Passenger Pigeon E%'ery species or subdivision ol a species of domestic pigeon to be found in our country today had its origin in some European or Asiatic country, according to an authority in the Rural NewYorker. North America, did, however, have a truly representative American pigeon, the Passenger pigeon, a wild pigeon whose natural habitat wus the entire continent. This Darticular American Lird would be with us today, had it not been for the unmerciful laughter of it by those whose only thought was the making of "easy money," which brought about its extinction. i.i' \Wr 1 mm I I Til fiiM Iggjg^Ji TO regain lost weight Is a simple matter when certain bodily functions are restored to normal.

WNU?7 41?36 The Cherokee Scot iiiir' PULLETS REQUIRE EARLY ATTENTION Time to Select Layers and Move Off Range. By C. M. Fcrpuson. Ptnltrv Specialist. Ohio State L'niversity.?WNU Service. , , With approach of the time of year ' for moving pullets in ofF of range to laying houses fall management practices have been found to give satisfaction. j ' Let the first group to be moved in include those pullets which are most ! advanced, are shoWing considerable comb development and are about ready to begin laying. Of the pullets left on range, it will become evident in a couple of weeks that possibly half of them are then also ready to be moved in. That will leave on range only the slower maturing, less thrifty pul- | lets, which without competition from I the stronger, thriftier pullets will generally show a surprising develop- 1 ment. In this last group there will be pullets not making a satisfactory i growth, which pullets it is usually good economy to finish off for the i market. If the pullets are to be used in the : second year as breeders, different colored leg bands put on as they are brought in off of range will be of con- | siderable value in selecting the earlier maturing birds as breeders. Most farm poultrymcn realize the importance of thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting their poultry houses \ against red mite infestation before moving the pullets in from range. If any body lice are found on the pullets, sodium fluoride sprinkled 1 well into the pullet's feathers will kill the lice. Or nicotine sulfate applied to the roosts late in the after- ' noon will give of! fumes, which will I exterminate the lice while the pullets are roosting. Good ventilation, without too much draft on real cool nights is especially important for a few 1 weeks after the pullets are housed i in off range. In this connection, in- ! sulated houses are much cooler in the summer and also much warmer ! in the winter. Elaborate insulation I is not necessary. Straw lofts will | often provide sufficient insulation at ! very low cost. It is always wise to have the pul- | lets switched over to their complete 1 laying rations before they are i brought in from the range. Have House Ready as Pullets Begin to Lay The ideal place for the pullets is out on range?preferably in range shelters. It is possible to keep the pullets on range too long. If over 10 per cent are laying they should be taken to the laying house. This is especially true if the other pullets commence to redden up. With early-hatched birds, prop- j erly fed, there comes a time when i they have to lay. In that case prepare for them. The laying house | should be cleaned and disinfected. There should be clean litter. Have j plenty of feed hoppers and it helps if they are similar to the type the pullets are used to eating from I while on range. Be careful to have , I all the nests. droDDines boards and roosts fixed. The windows, venti- . lators, etc., should be fixed before moving the pullets into their new quarters. Move the pullets as quietly as possible. Many bloody eggs are caused because of undue excitement and ' rough handling. If one has con- i siderable room and a large flock of i pullets he should place similar pullets together. If all the pullets in ' one house mature about the same 1 time they can all be handled alike. Pullets should be sorted.?Indiana Farmer's Guide. , i Strain on Hens It takes vigorous birds to stand j the# strains of high egg production, says Dr. W. A. Hagan of New York State Veterinary college, who states: "A 200-egg hen, for instance, produces at least five times her own weight in eggs in a single year, and this is perhaps ten times as | much as she would produce without t domestication." < Grain Ration for Poultry Higher egg production is secured ' by feeding only a small amount of ' grain in the morning and the re- i mainder at night. The morning feed ( should be in clean litter about four to six inches deep. There is a growing tendency among poultrymen to make the afternoon feeding in troughs and this is a good practice, ( especially where infectious diseases | or internal parasites are present. A I flack 01 lWt hens will ordinarily con- I sume 10 to 12 pounds of grain a day i 1 it, Murphy, N. C., Thu v -1 rr Ixeeping Up WjlfcScience J^yScjence Service ? ScIpiim S.Tvir? ?WNtI Service Brain Becomes Hot When Ey es Are Busy, Scientist Reveals Delicate Meter Tests Temperature Changes Chicago.? Measuring the heat of a brain-wave is the latest achievement of Dr. R. \V. Gerard of the University of Chicago, who 10 years ago, with Dr. A. V- Hill, British Nobel prizeman, first measured the heat of a nerve message. Ir, the past four years much attention had been aroused since Scientists found it possible to measure the electricity which the brain produces when it works. More recently. Dr. Gerard reported to the American Physiological society, the amount of oxygen used by portions devoted to the senses of sight and touch has been measured. He has now been able, with a thermometer which records a change in temperature of 0 00075 degrees Centigrade to measure the temperature changes oi the living brain. How Instrument Works. The thermometer is an electrical one, and the "bulb" is the size of a fine needle. This is inserted into the particular part of the brain zi the laboratory a n m a i to be studied. When it is desired to find out the heat involveo in seeing, the needle goes into the paths that lead from the optic nerve: and the eye, for instance, where it is located within one twenty-fifth of an inch. Illuminating the eyes at the experimental animal, the experimenters found that these optic pathways in the brain began, within a minute, to get warmer. For twc minutes more the temperature rose, until it was a hun dredth of a degree above normal fo. the resting brain. Four minjtes after this, the temperature was again that of the resting orain. Reaction of Paws. The Chicago physiologists found a similar response to pressing the paw, when the tiny thermometer bulb was placed in that part of the brain which has to do with touch. In some parts of the brain, both pressing and "seeing' had the effect of raising the brail temperature. The investigators have evidence that these changes in the brain temperature are in part due to an increase of blood flow to the portion of the brain used in sight, Aihen the eye is illuminated, and to that portion which is used to aisim>;uisn toucn when Che animal is pinched; but in prrt due to the actual work done by the nerve cells. Suicide Decrease [s Recorded in Vear's First Half New York.?A new drop in the suicide death rate among insured wage-earners is in prospect for :his year, if the better record of .he first half of this year is maintained. Figures compiled by Metropolitan Lafe Insurance company statisticians show that the suicide rate was 8.9 per 100,000 during the past six months. The (act that the increase in suicides leached its peak at the very reight of the depression caused some speculation as to whether economic conditions influenced selflestruction. Plants Crossed Pacific 200.000.000 Years Ago Cambridge, Mass. ? Evidence :hat plants migrated across the Northern Pacific ocean nearly 200,000.000 years ago in the epoch cf time that geologists call Lower Pernian has been unearthed in Texas by Harvard explorers. The discovery ot two new species it Tingia, a genus ol lonj, extinct plants hitherto unknown in America out found in China, was announced p> the Harvard University Botanical museum where the specimens were studied. irsday, October 8, 1936 'Can't Miss' Torpedo Repeats Attack if First Shot Fails ProjectMe Invented bv John Hays Hammond, Jr. A"CAN"T-MISS" torpedo one that would come back f it should miss on the first attempt, and strike the enemy battleship on the opposite side is described | in a patent recently granted in 1 Washington, D. C.. to John Hays Hammond, Jr., one of America's champion inventors who has a total of some 385 patents to his credit. The enemy ship itself would cause the errant torpedo to return for a strike. The inventor also reveals in his patent a method intended to control whole groups of torpedoes by radio, so that like an attacking squadron of airplanes, they may be maneuvered in v-shaped, echelon (oblique), or any other formation. slowed up or speedea against any attacking fleet of battleships. Can Turn About. Only when a torpedo fails to make a direct hit, does a novel control device built in the torpedo go into operation to turr. the torpedo about and ledirect it to crash into the hull of the ship. This unique mechanism Inventoi Hammond calls a "magnetic balance." It is connected to a long antenna which trails in the water behind the torpedo. The torpedo also has a wireless receiving mechanism by which the firing ship may steer the torpedo to the left or right according to the direction of movement of the enemy battleship. Thus, one dash on the radio signal turns the torpedo so many degrees tc the left: two dashes, so many degrees to the right, while a long dash operates mechanism which reduces the torpedo s speed. If a whole salvo is Tired at once, the individual iorpedoes inay be arranged in any attacking formation by the radio control. The "magnetic balance," which makes the torpedo turn an about face in case it misses, is a complicated electrical mechanism so connected that it lies dormant until there is a miss. Bats Have "Homing" Instinct, German Scientist Finds Berlin.?Bats migrate like birds, though not to such great distances. Like birds, they know the way home again. Female bats have a second "home"?a nursery cave, where their young are born, and where males very rarely intrude. These are among the results of an intensive study of bat ways con ducted by Dr. Martin Eisentraut of the University of Berlin here. Dr. Eisentraut attached identifying bands to ovei 6,000 bats, after the manner of banding birds. He did this while the bats were in their winter quarters in two places in central Germany. Captured and reported subsequently, the bats showed migration tendencies principally toward the north and east, but their range was not great. Range 300 Miles. In no case did it exceed 300 miles, and many of the little animals did not fly more than four or five miles. In winter quarters, male ana female bats share the same caves, hanging in great clusters from the ceiling and wall projections. Meat Made Tender Quickly by Chemical Injection Washington.?Now that steak may be given an added tender] ness! How meat in general may be made more tender by pumping a special "tendering" solution into the arteries of cattle right after they are slaughtered is revealed in a patent granted here to Levi S. Paddock and Cleo A. Rinehart, Chicago inventors. Enzymes, akin to those which help the stomach digest food, are used by the inventors in their tendering solution. By their method of pumping dilute solutions of such enzymes as trypsin, pepsin and papain into the vascular system of the animal body, the inventors claim that they avoid the long period of aging which is practiced to obtain tender meat. , ????????????__ Truth Telling *T"* RUTH tolling is an achieve* mcnt. a mark of strong mind and character. It requires accurate observation o{ facts, a reliable memory, a sense of justice towards others, and courage to tell the truth to our own hurt. So often lying is due to sheer cowardice. The fight is harder for some than for others, but those who statt the day praying to the God of truth to make them honest discover that more and more they succeed ir. "putting away lying." You can build no tomorow without today's foundation. Cowboy Terms If you are one of those who i thought lariat and lasso meant the same thing you have been badly fooled. One is a noun and the ! other a verb in the cattle country. according to Dan McCarthy, of Montana, in his book of "cowboy lingo, rodeo terms, dude ranch jargon, range profanity and other Western expressions" pub| lished for the benefit of posterity. ty. A "lariat," according to the I author, is a rope often used to "lasso" various animals. A i "paint" is a horse 'splashed with several colors" while "rotten log? gin' " has nothing to do with a lumber camp. It means "sparkin* " in the moonlight. ?: ? -3 5$ AND io?
