PHEASANT CHICKS FROM INCUBATORS Good Results Reported by Experiment Station. ] T\<o years of experiments on 11,000 eggs and 1,000 chicks of rlngnecked pheasants gave results which have been published In a bulletin by the Pennsyl- j vanla state college agricultural experi ment station. Prof. E. \V. Callenbach, of the poul try husbandry department, conducted the project In co-operation with the Pennsylvania board of game commis sioners. Ttye Investigation Included artificial methods of propagation for rearing the pheasants. , j It was found that rlngnecked pheas ant eggs can be hatched satisfactorily In modem artificial Incubators. The best results were obtained when the eggs were incubated for eighteen days at relatively high humidity In an agl tated-air or forced-draft Incubator and then were hatched In a separate, sec tional, still-air Incubator. Rlngnecked pheasant chicks were brooded satisfactorily In colony houses with attached wlre-lloqred sun porches. After the chicks reached six weeks of age they needed more room. Mattery brooding proved unsatisfactory be cause of excessive mortality and poor feather development. Better early growth of rlngnecked pheasant chicks was obtained on ra tions of higher protein content than those used for chicks of the domestic fowl. The best growth and feathering and the greatest feed consumption per 100 chicks were obtained through the use of a ration analyzing approximate ly 28 per cent protein. Claw Guards on Toms to Save Injury to the Hens With a few cents worth of rubber tubing for each torn, turkey growers can solve one of their most serious problems, that of having hens severely lacerated and sometimes even killed during the breeding season by the sharp claws of the male birds. Doctor W. A. Billings, veterinary specialist at the Minnesota University farm, sug gests putting a short length of rubber tubing over each toenail of breeding toms. Tubing one-fourth Inch In diameter with one-sixteenth Inch hole, Is the va riety recommended. A half-Inch piece of tubing Is slipped on over the toe nail and left protruding a little beyond the Bharp end. It Is suggested that the claw be smeared with rubber tire ce ment or glue before the rubber Is put on. The guards do not Interfere with the gait of the toms and do not Beem to annoy them In any way. The UBe of these guards not only will protect the hens, but will make It unnecessary to use saddles or canvas coverings for them. Chlorine for Poultry A new method of combating bron chitis, colds, roup and other respira tory diseases In poultry has been de veloped by the New York State Vet erinary college and the State InBtltute of ApplIed'Agrlcul^nre at Farmlngdale, Long Island, N. Y. The method calls for the use of a new dry, hyoehlorlte powder containing 15 per cent chlorine, which Is dusted Into the air over the birds with a dust gun after the birds are on the roosts at night. This per mits the birds to Inhale the chlorine liberated from the powder, destroying the bacteria, drying up the secretions snd helping to prevent the spread of Infection. Turnips for Poultry Turnips may be fed to poultry either raw or In cooked mashes. When fre.ih and sweet, they appear to be as good raw as are mangels but they do not keep so well and, as soon as they be gin to decay, are likely to give n dis agreeable llavor to the eggg of fowls eating them. The feeding of turnips not perfectly sound Is probably respon sible fpr the general belief that any tnrnlp will taint eggs. Turnips con tain a large amount of vitamins but they are hard and woody and for that reason are not quite ns good as some other root crops. < > ;< The Austral orp Fowl The Australorp fowl Is, In reality, a Rlack Orpington. The breed was developed In Australia from the orig inal Orpington which originated In Hngland.. The egg laying Australorp Is a tighter feathered bird than the Orpington, not quite so bulky In ap pearance but of preclsoly the same weight. They are not n new breed In reality, although they have not been to the fore very long. They are the . ?Kg-l?yl?g type of Hlack Orpington Wlfh s modified body. Poultry Industry's Growth v From the time of the first settle ments In the United States to 1R2A ' ith^re was no great demand for domes tic fowls because of the plentlfulness of wild ,*owl. From then on the pOul tit Industry expanded along commer clftl lines, largely as a result of cheap Vjffaln In the Inland districts and Im proved transportation from those dls (Hots to the more Important connum I#* seetlons of the Rest, and the lead and more popular ^ Frtropean treed* were Imported. vi For Ever -Popular Canapes Delicacies Accepted as Almost Indispensable Part of the Pre-Dinner Hour Offer Little Difficulties in Their Preparation. Canapes ? only a few years ago we were asking each other how to pro nounce the word, and now they are an accepted part of every woman's food program. They add entertain ment as well t?s savor to the half hour before dinner and everyone en Joys looking at a tray of attractive canapes, as well as eating them. They take time to make, and dis appear In a moment, but I think they repay vs for our effort when we see oar gnests appreciate them so much. I find that the easiest way to make them Is to cut the crusts from the loaf of bread and to spread It length wise with flavored butter. Perhaps I will use ketchup or plmlentp but ter for the first slice, anchovy butter for the next, watercress or parsley butter for the third, and cheese for Ihe fourth. This gl?es a contrast of ?olor as well as flavor. I then cut these large slices Into finger lengths, squares, diamonds nnd rounjls, or oc casionally with fancy cutters Into more Interesting shapes. I arrange them on a damp cloth and then gar nish each one with a different combi nation of contrasting gnrnlshos. I have the garnishes ready ? thin slices of pickles, green peppers and plmlentoes, or slices of anchovies, stuffed olives and hard-cooked eggs, minced egg whites and strained egg yolks, tiny (capers) blrdseye onions and lobster clawa. I take Just a few moments to arrange these garnishes ( In simple designs. On the finger length strips I may put an overlap ping row of stuffed olives, or the same around the edge of a round. The strips of green pepper can -be crossed or arrnnged In a simple de sign ? the egg slices put In the cen ter, the egg-whites, well seasoned, nsed as an edging, the egg yolks to sprinkle In the center or around the edges. Just the least change of ar rangement will make every canape Individual. Sometimes I use with these a simple canape ? Just spread with butter, and sprinkled with chut ney or gome other mixed pickle. There Is also another sort of ca nape which makes a good first course at the table. Either bread, toast or filed bread la used as Its foundation and It Is spread first with a flavored butter and then covered with slices of tomato, cucumber and hard-boiled egg, and garnished with mayonnaise, btuffed olives f>lloisd, or sliced ripe olives or truffles. A hot mushroom canape Is aiso delicious. This Is made by sauting the mushrooms, ar ranging them on the bread and cov ering with a mushroom, and a slice of grilled tomato may be put under the mushroom. Sometimes a more elaborate canape such as salmon eggs, for which I am giving the reci pe, Is used. Another Interesting combination Is made of latticed an chovy fillets or cheese spread. You may like to use small baked toma toes on t6ast and cover them with a chftese sauce. A stuffed egg gar nished attractively Is another sug gestion. Stuffed raw tomatoes or slices of green pepper stuffed with cheese, garnished with plmlentoes, Is another savory choice. Frozen cheese cut Into squares, served on a slice of tomato or a bed of sh ..ed let tuce is another suitable appetizer. Crab or lobster salad on a bed of cucumbers is another suggestion for a sold _canane. This should be served on buttered bread and gar nished with green peppers or capers. We certainly have gone much fur ther in our canape preparation than the dictionary ? "A slice or piece of bread fried In butter or oil, on which anchovies, mushrooms, etc., are served." Cornucopia Canape. Toast bread, cut In flnger-lengths, spread with mayonnaise and chopped egg yolk. Fold a slice of dried beef Into a cornucopia, fill with onion-sea soned crenm cheese, and lay on toast. Shrimp Canape. Mix chopped parsley with creamed butter, and spread on small squares of bread. Top with a shrimp, arxl fill center with seasoned minced egg yolk and pimento.

Mix celery, cheese, nuts and capers together, adding to mato pulp taken from- tomatoes thoroughly chilled.

Place on lettuce leaves and serve with mayonnaise or french I dressing, whichever Is preferred. Quick Meal. Clam Juice cocktail Asparagus with poached egRs and cheese Lettuce and tomato salad Ice cream with crushed strawberries Cookies Coffee For the quick meal today, 1 am suggesting an asparagus debauch, which any devotee of this vegetable likes to have as soon as it gets with in a reasonable price. It makes a delicious main dish served around poached eggs on toast. It should be Pressed with brown butter and grated cheese or with hollandnlse sauce which goes so well with both eggs and asparagus. With this a mixed tomato and cucumber salad with a french dressing will go well. For dessert we might have ice crenm with crushed strawberries or fresh pine apple. To go back to the beginning of the meal, If the night is warm, a chilled clam or tomato Juice cock t nil will be refreshing. Order of Preparation.

Neutron rays, the most disruptive force known to science, are produced at the University of California with the huge 85-ton magnet device. Neu trons are recently discovered parti cles In the nuclei of atoms. The rays are more penetrating than X-rays or radium. Charged hydrogen gas particles are pnmped into the machine and are circulated at high speed. At a velocity of f>0,000 miles an hour the particles strike a metal target nnd "crack-up." Only the neu tron particles thus released can pene trate lead, so a lead shield filters out other particles and the pure neutron rays emerge. The rays come through the lead window at the rate of 10, 000,000 electrons a second. Scientists hope the neutron ray may be useful T(V_J_he medical profession. ? Chicago Tribune.
