Ancient Asbestos.
• There was a 'winding sheet of
amianthus in the Vatican library,
soft and pliable in the hand, and
showing indications of ignition upon
one corner. The cloth, hetwever, did
not suffer. This burning- is %taken as
showing that some combustible fibre
had been intermingled: Marco Polo,
in the thirteenth century, reported a
cloth vvhicli the nativeof territory
now included in Russian, Siberia
claimed as having been made of
salamander skin.'
Marco Pole satisfied himeelf, so it
seems, that he had to do With a min-
eral substance. In fact, he found out.
somethirag as to its man-ufacture. In
tbis same general regioe of country
asbestos is to -day known to exiet.
We are not to regard asbestos as a
single, definite mineral. Nor are we
to undt4stand that there is a fixed
chemical constitution. Certain 'forms
of hornblende and serpentine, if
fibrbus, are regarded at aebestos.

from this detail, all is as retilistleallY set

CARE OF MOULTING HENS DUR-
rNct HOT WEATHER.
(j. Harry Wolsieffer Philadelphia
, Record.)
The past hoe waves, with possibly
more to :allow, brought the Sect face
to face to the poultty keepers the con-
ditions 1'.at confront them in ,the
keeping hens in good condition and
especially the moulting hens, during
the period which is the moat trying.
one in their lives. At no time are
they subject to a greater strain than
through this period, which lasts from
90 to 120 days, according to the vigor
and conditionof the hen. After los-
ing many eggs, often under forced
pressure to a large extent, caused by
forced feeding, the fowls enter the deg
days of summer M none too good cell-
ditiona tied unless eytra care is taken
to carry them :through this trying time
a- heavy death race can be expected;
Rither that or the time between the
egg -laying perieds will the lengthened,
and those fowls that are retained as
future breeders will not enter the
winter in condition to produce eggs' of
strong fertility.
Poor resul's have often been caused
by the neglect in caring for the flock
during -the summer month, when egg
production falls off and the hens are
allowed to shift for themselves, due to
the feet that they were temporarily
non -producers, yet the feed bill goes
on just the came, the poultry keeper
losing sight of the fact' that the profit
made on each hen is based on the
year's average, and not on that of a
few months. Any hen that has Wel
144 eggs in the year has paid the
board bill and some over, and is en-
titled to the usual reste during the
moulting period.
..Some breeder e carry a third to one-
half of their flock to the second or
third laying year. These birds, which
are expected to again produce eggs in
paying quantities during the winter
and early spring to produce the kind
of chicIts that have a kick, must be
given extra care and attention during
the moulting season.
Little fault can be found with the
up-to-date incubators or brooders, now
well past the experimental stage, al-
though not as yet perfect. But a large
per cent. of the failure to secure a
good hatch of livable chicks can be
traced back to the stock, which was
weak perhaps in the first, place, or
weakened during its life time by forced
feeding methods, or lack of good care
during that period. The hens that are
to be retained as 1920 layers or breed-
ers sheuld be separated from the rest
cif, the flock, the others being dis-

be given conolfortable qearters, at least
four squire feet of floor space allowed

go dry during the greater part df the
day, or suffer them to drink warm
water. Water is one of the eesentials
in the poultry yard, or on the farm

But not as much corn, which is

during the late fall, winter and early

NEW CHICKEN PEED USED IN

A meal amen from the blue =smile
that are found in countleue numbere
Along the Danish coast has been tried
and Is now being used. It is claimed
that it will increase egg production
by more than 100 per cent. The food
values and the keeping qualities of the
meal are said to be eatisfactory. It is
delivered in sealed melte of 100 pounds,
costing half a cent a Mind.
One great trouble with ehellfish toed
as chicken feocl has been that When
the weather is warm it quickly spoils.
It is claimed, however, that if blue
mussels are dried at a very bigh tem-
perature and afterward ground to a
comparatively fine meal a feed le ob.
Mined which, if kept dry, is not ob-
jectionable and will keep a long time.
The meal in its dried form, accord-
ing to an analysis „made at an agricul-
tural experiment station, contalne the
following elementte Lime, 71.41 per
cent.; sugar, starch and other organic
matter, 13,21 per cent.; nitrogenous
matter, 11,64 per cent.; fats, 1.68 per
cent., and water, 2.06 per cent. Thus
It seems that the food contains an
unusually large quantity of nitrogen,
together with other nourishing ele-
ments, and a large amount of lime,
which is so necessary for forming
the egg shell. It is claimed that this
food mixed with grain gives ideal
nourishment for hens, turkeys, ducks
and geese.

Perhaps the roinantic proposals ot
fiction are more picturesque than the
usual proposals of real life; the fact
that lovers are reluctant witnesses
make it hard to tell. But certainly
the queer or comic pregiosals and at-
tempted propoeald of fiction cannot
be any queerer than seine of times
rt reye sirddee dt riandiat icotnural chronicle of coun-

&teal an amusing Middle West exam-
ple of a country bachelor who be-
latedly made up his mind to marry,
and in his default of female acquale-
tance took hie place on the top rail
of a roadalde fence and called to the
first' women who paeoed: "Say; X4311

"And then at the frightened an -
ewer indignantly gaeped out, 'Yee,

apology and explanation, and let
himself 'e vanieh by falling' into the
cornfield behind him."
Almost equally contemptuous of
finesse wa.s a New England bachelor
in middle life who had lived con-
tentedly on his farm under the able
administration of an aunt only a
year or two older than himself. His
next-door neighbor, and the owner
of a emall but cozy farmstead, was a
competent and contented spineter,
In whom Enos had displayed less
than the ordinary neighborly inter-
est. But one day he hailed her over
the dividing fence: eHi! Selina!"
Selina did not immediately under-
stand that she was being addressed,
and so Enos leaned acroas the fence
and continued shouting "Hi! HI!
Hi! Hi!" until he attracted her at-
tention.

"I think ye better, Enos."

"That's your say-so, Enos. My

,Certainly, whether she would have
bettered hereelf or otherwise, she
did not marry Enos, and he remain-
ed a bachelor.

panted indignantly, "Ye got to let

To insure the selection of a per-

cuaded to wait for a few days. Eive

lighted with the prospect of having a
permanent position so that he could
fetch his wife over from England.
