FATTEN FOWLS FOR MARKET
Excellent Method Given by PennsyL
vanla Experiment Station for
Preparing Cockerels.

The Pennsylvania Experiment sta
ton recently conducted tests on the
fattening of cockerels for market.
Two types of breeding and care were
represented by the fowls selected,
viz. Ordinary farm-raised and closely
managed. egg.laying types. Various
rations and methods of confinement
were compared. The number of fowls
forming the group representing pc
culiar method was ten in each case.
The result showed that farm-raised
poultry of the Plymouth Rock and
Rhode Island Red breeds may be fat
tened In crates or pens at cost for
food of 10 to IL cents per pound of
gain. No difference appeared in the
gains from crate and pen-fed fowls,
but with fowls of these kinds close
confinement resulted In greater econ
omy per pound of gain. Thin fowls
made the cheapest gains. Playground
grain and rations rich in protein gave
the better results. Milk was superior
to meat scrap as source OF protein
In the case of the more active, egg
laying breed, represented by the Leg
horn cockerels. fattening was profit
able with fowls weighing up to 2h
pounds, but not beyond that limit al
present food and poultry values. The
cost of gain with this breed ranged
from 1926 to IL cents per pound. With
the lighter birds, regular growing ra
lions were superior to special fatten
Ing mixtures. and close confinement
was not as advantageous as condi
lions permitting some exercise.

NecessItv for Salt.

All farm animals have an instinctiv.
craving for salt If it is SO placed
as to be always within their reach
they will consume just as much as
they need, and no more. 1t Is only
when 1t has been kept from them for
q long period that there Is danger Of
their eating too much. 1t is, therefore,
an excellent practice to keep 1t In q
box or boxes where they can have &C.
cess to 1t whenever they desire.
When they are sailed, as is the prac.
tice with many farmers, only once a
week, while some may get enough
others may suffer from deficient
supply. Salt promotes an active cir
culation of the blood, which never be-
comes thick and sluggish 30 long as
the supply is plentiful; 1t assists di.
gestion. and Is often preventive OF
disease. 1t is so cheap that no stock
raiser can really afford to deny to his
animals all they want of 1t.

Sewing Made Easy.

the window are three strands of No.

the storekeeper said. "They are q
wonderful convenience for people with
such poor eyes that they can't see to
thread their own needles. Here Is q
whole bunch Of them already threaded
and all the sewer has to do is to un-
wind the thread until she has the de-
sired length for the first needle, then
slip the other needles along until it
comes their turn. Maybe In some
neighborhoods that continuance
wouldn't be appreciated yer. highly,
but here it is a real blessing. Within
a few blocks of the store are three
old ladies' homes. The old ladies like
to sew. but they have found 1t impos-
sible to keep their needles threaded.

DRUG HABIT GAINS IN PARIS
Wholesale begeneracy Threatens City
Prominent Physician
Asserts.

Investigations following a recen,
succession of fatalities In the Quarter
Latin have revealed that the drug
habit has gained on Parisians. In
one store alone dope f1ends buy no
less than one hundred pints Of cocaine
and morphine every week.
So prevalent is the dope habit that
a prominent physician declares he de-
tects its victims by the score every
time he takes round of the cafes
Ether is no longer fashionable, but
especially in the artist quarters NOR
phine is used recklessly. Even the
uninitiated can detect those addicted
to 1t in an evenings stroll.
Paris, in the opinion Of this physi
clan, is the most drug-cured city in
the world, for while rich women OF
other capitals secretly indulge in va
rious dangerous ways of stimulating
their faded forces, the dope habit In
Paris has spread through every class
until wholesale degeneracy is threat

Spanish Soil Yields 1855 an Acre


The most intensively cultivated re-
gion In Europe is that part of the
province Of Valencia, Spain, which
lies between the mountains and the
Mediterranean. It has a rainfall of
only about seventeen inches a year,
but so fertile Is the soil and so skilled
are its workers that it produces crops
worth an average of $685. an acre. &C.
cording to a report sent to Washing.
ton by Consul Robert Frazer, Jr.
There are districts, he says, where
100 acres support 100 families, and
where single families live on the prod
uct of four-tenths of an acre. Farms
are rented for $3.50 an acre, and the
tenant pays As cents an hour for
pumped water, which flows In a
stream Of 200 gallons per minute.
Almost all farming Is done by hand
as minute attention is given to crops
and even to individual plants. The av.
erage production of the principal
crops is as follows, in metric tons of
2,204 pounds: Oranges, 100000 tons /;
olives, $4,000; carob beans. $4,000;
peanuts, 1880; melons, $4,000;

Then why not live suddenly, and

Mrs. Smith stared.

But, nevertheless, Mrs. Brown man
aged to get her to do 1t, and the next
week she went off for a fortnight and
didn't come back for month.
What happened at home was like q
miracle.
Elsie and Amy, whom their mother
never allowed to take the least care

the boys have a regular picnic. The

WOMAN IN POULTRY BUSINESS
of Considerable Convenience to Keep
Record Of Profit and Loss Of
Flock Of Mongrels.
(By MRS. JOHN UPTON,

(By MRS. JOHN UPTOND
I did not realize until few yeara
ago how much 1t paid to keep account
of the profit and loss from the flock.
Last year tried this with q mongrel
flock of 65 head, with the following
result:
l paid for feeding, the year, $S06b
and for chickens $3.50, a total cost
of $94.O5. l sold poultry for $47.91;
eggs, $57.56; eggs used and for set.
ting, $54.S6; value of pullets. roosters
and 10 hens on hand. $7s.76. Total,
$2S908.
This would leave profit Of $145.o3.
This includes the value of the chicks
or pullets from the 65 hens.
The 65 hens were kept in ono dock
on side hill. The house was 16x20xo,
facing south, with concrete wall and
dirt floor. One end was partitioned

ers; one of Rhode Island Reds, to be
used for raising broilers. and the third

to exhibit a favorite COW. with which
he had high hopes of winning the first
prize. On learning the result, and
that his COW had been placed fifth. his

"Why is my COW not first? What are

point one of the judges approached
him and answered.: Her faults, my
good man, are somewhat akin to your

a volunteer soldier in the army Of Gen

in the Revolutionary War. The rec

times, that he was captured by the
British in Charleston and that after
the war he settled in Shelby County.
Kentucky, and that he was a member
of the Lewis and Clark expedition that
went up the Missouri River to the
mouth Of the Yellowston. He married
Sallie Dodson, great-granddaughter
of Daniel Boone, and settled in st.
