Chap Found Swankin' It Required Some Effort Uncle PAilQl Sir Cecil Fitch on his trip to Hollywood told the story of a chap who suddenly got rich somehow. One day a piano was delivered at his cottage. A neighbor said on seeing it arrive: Youre fair swankin. But you wont keep that long, mark me! The very next day the newly rich chap wheeled his piano out on a hand cart and started down the road. Ho, ho! laughed the neighbor as he saw him. I told you you wouldnt keep it long. Shut yer face, fool, said the other. Im off to take me first lesson. By C. O.

Flocks of White Leghorns laying per cent or better should consume at least 25 pounds of feed per 100 birds daily at this season of the year. Size of bird, type of house, heated or rate of production and use of lights are all factors which must be taken into consideration when figuring feed intake. Un- less birds eat large quantities of feed they cannot maintain body weight and produce heavily. Some poultrymen make a practice of feeding their birds all the scratch feed that they will eat at night and about half that amount in the morning. Fresh mash is usually fed each day. Increased feed intake can usually be obtained by stirring the mash in the feeders with the hand each time a trip is made through the building. The use of a fleshing mash or fleshing pellets at noon each day will also increase total feed consumption. Some poultrymen make a practice of dabbing paint on the plumage of a few birds so they can be readily identified. These birds are then weighed at frequent intervals so as to keep a check on the weight of 50 non-heate- Finest Needlework In Exclusive Design Sau5i ADVENTURERS CLUB Make Sure of This: There is no abundant life that is to come out 'of somebody elses efforts.

SPEARS: Those of embroidery stitches in your Book 2 have interested me It was on February 5, 1918, on the army cargo transport U. S. S. Hatteras that it happened. Jim Evrard had joined the navy as a radio operator in 1917, and here he was on the Hatteras, somewhere out in the Atlantic ocean. The Hatteras had sailed a week or so before, from Hampton Roads, Va.

Fulfill your Good Care and Feeding Thwarts Shipping Fever Greater protection during shipment and careful management immediately after live stock arrives on the farm will lighten losses from shipping fever, says Dr. W. L. Boyd, Missouri university farm, veterinarian. En route to the farm, either by truck or train, live stock is subject to many hazards irregular feeding and watering, and bad weather among them. This applies especially to young stock, which may suffer serious loss in 'vitality. Regular feeding and watering plus protection against the weather will make the stock less likely to contact the fever. Care and feeding of the animals once they are on the farm is the second important ounce of prevention.

Doctor Boyd. The use of vaccines and serums Ludens, like hot for the prevention and cure of shipping fever should be attempted only by trained veterinarians. To expect favorable results from vaccines, they should be administered soon after the animals arrive. In the Feed Lot Potatoes to be fed to pigs should be cooked for best results. Purebred pigs gain a third faster than scrubs, and on a fifth less feed for each pound of gain. For best results in curing the meat, hogs should not be fed for 24 hours before slaughtering.

WORTH South Louisiana farmers grow a squashlike vegetable of the cucum- ber family called the vegetable horror the chain was running wild. on the morning that the storm subsided, the crew rigged an emergency gear and began to hoist them aboard. ' Thats where Jim Evrard comes Into the story. Jim was a radio operator, bat in a pinch, aboard ship, everybody turns to and lends a hand. And Jim was sent down into the chain lockers with a lad named Pierey and another lad named White, to lay anchor chain. I guess that sort of calls for a word of explanation. The chain lockers on the Hatteras were a conple of rooms eight feet sqnare, just below deck, up at the bow of the ship. They were nsed, of course, to stow the anchor chains in while they were not in nse. Up on the deck, a big winch was hauling in the starboard anchor, and as the chain came in, it was passed through a hole in the deck, down into the chain locker. Well, sir, if that chain were just allowed to lie in the locker any way it landed, it would tangle and snarl next time the anchor was dropped. It had to be laid in a neat coil as it came down, and thats what Jim, and Pierey, and White were doing down there that fateful February day that Old Lady Adventure-ha- d picked out to give three sailors the scare of their lives. A Choppy Sea Made Footing Insecure. j By that time, all three of them were pretty tired. The chain, with its big ten and a half inch links, was heavy. The sea was still choppy, making their footing none too sure. But they worked away at the port chain until the coil rose high in the locker. Finally the chain stqpped coming in. They could tell by the size of their coil that the anchor was up and out of the water and ready to be heaved on deck. The three lads had stopped work, and leaning, each in a different comer of the cramped locker, bracing themselves against the pitching and tgssing of the ship. We were waiting for orders to go back up on deck, says Jim, but the order was slow in coming. Imagine our surprise when we saw the anchor chain begin to pay oat again. It moved slowly at first, and then quite rapidly. After several seconds of watching it increased its speed, we realized to our horror that the . chain was running wild! And those lads had good reason to be horrified. Great loops of heavy chain began whipping in long swings, striking the sides of the locker. Faster and faster it went, and wider and wider were the loops that lashed out on all sides. It was swinging with terrific force, says Jim. If it hit us, it would break our bones like cardboard, or crush our skulls as if they were egg shells. And there we stood, not daring to move out of our corners wondering when the flying mesh of steel was going to whip in after us wondering when a chance lurch of the ship was going to throw us off balance out into the path of that whirling mass of metal. The Noise of the Links Was Like a Death Knell. The din was terrific. Our prison was small, and we could feel tho wind on our faces as the chain flew by. In wider and wider arcs it swung. The links, as they hit the walls, sounded like the beats of a death knelj to all of us. I wanted to faint, but I didnt dare. Powerless to do anything at all, I kept my mind on the one thing that might save right where I was in the scant protection the corner of the room afforded me. Loop after loop whipped its way around the little locker and spun on up through the hole in the top. Only a few more of those loops to go now. Then theyd all be safe. Jim watched those last few loops go, and breathed a prayer of thanksgiving. They WERE safe. Over In their own corners stood White and Pierey, ' chalky-facebat unhurt. Then they called to the officers up on deck, who by that time, doubted if any of them were alive. The cause of the trouble, they had found, had been Old Man Neptune himself. A roll of.the ship had thrown over the anchor chock, and another roll had caused the engineer to slip and throw the anchor winch out of gear'. The anchor had to be raised again, says Jim, but we werent sent down to lay the chain. The next three men had better luck than we did. at C and D.

Houses Need Litter Litter serves a triple purpose in the laying house. It serves to keep the floor warm, it helps to keep the house dry, and it provides material in which the birds can scratch. It is therefore necessary to have the floor littered for the pullets. The most satisfactory litter is highly and will not pack. Various materials are used such as straw, peat, and oat hulls. These materials are placed on the floor of the poultry house to a depth of about 2 inches; when straw is used it should be applied to a depth .of 6 to 8 inches. making his clothes and trimming them with little touches of embroidery.
