unbind me for it is in my power
to do that myself. You go now,
dear little princess, for your mis-
tress will soon have need of you,
and these things must be perform

smiling departure Vivian was off,
winging her way through the bright
warm summer sunshine to the
castle of Govern All.
She flew straight through the
open window and alighted before
the ogre bowling gracefully to the
ground
"Ah, ha! and who are you who
dare to enter my castle without my
permission? Away with her, my
COLLINS, to the dampest. darkest
dungeon in the castle! She will be
killed with my wife and Fairy
Faith"

a staying hand. (She now realized
that the wand was giving her great
courage, and words she could never
have thought to use otherwise.)

Govern Ais expression and man
ner was quite different now. Have
no fear" said he. 81 will not harm
you. Let us make ready and go at
once to recapture my goblin"
In a few minutes all was ready
and they started, Vivian leading
the way. With a wave of her wand
she freed the goblin, and then. with
another wave, bound Helpfulness
to tree. The ogre wished to kill
her at once, but Vivian insisted
that it would be more torture to
starve her to death, and Govern
All finally agreed with her plan.
''My dear Destruction" said he,
grinning hideously and rubbing his
clammy hands together, "you may
have anything for which you ask
even to half of my power"
81 want none of your power"
she replied, "only free the fairies,
Hope and Faith and return Hopes

Govern All was furious but he
had promised to obey her wishes,
and in few moments the two
fairies appeared, and just as they
did so. Vivian touched the ogre
with her wand. and the hideous
COLLINS disappeared, and then
heard great noise, for Governor
AIS spells were breaking all over
the land, and in the ogre's place
stood a handsome young prince.

not my fault that I did these many
wicked things"

PART II.

Vivian hurried down the long
hall and staircase at the foot of
which the maid who had conducted
her upstairs waited.
"The ogre wishes to see you at
once" she said and was rushed in
to the room in which the ogre sat
waiting, his hideous COLLINS all
about him. He himself was terri
BILE to behold. He had long green
greasy hair and long clamy fin
gers, and was of enormous size.
Vivian drew back, turned pale, and
shuddered, and then took courage
as she remembered that the fairy
had said that she and her sister
must die if Vivian was not brave
and did not do her part towards
helping them. This Vivian deter
mined she would do. so she brave
ly faced the ogre who said in a
laundering voice:
"Ha! the very thing I needed to
wait on my wife, but | will have
little need of you now, for my wife
has given away the golden key
which unlocked the door to her
sisters prison and she and her Sis
ter will be drowned with millstones
tied to their necks in three days,
and you will be made one Of my

with these words the maid dragged
Vivian who was now PROSTATE into
the next room where she sought to
revive her
When Vivian came to herself she
was alone in the room and quickly

touched herself with her wand and
once more she was gowned i'm her
dainty white dress, and the articles
belonging to Fairy Helpfulness re-
turned to their owner who was now
unbound.

followed out of your garden is your
twin brother, who was stolen by the
ogre when you were both quite
small, and turned into butterfly.
Your parents grieved and begged
for him which was of no avail, and
they finally gave him up, but he is
now restoredsto you and your par

Then the lad, who looked quite
like Vivian, came forward and there

pings were ready and Vivian and
her brother started for home. Oh,
how glad the parents were to see
both of their own dear children
home again.
That night a grand feast was
held in each castle. one for the re-
turn of the two lost children and
the other for the return of Prince
Bravery from being an ogre to his
former self.

those days-they lived happily ever
after.

Dear Aunt MOlly-What was the
first thing that lived on the earth?
John Wesley Palsgroye.
Dear John-In the Bible, the first
thing it tells about living and grow
ing on the earth is grass, but now
days, the men who have studied
about the earth most, have come to
believe that probably the very first
thing to live was something so
small that the man who wrote
Genesis never had seen it. Be-
cause this funny little thing is
supposed to be the great grand
father of all the plants and all the
animals. and yet it is so small that
you have to have high powered
glass to see it. Usually the little
animal is a single ball like a drop
of water, but when he gets hungry
he turns himself into arm and
reaches out after something to eat,
and then when he gets his food, he
turns himself into mouth and
eats a good meal: but when some
thing that frightens him comes
along, he turns himself into legs
and runs away as fast as he can.

WHAT TO DO WHILE HEARING
THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER

Many boys and girls have been
wondering what they should do
when they play the Star Spangled
Banner in the picture shows and
different places, where it does not
seem just right to sing.
How many of you, who do stand
while it Is being played. get up with
the biggest effort, and as though
you were SO tried you could hardly
move? Instead. you should spring
to your feet at the first strains, and
show that you are as much a
patriot as the soldiers are.
Or how many of you who stand
while our national anthem is being
played, talk and joke or look all
around while you stand?
1t is such an easy little thing to
do, to really show our pride in our
country and our respect for our
national anthem by standing erect
and listening And yet it is some
thing that very few boys and girls
ever think of doing, isn't it? Next
time, try it.

METHODS OF PICKING
Suggestions Given as to Success
full Poultry Practices.
Much Depends on Whether Fowls Are
for Future Consumption or for
Immediate Use-FoWls Keep
Better II Not Drawn.

Dry picking and wet picking are
the two general methods used In dress.
ing poultry, depending upon whether
the birds are for future consumption
or immediate use.
Successful dry picking depends on
the proper sticking of the fowl" said
f. e. Fox Of the poultry department
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
'ege, "as the longer the bird Is left
after sticking, the harder the feathers
set. Dry picking takes trifle longer,
but If the sale of the fowl is to be de-
layed for any reason, as by shipment
or storing, 1t should be dry-picked.
"When the fowls are dry-picked
they are bled by thrusting a sharp
knife through the mouth until the jul
gular vein is pierced. Blood will i'm
mediately begin to flow from the
mouth. The brain is then pierced
through the eye. This loosens the
nerves that have control over the
feathers. After this portion of the
brain has been paralyzed the feathers
readily yield themselves to the hands
OK the picker.
There are two general methods of
dly-picking poultry, the bench method
and the string method. Commercial
ly, the bench method is generally pre-
ferred.
Poultry keeps better II it is not
drawn. The head should be neatly
wrapped in paper, and the feet left
intact.
IF the fowl is for immediate use, II
Ii trifle quicker to scald 1t and use
the wet method Of picking. In this
method the bloom is spoiled and tbs
bird will not keep so well. All scalded
fowls are Immediately drawn. In colo
weather one can send the birds almos
any distance by parcel post"

In order to make the most econOm-
cal gains 1t is necessary to have the
utility or heavy breeds of fowl. The
lighter breeds, as Leghorns, Minorcas,
Anconas, etc, do not, as rule, make
profitable gains in the fattening pen.
Cockerels of the breeds Of Rocks. Or
pingtons. Rhode Island Reds, Wyan-
dottes, Game, Dorkings, etc, are usu-
ally preferred. When a bird Is be-
tween three and four months of age 1t
makes the greatest gain when put in
fattening pen or crate. II the mar
ket demands heavy bird 1t would be
necessary to leave them on the range
little longer, as there is a limit to
the time that bird can be profitably
confined in the feeding pen.
The most economical gains are usu-
ally made the first two weeks of feed
Ing, and there is seldom much profit
in feeding longer than three weeks.

FROZEN COMBS AND WATTLES
ton Of Fowl and Dampness-
Closed Houses Are Bad.

Frozen or frosted combs and wat
ties are common at this season, wheth-
er you house your birds In closed build
ings or those with open fronts. Usu-
ally the birds in the closed houses get
the worst of 1t.
Freezing of the headgear is largely
matter of poor condition of the bird,
and dampness with sudden changes In
temperature. Now and then a healthy,
vigorous specimen, in good order, will
get frostbite from undue exposure, es-
pecially to freezing winds, but gener-
ally there win be no severe frostbite
under ordinary circumstances unless
the bird is out of condition from in
digestion, faulty nutrition, too much
handling, etc.
Exposure to severe cold winds when
headgear is wet with drinking water
Is common cause of freezing. For
treatment, thaw out the frosted parts
by rubbing with cold petrolatum then
apply mixture of one ounce of sweet
oil with one teaspoonful Of spirits OF
turpentine. Apply daily.
DO not take the bird into q warm
room. Warmth will cause trouble.
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1917-04-06
GATHER SPRING EGGS OFTEN
Those Intended for Matching Should
Be Kept as Near Temperature Of
SO Degrees as Possible.

During early spring eggs for hatch
ing must be gathered several times a
day until the weather gets mild and
warm. A chilled egg is no better than
an infertile one; in fact, it spoils much
quicker in the machine.
Eggs after gathering should be kept
at temperature as near SO degrees
as possible. Never allow them to re-
main in temperature below 40 de-
grees for any length of time as then
the vitality of the chick will suffer.
If they are allowed to remain exposed
to too warm temperature, or a great
~ varying temperature, the same
thing happens. They may hatch out
chicks all right, but the chicks will
never be robust. Leaving eggs in the
nest to be set upon and warmed up
several times during the day Is anoth-
er way to lower chick vitality.
Attention to these little details pays
well in the long run. Better hatch out
100 chicks with 100 per cent vitality
than 800 and raise only about one
third of them to a maturity of doubt
full vigor.

TR0UGHS USED FOR FEEDING
Domineerino Fowls Keep Timd Ones
6ack-Best to Scatter Grains in
Deep, Clean Litter.

There are domineering hens In ev-
cry flock which keep the timid ones in
q constant state of fear and subjec-
ton. When food is given in a trough
where the hens can eat their fill, the
domipeering hens keep some of the
others back and often eat twice as
much as their share, while the less for
tunate ones do not get enough. The
result Is both fat and skinny fowls in
the same fiock-which is always I'M
desirable.
The way to avoid 1t is not to feed
In troughs entirely, but to feed pretty
largely OF dry grains, cracked grains
and seeds, and scatter them In deep,
clean litter that compels every hen to
hunt and scratch for her share, thus
giving each one an equal opportunity
