NEARLY KILLS LION
WITH BATTEO BALL

Ping Bodie once received
credit for air lost killing a full
grown lion with a batted ball.
Longer ago than Ping likes to
admit that he played baseball,
he smacked one against Los
Angeles pitcher. Being on for
eign ground the fans let out a
roar of anguish and discomfort
as the ball went over the fence.
A peaceable, law-abiding lion,
slumbering in his cage in the adj
jacent zoo, came to bat with a
roar even more audible when
the ball doomed against the top
of the cage. The dismal moan
Of the beast led fans TO believe
Ping had killed the animal, and
such was the news printed in
all the Pacific coast papers the
next day.

POULTRY ouL1ING EXHIBITS.

The Farm Bureau conducted two
chicken culling demonstrations re-
Gently, Mr.. Ralph Hughes doing his
work in the usual efficient manner.
About half of the flock of Pat Du:-
'fy's was culled out, while about one
third of the flock of Mrs C. o.
Meyers was disposed of. There
were twenty eight people present at
the two demonstrations, thus spread
ing the method of culling to several
farms in the communities. Culling
poultry Is one of the educational
features of Farm Bureau work AL
though this is not the proper time
of the year to do this work, several
are calling for it, The time best
adapted for culling Is from July on
through to December, Most every
hen is capable of 1iayfng some esgs,
and they will usually lay them about
this time of the year. You have
wintered your ffehs through this
far. consequently they should not
be culled until they lay. their eggs.
and pay you back for at least part
of your feed bill.
1t is physically impossible to call
on each individual farmer and Gull
his flock as this would take months
The main idea is to instruct as many
as possible at the community dem
onstrations. Community organiza-
tion is the foundation upon which
Farm Buraeu work is based, so
boost. the Farm Bureau movement in
your community.
