BELelAN PRINCE TO SCOUTS

King Albert of the Beigians has two
sons who are Boy Scouts. The king
and queen. with Crown Prince Leopold,
recently toured this country.
Scout Leopold has sent this letter
voicing the brotherhood of scouting to
his American comrades:
You have been kind enough to ask
me to- send you statement on what
the Belgium Boy Scouts have done dur
ing the war.
During the first days of the inva-
sion our boys did their utmost to as
sist both the civil and military authorI-
ties. acting as messengers. But, as
you are aware, Belgium was soon al
most entirely occupied by the enemy
and. from that moment, the Boy Scouts.
in spite of their desire to serve their
country. were reduced to inactivity.
Ever since the liberation of Belgian
territory they have again resumed
their work with the greatest entliu-
siasm.
II am pleased to have an opportunity
of conveying to you the expression or
their brotherly feelings towards the
Boy Scouts of America, and to express
to you my best wishes for the pros
perity of your great organization.
- '.Yours faithfully,
/. LEOPOLD. DE BELGIQUE.'

SECRETARY GLASS FOR SCOUTS.

Former Secretary Of the Treasury
Carter Fl. Glass in addressing a gather
ing of boy scouts in Washington said :
'"I regard ii as distinctly great
compliment to be asked to come here

cessor, Mr.. McAdoo. was so prominent

and greet an association of that sort
"If the Boy Scouts of America had
done nothing more than they did In
the five Liberty loan campaigns they
would have earned distinction enough
to entitle them to the respect and af-
fection of ai-the American people, and
as secretary of the treasury of the
United States want to give attesta-
don to the great patriotism mani
Tested by the boy scouts. want to
personally thank them for the splen-

In the breeding sale of all classes of live stock
In the case of AZ farms surveyed In Henry

These farms kept the most live stock, averaging
50 animal units-that is. 81 full-grown CATTLE

made average labor income of $479. These
farms kept live stock averaging 10 animal units
per farm. Fifteen farms made an average labor
income of but 81. Not of these farms kept
more than Is animal units.
Dividing these farms into three groups accord
ing to the number of animals to an acre, the
tendency is shown. The heavily
stocked the farm the larger the labor income.
specific example of what can be accomplished
by raising and better stock. Is that Of
belt farm formerly managed straight-grain
farm. that for the past five years has been oper-
ated hog farm. The system followed is
rather unusual, in that but litter is raised
each year, the bred being gifts. which are
fattened and sold after their pigs have been
weaned. The pigs, put on full feed on selffeed-
ers. are sold when from six to seven months old.
Enough hogs bought to hog down the corn
crop. The profits realized far in advance
of those realized under the old system For the
past three years. respectively, the net returns
from the hog enterprise alone have been $1,259,
$1,S59, and 1878

off he is if he persists in trying to produce
milk from them, and in some cases the quickest
way to increase net returns is to sell bunch of
Gamers.
The high-class hog and the highclass COW, each
in its own field has equal in efficiency in turn
ing products into human food but until
realize the wide difference in efficiency between
the scrub COW producing 1000 pounds of milk
and the animal yielding 1000 pounds of milk,
between the razOrback hog and the hog that
converts into pork rapidly and economically,
not in position to make the most of this
fact
So the farmer who seeks to increase his busi-
ness by going into live stock enterprises will
make grave mistake unless he pays strict atten-
tion the vital question of quality of stock. 1t
is not necessary to begin with expensive regis
tered animals, for good grade stock will serve.
but 1t is essential that great be exercised In
selecting the individual animals that to

such is taken, however, there is no safer way
for the farmer to increase the size of his business
than by intensive production of live stock

MEETING THE SCOUTS CHIEF.

One day as Dan Beard was going up
the elevator In the high Flatiron build
ing in New York city. at the rear OF
the car was postal messenger boy
with his arms filled with a score of
bundles all of the same size.
Peering over the top Of the am
buscade. he fixed his eyes steadily
upon Mr.. Beard. The national scout
commissioner of the four hundred
thousand and more Boy Scouts of
America knew the signs well enough
to realize that something was passing
through the boys mind. He asked the
lad what he was thinking about.
The boy replied: "I was just thinkin'
that You look like friend Of minA"
whats your friends name?" asked
the man who is the friend of all boys.
Dan Beard" said the messenger
II am Dan Beard" replied the COM
missioner, with a smile.
"Gosh!" was the only reply of the
astonished boy, who dropped his bum
dies under the feet of the amused
passengers and brought his right hand
up to a stiff salute.

NO ONES DUTY is THE SCOUTS.

1t was just the removal of stray
brick that fell from a truck into the
middle of the street-a little thing,
perhaps-but 1t was observed by some
of the big men In York. Pa. and
brought forth their heartiest COM
mendation.
A wagon. heavily loaded. dropped
the brick. Another wagon came along.
The driver saw the obstacle. veered to
one side, and narrowly escaped bump
ing into another vehicle. Then a pc
destrian, crossing the street in hurry,
tripped over it, and the language he
used would hardly win him leadership
of troop.
A scout happened by. He saw the
object, ducked between the traffic,
picked up the brick and carefully de-
posted it out of the way. A little
thing? Perhapsl But you ought to
hear what some of the onlookers said
about this genuine good turn"

OYSTER Shells for Poultry

Oyster shell Is not needed by chicks, but pullets
and hens do better for having oyster shell reg
ular mart of their ration. This proved by the
New York agricultural experiment station some
years ago when a poultry writer condemned the
use of oyster shell as unnecessary. The New York
station proved that pound of oyster shell contains
enough lime to manufacture about seven dozen
eggs This should not be fed in the mash. Fowls
know more about what they need to eat than we
do If they have the shell, ground bone, meat
scraps and grit in hoppers before them, with
variety of ground grains in dry mash they will
balance their ration better than can balance

To keep up the organic matter of the soil and

Combat Vermin on Animals

1t doesn't take much argument to convince the
owner of lousy stock that relief measures should
be inaugurated to combat the lice and relieve the
animals. Lice show on animals usually In the late
winter and early spring months The harm they
do is then very apparent Stock owners usually
busy themselves when the life and thrift of the
infested animal Is seriously involved But 1t takes
greater argument to get the average stock owner
to combat lice on animals that do not look lousy
Lousy spring animals also lousy fall animals
The only difference Is In the number of lice. Why
not kill the few lice now that apparently do
harm instead of the many that have done harm7
