THE BEAUFORT NEWS THURSDAY MARCH 12, 192S. PAGE SEVEN liSY FIRST REQUIREMENT FOR SANITARY COOP The first requirement for a sanitary lien house Is a roomy, dry building with plenty of window space and easy 'means of ventilation. Dropping boards under the roosts re quite essential for the proper malntenanne of cleanliness. They should be made of tongued and frooved flooring well laid, and should be r' least three feet above the floor of the house. If nests are under the dropping boards, three feet six Inches would be tetter height. In the case of heavy breeds runways up to the roosting perches should be used, but with leghorns and other light breeds they are not necessary. Dropping boards should be level, and the perches arranged about six Inches above them. The perches should be on a level, also, and of 2 by 2 material. They should be fastened to 2 by 4 sup ports that are hinged at the back end of the house so that the roosts can fce raised out of the way while scrap ing the dropping boards. A hoe with 15 or l-lnch blade Is very satisfactory for scraping the dropping boards, and If used regular ly once or twice a week will assist materially in maintaining the health of the flock. A small box arranged to hang from and slide along the front edge of the dropping board platform, to receive the droppings as they are acraped from the board, will help to preserve the fertilizer for the garden. One nest should be provided for each five or six birds, and even more if trap nests are used. Twelve by twelve Inches is large enough and one-fourth Inch mesh hardware cloth Is excellent for the bottom. Wall nests are to be preferred to those located under the -dropping platform, but the wall nests require a top place at an angle of at least 43 degrees, to prevent the chlck--ena roosting on them. The runways along the front of the nests can also lie made to fold up in front of the nest openings, which will keep the young birds from roosting In the nests at night and fouling them. Dry mush hoppers are essential to the economical feeding of the flock; they should be raised on legs 13 Inches to 2 feet from the floor. Water stands should be raised the name as the mash hoppers, and are best made with a slatted top in the middle of which an opening Is left to receive a 12-quart pail. The support for the bucket should be about six Indies lower than the top of the plat form. A broody coop where feverish hens can be conttned and fed is much to be preferred to ducking them or to star vation. A catching coop la very desirable and almost necessary where any regu lar and consistent effort at culling Is attempted. A heavy wire with one end bent to form a hook and the other nd tied to an old broom handle Is useful in catching a bird or two, as occasion may demand. A bin where two or three hundred pounds of scratch grain may be stored In the chicken house Is also a labor .saver. Details as to the construction of dif ferent items mentioned above must of course vary with the size of the flock and local conditions. Difficult to Determine Sex of Goose or Gander Ganders are usually a little larger and coarser than geese. The head of the gander Is apt to be larger and the ueek thicker. The cry of the goose to rather harsh, while Hie gander makes a shrill cry. The only accurate way is examination of the organs, or observation of the flock at mating time. Laying abiHty of geese depends on the breed and the individuals. Tou louse geese will usually average about twenty eggs, and some produce thirty to thlrty-flve. White Chinese geese will lay from fifty to one hundred eggs. Te Emdens are not generally quite as good layers as Toulouse, although very similar. The lameness may be due to rheu matism caused by spending the night In a damp roosting placa Goslings sometimes become lame, due to faulty feeding methods cntixed hy lack of mineral matter or animal feed In the Tatlon. Early Hatching Favored Hatching in March and April instead of May and June has several advan tages. In the first place, the early hatches do not meet the strenuous wmpetltlon of chicks that are Incu bated by hens later In the season. The Incubator can be made to yield snore .profitable returns by running It dur ing the early months when farm work ttas not become heavy. Winter Egg Production Winrer egg production does not de pend entirely on the number of bens yon keep. Regardless of the size of the flock they will all do the same thing without a balanced ration. Near ly everyone knows what Is needed to feed he.is . balanced ration. The problem Is to keep all the different Items on hand all the time. , It really takes skillful management to do It s many poultrymen work on limited capital and something Is always ra ving short Scotch Cow Evidently Had Fondness for Fish The real heroine of this adventure was a cow. xhe angler could cast a fly and had caught trout in the south of England, but had never so much as seen a salmon river. Great was bi Joy therefore, when one day he received an Invitation to fish one of the roost famous spring salmon rivers In the north of Scotland, says the Field. In the very first cast that he tried he hooked and landed his first salmon- -a ten-pounder. The flst salmon is always the most (rfect nd beautiful that ever was seen and the angler reflected, that i be carrlfj hi Hah In the bag .ill My It would dry and lose Its lovely sn. On the '.op of the brae there as marshy nook that would answer bis purpose gdmlratty. He deposited his treasury -in tlws nest and, having cov ered k wit!: a thick layer of rushes, went n his way. Tf j r,st of the day he caught noth ing iic'ept a half-pound trout. Still be was very happy and content as he turned homeward and whistled mer rily as he approached the marshy nook. But there he found a highland cow In the act of consuming his salmon, of which little remained ex cept the head and the tall. In his anger he flung the trout savagely at the cow, hitting her full In the face; but, so far from taking offense, she seemed rather to think that he had brought her a bonne bouche where with to complete the feast, for, after gazing at blm for a moment with the Innocent, confiding eyes of her kind, she contentedly swallowed the trout Rules of Politeness Were Not for Tennyson Tennyson gained a reputation In bis later years for rudeness. It was due perhaps to his dislike of intru sions upon bis solitude. When the mood was upon him he was apt to disregard entirely the conventional ities, says the Kansas City Star. A neighbor of the poet laureate ence asked If he might bring to Aid worth a woman who was visiting In his home. She was well known In so ciety. It was carefully explained to Tennyson that the woman had a great admiration for the poet's works and desired very much to see him. Tenny son assented quite readily, telling the neighbor to bring her to luncheon and named the day. When the day ar rived the poet had forgotten all about It and, as It chanced, was In one of his solitary moods. The woman was Introduced; Tenny son bowed. Luncheon was announced and they went in. She sat next ber host, who throughout the meal did not utter a word. At the end of It he re tired In silence to his own room and the woman left the house to which she had made her pilgrimage In hope and reverence, not having beard so much as the sound of the poet's voice. Cockney' a Absent "H" In Latin and the languages, such as French, derived from It, the "h" is not pronounced. Its omission being due to the slightly different throat for mation In different races. For cen turies after the Norman conquest Latin and Norman French were the official tongues of England, and the aspirate, therefore, was never sounded. With the gradual rise of English as a na tional language, the "h" came Into fashion, though even today one may occasionally find an old-fashioned clergyman who clings to the ancient tradition and speaks with conservative correctness of an "umble man." In the main, however, the dropping of the "h" was left to the less-educated classes, particularly those In London, which, as the court and official center, had of course been more affected by the French non-aspiration, than the more truly English north country. Cave Tint to Water Opposite Buckingham palace Is to be found the Victoria memorial. This beautiful piece of workmanship Is particularly remarkable for the clear, delicate green of the water In its mar ble basins. The secret of Its coloring and translucency was revealed recent ly when two workmen were observed solemnly drawing a large sack to and fro through the water. They ex plained to an Interested onlooker that the sack was filled with a certain sub stance which, while preventing the growth of weeds, gave the water its delicate apple-green tint. London Times. Oldest Form of Writing The Egyptian system of writing la perhups the oldest of the known scripts. This writing was In the form of pictures. The most ancient Egyp tian papyrus now known contains ac counts of the reign of King Assa (33SO-3536 B. C). The earliest lit erary papyrus Is that known for the name of Its former owner as the Prisse Papyrus, now preserved In Paris. It contains a work composed In tbe reign of a king of tbe fifth dynasty, and la computed to have been written as early as 2500 B. O. Caddy? Limitation One day "Fiery" was caddy lng for a rather petulant golfer, who, after miss ing a short putt on tbe ninth green at Mulrfield threw bis putter into the neighboring potato field to relieve his feelings. With face unmoved. "Fiery" was walking Id tba direction 'of tbe next tee when the golfer said : "Oh I 'Fliry,' you might go and get my putter." To this "Fiery" replied: "I'm paid tae carry, no tae fetch and carry." OTWAY NOTES. We are having soma pretty weath- Cl I1UW. I There will be services at tlie P.
