spouted so high they had to put a roof on it
because st. Peter and all the angels were raisin'
all HI about the oil that shOOtin' through
the floor of heaven. 1t took ten days for the
oil to reach the, top and then it raned down
for three weeks"
But super-man that he was, not all of Nor
gan's wells brought in oil. Occasionally he got
"duster," a dry hole. But did he abandon it
as did other drillers? Not Kemp Morgan! He
knew that Kansas farmer could ever dig a
post hole in his hard bottom soil. He would
get his hands around his duster hole and pull
it up, four feet at a time saw it off and ship
it to Kansas Ask any Kansas farmer what he
thinks of the Kemp Morgan Portable Post
Holes"
But Kemp Morgan wasn't the only Lone Star
product of note. There was Pecos Bill who
was lost by his parents when he was year old
and grew up among the catamOuntS and coyotes.
One day he wandered into the Golden Swan Sa-
loon, and there met a cowboy who told him of
the joys of cow-punching. SO Bill decided to
quit being coyote, put on human clothes tit

out with three four blankets and pieces of
cowhde to cover him) and became a cowboy.

he could outride any other cowboy and he could
out-drink any other cowboy.
Once Bill rode a Kansas cyclone He rode it
through three states until they got to California
and when the cyclone saw it couldn't throw him
it rained out from under him and that was what
washed out the Grand canyon. Bill came down
with a mighty thud in California and the spot
where he landed is known as Death valley
a big hole in the ground, 800 feet below sea level
Another mighty Texan was Strap Buckner who
went to that state with the first party of settlers
! led by Stephen F. Austin. Strap had the pleas
ant custom of knocking men down with blow
between the eyes which he would "do in the most
| friendly and courteous manner and with no in
tention of harming them" He knocked down his
| friends and his enemies, he knocked down In
dians and grizzly bears and wildcats and buffalo
But the greatest fight in which he ever engaged
was his battle with the Devil and in that fight
for once in his life he defeated. Since STRAP

Turkey Producers Are
to Sell on Roadsides

Turkey producers are able to
reach consumers through roadside
markets, retail routes or by mail
in efforts to sell direct.
Limits of demand are usually the
only factors that hinder the unlim-
tied development of such market
ing plans. Quality is, naturally,
the first consideration in such a
marketing plan. 1t usually takes
years to build up a successful mar
keting plan direct to the consumer.
Steady sales cannot be expected.
Seasonal conditions, volume of
production, prices and weather will
be factors that will control the
sales volume
A survey conducted by the Massa-
chusetts department of agriculture
indicates that women are adapted
to the details and work connected
directly with selling and figure
largely in this field Of marketing.

POULTRY
FATS
SEPARATE SEXES
IN CHICK FLOCK
Pullets and Cockerels Do
Better Apart.

Separate the pulIetS and cocker
els as soon as the sexes can be
told apart, says the poultry depart
ment of the New York State Col
lege of Agriculture. Male chicks
are likely to be larger, stronger,
and more vigorous than the females
so the pullets have less opportunity
to grow when broOded with them.
Chicks of the Mediterranean
breeds, such as Leghorns, can be
separated easier and earlier than
others, but the separation should
also be made with all breeds to
insure a more rapid and uniform
growth of both pullet and cOckerel
tlOckS. 1t reduces the size of the
f1ocks and gives more feeding and
drinking space for the birds left.
Keep the cOckerelS which de-
velop fastest as breeding males,
and start with three or four times
as many of these at brOiler size as
will be needed for breeding. Send
the broilers to market as soon as
they are salable for prices go down
rapidly as the season advances.
Since chicks make the most rapid
growth during the first few weeks
of their lives, it costs more and
takes longer to put on weight after
they have reached a pound in
weight. According to the college
of agriculture chicks increase their
weight "a per cent the first week.
65 per cent the second, 55 per cent
the third, Al per cent the fourth,
80 per cent the fifth, % per cent
the sixth. 20 per cent the seventh,
and 16 per cent the eighth.

POULTRY HINTS

There is no known way to con-
troll the blood spots in eggs.
A few years ago very little was
known about the mineral require
ments of poultry.
Early molting hens are usually
poorer producers and late mOlters
are the better producers.
Culling not only improves the
breeding quality of the flock. but
if done early enough will save feed
the costs.
During a period of low prices is
the logical time for a systematic
and thorough culling Of the farm
poultry flock.
The best method of marking the
hens is by use Of leg bands. Sealed
bands that can be used only once
are the kind to use.
For one who wishes to raise and
feed ducks for market purposes, the
possibilities in late hatched duck
lings should not be overlooked.
Il
Probably the easiest way to check
up on the weight of the pullets is
to color band a few birds in each
pen and weigh these occasionally.
Ducks and geese are usually
picked much the same as chickens.
II takes some experience to dry
pick them in a reasonable length
of time.
Hens usually acquire the habit of
eating eggs because Of nests that
lack straw. The egg is cracked
when it is laid, and thus the hen
acquires the taste for them.

Breeding Pullets for
High Egg Production

Breeding for high production has
made the matter Of holding pull
lets out of production more diff
cult. 1t is difficult to hold pullets
out of production until they have
attained good body weight, size,
and scale. 1t is very easy to have
Leghorn and pullets of some Of the
more common heavy breeds laying
at four to four and one-half months
Of age, but these pullets are GER
tain to lay extremely small eggs
and are very likely to mOlt. A
pullet that does not come in pro-
duction until she is six months old
is in much better condition for the
duties ahead of her.

Out With the Rooster

Quality egg production is neces-
sary part of the egg consumption
program if the present emphasis be-
ing put upon the value of eggs is
to have any lasting effect upon the
industry. One of the very simple
things that a poultryman can do
is to insure the production of only
infertile eggs The Matching sea-
son is over and there is no good
reason for having the rooster run

well-digger and calls himself Kemp Morgan.
On the railroads he becomes mighty engineer
and has won fame as Casey Jones. On the old

man but his alias is "Old Stormalong"
Old StOrmalong's full name was Alfred Bull

on the ships log for his first skipper that
worthy looked him over and said, "A. b. S. Able
Boded-SailOr. By your size and strength they
should measure the talents of all other sea
men," AS for his size the sailors disagree
Some say that he was fourteen fathOms tall and
others that he was "jes' four fathoms from
the deck to the bridge Of his nose" And he
was fearless, too. One day his fellow sailors
couldn't pull up the anchor. An octopus was
wrapped around it and was holding it fast to
the bottom of the ocean Over the side went
old StOrmalong. There was a terrific struggle
under the water and then he emerged trium-
