than first surmsied. According to
this information, it is not Manuel 30.
nilla, former president, but General
Policarpo Bonilla who threatens a
revolution. This breach has been
caused, it is said because President
Davilla is drawing away from Presi-

made on the life of the private secre-

These private kilograms declare that
unless there is outside interference

Slangy Names For Postot7ces
In United States Relocated

No more slangy names for post
offices. No more jokes in the pos
tai Guide. No more jokes cracked at
the expense of entire communities.
Postmaster General Meyer believes
that town or community which is
big enough to have a post office should
possess dignified name, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. He is sedate
and dignitied himself and he is going
to eliminate Objectionable names from
the list of postofices.
AT present a score or so clerks are
busy at work going over the postal
lists and making notes of the names
that SAVIOR too much of f1ippancy or
slang. For instance, there's a town
called Skidoo in Pennsylvania, one
called Brandy Keg in Kentucky and
one called Mud in Texas. But there
will be no more if Mr.. Meyer can help
it. F
There is a place in Alabama called
Ragland. Hardly the place you'd want
to visit, judging by the name. Then
there are Teddy and Theodore in the
same state. which might have been
called for all you know after our presi-
dent. In Arkansas yau find a place
called Negrohill, an Oil Trough, Sky
light, a SNOWFALL and an Ink.
A most unpleasant place in Califor-
mia to many people must be Dry Town,
while others no doubt, find a paradise
in Port Wine, if there's anything in a
name. In Kentucky there's still more
suggestive name-Brandy Keg-and
also a town called Bliss. Near Fish
trap we find Goodluck, and a place
called Happytop near Honeybee. We
find jolly and Jamboree also. There
is place called Decoy where. they
may serve that sort of thing, but
town in the same list sounds a warn
ing-Caution.
What a place must be Kissimmee,
in Florida, If they do it. Since pro-
hibition became effective no doubt
Drybranch in Georgia carries out it's
name. Social Circle, in the same
state must be pleasant place. Keep
an eye open when you go to Lookout,
in Idaho, and watch yourself at night
when you are at Spirit Lake or on
Lost River.

The Late Chicks.

Some of the best fowls on the farm
are from the late broods. We have
seen broods come out as late as Sep
TENDER and give birds that became
very valuable as layers. September
chicks of the Plymouth Rock breed
have begun to lay in February. The
early broods are easily handled, but
there are some things in favor of the
late chicks. One of these things is
the lack of insect pests, which seem
to be most vigorous and aggressive in
the spring. The late chicks should
be well fed if they are to be gotten
ready for the coming winter. A mixed
ration, with plenty of ground bone and
meat should be given from the time
the chicks are large enough to eat.
This will give a rapidity of growth
that will astonish the person that tries
it for the first time.

self to new methods. As in all indus
tries, so in chicken raising. the past
-ew years have offered wonderful i'm
proyements, but these have taken
place in fanciers' stock more largely
than on the farm. If winter egg pro-
ducing is to be the main object of the
farmer-poultryman, let him select one
of the heayy-laying breeds, such as
Minorca or Leghorn. Best of care
must be taken of the young chicks so
they will grow to maturity. They
should be kept free from vermin above
all things.
A flock of strong, healthy pullets is
a source of Joy and profit to the farm
er, but farmers will say they haven't
time or money to grade up their fowls.
With very small expense, simply the
purchase of a few well-bred cockrels,
any farmer can make an Improvement
in his poultry.
Twelve years ago, writes a CORE
spondent Of Orange Judd Farmer, 1
bought a sitting of pure-bred eggs,
which turned out so well that l soon
disposed of all my mongrel stock at
the market, and proved to my own sat
%isfaction that a flock of pure-bred poul-
try was a good side issue on my place.
I have improved my flock from time to
time till now l have chickens that are
admired by all who see them. I am
sure no farmer who ever once owns a
flock of %pure-breds will go back to
mongrels. Beside being handsomer,
they lay more eggs and command a
ready market for fowls and eggs for
breeding purposes at a good price.
What is mor beautiful than a flock Of
pure-bred chickens on a green lawn?
All farmers should own at least a
small flock.

Vitality of Chicks.

How shall chicks with great vitality
be secured? In the first place by
keeping and feeding hens in such a
way as to give them the greatest pos.
sible amount of muscle and muscular
energy, which means that powerful
heart muscles will be developed. If
these hens are compelled to exercise
they will be able to produce eggs that
will have in them the elements of
nutrhnents and energy that will de-
velop into chicks of powerful vitality.
We do not believe that chicks of
great vitality can be developed from
eggs laid by hens that have been
pampered on fatty foods and deprived
of exercise.

HENS EAT
For This Reason They Are a Good
Thing on the Farm.

Movable poultry establishments are
coming into use on some of our farms.
1t is probable that they are as vet in
their infancy, and that we are to see
more elaborate appliances for utiIiz-
ing the idea.
have often thought that it would
be a good thing if the whole poultry
establishment could be moved about
the farm, says a writer in Farmers
Review, SO that we could have the
fowls working over a pasture one
week, a plowed field next, and perhaps
a WORKOUT meadow the next.
The amount of insects on every
farm make a rare possibility for the
feeding of fowls. I notice that when.
ever we pillow a field near the house
the hens turn out en- masse and dis
tribute themselves along the burrows
and are extremely busy pulling out
angleworms and grubs from the
turned-up soil.
| can imagine that in case of a
breeding ground of locusts being
plowed up a big flock of fowls would
prove exceedingly valuable. The fowls
destroy a great many insects each
every day if they are given a good
chance.
I wish some person would make a
few examinations of the crops of the
hens that have been allowed to run in
4 field infested with grasshoppers. I
think they would find so or more of
these insects in the crops of each
bird. AT that rate a hundred hens
would destroy 5000 insects in a day.
Insect life is very abundant on all
of our farms. If WI include the angle
worms, we see that the aggregate
weight of food Of this kind must be
very large.
The domestic fowls should be util-
lied more for the destruction of in
sects than they are.

Lack of yigor is one thing to be
looked after. None but strong, vigor-
Gus stock should be allowed in the
breeding pens, if the health of the
birds is to be kept up.
If the feathers about the neck of
any fowl look ragged, at any time
other than the melting period, it is a
pretty sure sign that lice are present,
and it is well to get after them at
once.
