Most heavy-breed pullets sport a all from about seven days.of age, vhile in many strains the cockerels how no signs of this for six weeks.

Supplied by the Collese at Agrlcultun University of Service. Heavy rains which have made 111 nois pastures" luxuriant this yea haye not ended the danger of whit snakeroot poisoning to! man and live stock during the coming fe months.

Even though pasture grass 1 abundant, animals may eat th leaves of the poisonous white snake root weed from time to time. Over stocked pastures, even If they an good ones. Increase the risks from the poisoning, which occurs ever year. Persons using dairy products meat of animals affected by "trem bles," as white snakeroot poisonin is known, may contract milk sick ness, an ailment which runs a course and has a high mortallt; rate. i Keeping live stock away from white snnkeroot and eradicating th weed from pastures and wood lot are the only sure ways of prevent ing the poisoning.

Treatments thu far developed are far from satis factory. TremetoJ Is the toxic agen in the plant and Is absorbed intc the animal's when the plan is eaten, according to Dr. Rober Graham, animal pathology an'd hygiene at the college. The plant Is a tall, slender per ennlal herb which usually grows In partially cleared woodlpts, swampy areas, shady. ravines and In groves along streams.

The greatest dange is through summer, until late in the fall. This Is especially true dur Ing dry years when pastures are short and dry. White snakeroot can be recognized by its broad ly oval leaves, set opposite each other and having sharply toothed or serrated, edges. The (non-poison ous varieties have narrower leaves. In small patches the weed Is.bes eradicated by pulling each plan by the roots.

In patches, proper cropping la the most satisfactory means-of eradication. iLlve stock should be kept out of pastures containing any of the weed. Weakness, loss of appetite, const! patlon and' a trembling of the vol untary muscles when the animal It forced to move are among the early symptoms of poisoning. When symptoms are observed; the stock should be taken from pasture and a reliable veterinarian called. The mmedlate attention of a physician should be given tb cases of milk slck'ness among humans.

Spring Tooth Implement Kills Out Quack Grass A new way to rout that old pest quack grass is by the use of the field tiller, an Implement equipped with spring teeth. The I method In 99 per cent effective. With thta Implement, tillage la started In as soon as quack grass lay or small grain Is removed from he field. The quack roots are none oo vigorous then. Without previous cultivation, the lller Is taken over the field, teeth et to dig about an Inch or two jeep.

In a few days, when-the field tarts to get green; the tiller goes iver It again, this time crosswise ind- with teeth sef an Inch or so leeper. This procedure Is contln- led until freezing weather arrives. iy which time the ground will have 3een stirred sir Inches deep or more. Freezing will destroy most the roots that haven't been killed jy that time. Then In spring go over the ground nee or twice more and It Is ready or planting.

They were mining on the San Joaquin river, and had not found any great wealth to spur them on. One day Charles looker, one of- their went out to hunt herbs medicine, and in his wanderings about he dislodged a boulder and uncovered a nugget which weighed fully 90 pounds, and was nearly Ipure gold. No other gold was to found near the place. i Tooker wanted to keep this won- klerful for himself Instead of sharing It with his comrades, lie concealed the nugget where It lay. and went back to.

camp with the herbs and without saying a word about his golden find. In spite of himself, he could not act exactly natural. He remained with the party for a month, trying to suspicion, but the spell of that great lump of gold was' on him, and the other men wondered what was ailing At last he could hear the suspense no longer. He had bought a mule from an Immigrant, and one night he took the animal to the place where the wonderful nugget lay, dug it out, loaded it on the mule, and set out for other parts. Two of the men' at his camp, who had been.suspicious of tions, had followed him.

They saw with bulging eyes the wonderful lump of last they knew what had been on his mind! They were justly resentful that he was trying to get away with the gold instead of sharing It as was agreed, but they were not quite sure what do, so they trailed on behind him. They followed all. night, and at daybreak they came up in time' to fight against a couple of outlaws who set upon Toofcer, hoping tb rob him of whatever treasure he might have. They succeeded, too, left Tooker and one of his former friends dead as ithey hurried away with the laden! burro. The other 1 man returned to camp, aroused his friends, and toid them the story.

Immediately they armed themselves and set out on tlje trail of the thieves, catching up with them as they were camped at night In ensuing fight two more of the Indlanans were killed, and one "of the outlaws. The remaining desperado hid the and escaped; he went to San Fran clpco and lay low. After six months, this man felt that It would be safe to go back for the nugget. Instead of making thje trip alone, for he tnew only too well the perils that lurked In wait for lone travelers In that rough country, he got'together a ps'rty for the purpose of retrlev- ng the gold, and they were to set out together. Two men in the expedition, however, who knew where monstrous nugget was burled, rode ahead, found the gold, loader' 'on a mule, and hurried off.

They baa a day and a half start on the rest of ttje party, so they took the stolen treasure 40 miles away to a small mining camp, buried it there, staked a claim over it, and went to work like honorable citizens and honest miners. For six weeks they kept up this pretense; at last, feeing that the trail was clear, they dug up the great lump of gold and wept their way. Where they went, and what became of them, we 'do not know. The next time the nugget was heard of, it was In the possession of phree miners, who joined a large mmigrant train and showed It to he! travelers. They found It, hejr said, In the Hot -Creek monn- alns of Nevada.
