BEST TIME TO BEGIN
WITH POULTRY FLOCK
Pulets Are to Be Preferred When
0btainabfe.
Fowls Selected Should Be Well Ma
tured So They Will Begin Produo-
Ing Eggs Before Severe Win
ter Weather Sets In.

Beginnings in poultry raising may
be made at any time of the year, but
the fall is perhaps the best time for
small poultry keepers to make their
start Obtain pullets whenever posi-
bic rather than older hens, say ex-
perts of the United States department
OF agriculture. The pullets selected
should be well matured SO they will
lay before cold weather sets in.
Here are the signs Of maturity in
pullets: Red color of the comb, and
size and growth which are creditable
for the breed or variety raised. Ma
ture hens lay few eggs, II any, during
the fall and early winter, while they
are melting. Well-matured pullets, on
the other hand, should lay fairly well
and give an immediate return on the
investment.
When pulfets are to be purchased
1t is desirable to go to some farmer

For Launching LIfeboats Safely.

The hurried launching Of lifeboats
from disabled vessels is usually at

a new method Of lowering the boats

keel. and gives them forward i'm

hanging In davits, rests in cradle

breathed. but this time she did not
hold the letter idly and look out the
attic window at-nothing.
She left the rest of the letters on
the floor and rushed down to the
library, where she busted herself with
paper and pen, and wrote a telegram.
Calling the telegraph Office on the tele-
phone, she read the message. Then
she sat and again perused the clos

earthed in the attic. These lines were

.
The earth was so far below 1t
looked like hazy dream world.
Many clouds intruded between the
distant globe and the aviator; 1t was
like tossing about in a boat on a
white-capped sea, looking down
through the depths to an ancient city
engulfed by a flood.
Frost covered the flyers clothing;
1t hung to his eyebrows and his nose,
and film of it held his mouth shut.
What little of his face showed
through the headdress was almost
devoid of blood. He was breathing
what grimly. as he looked at his
altimeter and saw that he was 10000
feet above the earth.
Mechanically he pulled back the
stick and began climbing further. AS
he went up the difficulty of breathing
became more pronounced, and frost
gathered; but he did not hesitate. In
to wireless telephone strapped about
his shoulders he called:
"Hello, Major; $1,000 feet now"
He was struggling to breathe, but
he managed to speak the few words
rather calmly, although the effort
was prodigious.
"I'm fool to go up any farther"
he thought. "but what's the use of
returning to the sorrowful old world?
There's not much sunshine any more
since Elsie went back on me-"
He pulled back the stick and con-
tinued the climb, and his suffering In
creased with every foot he mounted.
He began to grow weak and his head
to roar; but he did not falter.
"Hello, major; $4,000 feet" he SAID
family into the phone. The majors
voice came back:
"Hello, Jack. Listen, here's a tele-
gram I received for you. 1t just ar
rived. Do you want it now"
Jack was surprised. Who would he
sending him a telegram? He won
dered If 1t was a ruse to make him
go down.
Lets have the message" Jack
called into the phone.
"Here 1t u.s." said the major across
the expanse of space.
Somebody mislaid your last letter
to me while was away, and I just
found 1t today. If you still mean
what 1t says, my answer Is. Yes, yea,
yes"
Jack stopped gasping. He hest
tated moment, and looked at the al
timeter with a peculiar smile.
Slowly he moved the stick forward
and gradually the plane began to de-
scend.
As far as Jack Reynolds is con-
cerned, Major Schroeder can keep the
altitude record

TO PREVENT GARLIC FLAVOR
Where Found In Small Patches Fence
Off and Pasture Grass to Sheep
or Other Animals.

Garlic flavor in milk may he pre-
vented by keeping the cows away from
the garlic or wild onions. II they are
found only in small spots of the pas
ture they may frequently be fenced
Off and the grass pastured by young
stock, sheep or horses. But IL the
garlic is pretty well distributed the
Objectionable flavor can be reduced to
a minimum by taking the cows from
the pasture at least four hours before
milking. At noon put them in the
barn or in pasture free from garlic.

turned to the waiting plane. IF l
had just one Of them I'd stay down
here on the ground"
He mounted to the seat and tried
the controls. His lifebelt was buckled
round him, the engine started by an
assistant, and the big bird took a
quick run and scared aloft, gradually
circling higher and higher until it be-
came a speck.
The group of three kept vigil in
building at an edge of the flying field.
The officer with the white mustache
sat at wireless telephone.

er listening for some time. HE says
he's up $4,000 feet and still going"
In the attic of a modest dwelling in
a middle western city girl sat in an
old rocker and united a blue ribbon
from bulky pack Of letters.
The girl was pretty, although her
form was rather frail. She had an
abundance Of burnished-gold hair.
There was much graveness in her
looks and demeanOr. and something
expressive of sadness about the down.
ward curves at the lip corners.
She sighed as she separated the
letters one from the other, and Sc
lecting one haphazardly drew 1t from
Its envelope.
Good old jack" she said some
what wistfully, as she read. and
after she had finished she sat hold
ing II idly in her hand while she
looked through the attic window at
nothing.
She resumed her perusal OF the
messages from the past, but as she
separated the letters her eyes sud
denly took on an expression OF
establishment, and she held up a
bulky envelope, addressed to her, but
unopened.
Here's one / never read!" she ex-
claimed. How could It have hap
pened? Possibly when / was down
nj the lake last summer little sister
got this from the post Office"
She looked at the postmark and
made out that the letter had been
mailed in Texas just n year ago, lack
ing few days.
"It must have been his last" she
decided, and suddenly she tore open
the envelope As she read her race
became pale.

LATE CHICKS REQUIRE CARE
Plentiful Supply Of Sour Milk Helps
to Produce Rapid Growth-Fur-
nish Dry Mash.

The late Matched chicks can seldom
be made as profitable as early Matched
stock, but the handicap Of age can be
partially made up by good care. Chicks
that are Matched during hot weather
must have shade provided for them.
Plenty Of sour milk helps to produce
n rapid, vigorous growth. 1t pays to
keep a dry mash before them at all
times and have the hopper wide
enough so that the most vigorous
chicks will not crowd the chicks away.

CHARLIE JEWTRAW IS A
 WONDERFUL ICE SKATER
By Peter p. Carney


 Charlie Jewtraw made his debut as seasons ago and from the very start attracted attention and was the talk of the skating world at the end of his first skating season. The season was in 191S-19 this idol of the skating fans of the Adirondacks. won the Internat- ional Amateur Championship at Lake Placid, placing him before the public as the most sensational skater of the day. He met and defeated handily ev- cry skater of prominence and his burst of speed was something to he wonder cd at, as in nearly all of his races in he was close to many worlds records. The season of 1919-2O he lost the cham pionshiD on account Of a serious in jury received in races in the early part Of the season and even with this great handicap against him, gave the cham pion hard fight. Every race in which he competed in his handicapped po- sition was trying on every nerve. but still he was game and fought with every ounce of strength he had. At the start of the season Of 1920-21 he tried with Joe Moore. present Inter- national Champion in the Middle At lantic Championship at Newbugh. He won the National Outdoor Champion ship at Saranac Lake, February l. 2. 5, and finished only 20 points behind | Joe Moore when the latter won the 1 International Championship at Lake 1 Placid. Like Moore, Jewtraw is well 1 developed, clean living boy and much i may he expected of him in future skat- | ing events.

Chicago, May 25.-Crop failure news from Nebraska sent the wheat market soaring today, although earlier de- cided break ir values had taken place, The close was furried 3-4c to [ net higher, with May S1.73 1-2 to $1.7s s-4 and July $1.34 1-4 to $1.34 3-4 Corn gained 2 1-4 to 3. and oats 5-s to 1-4.

 There was remarkable fish in the contest between the American repre- senttive Hunt and Quilter of Walton Heath. Hunt was ? up at the four teenth, but lost of bounds but his next a terrific brassie shot, was on the green and he hoIed an eighteen yard putt to square the match. He then won the seventeenth with brilliant three, and getting half at the eight eenth, beat Hunt by one up.

ACADEMY LOSES TO WESTERLY

N. P. A. after having won i've straight games, lost to Westerly High Tuesday afternoon at vose Park. Westerly, in loosely played game by the score of 10 to 6. Till about the seventh inning N. F. A. looked like the best bet and had several chances to put the game on ice, but they were not qui4e equal to the task. From the seventh on ths hoys became discouraged at the decisions of Umpire Palmer. Without a doubt he pulled some of the worst decisions ever witnessed It may have been unfnten- dumbest of dumb bells. But 1t is no use grabbing now, he got away with 1t, so give hiu credit.
 N F. A. drew first blood in .he sec ond innins. scoring one run. In +he next frame they pushed over another. Westerly broke into t1e game the fourth. scoring one run and sending Hitchin to the showers. Hitch is still bothered with a sore southpaw. Dffly was sent to the hill. In the rfth old Diff1y was bombarded heavily, but he stopped their onslaught after they had scored once.
 Tn the second half of the seventh came the deluge To start with N. r A. was in the lead by the same score, of 10 2. Then the nine Westerly me1 began hitting and Umpire Palmer became de- lirious, and their combined efforts yield ed runs. The old game was won right there N. F. A did make a last vain effort to stage a ninth inning rally but tw oruns were all that they could gath CT.
 Maine pitched for westa-y. He was touched for 12 hits enough to win an ordinary game but this was no ordinary game.
 Captain Joe Paradis performed rare feat hitting safely five times in five trips to the saucer, for total of six bases. Joe is now batting well over
 400 The old winning streak is all shot to pieces. and the boys had hopes of fin ishing the season without another de- feat. But it is all in the game.
