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.

Navy and Marines
The U. 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.

Explosives Blast Ore
Steel, considered the index of busi
ness in this country because next to
farming it is our greatest single
industry, is dependent upon explo
sives for the production of its fin
ished product.
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.

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.
