Dear Parents
From Richmond l went to Spartan
burg, South Carolina.
AS 1 entered the city I saw one Of
the largest cotton factories in the
United States. At this factory I saw
hundreds of bales being opened and
thrown upon rollers which loosen the
after which it is thrown upon
another roller which cleans it. After
that it runs through another machine
which tears 1t apart ana Inen IL is
brushed and combed by machinery
and made into a thread about the size
of a broom stick. After that it goes
through another machine which
twists it again and again but even
this is not enough to make a thread
for it takes two of these to make a
thread like we use.
When the threads are all prepared
they are woven into cloth such as
we wear, overadls, shirts, and all

kinds of cotton goods.
After going through the factory ]
thought I would like to see how the
cotton is grown. I first visited a field
where the plants were all green A
little farther south I visited a field
that was ripe. In this field | tried
to pick some of the cotton but it came
out so easily it almost fell into my
hands.
After the cotton is picked it goes
through a machine called a gin, which
Mr.. whitney invented for the purpose
of separating the seed from the cot
ton.
Perhaps you think cotton is worth
very much but 1T is not nowadays
Cotton is raised in North Carolina,
Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Louist-
ana, Arkansas, Texas, and South
where I am now visiting.
There is still another kind of cot
ton tina grows on the islands near
the Carolinas and Georgia. 1t is
therefore called sea island cotton

GROWTH CYCLES OF HElFERS
Young Dairy Animals Pass Through
Three Distinct Perods-Feed
an Abundance.

Breeders OF dairy cattle commonly
believe that the rate of growth of
their stock is more or less uniform,
but at gradually decreasing rate as
the animals reach maturity.
From the large amount Of data
available on the normal growth of
dairy cattle. the interesting and
scientifically important fact that the
dairy heifer does not make uniform
gain In weight during the growth
period, but that the gains are made in
spurts or cycles has been discovered
by the department of dairy husbandry
of the Missouri College of Agriculture.
1t has been found that the dairy
COW passes through at least three such
cycles of growth. The first spurt or
period of very rapid growth occurs
before birth, during the fifth and sixth
months. The second squirt of growth
begins about two months before birth

TX. A1R.GAps AND LIGHTNING SWITCHES

A great many people are very much
afraid Of lightning following an aerial
and injuring the premises, for they
seem to think that the wires attract"
lightning, just as many people with
intelligence and education still believe
that steel knives or hardware or wire
netting window screens "attract" the
lightning. AS matter Of fact, none
of these things "attract" the lightning,
but merely form a convenient conduc-
tor to enable the lightning to ground
Itself. Lightning-rods are designed for
the same purpose and a properly in
stalled aerial, instead of jeopardizing
a building, is really an excellent safe
guard and makes a splendid lightning
rod. Lightning strikes a building or
object when it is trying to find way
to the earth and if the object struck
Is good conductor of sufficient ca
pacity it does no damage. For this
reason, houses covered with wire net
ting and climbing vines are far safer
than those which are bare, and steel
buildings, such as the New York sky
scrapers, steel bridges, elevated struc-
lures, iron smokestacks and chimneys,
iron steamships and railway tracks
are seldom injured by lightning al
though frequently Struck; the reason
being that the electricity passes
through them freely without encoun-
tering resistance. On the other hand,
wooden buildings, trees and human
beings are poor conductors and when
dry are almost non-conductors of
electricity, and when the lightning
tries to follow such objects to ground,
the resistance Is so great that serious
damage is done. 1t is exactly like fore.
ing water through pipe. If you have
4 powerful stream Of water or q great
volume Of water and provide pipe
large enough for 1t to flow freely,
the pipe will not be injured, even If II
is very light and frail; whereas, If
you attempted to force the same
stream or same volume through a
much smaller or clogged pipe, the pipe
would be burst or the water would
overflow and flood the surroundings

are concerned there is no danger and

The busy hen is the laying hen.
The less exercise market fowls get
the more quickly they will fatten.
When milk Is used us the sole drink
for chickens no other animal protein
is necessary.
Most of the losses OF baby chicks is
due to the fact that they are improp-

Meat scraps and also tnnkage Will
help fill the egg basket. Add 10 per
cent Of either to the grain ration.
Success or failure in the turkey busi-
ness depends largely on the selection
of breeding stock. Health and vigor
should be the first considerations.

records Of fires or injuries from aerials
during thunder storms are extremely
rare. During an electrical storm the
instruments cannot be used owing to
the static" or electricity In the air
and the confusion Of currents, waves
and inductance, and by installing a
lightning-switch or an air-gap there
will be no danger to the premises.
In fact, a properly installed aerial
does not affect the rate Of insurance
and If installed In accordance with
the regulations of the local fire de-
partment you may be sure there Is
not the least danger. The fire de-
partment records Of New York City
do not show single instance of con-
flagrations started by aerials and
lightning.
The simplest and best safeguard for
receiving aerials is the air-gap shown
in Fig. 18. This consists Of two
metal attachments separated by about
one-eighth of an inch ABB, one of
which (A) is attached to the lead-in
wire (the wire to set being fastened to
it also) while the other (B) Is con-
nected by wire to the ground di-
rect. This gap is mounted in much
the same manner as lightning
switch, Fig. II (on a window sill or
other convenient spot), in which A
shows connections to aerial, B to re-
ceiver and G to ground connection.
When the station is not in use, or
during thunder storms, the handle D
is thrown from A to G, this cutting off
all connection between the lead-in
wire and the instruments and connect
ing the aerial directly with the ground.
Aerials for sending or transmission
stations are very different from those
used for receiving only and should
be Of several wires. The most efficient
is probably the "cage" type shown in
Fig. 1s, but any Of the others illustra-
ted in Figs. 10, 20 and p will answer.
These should, Of course, be fully in
sulated and the various methods Of
doing this are well shown in the
figures and require no explanation. To
install sending stations a license Is
required, whereas to receive, no
license Is needed.

HATCHING GUINEAS is HARD
Young Fowls Are Tender at First and
Must Be Kept Out Of Wet
Varied Ration Best,

Young guineas sometimes appear to
be deformed when first Matched, and
as rule the apparent deformity is
simply the result of slow hatch.
When chicken hens or incubators are
used, 1t is an easy matter to give the
eggs proper attention. Guineas resent
Intrusion, especially while sitting.
This alone would be sufficient reason
for Matching with chicken hens, or
with incubators, although there is still
another reason not given. Guinea hens
If not controlled will drag the young
guineas around through the grass in
all kinds Of weather, and the result can
easily be imagined. OF course, young
guineas need exercise, but they are
very tender at first and should be kept
out of wet grass or rain. They are
far less apt to take gapes if kept
dry 1t Is the same with chicks and
turkeys.
During the first few days after
guineas are hatched they have to be
fed quite frequently. We feed little
every two hours. Dry bread, finely
crumbled with little chopped
greens" such as lettuce or onions,
will always give good results. A little
coarse sand is sprinkled over the feed
at first. but this is not necessary after
they have learned to eat grit when
ever required. However, sharp sand
and other grit should always be pro-
vided. Boiled eggs are not suitable
food for young guineas as they are al
most sure to cause constipation, After
they are few days old they will eat
oatmeal dry, or cornbread. A varied
ration is better than any one feed.
When they are few weeks old they
will eat cracked corn, whole wheat or
whatever chicks will eat. When they
are a month old they should not be
fed more than three or four times a
day, and If they have good range, a
very little feed each time will be sufii-
cient. In fact, they could get along on
two feeds a day, but we like to teach
them to come home for feed. They
are great foragers, and If there are
any grain fields near, they will make
regular trips to pick up what they can
find among the stubble. Guineas, both
old and young. are good bug-catchers
and they will not injure garden crops
as chickens are apt to do, because they
rarely scratch unless grain Is thrown
among litter-Poultry Tribune.
