reply. But I'd like to be sure Of be-
slowing my cherished name on q real
good one. I'd hate to have a bad one
running in my name. My friends of q
racing turn would be guying me all
the time about my namesake's perform
ances.
WELL said Ziegler. you're pretty
good judge Of race horse yourself.
Now here are two Of my cracks In
these two stalls. I'll have 'em led out
into my paddock by one Of the stable
hands, and you can look them over and
take your pick Of them. Whichever
one you like the better I'll name after
you
Done said MIR. Longworth, and the
two yearlings were led into the open.
They were both fine lockers, but Mr..
Longworth liked the appearance Of the
larger one of the two the better.
THAT one" he said, pointing to his
pick. He looks good to me-
Hes christened "Nick Longworth," !"
then said Mr.. Ziegler. and the colt was
duly named Nick Longworth and regis
tered with the Jockey Club under that
name.
Now, the other colt Of the pair from
which Mr.. L0ngworth made his selec-
tion was afterward named Hermis.
Sounds kind o. familiar to you, eh,
that name. Hermis? Well, should
think it would sound familiar seeing
that, in the deliberate belief of many of
the most astute horsemen in this coun-
try, Hermis was absolutely the finest
race horse ever foaled in the United
States, a speed and distance marvel,
Q bulldog who never knew when he
was beaten, and an animal worthy to
be ranked with the very greatest race
horses Of all time in this or any other
country
80 much for Hermis, the one that
Mr.. Longworth didn't pick out. AS for
the one that he did pick out, and that
was named Nick Longworth-well,
Nick was worth about 1912 as = rae
ing proposition, and that's about all.
He could win selling race once in
while on Thursdays when the wind was
sou u'-sou'east by nor, but he ecouldn't get
out Of his own way in running with
even fair handicap horses, and he lost
about twenty times to one win, and
It really did come to pass that Mr..
Longworth's Cincinnati friends guyed
him numerically about his namesake
horse. Mr.. Longworth never, of course,
told his guying friends that he'd actu-
ally had the chance to get so noble an
animal as Hermis named after him.
He probably felt that the situation was
bad enough as 1t was.

A good system to follow for winter
feeding is mash once day and grain
scattered in the litter twice day. The
mash may be fed dry or slightly moist

against the wall and the fowls allowed

eggs a year has value OF ". An
estimate is made that 81 year will
keep her in comfortable ii not luxurt-

millions of barnyard scrubs do not
yield hundred eggs year.
According to Government authori-
ties the earning from the egg and
poultry industry amounts to about
$3.50, 100000. Cotton, the king of crops
with a value reaching up to $259, ,00O.-
900, is thus dethroned by the magnifl-
cient earnings of the fowl.
During 1905 the total value Of all the
gold, silver, wool and sheep produced
in the United States was $272. .000, 900.
The wheat crop, considered the most
valuable Of all agricultural products
had a value in the same period Of
1929 100000. The great American
hog. consumed at home and abroad,
was valued at about $1S6.529.035. The

only $20,000,00O. The combined value
of the oat and potato crops was only
160.000,000. The industrious little
oailus domestieus produces enough
eggs to require train Of refrigerator
cars 900 miles long filled with 43,000.-
900 crates, each of which holds $50
eggs. The value of the egg as food

II one already has flock of mongrel

When a man becomes famous, all
the Incidents of his past life are lald

around of how Nick Longworth came
near to attaining to fame some years
ago, in connection with horses.
.The story runs" according to Q
prominent horseman, that some years
ago II. NJ. Ziegler, of Cincinnati, the
noted owner of thoroughbreds. and an
intimate friend OF Mr.. Longworth,
took the latter down to his Kentucky
thoroughbred farm to show him his
collection of fine yearlings.
"All of these yearlings were as yet

THE NEGRO As A FlRNER.
Booker Warrington Says He 10 Al
His Worst In Large Cities

Booker T. Washington In an address
at Washington, d. c., recently struck
a keynote when he stated that, The
negro Is at his worst in the crowded
life Of large city, and at his best in
the rural districts where he owns and
cultiyates the soil.
The speaker said the demand in the
South for negroes trained for teachers
and leaders In the class room, and the
factory was tremendous; but more
pressing yet was the demand from the
best white people of that section for
negroes to take charge of their farms,
dairies and other Industries. This de.
mand is shown, he said, by the fact
that every one of the 525 students who
left Tuskegee last summer had been en-
gagged weeks before the end of the term.
Washington is solicited by mall tele-
graph. and In person to furnish
trained negroes, and could have found
places for twice the number had they
been forthcoming.
Association with the white people
has given the negro new wants, de-
sires and ambitions" said Mr.. Wash
ington; ITO these, education is neces-
sary, both to appreciate fully the newly
awakened feelings and to provide
means for their rational satisfaction,
Hence, from the most selfish point OF
view, the right kind of education is
beneficial for the negro"
That the negro is not naturally an
idler Is shown. the speaker said by the
trebling of the South's industrial
wealth in the last twenty years with.
out any appreciable increase In immi.
grafton. This advance is due. he
thought, in great part to the well
directed labor OF the negro.

Ducks don't need water to thrive
There are many farms In this country,
where thousands of these fowl are
raised each year for market, and where
there Is not even a puddle for them to
founder in. One OF these establish
ments is said to furnish 10000 ducks
year.

Cork, in spite Of its buoyancy. will
not raise to the surface again from a
depth Of 200 feet below the oceans sur.

E1tendinx the Weather Service.

In order that the work of the
Weather Bureau may be of greatest
possible benefit to the people of the
United States, and especially to that
class which is dependent upon the
weather, Prof. Willis L. Moore, the
chief, has been making arrangements
by which such agriculturists as have
telephones and want the service, may
obtain weather forecasts within a few
minutes after the announcement Of
telephone advice as to the state of COM
ing weather. This is operating in New
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan
and other states. Recently the Weather
Bureau made arrangements for an ex.
tension of this service in Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia

Not the LAYING Kind.

A few days ago a rather bashful
young woman went into Southern
grocery store with some chickens to
sell. She inquired the price of fowls,
and at the same time put hers on the
counter. The clerk didn't notice that
the chickens feet we're tied, and asked
her II they would lay there. She bit
her handkerchief, turned her head, and
said. mo. sir, they are roosters."

Young chickens should be fed little
at time and often. If they are given
ground food alone. there is a great
danger of overfeeding. Very good re-
suits may be obtained by the feeding
entirely of cracked grains from the
time the chickens are Matched until
they reach maturity. There are on the
market many prepared chick feeds, con-
sisting of different mixtures of suitable
cracked grains. After the chickens are
five or six weeks old, the prepared chick
feed may be dropped and cracked corn,
cracked wheat, hulled oats, etc, fed to
them instead.
If the chickens can not get grass,
provide green feed such as lettuce and

purpose. Some kind of meat, such as
