Cobb Unnblo To Get Sal mon or l'ort Hock "Sandlappcr," Hut Believes Last Survivors of Hun Boar Ijocntcti. Boliet that tho lava bear, or "sand Tapper," Inhabiting tho lava (lows lu tho Fort Uock country, may prove to bo tho sun boar, supposed by scientists to have been extinct for tho past 1C years, was advanced on Monday by Irvln S. Cobb on hiB re turn to Bond aftor a week's trip which took hlmas far south as Crater lnko. Mr. Cobb was accompanied to Bond by N, O. Jacobson, formerly Buporvlaor of tho Deschutes National forest; Dr. Dudloy Uoborts of Now York, A. Whlsnant of Bend, and movio raon who aro filming tho nd vonturcs of tho short story writer and humorist. A fow spoclmcns of tho lava bear havo been killed or trapped, and a head, in a fair stnto of preservation, has been in Mr. Jacobson's posses sion for soma tluio. Ho presented tho trophy to Mr. Cobb tpday. Stan- ley Jewott, formerly of tho United States biological survey, who wns considered ono of tho greatest au thorities on tho animal lifo of tho Northwest, held tho belief that tho lava bear is a dwarf grizzly, found nowhere .ohm In tho world. May Bo Hun Boar. Mr. Cobb stated on Monday that ho believes a diminutive species of grizzly, found in tho Soven Doviis country in Idaho, and tho "sandlap per" of tho Fort" Rock valley to bo Identical, or least very closo relatives, and, incidentally, tho last survivors of tho sun bear, named by tho In dians bocauso of his habit of basking on tho lava flows. This species was formerly found throughout tho lava country of Oregon and California. Whllo no specimens of tho "sand- tapper" could bo obtained, orders wero left behind with trappers', who were instructed to tako one of tho lava bears alive, if possible. Ills pursuit of tho "sandlapper" and his theories regarding tho species will furnish tho material for an nrtlclo for tho weekly magazine for which Mr. Cobb writes. Ho hopes that the attention of tho Smithsonian insti tute may bo sufficiently aroused to start a inoro scientific investigation of tho subject than ho has been ablo to make. Will Hunt TuoMiay. Tho parly's last day out-before re turning to Bond was spent at Crater lake, whero unusually good fishing was found. Mr. Cobb modestly ad mitted catching the limit. He had plenty of timo for appreciation of the sconlc wonders through which ho passed, however, and declared the lake to bo ono of the most magnifi cent things ho had over soon, seen. On Tuesday morning Mr. Cobb and his companions started out again this timo under tho guidance of W. P. Vandovort, who Intents to show them some real sport in hurtling "man's sized" bears. They may be on the hunt for a weok, but their ox act destination is not bolng revealed. MICKIE SAYS: Vr Stk VRE TEWIVW "XO s-rwut AvotN TODvAvtzovrmtyzfl.' pXttTJOUVZS tU YARCW.V towo A.CAJW2TV3CS.

" ijo&tiacjc GIVE INCUBATORS BEST CAR Machines Should Be Cleaned and Dis infected Before Storing Away for the Winter. After the hatching season Is over, clean and disinfect tho Inctilmtors, empty the lamps nnd carefully store the parts In tho machine. Lamp con taining oil which nre left In their prop er plncoon tho Incubator for somo time after the hatching season Is over will causo trouble when It Is started ngaln, as the oil tends to work up Into tho hood. The Incubator should be disinfected once n year, or oftcner If any disease Is present In the bens or chickens, say poultry specialists of tho United Stntes department of agriculture. Somo operators prefer to disinfect Some Operators Disinfect Their Incu bators Before or After Each Hatch. their Incubators before or after each hntch. A 5 per cent solution of n re liable coal-tar disinfectant or carbolic ncld may be used to wash out thefnn chine and to disinfect tho egg trays and nursery drawer. If the burlap Is very dirty It may bo cheaper to renew than to clenn It. For nn Incubator of about three cu bic feet capacity one may pour one half ounce of formalin, which contnlns 40 per cent formaldehyde, on one-half ounce of permanganate of potash In n pan In the Incubator, which produces n very penetrating gas nnd thoroughly disinfects the machine. The door of the incubator should bo closed Just as soon .as the liquid Is poured Into the pan nnd left closed for twelve hours or longer. Incubators should be well aired before they aro used after disin fecting, ospeclnlly when formalde hyde or nuy disinfectant which pro duces n gns has been used. SUPPLY. OF GRAIN FOR HENS Fowls Will Consume More Food In Spring Than In Fall Amount Varies With Breeds. The feeder must use his own Judg ment In deciding how much grain to give the hens, ns the amount of feed which they will cat varies with dif ferent pens nnd at different seasons of the year. They will eat more feed In the .spring whllo laying heavily than the summer and fall when laying fewer eggs. A fair general estlrnnto Is about ono quart of scratch grains nnd on equal weight of tnnsh (about one and n half quarts) daily to l.'i hens of tho gen eral purpose breeds, such ns the Ply mouth Hocks, Illiodo Island Beds, or Wynndottes. or to 10 hens of the small er or egg breeds. This would be about seven and a half .pounds each of scratch grains nnd of runsh dally to 100 Leghorns and about nine nnd n halt pounds of each to 100 general purpose fowls. If liens have free rnngo or largo yards containing green feed n general purpose hen will cat about 73 pounds of feed In a year nnd s Leghorn will eat about 63 pounds, In addition to the green stuff consumed, It has been found In experiments con ducted on the government poultry farm. RID FLOCKS OF ALL VERMIN Regular Attention and Proper Treat- ment Will Prevent Troublesome Lice and Mites. It Is absolutely unnecessary for poul try to bo seriously troubled by either lice or mites. Begulnr attention and proper treatment of the quarters will rid tho flock of mites, nnd If body lice nre found the birds should be trented. for these also. Usually If a place Is provided where the liens enn dust themselves they will keep the llco In check. LOUSY FLOCK UNPROFITABLE Lice Are Detrimental Because of Irri tation Caused by Crawling About and Gnawing- True bird lice of tho order Mnllo phnga never feed upon the blood of their host but feed upon exudations from tho skin, Qpldermnl scales, bits of feathers and hair. They aro detri mental to the" host by causing Irrita tion due to crawling about nnd their gnawing habit. A "lousy" flock of chickens Is uot a profitable Investment.

I come aboard tho transport reviling my luck, says Hubert Palfrey Utter In the llovlow. My locker nnd bed roll were lu France nnd I had neg lected to hid them good-hy; I hud nothing but musette nnd kit bag, In which I had been living for n mouth. The limping old Mmljckccwls was tho shabbiest tub In the service, slow, de void of comfort. Her engines took n day oft every week. Her smoking room wns given over to clacking type writers which manufactured colored tissue paper orders for the decoration of the main compaulonwny. The white-niid-gohl music room was no place for one who was constitutionally unnhle to derive solace from craps or poker. But when I discovered that tho'shlp's library had survived tho ravages of wnr, I begun to see the hand of provi dence As I reviewed the backs of tho 50-odd most respectable volumes lu tough brown cnlf, my locker and bed roll "fell from my back und begnn to tumble, nnd so continued to do" till 1 thought of them no more.

WILL BE BOON TO INVALID Independence, Comfort, and Exercise All Provided In New Chair Pro pelled by Electricity. A new era of Independence, comfort nnd excrcloe Is promised to Invalids In nn electrically-propelled chair that is now being made by n Arm pf surgi cal engineers In London. In appearance It Is llttlo tnoro than a very comfortable, luxuriously-suspended hnth chair or Invnlld's car riage. Tho propulsive motion Is elec tricity. It Is silent, travels a distance of over twenty miles on a single charge and has four speeds, ranging from a crawl up to flvo mllca per hour. The control is said to bo so sim ple that any person, no matter with what disabilities, can sit in tho car riage nnd stnrt right nwuy, and It Is fitted with reverse on nil speeds. It Is only tiecewnry to hold the steer ing lever with tho left hand nnd gent ly push over tho controller handle with the right linnd. The uw of tho cnrrlngu renders nn Invalid Independ ent of chair man or nttendant, and tho cost of upkeep is snld to be trivial. Irish Travel Stops. The tourist resorts of Irelandthe Lakes of Klllarney nnd GlengnrrlfT have suffered greatly during tho wnt nnd tho resumption of normal condi tions, with freedom of travel for plons ure, will bo required to bring bnck their old-time prosperity. So Queens town nnd, to a smaller degree, the city of Cork has been affected by the entire cessation of the extensive pas senger trnfllc to nnd from the United States. Quecnstown wns tho princi pal port for Irish emigration to tho United States, nnd tho change In that retpect Is highly significant. There nre more young men in Irclnnd today than thcro wero for very many years before the war. Kmlgntflon, which for tho ten yenrs ending March 1, 1011, nvcraged 38,803 from nil Ireland, fell In 1017 to 2,111, nnd In 1018 to OSO nntives of Irelnnd.

A correspondent who Is Interested In snakes ns well ns flowers and birds nnd tho other morn popular things In nnturo writes that he has gratifying success In locating snake, by merely listening for their rustling In tho dry leaves. If one's cars nre specially trained for snake noises there Is no good reason why this method should not be really prnctlcnl. Unquestionably tho majority of wood wunderers nre nlmost blind In this matter of snnkes. Unless wo nlmost step on him we sel dom know that he Is lurking near at hand nnd- remaining very still In the hope that he will not bo noted. All our snakes aro practically defenseless. They nre not only Inoffensive and tim id creatures, but also highly useful friends of the farmer, Possibly tho bnby'suukes are in less dirogcr than tho adults. The,llttle fellows are less conspicuous, nnd, ns before noted, they can hfdo in very small refuges. Biddy's Logic.
