Simple Reason Why Girls in Railroad

"What a villainous station this is
They try to irritate one on purpose.

KILLING OFF BEST CHICKENS
Housewife Makes Mistake in Getting
Rid of Cockeres Because They
Are Large.

The housewife who kills off her
largest and best cOckerelS and pullets
is not as much poultrywoman as
some people think. Often it is the
cockerels that are the most valuable,
yet nearly every farm woman thinks
she is justified in killing off her larg-
est chicks if they happen to be cock
erels. 1t is not very hard matter to
get 50 and So for good, vigorous util-
ity cockerels nowadays. Better be
certain before you kill the next one.

SPRAY POTATO LEAF HOPPER
Bordeaux Mixture Should Be Applied
Thoroughly to Under Side
of the Leaves.

You can get the potato leaf hopper
by using bordeaux mixture. The
formula employed consists of four
pounds of copper suphate, four
pounds Of unslaked lime to fifty gal
Ions Of water. The spray should be
applied 10 the under side of the leaves
thoroughly using at least $50 pounds
pressure. This pressure gives a fine
mist spray. At least three applications
are recommended and fourth might
be given to advantage. Both sides Of
each row should be thoroughly
sprayed to make the job complete.

DIFFICULTIES WITH TURKEYS
Hard Work to Keep Flocks From
Wandering Over Wide Area and
invading Other Farms.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
One of the greatest difficulties with
which turkey growers have to contend
Is to keep their flocks from wandering
over too wide an area and invading
neighbOring farms. To some extent,
feeding heavily night and morning re-
duceS the area over which turkeys
range, but even then they often go too
far. When trouble of this kind OC-
ours, the most effective plan is to
drive them into an Enclosure and keep
them there until about noon.
In warm weather turkeys do most
of their ranging early in the morning,
and by nine o'clock they are usually
as far from home as they will get dur
ing the day. AS soon as the sun be-

Turkeys Do Most of Their Ranging
Early in Morning.

comes very warm they spend most of
their time in the shade, until three or
four o'clock in the afternoon, when
they begin moving toward home, rang
ing for feed along the way. If the
weather is not too warm they do not
spend so much time lying in the shade,
and consequently range over a larger
area, and may keep moving away
from home until noon. BY feeding
in the pen every morning they soon
learn to 60 there on coming down
from roost, and no time is lost in pen
ming them. If they fly out of the
pen after being fed, the flight feath-
ers from one wing should be clipped.

ing commenced Tuesday forenoon and

ing the afternoon, the court .ad djourned
to inspect the river banks in the vicini-
ty of the dam as far up as the Goodno
place, observe flaw of the river, and
obtain other data by observation.
Judge Butler made the trip as did the
attorney Fred L. Laird and s. Hol-
lister Jackson for the town and Fred
f. Gleason and Edwin ". Lawrence

The case was first entered in Sep
tember term of 1920. Attorneys for
the town claim major damage to q
road skirting the river for distaHcs
of 5000 feet above the dam, and lesser
damage above that point, owing to
saturation of the soil and undermining
of the road. Besides damages, an in
junction restraining the company from

and lay il in the tonneau of the car.
As he did 50 his attention was taken
from the wheel and the car swcrved
over the bank, striking a tree between
the wheels on the left side The tree
saved the car from going farther down
the bank which was very steep. Mr..
Gordon was running at low rate of
speed at the time and this prevented
the accident from being serious one.
Those riding whit Mr.. Gordon were
Mrs. Gordon, Philip Gordon and two

les have friends in high places in the
federal government were made to-day
in the Senate by Senator Harreld, Re-
publican, Oklahoma. in the course Of a
prepared address urging tariffs on crude
petroleum and fuel oil.
The Oklahoma senator declared that
since his attack on these companies
in the Senate year ago, great pres
sure had been brought to hear on him
to desist in his efforts TO "curb the ra I
pacity of these monopolists' and that
he had felt the effects of their efforts
directed against his promotion in the
Senate.
I'm this connection he said, II feel
it my duty to say that they are more
strongly entrenched in governmental
affairs than great many people real
ize. i have wondered at the influence
they have over certain members Of
Congress, only to find later that there
was a reason. They seem to be able
to employ the friends and relatives OF
members of Congress in a way that
gives them friends in high places.
Members high in administrative cir
cles are either stockholders in these
monopolistic companies or have rela-
tives who are, and / have ceased to
Vonder that they sometimes get favors
from unexpected quarters
Charging that three companies he
named. had monopoly of production
of oil in Mexico, Mr.. Harreld told the
Senate it was their policy to change
all that the tariff would bear and that
consequently the price would not be
affected by tariff. He urged that on
the other hand, the tariff would bring
to the government huge amount of
revenue and at the same time protect
the thousands Of small independent
producers in the United States.
