paint, particularly on the wooden parts, should be renewed frequently.
 Get Mower Under Shelter.
 Mowers, more generally than blows and harrows, are put under shelter, but many of them spend the winter at the edge of the meadow where the last cutting of hay was made, and in most cases they are not properly greased, even when sheltered. Get the mower under shelter If possible. In any case, clean the knife bar, wipe 1t with a greasy rag, and store in a dry place. Place a block of wood or other sup port under the mid-point of the tongue, so that it will not acquire permanent sag. If the mower is stored with the cutter bar in vertical position, place a block of wood under the shoe, to take the weight off the frame. All accumulations of vegetable matter and dirt should be removed and all bear ings and other bright parts of the ma chine oiled or greased. Much the same rules apply to reapers and bind CTS.
 The time to care for each imple- ment is when Its work is finished Pressure of other work, however, ire quently makes this inconvenient, but nothing should be allowed to interfere with getting all machinery greased, and, if possible, under cover, before the beginning of winter. Then, as early in the winter as you can find tima for if on over everv Dfpca and see what repairs are needed. If new parts have to be ordered, order them at once. A great deal of valuable time Is lost every spring waiting for repair parts to arrive from the city.
 Use Paint and Grease.
 The best possible use should be made of such housing space as Is available, and grease and paint should be used without stint. Any farm implement with bearings and bright parts well protected with heavy grease Is better off out in the weather than standing in a shed without any protection by grease or oil.
 The United States Department of Agriculture has two bulletins-Farm- ers' Bulletin 946 and Farmers Bull letin 947-devoted to the repair and adjustment of farm implements. With all implements safely sheltered for the winter, you have time to write for these bulletins and to use the infor- nation they contain in putting your implements and machines in the best possible condition for next season.

GULL POOR PRODUCING HENS
Work Should Be Started in Summer and During Early Fall Months
 Comb Is Indicator

The hens should be culled out dur ing the summer and early fall months, beginning to cull out the poor producers just as soon as they stop laying, which Is usually in July and August. When a hen Is laying her comb will be large, full of blood, and bright red in color. As she stops lay ing, the comb becomes small and shrunken, pale or dull in color, and Is usually rather hard. Another good indication to use in selecting those hens which stop laying early Is mott ing, as the hens that start to mott early-that Is, in July and August are usually the poorest producers.
 While a hen which has molted most of her feathers is very easy to pick out by sight without examination, the only way to ascertain accurately when the hens begin to mott Is to han dle them. Before the body and wing feathers are molted in any great num- Der you will find short pin feathers growing thickly on the back and in the feather tracts running back from the breast, indicating that these hens have started to mott and probably have stopped laying if their combs and general appearance indicate non- production. The pelvic bones are also helpful in making this test as these two bones tend to close up when the hen stops laying. If the spread be- tween these bones measures two fingers or less the probability Is that the hen is not laying, while if the spread Is greater, together with other indications mentioned, she is probably laying.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

in the Panama canal zone has been reduced 40 per cent since March 4, 1921, and more than 700 former sol diers will be forced out of employ ment if there is not let-up, an ap- peal from the canal zone to the American Legion's representatives in Washington declares. Two army officers and three civilians appointed by Secretary of War Weeks recom- mended the sweeping reductions in personnel.
 Milady's fashionable corsage bou- quet may have started life as hand ful of ragweed, for disabled soldiers in Kansas City hospitals are doing a thriving business in making artificial and lifelike posies out of ordinary weeds. War Mothers of the city are teaching the wounded men to color the weeds with dyes and the Ameri- can Legion is helping them place the flowers with florists and gift shops.
 For the return of a tattered old army rain-cape, almost worth its weight in gold because of sentiment attached to it, liberal rewards have been posted by American Legion service men of Toledo, O. The cape, property of Rev. H. F. MacLane, chaplain of an infantry regiment in France, was used by him to cover the faces of dead soldiers lying in the Flanders mud and rain while their graves were being dug. It had been torn in many encounters with barbed wire while the chaplain fol- lowed his troops, but an undiscrimin- ating thief stole it from the minis ter's automobile.
 Out of wokr, arrested on a charge of vagarncy and placed in convict gang at Glen Springs, N. J., Thomas M. Keelan, world war veteran, was fogged to death by his guards, ac- cording to the American Legion post of Spartansburg, s. C., near the scene of the outrage. A federal investigation has been demanded and two men are being held.
 The body of the unknown Ameri- can soldier to be brought home from France by General Pershing probably will be selected from the Argonne cemetery at Romagne, where most of the unidentified dead were inferred following the fighting in the forest tangles, according to information to the American Legion shortly before the general sailed. But two percent of the wars dead yet remain in France.

"Why SouthpaWs."

The word "southpaw," used ire quently In the course of references to baseball games Is bit of slang which which has crept into the language dur. ing the last few years-a colloquialism which has behind it rather more of a logical pedigree than most slang words can claim.
 That the batter may not have to face the rays of the setting sun at any time of the year, a baseball dia- mond is usually laid out so that the batter's box faces due east. The pitcher, therefore, faces westward, while his right hand Is toward the north and his left hand Is toward the south. As the majority of pitchers are right-handed, 1t was only natural that an exception to this rule should be singled out for a certain specific title-and the name 'southpaw" was adopted on account of the usual points of the compass in connection with the diamond itself. The eccen- tricities of Rube Waddell and other ''southpaws" have made the name synonymous with "erratic," so far as baseball language is concerned, though there Is no medical support for the theory that left-handed persons are more peculiar than those who use their right hands.

Census Reveals Odd Names.

What will be the strangest name on the British census paper? asks the London Morning Post. Last time the palm went to a Yorkshireman, who had been saddled with the name of Mahershalalhashbaz. The longest name was that of Derby child whose parents had inflicted upon her Chris tian names beginning with every let ter of the alphabet. Of punning and other curious names there will be no end. Some of those revealed by pre- vious enumerations have been Arch Bishop, Arch Deacon, Rose Budd, Prim Rose, Righteous Williams, Temper ance Sober Lane, Sudden Death, Pine Coffin, and Alfred Gott Barelegs. An other factor Is the astonishing ire quency with which such high-sounding names as Lord George Smith, Lady Mary Brown, Marcus Cicero are found in the poorer quarters of our cities. Such names are usually select ed from the cheap novels which form the chief reading of the parents.

In this day of complicated machin- cry most farmers probably give little thought to the care of so simple an implement as blow. But more effort has been expended In the slow process of developing this seemingly simple tool than in that of any other imple- ment on the farm. It is the basic til- lage tool, the fundamental farm imple- ment, and 1t is richly entitled to be properly cared for when not In use.
 Store In Dry Place.
 When laid by, say the implement ex- perts, the blow should, if possible, be stored In a dry place, away from con- tact with the ground. In any case, the bright parts should always be coated with grease to prevent rust. Once the mold board and share have become pitted with rust, an efficient job of blowing cannot be done until the cor roded parts again have acquired pol ish by use.
 The United States Department of Agriculture, of course, does not stop with the blow in its admonition in this regard. Harrows, also relatively sim pie but tremendously important i'm plements, are, next to blows, most gen. erally neglected. Many farmers who would not neglect an expensive har- vesting machine, say the experts, are careless as to harrows and other i'm plements of this type. But these also 1or CT return Is possible If they are prop erly cared for at the end of the season.
 If harrows are stored under a shed the teeth should be supported by blocks or boards, so that they will not become embedded in the ground. All should be removed. This Is especially applicable to wooden-frame harrows. The earthly accumulations retain mois- ture and accelerate decay. When the wooden parts have dried out sufti- ciently they should be painted, to pre- vent season checking and splitting. As the harrow works in wet earth and close to the ground, deterioration is rapid once checking has started.
 If the disk harrow Is stored in a shed or other 1oorless building, the disk gangs should be run upon boards, so the disks will not become embed ded in the ground. Whether housed or not, the implement should be carefully cleaned of all accumulations of soil, and the disks should be greased with a heavy grease to prevent rust. The

FowIs Peculiar Appetite.

In a village In Hants, England, a man had a pen of fowls, enclosed in a wire run of finch mesh. Sparrows used to get in the run under the sides and the rooster one day killed and ate a young one. After that woe betide the sparrow that entered that pen, for the old hens acquired a liking for sparrow meat and they would chase sparrow about until they caught and killed it. In the fall the fowls were moved to another farm aud shortly after a wheat stack which was infested with mice was threshed The rooster and hens were soon on the job and had a merry time catch ing mice which they made short work of swallowing, after giving them a few raps on the ground.

Sixteen world war veterans from one post of the American Legion Tn Tulsa, Okla, have settled upon gov ernment homestead land in Scott County, Southern Arkansas. By cold weather, it is estimated that 100 ex-service men will have taken claims on the land.
 The territory which will become a settlement of world war service men, the first in America, stretches over 2,5OO acres, composed of adjoining individual tracts of 16O acres each. The men have to live on the land but seven months before it becomes their property as Arkansas gives residence credit to soldiers up to two years of army or navy service.
 Part of the men will spend the winter on their land, clearing timber, building, hunting and trapping, for the tracts abound in deer, fox and lynx. The sixteen who have already settled are preparing to establish a central trading point and town which they will name "Legionnaire." Four of the pioneers are married and all have had farming experience. Home stealing is now possible in the fol lowing other states: Washington Michigan, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Louisiana, Ala bama, Colorado, Idaho and Oregon.
 A family which in itself is thriv- ing war veterans society has come to the notice of the American Legion in Independence, Kas. Thirty-three able-bodied men and women call the Civil War veteran, Mama c. Bruner by the familiar ''papa." Of the lot the father, soldier of the Union in '61, is proudest of his even dozen sons who served overseas with the American forces in the world war Of the remainder, 20 are girls and one son was too young to fight The oldest is Az.
 The Pershing estate in Tangipahoa Parish, La., owned jointly by heirs ot John J. Pershing, father of the gen. eral of the armies, has been adver- tised for sale for taxes, according to a letter sent the general by the edi- tor of an American Legion magazine published in Amite, La. The editor posted sufficient funds with the par, ish sheriff to prevent the sale and requested General Pershing to make the estate available for colonization by his comrades who are being re- habilitated, after war wounds, fo1 agricultural pursuits. The Pershing tract contains 100 acres of the par. ish's best land.

ONCE UPON A TIME
 THERE WERE NO DOCTORS!
The Doctor Was Not Much Needed Until Folks
 Began to Break Natures Laws.

Doctors Preach Prevention Is Better Than Cure.
 Ninety per cent of all disease is preventable, so doctors say. Eat simple food, exercise wisely, sleep sufficiently, and-what is vitally inn portant-make sure of the daily, regular, thorough elimination of body waste, and the chances are nine to one that you will keep we'll, work efficiently and enjoy life. Bowel elimination of food and tissue waste is all-important. But in case of ir- regularity, disordered or imperfect action do not make the common mis- take of taking harsh, violently acting medicines, with the idea of forcing the bowels to act. Nature believes in mild methods. She responds best to persuasion.
 So in selecting a simple remedy to regulate and assure proper bowel action, you should not use harsh or violently acting remedies, no matter how much has been claimed for them. You should choose some we'll known, time tested, trial proven remedy, that has made it's reputation by being used for many years, by all sorts of people, all over the world. Take Beecham's Pills for example. Beecham's is household word, has been for many generations. Beech am's Pills is a household remedy, has been for overhaul century. People not only take Beecham's but recom- mend Beecham's to their friends. Their use is handed down from father to son or from mother to daughter, from one generation to another. Did you ever hear any complaint or criticism of Beecham's? Isn't that pretty powerful endorse ment of their worth? Druggists
