A medical discussion warns that poultry tuberculosis is chronic and highly contagious. It notes transmission via purchased infected eggs and infected birds, with bacilli in droppings and intestines spreading through yards. Prevention requires immediate extermination of the flock and thorough disinfection, with carcass burning to avoid human or animal infection.
The article explains trap nesting to tame layers, increase egg production, identify traits, and remove unproductive hens. It notes the trap nest provides a reliable basis for selecting birds and improving flock utility, and directs readers to Farmers’ Bulletin 622 for construction plans. It also describes desirable breeding birds with bright red combs, alert eyes, sturdy necks, straight legs, and clean plumage.
White shelled egg producers are best suited for egg production rather than meat. Key breeds include Leghorn, Minorca, Ancona, and Andalusian. These nonsister hens rarely go broody, so artificial incubation and brooding are commonly used when keeping these fowl.
The text outlines early chick feeding for three days using a mix of hard boiled egg and stale bread soaked in milk, with milk squeezed from the bread. After day three, feed may shift to commercial chick feed and old mouga, then wheat screenings or cracked corn.
Dorland, a junior partner, falls for Jeannette Cheronnet, a trapeze artist with a circus. Jeannette risks her life to save him from a dangerous animal cage, suffers severe injuries, and accepts marriage to Dorland to spare his family further trouble. The tragedy yields a hopeful future as Dorland’s mother vows to adopt Jeannette after divine blessing.
The piece explains the annual festival of the Sacred Tooth relic held every five years in Ceylon, detailing its guarded history from Buddha’s cremation to its journey through Sri Lanka and India, and noting official supervision by Buddhist and British authorities. It references the account in The Festival of the Tooth by F. Hellems.
In Washington at a dinner J Ogden Armour defended the meat packers and criticized opponents who misread or misinterpret statements. He contrasted views with a Monday school anecdote about a child recalling a Bible passage to explain innocence and understanding.
The passage proclaims thrift as the key to freedom from worry and poverty. It promises to remove the rainy day dread by enabling investment, advancement, and home ownership, urging readers to seize opportunities and build a foundation for their dreams.
Washington June 11 1915 Director General Walker D Hines weighs government aid to railroads to cover rising costs in labor steel coal and materials. He cites 400 3500 million needed in advances to rates and warns current controls risk railroad bankruptcies and broader financial upheaval.
The article discusses how reductions in material costs are offset by rising wages and higher coal and steel prices. It notes the Lane Wage Board's impact, an added 660 million in wages, and potential future wage boosts. Director General Lines argues rail transportation costs remain low versus other expenses, with American freight rates still among the lowest globally even after potential increases.
