SAY PATRICK is TOO FAT
Municipal Boiler Washer Of Chicago
Must Train Down by Order Of
Civil Service Commission.

Chicago.-The Shakespearean per-
son who walled about the too, too
solid flesh," and the fact that it would
not melt had nothing on Patrick Ear
kin, a boiler washer in the city service.
Larkin faces the possibility of having
charges filed against him by the civil
service commission because he weighs
240 pounds.
Larkin's plight became a matter of
public record when he attempted to
force his way into a boiler man-hole
and it required three men to drag him
out. Commissioner John J. Flynn rec.
commended that Larkin be given a leave
of absence in which to train down and
in case that does not prove effectual,
to file charges against him for inefi-
cheney.

Scientists in Their Discoveries I'm

If the green plant in sunlight can
elaborate from water and carbon diox-
ide nj of our chief food substances,
starch, there is no reason why the
biological chemist should not discover
the secret of this process and initiate
it an a commercial scale. Starch,
believe, has never been synthetized
but some sugars have been SO con-
structed. Two years ago Stoklassa
and Sdobnicky made the remarkable
discovery that by the action of ultra
violet light on nascent hydrogen and
carbon dioxide sugar was formed
Such discoveries as this suggest the
means by which we are to throw off
our slavery to the green plant, and ]
am convinced that in time this over
throw will become so complete that
our staple foods will be the products
of the biological chemist. = Popular

Preceding pens are built only eight
feet wide, but no house should be
built less than IL feet wide, unless for
special purposes.
For a farmer, a house Ia feet up to
20 feet wide is more satisfactory and
costs little more than n eight to
IL feet wide. For focks of 100 birds,
houses 20 feet square r the most
economical to construct. Houses are
rarely built wider than 20 feet.
HEIGHT.-The height of a poultry
house should be sufficient to enable a
person to work conveniently. The
wider the house, the higher the walls
should be in proportion. 1t is unnec-
essary to have the rear side of the
house over four feet six inches high,
unless a fiat roof is used. In houses
which have their highest sides facing
the south the front should be not less
than six feet high.

corn, either mixing them with the
corn and drilling the mixture or, bet
ter still, using a special cowpea at
tachment on the planter, checking the
corn and dropping about four peas to
each hill of corn. The peas will both
err some in the cultivation of the corn,
but their value makes up for the
bother. Lt%!
Fifty to 60-pound western lambs are
most commonly used to pasture off
these peas. They will put on Is to 20
pounds gain in 80 days in the corn
field. During this time a single-deck
carload of sheep will eat about so
bushels of corn and most Of the leaves
they can reach. BY the middle to the
last of November the lambs will need
more feed than that which the fields
furnish. AS the frosts soon kill the
cowpeas and the leaves all drop off,
many farmers sell the lambs direct
from the cornfields, while others pre-
fer to feed them grain and hay, sell
ing them later on in the winter. Just
which would be the best to do will
always depend on the weight and
amount of flesh the lambs are carry
ing and the condition of the market
This system of sheep farming has
become popular because of the low
cost of production. Gains are made
almost entirely off of what would
otherwise be wasted, and a margin OF
/ cent gives a fair profit in many
cases, and good interest on 1.-The in
vestment has been made on closer
margins.
Other sheep-feeders buy in the fall

and in many cases silage. But the
uncertainty of the market has KEEP
many farmers from doing this, espe
cially since 1910, when feeder lambs
were high and the market dropped
about the time these lambs were
ready to be sold.

were brought to the Missouri expert
ment station. They cost $3.50 laid
down at Columbia. Lambs from these
ewes brought $4.O5 on the st. Louis
market July 5. The ewes fleece
brought on the average $1,S3, which
paid for their feed. III. .-.
Marketing the lambs in June or
early in July is in nearly every case
the advisable thing to do. First, be-
cause the lambs will make little, II
any, gain from July l to Sept. l. From
records kept here we find that lambs
nor often lose than gain in weight
during the hot summer weather. Sec
ond, this system avoids the, risk and
trouble of stomach worms. Third,
these lambs do not have to compete
with the western lambs on the mar
ket, as they do not begin to come in
until later, and with only native
lambs on the market at this season of
the year a higher market usually pre-
walls.
The idea of having ten or a dozen
sheep around the farm to act as seav-
engers never has nor never will do
the sheep industry any good. Not be-
cause sheep will not clean out the
fence rows and utilize odds and ends
of pasture, but because the number of
sheep and the amount of money in
vested is too small for the average
farmer to pay enough attention to
them.
Missouri ranks as n of the fore
most sheep states in the corn belt, as
rightfully she should. The natural
advantages of this state for the sheep
industry are surpassed by none. We
have Kansas City and st. Joseph on
our western border, and, as we are in
close touch with Omaha and Denver,
so our opportunities for purchasing
western feeding and breeding sheep
are the best. For the finished produces
we have the Kansas City stock yards
the National Stock Yards of East st.
Louis and the Union Stock Yards OF
Chicago.

In central and north Missouri sheep
feeding is an important factor with
many Of the farmers. Especially pop
ular is the practice of ~pasturing out
the underground in the cornfields. In
most cases cowpeas are sown with
the corn to furnish feed for the
lambs. By some the cowpeas are
sown at the last cultivation of the
corn, but unless the weather is ex-
ceptionally favorable the cowpeas 40
not make a very good growth.
On the station farm here we find il
a better practice to delay compliant
ing a little and sow the peas with the
