A party Of ten anglers visited
Shady Side Wednesday evening
with the idea Of spending the
night fishing and returning. to
town Thursday morning, but their
plans were shot to pieces when q
northeastern put in Its appear
ance. It was about o'clock in
the morning when the big blow
started that caught the fishermen
midway of the Chesapeake, for
they were bound for Bloody Point
Light ON the opposite shore.
The motor boat, under the guild
ance of Captain Lee, of Shady Side.
was tossed about on the high
Founders until things began to take
on a serious aspect. The anglers
were drenched to the skin, for the
water was splashing all over the
boat, reminding one of a heavy
rainstorm that had cut loose in
all it's fury.
Fishing was far removed from
their minds, their only thoughts be-
ing of land. The officer in COM
mand, by the aid of a strong light
from a tanker passing close at
hand, turned the small craft shore
ward. After a furious battle with
the raging water, that seemed a
lifetime to the party, the boat nosed
herself safely into port.
It was fully 9 o'clock Thursday
morning before the earth's bellows
stopped snorting. The crowd, fully
recovered and dry, started out once
again to try their luck with the
gamey tribes that were reported the
day before running wild.
Many fish were bOated during
the davis fishing, but It was only
the big fellows that were allowed
on the several stringers, the small
err brethren being given their free
dom as soon as they were re-
leased from the hooks.
OF the fish retained, ten were
trout 100 were hardheads and the
remainder were sixty.five Norfolk
spots.
Mr., A. Fine was the lucky angler
of the day, carrying off the pool
with a trout weighing three and
| three-quarter pounds.

marty was DR.. H. e. Wood, Sergeant

about bass fishing in the Tidal

Flushing of Ewes Means
More Twins for Breeder

When the sheep breeder speaks of
flushing the ewes. he refers to feed
ing them extra well for two weeks be-
fore the breeding season is to begin.
This good feeding is kept up until all
the ewes are bred. For years sheep
men have been divided on this ques-
tlon. some claiming that flushing in
creases the number of twins dropped,
while others claim that flushing has
no other effect than to rid the owner
of n little surplus feed.
But six weeks OF experimental work
by the United States Department of
Agriculture have removed this Ques-
ton from the 'thlnk' clnss, for the re-
suits actually show that flushing does
mean more twins dropped. Every 100
flushed ewes produced l4S lambs
while each 100 ewes that "roughed It
as usual produced only 12S lambs. In
other words, with every 100 ewes, the
owner had 20 additional lambs to
show for the extra feed given the
owes.
The best results were secured when
he ewes gained about seven pounds
each during the flushing period. Fresh
grass pastures, soy beans and cowpeas
were found to be excellent lushers.

s TOOK
Accounting Records and
Business System Needed

tPreoared by the United States Department
of hsriculture.>
The need for simple yet complete ac-
counting records by live stock shipping
associations is emphasized in n new
bulletin published by the United States
Department of Agriculture entitled
Accounting Records and Business
Methods for Live Stock Shipping As
sociations." The bulletin recommends
use of n system outlined that is based
on the methods used by shipping as
sociations in various parts of the u
try and which experience has demon
strated as sound and practical, and
capable of being adapted to n wide
range of conditions md methods of
operation.
The system Is specifically designed
to meet the needs of associations that
make the shipping of live toe their
main or only business, including nsse-
cations which in addition to shipping
live stock occasionally buy feed and
other farm supplies unloaded directly
from cars and paid for on delivery.
The method can also be adapted for
use by farmers elevators or produce
and supply associations which have n
warehouse and carry n stock of sup
plies and which also ship live stock, 1t
Is pointed out.
The rapid growth In live stock ship
ping associations during the last five
years has developed many problems
that nave resulted in wide differences
in cost of shipping as between the
most efficient and the least efficient as
sociations, the bulletin says. Adoption
Of the accounting system proposed Is
designed to solve these problems.

quest to the United States Department

was prepared in collaboration with the

Fairly Good Silage Can

Artificial Lighting of
HenhouSe Is Permanent

The artificial lighting OF henhouses
has become permanent and popular
to the first opinions of some people.
electric lights are not installed for the
purpose Of fooling the hens. The use
OF lights merely endeavors to aid in
duplicating spring conditions whereby
hens have mor opportunity to con
sumo a large amount of feed and thus

Pigs Digestive Organs
and Ability to Expand

Careful observations made on the
pigs used in the 1922 TYPE Test" mt
the Illinois experiment station. indi-
tween the size of a pigs digestive or
gans and his ability to grow. Prof. r.
]. Liable Of the Illinois animal hus-
bandry department, who measured the
capacity and length of the stomach.
large and small intestines, of IL pigs
from each Of the three types in the ex-
pertinent station, found a wide varia-
tion in the size of these organs.
The stomachs of the pigs varied in
capacity from one pint to three quarts.
The small intestines ranged in capac-
ity from six to fourteen quarts, and the
large intestines from four to twelve
quarts. The total capacity of the di-
gestive systems varied from ten to
twenty-siN quarts.
In length, the small intestines ranged
from 51.5 to 80 feet, while the large
intestines were from 1875 to 1913 feet
long.
After comparing these measure
ments with the records of feed con
sumption and gains made by the indi-
ridual pigs, Professor Liable found
that there was no difference in the
Intestinal capacities of the pigs OF the
