By J. G. Halpin, Wisconsin College of Agricul- ture.—~WNU Service. So far as minerals are concerned eggs seem to be a dependable source. There is not very much variation on | the content of ordinary minerals. Cer- | tain minerals such as iodine can be | increased by iodine feeding. A few | people have sold iodized eggs but feed- ing iodine to the hens does not appear to be a very satisfactory method of | supplying iodine to the human diet. Certain plants such as kelp are good sources of iodine but work at the Wis- consin Experiment station did not | shey, Picked From | Card Basket PERSONAL MENTION ABOUT THE COMERS AND GOERS AROUND HERE DURING THE PAST WEEK BY OUR SOCIAL REPORTERS Miss Maggie Haines is spending | the day at Harrisburg. Mrs. Anna Hendrix will return to- morrow after spending two weeks at York. Harold Kolp, of Hershey, visited his grandmother, Mrs. John Kolp on Tuesday. Mrs. Claude Husler and daughter, Myrtle, spent the week end at Royal- ton with Mr. Husler. Edwin Myers of town and Clarence Binkley, of Lititz, and friends spent Sunday at Quakertown. Mr. and Mrs. James Neal, of Her- visited Mr. and Mrs. show any consistent benefit from the |Hendrix on Saturday evening. use of kelp in the poultry ration. It is a good practice to use from one- half to one per cent of common salt in the ration and to be safe we suggest the use of an iodized stock salt. In this way we can be certain that our hens get all of the iodine that they apparently need. So far as the other minerals are concerned, if we supply oyster shell, meat scraps, or bone meal, or in other words if we use an ordinary good ration, then the flock will have all of the minerals needed and will build eggs of normal min- eral content. We cannot, for instance, increase the amount of calcium in her eggs. The same is apparently true of the other minerals. From the mineral standpoint, then, we cannot do anything practical to in- crease the mineral content. Perhaps we should say that the hen does not make an egg unless she has minerals enough available. In other words, eggs are dependable sources of min- eral without any bother on our part. Cockerel Problem Faces Leghorn Poultry Raisers There are three ways to meet the Leghorn cockerel problem: 1. Remove the cockerels when from three to four weeks old and transfer them to separate colony brooder houses, batteries, or other suitable quarters where they can be grown to marketable size. 2. Remove the cockerels as soon as their comb development indicates their sex (when from two to four weeks old) and sell or destroy them. This is a sure and economical method for sexing Leghorn chicks. Any poultry raiser can do a good job of sexing Leghorn chicks by the end of four weeks. 3. Buy day-old pullets or sexed day-old chucks. The first method will generally prove the best for those who have suitable equipment or quarters available for the proper care and growth of the cockerels until they can be marketed. If best results are to he secured from the pullets it is necessary to separate the cockerels from the pullets when from three to four weeks old. The cockerels are then too young to sell as broilers, they need artificial heat and if there is no suitable place where the cockerels can be properly brooded and eared for until they reach market- able size it is then and there that the cockerel problem arises.—National ‘Farm Journal. 4 Care for Good Birds It does not take any more feed and care to raise a pullet that will be a 200-egg producer than it does to raise one which will produce only a 100 eggs or less. The best way to get a start with a flock of high-producing hens, says the Prairie Farmer, is to buy baby chicks from such a flock and raise them carefully. The next best way is to buy a few good birds and keep them in a separate pen and hatch their eggs for a new flock. Good hens should be mated with a male bird from a high preduction strain in order that the progeny will have high-producng characteristics. In flock management it is well to keep the thought in mind that original cost is only a minor cost in flock replacement. Care and feed are the big items, and they can be wasted on poor birds, not worth the cost of their sustenance. Buff Turkey Breeders’ Club Buff turkeys quickly disappeared from the scene in America after the appearance of the Bourbon Red tur- key. Our old Buffs were as a rule neither good buff color nor good tur- keys. The same was true of most of the old Slate turkeys. In England Buff turkey breeders have organized a club and are industriously promoting inter- est in that breed. It appears also that the Slate turkey is being resurrected there with a more pleasing and distinc- tive color designated Blue. Soft-Shelled Eggs Soft-shelled eggs are laid by hens that cannot get enough lime to manu- facture the shells. or their feed does not assimilate so that the lime can be used in shell making; or, they are too fat. Inflammation also may be set up in the shell forming chamber of the oviduct so that it no longer secretes or makes use of the calcareous (lime) matter. Give the birds plenty of shell forming material, such as crushed egg shell, crushed oyster shell, calcined bone, broken mortar, or wheat bran. eet eee ! Mr. A. R.

Natives of this region had previously found the bodies of three mammoths which have served for meat for their dogs for more than a year. It is said that the frozen meat of these prehistoric monsters has even been found fit for human food. Archeologists declare this region once was covered by a forest and was the native habitat of huge beasts, long ex- tinct, whose bodies are being discov- ered preserved in ice or frozen earth.— Capper's Weekly. The British Isles It is scarcely possible to caleulate how many islands comprise the Brit- ish Isles, but more than 5,000 have been charted. Most of them are to be found off the western shores of Scotland and Ireland, where the coast has been brok en up by the full fury of the Atlantic Most numerous are the Hebrides, which comprise about 500, although the ma- jority of them are uninhabited. There are more than 50 Inhabited islands in the Shetlands and Orkneys, and there are about 150 others on which no one lives. Rabbit and Hare There are no true rabbits in North America, according to Frank Thone, of Science Service. Our so-called cotton- tail really belongs to the hare family. One difference between a rabbit and a hare, pointed out by Thone, is that a rabbit makes burrow but hares depend on their speed to out- run their enemies and content them- selves so far as shelter is concerned with crouching in coverts of brush or down timber. —————————————— Storks Herald Spring That the appearance of the first stork from the South marks the be- ginning of spring is an old German idea, according to Nature Magazine. In some communities of that country, this authority states, they used to post a man on a tower to keep watch for this harbinger of the season and an- nounce its approach by blowing a trumpet.

J. M. Milne, of the British mu- seum, in London, including an ancient shorthand dictionary written on papy- rus, parts of what must have been some student's exercise sheet like a modern stenographer’s notebook, but written on wax, and finally a contract between an intending student and stenographic business college. The language of the shorthand doc- uments is not Egyptian, but Greek, says a writer in the Baltimore Sun that language having displaced ancient Egyptian several centuries before these shorthand documents were written, which is believed to have been about 250 A. D. The principle og which the ancient shorthand was constructed is much the same as today. Simple signs, easy to write and easily connected with each other, were used to represent the ordi- nary Greek letters and thus the sounds of Greek speech, Greek being a lan- guage in which the sound and the letter agree much more closely than in Eng- lish. What now are called word signs were used for common words, leaving out a large part of each word and writing. for example, only the first and last let- ters. Some whole phrases in common use, such as the ornate phrases for he ginning and ending letters were treat ed in the same way. The business col lege contract shows that the student was to pay 40 drachmas in advance. equivalent to about $10. Another 40 drachmas were to be paid when the boy had mastered the shorthand text- book and a third 40 drachmas when he was able to write fluent shorthand and ‘read it faultlessly.” Color Variety in Poultry The prospective poultry breeder, in casting about for a breed or variety with which to specialize, is favored with a wide diversity of types and col- ors. The original color pigments in the plumage of fowls was red and black, according to authorities, but the pos- sible number of color variations is practically unlimited. Not only are there different colors such as brown, buff. blue, red and black, but various combinations of these. The colors not- ed are due to the presence of pigment or coloring matter in the shaft of the feather, The absence of any color pig- ment produces a white feather.—Los Angeles Times.
