SOME RECORD AIR FLIGHTS
Undisputed Champions In the
Flying Game.

Long-distance flights by birdmen
have long been anticipated by the birds
themselves, says the Christian Science
Monitor. Recent proofs of their endur-
ance and wanderlust comes in re-
port from Capetown, which says that
five swallows have been traced recent
ly from hangers in England to tenn
porary homes in South Africa. These
birds were ringed as nestlings and
found by happy chance at the other
end of the world. One nesting ringed
In Lancashire, was found in Cape
Province in February of the next year ;
another, ringed in Ayrshire, was re-
ported next March in Orange Free
State; another ringed in Yorkshire
was recovered in East Griqualand the
following February; fourth swallow,
this time an adult, ringed in Stafford
shire, was recovered in Natal 10
months afterward; the fifth bird,
ringed on June /, 1919 in Stirlingshire,
was found in February, 1920, at Lake
Chrissie.
The ringing scheme was inaugurated
by J. II. Whitherby, editor of British
Birds.

Puts I Will In You
Easv to Get Strong

Everyone wants more pep and sure
ly needs it this hot weather. Hot
weather takes away the appetite and
makes one feel listless, lifeless, mser-
able, even when you have strong
stomach, but for those who have weak
stomachs, it is really a dangerous,
trying time.
Be on the safe side this kind Of
weather and help nature all you can, by
taking an eatonic tablet about half
an hour before you eat and one or
two an hour after you eat; it will be
Of wonderful benefit. Eatonic sim
ply takes up the excess acids, poisons
and gases, and carries them right out
of the body. With the cause Of the
trouble removed, of course you Will
feel fit and fine-full Of pep all the
time. Eatonic will cool feverish mouth
and stomach and give you a good
appetite, even in hot weather.
Get a big box at your druggists
for a trifling cost and let eatonic
help you for a few days; then you
will never be without 1t. Adv.

the value Of the parcel post in direct
marketing. This man sells dressed
poultry, eggs, meats and fruits to
customers in Nashville, Tenn. The
business was started two years ago by
selling to a friend who was so pleased
with the results that he told his
neighbors of his good fortune.
Cheapness Not Essential.
Other things being equal, purchasers
expect to save something over esti-
mated retail prices by dealing direct
with the producers. 1t does not al
ways follow that the prices of parcel
post goods must be below the market.
levels. This Kentuckian, for example,
has never catered to those desiring
low-priced goods. Rather, he has built
ND his entire business on the basis
of high quality He is just as particu-
lar in selecting customers as some GUS
toners are in selecting producer
from whom to obtain farm products.
He retains his customers by never
breaking his rule, which IS "Sell only
the best" Many producers would oc-
casionally be tempted to sell second
grade produce when the orders exceed
ed their supply of first grade produce,
This is something which the Ken
tuckian never does. Instead, he
frankly tells his patrons that he is
out of the desired supplies and, I'M
less otherwise instructed, he will fill
the order as soon as possible.
New Highlander Sells Eggs.
Tn in a little town in New Hamp-
shire is a retired business man who
has built up a good trade in marketing
eggs direct to customers. The business
was started because Of the unsatisfac-
tory prices at certain city markets.
After some unsatisfactory experience
in shipping with containers of vari-
Gus kinds, he finally evolved one
of his own planning, which Is proving
very satisfactory. These are now
manufactured for him in large guam
titles. thus bringing down the cost.
Particular care Is taken in packing
the eggs and in tying the parcels. AS
in most eases of successful parcel-post
selling, satisfaction is guaranteed.
Printed labels are used and special
effort is made to answer all letters
carefully and promptly. In the last
year or so the business during the
spring and summer months has
amounted to an average of 900 dozen
eggs per week.
These are but a few hundreds of In

SILAGE FROM MATURED CORN
FEEDING Value Not Decreased Where
Ears Have Not Fully Developed
When Preserved.

Silage made from corn that has an
opportunity to fully mature but which
has been planted in such way that
the ears have not fully developed has
practically the same composition and
the same feeding value as silage made
from corn equally well matured but
which will yield a fair crop of ear corn
to the acre This is supposed to be
due to the fact that in tie production
of the ears there is merely transfer
of the nutrients from the stalk and
leaves to the ear. There is slight de-
crease in the feeding value of corn
when placed in a silo, but this should
not exceed 1900, and the loss is less
from this method Of preserving than
in any other.
