The Government poultry expert informed the Otago Daily Times Hurt an interesting experiment was commenced on the Ist of the present month at the Government poultry farm at Milton. Fifty hens of the heaey breed and filty oi light breed are to be kept in separate ene-los-d'res lor some time, in order to determine accurately the exact cost pej bead per week for food. All the food is to be bought at current rates, and will be carefully weighed hcfoic feeding. Means will be adopted to keep ibe hens in good health, and every llem Of Cost Will, of course, be charged to the debit account. This amount will be deducted from theprofit on sale of eggs, etc., and it is expecied that the data obtained in ttirs manner will enable the depart merit fo demonstrate the amount of money that t-ari be made out of one acre of land doroted to poultry-rear-ing. A. preliminary trial test extending over a month, at the Milton poultry iann, demonstrated that fowls cnnld be kept in a healthy and profitable condition for a fraction Under id per head per week. A boy named Bert Alexander, son of Ml' G, A. Alexander, head fitter at tie Waihi Gold Mining Company's local engineering works, met with a painfnl accident last week. He took a dyaamite cap out of his pocket ant), »oticing that it was full of dirt, commenced tapping it on a loir, After a couple of taps the cap exploded and completely shattered the hand, A la<l who was wilh ■mm, after bandaging up the hand as Well as he could to stop (lie (low of blood assisted the sufleier home Subsequently he was taken to the hospital where his injuries were attended to.
