Ing. The hogs can always pass through
without STOPPING. and since there IL no
board to rub along their backs there is
less danger Of injuring them. The two
outside boards are nailed to the cross
pieces while the two middle boards arc
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.

Lighting Experiments.

where during the fall and winter the
nights are from IL 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 aud to do. This Is
from necessity rather than from
choice. for. given an opportunity to
eat. exercise. and enjoy herself for ~
hours a day, she lays nearly. II not
quite SO well. as during the summer
months.
Acting on this theory many poultry
keepers have found II 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 marked degree the
number OF eggs laid by pullets In the
fall and winter. II does not pay to
provide light Cor older hens. A u
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
phase OF poultry work. The results
secured thus fur corroborate the testi-
mony Of others as to the value Of u.

experiments are fed four times day,

To Put It Mildly, LongfeIlow was Not
Always Accurate in His De-
scriptive Poems.

The poet Longfellow has set an ex-
ample Of inaccuracy in dealing with
our Pilgrim ancestors which has been
widely followed. His charming poem,
"The Courtship Of Myles Standish,"
has been read by millions of his coun-
trymen and doubtless accepted by
great numbers as gospel truth. Yet
1t has no historical basis, says writ
er in the Boston Transcript. There
is not scintilla of evidence that the
fearless captain, who was small of
stature and red-haired. but every inch
soldier-had any desire to win the
affections of Priscilla Mullins. He
was a very busy man during the first
years at Plymouth. And, but for his
wisdom, skill and heroic actions, there
is little doubt but what they would
have all been murdered by wild saw
ages, who were not wholly restrained
by MassasOit. 1t seems too bad>that
so brave and unselfish a man as STAN
dish was should now be paraded be-
fore his descendants as rejected
sutton. He and they deserve better
fate.
The poet is no more accurate in
dealing with him than he is in de-
scribing the marriage Of John Alden
and Priscilla. What a pretty bit of
fiction it was to place Priscilla on a
"milk-white steer" when there was
not a cow nor a stoor IN all Nou,

Wonderful Nevada Opal.


The mines of Humboldt county, Ne
vada. have produced every kind Of
opal known to science. The great
black opal found there some years ago
was the largest ever discovered, weigh
ing 1919 troy ounces, or, In jewelry
phraseology, 2:565 karats. It is nearly
4 inches long, 8 1-8 inches wide and
averages 2 1-8 inches in thickness. It
is, in short, about half the size Of an
ordinary brick. At S. karat it's
value would be more than $15, 900, but
its great size increases the value to
the point where it is worth whatever
a gem fancier will pay for 1t. The
highest rating ever obtained for an
opal was that for gem from Hun
gary, which was estimated to be worth
$250OO0. On the same basis of rating
the Nevada gem would be worth as
much.
