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.

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.
Tomato Surprise Canape.
6 tomatoes
1 oup chopped celery
1 Philadelphia cream cheese
*4 cup chopped nuts r
oup capers or chopped dl_l_vga??=^
Lettuce
Skin six firm tomatoes and place In
refrigerator. Mix celery, cheese,
nuts and capers together, adding to
mato pulp taken from- tomatoes
thoroughly chilled. Before scoop
^Anfcout tomatoes cut off small piece
of top and insert through a slit l ir
this a small lettuce leaf, to represent
handle. 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.

Most Penetrating Ray?
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

Whose Fault?
When a Child Won't Study
"Kept after school!" And it isn't
the child's fault, or the teacher's.
Ilis mother is to blame. How can a
boy get his lessons when his senses
are dulled day aft?r day by dosing
with sickening purgatives? \Vbea
a child's bowels are stagnant they
need help, of course. But not some
drastic drug to upset tho stomach,
perhaps weaken the entire system:
or form the laxative habit. On
the right, parents will find a
happy solution of this problem:
Here's a boy who gets good marks,
has time and energy for play. He is
never ill, hardly ever has so much
as a cold. When ho does show any
symptoms of being sluggish, his
mother knows just what to do. She
gives him a little California Syrup
of Figs ? and that is all. It's a
natural, fruity laxative that is
agreeable to take, and its gentle
laxative action comcs from sonna.
Parents arc urged to use just
Sure California Syrup of Figs,

Two things I wanted
"...and It was all so simple when I found out my
trouble. My physician said I had no organic disease,
but I did have what is so commonly and truthfully
called a low percentage of hemo-glo-bin in the blood.
"The reasonableness of one of the S.S.S. ads caused
me to think that S.S.S. Tonic was iust what I needed
for my let-down feeling, pimply skin and low resist
ance. I wanted more strength and a clear skin.
. "It didn't take S.S.S. very long to get my blood
back up to normal ? and as my strength and energy
returned my skin cleared up.
If your condition suggests a tonic of this kind, try
S.S.S. It is not just a so-called tonic but a tonic spe
cially designed to stimulate gastric secretions, and
also having the mineral elements so very, very neces
sary in rebuilding the oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin
of the blood.
