COSTLY CHIMES FOR CADETS
Big Set Of Bells 10 Being Made for
Chapel at United States Military
Academy at West Point.

What is said will be the most costly
chime of bells in America and one Of
the most musical sets In existence Is
now being made at the foundry Of the
Meneely Bell company Of Troy, N. Y,
for the massive tower Of cadet chapel,
Rev. III. p. Silver, chaplain, at the
United States military academy, West
Point, as the gift Of Mrs. James NJ.
Lawton, in memory of her father the
late. Maj. Gen. Robert Anderson, who
was graduated from the academy in
1925. and whose brilliant command of
Fort Sumter at the outbreak Of the
Civil war has thrilled millions of read
ers Of American history, says the
Watchman-E Examiner
There Will be II bells In the chime,
the largest Weighing nearly two tons
and measuring SO inches Mt It's mouth.
The cadet chapel is Of stone, quarried
from rock found on the military
grounds, and cost to build about hnrf
million dollars. It's commanding po-
sition on the hill back from the Hud-
son river makes an ideal place for
bells, and the patriotic airs from the
chime will sound throughout the beau
tiful highlands, In the midst of which
the military academy is situated and
prove a source Of inspiration to the fu-
ture generals Of the United States
army that will always linger with them
pleasantly.

GOOD POWDER FOR CHICKENS
Effective Remedy for Parasites May

(By C. s. ANDERSON. Colorado Agri-
cultural College. Fort Collins.)
The following homemade insect
powder is effective, cheap, easily made
and will retain its strength for long
period Of time If boxed and put away
In dry place:
Mix one-fourth of a pint of cresol
and three-fourths of pint Of gasoline.
To this mixture stir in gradual just
enough plaster Of paris to take up the
liquid. For this amount of liquid 1t
will take about two and half pounds
Of plaster of paris.
Spread out thin on n paper. When
thoroughly dry screen carefully, and
1t is ready for use. II strong crude
carbolic acid is available, it can be
used instead of cresol and will make
q still more effective powder.
To apply the powder, shake from O
baking powder can with a few small
holes punched in the lid. The first
application should be followed by a
second in four to six days to kill the
ice or mites from the Unmatched eggs

P0RP0ISE FISHERY IS OLD
One Of Least Known industries Has

teras for 200 Years.

One of the oldest and least known
industries In America is the porpoise
fishery which has been operated from
Cape Hatteras In North Carolina for
about 200 years. 1t should attain an
unusual prosperity In the next few
years, for the bureau of fisheries is
urging more general use OF porpoise
hides in place Of cowhides. 1t is an
excellent leather, and could undoubt-
eddy be used more widely.
Heretofore the most valuable prod

which is extracted from the jaws Of
the porpoise, and Is worth about $40

is also valuable. Attempts to manu-

It Is probably the only place in Amer
lea where this has ever been done
successfully. During the fall, winter
and spring many porpolses are seen
of the South Atlantic coast, and at
Hatteras they come within 6. few hun
dred yards Of the surf. They are
taken by spreading seines about 200
yards outside the surf lines. AS soon
as the porpoises have come inside the

PROPER GROUND FOR CHICKS
able to Their Growth Than Others
Keep Land Sweet.

Chickens are like some plants-they
do well on any ground with proper
care, but certain soils are much more
favorable to their growth than others.
Tainted ground causes many diseased
chickens. A growing crop purifies the
ground. The roots of the green crop
reach down and utilize the droppings
which otherwise would remain on the
ground and make 1t unfit for poultry
run. There is such difference in
soils that one cannot definitely say just
how many chicks may he kept for a
certain length Of time on a certain plat
Of ground. A sandy soil with south
slope will carry chickens longer by
far than heavy clay soil.
A good plan to keep the ground
sweet for chickens is to have two or
more lots, and give the chickens the
run Of these alternately.
On the grounds Of the Maine agri-
cultural experiment station, the sys-
TEN Of cropping is as follows: First
year, chickens; second year, a hoed
crop, such as beets, cabbage, man.
colds or corn; third year, seed down
to timothy and clover, using oats or
barley as a nurse crop; fourth year,
chickens again. When the land can be
spared, 1t is left in grass the fourth
year, and the chickens are not put on
it again until the fifth year. The crops
mentioned are all useful in furnishing
green food for the chickens at different
seasons Of the year.

people, and engaged In that industry In
a pretentious way. A bargain was
struck.
''Isn't it wonderful !" jubilated Joe
to wife and mother-in-law on his arri-
val at Moorside little later. Il got
six thousand dollars for my collec-
ton and half that year to ride once
to the studio grounds each day and see
that the animals are well cared for.
Just to think Of itl-they won't be
starved or i'll treated. You see, folks,
my menagerie fad hasn't turned out
so bad an investment, after all !"

GOOD TIME FOR EFFICIENCY
Crime to XIII Laying Hen and Also to
Keep Nonlayino Ones or Sur
plus Male Fowl.

1t is almost crime this year to kill
a laying hen and also to keep a non
laying one or a surplus male bird.
This is a time for efficiency in the
poultry yard as everywhere else.
There should be study, extra care, the
maximum production of poultry meat
and eggs, the wisest rationing, the
thorough elimination of waste.
All this is especially important on
the farms of the country. There is a
great deal Of waste on most farms.
Poultry can take care of good deal
of it. There Is a scarcity of meat of
nearly all kinds. 1t takes good while
to grow beef. but poultry can be quick

Nitrooen From Air.

The production of nitrogen from the
air In Germany, which was only 10000
tons In 1913 has been so successful
that 100000 tons were so produced In
1915, and II is expected that 100000
will be produced this year. According
to the Frankfurter Zeitung, the cost is
only six cents kilogram.
