The most that the school doctor or rause can do is to advise parents to take their children to the family doctor for whatever treatment they need. if there is no school doctoror nurse, the parents would be well advised to have their doctor examine their children, for ev- en though they may appear to be well, they may be suffering from sonic condition which requires atten- tion.

Machine Pulls Feathers These days one hears a lot about the "machine age" and of what ma- chines will do, but it is certainly in- teresting to note that a machine has been developed which will pall the feathers off a hen faster than it can be dome by hand and do a better job. By the simple process of using sets of aluminum disks, each revolving at a slightly different plane than the other, art efficient picker is produced. The disks are lined with rubber, elim- inating noise and giving a better grip. They operate at a speed of fifty plucks per second. On easy birds the plucking can be completed in two minutes, while on young roosters about three and a half minutes are required. The saving ef- fected by this machine is better ap- preciated when it is considered that an average speed for hand, plucking is around six birds per hour.

The earliest well -authenticated 1 instance of the medicinal use of cin- chona bark is found in 1635, when the countess of C'hinchon (hence the, name), the wife of the governor of I Peru, was cured of an attack of fever by its administration. The medicine was recommended in her case by the Corregidor of Losa, who was said tai hnv? practically experienced its su- preme virtues eight years earlier.

Some 40 club members re- ceived a pair of weanling sows early in the spring and after. a summer's hard work, they carne together for their final achievement day. Their entries made a splendid display and added much to the exhibit of swine at the fair.

This is a princi- ple which has been accepted for many years, and each succeeding year in pedigree breeding work shows more conclusively that it is sound. It is largely through the mate bird that the benefits of high power blood lines developed' through specialized breed- ing are passed along to the advant- age of farm flocks generally. Heretofore the cost of pedigreed male birds has been such as to place there beyond the reach of the aver- age fanner. 13y arrangement with breeders this year, however, a supply of cockerels of really fine quality are being made available at a cost not to exceed $5 per bird. The federal De - pertinent of Agriculture is assuming one-third of-� this cost and is paying ttansportation charges to distribution points. The bulk of the sly of these birds comes from R.O.P.l breed- ers in the several provinces.

This custom is supposed to preserve the apple crop by driving off tree "hoggards" and other bad spirits.
