Oyster Shell for Hens
of Great Importance

Profitable poultry raising depends
on the elimination of weak, unhealthy
chickens, subnormal egg production
and s~oft-shelled eggs. OF course, there
are many poultry feeds which will
help to keep fowls healthy but there
is one mineral food which combined
with a balanced ration and plenty of
sunlight will do away with all three of
the evils just mentioned. This is
crushed oyster she'll.
The best form of crushed oyster
shell contains 90 per cent calcium car
Donate and therein lies its value to
poultry. The formation of the egg re-
quires three distinct steps. The yOlk
is made first. This passes to the next
stage where it is coated with the white
or albumen. The final step of the proc
ess is the formation of the shell. Egg
shell consists mainly of calcium car
Donate. 1t is therefore evident that
if the hen has not a sufficient supply
of this mineral in her system, fewer
eggs will be produced and those that
are produced may have soft shells. In
other words the calcium carbonate in
the crushed oyster shell supplies the
egg shell material.

Views Future of World
With Pessimistic Eye

DR.. Frederick Graves in an article
entitled 1000 A. d." in Chambers
Journal, discounts the anticipation of
those who expect the evolution of a
race of supermen living roseate and
perfect lives. Remarking on THE
strain of modern life. he says that it
has been predicted by medical men
that the wear and tear of existence
will make the world little better than
an asylum of nervous wrecks in a hum
dred years more. There is the nor
serious threat of a state of strife in
which not only cities but perhaps ma
lions will be passed out of existence
by laboratories.
Mere armies and navies will be OBJ
liberated before they have a chance Of
deploying into action, according to
Doctor Graves. 1t might well happen
that such another calamity would par
alyze or even destroy humanity and
civilization together.

Aid Strawberry
With Wild Ones
Four Promising Varieties
Are Found Suitable for
Home Preserving.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
All the Strawberries in the United
States and most of those of the world
that is, the tame Ones-are descend
ants of two wild American strawber-
ries, n a native of the Pacific coast
and the other a native of the eastern
United States.
There are many other wild straw
berries. however, that did not take
part in developing u present kinds.
In the untried wild Ones may Turk
some valuable trait that can be bred
into our domestic varieties which may
make them ever more desirable than
they now are. At any rate, plant
breeders are turning to the wild sorts
for improving the strawberry. espe-
cially to develop new types better
adapted to such specific purposes as
canning, preserving, and candy max
ing.
Four Promising Varieties.
George NJ. barrow, who is in charge
of strawberry-breeding work for the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, has already achieved ONE sue
cess in this field. From the thousands
of crosses made he has selected four
promising varieties especially suited
for preserving. They are known only
by number as yet, and will need to be
tested for adaptation before they can
be recommended for planting. The
breeding of preserving sorts is only
begun, he says, and every region will
need its own particular variety.
Technique of Breeding.
The technique Of breeding is rela-
lively simple, Mr.. barrow explains,
but the important and difficult part is
in making the selections. To breed
a new kind, no matter for what pur-
pose, two parent varieties are crossed.
They may be wild or tame. The pol
len from the flower of one is placed
on the pistil of the flower of the 9TH
er. The seed developing from such a
cross is planted and every resultant
Seeding grown to fruiting age before
selections are made. If there are
three acres Of seedlings in fruiting
there may be 5000 kinds, each differ
ent from the others. From this n
nous number certain promising ones
are saved and each is propagated in u
separate short row. When they bear,
if there is sufficient fruit, canning and
preserving tests are made Of the more
promising ones by Gamers and pre-
servers with whom Mr.. barrow has
made cooperative arrangements

Rare Finny Specimens

The Danish scientific ship Dana
has found two unusual specimens of
deep sea fish in Australian waters.
One is the female deep sea angler.
Her mouth is of extraordinary size
and she carries the male angler. a
tiny fish in comparison to her own
bulk, attached to her body. The
other is a lantern fish. a habitat of
deeps where it is believed no daylight
penetrates. The fish has its own
phosphorescent lights, strung along it's
sides like a row of portfolios on a
steamer.

Agricultural Notes

oooooooooooooo
Infertile eggs keep longest.
Seed clover instead of alfalfa If the
subsoil is extremely acid.
Feed poultry yellow corn, cod-liyer
oil. milk, and leafy feeds for vita
mines.
Keep your lawn open for the best
effect. Flower beds set in the lawn
make the grounds seem smaller.
A gasoline engine will relieve the
dairyman of many tasks each day at
a cost of less than five cents per hour.
At least n colony of bees should
be provided for each here of your ap-
pie orchard to take care of cross-pol-
lination.
Retailers make best profits when
prices of produce are low. The farm
err gets more of the consumers money
when products are scarce and high
priced.
Don't forget that a dairy COW re-
quires an ounce or more of salt a day.
This is one of the big little things In
successful dairying.

In Dry Indiana

Members Of the Legislature who profess to believe
that the passage of the Wright law made this state
really dry should be than interested in the con-
ditions in Steuben county,
1t is quite possible that congress may at SOME
time also show curiosity to what happens in so
dry state as Indiana when the Volstead law Of the
nation and a Wright state law act together.
What happened is not yet fully developed, but
there are enough facts at hand to indicate that it
requires more than the writing of statute to secure
results.
The county seems to have happy geographical
location as far as the levying of tribute upon boot
leggers from the neighboring state of Michigan,
which again borders upon Canada, is concerned.
The investigation thus far made discoses that the
price paid for merely permitting truck load of booze
to pass through that county $780, and that on
some days there were ten of these boozeaden trucks
which paid this tribute to "enforcers" of the law
1t requires very little imagination to follow these
trucks. They went, of course, to the cities of 1T.
Wayne and Indianapolis Marion Anderson and Rich
mond. Farmers with hard elders in their cellars
would hardly take any interest in purchasing booze
which so heavy tax had been levied.
1t is easy also to understand that even the most
arent dr. Of Steuben county raised no voice of pro-
test 1sdinst what had developed into thriving local
nc oCry. AS long as the trucks did not stop, 1t is
quite conceivable that they took some pride in the
growing wealth of local citizens and especially
pleased at heavy campaign funds at election time.
OF course, it became embarrassing when those
elected to enforce laws found the bodies of dead
bootIeggers in profuson and stolen in official
garages.
Under any system of law, the enforcement must
be left largely to county authorities. There will be
little left of liberty if we abandon the system of
years which provides that must be tried in the
communities in which the crime is charged to have
been committed.
But it is also certain that dry laws will never be
enforced when it is profitable to pay $3.50 for the
privilege of driving one truck through one county
There is one other question which naturally arises
and demands an answer.
What have the federal authorities in the northern
part of the state been doing while this tribute has
been levied on bootleggers?
Both of our senators, who name these officials
speak often and loud in behalf of VoIseadiSm, They
should be interested in discovering what has hap
pened. Why does it take earthquake and news
paper exposure to get action of any knd2 If the
federal authorities have been so dumb as to let the
officials in backwoods county collect all of such graft
ought not there to be shakeup that will at least
provide some one smart enough to share, if not to
check such gratis?

Inching Toward Peace

Prevention of one war and the signing of treaties
Of arbitration and Cancellation is the record of the
Pan-American conference in Washington.
Secretary OF State Kellogg closed the conference
Saturday with the prophecy that it will go down in
history having accomplished the greatest step for
ward in Cancellation and arbitration" According to
Charles Evens Hughes, delegate, it marks the most
notable advance relation to pacific settlement in
this hemisphere"
While rejoicing that some progress has been made
can not share the sweeping enthusiasm of Kellogg
and Hughes
The arbitration treaty is nulifed largely by Latin
American reservations excluding questions arising out
of past disputes, which mean practically all LATIN
American questions that may endanger the future
peace.
Other reservations exclude disputes over pecuniary
claims which practically all property right dis
putes between the United States and Latin-Amercan
countries. That does not leave much to arbitrate,
especially the treaty itself excludes so-caed do
nestle questions and those affecting third party.
Argentina, one OF the largest countries of the
hemisphere and with which the United States has
many disputes did not participate. Thirteen of the
others insisted on reservations, to the arbitration
treaty.
1t is significant that the only countries accepting
without qualucatonS THIS MADE states
treaty were those occupied by United States soldiers
or those whose navies are trained by United States
naval officers These are: Brazil, Cube, Haiti, Mica
ragua Panama and Peru
In FORM however, this treaty is an improvement on
certain previous arbitration pacts of the United
States Those made every individual arbitral SUBJ
iect to senate consent and contained multiplying reser
yations regarding questions of national honor" and
vital interests" The conference was worth while
it did nothing more than bury those two dangerous
indefinite phrases.
This arbitration pact is also saved in part by the
ACCOMPANYING protocol, under which governments IN
the future may eliminate their present reservations
OF more Importance is the Cancellation treaty, to
which only Chile attached reservations Although de-
cisons on e.tral commissions acting under this con-
vention are not hindiEs upon dispuants it does pro-
vide the necessary "coolingof period" which is per-
haps the best of all known methods OF preventing
war This treaty goes farther than the similar Pan
American pact Of 1923.
Perhaps the major permanent achievement of the
conference was the provision in the Cancellation
treaty permitting Cancellation commissions to inter-
vene in disputes without waiting until called upon by
the disputants.
That provision is in line with the plendid success
Of the conference in pressing Paraguay and Bolivia to
cease their border fighting last month, pending IN
vestiuation by a American commission.
This conference has carried US one short step nearer
the goal of a Pan-America organized for peace But
it has not made war on this hemisphere impossible or
svsn improbable.
