THE TROY POUND

Recently there have been put to
THE OASIS several inquiries about
the difference, if any between pound
troy weight, and a pound avoirdupois.
There is difference, and well post
ed friend has given this newspaper
the formuls, as follows:
The grain is the basic unit in both
weights, and there are 4S0 grains in
the troy ounce, and twelve ounces in
the pound; while there are 444 3-S
grains in an ounce avoirdupois, with
sixteen ounces to the pound; So the
pound troy has $3.50 grains, while the
pound avoirdupois has 1000. The
troy ounce is about 10 per cent heavier
than the avoirdupois ounce, while the
pound avoirdupois outweighs the
pound troy by trifle more than II
1-2 per cent.

BOYS AND GIRLS JOIN CLUBS
First Step in Organization Usually
Is to Get Support of Business
Men of Community.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Poultry associations are
usually the Outgrowth of pioneer work
in organizing boys and girls into poul-
try clubs or of repeated efforts TO in
terest producers in better poultry
methods. In some instances, however,
leaders in communities have expressed
their desire to make an effort to es-
tablish for themselves a business or
side line that will add to their in
comes as individuals and likewise in
crease the property Of the commune
ty.
In such promising localities. the
first step in organization usually is
TO get the support of local business
men. In small towns many business
men own farms and consequently are
interested in agriculture, which in
turn benefits the various lines of bust
ness. At the same time their assist
ance is helpful in financing the asso-
citation. In fact this Is frequently &C
complished by inducing the business
mems association to contribute suit
able fund for standardized stock
which is to be distributed among the
farmers who join the association. Co
operation of that kind is usually OBJ
tanned easily if the business men are
shown the advantages of the Organiza-
ton and how the increased prosperity
eventually will benefit them.
Another plan that has proved TO be
satisfactory in 0vertOn county, Tenn,
is direct financial assistance from the
banks. In this case the banks adj
vanced 81 900 to be invested in breed
ing pens through the cooperation of
the poultry club agent and the county
agricultural agent. Each pen consist
ed of ten hens or pulIets and d male
bird which cost on an average $3.50 a
bird. The pens were placed with club
members in the various communities.
Each person who received a pen guar
anteed to return, after the first year,
20 fowls in payment for the original
ten hens or pullets furnished him.
Those 20 standardized fowls, together
with two selected male birds, were di-
vided into two pens and the next year

PROPER SHELTER FOR SWINE
II Is Essential That Buildings Should
Be Well Constructed and Keep
Hogs Comfortable.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Not only is it fashionable, but also 1t
is practical, to build hog houses in the
fall when farm work is not so pressing
and when the approaching winter de
mands proper shelter for the swine.
Specialists Of the United States de-
partment OF agriculture do not recon-
mend any special type Of hog house
as superior to all others. The style
which the individual farmer selects,
whether It be colony house, a central
type narrowing house, portable houses,
or simple shelters which provide sleep
ing quarters only, must be decided up
on by the farmer himself. 1t is essen
tial that the buildings should be well
constructed so that they viii exclude
both rain and snow.
Some houses will be provided with
wooden or cement floors, others with
dirt floors. Where dirt floors are in
stalled IL is recommended that woven
wire fencing OF good quality be

stretched about one or two inches IN
der the surface In order TO prevent
roofing. Furthermore, dirt floors
should be wetted down at frequent in
tervals to prevent the accumulation Of
dust, which is particularly injurious to
hogs where they have to breathe it
continually in their sleeping quarters.
The use OF crude oil is very helpful in
remedying this difficulty. The floor Of
the hog house should also be well
drained, particularly in the case Of
dirt floors, so that when a heavy rain
occurs the run-of water will be car
ried away instead of being centralized
within the hog house to form a mud
walloW.
The matter OF ventilation is often
overlooked in hog-house construction.
Facilities for air circulation are es-
sential, as In properly ventilated
houses there is much less danger Of
the hogs piling up and little, If any,
danger of them going out from the
houses in the morning reeking with
steam, conditions which usually are
present where the hogs are housed in
poorly ventilated shelters. 1t is also
essential, the department specialists
say. that the hog quarters be provided
with plenty Of fresh, bright, dry bed
ding which may be changed at frequent
intervals.

LIVE STOCK NOTES

Goats are of great advantage to q
pasture that is brushy.
Short rations and q laxative may be
used for slightly sick hogs.
Good teams have more to do with
good farming than most people realize.
Few farmers can afford to get along
without feeding a few hogs for mar
ket.
More teams should be raised to take
the place OF horses and mules now In
use.
Every farmer sooner or later must
replace his teams. Why not raise
colts to take the place OF old work

Pasture is very important for pigs.
Those who depend upon concentrated
feeds alone for pigs are apt to End

Pasturing the brood SOW and her lit
ter keeps them all in good health, the

In beautiful garden in the country
where roses grew and where there
were many other lovely flowers, one
day the lady who owned the garden
noticed the white spider.
HE was a beautiful white spider,
and she found him on a crimson poppy.
One Of the petals Of the poppy dropped
to the ground and il was on the very
petal where he was having a nap, so
that he fell with It. She saw that he
had fallen to the ground, which, Of
course, was only a very, very short
distance away, and she found, upon
picking him up that he was quite, quite
unhurt
she thought he would look very
lovely on a white rose so she put him
on one OF her beloved white roses
which was in full bloom He settled
down comfortably in its beautiful and
soft petals.
when she told her family about him
they would scarcely believe her.
q I will show you my white spider
she said. So they went out into her
garden which she loved above all
spider. True, he was white, quite
white. and he wss a very interesting,
lovely thing TO look at

him on the white rose her family told
her. He is like the little chameleons.

poppy the lady said.

white if we put him on a pink rose.
That will be as soft bed for him and
he will like it just as WELL suggested

''AI right said the lady and smiled
For she knew the spider would still be
a white spider even if he did leave the
white rose and go to the pink one.
"And she had told them, too, Of find
ing him on the crimson poppy. Still it
had looked so strange and unreal to
them to see the white spider on the
white rose.
The lady watched him as he caught
little flies for his dinner and his break
fast and his supper, and when the
family were sure that he was really a
white spider they let the lady take him
back to a white rose. for she thought
that was where he looked the IovelieSt
HE hadn't changed a bit by being
on the pink rose. His sides were a
trifie pink but they had always been
like that, and his body was white as
it had always been, so were his legs.
Sometimes the petals of the rose
would fall and the lady would find the
rose had fallen during the time she
had been away.
