The BOBBY is small water fowl.

some thirty-f1ve miles southeast Of
Jamaica. The BOBBY bird is SO called
because Of it's stupidity, since it has
absolutely no fear Of man. The is

leased to private individuals who de-
rive large income from the collec-
ton and sale Of BOBBY eggs. Nearly
10000 dozen BOBBY eggs were taken

ut the rate Of about 1926 for case

lMPATIEMCE CALLED A SIN
Worse Than Folly, Inasmueh as 1t
Does Harm to Others Besides tho
Unfortunate Possessor.

The word patience is not mentioned
IN the Old Testament. It seems to
have come with the Christian deligion
and to have taken it's place among the
virtues after Christ came. This is
strange, for Impotence is one of the
implacable enemies of mans peace
and Joy. It is the easiest sin there is.
It is always ready to break out in re-
volt against the peace and dignity OF
the individual.
It Is mighty unfortunate for per-
son to be easily afflicted with impa-
thence. It is real suffering. It is q
bad spirit that grabs a man and
squeezes the reason out of him. A
man is sort of crazy who is impatient.
He let's go of faith in God and the log
le of events and gets mad at both.
It does no good to anybody, and nine
cases out of ten a man is ashamed Of
himself when he let's this sin get the
better of him. 49,.
AS proof that Impotence is down
right wfckedness, notice how q victim
of it will swear, insult his friend,
snub his wife, kick the cat, slam down
whatever Is in his hand, and make
everybody around him as miserable as
himself. Such are the evil associa-
tons Of 1mpatience.-Ohio State Jour-

EVERY MOVE CREATES SOUND
Scientific Fact Not Known to ALL
Acuteness of Hearing Among tho
Lower Animals.

It is very difficult to make some per-
sons believe that nothing can move
without making sound, although it
may seem to be absolute silence to
them. Everything that moves dis
turbs the air around it and sets up
kind Of wave motion that spreads
through the atmosphere in all direc-
tons. When these wave motions are
strong enough a sound is heard. That
nothing is heard is no evidence that
there is no sound, for other living
things may hear what men cannot.
The motion that is started in the
air when anything vibrates or moves
suddenly has often been compared to
the motion of the surface of still wa
ter when we drop a pebble into a
pond. But there Is this great differ
ence. The eye can see the wave made
by the smallest glass bead you can
find, but the ear is not nearly so SEN
sitive, and unless the waves are pref
ty high in the atmosphere the human
ear cannot detect them as sound.
The lower animals and birds have
much better ears than human beings.
A dog will prick up it's ears at the
sound Of it's masters voice, or faint
whistle, when it is an astonishing dis
lance off. A man in Baltimore put his
head out Of the window and called his
dog Jack, which he thought was chas-
ing cats in tho grounds of the blind
asylum opposite.
The dog was sitting on the steps of
friends house with the mans daugh-
ter, nearly half q mile away, and in
stantly jumped up and tore off home.
It had heard that call.
A deer has been known to look up
at the sound of a footstep that was
still half a mile away in the woods.

TO insure the best success in this
work, the poultryman must first have
fixed in his mind the line he wishes
to follow and then bend every effort
to carry it out If he wishes to breed
hens for eggs, the first thing he must
do is to select his stock with that OBJ.
ject in view.
A farmer who feeds steers for beef
production picks out individuals which
conform closest to the type of animal
which he considers would make the
best feeder. This type is entirely diff.
terent from the one dairyman would
select for his dairy herd. The man
who selects a horse to use on a heavy
drag wagon hunts for one which he
thinks can best do that work, while
the man selecting a race horse would
pick one of an entirely different con.
formation
Thus, in intelligent selection of our
live stock the purpose for which it is
to be used is first determined. In ap
plying this principle in the poultry
business, there are several things
which should be considered in select.
Ing hens for layers.
The first thing to notice concerning
the shape is, as to whether or not the
hen is rangy or becky. A becky hen
Indicates a meat producer, while the
more rangy one indicates the produc'
ton of eggs. Since the development
pr the egg, to a large extent, takes
place in the region Of the body below
the broad part of the back, that part
of the body should be broader than
the fore part. This gives to the body
V-shaped appearance as viewed
from the top, the small part of the
V lying toward the front. When q
hen is in heavy laying condition, her
abdomen is lower than the breast line
This gives the body the appearance
Of being V-shaped as viewed from
the side along the top aud bottom
lines, with the small part of the v
toward the front. This enlargement

Parks Floral Magazine. The frost has
hardly left the earth until the ex.
quisite clusters of foliage begin to
push above the ground, and very soon
the nodding buds begin to swell,
quickly developing into pleasing, sway
ing, delicate-textured bloom. They al
ways make fine display, and elicit
enthusiastic praise.
The engraving shows a group of the
flowers of Long-spurred Columbine,

the time to start the plants, and those

birds with the largest and reddest

Some claim the pelvic" bone test to
be final and conclusive. Immediately
below the tail at the end Of side
pieces Of the back are two somewhat
bony protuberances. These are called
the pelvic or clay" bones, and are
just above the vent through which
the eggs must pass. When an egg
is laid, these bones must be forced
apart to allow it's free passage. When
these bones are soft and pliable, and
spread sufficient to allow three fingers
to be placed between them, it is an
indication that the hen is laying. If
they are hard and bony, and close
together, the hen would not be con-
sidered as laying at that time.
