Barium Carbonate Most
Effective for Rodents

The cheapest, most effective poisons
for rats and mice Is barium carbonate,
chemical compound which has
neither taste nor smell. Hamburger,
canned salmon, bread and butter,
fresh eggs and apples make good bait.
Mix one part of the barium carbonate
to four. parts by weight Of food, rec
ommends the rodent control specialist
at Kansas State Agricultural college.
Put out fresh bats in the evening
and take up the uneaten ones in the
morning." says the rodent extermina-
tor. "Give variety Of bats and put
out enough each time so all the ami
mails will be supplied. When batting
with eggs, break the eggs into a bowl,
put in rounded teaspoonful of
barium carbonate for each egg and
mix thoroughly. Then serve 1t in the
half shells.
"The necessity Of cooperation and
organization In the work of rat de-
struction Is of the utmost Importance.
To destroy all the animals on single
farm in a community has little perma-
nent value, since they are soon re-
placed from nearby farms. If, how
ever, the farmers Of an entire town
ship or county unite In effort to get
rid Of rats, lasting results may be OBJ
tanned"

Interest ReuiUed in
Ancient Saxon Church

Chickney was a thriving place In
the old days; but Is has gradually de-
cayed till it can scarcely claim q
place on the map. Yet the bishop Of
Colchester came to reopen its church,
which had been closed for many years
and Is fast falling into ruin.
Now, though Chickney is so small
and Insignificant, its crumbling church
Is one Of the most notable In Essex,
for it was built under King Alfred
and has been standing over q thou
sand years. 1t Is rare example Of
unrestored Saxon architecture, and
the idea of the bishop holding a serv-
Ice there was to revive interest in the
old building and take steps to pre-
serve 1t. - .-.
Generations of Chickney men have
worshiped there, as the bishop point
ed out. It is curious to note that such
names as Fitch. Chopping, Coe and
Baines occur for centuries In the par
ish registers and are still found
among the people of the four cot
tages.-Montreal Family Herald.

Growing Grain With
Pedigreed Ancestry
Plants Respond to Laws of
Heredity and Selection.

Grow blooded grain, says the de-
partment Of plant breeding at the New
York Agricultural college at Ithaca.
Live stock growers have long realized
the advantages and the necessity Of
breeding, but comparatively few farm
ers have put into practice the knowl-
edge that plants respond to the same
laws Of heredity and selection. natural
and artificial, that make the difference
between q scrub bull and q blue rib
bon winner.
BY selection, wheat can be made to
grow tall and spindlIng or short and
rank, but neither of these extremes are
wanted, and the plant breeders at the
state college realize that. So they
have done some investigating. and
have picked out what they think are
the best.
Among red wheats, they say, For.

The former is a selection from Daw.

Fruit Maturity

Improved Type of Mechani.
cal Pressure Device Just
Been Invented.

prepared ~ the United States Department
Of Agricuiture.)
The maturity Of fruit at picking
time largely determines Its dessert
quality as well as Its storage or trans
portation possibilities. Allowing the
fruit to become too mature on the
tree results In product which win
not carry to the market whereas
picking the fruit in a too immature
condition results In an almost inedible
product.
Pressure With Thumb.
Pressure Of the fruit with the
thumb to determine the maturity has
probably been practiced as long as
fruits have been eaten by man, says
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture, but this method Is too indef-
mite for modern demands Of fruit deal
ers and handlers. This need for def
mite picking standards for certain
fruits which will allow them to be
left on the tree as long as possible
and at the same time assure their
carrying through to market In salts
factory condition, has led the United
States Department Of Agriculture to
devise an improved type Of mechan-
ical pressure tester, description Of
which is given in Department Circular
$50 just issued by the department.
The pressure tester is somewhat on
the order Of an automobile tire pres
sure gauge, Is Of convenient portable
size, and easy to use. A protruding
plunger Of the tester, placed against
the flesh Of an apple or other fruit,
penetrates the flesh, recording the
maximum pressure required to pene-
trate the fruit to given distance,
thus giving an Indication Of its ma
turity. BY means Of the tester and
storage experiments definite picking
standards are being worked out for
the various fruits. The rate Of soft
ening Of fruit in storage and the firm
ness of fruit In different stages Of
storage maturity are also being stud
led.
Test Storage Fruit.
When these schedules have been
completed, the fruit grower will know
at what pressure he should pick his
fruit to enable 1t to stand the storage
and transportation conditions expect
ed Of 1t. The fruit dealer will be able
to test his fruit in storage and de-
termine the remaining length Of time
he can expect 1t to keep in firm con-
dition.

Oyster shell is good, but 1t won't
take the place of grit for hens.
Plenty Of good, clean nests will dis
courage the habit Of "foor-laying."
Clean nests mean fewer Gull eggs.
Are you allowing your children to
drink unpasteurized or unsterilized
milk from an INFESTED COW or herd?
Prairie hay and excelsior make the
best nest material obtainable. Hens
cannot scratch 1t out Of the nests like
straw or shavings.
Wheat straw makes the best litter
for the scratching room. After two
weeks in the henhouse It makes ex-
cellent bedding for the stock In the
barn and the fresh straw Is better for
the health of the flock.

Selecting and Selling
Fowls From Farm Flock

Before fowl is sold, lot Of the
best pullets should be picked out,
which, with the pullets kept the pre-
vious winter. will make up the regu-
lar flock. The two-year-old hens
should be sold in the spring, as soon
as eggs become cheap; they sell bet
ter at that time than at any other. A
hen has seen her best laying days
when she has completed her second
year. IF eggs are the chief object In
view, the cockerels and surplus pull
let's should be sold as early as pos
sible. The pullets kept for winter
layers should be well fed and brought
to maturity as rapidly as possible,
and IL they are cared for will lay
steadily all winter.

Suddenly he was aroused by a rustic

Even the strips Of carpet which run
along the floor Of the imperial house
of commons in England have history
and a reason, remarks the Dearborn
Independent. These strips are located
near the front benches and were placed
there originally to prevent the danger
of members fighting with each other.
The carpets were introduced in the
days when members wore their swords,
and rule was made that no member
was to stray beyond the edge of the
carpet on his side Of the house when
speaking.

 Jay Hunt, in the role of "Lightnin' is double" for Bacon in appearance and dramatic workmanship. The lov- able tipler, who handles the truth rather carelessly, lives again and you will love him. Hunt is surrounded by a splendid cast and with masterly direction, this great stage play has been given a screen presentation that leaves nothing to be desired.
 TtheN cast of 'Lightnin' in addition to Hunt, are Madge Bellamy, J. Far rell Macdonald, Ethel Clayton, Otis Harlen, Wallace Macdonald, Richard Travers, Edythe Chapman and Bran don Hurst. It was directed by John Ford.
