Ancient Fossils Common in U. S.

United States Fertile Field for Paleontologists. Washington.—The discovery in Texas of the dorsal armor of a giant phytosaur, a crocodile-like creature which lived more than 50,000.000 years ago, emphasizes the fact that the United States is still a fertile field for paleofi-tologl.-ts seeking the fossils of prebis Lorie animals. Traces of many species of these- monsters have been found from time to time. Judging from the number of tracks found, the. dinosaur, or “terrible reptile.” seems to have been the most common in al) parts of the country. Reside the Connecticut river near Northampton are preserved dinosaur tracks said to be the most perfect ever found. Nearer New York, at Wood* bridge, N. J., dinosaur tracks were dis-

169 pounds, and between the heights of 63 and, 70 Inches. The greatest pulling, power was demonstrated by men in the heaviest weight class, between 160 and 169 pounds.' Men in the two heaviest ■ classes, 150 to 159 and 160 to 169 ; pounds. ■ tied as the most powerful , pushers.- In c:i< h of these weight groups the taller men proved to be ! the best pushers, with a force of 121 pounds, the record figure. In the ■ handgri-pping contest the tallest and heaviest men gave the n»>st powerful hand - grips, with a force of 1tN.48 pounds. But the o shortest men In the heaviest group were the most powerful lifters, lifting on an average 519.2 pounds. The men having the greatest lung power were found a : the shortest in Hie 15*1-159 pound class. Their lung force was measured at 154 mil- ’ limeters. So far as general strength went, ft was found that the taller .ten were for their weight the less strength they had on the average, and the shorter they were for their weight the stronger they were. This rule applied through practically all weight groups. As a rule heavy men were found to be stronger than men of a lighter weight. Men in the 63-64 inch class were found to be the strongest in the 129 129 pound class, as they, were 'n the next weight class. 13M39 pounds, and also in the 140-149 pound class. However, the tallest men in the ISO--159 pound class proved to be an exception to the general rule, for they were found to be the strongest. But the general again in the heaviest class. lfiO-169, pounds, where the shortest men wore the strongest. Lies are. half the time, due to fear.

The haunts of the dinosaur in New Jersey were first discovered, however, in 1858, and a mounted skeleton is in the State museum at Trenton. In the western states and in the Canadian province, of Alberto dinosaur bones have been most, frequently found and most easily excavated. Some huge tracks. 38 inches long, have been discovered in Colorado; and in Dinosaur canyon, near Flagstaff, Ariz., 300 tracks were found by one expedition. One of the largest skeletons of this beast was found in Utah in 1923—the diplOdocus of the species. This specimen, was 71 feet long and the pieces discovered weighed about 52.000 pounds. This creature is supposed to have lived 170,000,000 years ago.

[WIT SOME GOOD POINTS t IN POULTRY HOUSE % Ventilation One of Biggest Problems. Better Insulation has brought the greatest improvement of all to the poultry house, says Successful Farming. Insulation reduces the harmful effects of the extremes of cold and heat and makes the house more comfortable at all temperatures. The “straw loft" house became popular because it provided a cheap and efficient roof insulation, a point largely neglected in the earlier houses. The half-monitor type of house was never very successful because it lacked insulation in the roof and was consequently a cold, damp house in winter and a hot one in the summer. Many of these monitor houses have been greatly improved by the addition of a straw ceiling. A similar insulating effect can be secured by some of the insulating boards now on the market. - Ventilation is another important problem in poultry house construction because of its effect on dampness and the inside temperature. The only way to remove the excess moisture in the house is by ventilation or change of air. Air movement should be very slow, so that no draft of cold air is noticeable. In the average run of farm poultry houses the hens probably suffer more in severe cold weather due to too much ventilation father than too little. Both the Nebraska and lowa experiment stations have found that hens show no harmful effect from tightly closed quarters during the winter. While neither of these stations recommend a tightly closed poultry house, their findings indicate the Importance of air purity may have been overemphasized in the past. Break Up Broodiness by Feeding Better Rations "Broody hens should be cooped the first night they stay on the nest, as any delay will increase the brooding period.” says Miss Gora Cooke, extension poultry specialist, Minnesota L niversity farm. “In breaking up broodiness, the sane way is give the hens humane treatment and feed them well, so as to get= them back to laying as soon as possible. z "The case is one for hospital treatment. rather than punishment, such as starvation, or torture in solitary confinement." says Miss Cooke. "Build the hens up to laying by good feeding, instead of starving or scaring them out of broodiness. After all, what Is wanted are eggs. “Confine broody hens in a well-ven tilated slatted or netting coop, placed in the shade. Supply dry mash all the time in a feed trough, feed a moist mash once a day and feed scratch grain lightly. Under such treatment, hehs will soon go back to laying if caught the first night. "Don’t stop 'with this, however. Breeding broodiness out of the flock is better than treating birds for the ailment. Band a hen every time she goes broody. Omit from the breeding pen hens wearing such bands and in tima trouble from broodiness can be reduced tb a minimum.'’ Light Yolks Preferred Poultry producers find that many buyers In the large cities, especially the New York market, prefer eggs w-ith light-colored yolks, the. United States Department Os Agriculture says. Certain matefials such as&creen feed and yellow- corn produce dark yolks, but when eggs are candled it is often difficult to tell Xvhethe’- the dark yolk has been caused by feed or because the egg has been exposed to hOat. Thun, although br.vers prefer light yolks, In order to be on the safe side, dark yolks do not necessarily mean that the eggs are inferior In quality. Feeds such as white corn, wheat, buckwheat. and oats resultan eggs having light yolks. To be classed as a quality product, eggn must be uniform in color and size, and light yolks make them more desirable in many markets. Reducing Tuberculosis In one county of South Dakota where practically all the flocks In two townships were tuberculin testefl only 1 per cent of the pullets reacted whereas 33 per cent of the birds over two years old reacted. This would Indicate that If a farm flock Is infested and the practice is followed of disposing of all birds at the end of the first year of ecg production, that In itself would reduce very greatly rhe losses from this disease.—Successful Farming. Chicken Mites Where small mites are abundant, clean out the house, removing and burning old nesting materials. Then spray the entire house with coal oil or a mixture of equal parts Os coal oil and crank case oil. Be careful to force the spray Into cracks. This pest nttacks the 'birds at night and hides during the day. One thorough cleaning up and spraying of the house will usually get rid of the pest. In case it doesn’t, repeat the treatment in ten days.—Missouri Farmer. Controls Body Lice Dipping birds in a solution containing one ounce of sodium fluoride to one gallon of water is satisfactory for combating body lice on chickens. The birds should be completely immersed and backward through the liquid. * ■ - • . Painting the top of the roosts with nictone sulfate about 1% hoqrs before the birds go to roost is pJso effective. The warmth of the chicken's body releases free nicotine and the fumes kill the pests.

STAGE COACH TALES E. C. TAYLOR:i From Stage Driver to Cabinet JEREMIAH M. RUSK, who later became governor of Wisconsin and still later was first secretary of agriculture of the United States, was a picturesque stage coach driver of the early days in Wisconsin. Almost a giant in stature, and heavily bearded, he was a leading personality in the state even when he was handling the reins behind two or three span of horses over the bumpy, marshy road’s of that new commonwealth. ' » Tales of his muscular prowess in those early days made him fafhous, but his chief claim to fame, wise, was that he probably was Hie only stage coach driver-who did not drink. Drivers as a lot were mofal men, noted for their integrity, and famous for their seeming aversion or swearing and cursing. But with the exception .of Rusk, -all of whom there are any records, drank. A man’s size glass of whisky or brandy was the first thing they asked for when the Coach stopped at the taverns along the route, and in winter, when , they descended half frozen from their high seats where they had been fighting gales and icy temperatures for hours, it probably was needed to get their blood circulating again. But Rusk never tooli a drop, even after a long stretch. of driving through the bitterest cold, lie was one of the eaCly ardent prohibitionists. As Rusk's Stage coach neared Viroqua one day, a horse fell ill. Rusk saw that it‘could not pull its share of the coach any longer, so he tied It to the coach, seized the neckyoke himself and with his great strength helped to pull the coach into the next town. ’ ' ~ • Rusk was reticent about his physical prowess, and was almost bashful when anyone mentioned it, but he often told a story on himself about how- he, a teetotaler, had buy drinks for a tavernful of people. One cold day, he stopped his stage coach at a tavern near Prairie du Chien, Wis.. so the passengers might warm themselves. When they all trooped into the public room. Rusk noticed an Innocent looking horn on the counter. The young driver was invited to blow it. He did. But instead of musical notes, there issued from the horn a quantity of flour that covered his face. Everybody laughed, and Rusk had to “sot them up" for every one in the place. Rusk began driving a stage coach when he was only sixteen years old. He drovO for McNeill,- Moore and company, famous stage coach operators of Columbus, Ohio. He migrated to Wisconsin in IS53‘, and drove coaches there until the Civil war broke out. Rusk raised a regiment of volunteers and was commissioned a major in the Union army. He took part in the battle of Vicksburg, and in August, 1863, was promoted to lieutenant colonel. ■" He was with Sherman in the Meridian campaign, and displayed such great gallantry in the battles around Atlanta; Ga., that he was breveted a brigadier general. After the Civil war, he went back to' Wisconsin, where he entered politics. He was elected a member of Congress in 1871. and served in the national house -of representatlives until 1577. In 1882, Rusk was elected governor of Wisconsin, and was cont-infled in that office until 1889. In the latter, year President Harrison appointed Rusk to his cabinet, and the tall former stage coach driver became the nation’s first secretary of ■agricuiture, a branch of tlie executive department of the federal government which congress had just created. He served in Harrison’s cabinet until Grover Cleveland succeeded Harrison in the Presidency in 1593. ((E). 1531. Western Newsnaner Union.) Birds* Songs Tell Time Clocks are not necessary to give the time in the morning if one understands the songs of the birds, according to a German naturalist who has just completed a schedule of offerings by feathered songsters. He says the chaffinch sings at ( about 1:30 on summer mornings and the backcap calls an hour later. Between 2:3tl and, 3 o’clock the quail give their call, while .the hedge sparrows are heard about 30 minutes later. The-blackbirds are next, followed by larks, the black-headed titmouse. and finally the sparrows start between 5 and 5:30. _ * /, Lincoln Mementoei The original plaster casts of the face and hands of Abraham Lincoln and also the first bronge casts of the face mold and of the hands were presented to the National museum on January 2a, 1888, by a- committee comprised of the late Augustus SaintGaudens, Thomas B.
