IMPORTANCE OF MALE BIRDS
Exert Much Influence In Producing
Qualities Of offsprlne-Two
Glasses Of Hens.

Doctor Pearl. formerly Of the Maine
experiment station, makes mention Of
the fact that among the high produc-
ing hens there are two classes, one
class having the ability to transmit
their high laying qualities to their
daughters and the other class being
poor breeders. 1t simply amounts to
the selection by means Of the trap nest
Of the high layers. These in turn are
mated to sons Of high layers and the
progeny Of the mating is again tested
as to egg production. 1t is agreed by
the most careful observers that the
male bird exerts very important in
fiuence in the producing qualities of
the offspring, and that good hen
mated to a poor male would likely
give very Indifferent results.

BEET PULLER IS
LATE INVENTION
Machine Designed by Californian
for Doing This Hard and
Expensive Task.
INJURY AVOIDED BY WHEELS
A. Beet 10 Pulled From Ground Knives
On Each Side Cut OF Tops Of
Lsaves-Easy to Harvest
Profitable Crop.

Pulling sugar beets Is one Of the
big Jobs which confront the grower
Of this very profitable crop. It is lot
Of work, and work that takes time and
energy at least, and often costs money
as well. A man in the beet fields Of
California has designed a machine
which he thinks is a wonder for doing
this hard and expensive task. Instead
Of using inclined rods, on the principle
Of the gathering points Of corn bind
er, for pulling the beets. this man uses
padded wheels for this purpose.
Cross Sectional View.
The upright v-shaped portion Of the
accompanying illustration is a cross
sectional view through the padded
wheel pullers. The axles Of these
wheeled pullers extend down to the
inner hubs Of the main driving wheels
Of the machine. and are here driven
or revolved by these main wheels.

that the pulling wheels are set SO the
lower portions are much closer to-
gether than are the upper portions.

FIGURING CAPACITY OF sILo
In Estimating Diameter and Height
Allow Each Cow Four to Five
Square Feet Of Surface.

If your cows are fed 40 pounds sill
age daily for six months they will
need nearly 1900 pounds or a silo
capacity Of four tons each. In esti-
mating diameter and height, allow each
COW four to five square feet Of feed
ing surface in the silo. Ten cows
would require feeding surface Of
so feet. A silo eight feet in diameter
would have a cross section or feeding
surface Of so square feet. For ten
cows therefore, a silo should be eight
feet in diameter. Fifteen cows should
have a silo 10 feet in diameter III

TREATMENT OF ARMY WORMS
Pests Can Be Kept Out Of Field by
PIovsino Up a Furrow In
Front Of Them.

After army worms once get INTO a
field there is nothing practical which
can be done to stop them. They can
be kept out of field. however, by
blowing a deep furrow In front Of
them. Plow furrow about eight
inches deep and square up one side
Of the furrow with spade. Every
ten or fifteen feet In the furrow dig a
shallow posthole. AS fast as the army
worms accumulate In the furrow. and
especially in the pOstholes, sprinkle
them with kerosene. Army worms

ply this treatment promptly or they
will have moved into the threatened
held and there Is nothing whatever
which can be done. II the trench

EVIDENTLY NOT AN EXPERT
Visiting Minister Asking Blessing at
Table Was Completely outeIasssd
by Little Isabel.

To eight-year-old Isabel ever since
she has been able to lisp has fallen
the honor in her family Of saying the
blessing at meals. Consequently she
was indignant the other night when at
supper her father transferred this
privilege to clergyman who was q
dinner guest.
Isabel had already clasped her hands
and was bowling her head preparatory
to starting the prayer when her father
took the fatal step:
"Mr. Finderkin," he said, twill you
say the blessing?"
Isabel shot baleful look at the
guest. but a warning expression of her
mothers face silenced the protest
Apparently submitting, Isabel bowed
her head and her lips moved swiftly as
Mr.. Finderkin murmured the blessing
The prayer completed, Isabel lifted
her head beaming triumphantly.
II said the blessing six times while
you were saying it once" she told Mr..

SALT PREVENTS INDIGESTION
Used BY Experienced shepherds In
Changing Sheep From Old Pas

Many experienced shepherds mix
salt with air-slaked lime, little more
lime than salt to prevent indigestion

to new pastures. On some farms to-
bacco stems are dipped In . strong
salt brine and no additional salt 10

out of the ground.
Cuts on Leaves.
So located between the pulling
wheels that they pass just over the
top of the beet are two knives. one
on each side. Thus, as the machine
Is drawn forward and the beet is lift
ed up, these knives cut off the top or
leaves of the beet; thus it is pulled
and topped at one and the same time
by the one machine, these being two
separate operations in the ordinary
hand method of harvesting beets.

ed as a remarkably clever amateur
boxer.
Recently she encountered burglar
in her home. Instead of running from
the house, screaming for the police,
she took the situation in her own
hands. "Mr. Burglar, you may put up
your hands and get ready for what
probably will be the very worst lick
ing you ever had" With this warn
ing she stepped in with lightning right
and left swings to the head. The
burglar was groggy in few seconds.
He tried ineffectively to guard against
the rain of blows. Finally, with q
wicked uppercut to the point of. the
Jaw; Mrs. Statler knocked out the
burglar.
He had not come to when the po-
lice loaded him in patrol wagon and
took him to a police station.

Boys and Girls of New Jersey Town

tiers of thrift and industry, % young
sters in that town have invested 81, O00
in United States thrift stamps this
year, thanks to their own hard work.
Boys and girls alike have welcomed
opportunities of doing remunerative
dishwashing, sweeping, busting. store
clerking, baby-minding, GRANDEUR
ming, etc., with the goal Of economy
symbolized by government stamps
ahead of them. The more ambitious
have undertaken cutting weeds, carry
ing coal, sitting ashes, selling papers,
raising chickens, cleaning pavements,
and some have even won prizes to add
to their savings. Having found that
time can be converted into money it is
doubtful whether these boys will again
find the street corner a worthwhile
place for spending idle hours, or the
girls be content to waste periods in
porch chatter.
