MANY OLD LEGENDS OF EASTER

In a few remote places the legend fingers that the sun dances in the skies when it rises on Easter morning. Some of the Irish peasantry even now rise before dawn and go out to hill- top to watch the "sun dance," for it is said that those who do so will get their wishes.
 At one time this belief prevailed throughout the British isles. Herrick

Olive Tree introduced in
Golden State by Priests;
Mission Variety Popular

The ancient scrap between Minerva,
who gave the olive, and Apollo, who
bestowed the horse upon mankind, was
decided, as will be remembered, in
favor of the lady-the dispute being
as to which of the two gifts was the
more valuable.
To understand the reason for this
decision, one ought to live In the
Mediterranean region, where the olive
is vital factor in the lives Of the peO-
pie. They could much more easily
spare the equine quadruped.
Olive culture has already assumed
great importance in our own country,
In 1916 (the latest year for which fig.
ures are available) there were in Cali.
fornia S34,938 olive trees in bearing,
and 515,221 not yet old enough to yield
fruit. The states production in that
year was 100000 gallons of olive oil
and 100000 gallons of picked olives.
The olive tree was introduced in
California by Spanish priests, the first
grove being planted in San Diego in
1869. From those trees is descended
what is today the most popular variety.
the so-called Mission olive.

GRADUALLY ACCUST0M
LAMBS TO RICH FEED
Animals for Fattening Are Put
on Dry Pasture.
After Two or Three Days They Arc

Some Kind Is Advisable

Lambs bought on the market for fat
tening must be accustomed gradually
to rich green feed like rape, soybeans
or cowpeas, says the University of
Missouri College Of Agriculture. The
method commonly used by successful
feeders is to put the lambs on a COM
paratively dry timothy or bluegrass
pasture upon arrival at the farm.
Here they are allowed to rest and fill
up on grass for couple of days. An
abundance of good clean drinking wa
ter should be provided at all times.
After a day or two the lambs are
turned into the cornfield for about an
hour, following their morning fill of
grass. They are then returned to the
bluegrass or timothy pasture. This
operation is repeated for three or four
days, and the time the lambs are al
lowed in the cornfield is increased
about an hour each day.
1t is not easy to drive load or two
of lambs out of large cornfield, and

HINTS FOR The
POULTRY GROWER

When culling a flock Of hens at the
end of the laying season, there are al.
ways a few individuals that may be
classed as doubtful. Very often the
owner Of the birds allows sympathy
to interfere with good business. Ac-
cording to G. w. Hevey of the Uni
versity of Missouri college Of agricul-
ture, it is better to Gull bird that
may lay five or six more eggs only this
fall than to keep her all winter as an
absolute expense.
A hen may show the characteristic
body depth of three or more fingers
and yet may have but a one-finger
spread between the pelvic bones. This
means that the bird has stopped lay
ing but her period of non-production
hasn't been long enough for the body
depth to close up also. She has just
reached the point where she will be
kept at loss.
Sometimes a bird may exhibit the
desired characteristics of both good
body depth and Widespread pelvic
bones, yet her skin under the fluff
may feel tough and leathery. Such a
hen will invariably have coarse pelvic
bones and a coarse breast bone. She
may have had a period of production
during the summer, but her total for
the year would not justify retaining
her another season.
In culling the American breeds, the
Wyandotte, Plymouth Rock and Rhode
Island Red, one is apt to be confused
by the shank color test. The test is
not so reliable with these heavier
breeds as 1t is with Leghorns, for the
reason that when they become broody
a certain amount Of pigment is likely
to return to the shank. One must make
due allowance for this, and If the bird
is favorable in appearance otherwise.
1t may be profitable to keep her over
as a breeder for the spring season.
In general, then, the poultry keeper
when culling must not be Influenced
by any single factor, but must con-
slider all Of them. The more rigid the
culling the more capable Is the flock
management. 1t is usually safe to
market at least half of the total num-
Der of hens at the end Of the laying
season, replacing them with pullets.

POULTRY SUFFER FOR WATER
Lack 10 Detrimental to Health and
Has Indirect Bearing
on Productivity.

Allowing fowls to suffer, even for
short periods, for the want Of water
is not only detrimental to robust health,
but has an indirect bearing on pro-
ductivity. Green food in variety is
beneficial not only because it helps
slake thirst, but for its mineral salts
and its feeding value as roughage. For
this reason it should be fed In liberal
quantities, and pure water should not
only be always available, but in full
measure. Both stand for health and
productive values.

and departed along the passage lead
ing amidships. A moment later
heard the sound of dishes grinding to-
gether preparatory to being washed.
No better opportunity for action was
likely to occur, although the situation
was not without peril. l crept along
close to the side walls, lifted the latch
noiselessly, and slipped quickly within.
There was no light except a glimmer
Of stars through large after port,
but against this faint radiance she
stood vaguely revealed. Her first
thought must have been Estada, for
there was startled note in her chal-
lenge.
"Who are you? Why do you come
here?"
Speak low" I cautioned. "You
must know my voice."
"Geoffry Carlyle!"

hope depends on my remaining un-
known. You welcome me?"

with both hands outstretched.

sincerity. "Your presence gives me

We stood in silence, as Gunsaules
crossed the deck and inserted key
in the after stateroom door. Manuel
was grinning in full enjoyment, but
the expression on the face of Estada
was that Of grim cruelty. / felt my
hands grip like iron on my chair back
and my teeth clinth in restraint God,
but would have liked to grip the fell
low where he stood-all the bottled
up hatred in my soul struggling for
action. Yet that would only mean the
death Of all hope, and / turned my
eyes away from him and stared with
the others at the opening door.
Out into the full light Of the cabin
the woman came and halted barely a
step in advance of the steward, her
head uplifted proudly, her eyes on us.
Never before had I realized her beau
ty, her personality, as did then. Her
posture was not that Of defiance nor
Of surrender; she stood as woman
defending her right to respect, -sus-
tained by wonderful courage l
caught her glance, but there was no
recognition In 1t; not by the flicker
Of an eyelid did she betray surprise,
and yet in some mysterious manner a
flash Of intelligence passed between
us. It was all instantaneous, for her
gaze seemed to concentrate on Estada
as though she knew him as leader.
"You sent for me? For what?" she
asked, her Spanish clear and well
chosen.
ITO join us at meal" he answered
unmoved. 1T is better than to remain
alone"
'Betterl You must have a strange
opinion Of me to believe would sit
with murderers and thieves"
Harsh words, senorita," and Estada
grinned grimly. "Yet expected them.
There are many trades in the world
by which men are robbed. We only
work at the one we like best; nor will
I discuss that with you. However,
senorita, can say that we have taken
no lives In this last affair.""

there is always the danger of leaving
behind few which have strayed from
the main flock. To avoid this trouble,
fence off "sheep tight" plot of two
or three acres. In this plot grow
forage to be used gradually to accus-
tom the lambs to their regular forage
in the larger field. This plan will he
found very convenient.
The lambs will eat the lower blades
Of the corn and will learn to eat the
down" corn. However, they will not
become troublesome by breaking down
the stalks in order to get to the ears.
If sufficient food Is provided. If it is
desirable to pasture off the grain in
stead Of husking out the corn, it will
be necessary for best results to break
the stalks for the lambs. Just enough
stalks should be broken each day to
furnish grain to satisfy the lambs. If
too much is broken down at one time
it will be wasted.
'No one ever made sheep fat by
stinting them" 1t should be remem-
bered that as the fall season advances,
feed becomes scarce and unpalatable.
If the lambs are to be marketed as
fat lambs they should not be forced
to remain in the cornfield too long
without some additional feed. This is
particularly true where rape is not
available. 1t is necessary about
November 1 to begin feeding sor1e
grain in addition to the forage. Many
feeders also feed hay at this time, CIV
ing the lambs each evening as much
as they will eat before morning. A
few of the larger feeders begin feed
ing corn silage about November 1.
As much silage as the lambs will eat
up clean in about an hour, is the right
amount to feed both morning and eve
ming.
Provide plenty of salt and good wa
ter. Shed or barn shelter is not alb
solutely necessary, but it is advisable
to have shelter to protect the lambs
from the cold fall rains.

Both huge, black hands grasped the
spokes, and 1t was evident that it re-
quired all his giant strength to con-
troll the bucking wheel. He was an
ugly-looking brute, the lower portion
of his face apelike and the wool grow
ing so low as to leave him scarcely
an inch of forehead. His eyes lifted
an instant from the pinnacle card to
glance at me curiously. They exhib-
tied no fash of recognition.
For half an hour Estada hung about
aft, apparently paying no attention to
me, and yet watching my movements

about the deck, their very looks a

WINTER SHELTER FOR SWINE
Farmer Cannot Expect to Realize Big
Profit From Animals Exposed
to Rain and Cold.

The time is past when we can ex-
pect to leave our hogs unsheltered
during the late fall and early winter
rains and expect to realize the best
results from feeding them. The thick
layers Of fat may be a protection but
they are no insurance against pneu-
monia and kindred ailments. The hog
is not protected by a thick coat Of
hair as are the other animals and ho
is more in contact with the damp cold
soil underfoot.
