MOlding Hens.

"The Missouri hen needs extra
feed and care during melting"
says H. l.. Kempster, professor
of poultry husbandry Of the
Missouri College of Agriculture.
AS she rarely lays at this time,
the feeder is likely to feel that
less grain is needed but on ac-
count of the greater exposure to
cold more feed is necessary to
supply the hens fuel needs.
Then, too, the work of producing
a new coat of feathers is as
great a drain on the birds vital
ity as heavy egg production, per-
haps greater.
Feed literally on a ration con-
tanning more grain than usual
and be sure that plenty of sour
milk is available as it contains

GREAT ARMY OF
COAL MINERS
Coal Mines of the United States
Employ Over Three-Quar-
ters of a Million Men.

WIS VI q NAAAlAVlA NANNs
A greater number of men were
employed in the coal-mining in
dustry in the United States in
1914 than ever before. Accord
ing to G. E. Lesher of the Unit
ed States Geological Survey, the
total number of employees in
both anthracite and bituminous
mines for the first time exceed
ed three-quarters of a million.
This record was made without
sacrifice of efficiency, for al
though the average number of
days worked in the bituminous
mines was the smallest since
1896, except only 1908, and the
average output per man for the
year was the lowest in 5 years,
the average daily production by
each employee in 1914 was the
highest on record in bituminous
coal mining. This record is to be
attributed not so much to the
better character of the labor as
to the improved mining methods
and the increased application of
scientific management.
The number of men employed
in the coal mines of the United
States in 1914 was 1863 ,185. of
which number 1858 were en-
gagged in mining anthracite and
583,5O6 in mining bituminous
coal and Ignite. The average
number of days of employment
Of each man was 2O7 for the
united States, 1876 for bitumi.
nous and Ignite, and 245 for an,
thracite. In the bituminou,
mines the yearly average de.
creased from 1877 tons in 1918 t.
ia tons in 1914. The daily
average increased from s.61 Il
S.71 tons. The average tim,
made at the anthracite mines !,
1914 was exceeded only by tn,
records of 1911 (246 days) an,
1918 (257 days.. The averap,
yearly production of anthracit,
by each employee decrease,
from $50 short tons in 1913 /,
sos tons in 1914, owing to tn.
few days worked. The sait
output per man was 2.O6 tons. +,
slight gain as compared witt
2.O2 tons in 1918.

FOR
HOME BUTCHERING
Select and Begin to Feed Now
and Kill Late in December.

ana All Ldtc III OCSSinD~A'
Crisp, frosty mornings warn
us that hog-killing time is COM
ing. The farmer is entitled to
the best pork that can be pro-
duced. 1t is better not to wait
until the animals are fat, but to
select a few at once and feed
them especially for home butch
ering. They should have some
muscle-building material in ad-
dition to the corn, so as to get a
proper mixture Of lean and fat
meat. Oil meal, shorts, and
tankage are very good to add to
corn and wheat may well form
part of the feed, especially this
year when there is so much
fieId-damaged grain on hand.
Select hogs that combine as
many as possible of the good
points of bacon and lard breeds
so that there will be reasonably
good sides as well as hams and
shoulders when the carcasses
are cut up. Keep the animals
selected growing rapidly but do
not let them get too fat, in order
to get the most desirable hams
and bacon cuts, even through
this method does not bring as
much lard.
One or two hogs may be killed
whenever meat is wanted fol
immediate use but the main sup
ply for the year should not b.
killed until late in December. Be
fore that time there is too much
danger from the warm weather
which causes so much loss o.
meat every year. Watch tn,
weather forecast and make spec
ial provision if you know a warn
spell is coming.
Kill more hogs than you nee,
for own use so that you will havD
some country-cured meat t
sell. Many people viii buy it il
preference to anything else, es
pecially if you establish a rep
utation in this line. If you liv
in Missouri, be sure to exhibi

the materials used in making
feathers. Beef scrap and oil
meal may also be fed if available
and a lump of copperas, iron

nut, should be put into the

SPAN OF LIFE
BEING HEIGHTENED
The Microscope Largely RespOn-
sibIe For Improved Con-
ditions.

Jan Leippersheim by name, liv-
ing in Holland, invented a crude
magnifying glass in 1908. An
ton Won Leuwenhoek, born in
Delft, this day 1852, improved
this clumsy toy and evolved a
compound microscope which has
become the most valuable sani-
tary tool yet devised by man.
That first microscope was as far
removed from the h~igh-powered
instrument of today as is the
modern American from the orig
inal caveman. Yet by this faul-
ty means, Leuwenhoek, natural
list, physician and botanist, dis
covered certain minute bodies
which he called 'little animals"
He made drawings of these and
today we know them for those
useful friends and malignant
enemies of man-bacteria.
We spend our days surrounded
by another world, a living world
of countless billions. invisible. to
the naked eye, silent, tireless,
destroying the living, consuming
the dead, useful in the sciences
and arts, yet often followed by a
train Of sickness, suffering and
death. A curious paradox this,
yet bacteria are at once the
greatest friends and the fiercest
foes of every living thing. Not
animals, as Leuwenhoek
thought, but vegetables, bacter-
ia consist of two classes, those
which prey on living things and
those which reduce to their orig
inal minerals, fluids and gases,
every dead thing which they at
tack. They are of various
shapes, round like marbles or
straight like little sticks. They
grow in clusters, chains, and in
pairs. They are ubiquitos. The
dusty air, the earth and its
waters, the interior of animals
and plants all contain them.
They cause the fermentation of
foods, they make cheese, they
produce disease and some of
them when killed and injected
into an animal protect it against
the very disease which they
would have produced if living.
Many of them live as harmless
creatures in the body of an ami
NAL for years, only to kill their
host when the opportunity pre-
sents. Their study has given
birth to a science, bacteriology,
one of the foundation stones of
public health.
Their mere presence does not
necessarily produce disease.
Recalling the parable of the
sower, some bacteria fall by the
wayside, some fall upon stony
places, and some fall in good
ground and bring forth the fruit
of suffering, perhaps of death.
A normal, temperate life, free

SOMEBODY STOLE
BARNEY'S PET CAR
With Signs and All, a Bold Thief
Drove the Maxwell into Oblivion
A WELL KNOWN VEHICLE
Had Crossed Continent Twice and
Was Prominent Figure in Many
Big Cities

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 20.-Local
police court annals contain many
story illustrating the carefree way in
which the motor car thief operates.
None, however, approaches the bare
faced impudence of the man who, a
few nights ago, stepped into Barney
Oldfeld's famous pet Maxwell tour
ing car and drove it away into obliv-
ion.
That any of the motor brigands
should deem is possible to purloin
Barney's car, staggers the imagina-
ton of the local cafe proprietor and
his friends. That the attempt could
be made successfully is indeed a blow.
Barney's car is probably the best
known motor vehicle in Los Angles.
On it the dean of the circuit chasers
has layished several varieties of
special finish and personal equipment.
With characteristic speed demon
modesty he has decorated it freely
with signs and legends. Barney

side in chaste gold lettering.
Such was the car the bold thief

er the loss of his cherished person

ever, that the car cannot be long hid

he himself would be able to pick out
his property, no matter how thorough
an effort had been made to disguise
it, Dire punishment is also in store
for the robber. 1t may even take the
form of personal violence.
"Why just think" coments the vet
eran. 81 bought that car in Ell Paso,
early in the spring. It's been as far
east as New York, as far into the
northwest as Tacoma and it's stopped
off in most points in between. It's
been tender for my race cars at every
big track in the country and its car
ried me around every day it wasn't
enroute by rail.
"Ive paid around $4,000 in express
and freight charges on it. ! just love
that automobile. Why Mrs. Oldfeld
wanted me to trade it in as part pay
ment for a 1916 Maxwell with winter
top. I wouldn't do it. ] bought her
the car she wanted and kept my own.
