COMBINES ORANGE
AND CHICKEN RANCH
(By United Press)

PASADENA, Nov. 29--M. J. Little
Of this city has devised a scheme that
not only doubled his profits, but has
lessened his work in caring for his or
ange trees. He has hit upon the idea
of combining an orange ranch with a
chicken ranch.
By scattering grain between two
rows of trees he gets his land worked
by the chickens scratching for the
grain. Starting at one side of the
field, he scatters grain between two
rows each day, and when the other
side is reached he RECEIVERS the terri
tory in the same manner. Dust kick
ed up by the chickens in the summer
time is cure for scales on orange
trees, Little added. For his ranch OF
three acres Little has 1900 chickens
which he claims is the right proper
ton.

duce an election forecast closer tc
the actual result than that carried

that Kentucky with Is votes was
given to Harding and Tennessee with
IL votes was given to Cox. The

ror of only one vote in the forecast.

Anyone who wants true gloom dis
pe1ler right before his eyes all the
time has only to fix up bird bath
Of some sort on his lawn. No lawn
Is too small to afford space for one
and no city street SO congested that
sooner or later some feathered neigh
Dor will not seek out the bird bath
and make himself it's immediate ex-
cuse for being.
1t Is not necessary to have anything
elaborate. A fountain Of stone or &C.
ment may be very tasteful, but little
old robin will take the finest bath in
the world in any shallow tin pan. A
coat Of moss-green paint will turn the
home-contrived article into thing Of
beauty, blending in with the green Of
the grass around it. r..
No old swimming hole ever saw
more antics than are carried on by the
splashing birds, not any more unre-
strained delight in the water, nor any
more democratic gatherings, nor heard
more chatteripg. If an occasional fight
Is pulled off, why that's just human
and bird nature. .r-- ,,......
The possessor Of bird bath for his
lawn has long option on the pure
Joy of life. He will find himself more
than repaid for his trouble. and prob
ably astonished at the number and va
riety of birds common to his. neighbor-
hood that he never saw. before. st.
