Chicken Flock Need Not
Be a Nuisance in Towns

Neighbors frequently object to the
keeping of poultry in towns and cities,
most complaints being against the
vociferous rooster and disagreeable
odors. In some cities and towns there
are regulations to prevent or. control
poultry keeping, but the United States
Department of Agriculture says that
the flock need not be nuisance.
There will be no annoyance from doors
If the dropping boards are cleaned
daily and the yards are kept reason
ably clean. There is no necessity for
keeping rooster unless the owner In
tends to hatch chicks, and in that case
the rooster should be disposed Of as
soon as the hens have been set. A
flock without a male will produce just
as many eggs and, what is more the
eggs will be infertile and will keep
better.

New Paris Ideas
for Early Summer
Dresses Simple in Outline
and Very Complicated
in Detail.

Very lovely are the early summer
models now being shown by the lead
ing Paris dressmakers, writes Paris
fashion authority in the Boston Globe.
Most of these dresses are simple in
outline and very complicated in de-
tail; this Is the note of the season.
Colored organdie muslin is going to
be exceedingly prominent this summer
and in many cases we shall find valu-
able laces dyed to match the unex-
pected colors of the muslin.
Green, in all shades, is one of the
most popular colors Of the year. /
have lately seen rass-green velvet
dinner dresses hemmed with sable and
embroidered in silver or pale gold. We
are entering on an era of brilliant col
ors and In this connection we shall
find green, bright blue and a curious
shade of puce-pink much used.
Dress experts are insisting that
black dresses have gone out" 1t Is
certainly true that we see very few
all-black costumes this spring, but on
the other hand find that the best
dressmakers in the rue de la Paix are
making black foundation for elabo-
rate and costly creations. This Is espe-
cially true of black lace. There is
certain make of fine black chantilly
which is freely used for dinner dresses,
plated or gathered and combined
very successfully-with dark blue
tulle or tete de negre chiffon.
1t Is certain that flower trimmed
hats of an claiborne order will be very
much worn this summer. Just at the
immediate moment we are clinging to
our smart little cloche shapes trimmed
with length Of ribbon, or merely with
a handsome tassel or plaque, but the
Paris milliners have decided to bring
back deliberately trimmed hats and
am afraid we shall have to accept
them. This does seem rather a pity

sally becoming, especially when accom-

Fish Fighting Greatest
Sport of Natives of Siam

DIR. Hugh M. Smith, former United
States commissioner Of fisheries, be.
fore he left for Siam, told the follow.
ing interesting story Of customs In tho
country where he has gone to serve az
fisheries adviser.
DR.. Smith said that In Siam one Of
the national sports Is fish fighting. He
said, instead of bull fighting, horse
racing, baseball and other sports. the
native Of Siam carries in his hip pock-
ct little bottle or tube, much like
test tube used by physicians, just
large enough to hold fish about two
inches long and water to sustain its
life.
Often when two or more Siameso,
meet they say, Lets have fish fight
I'll bet my fish can beat your fish,
and then the fun begins. They hume
for a larger vessel in which to stage
the fight When this has been obs
tanned they fill 1t with water and put
In their pets. The fish dart at EACH
other and continue to push and fight
until one or the other is wounded or.
incapacitated. DIR. Smith says these
little fish are very hearty and fero-
cious and put up very interesting
scrap.

Free Choice System of

A study of the free choice system Of
mash feeding for chickens made by
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture at its experiment farm To-
Gated at Beltsville, Nd, showed that
the best results and highest egg pro-
duction are obtained when hens are

stituents. 1t was found that hens Sc
lected mash composed Of Sc parts
cornmeal, 20 parts meat scrap, parts
wheat bran and parts wheat mid

with Leghorns, and less stimulating
mash, containing more bran and
ground oats, with less meat scrap, has
given better results with general-pur-
pose breeds.

Taking Tail From Lambs
Not Difficult Operation

The time to take the tail from the
lamb is In its second week of life. The
operation Is not difficult and docking
the lambs simply removes something
unnecessary to the lamb. Two men
and a sharp knife or a docking iron
are all that Is necessary. Let one man
hold the lamb, while the other To-
Gates the joint in the tail by feeling
on the inside. Push back the loose
skin so that flap will grow over the
stub and cut the tail off at a Joint
about one and one-half inches from
the body. The cut is simply made
with sharp knife, in which case a
stout cord tightly tied about the stump
close to the body will stop unneces-
sary bleeding. This cord should be
removed In eight or ten hours so that
there will be no sloughing.
A much better way of docking the
lamb is the use of hot docking irons,
soaring the tail off with an iron heat
ed to a cherry red. This cauterizes
the wound and prevents bleeding.

Number of Pigs Lost Before WEAVING
D., mn E-..-.I
Total died in each 1000
narrowed az

These records serve to show that
fully one-fourth to one-third of the
feed and other expense In keeping
sows is lost before weaving, by not
giving the sow proper feed and care
during CESSATION or proper narrowing
quarters, the department points out.
BY far the major share Of losses in
pigs is due to improper handling and
feeding and not to disease.
Sows running on pastures while
sucking pigs saved the largest litters.
Sows that were fed the following
quantities Of feed, per one hundred
pounds liveweight monthly, during the
CESSATION period, narrowed the largest
filters: As pounds of corn, 10 pounds
of oats, LIS pounds Of tankage. Tried
sows that had produced pigs previous
ly seemed In this study to show ten
dency to produce larger filters than
untried gifts.
Cause Of Losses.
A similar study upon 1874 spring
pigs produced on these same farms In
the spring of 1921 showed that $40 of
every 1000 pigs narrowed died before
the date of weaving The important
causes of losses in the spring of 1921,
as In 1922, were pigs laid on by the
mother sow, and those born dead or so
weak they could not get up to suckle.
The 1921 pigs, however, were bothered
more with necrotic enteritis than were
those in the spring of 1922.
The study indicates that barring
fluctuations in prices of feeds and the
occurrence Of disease, the number of
thrifty pigs produced per SOW more
than any other factor influences the
cost of producing pork. All the care
in feeding possible after weaving the
pigs can very seldom overcome the
production cost due to small filters,
the department says. The figures show
that the majority of sows last winter
had carrying charge Of SIS to $25
per head, which covered the cost of
carrying them while producing a lit
ter of pigs; with large share Of the
sows this meant carrying charges for
twelve months.

DISCOVER SECRET OF
LONG GOLF DRIVING
Simply Suppress Muscles Which
Are Antagonistic.

The secret of long driving has been
discovered, and 1t is no longer mys-
terry. Then, again, long driving is not
an accomplishment for the favored and
select few. Anyone can do 1t.
A London doctor and man OF
science has discovered that the secret
Of long driving Is merely matter
of the elimination Of opposing muscles
The perfect shot Is obtained by sup
pressing those groups Of muscles ans
tagonistic to ether groups that co..
ordinated are responsible for aiming
the club at the ball.
There, what could be simpler than
that?
Ii you would be a longer driver, JUST
suppress the evil muscles. The only
catch In the explanation Is the failures
Of the learned scientist to say just
what the evil muscles are. He ex-
plains, however, that these evil mus
cles are those which behave badly
when a conscious effort has a devastat-
ing effect on the function OF the other
muscles.
In other words, the long driver, DUR
Ing the few moments that he Is swing
Ing at the ball, must have mind which
Is complete blank. For 1t is the mind
which brings the antagonistic muscle
into play and spells the shot. The
conclusion Is that brains have no place
In golf, especially In long driving, any.
