They ex- pected dignity and a certain reserve, Tmt the old men greeted each other as in the old days. “Hello, Ed.” “Well, you old buzzard, Lige.” “And here's our little Willie boy!” They sal with their arms around each aiber; they told old tales of half- fergoien escapades, of tricks they had aged wpon each other, of the clever ways in whieh they had kept the wolf frome he door, for none of them had am ensy Jife in college.

His most important find was of twen- ty-five well preserved skeletons in a single mound. Most of the bodies had been folded with the knees to the chin and burial was very close together. The skele- tons were excellently preserved. The | burials probably took place before the coming of the white man, since only one bone was found with any evi- dence of disease and the artifacts as- soclated with the burials were purely | of native origin. The only objects in the way of mortuary offerings were pieces of broken pottery placed around the heads, an arrangement not known among other Indians. The mound contained no other artifacts.

Whea Without Soil San Francisco.—Growth of a super- wheat that reached maturity in 13 weeks with neither soil nor sunlight was announced here by the University of California. Wheat, under field con- ditions, often requires five months to mature, The announcement follows comple- tion of lengthy resea:ch in a labora- tory on the university campus by Prof. A, R. Davis of the division of agriculture chemistry and Prof. D. R. Roagiand of the division of plant nutrition. The experiment {is recognized by these sclentists as of the widest pos- sible import. The wheat was grown, it was re vealed, in a greenhouse laboratory, where artificial light was furnished by means of 12 argon-filled lamps of 300 candlepower each and where jars of water containing the chemical ele- ments necessary for plant growth re- placed the soil which ordinarily con- tains them. The quality of the wheat at ma- turity, the professors declare, was much higher than that raised under field conditions and could be classi fied as being of a “supernature.” The fact that the wheat was grown to maturity in 13 weeks, a previously unheard-of achievement, demonstrates. according to the investigators, that doeprrefredredrdbdoddedrrobdreebebohdod dob ddd DIPPING INTO SCIENCE peredreredebaredrebobddrbebdr dre docbdbobrd Whirlpools A whirlpool is created by the together of two strong currents of water.

With the doubling of the light exposure the plant development was. multiplied by four; the professors revealed, and when the light was ap plied for a full 24-hour day the growth was “astounding.” Previous experimenters in these pioneer field were troubled by the in- frared, or heat, rays from the lamps and used a water screen to solve the problem. But (his was an unsuccess ful solution, and Professor Davis found the correct one. He circulated air through the glass chamber by means of an electric fan. It was established that the sun rays which contribute to plant growth were present in the electric light rays, even to the longer ultra-violet rays.

Ground feed called mash, as | well as grain, is necessary. The fol- | lowing will give good results, he says: Grain—Cracked yellow corn, two parts; wheat, one part, and heavy oats a half part. Mash—One hundred parts each of bran, middlings, ground yellow corn; ground oats, and meat scrap, three parts each of salt and charcoal. Milk is an extremely valuable food for poultry—more valuable even than for hogs. Feed skim milk or butter- milk if possible, Reduce the meat scrap one-half if there is milk before the birds all the time, If they have milk only to drink the meat scrap can | be scrapped entirely, particularly if 5 per cent more bonemeal is added to the mash, One pint of cod liver oil to each hundred pounds of mash, mixed first with charcoal and then with the other ingredients, makes a valuable addition to the ration. The mash should be before the hens in hoppers or feeders all the time. More grain than mash should be fed during the cold weather with the reverse the case in summer. Feed lightly of grain in the morning. Warm water, oyster shell, grit and green or succulent feed such as alfalfa or clover leaves, mangels, carrots, | cabbage, cull potatoes, rutabagas or | sprouted oats should be furnished. | Changes should be made gradually, White Hollands From POULTRY | I { | | friend. Original Wild Turkey | | White Hollands are thought to have | originated from sports of the original wild turkeys, and perpetuated by se- lection and breeding. In fact, some in- formation leads ro the belief that the White Hollands were perfected in Eu- rope, where range was restricted and | nomadic habits most desirable, and | then later returned to America by | some of the early Dutch settlers. This | may be largely based on the docile, | domestic temperament, characteristic | of White Hollands, which would indi- cate the restricted areas of Europe of that day, rather than America. White Hollands are said to have been fairly well-known in England early in the Nineteenth century, and it may be due to their | speak, that they were later to become well known in the land of their na- tivity, than were some of the other | standard varieties which were perfect- ed in America. | Keep Poults Hungry for First 48 Hours Anyhow Turkey poults should not be fed any- | thing the first 48 hours after hatch- | ing. If they have free range, they will pick up some seeds and insects, which will vary the amount and kind of feed that may be needed after 48 hours. It is best always to keep them | | Just hungry enough so they will be | | hunting feed and getting the exer-| cise that is required for best growth and livability. Hard-boiled eggs chopped fine and mixed with corn- | bread crumbs have been found gen- | | erally satisfactory the first week, aft- | er which whole wheat and hulled oats | are good. Keep them out of wet grass | until they are well along. Three lit- | ters of eggs per year are generally | about all that will be satisfactory to hatch, because late-hatched poults are | likely to be less thrifty. { Kill Harmful Mites | Mites do not live on the chickens | i by day, but come out and suck their | | fill of blood when the birds are roost- | ing. First the poultry house must be | cleaned thoroughly. Trash, nesting | material, ete., should be taken out and burned. Then go over the whole house | thoroughly with crude petrofeum or | carbolineum, using either a spray pump longer.

Females of the Canadian breeds do not lay, as a rule, until they are three years old, but females | of any of the breeds may be kept for breeding.

They should be hoiled for at least 30 minutes so as to Kill all germs that may be in them. Then pulverize them in a jur or some container, using a square stick that will thoroughly mix the contents and pulverize the shell as well as the Interior portions, The only danger in feeding eggs lies in not cooking them long enough or over. | feeding. | Too, | foreign invasion so to MOST people know this absolute antidote for pain, but are you careful to say Bayer when you buy it?

An eight- pound baby, for instance, needs twen- ty-four ounces of fluid. Later on the rule is two ounces of fluid per pound of body weight. The amount of fluid absorbed by a breast-fed baby is best determined by weighing him befora and after feeding for the whole day; and it is easily calculated for the bot- tle-fed one. Then make up any de- ficiency with water. Giving baby sufficient water often relieves his feverish, erying, upset and restless spells. If it doesn’t, give him a few drops of Fletcher's Castoria. For these and other ills of babies and children such as eolie, cholera, diar- rhea, gas on stomach and bowels, con- stipation, sour stomach, loss of sleep, underweight, ete, leading physicians say there's nothing so effective. It is purely vegetable—the recipe is on the wrapper—and millions of mothers | have depended on it in over thirty years of ever increasing use. It regu- lates baby’s bowels, makes him sleep and eat right, enables him to get full nourishment from his food] so he in- creases in weight as he should, With each package you get a book on Moth- erhood worth its weight in gold.
