Held of egg production. That there
is room for improvement in increased
egg yields.among the poultry flocks of
North Dakota cannot be questioned.
The average North Dakota hen lays
about sixty eggs a year. A knowl
edge of the means to increase that
yearly average should be the aim ot
every poultry raiser. This past year
the poorest laying hen in a pen of
twenty birds at the North Dakota Ex

eggs in 3tJ.j consecutive days. The

"Tin re re three general classes of
foods which fowls should have if the
best results are to be obtained. Taese
i are. tirst. grain feeds second, animal
food, and third, green food.
I "Grain Feeds—All of the well known
I cereals with t'he possible exception of
flax make good feeds fer poultry
Wheat is probably the best single
i grain feed, leaving cost out of con
sideration, we have, as it contains the
nutrients in a better balanced form
than the other grains. In wheat rais
ing districts it can well form one-half
the daily ration of hens. Corn is next
in value and importance as a food for
1 poultry. It is a cheaper feed than
wheat, tut it is too fattening unless
I fed with some care. It should be
ground or cracked for chicks but can
i %vhole to older birds. Fowls do
i: take readily to oats but it makes
is ry de?irable food if fed as a sup-
1
plement to corn. Barley is not as pal
atable grain for hens as the grains we
i have just mentioned, but when ground

i:..-ii Foods—AH fowls crave an
ijnal loo I of some sort and it must be
used to supplement the grain ration
if good result sare to be expected.
There are several forms in which this
may be supp'ied. The commercial
article called %eef scraps and green
I cut bone are in most common use.
While green cut one Is probably su
perior to beef scraps for actual feed
ittg is concerned, yet the dittculty of
I securing it, the labor involved in cut
ting the bone and the fact that it
i spoils easily does not make it a very
I satisfactory fee I. Skim milk is an
i excellent piotein food and can be fed
with profit. Kitchen scraps are also
a good source of animal food and
should be saved Mid fed to the hens.
The average flock of laying hens is
fed too little animal food, and while it
may seem an expensive policy to
jjurch se the commercial article, yet
i It will pay in dollars and cents, if used
i in a judicious manner.
"Gr en Feels—Under ordinary farm

fed In the form of a mash. The green
food, which hag previously been
steamed with hot water, is mixed with
the mash and also fed. At night the
feed consists of oats and corn fed In
the j.en litter as in the morning.
How Much to Feed—No absolute
rule can be laid down as to th%amount
of feed to give laying hens. A plan
which has been very satisfactory with
the station Hock is to feed one pint of
wheat to each pen of twenty hens in
the morning and one pint of oats
with all the corn on the cob they will
eat for the evening feed. At noon
they are given all the ma^h they will
eat up clean. As the gruin is meas
tired out to them and the amount Is
therefore somewhat arbitrary, the
birds are allowed to eat up all they
wi.nt of the mash. The mash thus
acts as a cu'ator on th-.* appetite of
tl:e birds. The fowls are forced to
scratch for the grain feeds thus givins
them the needed exercise, which is
conducive to an active existence. Good
judgment on the part of the fesder

Selection of Stcck.
Tre"d selection—No one hreo i of
fowls can be recommended as best for
North Dakota or any particular local
ity v.ithin the ft-.to. And yet. I be

sideration frrm the standpoint of eco
noir.fcnl production.
'Ccl-vtcn of Breeding Stock—Tht
coni~cn prrctice, as followed in th3
avcr ce frr.ry.rd. of usin^ the entire
fo k :s 1,reeling stock has little to
comr. end it. Eggs from all cf th?
Lird-, rood rnd poor alike, are used
fcr a'ching purposes. T.ie logical re
Eu't cf this practic? is that you bring
the f/.e, we'ght, health and stamina
of tr.e iro?eny down to a level with
ti e average specimen of your flock.
As far as Improvement in the flock is
concerred you remain either at a
staiuUt'll or else deterioration takes
pla'e. l'se no undersized, immature
or rnything but the most healthy
spe.ctiien in the breeding flock. Select
a breed that suits you and above all
don't mix the breeds. If you have a
grade flock and do not care to part
with it use pure-bred males of some
good breed each year and stick to that
breed. Be careful of too close In
breeding, and to the farmer whose
flock runs at large I would advise
against the use of cockerels of his own
breeding or the use of the same males
two years in succession. If these few
simple rules are observed you will
raise better fowls of greater stamina,
better health, larger size and increas
ed fecundity.
General Management.
No flocks of fowls will care for
themselves and produce a profit. The
personal equation enters largely into
the poultry business ami much of the
success of the poultryman depends on
care and attention to details. A de
votion to all phases of t.ie work is
essential to the best success. Piuictu
ality as regards the time of feeding
keeping the house properly ventilated i
and thus having the walls and ceilings
dry at. all times observing a rigid
cleanliness in the pens by placing
dropping boards under the roosts:
using ashes or sand on the dropping
board, thus absorbing all disagree
able odors so detrimental to the
health of closely housed fowls tnese
are some of the essential features of
successful poultry raising. An inva
sion of parasites, such as lice or mitea
must be continually guarded against..
If dust baths are provided and ordi
nary c'eanliness observed the healthy
hen will keep rid of body lice. A
yearly application of germicide on the
whole interior of the house with an
occasional one of kerosene on the
roosts and nests are excellent prevent
ives against lice and mites, in the
carrying out of all of these details the
paramount object of the caretaker
should be to .strive for the best health
and comfort of his fowls. They will
surely repay him in an overflowing
egg basket.

SHE WILL VISIT WILD COUNTRY
For the purixise of studying at close
range the practically unknown bird
and animal life which exists in the
dense forests of tropical South Ameri
ca, C. William P.eebe. curator of birds
in the Bronx Zoological Gardens, New
York and his wife, who Is also a
naturalist and who has accompanied
her husband on previous excursions
into little known lands, have started
on a new expedition which it is ex
pected will result in most important
contributions to existing scientific
knowledge.
The thick jungle In the forest of
British Guiana, which comparatively
few white men have penetrated, will
be the objective of the two travelers.
To reach this Mr. and Mrs. Be?be will
be obliged to ascend for a considerable
distance the Kssequibo'river, one'of
the largest and at the same time one
of the least known of the large rivers
of Northern South America.
With the exception of one English
man, v.-ho went up the river In 1840,
shooting right and left and collecting
the skins of the strange animals he
met with there, no scientist has ever
really explored the Essequlbo, end its
upper branches particularly, which
teem with wonderful tropical life of all
kinds, are virtually unknown. It is to
learn something of these marvels of
uature. as exemplified in the life of the
birds, animals, end reptiles of these
dense South American forest sections,
that Mr. and Mrs. Beebe are about to
undertake their Journey.
Taking passage aboard the steam
ship Korona. of the Quebec line, they
will go directly to Georgetown, the
principal city of British Guiana, where
they will secure the permission of the
governor to go into the interior. Thcdr
next step will he to engage a negro
cook and four South American Indian
guides familiar with tJie Essequibo
jungle. These Indians are numerous in
British Guiana and, although most of
them are in more or less of a wild
state, amd use poisoned arrows, they
ire perfectly friendly to white men
and make very acceptabie guides.
The ascent of the Ess«qulbo will be
made by the two naturalists and ex
plored in a sort of canor-like house or
tent boat. This they have already
practically engaged. It will bf about
five feet wide and from twenty to
twenty-five feet in length. At night
Mr. and Mrs. Beebe will sleep aboard
this narrow craft, while their cook and
the Indians will make themselves com
fortable ashore In hammocks swung
from the trees. The little expedition
will also be equipped with a small ca
noe for paddling up into creeks ami
other small streams.
It is Mr. Beebe's intention to spend
About a month In the Essequibo conn
try. He has not yet formed any def
finite plan as to just how far up the i
little known river he and his wife will
venture, but will be governed, he says,
entirely by circumstances as he finds
them when the actual journey into the
interior is begun.
"If we find a place suitable for mak
ing our observations and study within
a comparatively short distance of the
coast." said he, "we may stop there
and spend practically our whole time
in that vicinity. Again, we may go a
considerable way up the Essequibo."
Both because of the lack of time and
because of the fact that there are
many dangerous rapids in the upper
river which would necessitate their
carrying their boats around them, Mr.
Beebe said he hoped to find a locality
adapted to his purpose further down
stream. The character of British

Beebe Will Accompany Her Husband in Studying
Little known Regions of British Guiana.
Guiana was such, the forests approach
ing close to the settlements along the
coast, he added, that he believed h»
would be able to find almost if not
quite as great a variety of bird and an
imal life a few hundred miles up the
river as would be found nearer the
Essequibo's source.
"Our object in making this trip into
the South American forest," said Mr.
Beebe, "will be to study the birds and
animals in their living state in their
native environment. We may bring
home a few live birds, but that will be
i merely incidental to our main purpose,
i which will me to study the habits of the
living things we shall find in this
wonderful tropical country.
"Collecting has been done to death,
but comparatively little progress has
been made toward studying the life
and habits of the birds and other re
markab'.e living things which exist in
this part of South America.
"We shall try to get what light we
can on such problems as those of why
certain birds have certain colorings
and why the toucans have big bills, all
I of which has been a question of evolu
tion."
Mr. Beebe declared he does not con
sider that he will be incurring any
thing worth speaking of in making his
expedition.
"If there was any danger, I wonldn't
be very likely to take my wife with
me." said he.
The two naturalists probably will
return to New "York in about, two
months.
THE AUT hp GARGLING.
Not the Same "t ,.i. as the Process
Usually Followed.
The proper method of gargling is
thus described by a writer In the Med
ical Record:
"The patient (at first under the guid
ance cf the physician) should sit well
back in a chair, take a swallow of
water in the mouth and bend the head
as far back as possible.
"Now he must protrude the tongue
from the mouth (the tip of the tongue
miy be grasped with a handkerchief)
and in this posture with protruding
tongue he must try to swallow the
water. The physician should control
the patient's vain efforts—for it is im
jjosslble to swallow under such condi
tions.
"The patient has the sensation as if
he actually had swallowed the water.
Now he must start to gargle, to ex
bale air slowly. One can see plainly
the bubbling of the fluid to the wide
open phar\nx.
After gargling thus for awhile the
patient is ordered to close ihe mouth
and quickly throw head and body for-'

through the choanoe and nostrils,
washing the throat and nose from be

great force.
"This should be repeated several
times, as the first trial is not always
successful and satisfactory. It Is an
act that must be learned.
"When properly executed the sensa
tion, as the patient will assure you. is
that of great relief not had by any oth

practitioner to try the method first on
himself. Kven small children who are

The method of doing business is
sell the goods on credit to the women
who are the principal traders of tb«

smaller quantities. For instance, the
woman trader will come along an i
purchase one barrel or ten barrels of
flour. This will be taken to her hu'
where she will peddle out the flour i i
smaller quantities, her principal cu!
tomors being the native bakers, who
are also women.
