PLAN TO PREVENT MQULTING
Natural for Very Early Hatched Pull
lets to Go Through Partial
Moult In Fall.

Every fall we hear a number Of re-
ports Of pullet-egg production being
cut down by fall moulting. This Is
perhaps only natural when we consid-
er that every one is working toward
early maturity and production by
means Of better breeding early hatch
ing and>heavy feeding. 1t is natural
for very early hatched pullets to stop
laying and go through partial moult
before cold weather. In addition to
this natural tendency, the moult may
be fastened by any sudden change of
feed, care or environment. The fol-
lowing simple rules, IL followed, will
be helpful to prevent this fall moult
1. Avoid Matching out of season;
March, April and May are best, the
exact time depending on the breed.
2. Provide free range during the en-
tire season.
8. Avoid rations containing an ex-
cess Of protein. =
A. Do not attempt to hold pullets
back, let them mature normally.
B. Have the pullets in their winter
quarters before production starts.
9. Avoid any sudden change In feed,
care or management after production
begins.-Connecticut Experiment Sta

'WRETCHED HEALTH

Stella Vitae Was Only
Thing That Saved Her.

to all my troubles but it saved me
from expenses that would have

mended to do" said Mrs. tEnoch
Broussard, Canal St., Jeanette, La.
Il don't believe anybody ever suf-
fered more than did from all those
complications that affected me. 1t
looked like just couldn't get rid of
those awful headaches and pains in
my back and legs; and that stomach
trouble worried me, too; for after
nearly every meal I would be in
great distress, and such an awful
time ! had with my nerves. Why,
they were just worn to a frazzle
and I couldn't sleep half the time
when went to bed.
II am grateful. too. for getting rid
of those spells of dizziness that
would come to me, for Stella Vitae
soon put an end to them and am
now in fine shape and able to enjoy
life once more. / am certainly glad
to recommend Stella Vitae to all wo-

Fallen Pecan Twigs Should be Pick
ed Up and Burned.

The pecan grower who keeps the
girdled-off twigs of his trees picked
up and burned in the fall and win
ter, that pecan grower has an eye
open to business.
Scientific men tell us that in the
newly fallen girdled-off pecan or
hickory twig are the eggs of an in
sect that may hatch out and in turn
girdle-off more twigs, ad infinitum.
The beetle that does all this grid
ling lays her eggs beneath the bark
near or at the base of the leaf
petioles. She then girdles-off the
-twig below where the egg is laid.
1t drops to the ground and the egg
matches and thrives in the dead
wood. And therein lies the secret:
the larva (young Matched worm)
cannot live upon green wood, there
fore, the mother beetle cuts the
.twig off the tree so it will die and
furnish supply of dead-wood food
for her young.
The eggs hatch in about three

mends the following method of con-

Gather the severed twigs during
fall and winter and burn them. In
this way all the eggs and larvae
which would develop into a new
generation the next summer will be
destroyed. If there are adjacent

with the same pest, the cut twigs of
those trees should be destroyed al
so."-Florida Extension Service.

We live amid the vital. orduous
duties of a day that knows no long

the activities, the interest, the SYM

presence of the lamented J. w. Nc
Grath, whose achievements for his
community. his state, and his fell
lows elsewhere, were measured only
by his broad vision and love for God
and man.
We live in the present, while our
dead sleep in eternity. But not for
getting the past or its memories of
benefcent, vaiorous deeds, we hold
them as spurs and incentives to pa
triotic endeavor and the onward
march of a people who were favored
for time by the leadership of him
for whom '.the battfe-fiags are
