By Dr. W, C, Thompson, Poultry Husbandman, Rutgers University. WNU Service. Experience proves that the use of proved sires is just as sound and economical for the poultry industry as it is for the dairy and other live stock industries in which this practice has been followed for years. The poultry sire should pass inspection on three definite points to qualify as proved. First, his family tree should be known for at least three generations and should contain as many individuals as possible whose egg production, growth, and general qualifications are worthy of perpetuation. Although a pedigree alone does not guarantee good results, it increases possibilities of obtaining them. Secondly, the proved sire, as an individual, must possess the type of characteristics which it is desired that he pass on to his progeny. In the third place, the proved sire must have demonstrated his capacities to produce fertile and hatchable eggs and strong, viable .chicks. During the past season many poultry men have been using male birds with good pedigrees. Those birds will have been found to go through the breeding season in a strong, healthy condition. Hatching records will have given considerable valuable information which may be accepted as at least the first steps in progeny testing. It is a mistake for poultry breeders to sell off such valuable sires simply because they may consider it difficult to keep them over the summer season on the poultry plant. Too often it is a practice to use only cockerels or first year breeders each spring. From such birds, information on only the first two points is possible. To be a proved sire, a bird must have a record of production. Keep over promising male birds until next January. Their daughters will have shown what they can do in egg yields during the coming fall and winter. By the opening of the next breeder season, sufficient data for progency testing will be at hand to enable the poultry man to select the exact birds to be saved. Fly Nets, Repellents Are Urged for Horses Every effort should be directed toward preventing horses from being bitten by insects, since it is believed that blood sucking insects are responsible for the transmission of sleeping sickness in horses, says A. W. Uren of the Missouri college of agriculture. The incidence of this disease at army posts, in states where the disease was quite prevalent, was only as much in the horse population on the farms adjacent to the post. This low incidence is thought to be due to the fact that the army hoses were kept in screened stables. It is recommended, therefore, that horses be kept in stables as much as possible during an epidemic, particularly if the stables are screened. . It is also recommended that fly nets be used when horses are worked, and that the horses be sprayed often with fly repellents. An effective and rather inexpensive fly spray can be made by extracting 1 pound of pyrethrum flowers in 1 gallon of kerosene for 48 hours, then decant or siphon off the clear liquid. If two parts of the extract are then thoroughly mixed with one part of water containing 3 to 5 per cent of soft soap, the mixture is then ready for use.

The Fall Into the Bottomless Well T9 , EVERYBODY: you imagine falling into a well and never reaching bottom? Thats what happened to William J. Sternberg of Long Island City, N. Y., who tells todays yarn. HELLO In the spring of 1885, Bill Sternberg, then a lad of 19, was putting in panes of glass along the side of a building in Long Island City, N. Y., since burned down. A steep slope fell away almost vertically from the building, and below this slope was an old well, whose rotting timbers had been removed preparatory to making a new cover. Now watch and see what happened. Salt Lake City A mammoth peace meeting to celebate the twentieth anniversary of the battle of Gesnes, ...in which the 91st Division lost more than ,1,000 men, will be held Friday evening at 8:15, September 80th, in the Salt Lake Tabernacle. Invitations have gone out to all members of this famous Western Wartime Division and more than 1,000 Gold Star Mothers, whose sons were killed in action, most of them on September 29th, 1918, during the Battle of Gesnes. Along the far end of the building, the ground fell away so steeply that Bill had to go look for the ladder he had left against the one-sto- ry extension. To make sure the ladder was still where he had left it, he took a step backward to look over, the edge of the roof. Suddenly his left foot went completely into space! Bill says, I knew in a flash where I was about to go. It was too late to scramble forward, so I braced my foot, and with all my might I 'threw my body back And right below lay you guessed it the open well! Bills quick thinking may have saved his life, but it didnt keep him from going through a bad experience. His shoulders struck the far edge of the well and his feet scraped the near edge so that he lay across the top opening like a stiff stick. Only he wasnt so stiff, worse luck. Bit by bit he started to slip down the sides of the well, the weight of his body held in space only by the fierce pressure of his braced feet and shoulders against the rough brick sides of the well. And Then He Started to Slip! Had that well been an inch wider in diameter, boys and girls, Bill wouldnt be telling this story. As it was, he had all he could do, pressing with all his strength, to keep his body out straight, to keep pressure on his toes and his shoulders and neck. Picture for yourself what he was up against. If either his head or his feet started slipping faster than the other end, he might drop so much on one end that his body would no longer meet the wall on both sides. The minute his legs or his shoulders slipped enough to fall away from the wall HE WOULD PLUNGE TO THE DEPTHS BELOW! But worse was still to come.
