But 4 VoZLeg Ball Game

II you are near Campbell and Over
land streets some morning between
$50 and $3.50 o'clock and hear great
deal of yelling and cheering coming
from just behind provost guard head

It's merely the provost guards and
firenen playing volley ball
The two teams play almost every
morning and the rivalry is great.
Both teams are well matched and first
one aggregation gains the advantage
and then the other Meanwhile the
provosts and firemen on the sidelines
keep up a volley Of yslls and cheers
that may be heard for some distance,
helping their respective teams
along.

STATES RETAIN POULTRY Elk
TENSION MEN

Proof of the successor the campaign
TO increase poultry as a war emer-
gency carried on last year by the
United States Department of Agnctl-
ture, is shown by the fact that many
States are employing the depart
mcnts emergency extension poultry
men to continue the work this year,
Recently representative of the de-
partment visited eight states-Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South
Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Illinois-and found that in six of
them the State colleges are planning,
if finances permit, to retain the men
originally placed there by the FEEDER
al department. The situation, the
representative says, seems to indl-
cate that the State officials have been
convinced of the strength and value
of these men to such an extent that
they are making a great endeavor
where funds are available to keep
them. This is true not only in the
states mentioned, but in many other
states where the Federal department
is now conducting cooperative eX
tension work. In practically every
state the directors seem to feel that
the results are such, and the demands
for the work so urgent, that they
dare not drop it unless compelled to
do so on account Of financial condi-
tions. In some states that heretofore
have never carried on poultry extern
sion work to any great extent, they
have been led to see the importance
of it, and will continue such activi-
ties either with the Federal depart
ment or with their own funds in the
future,

SEES PICKWlCK AS JOHNSON
Famous Character Was sketch
of the Great photographer.

A discussion has arisen between
e. r. Thompson in the Nineteenth Cen
fury and writer in the Toronto Mail
and Empire as to whether Dickens
famous character of MIR. Pickwick"
is an adaptation of the personality Of
DR.. Samuel Johnson. The magazine
writer holds that this is the case; that
the novelist was inspired by James
Boswell's Life Of johnson" and that
the alleged plagiarism is proved by a
certain Characterization of PickWiCk
which comedies almost to word with
son.
The Toronto writer believes IL
Dickens did copy his character from
the noted photographer he did II un.
consciously and without any attempt
to steal the fruits Of Boswell's writing.
1t Is admitted that there are many
points of resemblance between Pick
wick and Johnson. Both were rather
portly, burly men. They had n com
mon weakness for the use of resound-
ihb Nllh ulSIlillcu SptSCHb botli idu
little difficulty in summonlng immense
reserves of dignity to suppress the i'm
pudent or the fippant, and both had
great hearts.
But" says the Mail and Empire
writer, tive have not the Imagination
to picture Doctor Johnson disporting
himself on skates after the fashion of
Mr.. Pickwick, and there is a sort Of
kindly credulity about the latter that
we find distinctly lacking in Johnson.
Moreover, we never suspect Mr.. Pick
wick Of being bully, although it Is
to be admitted that when he orders
the skates of Mr.. Wrinkle to be re-
moved he shows Johnsonian stern
ness and Impotence with pretense."

Hints On How To Make Poultry Raising 4 Success
GIVE HENS MASH FEED

1t is the practice of large per-
centage of the most successful poul-
trymen to feed part Of the daily
grain ration ground, says a Depart
ment of Agriculture bulletin. Most OF
them feed the ground grain mols-
tened with either milk or water, al
though some feed dry. A fowls glz-
zard is capable of grinding all kinds
of grain, but it is generally consider
ed to be more economical to have a
part of the grinding done by steam
or water power. The soft-feed idea,
however, must not be overworked. A
beginner often reasons that 1t Is
cheaper for the miller than for the
fowl to grind the grain; but the pow
erful muscles of the gizzard are there
to be used, and experience has shown
that the balance of power OF func-
tons in the fowls economy makes the
vigorous exercise of the gizzard be-
neficial. When feeding moistened
ground feed have it a comparatively
dry, crumbly mash, and not thin
slop. Give what they will eat readily
in Is or 20 minutes.

LITTLE KNOWN OF ST. MARK
Facts as to History of Evangelist Have
Been Lost In the Passage
Of Years.

st. Mark, the evangelist, is believed
to have been born Of Jewish parents,
deriving their origin from the tribe Of
Levi. He Is also thought to have been
sisters son" to the apostle st. Peter,
though some have COMPOUNDED him
with John, surnamed Mark, sisters
SON. to st. Barnabas. He was prob
ably converted by st. Peter, and was
his constant attendant in his travels.
He Is additionally said TO have found
ed the church In Aqulleia and there
to have written the gospel which bears
his name. St. Mark suffered on April
%, though the certain year of his mar
tyrdom is not precisely determined by
the ancients. St. Marks symbol IS the
lion, because he has set forth the royal
dignity of Christ; or, according to
other writers, on account of his begin
ming with the mission of st. John the
Baptist, which is figured by the lion;
or to a legend that was popularity be-
lieved in the middle ages, that the
young of the lion was born dead, and
after three days was awakened by the
voice of its sire symbolical of the res

which have started to mott and have
stopped laying.
In culling the flock remember that
it is safer to depend upon the agree
ment of a combination of several
characteristics than to select by any
one alone. With this in mind, Gull
hens that are sick, weak, lacking in
vigor, inactive, poor eaters, molted or
noting; those with small, shriveled,
hard, dull-colored combs; with small,
puckered, hard, dry vents; with
thick OF coarse, stiff pelvic bones,
pelvic bones close together, small
spread between pelvic bones and rear
end of keel, and full, hard, small alb
domen. In breeds with yellow skin
and shanks, the discarded hens
should also show yellow or medium
yellow shanks and yellow beaks.
Save hens that are healthy, strong,
vigorous, alert, and active; good
eaters; not molting or just beginning
to mott in September or October;
with large, moist vents with large,
bright-red combs; thin, pliable pelvic
bones well spread apart, wide spread
between pelvic bones and rear end
of keel, and large, soft, pliable alb
domen. In breeds with yellow skins
and shanks, the hens saved should
also show pale or white Shanl5s and
pale or white beaks and vents.

PLENTY OF PROFIT FROM
GOOD FOWLS

The story of Reuben Lowe, OF
North Shapleigh, Me-, illustrates the
possible profits from poultry keeping
where careful management is prac-
ticed. During 1913 this poultryman,
who devotes only part of his time to
chicken raising, kept $50 birds, which
paid him a profit over feed cost of
more than $1,000, equivalent to 81
a bird. Included in this amount are
the sales of few eggs for Matching,
about 80 cockerels sold for breeding
purposes at $3.50 to SIS each, as we'll
as the market eggs, which were dis
posed of in large quantity. Mr.. Lowe
keeps White Wyandottes of strain
that wins in the show ring when
judged according to either the
Standard of Perfection or utility
standard.
One pen of 20 pullets owned by this
Maine poultry raiser produced eggs
as follows: November, 1918, Alb;
December, 1918, AIS; January, 1919,
$50; February, 1919, 1926; March,
1919, 456; total of 1903 eggs, aver
aging 9965 eggs per bird in five
months.
1t pays to keep poultry of this
kind, and growers everywhere are
coming to realize that there is more
money in keeping better fowls and
feeding them properly balanced IA
tions than in wasting time with in
ferior birds.
The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1919-07-09

There are two classes Of farm foW1
those that are parasitic on flock
profits, and those that are profitable
To bounce the boarders from the
flock and encourage the increase and
betterment of the profitable biddies
are tasks of basic Importance which
confront every poultryman. With
feed high in price and poultry pro-
ducts comespondingly valuable, it is
of maximum significance to get rid
of the worthless and increase the
worthy birds in every farm flock, de-
clare United States Department of
Agriculture specialists.
Culling serves three purposes. 1t
insures that the feed will be consum-
ed by the profit-producing hens. 1t
makes it possible to save those best
suited for breeders, both because of
their better production and their su-
perior strength and vitality, which
enable them to stand up under the Sc
we're strain Of heavy laying 1t pro-
vides more room by thinning out the
Stacker hens.
Culling should be continuous
throughout the year. 1t should con-
sist of wedding out, when discovered,
any hen which is sick, very thin or
emaciated, or which shows evidence
of non-production, weakness or poor
vitality. The entire flock should be
given a careful and systematic in
spection and culling once year and
preferably several times. The hens
should be handled individually and
gone over carefully with the object
of separating the workers from the
shirkers. From the class of better
producers it is desirable to pick out
as many of the best as will be needed
for subsequent breeding. These
hens should be banded or otherwise
marked so that their eggs may be
saved for Matching purposes. The
inferior fowls should be marketed as
soon as possible.
w Hcll q Single systematic CullllS IS
made, the best time for such work is
in August or September When it
is easier to form a close estimate of
the value of the hen as an egg pro-
Queer, as well as to weed out the
improbable birds Hens which show
indications of laying at this time are
those which on the average have been
the better producers also, that the
better producers during the first lay
ing year are those which will be the
superior yielders in subsequent years.
Hens showing indications Of having
been good producers throughout the
year should be retained for the next
year regardless of their age, but rela-
lively few hens will prove to be pro-
fitable producers beyond their second
laying year if they are of the heavier
breeds, such as the Plymouth Rock,
Rhode Island Red, Wyandotte, or
Orpington; or beyond their third lay
ing year if they are of the lighter
breeds, such as the Leghorn. Addi-
tional culling during July is also de-
Sirahle in order to eliminate hens
