partment of Education Should be Es-
tablished with Secretary in the

Poultry Hints For November
BY X. s, Stout,
College OF Agriculture, University
of Arkansas.

Of Arkansas.
Now that the hens are to be kept
inside more than ever, special effort
should be put forth to keep the drop
ping boards clean.
This is the time Of year when the
poultryman should be sure that there
is no drought in the hen house.
Chicken pOx (sore head) and roup
are the two diseases that will bother
the poultryman for the next two or
three months.
If you notice small pimples appear
ing on the comb or wattles or around
the eyes send for circular on Poultry
Diseases, address Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, 80 Federal Bank and
Trust Building, Little Rock. Follow
instructions in this circular, and save
further trouble.
From time to time notice the weight
Of your laying pullets. As long as
they keep up their normal weight they
will continue to lay well. II the pull
lets begin to lose weight, egg produc-
tion may be retarded and the pullets
20 into early fall or early winter molt.
Feed rather heavy on grain during
the early part of the winter and you
possibly can avoid the molt that usu-
ally comes with the early hatched pull
lets.

PHENOMENON
OF SUN

MO feature of sunset or sun.
Az rise sky is more beautiful
than the fanlike rays sometimes
seen crossing the rosy glow above
the horizon where the sun has set
or has not yet risen.
Reddish beams alternate with
blue or gray; the latter being the
shadows cast by distant clouds, or
sometimes mountains, lying in the
direction OF the sun.
These beams which are known
as "crepuscular rays" appear to
converge toward the position Of
the sun below the horizon, writes
G. T. Talman in Nature Maya
zine Of Washington. They are
really parallel, the apparent con-
vergence being the effect Of per-
spective. This phenomenon gave
rise to the familiar Homeric ex-
preston, "rosy-fingered dawn"
On rare occasions crepuscular
rays can be seen extending en-"
tirely across the sky and con-
verging toward a point directly
opposite the sun. Similar beams,
devoid of color, are often seen
radiating from the sun when above
the horizon and partly obscured
by clouds. The bright beams are
made visible by the presence Of
dust or haze in the atmosphere,
while the intervening dark places
are cloud shadows.
When the beams extend down
ward, the appearance Is popularity
described as 1.-The sun drawing
water" though no such process
actually takes place.

TEN RULES FOR
SUCCESSFUL
MARRIAGE


IF your marriage doesn't seem
y to be quite All you expected
when you made that journey ~
the altar, read the following ten
commandments Of love. and see
which one you've been breaking.
They were gwen to me the
other day by y woman who was
celebrating her silver wedding an.
niversary She said that her own
marriage had been ideally happy
land she looked II.
Here Is her decaioguey
i. Love each other Without
love little clouds become prOspec-
tive thunderstornns and things
that love would laugh away be-
come the occasion Of tears and
perhaps eventual parting.
q. Bear and fOrbear. Each must
put up with the fads, pecullarities,
prejudices and moods of the other
and forbear getting even.
8. Trust each other. Unjust
suspicion may lead the victim to
try to deserve i'll
4. Pull together. This il ex-
peciaIIy important when there are
children looking, on and listening.
Opposition between husband wife
llinders happy home life.
S. Give and take. Even at, its
best, marriage is d compromise.
The essence Of love Is always Civ
ing. E41
s. Don't criticize. The more
wives love, the more they take to
heart critical remarks.
Z. Don't be superior. Clever
men sometimes marry their intel.
lectual interiors, but no woman
win long stand being reminded
that she ID less clever than her
husband.
5. Don't expect too much. The
man who thinks he has married
an angel and the woman who
thinks she has married demi-
god both are headed toward dis
illusionmept.
8. Have q sense or hum0Rs II
you can see the funny side Of
things and laugh together you
will avoid the divorce court.
10. Love yourself last. People
who are in love with 4henis lives
never are really in love with each
other.

USING SCRAP
CARS

TUNKED motor cars are being
q put to new use at Pierre,
S. D., that of helping to control
the Missouri River. The Big
Muddy has a habit of tearing away
large parts Of South Dakota farm
land abutting the stream during
the spring rises and carrying
them downstream, sometimes in
20-acre chunks.
The piling of logs, brush and
debris along the bank has not
availed to stop the rivers depreda-
tions, but it has been discovered
that the frames Of junked cars,
piled one upon another wherever
the water is cutting away the
bank, settle so firmly and are so
resistant to the channel stream
that they stop the destruction.
Several score Of abandoned auto
mobiles are. serving more effect
lively than expensive piling.
