Sometimes Need
Critic Keep On

Sometimes 1t takes grit to keep on
in the poultry business when there
have been some OF those unfortunate
and sometimes unseen occurrences
which come toeall poultry folks. The
kind of grit which is absolutely es-
sential whether there are discour-
agements or not is the kind that is
sometimes called the teeth OF the
hen" Sharp grit is required to sup
ply the hens gizzard, for grinding
grain. This grit wears out rapidly
and must be replaced. When laying
hens have been deprived of grit they
will eat it greedily.
Ore of the blessings that Salt
River valley poultrymen have is ex-
cess to decomposed granite which
seems to be preferred by the hens to
other kinds of grit. In some OF the
washes near the Salt River mountains
south of Phoenix there is an espec-
tally choice variety of this grit, all
pulverized and ready for shoveling up.
A California poultryman claims
that there is considerable amount
of lime in decomposed granite and
that hens that have acress to it that
have previously been laying soft
shelled eggs very soon begin to lay
eggs with hard shells.

Hatching And
Brooding By
Electricity

Hatching and brooding by cleo
tricity is not exactly new, but still
it is so short a time that it has
passed the experimental stage that
comparatively few poultrymen have
begun to think seriously of it. The
extension of electric lines through
out the Salt River valley is bringing
electricity to the farmers as well as
to suburban and town dwellers, and
within very short time there win be
few poultry farms that will not be
able to have electric service.
At the Mitchell hatchery at Mesa
last year number OF incubators
we're equipped with electric heaters
These proved so much more satisfac-
tory than the old oil lamps that all
incubators were so equipped this
season. 1t Is probable that in five
years there will be very few oil lamp
heaters on the incubators of the
hatcheries Of this valley.
AS most poultry keepers buy day
old chicks, it follows that there are
of necessity more brooders than incu-
bators, or there are more people
brooding chicks than are Matching.
To just what extent the electric
brooder has come to Arizona we cam
not say as yet, but we believe that
within very few years there will be
few brooder houses where electric
current is available that will not be
equipped with electric heated brood
ers. e.
First IN Valley
One of the first to use electricity
for this purpose in this valley is H.
d. McVay at his suburban home on
North Central avenue. A new poul-
try plant, as yet on small scale,
Is being built and a part of this up
Eo-date equipment is an electric
brooder. This brooder house is
built after a plan of a successful

iron trough four inches wide, three
inches deep and four feet long. This
rests on a board ten inches wide. to
each end of which is nailed an up
right the same width and thirteen
inches high. In each of these end
pieces is sawed a slot an inch wide
and ten inches deep This allows a
movable partition to rest on the
trough and divide it lengthwise, so
that the chicks may drink without
getting into the milk. Lengthwise
on this partition is nailed roof
board six inches wide. Cross cleats
under the base of the frame keep it
off the floor and prevent mold from
accumulating. This trough was de-
vised by the late Charles RomWall
and is very satisfactory.
Feeding the Chicks
Now let us get back to the feed
ing: The second half day of feeding
the chicks are started off on COM
mercial chick feed of cracked grains.
For the first few days they are fed
about every hour or hour and half.
They are let out of the hover to feed
and put back when they have enough
or when they begin to get cold. the
size of their playground being limited
by the movable board before men
toned. The sand on the floor is re-
placed by chopped alfalfa after four
days
when seven days old they are
given their first feed of greens,
which may be beet tops. green barley
or kale, chopped. On the eighth day
they are encouraged by a ladder or
runway to climb over the board into
the other half Of the pen and scratch
in the deep litter for the feed which
has been mixed with it. On the
eighth day they are also allowed to
run out of doors. and they are not
confined TO the house any more.
"Then the lights are turned on
every night and all night. There
is a 40-watt bulb to each pen. A
small hopper of charcoal is kept be-
fore the chicks all the time. When
they are six weeks old they are given
hoppers Of dry mash mixed in the
proportion of 120 pounds light bran,
so pounds ground corn, 25 pounds
charcoal and 80 pounds ground bone.
Roosts at Four Weeks
"At about four weeks the roosts are
put in. These are frames of 1x4
which fit on the hover. Over the
frame is stretched inch-mesh wire
and across are nailed six roosts 1x2
lengthwise of the frame. At six
weeks the hover is removed and the
roost frame set on cleats so that
the roosts are IA inches high, and
the movable board is set in front to
keep the chicks from going under.
The yard in front OF the brooder
house is l2x65 feet, thus correspond
ing in width to the pen. There is
very little difficulty or trouble of any
kind with the chicks. Toe picking is
not dreaded here. for the only time a

director general of state domains,
who has under his control several
thousand acres OF cotton land in var
ious parts of Egypt. This land pro-
duces great part of the planting
seed of Egypt, which Is distributed
annually by the government.
Mr.. Anthony explained that he was
not scientific seed breeder and that
he maintained the quality of his seed
by practical rather than by scientific
methods. Pickers are sent through
the fields regularly who select and
pick the best cotton stalks, and these
seeds are used In planting the cotton
grown on the state farms. Seed from
these selections, after one or two
crops on the state domains, are used
for purposes of distribution among
the other growers of the Egyptian
delta.
We understand that the high grade
cotton produced on these state plan
tations sells at a premium OF about
10 cents a pound over the price paid
for fully good SakeIlaridis. Mr.. An
thony and offers competent to Judge
were of the opinion that Sakellaridis
cotton produced from such seed is as
good as it ever was, reports at Liver
pool and Manchester to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
Roughly speaking, we learn that
the city of Cairo may be taken as the
dividing line between production in
upper and lower Egypt. The two
sections produce cotton of such diff
ferent character and length of staple
that a decree has been passed which
prevents the shipment of seed cotton
from one district to the other.
Varieties in Upper and Lower Egypt
In Upper Egypt 100000 feddans
were planted in 1921. against about
100000 in 1920. This cotton is all of
the Ashmouni and Zagora varieties.

Arriving in Alexandria in the late
afternoon of August 23, 1921, we
fought our way down the gang-plank
of the S. S. Cleopatra through
swarm of Egyptians, succeeded in
collecting our, baggage after some de-
lay and proceeded to the Custom
House. After paying 10 piasters to
an Egyptian customs official for the
privilege of prompt inspection we
were permitted to proceed to our
hotel, the Majestic.
The peculiar and colorful dress of
the Arabs, their various hues of COM
plexion, ranging from Caucasian to
Sudanese, and the wide differences in
intelligence and social standing ap-
parent among the population, drove
home the realization that we We're in
civilization quite different from
that of Europe or America. We We're
reminded keenly of Kipling's West is
West. and East is East" The per-
sistence of the dragomen in seeking
employment as guides and interpret
ers was worthy of better cause and
became an annoyance at times. Beg
gars, male and female, young and old,
and of all shades of color, were there
and vendors of every imaginable fruit
and trinket were everywhere and
were very persistent in pushing their
wares for sale. We were agreeably
surprised to find more automobiles in
proportion to population in Alexan-
dria and Cairo than in any European
city and apparently 80 per cent or
more were of American manufacture.
The automobiles contrasted strange
ly with the donkeys, mules, camels
and stations which are the common
beasts of burden used in these cities.

BICHAM IS DENIED
PLEA FOR new TRIAL
EXPECTED NEXT EFFORT WILL
BE BEFORE THE U. S. SU-
PREME COURT.

The Florence Times says: The su-
preme court of South Carolina has
denied the petition Of Edmund D.
Bigham for a rehearing of his case.
His attorney, A. L. King, received
the official advice this morning from
the court to this effect. This means
the conviction and sentence Of death
of the circuit court is upheld by the
highest court of the statc.
"This does not mean that the case
is lost" Mr.. King stated in regard
to the decision. eve have other re-
sorts and every known resource will
be exhausted before the case will be
abandoned"
In the same petition for the rehear-
ing, the convicted man asked for time
to prepare a writ of error to the
supreme court oil the United States.
The notice to Mr.. King did not spec
ify whether or noG the court had pass
ed on this request, either to grant or
to refuse the plea.
Mr.. King declined to state what
the next step in the case would be.
A certiorrari to the supreme court
of the United States is understood
to be the most probable procedure,
however. If it could establish the
grounds the supreme court then would
take into consideration the federal
angles CT the case.
The June term of the circuit court
is the earliest time when Bigham
could be resentenced. By that time,
his attorney expects to have taken
steps which will defer the execution.
He indicated this morning the pos
sible legal reports. yet available,
might keep the case in the courts
one or two years yet, with the pos
sibility within that time of getting
new trial which would prolong the
case still further.
Bigham was convicted here one
year ago last month of numbering
his brother, L. Smiley Bigham, in
January, 1921. He is under irdict-
ment now for the murder at the same
time of his mother, his sister, and
his sisters two adopted children.
The crime was committed near Pam
plico and stirred the state at the time.

THE CANTATA SUNDAY NIGHT.
A Delightful Union Service that will
Long be Remembered.

The Cantata given at the Methodist
church Sunday night was one of the
most delightful musical programs
ever rendered in Kingstree. 1t was

The text of the Cantata was "The
Resurrection and the Life" by Edith
Sanford Tillotson with music by Ira
Bishop Wilson. The program consist
ed of ten selections and each Of these
were rendered with artistic skill.
The writer has heard great many
large pipe organs, some Of which were
played by high salaried professionals,
but we have never heard sweeter and
more perfect notes thar were pro-
6uced by Mrs. Kelley Sunday night.
She seemed to have perfect control
CT the instrument, which in itself
is the sweetest toned We have ever
heard. Mrs. Kelley and Miss Crockett
are to be especially oommerded for
this delightful occasion, also each OF
the other members Of the choir.
The violin music by Mr.. Silverman
vas up to its usual high standard OF
excellence Snd was greatly enjoyed
by the audience, which numbered
;.bout 600 persons.
The program IF the evening was
presided over by the pastor Of the
church, the Rev. Mr.. Inabinet. The
scriptural lesson was read by Rev.
Mr.. Derrick, presiding elder, follow
ed with an appropriate prayer by the
Rev. Mr.. Davis cf the Presbyterian
church. At the conclusion Of the
service the bsnediction was pronounc-
ed by DR.. Walter Mitchell Of the
Episcopal church. The occasion was
a union service, participated in by
the several denominations. Mr.. Haw-
k;ns, paster of the Baptist church

CLEANUP WEEK
FOR KINCSTREE
MAYOR AND CHIEF OF POLICE
AFTER THOSE WHO FAIL
TO DO so.

AS 4 result of the visit last week
by DR.. Hayden o. the State Health
department and his talk to the Off
GERS ard citizens of Kingstree steps
are being taken to make this town a
more sanitary and respectable local
ity to live in.
Mayor Scott he's issued orders to
Chief of Police Kinder and the lat
ter is notifying the people of the town
what must be done within the next
week towards converting all open
closets into sanitary repositories and
if this is not done within the given
time all parties, regardless CT rank
or color, will be arrested and brought
before the mayor, who says that he
will have nd mercy whatever m pass
irg sentence upon them.
This may seem strong language,
but it is not too strong in view Of
recent experiences, and we believe
the mayor end CHIEF of police will
have the loyal support of every good
citizen in their efforts to get rid OF
the glaring and dangerous nuisances
that have for so long infested the
town and offended the alfactories OF
citizens not to mention the detri-
ment to their health and happiness.

A temporary injunction against the

A temporary injunction against the
South Carolina Tax Commission re-
straining it from enforcing the In
heritance Tax Act, passed at the last
session of the General Assembly, was
ordered last week by Chief Justice
Eugene B. Gary and was made, re-
turnable before the State Supreme
Court April "a. The action is brought
by ]. Edwin Belser, Of Columbia, ad-
ministrator of the estate of the late
John E. Lowery, who died December
1920, leaving an estate valued at
S5O,O0O. The contention is that III
section of the act providing a
tax against esus sThare in
process of administyle:on, but for
which final settlcmht has not been
made, is retroactive and therefore un-
constitutional. The State Tax Com
mission is in doubt about the inter-
pretation cf this section and there
fore welcomes the suit to clarity the
act.
