BIG ANCIENT STATUE IS FOUND Alexander the Great in Sculpture Unearthed in African Town. Libya, in Africa, again has given an ancient piece of sculpture to the world. At Cyrene. once the principal city of ancient Cyrenaica, a dossal statue of Alexander the Great, lacking only a part of the right forearm, has oeen excavated. It is a magnificent marble copy of the celebrated bronxe of Alexander by Lysippus, which is known only by the copies of It on coins, the original having been destroyed. The statue probably was made fifty or sixty years after the original, in the third or fourth century before Christ. It Is larger than life and represents Alexander, entirely nude, standing, looking upward, with his right arm outstretched and his left holding a spear, on which he is leaning.

Identification of Good Layers

A method has recently been discovered by our experiment stations which makes the selection of poor layers a comparatively easy ntalter. Briefly, it has been found that fowls of yellow legged breeds will draw heavily on the yellow coloring matter in beaks and shanks when laying, so that such hens, after a period of heavy laying, will almost invariably be found to have pale beaks and shanks. The hens that are not laying on the contrary, will have as yellow legs at the end of the laying season as at the beginning. So all we have to do now, in order to select the beel and most profitable layers in the flock is to pick out those wdth faded beaks and legs. Of course a little judgment can be us»d with good results in this meth od. Hens with beaks and shanks that are naturally pale or white are not necessarily good layers just on that account. Also, confinement on bare ground or under other unfavorable conditions will cause pale shanks whether the hens are laying or not. But the fact remains that at this season of the year, with the average farm flock, when you have taken out the hens with pale bills and shanks you will have about all the good lay ers. In addition to this look the bird-i over for baggy abdomens, sluggish and overfat individuals, those that are too thin to be in the best of health and all that show any symptoms of disease of any nature, and get rid of them no matter what the color of their legs may he. or whether they have any legs at all. For next year’s flock you will want pullets mostly, and there is a chance to cull these over, loo, and cut out the poor producers before you start into the winter with them. It Is known that the early maturing pullets are almost always the best layers. That means that if you keep an eye on these birds as they come to maturity and mark the first that lay yon will soon be able to cull out the late maturing, poor laying ones that eat up the profits made by the really good producers. Remember this does not mean that a slow maturing, Marchhatched pullet that comes into layin. ahead of a June hatched bird will be the better layer. It means simply that the pullets hatched at any given time, whenever that time may be, the first layers are generally the best. FEED SUGGESTIONS

About two thirds of a full ration is required to keep a hen alive and if you feed only that much, not an eg*; will you get. To secure production you must feed a full ration; It Is always the last third that is the profitproducing part. This ought to make it plain that there is little chance of economizing on feed by reducing the amount because the first thing you cut off is the egg-producing part. It is true that fowls that have the freedom of the fields do not need as heavy feeding as whin they are kept in confinement, hut do not make the mistake of thinking that because they are running at large they are certainly getting plenty of food. Probably they are getting enough green food and grit, nnd maybe some grain and animal food, but the average farm flock Is underfed the year round. Tha-'. is one of the principle reasons why I he farm egg yield is only half of what it s*hould be. It Is po -ible, however to save a little by the proper selection of foods, | the exact choice depending on availability and on price In the W#st, where barley Is much cheaper than wheat, it Is fed quite successfully. Corn can be used freely, and good results ran be secured with no othei rrain If a rood ma.-h mixture is freely used, with plenty of meat scrap, and milk to drink. This may be rather dangerous advice to give in this section where there Is a tendency to rely almost entirely on corn, neverMieles'It will work out very well always provided that a good mash mixture is fed with it. But remember that it pays to add other grains when prices ate at all In reason. Wheat 'a the best grain to feed with corn bu. at present prices Is too expensive, of course, to be fed freely. Oat* can be substituted for wheat when price makes It an object, also buckwheat. In the mash, gluten feed can be substituted for oil meal and meat scrap and the latter may be omitted entirely when gluten feed is supplied In the mash and the fowds have plenty of milk to drink. In mixing the mash do not try to put anything over on the innocent hen by loading it with alfalfa, clover chaff, corn or oat hulls or other things that are “filling” but unnutrltlou*. Hens ran take care of only a limited amount of crude fibre and if you force them to eat more than a normal amount you simply reduce production and Injure the health of the birds. To sum up, reducing the feed bill is simply a matter of being sure that you are not feeding nonproductive fowls, and of seing to it that those you keep have plenty of food of the

right sort.

PAPER MONEY INSTEAD OF GOED

Change Shocks Old Timers of California, But Otherwise Will Work no Trouble. One of the Interesting results of the establishment of the new Federal reserve banks is the gradual disappearance from ordinary circulation lu the far west of, gold coin. The Pacific Coast tias been the only part of the United States in which gold coin in the pockets and hands of the people has been the regular medium of axchange. Jn other sections the gold has been In the banks and treasury and Has been represented in the pockets of the people by various forms of paper money. The custom of using gold in California was Inherited from the early gold mining days, when private mintage and even gold in an unrefined form was in common use. Aside from its practical advantages, western people have taken pride In maintaining a custom that distinguished their section from the rest of the country. Even during tile Civil M’ar and the years immediately following it, when the rest of the nation was on a depreciated paper standard, California remained on a gold standard and boasted of being the only -Race in the United States where either gold or silver was In general circulation. Notes and commercial obligations in California have always been payable in gold coin, the fact having been specified on legal papers of all kinds calling for the payment of money. The constant use of gold for large transactions and the absence of pennies have been characteristic of California. Since the start of the European war and the establishment of the Federal reserve banks, there has been a tendency on the part of the financial institutions to encourage the use of paper money and there Is more of this in circulation in the west than ever before. The new system being introduced merely enforces on the Pacific Coast the customs of the rest of the country and will do no harm, except to shock the sentiments of the old Californian who will look back with regret to the days when "hard money” was the sole medium of exchange in the golden West.

“ELECTRIC” TOWEL IS LATEST

Device Tried Out at Washington Does Work in 30 Seconds. The new municipal building at Washington, D. C., is equipped with “electro-towels,” devised by its superintendent, J. M. Ward. The electrotowel is simply an electric hand-dryer. It looks like a rectangular box with the front face knocked out and set on a pedestal which brings it about waist high. The box is large enough to acccr.iniodate an ordinary pair of hands. There is an electric heating device in the stand and a blower which forces the air through ducts Into the box on top. where the hands are held while drying. A lever operated by the foot turns the current of hot air into it and sets the blower at work. S nerintcM bnt Ward contends that as the lover is operated by the foot and the hands are merely extended into the box through the open trout they come into contact with no part of the device, and so the cporatlou is perfectly sanitary, it lakes thirty seconds to dry hands in this way.

FIND ANCIENT COIN IN KANSAS Gears Gust of Otirus, Pharaoh of Erjypt, 260 D. C. An Egyptian coin in use about 250 years before the birth of Christ is in the pocsi -slon of Rev. (J. L. Rurick, of Soottsville, Kan. It is a brass coin about a large us an American half dollar. The obverse side of the coin bears the bust of Oairus, Pharaoh of Egypt, who reigned 250 B. and was one of Egypt’s most beloved rulers. The reverse side bears a figure of the Sphinx, with the sun rising behind a row of pyramids in the background. Both sides bear various charactt rg and symbols. it was found about five years ago by Clarence Warmer while digging near" Lucas, Kan , and presented by him to Mr. Rurick. The coin is in good condition and was pronounced a genuine Egyptian coin of ancient date by Dr. Don Nichols of Philadelphia, an authority on Egyptian curios.

SUNSHINE A GERMICIDE j Tests Show that Gcrn-.s cf Disease Cannot Survive When Exposed to the Sun I Sunshine is an amazingly potent germicide for the farm housekeeper j and in the dairy and stables. The ' practice of exposing cooking and olh er utensils used in connection with I food to direct sunlight makes use of i ibis fact, although comparatively few appreciate exactly the work done by | the sun in this regard. Probably only thode who are acquainted with tests which have aetually been made realize how quickly sunshine kills disease germs exposed to it. Hence the following tests may be generally instructive and interesting. A pasty creamy mass of tuberculosis material, which was proved to contain uncountable numbers of virulent tubercle bacilli, was obtained from a tuberculous cow and spread In thin smooth translucent layers on sheets of glass, pieces of wood, and strips of muslin. Some of the sheets of glass, pieces of wood, and strips of muslin were then placed outdoors on a moderately warm, clear, calm day where the sun could shine on them, and an equal number were placed in a dark room. After 15 minutes exposure to the sun, the tuberculous material on the glass, wood, and muslin still contained large numbers of living virulent tubercle bacilli, which were proved to be fully capable of causing tuberculosis, but after 30 ninutes exposure to the sun no living tubercle bacilli could be found; every test that could be made proved that they were all dead. Similar tests with quite large opaque masses of tuberculous material, larger and denser than any tuberculous person is apt to expectorate, proved that the bacilli in such masses on glass are still alive after 4, but entirety dead in less than 8 hours, and still ulive in the material on wood and muslin after 2, but dead in less than 16 hours. The tuberculous material in thin layers on glass, wood, and muslin, kept in a dark room, was proved to contain fully virulent, living tubectle bacilli after 30 days. The contrast is remarkable, tubercle bacilli of the j same kind, on the same kind of Kin- : terial dying in a smaller number of * minutes in the sunshine than the number of days they remained alive in a dark room. As most varieties of disease germs are more easily destroyed by g-rmi-cides than tubercle bacilli, ami as tubercle bacilli in the thin layers in which they are likely to adhere tq clothing, blankets, rugs, draperies, furniture, walls, floors, etc., are kill ed by the rays of the sun in less that) half an hour, though they remain nine in dark places a month and longer, il ,s reasonable to draw the following conclusions: (a) As a general sanitary principle it is desirable that all dwellings, stables, etc., should be so constructed that an abundance of sunshine can roach their interiors. (b) As a general protective measure against disease germs, it is an excellent practice to expose utensils for handling milk, and milk cans after they have been cleaned, to direct sunlight, nnd to hang or spread wearing apparel, blankets, bedding, rug”, noise blankets, etc., periodically where tho sun can shine on all parts of them.

San Jose Scale. The fight against the San Jo.te scale can begin us soon as tha leave,; drop. The standard remedy Is limesulphur. A ready prepared foim of ibis mixture may lie hud of noodnieu or dealers or you can make it at home | by using the billowing feu inula: Slake twenty-two pounds of fresh lump limo in the vessel in which the mixture is to bo boiled, using only enough wate* I to covef the lime. Add ceventeen ‘ pounds of sulphur (flowers or powdered,) having previously mixed it in r paste with water. Then boif the mB»tun* for about an hour in ten gallof-v of water, using an iron (not a copper? vessel. Next add enough more water to make, in all, fifty gallons. Strain through wire seive or netting, and apply while mixture Is still warm. A good high pressure pump U essentlul to satisfactory work. For large high trees it ia necessaiy to have an extension rod, an extra length of hose, and an elevated platform built on the wagon upon which the operator can stand. Oftentimes each line of hose supplies a cluster of nozzles—two, or three, or even four; and for extensive work there may be several lines of hose running from the same pump, with an operator for each. Thus one man may he spraying the lower part of the tree from the ground while another man sprays the upper part of the tree from the tower. Motor goggles are a great help In protecting the eyes from the solution who* spraying.

Dangerous Hog Feeds Kitchen slops may ccntain wash powders that are made up of soap and Impure lye. They albo contain much indigestible waste and often contain scraps of uncooked meats and cholera virus. Kitchen slops may contain pot inafne* or poisonous product* found in decomposing organic matter. Uncooked meat in kitchen slops may contain tri-china or tapeworm cysts, and some times such slops may oontein dead mice or rats that may be infested with trichina or tapeworm cysts. Henoe kitchen slops or restaurant ov hotel slops are dangerous feeds for hugs.
