 MT, Hoover also forecast that "present price levels will no doubt stimulate production especially in Cuba, as at this moment plantation profits are very large"
 Comments on the sugar situation came during the day from Senator simmons, democrat, North Carolina, who led tho fight In the Senate against the administration tariff bill. and Basil NJ. Manley, director of the week ago urged the President to or der a department of justice investi- gation of price manipulations.
 Senator Simmons said in a state ment that present high prices were due to the preferential duty on Gu ban sugar. Declaring that President Harding's instruction to the tariff commission suggests that "he might have considered the tariff as at least a possible cause of the present high prices" Senator Simmons made this assert!on:
 Depend Upon Cuba.
 pIGIcI0uCo 5hCWh OoA tariff to Cuban sugar makes our market dependent upon the islands for It's principal supply. Our domes- tio raw beet and cane sugar Is now wholly in the hands of our refiners. These refiners also notoriously con- trol the Cuban sugar, and specula- tors who want to corner sugar only have to corner the Cuban supply This Is because we cannot draw any of our sugar supplies from Europe because the duty such sugar would be required to pay keeps 1t out Of competition with Cuban sugar"
 MT. Manly said he had told the President in a telegram that his or ders to the tariff commission were to be commended, provided the de- partment of justice takes prompt ac- tion to stop speculation and punish the conspiracy of profiteers who rigged the sugar market"
 A statement from the Farmers National Council contended that gov ernment control of tho sugar crop from producer to consumer as would be possible under the Norris Sinclair marketing bill creating govern ment corporation, Is essential to pro- tect producer and consumer"

GRAHAM TO DIE


 Governor Brandon probably will de- cline to interfere with the execution of Frank Graham, Talladega negro, who Is scheduled to be put to death Friday for tho murder of John Burk, deputy sheriff, in 1918. Although the governor has been rushed with let ters appealing for clemency and op- posing any change in the sentence, the record in Graham's case had found it's way to a permanent filing place Wednesday, which indicated that Governor Brandon would not take further action.
 If Governor Brandon does not com mute the sentence, the brother of the officer killed will pull the death trap. George w. Burk, brother of John w. Burk, was elected sheriff of Tallade- ga county last year, and 1t will be his duty to send Graham to his death. Burk was killed In 1918. but Graham disappeared and lived fore four years in Walker county under an assumed name.

Barrel Is Satisfactory
Self-Feeder for Swine

A cheap and satisfactory feeder for
young pigs can be made from a bar
rel, says E.. R. Gross, professor of
rural engineering at the State College
Of Agriculture.
A method found satisfactory by
many farmers and pig club boys of
the state Is to knock out heads Of a
barrel, and then from old boxes build
4 square platform Is inches wider than
the diameter Of the barrel. On the
center of this platform a pyramid with
a square base is built. The base is
made just large enough so the barrel
can stand over it.
Feed Is then put into the barrel, the
bottom Of which must be raised just
sufficiently to permit the feed to RUIZ
out as the pigs eat. This is done by
mailing four blocks under its edges.
With feed in the barrel the proper
height is easily determined.
In using this or any other type of
self-feeder the owner must be sure
that enough feed runs through fast
enough so the pigs will never 60 hun
CRY, and yet not so fast that feed will
be wasted underfoot.

Sudden Change to Rich
Pasture Nav Kill Pigs

It is quite common for pigs to bloat
and die quickly when suddenly turned
into green clover when they are very
hungry or not accustomed to such feed.
That often occurs when pigs have been
grazing grass and the pasture becomes
30 short that the owner decides a
change is necessary, and SO turns the
pigs into a lush growth of clover with
out due preparation. Wet clover, as
with cattle, is most likely to
bloat. Any green feed may have the
same effect, under similar circum-
stances. The modern method of rails
ing hogs IL to let them Craze a success
sion of green crops from early spring
until late IN autumn. Rye, oats and
peas, rape, clover. alfalfa and corn are
the crops most used for this purpose,
and losses from bloat or acute indiges-
ton do not occur under this system Of
feeding, as the pigs become accustomed
to the green feed early in the season..
and take 1t daily without becoming in
ordinately hungry.

First to Try Vaccination.

The first incubation for smallpox
was performed at Belgrade, Serbia, 205
years ago, when Lady Mary Wortley
Montagu caused her infant son to be
inoculated with the virus for the pur-
pose of warding off an attack of dis
ease.
Lord Montagu was British ambassa-
dor at Constantinople. Lady Mary's
brother had died of smallpox, and she
herself had been terribly disfigured by
the disease. She determined to expert
ment with the Turkish practice Of
migrating to save her son. Upon
returning to England she earnestly
sought to introduce incubation, but
the medical profession was solidly
against her. Clergymen also pro-
nounced incubation a presumption
which God would certainly punish.
At length four condemned criminals
were inoculated and. the test proving
successful, incubation was gradually
taken up by the medical profession.

Corn Fodder as Litter
Is Excellent for Hens

Litter is almost indispensable II
every henhouse where egg are desired
as we'll as healthy and contentec
fowls. Some farmers complain aboai
using good wheat or oats straw for the
hens to scratch in. In this event, cut
corn fodder makes an excellent ant
lasting litter for the poultry house
and even if one must pay to have the
fodder cut, it is cheaper than other lit
tiers.
When cut cup, ten bundles of corr
fodder makes eSough litter to cover
400 square feet of floor space: Fol- the
came space, when straw is used, al
least two bales would be required, ano
this would cost several times as much
as the corn fodder. Fodder is good not
only because of its cheapness, but also
because the hens like to eat the pieces
of leaves, thus obtaining some bulky
food, which Is often lacking In poultr!
r%ations.

Comfortable Houses for
Ducks Quite Important

In cold weather ducks should be
are so tender that when they come
In contact with the cold ground they
suffer greatly and hobble along as II
their backs were broken. However,
they should not be kept housed more
than Is really necessary.
If the roof Is good the rest is easy.
II the weather boarding is not suf-
iciently close to keep out draughts
in cold weather, cover the outside with
tarred paper or strip with hath.
A board foor is better than an earth
floor because the ducks will often stif
up the ground in a very ~disagreeable
manner when there Is the least sign oil
moisture.
Provide suitable houses if you wish
to be successful, The houses need moi
be very expensive, but they should be
substantial so that they may be used
for the same purpose several years ir
succession.
Ducks, both old and young, should
have a dry, comfortable place to stay
in at night. If forced to sit on the
damp ground they are liable to be
taken with cramps and colds in the
head. The latter are almost certain te
turn to Group.
There is usually some shed or build
ing that can be converted into a duck
house at small expense. Where onl!
a small flock is kept this plan Is ad'
visable.

P)U[IRl
Convert Old Buildings
Into Houses for Fowls

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Many farms have old-style closed-up
poultry houses, with poor light and
ventilation, or old sheds and other
buildings Of little use for other pur-
poses, that can be remodeled or built
over with little difficulty into s~atisfac-
tory poultry houses for the fiocks this
winter. The size and the shape Of the
buildings makes little difference, says
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture, but the essential factors are
dryness, good ventilation, freedom
from drafts, plenty Of sunshine, and
room enough to allow the birds to move
about with freedom and comfort.
II new houses are to be built or old
buildings converted into poultry
houses, locate them on high or sloping
ground II possible, but always on dry
and well-drained soil. The amount of
floor space to be allowed each fowl
varies somewhat with conditions, but
on a farm or where the birds can be
out Of doors nearly every day the de
partment has found that about PA
square feet Of floor space per bird In
flocks Of 20 is enough. In a village
or city or in a climate where there
is a good deal of snow, making 1t nee
essary to confine the birds closely, 4
or 5 square feet per bird is needed.
The interior of the house should be
simple, convenient, and easy to clean.
The converted poultry house may or
may not have a floor. If the house lis
on dry, sandy soil a dirt floor is usually
quite satisfactory although often more
damp than board or cement floors
Fresh gravel and sand must be added
from time to time to keep them SAM
tary. If board floors are used, make
them tight and smooth SO as to make
them dry and easy to clean. If pos.
sible, build board floors s or 10 inches
from the ground to allow a circulation
Of air and to prevent rats from har-
boring under them. Cement floors, es
pecially for large houses, are quite
satisfactory, as they keep rats out and
last much longer than board floors
They must be kept well covered with
litter, however, department workers
say, to make them warm and com

WAY TO MAKE A CAMP BED
Cut Down a White Fir, Use Bouohs
for Springs n Break Off
Tips for ~ Feathers"

Can YOU make a really comfortable
camp bed? Have you eve tried to?
Much of the comfort Of camping de
ponds on the kind of bed you have;
a good nights rest is the best prepa-
ration for q good days work or fun.
Most of us who have tried are OF the
opinion that the most satisfactory bed
is one made of boughs, and II it is
well made there is no doubt that q
bed Of this kind Is, in wood %parlance,
'all right"
To get the best material, you will
have to cut down a tree six or eight
inches in diameter at the butt. BY
reason of their fiat-curved form, the
boughs of the white fir, or balsam,
are the best for the. purpose; those of
the western fir are next in value. You
get your feathers by breaking off
the tips of the main branches twelve
or fourteen inches from the ends. The
stems are to furnish the springs for
the beds and should be at least half
an inch in diameter where broken Off.
The branches Of very small trees and
those near the top Of the large ones,
as we'll as the laterals of large limbs,
make poor beds.
Having secured enough material,
and having chosen a piece of smooth
ground which is level, or with a very
slight slope toward the foot, proceed
to make the bed. A pile a foot wide
and OF about the same height Is first
made across the head. This is the
'bolster." You will probably use the
softer portions of your spare bag
gage-your clothes-bag, for instance
for a pillow.
Next take a handful of the "feath-
ers,' and pressing the stems firmly
into the ground, lean them against the
bolster, placing them so that the butts
are nearly vertical and the general
slope toward the head is only about
that Of the curve. Lay a tier across
the width of the bed, another tier
against that, and SO on-as shingles
are laid on a roof-till a sufficient
length is covered.-Sportsman's Di-
gest.

Importance of Sire in
Breeding Up Beef Herd

The principal aims in buying breed
ing stock are to get animals of good
type end breeding, to get them as
cheaply as possible and to get healthy
and prepotent animals from a breed
ing standpoint. Bulls should be pure
bred, thick fleshed and blocky, with
plenty Of constitution. vitality and
strength. Two or three-year-old bulls
In medium condition, strong and ac-
tive, and raised under conditions SINH
lar to where they are to be used will
give best results. There Is no need to
buy show bulls to 60 on the range.
Valuable bulls should be put with
picked herds of pure bred females,
not put on the range with grades.
An inferior bull should not be used
because he is cheap. The bull does
not sire steers alone, but also sires
the heifers that make the future herd.
Consequently the bull should always
be al Improvement ove the cows. A
good rule Is to get bulls worth at least
three to five average lows in the herd.
The sire should be selected to cor
rect any general faults or deficiencies
Of the herd. If cows are lacking in
size, select a bull that Is a good all
around individual. hut Of especially
good size. II the cows are coarse and
lack quality or natural flesh, select
bulls that are strong in fieshing and
quality. The bulls should be of SINH
lar type and breeding so as to pro-
duce a uniform lot Of calves.
The main thing in buying grade
cows Is to get fertile, healthy, young
stock Of good size and showing az
least two or three crosses of pure beef
blood. Better results can be obtained
II the females are similar In type and
breeding. Fertility Is of great i'm
p%ortance. AS beef cows produce only
their calves each year to pay for care,
feed and depreciation, it is necessary
that as many calves be raised as pos
sible.-Charles I. Bray, Colorado Agrf-
cultural College.

ella, you have made me so very. hap

NURSERY CARES FOR
 30,0OO CHILDREN
Record Of Four Years Proves Its
 Need in New Britain

IA heaven of refuge for widowers with small children and no one to look after them, and for women who must work to support their families, is the Day Nursery at No. Winter street, which Is presided over by Mrs, Frank J. O'Brien. From early morn- ing until late at night Mrs. O'Brien and her assistants help make life pleasant and happy for 25 to 30 bright eyed youngsters. while their parents strive for their daily bread in local industries.
 The New Britain Day nursery. one Of the organizations in the United community corporation and whose share in the budget of sb0,000 is $3,- $50, is a very vital factor in the lives of many youngster in the commun- ity.
 Every day the children are given medical attention, instruction in sani- tary habits and hygiene, given good food, nourishing milk and hot choco- late, recreation, exercise and sleep. Children of school age are looked aft CT, fed, washed and sent to their studies. Nursery clothing is provided and the child's physical development carefully checked regularly. There are about 15 different nationalities represented at the institution at this time. All children. regardless of race, creed or color, are admitted.
 Sometimes the children are of fam lilies where the father is i'll and the mother must work; sometimes the mother has been taken away by death and the father needs help in looking after the youngsters; occasionally a mother is deserted by an erring hus- band, and while the aid of the law is invoked to bring back the negligent spouse the nursery looks after the offspring.
 During the four years since the nursery opened 375 families have been served In 1922 eight mothers worked for their winter supply of coal while the nursery looked after their babies, three mothers worked to pay off medical bills and five mothers earned warm clothing for the chil- dren. In the four years of the nurs- ery's existence in the city it has cared for approximately 30,000 children.
