MY Grandmother Oven Bird was a

beautiful nest in her day and she was
always calling for more learning.
Eyes, she was always calling for
more learning, evidently.
''She was like all oven birds. She
made her nest in the shape of an oven

all oven birds do.

15O-mile limit, would be six cents.
Most parcels containing a dozen eggs
will exceed two pounds but will not
reach three; therefore the postage on
them will be seven cents within the
first and second zones. A parcel con-
tanning two dozen eggs will add per-
haps two cents to the postage, though
sometimes only one cent, depending
on the nature of the container and the
packing and wrapping.
1t should be observed that the larg-
er the parcel (within the size and
weight limlts) the cheaper is the
postage, as the first pound of every
package costs five cents within the
first and second zones. while each adj
ditiOnal pound up to so, costs but one

would cost five cents postage, a two

SWINE REQUIRE CLEAN LOTS
Not Enough Attention Paid to Pens
by Many Hog Rzisers-Worms
Thrive on Dirt

A great many hog raisers do not
pay enough attention to clean lots
Worms are the cause OF many IN
thrifty pigs. Recent Investigations In
dictate that the eggs Of both the com
mon round worm and the lung worm
are harbored IN old straw piles. ma
nure piles. dirty hog lots and hog wal
lows. One Of the best methods Of pre-
venting worms Is to clean up the lots
and thus minimize the number Of
worms which will be present During
warm weather It Is a good plan to
move the hogs entirely out Of the win
ter quarters and at the same time
clean them up.

KEEP EGG-PRoDUClNG FOWLS
Hens With Yellow Shanks, Smooth
PIumage and Nice Looking Are
Not Good Layers.

When feeding the flock. notice the
shanks, beaks and plumage of your
birds. If they have yellow shanks
and beak, nice smooth white plumage
and are in general good looking birds,
II is safe to guess that they have not
laid a great many eggs the last season
and are not laying many. If any. now.
Sell such hens and keep the ones that
have pale shRnks and beak and worn
plumage, for q hen that has worked
hard producing eggs during the past
season will show the effect Of hard

er, the seller does not tell the buyer
the horse will haul two tons in the
country.
The farmer knows his conditions
and what he can expect.
In view of the fact that farmers
are using an ever increasing number
of motOrtrucks, it is interesting to
note what a leading transportation au-
thOrity recently said about doing
this with trucks, that is, calling them
two, three, four, etc, ton trucks.
obviously it is as illogical for a
mOtOrtruck manufacturer to label his
truck a twO-tOn hauler as it would be
for a horse dealer to say how much
a horse would haul. Clearly in either
case the load which may be transport
ed depends almost entirely upon condi-
lions. For this reason leading manu-
facturers have abolished the ton rat
ing method and are fitting the trucks
to the job. A transportation engineer
goes over the hauler's conditions thor
Oughly. All his difficulties and ad-
vantages are carefully considered, and
the proper size unit prescribed. Thus.
a truck formerly rated at two tons
may be used for four-ton load in the
city, while in an unusually bad sec
ton of the country a unit with a larger
rated horse power capacity may be
necessary, If the owner is to prevent
wasteful depreciation"
In other words, manufacturers are
taking advantage Of the experience
gained in horse hauling. They real
ize it takes ''ten horses on loose gravel
and one on concrete" They are sell
ing their transportation accordingly.

Mr.. Oven Bird laughed as he thought
