A corn ration will put on fat just
as fast in summer as in winter. For
this reason the flock of laying hens
should be fed sparingly of corn and
should be made to dig and scratch for
the small grain they get Another
excellent way to give them exercise Is
to spade up a patch of the hen yard
Enclosure every few days and give
them q chance to dig for worms.

The owner may put his own valuation

GERMANY MAKES SlAG BRICK
Account Of Strength and Re- sistance to Heat.

In Germany the granulated slag from blast furnaces is being utilized for the manufacture of brick. The making of slag brick is no new thing, but heretofore fluid slag has been employed for the purpose, and the brick thus produced has been found unsuitable for building purposes. be- cause of Its impermeability to air and steam.
 But the slag bricks made fin Ger many are. it is said, not open to this objection. On the contrary. while ex- ceeding the strength of ordinary bricks and possessing an extraor- dinary resistance to heat, they are more permeable to air. and conse- qaently are well suited for the build ing of houges. They do not absorb water as rapidly as ordinary bricks.

BERRY RAISfRS 10
 60 10 MORRILTON
STUDY CROP MARKETING
FAULKNER GROW F. R s AND PACKERS WILL SPEND WEEK
 IN CONWAY COUNTY.

From Fridays Daily
 In order to 'famliarize themselves with the best methods of gathering and marketing the strawberry crop, a large number of members of the Faulkner County Truck Growers As sociation are planning to spend sev- eral days in the vicinity of Morrilton during the berry season, which will open within few days. The local men are undertaking for the first time to raise strawberries on a large scale, and. while there will be none shipped from here this year, they feel that by visiting the Conway county growers during the season, they can get many valuable points on the berry crop. In addition to the truck grow CTS, a big crowd of boys and girls from this vicinity will go to Morril- ton to pick berries. Good pickers make from $1.50 to S2.00 per day, and the Conway County Horticultural As soaiat on is advertising for 1000 pickers to begin work at once.
 Secretary w. D. Cole, Jr., of the Faulkner county association said to- day that the berry plants put out here this spring are all doing nicely. In addition to the acreage planted this spring, another large lot of plants will be set out next fall. These can be secured from the vines already planted, and will make half crop next spring.
 On account of being unable to se- cure enough plants, the Conway Strawberry Company has devoted six of .ts 50 acres to cantaloupes this year. The weather conditions have been very unfavorable to planting, but total of about 150 acres have been planted in cantaloupes. This, it is thought, will insure shipments of several carloads per day when the melons begin to mature.
 Secretary Cole says the Elberta peach crop in this section will be the largest ever grown. Several thous- and trees will bear for the first time this year, and MT. Cole thinks at least five or six cars will be shipped, in ad- dtion to the Round Mountain crop of probably an equal amount, which will be loaded at Gold Creek switch, five miles south of Conway.
