Auto Fuel Forever

More than one autoist in Morgan
City and St Mary parish accustomed
to using gas engines have realized
that the only bugbear about the use
of combustion engines was the pos
sibility Of a shortage of the fuel
supply.
Such shortage came about dur.
ing the war and led to the so-called
"gasless" Sundays all over these
United States. Peace brought about
better outlook; yet there still is
the probability that some time in the
near future the utilization Of gaso-
line will be SO great that the "visi-
BILE" supply will entirely disappear.
Nature is kind, but not so album
dant that her products can be vast
ed without serious consequences.
There is general satisfaction, there
fore, that a satisfactory substitute
for gasoline has been found by gov
eminent agencies and that the pro-
duct will be marketed under the
name of Liberty fuel"
The government is confident that
this fuel will prove a success and
there is every probability that, grant
ing the government is correct in it's
diagnosis. the supply for autos will
be unlimited and never threaten to
disappear.
Thus the mind of men conquers
every new difficulty as It arrives.
In these days of Reconstruction"
it might be wise for congress to
reconstruct itself a bit.
For instance:
There could be created respon-
sible budget system for the hand
ling Of appropriations and revenue
measures.
Elimination of personal and local
legislation.
No pork and patronage.
Curtailment of the franking and
leave to-print privileges and thus
eliminate extravagant political abus-
es.
Elimination of unnecessary stand
ing committees.
More democratic organization of
committees, each electing it's own
chairman.
Adjustment of executive sessions
for committees, with the attending
secrecy.
Full publicity of all committee ac-
tivity.
Employees of congress to be plac
ed on public payroll, instead of
being paid out a "clerk hire fund"
But-Congress probably is in no
mood to overdo the reconstruction to
period. There are plenty of other
things to reconstruct, says congress.

METHODS OF HANDLING HENS
Labor-Saving Appliances Are of Value
on Poultry Farm-orchard Fur
nishes Range. %

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In general the simplest methods or
handling poultry are best, especially
on general farms, where poultry is
side issue, though such farms furnish
the bulk of the poultry production.
Labor-saving appliances are of value
on poultry farms, but are not always
practical on general farms. Women
and children can do most of the poul-
try work on a general farm and there
oy release the labor of the men for
other farm work On general farms,
place the poultry house convenient to
the dwelling house in order TO save
steps.
One house holding from 70 to 100
hens can be used to advantage, allow
ing the hens free range all the time.
An excellent arrangement is to nave
the house near an orchard. which fur
nishes good range for the hens. BY
allowing free range the hens will pick
up all the necessary green feed and
will also get a considerable amount
Of their grain feed. Keep large hop
| pers containing dry mash before the
hens constantly, SO that it will be neces-
sary to feed the scratch grains only
once or twice daily. Very little more
labor is required ia caring for flock
containing from 100 to 100 hens than
| is required for from 30 to 100 hens,
provided all the hens are kept in one
house AID have large free range.
A separate shed or a room in the
laying house can be utilized to advan-
| tage for Matching chickens with hens,

SILK AN INDUSTRY OF INDIA
One Million People in the Great East
ern Country Engaged in Its
Production.

There are 100000 people in India
engaged in the production of silk. Cat
erpillars and moths of the mulberry
silk industry of India are entirely do
mesticated creatures. The Indians
collect the cocoons spun by caterpil-
lars and allow them to hatch, an ex-
change states. The females are kept
until they lay eggs and when the cater
pillars are large enough they are placed
ON trees to feed. When tree
is stripped piece of cloth is hung
from limb and the caterpillars crawl
onto it and are moved to another tree.
Tasar or tussor silk comes from
China and Japan. Auga silk Is prod
uct of Assam. Fri silk comes from
caterpillars which feed on the castor
oil plant. 1t is of great value in In
dia, because 1t is the only silk that
can be spun from cocoons without kill
ing the insects in the cocoons and is
therefore the only silk that can be
worn by strict Hindu.

after the sermon had grown sorter

Poultry on Range Requires Less. Care.

Poultry on Range Requires Less, Care.
setting as many hens as possible at
one time this saves labor, as 1t takes
only a little while longer to care for
number Of setting hens than for one
hen. Confine the setting hens to their
nests and allow them all to come off
at one time daily. An incubator may
be used for Matching the eggs and the
chicks may be put under hens for
brooding, especially early in the sea-
son, when it is difficult to get hens to
set as early as is desirable to produce
early chickens.
Raise the chickens under hens, put
ting from 10 to % chickens with each
hen, and confine the hens to small
cOops placed on good green sod, or
a field of some growing crop whereby
the young chickens will have free
range on fresh land. A considerable
number of hens with broods of chick
ems can be kept in limited space
where the hens are confined to the
coops.
In sections where commercial hatch
cries exist the farmer can have his
eggs Matched there and thus save the
labor of Matching the chicks. These
chickens can be reared with hens,
or a stove brooder which will cover
from 200 to 400 chicks may be used to
good advantage. thereby saving labor
in feeding and caring for the chicks
and still allowing the young chickens
free range. BY the use of these corn
mercial hatcheries all the chickens can
be Matched at one time and the chick
ems can be brought out early in the
spring, at which time it is most profit
able to hatch and raise chickens.

MOTORS INSTEAD OF DOGS
Trip Over the Cascades in a Gasoline
Sleigh Was Distinct
Success.

A spectacular trial trip was recently
made across the Cascades in a motor
sleigh, and number of photographs,
taken at various stages of the journey,
are reproduced in Popular Mechan-
les. The achievement of the motor
sleigh was almost as amazing as that
of the first army tank, conquering, as
it did, all kinds of obstacles. Swimming
the surface of snowfalls, old or new,
the strange little vehicle broke its way
through primeval passes with never
stumble. The rescue of an automobile,
hopelessly stalled in the drifts of Sno-
qualmie pass. was mere incident in
it's progress. Crossing a deep gully on
a pair of hemlock poles was but one of
the days adventures. The intended
substitution of the motor sleigh for the
dog drawn sledges of Alaskas snow
bound post trails means more to the
people of that great territory than may
be generally realized. Jack London and
others have limned the malemute as
romantic figure; but the followers of
the trail know well he is never that 1t
is the elimination of much human hard
ship, as well as canine inefficiency, that
recommends the gasoline method.

Waldrop immediately con- cluded that the thief had preferred to steal new tire, and so had taken the Horse Shoe and replaced it with the extra hobby tread from the back of the car.
 Carl Anderson scratched out hobby tread" and wrote Horse Shoe" on the order, and sent MT. Waldrop back to the Paine and Mercy station for a new tire
 Arriving there, he was confronted by a tired mechanic in overalls, car rying the lost tire, and demanding, Shall I put it on the wheel or on the rack. sir?''
 Questioning revealed that in pass ing MT. Waldrop's residence early that morning on another call, the employee had noticed that the tire sold the even ing before was flat. Knowing that Mir Waldrop would need the car in the morning, he had made the change and hurried off with the tire to the station.

 T have been a republican all my life. I should like to remain a repub- lican, but l would trample any plat form that endorsed this treacherous scheme, and 1 would spit upon any platform that was silent on the sub Ject. The international bankers may monopolize everything else in the 'United States, but they can't monop- olize the right to organize a new po- litical party.
 MT. Hays cannot commit the repub- lican party to neutrality. Certain re- publicans don't want the party to take a definite position, because they know the democratic party is thoroughly or | ganized and that in every precinct in the United States. it is fighting for the league of nations.
 50 far as I'm concerned, it does not make any difference what the repub- lican party does, I know there1l be a party that will stand for American rights

IjNT|R|NC MECHANIC |S INNOCENT CAUSE
 OF M|X-UP IN TIRES

The 6so'clock evening whistle means nothing whatsoever to an employee of the Paine and Mercy service station, 31 South First avenue. He never sleeps and he simply craves labor, be it night or day. Here's the story.
 Yda Waldrop, secretary of the Mari copa Auto Trades association. bought d Horse Shoe casing at the Paine and Mercy establishment at 4 o'clock Fri day afternoon. The casing was mounted on one of the rear wheels and a U. & hobby tread extra casing placed on the rear. Mir. Waldrop drove off to spend the evening at Riverside park
 Returning home at l o'clock in the morning he parked his car in the driveway by his house, 1905 West Adams street and went to bed. Rising in the morning about S:30 o'clock. he found that his extra hobby tread was gone, and that his tools had been tempered with. The emergency brake was on tight and the clutch was in reverse.
 Hurrying down to Carl Anderson's office, MT. Waldrop put in a claim for stolen casing, tube and rim. Mir. Miller of the U. $. Rubber company made the adjustment and figured that 1900 miles was a reasonable deduction to make for new casing.
 Returning a little later to get the new casing from MT. Miller, MT. Wal drop asked casually, What do you think of my new Horse Shoe on the rear?"
 Something wrong with your eye sight this morning" Mir Miller re- torted, as he bent to examine the wheels. You haven't got any Horse Shoe tire on this car l. "Why l just bought one and put il
