Show PAGE TWO mm CARE OF PULLETS WHILE ON RANGE Just "feeding the chickens" soonds simpler than the task really Is, If the chickens are to be well fed. The purpose pur-pose for which the flock It being kept has a great deal to do wltb the matter. mat-ter. Rations for fattening, maintenance, main-tenance, growth And egg production are all different, and will also be varied according to the age of the chickens. Twenty-one kinds of chicken feeds, all of them different In their result, and all of them suited to different purposes, pur-poses, are exhaustively analyzed and discussed In a new bulletin by Prof. A. R. Winter of the poultry husbandry department of the Ohio State university. univer-sity. The bulletin, No. 63, entitled "Poultry Feeding Stuffs and Rations," has been published by the agricultural extension service of the university. In addition to the definitions and discussions of the various feeds, there are given six formulae for rations. Two of them are "starting and growing" grow-ing" rations and the other four are for laytng hens. Along wltb the formulae for the rations there are directions di-rections for making simple and efficient effi-cient feeding equipment for the poultry poul-try yard. Two special fattening rations are suggested, one for bens and the other for young birds. For bens, a ration of forn meal, 40 parts by weight, mixed with 60 parts, by weight, of liquid milk, Is suggested. For the younger birds a greater variety of grains Is recommended. The formula calls for a mash consisting of 59 parts of ground corn, 25 parts of wheat flour middlings, 10 parts of finely ground onts, 5 parts of meat scrap, and 1 part of salt This mash should he mixed with enough liquid milk to make a batter bat-ter that will pour fairly easily. Egg Production Is Cut 'by Uncomfortable Pens If hens could talk, they would probably prob-ably say harsh things about hot, uncomfortable un-comfortable poultry houses. Ohio poultrymen are urged to keep that In mind, among other things, by poultry extension specialists of the Ohio State university In their monthly letter to farm poultrymen keeping records In co-operation with the extension ex-tension service. A hot poultry house, the specialists observe, Is no place for a hen either to eat or to lay eggs. "Open the ventilators and remove the windows; make the houses cool and comfortable," writes one of the specialists, P. & Zurabro. "Don't ex pect egg production If the house la as hot as a bakeoven. Ueng won't stay In hot houses long enough to consume their feed." . Another point In summer care of the poultry Bock: "Summer and fall production are greatly Influenced by good green feed ; old dry bluegrass or dead rye Is noi satisfactory. Rape Is the best thing to plant cow for summer pasture. "Vard off a part of the ground around the house, and plant the rape there, allowing It to get a good start jt I will provide good pasture until freezing weather." s Two other practices successful poui -trytuen observe at; this time of year are gulling the slacker hens, and (retting (ret-ting control of lice and mites on the BeSt Plan to Separate . , ' : Cockerels ihd Pullets j As the flock" reaches the 'broiler stage th roosters and pullets should, be depurated, , for the pullets need no forcing but will make better layers If let grow along normally, with plen iy,,of exercise. Broilers, on the other lintid, should have only enongh exercise exer-cise fur health and should be fed a fattening ration. 'At the -flnar stage the,, broilers should be shut In a pen only moderately lighted and fed all th?y will eat of fine ground corn and reiui-solid buttermilk. - Some prefer to . use a prepared fattening mash, many of which are on the market. Preen or succulent feed should be fed also. Lack of exercise causes them to fntten very fast and makes tender Juicy flesh. Duck Meat Breeds One of the most common breeds of ducks Is the Pekln breed. These ducks are white or creamy white In color and are as large as any of fhe breeds of ducks with the exception of one. Drakes weigh eight to nine pounds and ducks weigh seven to eight pounds. In the meat class tnla breed to perhaps the most popular over the United States as a whole. Pekins may be mated In the proportion propor-tion of one drake to every six or eight ducks. Prevent Chick Loss Cleanliness Is highly Important In the prevention' of chick losses. Always Al-ways scrub the brooder floor with hot lye water and let It dry before putting In baby chicks. Clean litter, free from mold and small kernels of grain sioutd be used and changed often enough that filth does not accumulate. It Is better to keep chicks partially confined, when provided with sunlight, tban to let them oat on old ground which may can. disease germs am parasite eggs. An Evening With the Spirits Of RING LARDNER To the Editor: The other P. M. they was a bunch of os up In Tonkers talking about what terrible spirits you get around N. Y. now days and 1 of the birds In the party name Ilerb rays he knew where they was some beautiful spirits and we said lead us to it and be took us down to 58 st and 5 ave. and they was a doctor's name on the door and 1 said to myself this guy will probably give us a prescription that will knock os for a goal. Hut the doc took us In ft Inside room and Introduced os to lady whom they all call Medie, witch I leurn was short for Medium so you see the kind of spirits we got and the kind we thought we was going to get was 2 different kinds of spirits. Medle was a Medium rare blonde lady that could of lose SO or 40 pounds end still talk back to Gene Tunney. Well, pretty soon Medle and the doc and our party went Into still another room yet where they was about 20 other guests mostly female that looked like the end of a perfect wash day. A alma mater of Oberlln colloge ast me to look at a kind of a close line that was stretched acrost the room and on It was a bunch of toys such as dolls and cooties and etc. witcb Medle had told her was for the baby spirits to play with when they got cross. We was all put around in a circle like Tale learning their signals In the 4th quarter. I set next to Jack and his Mrs. from Tonkers and the rest of we skeptlcals was scattered around amidst the believers. "Is there somebody here name R" says Medle so I says yes it was me, "This Is Edward" says the spirit and Medle ast me If 1 bad a brother Edward Ed-ward and 1 says yes. So Medle says "This Is your brother Edward that was killed In a accident a long wile ago wasn't he f So I says yes S yrs. ago. Then Edward said Hello there and 1 said hello Edward how are you and be said hello there and I couldn't refute It so be left the field with the last word and give bis megaphone to a Irish comedian. .. "Oh, here's Pat O'Brien" eays the doc. "He Is a funny Irishman that Is with os every night, get bis brogue. So then Pat told a Irish story that died even longer ago tban Edward, but you don't feel, like razzing the spirit so everybody laughed the right amount. Before the darkness had fell I had noticed a bird retting over to the left of me that was a countryman of Mora Holmer and now all of a sudden spirit spoke to him In Norskl and he answered back in the same strain and I never understood Norway before but as soon as these birds begin to talk I knew they was saying hello Knot hello there and etc. Pretty soon Medle turned to the live ekl jumper and told him bis ? mother was going to die. "She was all right the last time I seen her" says Ellert "Well she la going to die" says Medle and personly I think she was right as Ellert was around 45 yrs. old and when a man gets that age their mother Is seldom never trying out for the Vassar basket bail team. . ", , ( "Here's a beamifut spirit, who does he want" says Medle next "lie says dear boy." "Lots of people call me that" says Herb the guy that had broughten us there at $2.00 a crack. "les It Is your father and be says he was on the river once In a boat wheu he was a little boy and was saved from drowning and be says something about a dog. Did a dog ever swim out and save your father from drowning?" I "Well no" says Hf rb after a terrible pause. "But a dog barked and roused up the neighbors and they come to the rescue." ' j i "There that's evidential" says the doc and several female voices says wonderful. ' . . , . ; , "Slilsb" says Medle "Is there' some one here that lost their wife?" ; "1 did" says Jack from Tonkers. ' "Hello sweetheart" rays the spirit. : i "Hello Kate" "says Jack. Hello sweetheart" says the spirit "She must of forgot my name" say? Jack in my ear. -"She Is a beautiful spirit" says Medle. A long about this time 1 got rest less for a smoke and begin rattling a cigarette paper and a new spirit whanged me on the knee cap with a megaphone and says what have you got there. "That's Bright Eyes talking" says Medle. "She wants jto know what you have got." "Tell tier 1 got a sore knee" 1 says "Be serious" says Bright Eyes. Well they was a lot more of them that give us all the latest news from Over There tike hello dear and hello there and hello mamma and finely Medle came to and turned up the lights and we all shoved off to 58 st "Well" says Herb. "Did yoa hav a brother that got killed S yrs. ago?" "No" I says "But I know a man thai has a brother Edward that ought to ot been killed S yrs. ago but what about that dog story? "Well" be say a "Part ot It Is true We u?e to have a dog once and be use te bark." Then Mrs. Jack from lookers baileu Jack out and we all thanked Berl for taking us to where they was notb Ing bet beautiful spirits and he says it yoa want the bad kind you can go to a Medle evil MB by ta Boil St idicat luO THE LEU I SUN, Flayer 01 mu T ITTLE has been said of Charlie " .'Jl .

Greatest Natural Lover of Children in Sports Rud Reunle, a New York baseball writer, describes Babe Buth as the "greatest natural lover of children in sportdotn." An Instance of how Ruth's sympathies sympa-thies were aroused by children who through Illness were never able to get to a ball game, was a visit the Babe paid to a bed-ridden boy In Birmingham Birming-ham this spring.

Unique and Spectacular Career of Florida Boy The early athletic career of Georgia Perrine.a Miami boy, at the University of Florida, has been both unique and rpectacular. Entering school the middle mid-dle of last year, Perrine promptly joined the frosh basket bail squad and won his numerals. Last fall George distinguished himself with the "Baby Gators" In football and won his first year numerals in that sport Becoming Becom-ing a full-fledged sophomore In February Feb-ruary of this year, George donned varsity var-sity basket ball togs, became regular center on the team, and was awarded his "F" at the close of the season. Attaining a numeral, and a varsity letter, in the same year Is an unprecedented un-precedented achievement for an athlete ath-lete at Florida, and then to top off his brilliant record, George was recently re-cently elected to captain the 1929 varsity var-sity basket ball team. Sophomores are, as a rule, seldom honored with a captaincy, and for Perrine, just a mld-sophomore to receive the election, 1? a distinct tribute to the ability and determination ef the curly-locked Ml-amian.

Today as the accepted challenger for the heavyweight crown, a modest fortune already to nis creim, greater one ahead, Tom was Just as modest about his fighting ability as when he first came over nere in me i.n nf nrnlne a few dollars fighting second raters. He didn't think thea that he was of title caliber, lorn sua has no exalted opinion of his ability, "just a plugger," he says. "But I can't see why I haven't an even chance to whip Tunney." the New Zealander declared. "I'm ' Just as strong and tough as he Is. Gene is no superman and we'll Just be fighters in there on rather even ground when the gong rings." Straight to the St Nicholas "gym,' a low-cellinged training parlor for the rank and file of the "racket" Heeney hustled, "to get the kinks out Oe plans to work several days, rest a few more, and work again easily until time to start the grind at a regular training camp outdors. Atlantic City probably will be chosen as the site for the final six weeks of preparation for the match, tentatively set for July 28, at the Yankee stadium. Heeney has a feeling that he tralnaj best Indoors. He will cut outdoor work to a minimum as far as possible. If let alone, Tom would do all hla work at St. Nick's, for "It was good enough for me when I started and it's good enough now." Tom trained for every fight In the winter elimination series in a room that also served as the work shop for a couple dozen preliminary pre-liminary fighters. From that room he went out to battle Jack Sharkey, John' ny Risko, Jimmy Maloney and Jack Delaney, all of them favorites to beat him. None of them did. Strangely enough, neither Tunney nor Mr. Heeney ever has seen the other In action within the roped battle ground. When Gene fought Jack Dempsey In Chicago last fall, Tom was busy training for his match with Maloney. The 1926 edition of the Dempsey-Tunney series found Heeney living In London on $12.50 a week tx-cause tx-cause of a dullness In the leather market It was a case of a "long time between drinks," Tom explained. Few Baseball Managers Develop Pitching Staffs It Is a matter of baseball record tfiat few managers have ever been able to develop good hitting and fielding field-ing teams along with capable pitching pitch-ing staffs, writes H.
