MEDICINAL PLANTS

E. G. in the Weekly Cape Times,

South Africa, describes some of the fruits and flowers to be found in the Public Gardens of Cape Town. He says "there are some who visit the garden for the healing virtues of tree or root." and he gives the following de» scriptlon of some useful medicinal plants and of some thai. are dan- gsf‘0\lil.

"For example, here is a small tree

with a light-green leaf. known to the jealous fraternity of botanists, who lock up their secrets under pedantic labels, as the “Cutba. Edula." The leaves of this tree at one time disap- peared as though a legion of caterpil- lars emerged in the night to browse and then mysteriously vanished. One dayau Arab was found plucking the leaves. stuffing some of them into his -blouse, others into his mouth, He was taken to the Police Court, and the first thing he did, when the leaves were ex- posed as an "exhibit" of the crime

was to snatch them up and illl his_

mouth. "Mad," said the police. “Not mad," said the prosecutor, and the Arab was fined 10s.~ and told if he re- quired the leaves he was to ask. when he would receive a due allowance pro- vided be explained their use. The Arab explained that the leaves were a good medicine for stomach complaints and they gave immunity from dis- ease, and served also to keep the sen- try‘ot\ his post wakeful. Evidently the very stuff for the trenches, The Catha

as the Sauseria to botanists and 'iii the Snake Leaf to farmers in the coast lands. where it grows thickly. The root of this plant is taken, bruised and used for piles. Urgent requests for it are made from officials who have lived In the Trenskei.

Then there is an Agave. which is in

certain request as a cure for rheuma- tism. A poultice is placed on the skin over the affected part_ and raises a blister to begin with. The Paper Tree also has its votarles among the Ma- laya, who strip off the outer bark till they expose a flue silk and elastic lay- er, which they strip off to use for cov- ering sores or wounds. Another blist- ering juice is obtained from the Baunt and fluted Euphorbia. which wecps white when it is pierced. This white milk would take -the bristles off a wire-hair brush, and it is so hot that when .assoinetimes happens, a swarm oi wiid bees build honeycomhs in the hollow of the_tree the honey is like ure to th_e throat.

HOW T0 ROAST A CHICKEN '

A young. tender chicken needs to

roost about twenty minutes to the pound. lf the chicken is tough, cover the bottom of the roasting pau with water and let the chicken steam for about an hour. Then let it roast in a hot oven-till tender. - . Fill' f°“\ios. the chicken is first

stuffed with dressing, then dredged with flour and put -into a hot roasting pan. Pour a little hot _water in the bottom or the pan. Bsste the chicken if frequent intervals beginning after the chicken has been in the oven about half an hour. -

A few slices of bacon. or a little but-

ler or chicken fat, placed on top of the chicken while roasting improve Its flavor. ‘

DRESSING FOR ROAST CHICKEN

Stale bread _ 2 tablespoons butter 2 cups bread crumbs 1 onion cut in small pieces 1 teaspoon salt

‘A teaspoon pepper

‘liz teaspoon celery salt.

Soak the bread in cold water. Steam

the -onions in the butter for flflve min- utes. Squeeze tbe bread out in a piece of cheese cloth, Mix with onions, add seasoning and fill the cavity in the chicken with the mixture. Sew the opening together, or fasten with scewers.

The liver, chopped fine, is a good ad-

dition to dressing. If you want to use the liver elsewhere, an egg will add flavor and richness, or chopped ap- ples, or cbestnuts, previously cooked soft, will improve the flavor.

CARRIER PIGEONS-

» ARE USED AS SPIES

A harmless appearing pleon flying

over the trenches may be an danger- ous to the safety of the army as the fastest scouting aeroplane. In the January Popular Science Monthly ap- pears a timely description of how the carrier pigeon often carries a tiny camera fastened to its breast, and how it takes 30 photographs during a flight of six miles.

“Last of all,” says the writer “in

the revival of methods and instru- ments used in the warfares of medieval times and even of an- tiquity comeg word that pigeons, the carriers of intelligence in times of stress in remote eras, are used as pho- tographs of the positions of the enemy. lt is a strange medley, the airship, the last, and most daring in- vention of man‘s brain, rising in the early dawn to search out and photo- graph tbe foe's movements, and the graceful pigeon, so .frequently men- tioned in the stories of early days. soaring, perhaps nt the same moment

“But modern ingenuity has added,

something to the elder roles of the

Whether the allies have tried the same means of getting photographs of German en- trenchments and troops is a matter of conjecture.

FEEDING I-IEN8 BY LAMPLIGHT

_ _.__

"I have rgbiie a little _advance in

Poultry foo ,s for winter eggs with Plymouth Rock hens thatbas not P09!! ' told before _that I ln'to'w_of." writes James ll. Bellamy, Kleegkeyyshi Seek-. in the Nor'-West Farmer. "One cause of failure to get winter eggs is the shortness of time that hens have for feeding in December and January. lhave tried warming the house, and saw artificial boa; tried with poor suc- cess. Now. l have taught my hens to feed by lampllght, both night and moflllllg. i_n,a. cold house that frezes the eggs. This proves that the length °f f9BCI|llZ time is the cause. I em setting 1 sood supply or eggs since December 10th.”

Tl-IE FARM FLOCK IN WINTER

On a few farms there is a liberal

supply of fresh eggs daily, but on the majority of farms, the complaint is made that the hens will not lay dur- ing the winter months. There is no particular breed that refuses to lay. but all come in for condemnation. If a few farmers can secure the much- prized hen fruit the year round, and especially when prices are high, why cannot all do the same? Yet, the same breed of fowl has been kept in the same style of pen and fed the same rations by two men living not over twenty rods apart, and the one flock was laying while the other was idle. The reason is hard to account for.

If eggs can be produced anywhere it

should be on the farm, where every facility is present for rearing strong, healthy birds. and me feeds grown to give a ration suitable for egg produc- tion. If the chicks are hatched the last of April or the first of May. they should be developed enough to com- mence laylng by November_ The hen is particular that her winter quarters are clean, well-ventilated, free from drafts, light, and dry. If a suitable pen is not already provided, there is fre- quently an .old building around that could be fixed up, at very little cost. to answer the requirements mention- ed. A cotton front appears to give the most satisfactory ventilation, and a window in the south end of the bulld- ing allows suflicient light, The ven- tilator in the roof is not satisfactory, us if allows the heat to escape with- out a complete change of air, conse- quently there is a clammy odor in the building. and a certain amount of dampness These conditions can be im- proves by closing the ventilator, and putting cotton on a. portion of the front. It does not make so much differ- ence what kind of a floor is put in the pen so long as it is dry. ln order to allow the hens as mlich floor space as

,pbsslble, a dropping board can be paced under the rosts, high enough from the floor to allow the hens room underneath to scratch. Where the dropping board is used it must be cleaned regularly.

A mistake frequently made..ls limit-

ing the fowl to one or two kinds of feed. Like everything else. they like a variety, and nowhere is this available to the extent it is on the farm. Wheat is considered the best all-round feed, but is not enough in itself. On every farm oats are grown, and yet few feed them to the hens, claiming the hull to be too thick. They may not be picked _up as readily as other grains, bu; if crushed just enough to show the white kernel, they are readily eaten and are almost equal to wheat for producing eggs. Com is a very good winter feed but is of too heating a nature to be fed to any extent during the summer. Buckwheat is also a good egg-produc- ing feed, but must be fed carefully, Green feed. as cabbage or roots,should enter into the daily ration. These are usually grown in abundance on the '-farm. but are often forgotten when feeding the hens. Another feed gener- ally available is clover leaves, which are exceptionally good for the birds. and can be fed either dry or steamed_ The city poutlry keeper often pays a good price for these things during the winter,” but where they cost the least their value is seldom recognized. Dur ing the summer the fowl pick up grit and shell when on free range, when winter comes and they are confined to closed quarters they have no means of securing the material to grind their feed, nor make shell, unless it is sup plied them by the feeder. Grit and oy ster shell should he before the birds all all the time. I; is surprising the quantity of shell the hens will eat once they start laying. Another feed found on most farms is skim-milk. this has a hlgh‘value, especially when sour- ed before feeding to the hens. lt takes tho place of beef scrap and serves as a drink

It is well known that a neglected heifer calf never makes the most proll- table dairy cow. The value of the call at birth depends largely on its hreeo- ing, but the feed and care is receives while young is an important factor in deciding its future usefulness.

Whether or not the calf is allowed to

run with the cow the first two or three days is a. matter of custom, but it should receive whole milk for the first two weeks at least, and then gradually be 'made accustomed to skim miJk.The change may he made at the rate of one pound per day, and increased until the calf is getting about fifteen pounds of skim-milk ped day. Many feeders fail to have their calves do well when fed on skim milk, and immediately decide that skim-milk is of little value as a n little meal ,ln the bottom of the pal-l after the milk is finished and keeping fresh meal and hay before the calf, it will soon learn to ent, After it has he- come accustomed to eating, only as much as it will clean up. should be fed. A calf six weeks old will usually eat fom onehalf to one pound of con- centrates per day. An important point' is to keep file feed box, pen and palls perfectly clean. With proper attention along with suitable grains and rough- age, a thrifty calf should gain from one-and-one-half to two pounds per day. The aim should not be fo fatten the calf, but to keep it in vigorous condi- tion, especially when being raised for dairy purposes.

if the calf is dropped in the fall it

will be best to keep it in the stable or padlock all summer in order that iii may receive attention. As a yearling, the best winter quarters will be to run a number of them loose in a large box stall or sheltered shed. It need not be too warm. as nature will supply them with a coat of 'hair sufficient to keep them warm. Slings. roots and good clover hay, with a little salt and plenty of water. will bring them thro- ugh tlle winter in frlme condition. The hoifers should be bred to drop their first calf at: about thirty months of age ,and then -milked as near the full year as possible, it being claimed chat a helfer that is only milked seven or eight monfihs the first location period will have a tendency to go dry in suc- ceeding years after milking about that length of time. »

It Is a good plan. to frequently handle

the beifer before she freshens tfhe first time. Less trouble will then be ex- perienced in getting her accustomed to being milked. As the dairy animal is more or less of a nervous disposa- i.ion, kindness at all times is essential if the highest returns are to be secur- ed. The cow will also givefn. larger flow of milk throughout the year if fed and milked atlfregular inf,‘ervals_.

INDIVIDUAL COW RECORDS

On practically every farm a few

milk cows are kept, ranging from two or three on one undred acres in some sections, to ten, fifteen or even twen- ty-ilvo in o. dairy section. These cows are milked morning and night by dif- ferent members of the family. and the milk disposed of. ln less than one per cent. is the individuality of the cows known. But,»a set of spring scales, and one-half minute of time per cow night and morning will tell-'-ex- actly what each cow is doing per day, month or year. The main reason given for not keeping dairy records is, "it's too much bother." This seems,a lame excuse when one considers the many advantages.

KNOW YOUR COW.

'1'he'keeping of dairy records has

revealed many high-producing cows in average herds, but there are many high producers yetto be discovered. and Chas, F. Whitley. of the Dairy Branch, urges the dalrymen to know their cows by the use of the individual record and Babcock test. The labor re- quired fer this work is not great. but the results are o. weeding out of infer- ior cows and a gradual filllngpf the stables with cows which pay good dividends. Every farmer was strong- ly advised to set a standard in milk and butter fat for his herd, and to get' rid of all cows tba.t_do not come up to the standard. lt has taken a long time to impress on many of the dairymen, the value of keeping records, but the experience of those who have profited is having a. leavening effect. and the number of converts. is increasing. A few figures taken from record sheets of dairymen in the district proves the

'effectiveness of the work. The first

year's records of one herd of 10 cows showed a variation from 5965 lbs. of milk and 197 lbs. of fat to 12,773 lbs.

ence of 6,888 lbs. of milk and 204 lbs. of fat between the best and the poorest; cows. Only the scales and tests could reveal this difference. The same re- cords showed tbat the owner, after two years of keeping records, increased the average for his herd by 2.151 lbs. of milk and 65 lbs. of fat per cow, thus bringing it up to 11.519 lbs. of milk per cow. Where each individualcow in the herd was known to be good, the aver- age could not be poor. Mr. Whitley also pointed out that a cow giving 9.- 519 lbs. of milk at u. cost of $60 for feed, would leave a profit oi' $44.70 at: the present price of milk, or 23 such cows would give a net return of $1,000 per year. _On the other hand, a man feeding cows giving only 4,490 lbs. of milk at a cost of $44.55 for feed would only have $3.84 for his work, conse- quently would have to keep 290 such cows to clear him $1,000. The best cows possible to secure were none too good to keep. True, the records them- selves would not make the cows pro- duce more, but the knowledge of what each cow was doing would be an in- spiration to the owner to weed out the poor cow and give the remainder more care and better feed. consequeptly lessening the labor without decreasing the profits.

A lively discussion regarding feed-

ing for records followed the address. Some men believed thai: by feeding feeds rich in protein. as cotton-seed meal. that the percentage of fat in the milk could be increased. it was point- ed out by Prof. Harcourt that a varia- tion in the percentage of fat might-be influenced for a short time by the con. dition of the anlmals.The flow of milk can be increased by feeding. but the percentage of fat was peculiar to the individual animal.
