even before the period of the Az

New Mexico was densely populated by
a race well advanced in many of the
crude arts and industries, constant
warfare was carried on between fac

as is evidenced by the defensive posi

In nearly every one of the ancient
communal buildings can be found
towers and lookouts, with small win

approaches. Usually the towers are a
part of the main building, but occas

The Famous Basilisk
A CCORDING to the ancient writers
3 the basilisk sometimes called
cockatrice was a monster to be great
ly dreaded. Its breath filled the air
with a deadly poison and burned Up
vegetation, and the glance of its eye
was fatal to both man and beast. The
only creature that could face it and
live, they said, was the cock and tra
velers were advised to take loud-enm-Ing
cocks with them as a protection
against the monster. So much for
superstition. As a matter of fact the
basilisk is a harmless lizard, living a

One of these remarkable structures
has been found in Navajo, Canyon
which is included within the Mesa
Verde National Park, in southwestern
Colorado. The tower still stands on
top of a sandstone cone about thirty
feet high ad is perfectly cylindrical.
By the aid of steps wcrn in the stone
it is possible to climb to the tower and
even to walk around it. The walls are
twenty four inches thick, and although
their original height is not known
those now in place are over nine feei
high. This tower, arising from the
bottom of the canyon to an elevation
above the surrounding rim, command

was undoubtedly the viewpoint from
which warnings of an approaching
enemy could be sent out to the Cliff

Summer Underclothing for Babies
: By Marianna Wheeler
Format Superintendent for Fifteen Years of tne 'Rthies' HotoiUl, NeT Yofk
3 the warm weather approaches
many letters come to me asking
questions such as these: Shall my
baby wear flannels during the sum
mer? Are woolen shirts and bands
necessary in warm weather? Is it
best for a baby to. weap, a petticoat in
summer, etc.? My answer to each
question is "yes." If you would keep
your babies well during the summer
keep them warm. Remebmer that lit
tle babies do not feel the heu- - dp
adults. They have much less strength
and vitality and very little of either
to spare; none must be wasted by
allowing their little bodies to became
chilled. Summer weather is variable;
young infants are more or less sus
ceptible to changes, even slight ones,
and unless the stpmach and intestines
are properly protected they are apt
to suffer.

fants in heavy flannels or an immod
erate amount of clothing in order to
keep them warm. Usually they do
not need additional heat, but what they
do not need is certain protection in or
der to prevent loss of heat and energy.
Fabrics composed entirely of cotton
or linen do not seem to possess heat
saving qualities; : in fact, they absorb
considerable heat from the body be
fore they become warm. Not so with
wool; it responds almost immediately
to the heat of the bdoy, and holds it.
The ideal material for infant's under
wear during "the summer is that
which is light in texture and contains
about one-third wool, mixed with cot
ton or silk. Cold extremities are pro
ductive of indigestion and colic, and
they are very uncomfortable to a
baby at any season of the year. A
baby's legs should be protected by a
flannel skirt and the tiny feet en
cased in stockings or bootees.

We went through all o,ur back num

Since then, every special day maga

careful not to cut a piece out if it cuts
into a story or helpful article, but copy
instead. The children do the work
of this themselves. ;But I, too, keep
a book, for I've cut or copied pieces
that will do for later years, which

"To the whispering pines and glossy
leaved, orchard trees, the murmur of
clear streams and the love-songs of
birds; to the voice sweeter than. any
other, whose lullabys stilled my fret
fulriess in infancy and taught me 'my

I
know many people who increase
their income in a moderate way by
selling eggs and chickens to to their
grocer and butcher, but few realize the
immense advantage to be gained by
taking up some of the special branches
of this many-sided business. The farm
wife thinks she is doing well if she
gets a reasonable price for eggs and
table birds, yet a little extra trouble,
and the exercise of a little business
ability, will make every egg and every
pound of flesh bring a top-notch price.
Of course, to realize the highest prices,
stock and methods must be high-class.
The first consideration is to select a
breed and stick to it, for that is the
only way to gain success. Few people
can afford to buy prize winners at first,
but everybody ought to afford good,
pure bred stock. Every large poultry
plant has what it terms "market stock"
for sale, at reasonable prices: birds
that can be bought for a dollar and a
dollar and a half each. They are the
progeny of high class stock, but ; do
not come up to showroom standard.
Ten birdj would give you quite a lot
of eggs for hatching. Save the pulets,
save out the very best, and the 'fol
lowing year buy one or two (according'
to the number of pullets youhave)
really good roosters to run with- them,
and you will be able to raise young
sters the next season that can com
pete for blue ribbons at your state fair,
and gain the prestige which will 'en
able you to sell their eggs at two or
three dollars , a setting, and the pick
of the young stock next season for
from two tfe flye dollars apiece. I say

it is necessary to pay some attention
to the culinary end ot the business,
but you can still work on the higher
plane, as it is the most profitable.
Thorough bred birds are almost as ne
cessary for the marketing branch of
the business as for the other. Of
course they develop more quickly than
mongrels, fatten more easily, and. look
better when dressed.
It has not yet become the general
market custom in this country to draw
and truss birds at once, but private
customers will quickly appreciate the
improvement in flavor that immediate
attention to cleanliness makes, and
before long, I firmly believe, the pre
sent custom of keeping and shipping
undrawn birds will be condemned by
the authorities. When birds are go
ing to customers, instead of being sent
in a sprawling condition they are truss
ed as for roasting, leaving a piece of
charcoar- inside to insure perfect
sweetness. ..
O
: We have coops six feet long Jby two
and a half - wide, with yards f six by
ten, into which from five Jx ten birds
are placed three weeks before killings
Fowls of a year old, when properly
prepared, make good roasters; taken
from the general yard they are tough
and fit only for- soup. Cockerels of
ten or twelve weeks old Will, by spe'eial
fattening and inactivity, become plump
very quickly. The roost in the ;oop is
only a foot from the floor; yard and
floor of coop are of firmly trampled
ear i, with no loose gravel, sand or
scratching material of any description,
the object being to keep the birds as
placid as possible.

of ground feed, one-third of a teaspoon1
ful of salt, one pint of boiled and
mashed carrots, potatoes or beets, mix
ed and moistened with skim milk in
which beef suet has been boiled. One
half pound chopped fine is sufficient
for two quarts of milk. Simmer for
fifteen minutes. Feed in V-shaped
troughs as much as the birds will
eat in fifteen minutes. It must not be
allowed to stand before them conti
nually, or -they will become satiated.
It was an old Frenchman who gave
me the hint about suet, which is ex
cellent, making the flesh deliciously
tender and juicy.
After the fattening has been success
fully accomplished, correct killing and
dressing must follow, to insure excel
lence. Twenty-four hours before kill
ing, birds are removed to individual
coops, a foot and a half square, with
wire netting sides, floor of slats half
an inch apart, and legs two feet high
The open flooring and elevated posi
tion allow the droppings to fall
through, and out-of the birds' reach.
For twelve hours they have milk be
forej them all the time, but no food;
last twelve 'hours, nothing but water,
to insure the crop being empty.
For such trade scalding is not per
missible. The birds must be killed
with a narrow, sharp pointed knife
Stab in the roof of the mouth, and dry
pick bdfore the flesh is cold.
There are many ways of getting in
touch with private customers. One is
to put an advertisement in the local
paper. Another is to have several
cards ten inches square printed, and
get some of the stores in your ton
to hang them up. Strange as it may
seem, millinery and fancy work es
tablishments are among the best
places for such cards, as women are
sure to see them.
