Ducking Stool as
A Church Fixture

There are ducking stools at two
churches in England at least. One of
these is at Leominster, and the other
at Warwick. In olden times the duck
ing stool was n very popular institu.
ton with henpecked husbands. When
a wife developed such scolding
tongue that she became unbearable,
she was sentenced to the ducking
stool.
1t was sort Of e-saw on wheels.
The wife was tied on to one end Of
it, and it was then run down to the
village pond. The stool was alter
nately lifted and depressed, with the
consequence that the scolding wife
went under water each time the one
end was down,

TalkIess Phone for Mutes

One of the most recent devices for
use in communication between deaf
mutes is a "talkless phone" that
conveys messages by means Of an
alphabet printed on electric Light
bulbs. AS the operator presses the
keys of a special typewriter wired
electrically, the corresponding let
tiers are lighted spelling out the
message.
The invention is the work of WILL
liam E. Shaw of Cambridge, Mass,
who was stricken deaf and dumb by
sickness at an early age. He has
been working with electrical and
mechanical devices most of his life,
and claims that deaf mutes miles
apart will be able to talk" with his
device.-Popular Science Monthly.

Electric Lights Useful
in Production of EGGS

Electric lights have been success
fully used for years in hen houses to
prolong the hens working day and to
increase the egg yield. A further ap-
plication of electricity to the egg
industry has recently been developed
with extraordinary results, according
to reports of the British Illuminating
Engineering society.
Two groups of II pullets each, of
the same age and breeding, were seq
regated for 16 weeks. During this
time they were all fed on identical
rations. The first flock was kept un-
der ordinary conditions and produced
124 eggs during the test period. The
second flock was treated for 10 min
utes daily with ultraviolet rays and
produced 497 eggs.
At the end of the 16 weeks condi-
lions were reversed, whereupon the
output of the first group, which began
to receive the violet-ray treatment,
increased rapidly, and that of the
second flock, no longer receiving 1t,
decreased. At the end of the second
16-week period the egg production of
the two groups had been approx
mately reversed. The same results
were observed in similar tests at the
Wisconsin experiment station.
Experiments In Wisconsin also indi-
cate that the ultraviolet rays may
have profound effect In stimulating
the growth of young chicks.

How the Radio Helps
Weather Forecasting

The time may come when radio
broadcasting will excel all other meth
DDS in the dissemination of weather
information. The effectiveness of this
means of reaching the farmer prompt
Nv with forecasts and warnings does
not depend on having more broadcast
ing stations or In their power and
range. but on the installation of re-
ceiving sets by those who need this
information.
The most effective method of fur
nishing farmers with weather fore
casts and warnings at the present is
nv means of rural telephone systems
but, this bids fair TO be excelled in a
short time by radiophone broadcasfing.
Developments in the latter since JAN
nary. 1921, when the first regular ra-
dIophone broadcasts were begun from
the plant operated by the University
of wisconsin at Madison. have been
rapid. There are now about 120
broadcasting stations cooperating with

There were no such things allowed

Of the household by his own nominal

a quiet Sunday. We arose with the

our fresh clothes laid out carefully

Usually we drove the three and one

we walked, starting early so as not to

the construction of a small receiver
with this hookup The coils may be
mounted upright or fiat, above or be-
low the Dashboard or subpanel.
Wiring Done Underneath.
In the later types of receivers most
of the wiring is done underneath the

ficient room above.
1t is advisable to use the G 3O1-A
type of tubes throughout, with this re-
ceiver, with storage battery TO light
the filaments and about 90 volts of ''B"
battery. AS crystal detector is used,
there will be no need for grid leak

FARM /
POULTRY
LAYING HENS NEED
PROTEIN IN RATION

Many farm f1ocks get little or no
protein In the winter and as a result
are overfat and make a poor produc-
ton. Farm hens are often given
whole carcass to feed on one month
and no meat the next. AS result they
are thrown out of condition and often
are poisoned by spoiled meat. There
are three ways in which animal pro-
tein can be secured. A steady supply
Is essential. Rabbits or dead farm an
imals, when available, can be cooked
and ground or chopped up, dried and
put In box where hens can eat when
they want. Skim milk or buttermilk
can be put to no more profitable use
on the farm than In producing winter
eggs. Where a box of meat or sup
ply Of milk are available all Of the
time, 1t may not be necessary to put
meat scraps in the mash, but If there
is shortage of these 1t will pay to
buy meat scraps.
Table scraps should be fed as sup
plement to the ration at noon. Feed
grain morning and night In the litter.
In very cold weather the scraps may
be fed warm in the morning and grain
at ten o'clock.
1t Is advisable to use homegrown
grains as much as possible. On the dry
lands where the flbrous grains are
largely grown, such as oats, barley,
cane and millet, 1t Is advisable to buy
either wheat or corn. II corn, use 1t
whole instead Of cracked. The small
grains should be fed in the morning
and the corn at night,
Where there are quantities of grain
strewn about the farm yard 1t is good
practice to feed few table scraps In
the morning, keep the hens shut up
with the dry mash until noon, and let
them run TO the grain In the after
noon. Make sure there is fresh water
to the henhouse in the morning

Poultry Hints

: Sunlight is the cheapest disinfectant
that you can find. Have plenty of it
In the poultry house.
Select your best, healthiest cocks
and mate them with equally good
early Matched pullets and one-year-old
hens.
The Importance of vigor In the
poultry flock cannot be overstressed.
This problem of obtaining and main
tanning vigor is one of paramount i'm
portance, because we are expecting
more of the hen than of any other
fowl or animal on the farm.
Thin, scrawny turkeys are poor ad.
vertisement, and bring little profit. OF
course the turkeys will have grit and
charcoal as usual.
Hens with baggy abdomens may con.
tinue to lay heavily for a time, but
they cannot hope TO continue for any
great length of time.
Wedge-shaped hens with the heavy
end of the wedge at the front end
lack room to digest p,uch food and
therefore will not be profitable lay
ers
