It seems as if living thing travels so rapidly over ground. But ask Dr. Walter Mosauer about this and he will scoff. Fast? A snake slips along no more rapidly than a man can walk. To be exact, 3.6 miles an hour is the record, as the doctor reveals in a ¢ontribution published in Copeia. Several different kinds _ of Caliâ€" fornian snakes were tested. The reâ€" cord of 3.6 miles an hour was made by the red racer and then only by prodding. In making his tests Dr. Mosauer would sometimes â€" let the snakes wriggle along in their way and at their natural pace and someâ€" times he would urge them along. The best that the gopher could do was 1,2 miles an hour. _A rattleâ€" snake at what Dr. ::Ollfi’, c‘": "prowling â€" speed" m only third of a mile an hour. Even when urged on he could do no better than two miles.an hour. The leather medal goes to the California boa for deâ€" clining to move faster than a quarter of a mile an hour, even when stimulated to its utmost.

Bird reported on refrigeration studies conducted by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, in conâ€" junction with the National Research Council.

Mr. Bird expressed the opinion that three to four weeks is all birds will stand in chilling storage and come out in good form. â€"Farmer‘s Advocate. This research work conducted at Macdonald College has a direct bearâ€" ing on the grading of market fowl, and Dr. F. N. Barcellus, Chairman of the Poultry Committee, interjected that there is a distinct swing to meat in the programme of many poultryâ€" men today. For a number of years many poultrymen thought only â€" of, eggs, but now they are deriving alâ€" most as much revenue from market fowl as from eggs, and birds for market are coming back more proâ€" minently into the farm poultry picâ€" ture. C ! At Macdonald College cereal grain‘s have been tested from the viewpoint of fattening and finishing birds for market. Professor W.. A. Maw said that corn distributes fat through and between the tissues of the fattening birds, whereas fat produced from wheat is largely laid down on the outside of ~the carcass beneath the skin. Cornâ€"fed birds are very palaâ€" table when eaten, whereas birds finished on wheat are inclined to be‘ dry and unpalatable. Barleyâ€"fed birds, particularly when cold, have a deâ€" licious chicken flavour. Dr. H. D. Branion, also of the O. A. C. staff, discussed the cereals from the viewpoint of growth, and ’introduced the argument that experiâ€" menters and research workers really do not know what constitutes quality in bone. Poultrymen sometimes have considerable difficulty with slipped tendons which cripple the chickens, yet the bone in that case may be‘ just as large and contain all the minerals found in the bone of the healthiest bird. Dr. Branion proâ€" phesied that it would be eventually learned that not mineral elements and their combinations but some other and now ‘unrecognized subâ€" stance would really constitute quality in bone of poultry, horses and other classes of live stock. â€"ecaid is AScaclet t hss ol in Aveii®s Avige snn Wt s tiincns a O. A. C. staff, showed from exâ€" perimental work how a mixture of farm grainsâ€"oats, barley, wheat and buckwheatâ€"along with . milk, were good for both hatchability and production. Liver meal proved to be a good substitute for milk from the viewpoint of hatchability, but if a poultryman has a variety of farmâ€" grown grains, including those named, and some milk, he can get good proâ€" duction from the flock, and the eggs will be hatchable. Some interesting results of poultry experiments were reported by the poultry committee of the Canadian Society of Animal Production, which held a meeting at the O. A. C. on June 12. The discussion centred aâ€" round cereal grains and their use in poultry nutrition. J. B.
