POULTRY FEEDING A Y

White Leghorn pullets on the gov
eminent farm at B~eltsville, Maryland,
consumed on the average 20 pounds
of grain as scratch feed and 26 pounds
of mash a total of 81 pounds. The
scratch FEED was two parts cracked
corn, one part oats. The dry mash
consisted Of 8 parts cornmeal and one
part beef scraps. They produced an
average of 147.4 eggs during their
pullet year, which proved that eggs
can be pr6ftably produced on a farm
or in the back yard even with the hlsn
price Of leeds.
The heavier breed produce equally
as many eggs, but consume one-third
more feed. More eggs, however, ar
produced during the winter months
when eggs are high-priced, and at the
end of the laying season the fowl
dresses nearly double the amount or
table poultry. These facts shouiu not
be overlooked in the selection of a
breed for either farm or home use.

A QUESTION
or ETIQUETTE

President Wilson often hurries from
the White House to the Office Of some
member of his cabinet or to that of
some bureau chief and goes in unex-
pectedly or on very short notice. He
does this because it is more economical
of time than a more formal course
would be and also because it serves to
somewhat break the monotony of his
busy day.
If you were a clerk in the Office of a
bureau chief, a newcomer in Washing
ton, and therefore unfamiliar with the
customs and etiquette of official life,
and the chief executive should drop in
suddenly and Unexpectedly some day,
wouldn't you be ratified and "habber-
gasted"? The chances are that most
people under the circumstances would
and it is doubtful if many would ac-
quit themselves as well as did a young
clerk in a newly created government
bureau, a stranger to Washington and
it's ways.
While this young man was busy In
the outer Office not long ago the pres
ident stepped in and announced that
he wished to see the director of the
bureau. 81 am sorry, Mr.. President"
said the clerk, somewhat excited, "but
the director just at this moment is
very busy, Won't you have a chair?"
Mr.. Wilson sat down. Then the
clerk recovered his self-possession,
hunted up a newspaper. "Have you
read it?" he asked as he offered it to
the caller. The president smiled and
took the paper. AS the young man
backed away he thought of one more
thing. Flows Mrs. Wilson," he ask
ed, but before the president could say
anything in reply one of the secret
service men who had come with him
opened the door of the directors pri-
vate office and announced the pres
ence of the visitor from the White
House.

A INT V CROP

Abruzzi rye as a combination win
ter cover crop and grazing crop for
the South has no equal. Planted in the
cotton fields Immediately after the first
picking, this rye Immediately makes 4
heavy growth, and by December o.
January is ready for grazing. Oluma-
rily two or three months grazing can
be had before time to pillow under the
rye for spring planting of other crops
Two purposes are thus filled: First, a
cheap and nutritious green crop is pro-
vided for the cattle during the winter
months; and second, a cover crop pro-
tects the land from washing and leacn-
ing by hard rains and ~conserves the
fertility of the soil.
For cover crop purposes only,
Abruzzi rye is the most valuau.e 49,.
we have for light lands and Tor con-
ditions where leguminous crops will
not thrive or where the land is re-
quired for spring planting before the
clover crops havea ttained full growth.
Vetches %clovers, and other leguminous
crops are also goou for W. crop pur-
poses, but the fact that these crps in
the south do not make a heavy winter
growth before time for blowing makes
| them of less value than a heavier, ear
lier growing crop. Compared to native
varieties of rye, Abruzzi makes at
least twice as much cover crop growth.
After many years of experiment on u
own farms and from experiments con
Quoted by hundreds Of the largest far
mers all overt he south, we are con-
WINGED that Abruzzi rye is the best
winter crop for general purposes in
the south. 1t is easy to plant, grows
on all kinds of soil, thrives on the poor
est sandy soils where other crops fail,
requires no incubation, makes a heavy
early growth, conserves humus in the
soil, prevents teaching and washing Of
soil by the winter rains. and restores
plant food to the soil-these are the
chief advantages of Abruzzi rye as a
winter cover crop.-D. R. Cocker, in
The Progressive Farmer.

got along almost as well in q business
way with little learning. If he judges
his boys needs by the standard of
training necessary in his own younger
days he forgets that he lives in anoth-
er generation; he does not know that
the stress of competition has intensi-
fled, and that what was once ample
preparation is considered semi-ignor-
Inc today.
Once the old musket was sufficient,
but it was considered very poor de-

A DOG POLICE STATION

New York has a police force of dogs.
The Police department has built a sta
ton for them on Ocean Parkway. Two
dozen canine policemen a be accom-
modated there. A hospital has been
built, too, where any dog that is i'll can
be isolated and treated by veterinary
doctors.
In the force there are twelve full
grown police dogs and nine puppies.
They are Belgian shepherd dogs for
the most part and some of the German
shepherd variety. It takes fourte~4
policemen to train and exercise these
dogs. The training is done mostly at
night. Every policeman goes out with
a dog comrade, and the two patrol the
beat together.
The police dog wears a leather muz-
zle which permits it to park, but not
to bite. 1t is taught to axe n side Of
a row of houses, while he policeman
takes the other. 1t learns to search
field, hedge and bush where there is
open ground nd to go into the area
ways and back yarus of houses. If it
finds any one suspicious, it barks to
call the policeman. If the suspicious
person tries to get away, the dog
Jumps on him or pens him in a corner.
The animals are large and powerl-
and often travel twenty-five or -..4rty
miles at night in their quest back and
forth, in and out during the seven
hours of patrol teaching that is given
them.
Early this year there were many
tramps anu criminals hanging around
the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. Sew
erl police dogs were sent out there and
started to patrol. They soon rounded
up all the loafers and suspicious char
acters and made the streets as safe
as at midday. One of them chasde and
arrested a thief who tried to steal a
motor car. The dog did not injure the
man, but overlook him and held him
till the policeman came up and made
the arrest. The record of this went
on the official file at police headquar-
tiers to the dogs credit.
The Mulberry street police station,
however, has a yellow mongrel dog
which the patrolmen would not ex-
change for any high-bred foreign dog
in the parkway, seven years ago this
dog, half starved, was picked up on the
street by a policeman and became the
mascot of the station. 1t has won a
hero dog medal" from the League fo1
Animals by saving the life Of a six
year-old girl.
The child was playing in the street
one day and ran into the charcoal bra
zier of a peddler who was selling chest
nuts on the curb. The brazier upset
and in an instant the girls skirt was
ablaze. The dog heard her cries, rar
out in the street after her, Knocked
her down, and tore the blazing skirt
from her body so quickly that she
was not injured.
The yellow mongrel, with its medal
is now one of the favorites of the East
side. 1t is a true and valiant member
Of the police force and surely deserves
to be mentioned with the others.-Bar-
barry Grifiths, in Queens Gardens.

Champ Clark, speaker of the house
of representatives, is no friend to dress
suits in warm weather. At President
Wilson's dinner to the japanese mis-
sion the other night everyone, conform
ing to the usual custom at such occa-

who seldom wears anything but a palm
beach during the summer, perspired
freely in his conventional garb and felt
even hotter than he looked. 81 told

HOW GEN. FUNSTON
BROKE A STRIKE

In 1893 Frederick Funton set out for
Alaska on a commission to collect boz
tanical specimens. Today the trail
over Chilkoot Pass is familiar, but
that time it was known only to Indy
guides and a few daring miners VINO
had followed its devious ways. Fun
ston with two companions went up the
pass and over to the Yukon. One in
cident of the trip he describes in his
own picturesque language as follows;
The Indians carried the load while
we dragged the empty sleds. The
snow fell necessarily for five days, and
it lay along our route from five to fifty
feet deep. Day after day we wallow-
ed and struggled on as we worked our
way gradually upward to the summit
of the range. One cheerful little d.
version occurred on the second day.
The low browed chief packer, who
seemed to have charge of the other In
dams, threw his load into the snow and
announced that unless his pay was ma
terially increased, he and the other
packers would get themselves back tc
the village and thus leave US in Q
pretty pickle.

all day, and without thinking what
might be the consequences of such 9
move, | showed the muzzle Of a cooked

The question is raised whether the
action of the authorities in certain
rural sections in allowing children to
stay away from school to follow agri-
cultural pursuits is not working more
harm than good. Many children have
been excused from school to work on
farms as a patriotic service but, as a
recent issue of the Child Labor Bulle-
tin remarks, such patriotism IS rather
short-sighted.

of the MaeLean Kilties of America, a
battalion composed of Americans and

NO

Unhappy, he who knows the right,
Yet for it is afraid to fight,
Yet worse is he, who'll side with wrong
Because he thinks the foe is strong;
That man has little soul within
His breast, who'll compromise with sin.
