PUREBRED PAY IN POULTRY

That the value of purebred males
counts as much in poultry raising as
in stock raising is shown by the rec
ords of three f1ocks of Leghorns, the
data for which have been supplied the
United States Department of Agri-
culture by the North Carolina Expert
ment Station. Flock l, the egg pro-
duction of which is included in these
records, consisted of common hens;
flock 2 was produced by breeding
these hens to common males; flock 8
was produced by breeding flock l to a
rooster from a high-producing hen.
The following year the original flock
laid SO eggs hen; flock laid an
average of SO eggs a hen; and flock
9 laid an average of 1856 eggs a hen.
This increase of 81 per cent in one
year tells very specifically the benefits
of using a pure-bred male. But the
percentages alone do not tell the whole
story, for a big proportion of the in
crease came at a season-May and
June-when the production of focks 1
and were relatively low and the
prices were good.

The Most Intelligent Animal

mails not usually credited with a high
degree of intelligence. This is the
order of rodentsJ or gnawing animals.
1t contains an immense number of
species, the greater number of small
size and scattered over all parts of the
world. To this order belong the rats
and mice, the squirrels, porcupines,
rabbits and marmots. The prairie
dog is a member of this order and
problems of ingenious construction
All the rodents are characteristic in
having strangely developed incisor
teeth-those Immediately at the front
of both the upper and lower jaw
These teeth, proportionately larger
and longer than with other animals
are continually growing and their
edges meet in a fashion to become
much sharpened during constant use
like double set of rapidly moving
chisels. Thus the rat gnaws holes
through wood and plaster, the squirrel
gnaws through the shells of the hard

Sugar Planters
Aid EntomologiSt

Louisiana sugar planters have
placed $4,000 at the disposal of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture to assist the Bureau of Entomol-
ogy in importing parasites of the
sugar cane moth borer, the most de-
structive enemy of sugar cane in the
United States. The work of import
ing and establishing the parasites of
the borer was undertaken by the
Bureau of Entomology last year. An
agent was sent to Cuba and succeeded
in getting several hundred living
specimens of the parasite to the
United States alive. This parasite
has apparently become established in
the Louisiana cane fields, and will
assist in controlling the pest. The
planters realizing the importance of
the work and the handicap under
which the bureau was working for
lack of funds, undertook to finance
it to certain extent. The money
thus made available will enable the
Bureau of Entomology to keep five
agents this year instead of one, and
thousands of this parasite instead of
few hundred will be sent to the cane
fields during the coming season.

ing the animal note the front view
and general features of the head and
the width and depth of the chest. On
moving toward the side, note the
depth of the body and the lowness of
the flank. The rear view will give
the width of the back, spring of ribs,
and thickness and development of the
hind quarters, particularly the thighs
and twist
After general survey of the animal
from a short distance a close inspec-
ton of the various parts of the body
should be made, beginning at the
head. Examine the various parts of
the head and proceed backward to the
neck and shoulders Aftel examining
these parts it is well to move step or
two away from the animal and com
pare the straightness of the top and
underline, at the same time noting the
depth of the chest and the constitu-
ton in general Continuing the ex-
animation proceed toward the loin
and hips feeling the skin and paying
particular attention to the evenness
and covering of flesh. In the exami-
nation of the hind quarters note the
smoothness TO the hips, levelness and
width of the rump, and depth and
thickness of the thighs and twist. The
quality and condition should be OBJ
tanned from the handling of the vari
Gus parts during the examination. In
classes which are very close the con
dition and quality may be the deciding
factors, especially in fat cattle. In
such classes a close examination of the
thickness of TANKS and the fullness
of the cod may be very helpful.

We read much about animal sagas-

(which is the most intelligent ami
MALI" This query most frequently re-
lates to the results in training ami
mails to do surprising things or to do
the smart" things that many captive
animals do. Association with the
human and the artificial conditions of
captivity bring forth many surprising
traits in animals, but such have little
to do with this story. When the
writer is asked which he considers the
most intelligent animal he has no hes

Despite the adaptation of the horse
and the elephant to domestic use, the
docility and affection of the dog, the
marvellous feats accomplished by
trained sea lions and other marked

The United States Junior Chamber
of Commerce, with headquarters at
st. Louis, will hold convention in
that city on June II, Is, and 10. The
novel organization, says Clarence W.
Howard, father of the movement and
director of the United States Chamber
of Commerce, is the link between the
Boy Scouts of America and the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States,
as builder of men and an upbui1der of
trade
There was" he says, "a crying
need for care and constructive training
of our young men from Is to 80 along
civic and commercial lines. Thus the
Junior Chamber of Commerce idea
found birth ana expression, and pro-
vided an opportunity for the Boy
Scouts to be encouraged to graduate
into the Junior Chamber Of Commerce
and they in turn become members OF
the Senior Chamber of Commerce,
thereby forming a wonderful founda-
ton training for membership in the
Senior Chamber
Appeal to Father
1.-THE Junior Chamber Of Commerce
presents a powerful appeal to the
father, the employer and the young
man himself. 1t furnishes an aca-
demic course in business and civics,
causing the young man to appreciate
the viewpoint and problems of his
father as well as his employer. and
fits him for intelligent, useful citizen

ception of the relation of his particu
lar line of business to the commercial

Pet Lion Devours
a Pair OF Horses

Following an epidemic of horse
stories that appears to be breaking
out in the San Gabriel Valley, comes
a sad tale from Monrovia, of per.
fectly good horse that was fed to the
lions all by mistake, say the Los An
geles Times. The story came out in
Smith, Covina contracting teamster,
brought suit to recover the cost of
the animal from Felix F. Graf of Mon
rovia An employee of the latter, it
was claimed, had risen early in the
morning and slain the animal before
breakfast, in order that the mountain
lions and other pet carnivora that in
fest the Graf premises might have a
square meal.
This horse" on Graf will cost him
just 500, that being the value placed
by the Court on the deceased equine
Following Judgment a stay of execu-
ton of ten days was obtained by
Grafs attorney.
According to his testimony, Mr..
Graf, who has a fourisning private
zoo on his beautiful Monrovia foothill
estate, is always in the market for
horsefesh, with which to provide
nourishment for his hungry pets. He

say over the telephone that he had
one or more animals with one foot in
the grave, and that was the reason, he
told the court, that two horses were
taken instead of one, and that horse
that by careful nursing might have
lived few weeks longer, had his
earthly career career cut off in such
an untimely manner by a too-early
rising employe.
The plaintiffs story was that he
had sick horse, and as the animal
was aged, he phoned graf, who he
knew would always buy such animals,
to come over and take the horse away.
Smith declared that the call was made
by Graf during the contractors alb

two instead of one. When he discov-

on the scene the mountain lions had

Why You See Violet

The sun is distant 95,000,000 miles
from the earth, but the sun you see is
only part of the real sun. Do you
know that the sun is composed of
sodium, iron magnesium, cobalt, by
drogen, nickel, titanium, chromium,
and a few other things? There are
movements in the sun, but no signs of
it being burnt out or exhausted, ae-
cording to astronomers.
1t is not the heat that gives you
sunstroke, but the invisible violet rays
of the sun, and the base of your skull
is the vulnerable spot.
Sunburn is really the rupture and
Inflammation of the tiny veins of the
skin. And you wear white in the sun
not because it looks cool, but because
white resists the heat rays of the sun
better than colors.
The violet tinge over everything
after you have looked at the sun is
there because violet is the accidental
color of yellow-the suns color. You
cannot really look at the sun, but
birds can, because they have an extra
eyelid which can be drawn down to
act as a screen or shield.
The sun seems much larger at sun
rise and sunset-although it never sets
nor rises-because it is then nearer
the terrestrial objects, and so gains by
comparison.
A red sunset is said to portend fine
weather; red sunrise indicates wet
the vapor in the air being already
condensed to clouds. finally the hot
test summer sun will never, by itself
ignite natural substances, and for all
the germs it kills with it's light it
brings as many more into existence
with its life-giving warmth.

GOSSIP OF PEOPLE ABROAD

The untimely death of the Marquis
of Ormonde removes out of London
society one of it's most prominent
figures. He was commodore of the
Royal Yacht Club, of Cowes, for a
good many years and as such enjoyed
an immense popularity being the dis
penser of all the hospitality for which
that institution was famous.
1t was said at one time that he got
into the black books of the late King
Edward VII for his resistance to the
election by members of this exclusive
assemblage of few of the monarch's
personal friends to whom he op-
jected for some reason or other which
he was wise enough to keep to him
self.
The marquis was large landowner
in Ireland, where he hal his family
seat, Kilkenny Castle, one of the most
imposing piles in the United Kingdom,
which, apart from it's historical inter
est, contained wonderful collections of
pictures and tapestries and rare china
and manuscripts. Not being at all
well off, thanks to the irish disturb
ances, and seeing his rent roll dwindle
day by day, he tried to sell some of
these treasures, which he could not
succeed in doing on account of the
opposition of his brother and eventu
ally successor, who, not being on good
terms with his sister-h-law, the Mar
chioness Of Ormonde, whom he &C.
cused of being extravagant, refused
his consent to his scattering of family
heirlooms compromised in the entail
of the property. This led to much
friction and during the last years OF
Lord Ormonde's life, he was hardly
upon speaking terms with his brother

marquis, which indeed threw a gloom

crease in the infested territory. The
reduction amounts to 1924 square

gypsy moth and $685. miles with the
brown-tail moth. Twenty-eight towns
in New Hampshire, 6 in Vermont, 8
in Massachusetts, and 10 in Connect

1.-THE members of the Junior Cham
Der of Commerce of st. Louis were so
pleased and benefited by their organi-
zation that they were fired with an i'm
pulse to share these benefits with the
young men of every community in the
United States. They conceived the
idea of calling national caucus of
other Junior Chambers and young
mems organizations that had devel-
oped in various American cities, with
the intention of forming a National
Junior Chamber Of Commerce as a
clearing house for information and
ideas and the promotion of forming
these Junior Chamber organizations
throughout the country.
THE caucus was called and it was
IA great success, having twenty-seven
cities represented and which formed
the United States Junior Chamber of
Commerce, with headquarters in St.
Louis, as ST. Louis is the center of the
United States.
cat this caucus arrangements were
made for the calling of a convention
to be held in st. Louis, June II to 10
of this year, and it is expected three
or four thousand young men full OF

and truth of character will attend"

that he had no heir. His marriage
with the pretty and attractive daugh-
ter of the late Duke of Westminster,
Lady Elizabeth Grosvenor, was bless.
ed only with two daughters.
One of the two "Ormonde girls
as one called them Familiarity in those
select circles of London society in
which they moved, the eldest, Lady
Constance Butler, did not marry, and
is still her mothers faithful compan-
ion.
AS for the youngest, Lady Beatrice,
she had quite romantic story in her
young days. When scarcely II, and
reputed the loveliest girl in England,
she fell in live with Colonel Reginald
Pole-Carew, who though rich man
of unimpeachable lineage and char
acter, was about 35 years older than
herself, which, of course, was serious
obstacle to her wedding him, not only
in the opinion of her parents, but also
in that of the old Duke of Westmin-
ster, who was alive at the time, ana
who had announced his intention of
settling large sum on each of his
granddaughters if they welded in a
way that was agreeable to him.
When he heard of Lady Beatrice's
"infatuation," as he called it, for the
popular and gallant Poie-Carew, he
declared that he would not leave her
enc penny if she persisted in the idea
of becoming the wife Of man he
thoroughly disapproved Of The lovers
had for some time to submit to cir
circumstances, and to make up their
minds to wait. This was just before
the Boer war, in which Colonel Pole

greatly and won honors. When he re-

The Loving Cup

The origin of the loving cup is hazy.
Some investigators have asserted that
it's beginning was the wassail bowl,
belonging to festivities antedating the
Christian area, and that on the advent
Of Christianity the custom Of wassail-
ing assumed religious aspect. The
monks called the wassail howl the "po-

ceremony of drinking from one cup
and passing it around was observed at
the Jewish pascal supper and on other
occasions in their ritual.

Timber Helps Land

Timber is essentially a poor land
crop. Steep slopes, poor soil, rocky
land, unusual corners, quilted and
wooded tracts-all these afford oppor-
tunities for growing timber proftably,
says specialists of the Forest Service,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. A careful survey of the average
farm will reveal a surprising number
of spots of this sort which can be uti-
1ized to advantage. If they do not
already have trees, planting them with
the proper varieties will materially in
crease the value of the land.
