Ing time, and 1t should be given imme'
date attention.. The udders Of heavy
milking ewes are likely to become In
famed and as result the eve may
have milk fever. Overlooking Of grain,
colds, chills, and lying on wet floors
are some of the causes Of this condi.
ton. When discovered, the ewes I'D.
der should be bathed with hot water
by means Of wooden cloths. After the
udder has been dried, It can be rubbed
with turpentine and lard, or with one
half ounce Of lead acetate dissolved In
one quart of water. The udder should
be kept wet with acetate for half o
day. 1t should be MIXED out thor.
oughly each time the application Is
made. 1t is also advisable to give the
eve a good dose Of epson salts as soon
as the trouble is noticed.

exhibit of these novel fowls was strik
ing. White HOudans are equally as
good in shape, size and laying quail
ties as the original notified variety,
which has won such fame as heavy
producer of large white eggs and as a
good table fowl at the same time. The
greatest drawback to the dark variety
as a table fowl has been its dark pin
feathers. This, however, is entirely
eliminated in the new variety and this
feature alone is sufficient to commend
the variety to the producers of table
fowls for certain markets.

WORK OF COMMUNITY CLUBS
sBetsey Ann Association" Of Brighton,
Illinois, Does Much to Boost
Little Village.

fBy p. @. HOLDEN, Former Dean Of
Iowa State College.)
Community clubs play an important
part In the development of civilization.
They present the greatest of oppor-
tunities for the cooperation Of town
and country to the lasting benefit Of
each. They enable the residents Of
the town and those Of the rural dis
tricts to get together and do things for
the welfare Of all that otherwise
would not be done.
This. arousing Of common interest
fin common interests brings the MEM
bers of the community closer together,
socially, industrially and economically.
In movements of this character every
small town should feel vitality inter-
ested, for 1t can extend its trade ter
ritory many miles, by uniting with the
farmers In community welfare work.
This work may take one form, or 1t
may take another, but the life Of any
community organization depends upon
having something to do that is worth
while.
BY the assistance Of farmers. the
town Of Brighton, Illinois, village Of
only 600 people, has worked wonders
in the way of community road build
ing.
For ten years the people of Brighton
have been joining hands with their
rural neighbors in cooperative work
that not only has bettered the whole
community, but has given the town a
commercial and educational standing
equal to that Of many cities ten times
sts size.
The. community organization. which
has thus united town and country,
bears the unique title of "The Betsey
Ann Association" 1t has given the
community q miles Of excellent roads.
q $4,000 accredited high school, a
5000 community building and a
nelghbOrhOod spirit which knows no
township line or corporate boundary.
The Betsey Ann association is incor-
porated. but not for profit. 1t has 1856
members, divided about equally be-
tween town and country, and its MEM
bership fee is only 25 cents. The exec
utive committee consists of nine MEM
bers, of which not more than five can
be residents of the town.
The first Improvement inaugurated
by the association was the purchase Of
a fire bell This bell was christened
by a telephone operator, Miss Nell
Flanagan. She gave 1t the name Of
Betsey Ann, which title has since
passed to the association.
During the second week of August,
each year the association holds a two
day picnic in large tent Concerts,
dramas and other forms of entertain
ment are given by local people from

GROW BRoILERs FOR MARKET
Early coekersIs Not Intended fec
Breeders Should Be fastened Up
and Sold.

Early cockerels, unless kept fee
breeding purposes, are best sold for
broilers or flyers.
On the average farm It Is not prac.D|
teal, because Of rush of work, to hatch
chickens extremely early. hence they
do not reach the market early enough
In the spring to bring the best prices.
The price, Of course, depends upon the
market and the demand.
Growing broilers for market Is a spe-||
cialized industry and Is not always||
profitable. On the large markets broll-
ers are classified as small, medium and
large. They weigh from three-quarters|
of pound to pound and one-half||
each.
Young chickens as sold by farmers
are frequently not properly fattened.

mum returns. Combining brollers In /
crates holding from six to eight birds
and feeding an exclusive diet Of welt
mash, composed of cornmeal and
wheat middlings mixed with sour milk
or buttermilk the consistency Of bat-|
ter, gives best results, but brollera|
thus fattened lose weight quickly
when shipped alive.
For the farmer this method isI
usually impracticable. A better method T
is that Of combining young cockerels IN I
groups Of % to 80 in a small pen where
their exercise is restricted. Feeding the
birds, cracked corn helps the quality Of
the meat and increases the weight con-
siderably.

Mans Eyes and AnImsls.

Aside from the monkey, man is the
only animal having what we call binoc-
ular single vision-that is, he can tell
not only the direction Of an object, but
he can estimate fairly accurately its
distance. This is because both Of his
eyes point at the same object at the
same time, like two range finders. 9th
er animals do not concentrate their
gaze In this way. Their eyes are set
more nearly at the sides of the head,
so that they see not only forward, but
backward for short distance. Man,
on the contrary, sees clearly only the
object at which he looks directly

Books on q Shelf.

Books are frequently ruined through
careiessness This is less In the han
ding often than upon the shelves.
Books should not be packed tightly on
a shelf. 1t ruins the back and causes
them to tear loose with the strain Of
getting In and out Often it forces the
leaves to sag to the shelf when pushed
unduly. 1t Is just as bad for books to
be too loose on a shelf, as they warp,
and the spreading leaves encourage
dust. A bookcase with the contents
at every angle is not a pleasant
sight There are some housekeepers
who think yearly busting Of the
books at housekeeping time sufficient
This is bad enough when they are
kept under glass. When on open
shelves It means ruin to valuable
