Mr.. Sullivan has held the be-

GET A GOOD SIRE.

Quality and productive capacity Of
the average Louisiana farm animal is
still low. Thousands Of farmers are
wasting time and money on animals
that give less returns for the same
expenditures than would better stock.
The price of land, the price of labor,
and the price Of everything else is
high. If animals are to hold their
own in our system of agriculture they
must not only be high.priced them
selves but they must also be Of high
quality.
The value Of livestock depends on
good care, housing, feeding and dis.
ease control, as we'll as on breeding.
Good breeding, however, determines
the fundamental capacity Of an AMI
NAL to be profitable to Its owner. Ac'
cordingly, the replacement Of scrub
sires by good purebreds is considered
q basis for other improvement. While
the use Of good females Is likewise
important, good sires bring results
more quickly and at less expense.
Get q good sire.

BACKYARD FLOCK
KEEPS FAMILY IN eggs

A small flock of hens can be kept
with profit by many town ana city
dwellers who have a backyard, say
the poultry specialists Of the E1ten'
sion Division, Louisiana State Univer'
sitv Even as few as eight or ten
hens should produce eggs enough
when used economically, for a family
of four or five persons throughout
the year, except the moulting PERIOD
of the fall and early winter.
Householders usually desire not
only eggs for the table and for COOK
ing, but also an occasional chicken
to eat For this reason one OF the
generalpurpose breeds, such as Plym-
outh Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Island
Red, or Orpington, is preferable to
the smaller egg breeds, such as the
Leghorns. Not only do the mature
fowls of these breeds, because OF
their larger size, make better table
fowls than the Leghorns, but the
young chickens for the same reason
make better fryers and roasters,
whereas chickens of the egg breeds
are suitable only for the smaller
broilers.
The general,purpose breeds are also
"broody" breeds, the hens making
good sitters and mothers, which is a
decided advantage when it is decided
to hatch and raise chickens, since the
hens of the egg breeds seldom go
broody and are in any. event rather
unreliable sitters and mothers. II,
however, the production of eggs out.
weighs the desire for an occasional
table fowl, the lighter egg breeds un-
doubtedly will be found better, be-
cause they produce eggs more cheaply.
It is by all means advisable to keep
some pure breed or variety. Where
this is done, sales at profitable fig
ure can often be made Of breeding
stock intended for market, or Of eggs
for Matching.

Care OF Tires Profitable.

Experts estimate that 30 per
cent of all automobile tires man.
ufactured are discarded before
they have delivered maximum mi
leage because of the neglect and
ignorance of motorists. Under.
initiation, wheels out Of alignment
and other abuses cause damage
that could easily be fixed if cared
for at the time incurred. Maxi
mum mileage is built into tires
and will be delivered if motorists
learn conservation from booklets
being issued by most manufac-
tlrers. To show what mileage
can be delivered under proper
tire care, j. M. Benish of Orchard
Wilhelm Company, Omaha, Neb.,
writes that the company bought a
pneumatically equipped two.ton
truck two years ago and that the
Goodyear cords ran 10000 miles
on the original tread and 6,700
miles more after being retreaded i.
They are still in service over bad
roads and are cushioning the
trucks 80 efficiently that repair
bills are practically negligible.

FLOWER HAS A STORY
 ALL ITS OWN
THE HYAcINTH

Would you ask a fair maiden to dance, present her with a white hy- acinth, which asks charmingly. Will you dance with me?" A purple hya- cinth will say for you, 'I am sorry"
 Used For Briday Wreaths
 The old Greeks used the hyacinths for their briday wreaths and the brides attendants wore crowns made of that flower. Strangely, the hya- cinth is also associated with death. The odor was once believed to be dangerous when inhaled in large quantities. The story runs that in France a murder was committed by filling the victims bedroom with hy- acinths while he was sleeping.
 Apollo and His Friend
 The flower was named after a Laconian youth. Hyacinthus. to whom Apollo, the god of music, was very devoted. One day the two friends were throwing quoits. Sud denly a discuss which Apollo had pitched with great force swerved and struck Hyacinthus on the forehead. killing him instantly. Apollo was hearbroken and wept bitterly. "Oh, that could die for you!" he exclaim. ed, but since that cannot be, my Tyre shall keep your memory alive. When he had ended, lovely flower with delicate purple bells had sprung up where Hyacinth's blood had spot. ted the ground.
