THURSDAY, F ebruary THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON, OREGON,PAGE FIVE 24, 1944 Peru Raising Animal For Its Rare Wool The vicuna, a rare animal of the high Andes prized for its fine wool, is being domesticated in Peru. More than 300 animals have been estab lished on a hacienda near Puno in the Peruvian plateau region. Pres ident Manuel Prado, in a recent message to the Peruvian congress, told of the successful domestication of the vicuna. The vicuna is the smallest and rarest of a New World family of animals related to the camel. Other members of this fam ily are the llama, the domesticated beast of burden of the Andes; the alpaca, a smaller member of the family which produces the alpaca wool of commerce, and the guanaco. The guanaco has never been do mesticated. It is found in its wild state as far south as the Straits of Magellan. It is believed to be the animal from which the other three members of the family were de rived. Tha vicuna is a small ga zelle-like animal about two feet high at the shoulder, whose habitat is the upper valleys of the Andes, rang ing from 14,000 to 16,000 feet above sea level. The vicuna has a coat of remark ably fine wool, said to be the softest of any known animal fiber. The wool is tan on the back, ranging to white on the underside of the ani mal. The vicuna has been hunted almost to extinction. So the govern ments of Peru and Bolivia enacted stringent laws to protect it. Only a small percentage of the male ani mals can be shot each year.

S. navy was founded in 1775 when the Continental Congress ordered 13 ships built. The first American fleet was organized on December 22, 1775, and Esek Hop kins was commissioned commander in chief, a title thereafter exclu sively reserved to the President. Other grades and titles relative to army titles, although not established by law until 1862, were created in November, 1776. On November 10, 1775, the Conti nental Congress authorized the founding of the marine corps. Ma rines were recruited from among seamen ordinarily employed in the fisheries and the trade with the West Indies. It was not until April 30, 1798, that the navy department was es tablished by the U. S. congress as provided by the Constitution. Ben jämin Stoddert of Georgetown, Md., was appointed secretary. On July 11, 1798, the marine corps was like wise formally established. A bird of the New Hampshire breed .was second at the Western New York test and took second place in the nation, by laying 339 eggs I valued at 371 points, in the 51 weeks. This is the highest record ever made by a New Hampshire hen, and is also the fourth highest record ever made by a hen of any breed. The New Hampshire hen laid an j egg every day for 213 days, from October 24 to May 24, to make what is apparently a new national egg j laying test record for continuous production. The former top record for a New Hampshire hen was 332 eggs and 347.05 points, made by a bird from the Joachim Breeding farm of Riverton, N. J., in the 1942 Connecticut egg-laying contest.

In the extensive pit mines of the Mesaba range in northern Minne sota explosives are used to loosen up the iron ore so that it can be han dled by the steam shovels. In the bituminous mines of western Penn sylvania explosives are used to break down the coal to be made into coke for the reduction of this iron ore. In the big quarries of the lower Michigan peninsula explosives are used to blast out solid limestone, which is subsequently crushed and is used for a flux with the coke and the ore for the manufacture of iron and steel. KEEP ON DRUG Table Wastes Make Good Dessert for Laying Hens Cooky crumbs, stale bread, and other bakery or- table wastes may be all right as a dessert for the laying hens, but don’t try to give it to them for their full ration. Birds need the complete mash mixture in order to lay well. Bak ery wastes can be substituted for part of the grain fed. Usually it is wise to limit the amount of scraps fed the birds to 5 or 10 pounds for every 100 pounds of mash used. This will provide a substantial saving in feed used, and will also make use of a large volume of waste products. Watch the prices, also, for the waste products cannot be worth more than a similar weight of grain, since they do not have special feeding properties. The eas iest way to feed stale bread to chick ens is to mix it with milk or water for a wet mash. Cooky crumbs and other flour products may be used, but cracker crumbs are not safe to use in too large amounts, as they may contain a high proportion of salt. Waste from fresh vegetables such as lettuce or cabbage leaves, makes a good green feed for hens.
