The recommended procedure is to buy day-old chicks from a reliable hatchery that Is known to be free of puOorum disease and other infections. The farmer can then"' raise his own males for the breeding flock in* stead of gambling on a questionable source. Use of day-old chiclu also is recommended for replacing the laying flock.

Or, borne on the soft sir of a mild Indian summer evening, threads of gossamer may combine to form silken scarfs that float hundreds of miles on warm currents. Gossamer is the vehicle of wing' less flight practiced by spiders of many species through ages that man was earthbound. Newlv hatched spiders possess an instinct for flight as the means of dispersing from their overpopulsted birthplace in order to survive. Few winged creatures can surpass their flying tests. Climbing to a high point on a clod or blede of grass, the spiderling spins a thin gossamer strand and feeds it into warm air rising from the ground. Inserting an occasional fluffy crimp in the thread for the breezes to waft the youngster soon has upward pull enough to carry him off. Flight can be somewhat controlled by hauling in or letting out the silk.

Strains of houseflies and mosquitoes which are resistant to the insecticide have been reported from many parts of the world. After control operations cease, swamps or marshes sprayed appear devoid of mosquitoes. Freed of competition from less fortunate members of their tribe, however, the few immune survivors present breed snd multiply until, in many places, they predominate.
