Dur PETER RABBIT HUNTS - mo tup uniuc nc RATTLES PETER RABBIT was botlThappy and unhappy. That Is a funny way to be, Isn't It? But It was true. Ue was happy because "be was trying to satisfy bis curiosity. Tie Ts always happy when be Is trying try-ing to do this. And he was unhappy un-happy because be didn't know how to go about It. lou see, he was trying to find the home of Rattles the Kingfisher, and he didn't know Just where to look for It. Hh knew very little about Rattles, who lives very much by himself and has little lit-tle to do wltL the rest of the Quad- dies. Peter hod been told that Rattles Rat-tles makes his home In a hole In the ground. At first he didn't believe be-lieve It. The Idea of a bird living In the ground I But when Grand-father Grand-father Krog said It was true Peter had to believe It, because he had the greatest respect for what Grandfather Frog says. What 'Grandfather Frog doesn't know about his neighbors Is hardly worth knowing, for he la very old and accounted ac-counted very wise." He had Just told Peter thnt he dldu't know Just where the- home of Rattles was, because It was none of his business, and thnt if he had known he wouldn't have told Peter, because It was none of Pe ter's business. This was quite true, but I suspect that It tnad Peter all the more anxious to find that home. Peter Is always Interested In the affairs of other folks. He Just cannot seem to help It. So he made up his mind to And the home of Rattles If It took him all summer. sum-mer. He began to suspect that It might Hunting for a particular bole In the ground without any Idea where It was likely to be was a goou ueai nice nuntmg ror a needle In a haystack. lou see there are so many hole's In the ground, some Itn the Green Forest, some In the Green Meadows, some In the Old Orchard, some In the Old Pasture, Pirate Shortstop some around the Smiling Pool, some along th Laughing Brook, though he had never been there, he suspected sus-pected that there were some along the Big River. First Peter sat down and tried to remember all the holes of which he knew, and he knew of a great many. You know he makes use of holes to escape from his enemies, and so he makes It his business to know about "No, t Haven't Lost Anythlnfl. Why. Do You Ask?" all the holes where he Is In the habit of going. "It must be a hole that some one else has dug," thought Peter, "bfr cause how could a bird with such little feet as Rattles Kingfisher has dig a hole? Of course It Isn't a hole that anyone else Is using, so It must be an old hole. I'll go visit all the old holes I know. of." Oft he started, llpperty-lipperty Up, to visit all the old' holes he could remember on . the Green Meadows and In the Green Forest, lie didn't once stop to think that never had he seen Rattles on the Green Meadows or In the Green Forest, For-est, except along the Laughing Brook. If he had he would have saved" himself a lot of trouble. But Peter Is that Way ; he thinks of only one thing at a time, just then It was the holes In the ground, so he pretty nearly ran his legs off visiting visit-ing all the old holes. Finally he Just had to sit down and rest He was tired and he was discouraged, but he was Just as curious as ever, and be had no idea of giving up. Jimmy Skunk happened along Just then. , Although Peter didn't know it,. Jimmy., had .-been watching blm for some time. i "Lost something?" Inquired Jimmy. Peter looked at. Jimmy with such a look of surprise that Jimmy laughed right out. "N'o, I haven't lost anything. Why do you ask?" said Peter. "You have been running about as If you were trying to, find something, some-thing, and so I thought you must have lost something," replied Jimmy, who didn't think anything of the kind,, but said It Just to find out ! what Peter would say. Ior a few minutes Peter said nothing. He fairly ached to ask Jimmy If be knew where Rattles was. but he was a little ashamed to. He knew that the chances were that Jimmy would tell him that It. was none of his business. But at last he decided to risk It. "I've heard," said he, "that Rattles Rat-tles the Kingfisher makes als home In a hole In the ground, and It seems such a funny thing for a bird to do that I have been visiting all the old holes I know of Just to see tf It Is true, but I haven't found It yet. You don't happen to know where his home is, do you, Jimmy?" "No," replied Jimmy, "and, I don't want to know. But If I did I wouldn't spend my time on the Green Meadows or In the Green Forest For-est I'd look around those places where Rattles Is most often seen. Did you ever see him very far from water?" "No," confessed Peter; "I hadn't thought of that" " "Well, think about It now." replied re-plied Jimmy Skunk, and went on about his business. (.1931. byT.W. Burgess.)

"Your streets," I said, "are like a flame." -"And yet," Chicago aid, "you came." Yes, clfies are as maidens are : They know their charm, they know their lure; ! And men nioy sail however far, i And breathe an air however pure. And men may talk of huddled roofs, And give you facts and give you proofs That city walls are prison walls ' That cage free men yet something some-thing calls. ' This calls; not roofs nor walls nor streets ; It Is the calling of our kind; For here the heart of Demos beats, And here humanity you find. The city calls to men who foam, Whatever city is their home, For "home" Is not ie only word It Is the calling of th herd. (, 1B31. Douglas Malloch. ) WMU Service.

DOVLTRy QUALITY IN HENS MAKES FOR PROFIT Rigid Selection Matter of Much Moment rTTiwHnin3i It Is possible to select and breed Leghorns to Increase body weight, weight of eggs, and number of eggs produced, without sacrificing any of these Increaserto 1)rinEr about any of the others, says the Cornell university uni-versity experiment station in a bulletin bul-letin recently published. While it Is said to be a normal tendency for the weight of the egg and the weight of the hen to decrease de-crease with ah Increase In the number num-ber of eggs, rigid selection, the station sta-tion says, will overcome this tendency. tend-ency. Not only that, but the tendency tend-ency was also to lengthen the egg-laying egg-laying period and to put off the time when, egg-laying diminishes through the maturity of the birds. The studies made a careful comparison com-parison between tlrds of high-lay-Ing capacity and those of low ca pacity. The high producers atej more than the low producers; but, nevertheless, it took about twice as much feed to get a dozen eggs from the low producers. When costs and incomes are balanced, the evidence Is all In favor of the pullets from a long line of ancestors selected for egg production. "When the annual an-nual feed cost, which Is about 60 per cent of the cost of producing eggs, Is deducted from the gross Income, In-come, there Is still an advantage of $2.91 per pullet, annually, In favor of the high-line bird,'' the bulletin says. Poultry House Windows in Summer and Winter Awnings for the poultry house need not be placed in the same category cat-egory as lace curtains and a radio f orrthe dairy-stable, since -many flocks are confined to the house all summer, says Prof. F. I Falrhanks of the New York State College of Agriculture. Windows In poultry houses are arranged to let In all the sunlight possible. The sunlight Is an advantage In winter but In summer sum-mer a large sunlightrpattern on the floor tends to keep the house too hot For summer ventilation Professor Profes-sor Fairbanks' advises having windows win-dows on two or more sides of the house. With the windows and ventilators ven-tilators open, the air movement does not keep th& temperature of the house lower than .out-of-doors but does remove dust, odors, and moisture mois-ture and makes the house seem cooler. In hot, still, sultry weather an electric fan set four or five feet from the floor and faced to blow across the pen or along the. wall, but not directly on the, birds, gave some relief, he says. Mash and Milk Mixing a part of the dry mash with milk until It is moistened to a crumbly state greatly Increases the palatability ofothe poultry ration. Experiments at Ohio State university univer-sity with chickens of the same breed kept under exactly the same conditions and fed the same rations, ra-tions, with the exception that a part of the ration was fed wet In one case and In the other case all of the ration was dry, showed an Increase In production during the year "of 24 eggs per blrd.-r-PralrIe Farmer. POULTRY HINTS Baby chicks double In size during the first two weeks of life. . e No breed of turkeys known win make first-grade birds at weights as low as ten pounds, says W. A. Billings, Minnesota, university farm. Over a period of years the cockerels cocke-rels that, were sold for broilers brought the best prices when marketed mar-keted in the fore part of the season. Keep eggs for hatching stored at low temperatures. At least down to 60 degrees and better at 60 degrees. de-grees. High temperatures, that Is 68 or more, will surely reduce the hatch. ' ' . Crossing breeds or varieties of poultry is not recommended. The birds from the first cross may have the good qualities of both parents but further crossing will result In a degenerated mongrel flock. . Heavy breeds or poultry, such as Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks, and Wyandottes, have been more profitable for the last three years than have the lightes breeds of chickens, according to the cost records of some 200 Ohio farmers. Fully matured pullets should nave good width between the legs to allow ths heart, lungs and egg organs to work satisfactorily.
