WNU Service. When is the best time to fatten cockerels to market direct to butcher shops, hotels and homes? The answer is: For most economical gains in weight, fatten them at eight weeks of age. For best quality meat, fatten them between the ages of 12 weeks. The United States Department of Agriculture found that when cockerels were fattened for two weeks beginning at the age of eight weeks, they gained aboilt 48 per cent in weight, compared with a weight k gain of about 18 per cent in a fattening period beginning at 20 weeks of age. Between the ages of 12 and 20 weeks, the older the cockerels were when fattened the less efficiently they were able to put on extra weight. For each pound of gain during fattening, the cockerels required about four pounds of feed, the ones about four and ones pounds, and the about six pounds. The 12 and cockerels had the advantage of a larger proportion of choice breast and leg meat. The younger cockerels had a smaller proportion of choice meat after fattening, as well as before. Cockerels of all ages put most of their additional fat into edible portions other than leg and breast meat. Only a small part of the additional fat went into the breast meat. The proportion going into the thighs and the drum sticks also was small. Cockerels used in the tests were obtained by crossing White Leghorn males with females from a cross of Barred Plymouth Rock males and Rhode Island Red females. and 20 two-wee- eight-week-o- ld one-ha- lf Herds of Super-CowNew Government Program s, If the bureau of dairy industry reaches one of its objectives, the United States presently will have With half a million super-cowthe help of federal funds earmarked for this purpose, and with the cooperation of state and local dairy the bureau has organizations, launched a project to breed 30,000 herds of superior cattle. As the essential part of the program, it is hoped to obtain for each farmer interested a proved sire, or the son of a proved sire, for his herd. Approximately 30,000 dairy farmin the proers are now Particular emphasis is gram. placed on securing accurate birth records. Herds involved, located in nearly every state, will be known as pilot herds, setting a standard course which the owners of other herds may eventually emulate. The Department of Agriculture has recently published a pamphlet entitled List of Sires Proved in Dairy Herd Improvement Associations. Though the names of the owners of the listed sires are omitted, a farmer interested can get the information from the agricultural college in his state, where the records are on file. The publication contains the names of nearly 1,600 proved sires. s. Of Interest to Farmers Dirty eggs that are washed do not keep well when stored. Out of every hundred dollars the typical New York farmer spends for operating expenses, thirty dollars goes for feed.

FATTEN COCKERELS FOR EARLY MARKET O ( And that, boys and girls, is the way a lot of these adventure yarns start out. They start with a peaceful family scene like the one Art describes in his own home on an evening early in November, 1923. It was a cold, rainy, Friday night outside, but indoors, in the Guinan dining room, it was cheerful and bright. It was a little early to be lighting the furnace.

They had a kerosene oil stove burning in there to well to sort of take the edge off the dampness. Arts mother and dad and brother were there. His dad, who had recently been discharged from the hospital where hed spent ten months with a badly broken leg, was sitting in an easy chair with his bum leg stretched out stiffly in front of him. He couldnt walk on that leg yet, and was practically an invalid. Their Oil Stove Exploded. Mother was peeling potatoes. Arts brother had stirred up a mess of plaster and was patching a crack in the ceiling. Art had gone out to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. He was just finishing up when his dad said he didnt like the way the oil stove smelled. Mother said shed noticed it too. It was warm enough in the room by that time, anyway. She looked up and saw Art, who had just finished eating and returned to the dining room, and asked him to put the stove out. We Art says he had a special way of putting out that stove. used to turn it down as low as it would go, he says, and then pick it Pattern .

His Dad Was Helpless in the Flaming Room. up by the handle and give it a jerk to put out the last flicker of flame. But nowadays. Art realizes that thats no way to put out an oil stove. On this particular night, though, he didnt realize it. He turned the wick down to the bottom, picked the stove up and gave it a jerk. It didnt go out, so Art gave it another jerk harder, this time, than the first. The next thing he knew, he was holding onto something that looked and sounded like Vesuvius on a rampage. That stove gave out a roar that could be heard a block away. A burst of flame six feet long shot across the room. Arts mother was sitting right in the path of it. In a split second she was flaming like a HUMAN TORCH! Saved Mother but Forgot About Dad. Art dropped the stove and ran to her. Her clothes were blazing in a dozen places. With his bare hands, he started tearing at her dress. I was pulling that flame apart, he says. Lord only knows how, but I kept pulling handfuls of burning cloth from her body. My brother started coming down from the ladder he was standing on. In the meantime my mother and I had worked our way into the kjtchen and my brother joined me there. Art and his brother were both pulling at those flames now, and they were making headway. At length they had torn away the last bit of burning cloth beaten out the last spark. Then, suddenly, they thought of their dad! Art says that right there he got the worst fright of his life. They had forgotten about dad in the rush to take care of mother, but now they realized that he was the one who really needed their assistance most. Dad was helpless practically an invalid. He couldnt move out of his chair, and back there in the dining room, the whole place was blazing. Art turned to run into the dining room. The door leading to it was a raging furnace. A curtain of flame covered its whole length and breadth. Art hesitated just a fraction of a second. Then he plunged right through the door, flames and all. Flames Couldnt Stop Art. There was a smoke-fille- d space in the center of the room where the flames had not yet spread. .His dad was over at the other side of it. Art plunged across that space in nothing flat and gathered his father in his arms. His right shoe, Art says, was almost burned from his foot. I started to carry him toward the back door, but about half way across the room I stumbled. Dad fell on top of me and knocked the wind out of me. I thought Id never get it back again. Before I did, the flames had crept np on ns. It was about that time that Art felt a terrible pain in his right leg. When he looked at it he saw that the legs of his trousers were afire.-Bu- t there was no time to lose. They had to get out of that room right away. Art picked his dad up again and dragged him toward the door with one arm while he was beating out the flames in his pants legs with the other. It was a hectic five minutes. At last he was through the door. He set his dad down in a chair in the yard back of the house and ran to turn in the fire alarm. It wasnt until I reached for the alarm box, he says, that I realized how badly I was burnt. My hands looked like a couple of beefsteaks, and my legs were worse. That peaceful little home of ours looked like a hospital for the next six months. Copyright. Everybody Claims It Members of the three religions regard Adams peak, near Colombo, Ceylon, With reverence. It is fa- mous for a footprint seven feet long. According to Buddhists the print was made by Buddha. Hindus, on the other hand, maintain that it was left by Siva, and Christians sometimes identify this region with the Garden of Eden," therefore holding that the footprint is that of none other than Adam.
