An eastern poultryman with 40
hens found that when the litter in the
poultry house was clean the egg pro-
duction per day was 212. He left the
same litter six weeks and during this
time the eggs laid fell to 80 per day.
He then put in clean litter and in z
weeks the egg yield went UP to over

KILLING COYOTES

The cooperative work in the exter-
mnation Of predatory animals in
North Dakota is being started. Bate
man and Gillings, who represent the
u"ited States Biological survey have
had conference with Director Rand
lett OF the North Dakota Agricultural
College, Extension Division. Due to
the limited funds the work will have
to be limited to sections where the
need seems to be the greatest, and
where the greatest cooperation is
offered. The funds for the work are
furnished jointly by the State of North
Dakota and by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
A great deal Of this work has been
carried on in Montana and other west
orn states. Very effective methods of
hunting AID trapping wolves and coy
otes have been worked out North Da-
kota will have the benefit of these
new methods. Extension Div. n. D.

come in heat when the first cool
nights come and will recur in heat
every 14-19 days until bred. A yearl-
ing ram can serve 80 to 40 ewes,
while year ond con cover so to IS.

My mother-in-law's sorrowful cry
concerning her son found a mourn
ful echo in my own heart 10
brought back 10 me all the morbid
thoughts / had had concerning
Dickys curious apathy toward the
world war. But the woman al
whose bedside 7 sat was old and
weak with illness. I must shield
that mother heart as far as lay with
in my power.
Why. I don't think anything is
the matter with Dicky." I said try

With her searching eyes upon me

What Did Richard Say?"
Yes"
What did he say to excuse him

My face flushed painfully. How

that her son had made her support

Of me. What did YOU tell him -
Her last words were almost a snarl

HUNTED TO SOME PURPOSE
While With Exploring Expedi-
tIon In Australia.

While the cat has often served the
purposes Of science, it has generally
been not to her own comfort and FIRE
Quently with the loss of her life. One
cat in Australia, however, proved her
usefulness in the advancement of hu-
man knowledge without being CON-
PEELED to sacrifice herself on the altar
81 science.
This cat belonged to a member Of
an expedition into the interior Of Aus
:ralia. One day she brought to her
uastsr a strange little animal which
she had captured among the rocks.
The man handed the animal over to
the naturalist of the party. who saw
at once that pussy had made an i'm
portant discovery. The animal she
had caught was 4 new and apparently
rare species Of the tribe Of insect
eating marsupials belonging to the
great family of which the giant kan
karoo is the most conspicuous repre-
sentative.
