On most farms it is the custom to sell the males at the age when they weigh about 2 pounds each. Chicks that are hatched before the first of April bring godd prices at the stage. This should be by the time they are 10 or 12 weeks old, or earlier. Many grow good broilers of 2 pounds in eight weeks, sometimes in six.

The cat, dropping to the ground, was uninjured except for numerous wounds inflicted by the talons. The cat was enjoying a snooze on the roof of a farmhouse when her sudden aerial trip began. The eagle swooped down, scooped up the animal, and headed toward its nest. Getting into action with her claws raking the eagles breast, the cat made her cape.

The floor is usually left as earth to keep fruit from shriveling in storage. Slatted floor racks of barrels are often used over the earth. Intake openings are cut at intervals of 10 to 12 feet around the building just above the floor level. These openings are usually 18 by 20 inches or larger to permit easy intake of air without too much loss from friction. Many storages in the past were built with intake openings too small to let in the cool air quickly at favorable times for ventilation and cooling. The total area of the intake openings is usually in proportion to one square foot of Intake space to 700 cubic feet of storage volume. Stacks for outlets are built up through the roof. These are usually 3 by 4 feet or larger to permit free movement of air. They are placed about 20 feet apart the length of the building. The outlets are usually designed to figure at least one square foot of area to each 1,200 cubic feet of storage volume. It is a good fault to make them a little oversize. , Ffy Catcher There is no profit in holding the cockerels longer than 12 weeks, unless they are to be kept for breeding purposes, or to supply a special market I know of a number of poultry men who supply motorists chicken lunches and dinners during the summer and early fall. These men make a good profit by holding the cockerels to a later date, sometimes to the age pf four or five months,, because they can dispose of them at a large price to the traveling public, says a writer in the Indiana Farmers Guide. Poultry men who are located on roads should consider this method of making larger profit from their flocks. It is a field of endeavor not yet overcrowded. Cockerels to be kept for breeders should be removed to a separate house and range. If there happens to be but one good range available, let the pullets have it It is of more importance to them than it could possibly be to the cockerels. However, It is a good plan to take good care of the males. Remember, they -- Hector had never done a stroke of in his life. As his private means were not very large, Grace was considerably surprised when he invited her to marry him. How in the world are we going to work live? sh-- j asked. The question did not trouble Hector. Oh, with your people! he said, in a bored voice. But Grace shook her head. In afraid that idea is no good, she replied without more ado. ,The monocle droppe with a tinkle out of Hectors eye, and a disconcerted look came over his face. Why not? he demanded.

H. Harvey, agricultural botanist. University Farm, St. Paul, inventor of this process which has recently been' granted a patent. Many wholesalers and commercial growers now are using the ethylene method of ripening with uotable success. All that .is necessary in the way of special equipment is a suitable room or chamber and a tank of ethylene gas equipped with a simple flow meter. The meter, plus enough gas to treat several carloads of tomatoes, will coBt only about $30. The gas cost is negligible, ranging from about 40 cents to $1.00 a carload. The room or chamber should be closed off so as to make it practi' ally gas tight. An ordinary plastered room, or cellar room, will work satisfactorily, providing cracks around windows are closed with adhesive tape and if it has a fairly tight fitting door. Some means should also be available for maintaining a temperature of from 65 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. . Tomatoes should be picked when they are beginning to turn or ' when they are fairly well along toward maturity. In no ease should they be picked so green that more than four days is required to ripen them by the gas process, Doctor Harvey says. They may be placed in the ripening chamber in baskets, crates, or other ' ' containers. . Flies everywhere! Flies nowhere if you spray Flit!

Growing and Fattening of Hogs During Summer , The growing and fattening of hogs in the summer time without the use of some good pasture crop is usually an A saving of uneconomical practice. from 15 to 25 per cent of the total amount of grain and supplements may be expected through the use of forage. It may even be possible in some cases with an abundance of legume forage to obtain fairly satisfactory gains for a time on forage alone, but the greatest returns will be obtained when grain is fed in addition to the forage at the rate of three or four pounds per day for each 100 pounds live weight. When the grain, feed is very much limited on pasture, naturally less grain will be used in making the early gains, but as in the experiment cited above,' eventually a total of more grain may be required to finish the hogs and the time required will be longer.
