Crude Hooks in Use' by Early Fishermen In France several eaves have been found In which men are believed to hare lived about 200,000 years ago. In these were found what are probably the oldest fishhooks so far known to have been used by man. These first-known hooks consist of stone ground dawn Into the shape of a small banana with a ridge cut in the middle, (he string, or whatever was used for a Una, having been tied round the stone in this ridge. Cave men of ages ago took this banana shaped stone and covered It with meat Then they kindly allowed a fish to swallow the whole thing. J Then the fisherman would give a pull on the string, or whatever It was. The "hook" would straighten out hori zontally and therefore refuse to come out of the water without the fish, so, when the fisherman hauled In, the fish wltb the hook caught In his gul let, would keep the crude fishhook company. Around the lakes of Switzerland scientists have found various kinds of hooks considerably later than those crude relics from France. Many of the Swiss hooks are of bronze, some having barbs, but the really ancient ones were barbless and consisted of two hooks at right angles to each othe'r- Cut Flowers Arranged , , . xpresg Sentiment There is romance in me arrange- i mt , flowpr9.

It Is caused by a microscopic parasite thut affects especially the liver and ceca (blind pouches of the Intestines) of birds from six weeks to four months of a;'. Older turkeys or chickens, however, are not Immune to the trouUe. Chick ens may be a source of Infection and not show signs of the disease. The term "blackhead" Is misleading, as any disease which causes a de crease In the oxygen supply of the blood may cause the hea ' to become darkened In color. The characteristic symptoms are drowsiness, a tendency to lag behind the flock, loss of ap petite, diarrhea and sulphur-colored droppings. The dark color of the head Is common, but It Is not always a reliable diagnostic symptom, as It may be the result of some other trouble. As the disease progresses the feathers become ruffled, the ' wings droop and general debility Is noticed. Usually, several poults are stricken at once. Treatment for blackhead Is of little value. The hope Is for prevention. Remove birds to new quarters and see that drinking and feeding vessels re thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Sick birds should be killed and burned or burled deeply. A treatment which is advised by some Is as follows: For ench 20 birds give two teaspoonfuls of powdered ipecac mixed in a mash, twice u week until the poults are three months of age, then reduce the dosage one-hftlf and give once each 10 days until the birds are ready for market. Hens Relish Succulence in Potatoes and Apples Raw potatoes and apples are relished by the hens and add succulence to the ration. However, a balanced dry mash should be used at the aame time to encourage egg production. Melon leaves and vines are rather tough and not usually eaten by the hens when they have access to other green feed. A clover pasture or the succulent leave of swlss chard will be much better. Cull radishes, and the leaves will be picked over by the hens. They like the roots but do not relish the tough leaves. Other grasses and green feed are better, poultry feed. Much depends on the nualltv of the. Doultrv ranee. Hens In small ylrds will seem to like certain tough leaves that they will never touch If more tender and succu lent green feed Is available. 2 Hints on Care of Eggs Provide plenty of clean nests for the laying hens. Gather eggs .twice a day. Keep the eggs In a cool, fairly dry place. Keep out the cracked, dirty, small and very large eggs for home use. Never wash eggs unless they are to be used Immediately by local trade. , Markel eggs frequently, at least once a week and preferably twice. Know the preferences of your market and strive to meet them. Orade your eggs for uniform ity in slxe, shape and color. Know the shipping requtre- : ments of express or railroad fd i 4 companies when you use their $ services. ' Use only sound, strong, stand s'! ard packages and pack the eggs i properly. ;i Remember quality is essential for best prices. 1J If you are selling through a ; satisfactory agency wfth which :! you have established a reputa tion for high quality, be very sure that you have secured a better outlet before you make a change. ! If you sell to local dealers, In sist upon their buying eggs on a "loss off" or quality basis. Farmers' Bulletin 1378. United States Department of Agricul- Poultry Notes Dispose of all old blrd.'f that have stopped laying. Do not sell early hatched pullets; they will mean winter eggs. Hens and pullets should be put Into coop and if they do not lay ship them to the produce dealer. Small, weak hens wth. long slim heads generally lack vigor and are usually short-time layers. Soft-shelled eggs may be caused by condiments. Spices often lead to trouble. . W. R. Hlnshaw, authority on poul try diseases at the Kansas Agricultural college, recomiriends cnlung of weak, inferior , birds, strict, sanitation and protection from -undue exposure as the most promising jneaus ct con trolling the epizootic among fowls.
