FIowers on Lamp Posts

Appearance of streets in a Pennsyl
vania city has been improved by bas-
kets for flowers and vines attached to
the lamp posts, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The plants are support
ed high enough above the pavement to
be protected from vandals and do not
0bstruct the vision or interfere with
the lights. Hundreds of these "hang-
ing gardens" give some of the streets
the appearance of well-kept parks.

Gull Flock Rigidly at
Beginning of the Year

One of the largest costs Of running
a poultry farm is the death rate
among the laying hens. One author
ity figures this loss at l per cent a
month or u per cent year, calcu-
lated on the number of hens on hand
from given point to the correspond
ing period the following year. This
loss will not take care of an epidemic
if it hits the flock
1t can be readily seen that the wise
thing to do is to Gull out very rigidly
at the beginning of the laying year,
vigorous hens through the winter

Food Value of Molasses

Feeding molasses has a food value
of it's own, especially in cold weather,
when it's heat-producing carbohydrates
furnish energy in abundance. That is
one reason why stock that is fed mo-
lasses will usually be found in the
spring with slick, shiny coats 1t also
adds to the palatability Of feeds, es-
pecially roughage, and will encourage
the cows to eat more Of this.

Live Stock Items

The only stock that should be abun-
1antly watered is live stock.
1t does not pay to grind or soak corn
'or pigs or large hogs.
Keep the horses busy. Every day
they stand idle increases their UP
keep.

Feed Hens Literally

In laying pullet feed will pass
through the crop, stomach, gizzard
and five feet of intestines in less than
four hours. This fact shows the ne
cessity of feeding literally late in the
evening and early in the morning
throughout the winter to shorten the
night as much as possible and in
crease production.

Regularity in feeding and milking is
essential to profitable dairying.
Many an epidemic of diphtheria,
scarlet fever, and typhoid fever has
been traced to a case of illness on the
dairy farm.
The various dairy utensils used by
the dairyman are probably one of the
most important sources of the bac-
terial contamination of milk.

influenced the organization Of the Lewis

And, these were the two important histOT-
ical happenings which helped materially
to extend the sovereignty Of the United
States over the rich Oregon country.
Captain Cook sailed out from England
in 1776, his purpose being to seek the
northwest passage, the mythical waterway

land on the coast Of New Albion, the an
cient name for Oregon. 1t was in March,
I l1778, that he first observed the mountains
Of Oregon. Further north he sailed by the
strait of Juan de Fuca where he wrote In
his log his opinion that the story Of the
! strait was a myth. In NOOtWa sound he
q, took on many furs. Then, sailing on, he
sighted Mount Elias, and passed through
the strait separating Asia from America.
1 He was forced to turn back on account OF
heavy ice flOes, and his course took him to
? the Hawaiian islands, where a few months
, later, he met death at the hands Of the
