TR0UeHS USED FOR FEEDING
%Domlneerlng Fowls Keep TlmId Ones
5aek-Best to Scatter Grains In
Deep, Clean Litter.

There are domlneering hens in ev-
cry flock which keep the tlmid ones in
a constant state Of fear and subjec-
ton. When food is given In a trough
where the hens can eat their fill, the
domineering 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 iOck-which is always un-
desirable.
The way to avoid It is not to feed
in troughs entirely, but to feed pretty
largely Of dry grains, cracked grains
and seeds, and scatter them in a deep,
clean litter that compels every hen to
hunt and scratch for her share, thus
giving each one an equal opportunity.

ties Of the Ricebird

The bobolink, or ricebrd, is common
songster in the Eastern regions of our
country. 1t winters in Central America
and the West Indies. Up to a short time
ago the bird was excluded from our West
orn States because, being a frequenter OF
damp meadows, it could not cross the in
tervening arid belt. But the progress in
irrigation extended the bobolink's area Of
habtation. We now find the ricebird almost
close to the Pacific. Curiously enough, the
return journey from its winter quarters
follows the old route, i. e., the Eastern
States, the birds having evidently not yet
learned short cut across New Mexico.

THERE are certain critical moments
in human life in which the demand
for emotional reaction is so tremen-
dous that the mind cannot respond to it.
The effect ordinarily is to numb those sec
tons Of the brain which have to do with
feeling, leaving only the minds recording
faculties at work. Something like that
evidently happens when man is about
to 90 into battle, TO judge by the following
description written by an American who
Joined the Allied forces and went into the
front line trenches in France. The de-
scription is from "0ver the Top" and
Arthur Guy Empey, who wrote it, lived in
Jersey City until six months after the
Lusitania was sent to the bottom, when
he decided TO go to war. Storming a
trench is like gambling with death with
the odds against you. And just before the
signal to go Tommys companions whisper

on a German trench, supposedly silenced
by an eight day bombardment, that he re-
ceived the wounds which incapacitated him
for further service. Out of twenty who
went out on the party three came back.
Empey spent day and half, wounded in
three places, in shell hole in No Mans
Land, was found there after charge from
the Allied bands and was sent back of the
lines, where he maraged to fight winning
fight against death.

How the Buffalo Got

"Presumptuous man, runs the legend, eaten
