PENeUlNs.

CAS- 1 told YOU" commenced Dad
dy, 81 am going to tell you quite a few
stories of the ways of the penguins,
for we have agreed that we thought
they were most attractive and inter-
estlng birds.
"They can be divided into four
groups; or, rather, we can group them
from the four main parts of the world
where different families live, some
quite a distance apart and some near
together.
West of the coast of South Amer
lea to the Equator there is a cold cur
rent and in the Antarctic or south
Of the Antarctic regions there are the
Emperor penguins with the white over
their eyes and the Adele penguins
with the ring across their necks.
"The second group are the sub-Ant-
arctic penguins. These are in the mild
er zone, in South Georgia and upon
the Sandwich islands. Here are the
King penguins and the Johnny pen
gums, the Rock-Hopper pengulns, the
Macaroni penguins, the Victoria pen
gums and the Blue penguins that can
also be called the Insular penguins or
penguins belonging to islands.
'In the second group of South Tenn
perate penguins where they live on
continents rather than islands there
are the Jackass penguins. They are
so named because they have braying
call which is just like that of dom
key. They are found in Africa and
In South America, and there are three
species or three families Of Jackass
penguins.
"In the fourth group of penguins
are those known as the Tropical pen
gums who live in the heart of the
tropics, near the Equator. These are
called the GalliDoll penguins.
"They ali use their wings as pad
dies. Their wing feathers are scale
like. They all walk upright, as you
know.
"The Emperor and the King pen
gums lay one egg only, and this they
lay on the top of their feet, which are

prices, far exceeds the supply. Ex-
perimenters have tested to their salts
faction that this much priced fruit
can be produced commercially in a
wide area of territory and they are
busy developing an industry that
gives much promise. The avocado be-
longs to the laurel family and Is
native of tropical and semi-tropical
America. The tree Is large and spread
ing, its leathery leaves Of a spicy
taste and odor. The bay tree, whose
leaves are used largely for seasoning,
belongs to the laurel family. The
fruit Of the avocado varies in shape
from round to pear-shaped, with color
from green to deep purple, weighing
from a few ounces up to five pounds.
1t contains a large single seed around
which is a thick creamy yellow and
green-cOlored flesh. of delightful nutty
flavor. The thick-skinned fruit is more
often shipped, as 1t carries well. It
has been said of the avocado that 1t
is in a class by itself. 1t Is natural
combination of fOod-fruit and oil. 1t
averages 9S4 cGlorles, or heat units
per pound, more than twice the maxi
mum calories of the best fresh fruits.
Its fuel value corresponds to rs per
cent Of that of cereals. It's chief val
ne however is in its fat content, which
In some cases is as high as % to 30
per cent. The only fruit comparable
to 1t is the olive and that is a proc
essed fruit. The increase in popula-
ton, making land too valuable mere
ly for producing meat, makes the
production of such substitute worthy
Of consideration.
In Mexico a salad of the pear is
used as follows: Cut the fruit in
dice after peeling and add to two
parts Of the fruit one part of Ber-
muda onion, chopped fine, and small
sweet pepper. Prepare two hours be-
fore serving. Season with salt, pep
per and vinegar.

clude all above that size. Usually the
boards of hog creep are horizontal
but In this case they are perpendlcu-
lar, says writer in Successful Farm
Ing. The hogs can always pass through
without STOPPING, and since there is no
board to rub along their backs there Is
less danger of lnjuring them. The two
outside boards are nailed to the cross
pieces while the two middle boards are
held in place by bolts which pass
through elongated holes. These two
middle boards may be close together or
far apart depending upon the size of
the hogs to be excluded.

somewhat pear-shaped. These pen
gums make no nests.
"Others lay two or three eggs and
make a rounded sort of nest,
though the penguins aren't like other
birds who care for their homes and
how they look and of what they are
made.
"As long as the penguins keep their
down they keep out of the water.
They do not go in until it has mott
ed.
"They all swim with their wings
instead Of with their feet, and anoth-
er reason that they stay out of the
water as long as they do is because
they cannot swim until their wings
are strong, and 1t takes some time be-
fore they are strong.
Both the Mr.. and Mrs Penguins
have the same caring habits, and they
share most of the work and play to-
Fether.
''When the Mrs. PenSuins are sit
ting on the eggs, or rather when the
eggs are sitting on their feet as they
DO in so many cases, and when they've
given them over to the Mr.. Penguins
when they have wanted to take walk
or a wash or meal the Mr.. Penguins
love to fight.
"They fight for two reasons: One
is because they feel so full of energy,
and they're like people when a day
is brisk and cold, and when they feel
happy they like to play games hard
or work hard or do anything they have
to do with lots of energy.
"The other reason the Mr.. Penguins
do this is because they like to show
Off before their mates. They feel fine
and healthy and well and happy. And,
too, they like to have their mates see
how brave and splendid they are.
They're just gOod-natured fights,
and they never drop the eggs when
they're fighting and never forget that
they're guarding the eggs for the Mrs.
Penguins.
"Such." said Daddy, "are some Of
the ways Of some Of the penguins, and
another day Wen hear OF some OF
their talks and walks and games and

CUTTERS KEEP CELLARS DRY
Cement bitches Carry Water From
House Far Enough to Prevent
Injury by Seepage.

A few homemade cement cutters will
drain away the water from the gutter
pipes and help keep a cellar dry. The
cement ditch can be inches wide, 2
inches thick and widened at the recelv-
ing end to resemble a shallow platter,
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture. 1t should be sufficiently
long to carry the water from the gut
ter pipe far enough from the house
foundation to prevent seepage. If the
work is set flush with the ground it
offers no hlndrance to passing feet or
to the lawn mower.

Poultry Flock Given More Time
for Eating and Exercising
During Winter Season.
INCREASES EGG PRODUCTION
Many Farmers Find II Profitable to
illuminate Houses for Several
Hours Each Day to Eneour-
age the Pullets.

Domestic fowls originated in the
tropics where the days and nights are
Of about equal length. As a result Of
this, the reproductive and digestive
systems Of the hen are developed to
ut the environment of a 12-hour day
and 12-hour night. For this reason
she is somewhat like an alarm clock,
except that she must be wound up
about every IL hours instead of every
"A. In the winter in the North, her
digestive system strikes at about 8 or
o'clock in the morning. AS she is
unable to locate food in the dark she
has no alternative but to wait until
daylight or until the caretaker gets
around to feed her.
Habits, Not Nature, Changed.
Up In the north-temperate zone
where during the fall and winter the
nights are from 10 to Is hours long
the transplanted domestic fowl from
the tropics has changed her habits
but not her nature. During this time
she takes her vacation when she has
the least to eat and to do. This is
from necessity rather than from
choice, for, given an opportunity to
eat, exercise, and enjoy herself for IL
hours a day, she lays nearly, If not
quite so well, as during the summer
months.
Acting on this theory many poultry
keepers have found 1t profitable to
light their poultry houses for several
hours each day. This heightened day,
together with the right kind Of feed
and plenty Of exercise, has been found
to increase to a marked degree the
number of eggs laid by pullets in the
fall and winter. 1t does not pay to
provide light for older hens A IL
hour day for the laying flock during
the winter months is the aim Of those
who are following this, practice.
Experiments are being carried on by
the United States Department Of
Agriculture at the government poultry
farm at Beltsville, Nd, for the pur-
pose of securing more data on this
