Grain Ration for Ewes
Prior to Lambing Time

If ewes are in good condition they
will do very well on clover hay with
a little shelled corn in fact, 1t may be
better not to feed grains until four
to six weeks before lambing. 1t is
desirable to bring the ewes to lambing
in medium flesh. If it is desired to
feed concentrates, which should be
done with such roughage as corn
stover, the following mixtures may be
used: Shelled corn, five parts, oats
three parts, wheat bran two parts, lin
seed meal one part, or corn two parts
and linseed meal one part. Give each
eve about half pound of the grain
mixture day with two pounds of
clover hay and as much of the corD
stover as desired.

SAYS NO BEST BREED

Which is the best breed is a ques-
tion often asked US. In answer we
have to say that there is no best
breed. You can find good and poor
layers, large and small birds compare
lively in every breed. 1t is the strain
more than the breed that is really the
more important thing to consider.
There are three recognized general
classes Of poultry, the small birds or
so-called egg producing class, the
medium-sized bird, or the so-called
dual purpose class, and the extremely
large or the meat class. There is no
great distinction between the egg
class or the dual so far as the egg
production is concerned, for many Of
the medium meat breeds are good egg
layers. And in the small sized birds
which are considered for egg laying
only, there are oftentimes found in
dividuals that will weigh from five
to five and one-half pounds, and
these would make a fairly good meat
bird
In regard to the breed you would
Ike to have, 1t is suggested that you
decide upon whether you want eggs
primarily, or whether you want gen
eral purpose breeds. When you have
made this decision, pick out the breed
which you like best, because this is
the breed with which you will get the
best results. Then after you have
picked the breed that you like best,
buy your stock or eggs from a breed
er whom you know has bred for the
thing that you desire. This may be
egg production, or it may be show
purposes, or it may be a combination.
You can find many breeders who have
bred for egg production, but their
stock may not be worth very much
Tor show purposes. You can find |
who have bred for show pur-
poses and their stock, in turn, may /
1ot be worth very much for egg pro-
1uction. You can find small per cent /
If breeders who have combined these |
.wo qualities and, of course, their /
stock would naturally be worth more |
because of This combination.
Just as a parting caution be sure
Tou know the breeder from whom you
ire buying your stock and be sure
hat he has the strain of birds which
ave the qualities which you desire

Mistake to Fatten Sow
After One Good Litter

The mistake of fattening a SOW and
killing her after she has had one good
litter of pigs is frequently made.
Some folks kill the SOW and breed one
Of her pigs. This is a mistake-be-
cause, if SOW has produced one good
litter, she Is likely to do better the
next time. She has matured and
knows how to care for her pigs. The
young hog may turn out TO be inferior
as brood sow, and even if she does
bring large litter. she is not able to
give all her strength to sucking the
pigs unless she has stopped growing
herself. 1t is almost a sure rule that
the more litters a sow has. the better
are the pigs and the better the SOW
will care for them.

Soy Beans for Wintering
Ewes Win Favor at Iowa

Soy bean hay was found equal TO
alfalfa for wintering breeding ewes,
according 10 results of tests Just re-
ported by ]. NJ. Evyard OF Iowa State
college. a combination Of the two
hays was found superior 10 either one
separately Since soy bean hay car
ries some concentrates IN the beans,
IL required less grain for the sheep
than did alfalfa hay. The ewes re
quired more salt when fed the soy
bean hay. IN these experiments 100
pounds OF soy bean hay replaced lOf
pounds Of alfalfa hay and 40 pounds
of shelied corn.

BRIDGE GRATING IS
PROPER FOR GIRDLES

Bridge grating Of severe bark
girdiing of fruit trees by rabbits is
about the best remedy. In case Of
very small bruises and cuts on the
bark in scattered spots, a preserving
or protective paint like white lead
or ochre or grating wax is good.
This serves only to keep the moisture
from entering and causing decay
where the heartwood Is exposed or
where the tissues of the inner LAYER
are open to dampness. Bridge graft
ing consists in using scions or small
limbs to connect the two portions Of
the bark of stock or trunk that has
been separated by injury. The
gnawed area is ''bridged," in other
words. Ii is more often used on ap-
pie trees than on pears, but plums
and cherries can well be handled
this way also. One should look care
fully at the base of the trees, be-
cause sometimes injury Is done be-
meath the surface of the ground,
especially by mice.
In preparing the wound to receive
the gratis, the injured parts should
be well cleaned and preferably
washed with some chemical antiseptic

"Hatch Early" and Get
More Eggs From Poultry

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Profits In poultry raising depend TO
a large extent on the earliness In the
season that chickens are hatched. Be
cause of this fact slogan of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
has been Hatch Early"
The earlier in life a pullet com
mences laying the greater the number
of eggs produced during the first lay
ing year, department poultry experts
say. Pullets should be in laying con-
dition the first part of October, if good
winter egg production is TO be expect
ed. The more eggs laid during Noyem-
Der, December and January. the
greater are the annual profits.
The department points out that in
order to commence laying in October,
pullets of the Plymouth Rock, Rhode
Island Red, Wyandotte and similar
breeds should be hatched the latter
part of March or the first part Of
April Pullets of the Leghorn, An
coma and similar breeds should be
hatched the latter part of April or the
first part of May.
Late-hatched chicks are rarely as
profitable as early-hatched ones. When
hatched late, they are not able to
make as good growth during the hot
summer months and do not mature in
time to start laying in the early fall.
There is little danger of farmers
Matching chicks toe early.

The hotel at Meadows Crossing was
-officially known as the Commercial

name was William Bugg, and the trav-
cling public who patronized the place
had fallen into the habit of calling it

Joe Wheeler, the piano tuner, had
been making a trip to Meadows

than three years. On his last trip, as
he was paying his bill at the Bugg

RANCHER VICTOR IN
FIGHT WITH "CAT"
Man Attacked by Leopard
sUes Life by Quick Wit.

Emething had frightened the cattle
n the kraal. Jan Pienaar, owner of
the ranch in Rhodesia, crept forth in
without warning sharp claws sank into
his Shoulders and he found himself
staring into the gaping mouth of a
leopard
The shock was so sudden and un-
nerving, says Mr.. J. Ii. Main in the
Wide World Magazine, that Pienaar
dropped his rifle. Then in an instant
he recovered his presence Of mind and
6ripped the animal by the throat with
both hands to keep it from biting his
face. There they stood locked in
death grip the leopard, upright on its
hind legs. rested all its weight upon
him and he with all his muscles braced
throat Although the leopards formid-
able claws were tearing his shoulders
ana arms cruelty. Pienaar dared not
shout or move. lest the animal should
tear Itself away, leap upon him again
and kill him.
How long Pienaar and the leopard
stood there he cannot say, but it
seemed an eternity The leopard stood
so close, glaring into his eyes, that he
could feel it's hot breath on his face.
When the rifle dropped from his
hands 1t had fallen against tree and
now was lying with the muzzle point
ing towards him about three feet from

question That the beast remained so
quiet was, he believed, owing to his
keeping quiet himself. SO ever so
gently he loosened the grasp of his
right hand on the brute's throat and
at the same time tightened the grip of
his left. He slowly crouched lower
and lower and then cautiously
stretched his right hand towards the
rife. 'AIl the time he stared steadily
into the leopard's blazing eyes.
Presently he found that he could
Just touch the weapon with his fingers.
With Infinite care he edged over until
he was able to grasp it firmly. Now
came the crucial moment. Should the |
rife as he pulled it toward him catch |
even momentarily in the underground. |
the noise would startle the fierce brute
into raging fury. He frightened his
grip on the beasts throat and began to
pull the rifle toward him. AS luck
would have it, the weapon came away
freely from the bushes, and inch by
inch he managed to draw 1t to him
until It's butt rested on the ground
against the inside of his right foot.
From there he slowly raised it with his
fingers until the muzzle pointed I
straight at the leopard's under jaw;
hen he lifted 1t little more and got
,is finger on the trigger. Quickly re-
easing his grip on the beasts throat,
le pulled the trigger and leaped back
wards
The animal, as he discovered later,
vas killed Instantly; the bullet broke
ts neck. But Pienaar will carry to
lis grave the scars of the wounds that
lis adversary made in that horrible
light encounter.

year old will do. See that the scions
for the bridge are longer than the
space to be filed. This is done so
that we can bend or arch the middle
part Of the scion when we put it in
place. Bevel the scions off at one
end, both smooth surfaces being on
the same side of the scion. Do this
beyeling with a long, sloping cut, and
then insert these thin edges of the
scions up under the bark at both
ends of the wound, but not hard
enough to tear away or injure the
cambium layer under the bark. One
good way to make this easier is to
carefully slit the bark on the mar
gin of the wound where the ends of
the scions are to enter Just how
many scions are needed to bridge the
gap depends on the circumference
of the tree The larger the number
the more complete will be the union.
but on the other hand If too many
scions are used, and they expand as
they grow, one will have a trunk
u
to have close contact between the
cambium layer under the bark of the
scions and the cambium layer under
the bark of the tree. True union will
only result If the cambium LAYERS
touch. Fasten the scions in place
with a very small nail lightly tackled
through their ends. Then cover the
whole part with grating wax, strips
of waxed cloth or such material to
keep out excess water ano prevent
the scions from warping out of place /
Melted wax as a covering is still bet I
ter. When the injured parts are be- /
low the surface of the ground, small I
of soil heaped up around the I
base of the tree will help some. The
best time to do bridge grating is
right before the growth starts.

''The Reckless Age
With Reginald Denny

Reginald Denny, who won screen
fame with his fists, is holding it by
his versatility. For it is a new Regi-
nald Denny whom one sees in "The
Reckless Age," his latest Universal
Jewel feature which will be shown at
the Century threatre, Baltimore, be-
ginning Monday, August a.
The new picture, a screen version
of Earl Derr Biggers' Saturday Even
ing Post story Glove Insurance." is a
rapid fire tale of an insurance man
standing guardian over an English
lord who has insured himself against
the failure to marry an heiress.
Every moment sees an uprorious
new situation; but there are many
thrills too, to enliven the comedy.
Denny stages a fight in newspaper
office that is a fistic classic; fully as
thrilling as any of his Leather
Pushers" bouts.
Harry Pollard, who directed Denny
in sporting YOUTH" made this high
ly pleasing production.
