Light Yolks Preferred

Poultry producers find that many
buyers in the large cities. especial
ly the New York market. prefer
eggs with light-colOred yoIks, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture says.
Certain materials such as green
feed and yellow corn produce dark
yolks, but when eggs are candled
it is often difficult to tell whether
the dark yolk has been caused by
feed or because the egg has been
exposed to heat. Thus. although
buyers prefer light yolks. in order
to be on the safe side. dark yolks
do not necessarily mean that the
eggs are inferior in quality. Feeds
such as white corn. wheat. buck
wheat, and oats result in eggs hav-
ing light yOlks.
To be classed as a quality prod
uct, eggs must be uniform in color
and size, and light yolks make
them more desirable in many mar
ketS.

Yancey Cravat, just returned
from the newly opened Indian ter
ritory where he participated in
the Run over the border, relates
his adventures to a gathering OF
the Venable family. Yancey is a
criminal lawyer, editor of the
Wichita Wigwam. and husband of
Sabra Cravat. When the Run
started, Yancey raced his pony
against the thoroughbred mount
of a girl. The thoroughbred broke
two legs and when Yancey stopped
to shoot it, the girl grabbed his
pony and beat him to the land he
wanted. Yancey, with his wife and
four-year- son, Cimarron, start
for the Oklahoma country They
arrive to start a newspaper. He
declares he intends to find the
murderer OF Pegler. editor of the
New Day. Yancey shows he can
handle a gun. Preparations for
the publication of the Wigwam
are completed. Yancey accepts an
invitation to conduct church serv-
ices on Sunday. Graf Gotch lends
his gambling tent for the serv-
ices. The place is packed. Before
he starts his sermon. Yancey an

CHAPTER VII

ID EFORE the Katy pulled in at
ID the Usage station (the railroad
actually had been extended, true 10
Dixie Lees prediction, from Wahoo
TO Usage and beyond) Sabra's eyes
were searching the glaring wooden
platform. Yancey was not there.
The stark red-painted wooden sta
ton sat blistering in the sun. Yam
cey simply was not there. Not
only that, the station platform usu-
ally graced by a score of vacuous
faces and limp figures gathered to
witness the exciting event of the
Katy's daily arrival and departure,
was bare.
Sabra felt sick and weak. Some
thing was wrong. She left her
boxes and bags and parcels on the
platform. Half an hour before
their arrival in Usage she had en-
trusted the children to the care of
a fellow passenger while she had
gone to the washrOOm to put on
one of the new dresses made in
Wichita and bearing the style
cachet of Kansas City. She had
anticipated the look in Yancey's
gray eyes at sight of it. She had
made the children spotleSS and
threatened them with dire things if
they sullied their splendor before
their father should see them.
And now he was not there.
With Donna in her arms and Gin
at her heels she peered in at the
station window. Pat Leary was
bent over his telegraph key. A
smart tight little Irishman who had
come to the territory with the rail
road section crew when the Katy
was being built. Station agent
now, and studying law at night.
"Mr. Leary! Mr.. Leary! Have
you seen Yancey?" He looked up
at her absently, his hand still on
the key, then wiped his wet fore
head with his forearm protected
by the black sateen sleevelet.
"Ain't you heard?"
NO" whispered Sabra, with stiff
lips that seemed no part of her.

Sanitation PAYS

Illinois poultry men who used
sanitation and otherwise practiced
good management got a return of
81 cents an hour more for their la
Dor last year than flock owners
who did not use sanitation. accord
ing to a summary of their records
by Fl. H. Alp, poultry extension
specialist of the University of nli-
nois. He cites this as further evil
dence that the difference between
success and failure in poultry rails
ing is largely one of good manage
ment, since sanitation is always
part of good management. Flocks
handled under the recommended
sanitation system paid their owners
a return of 76 cents an hour for
labor. while nonsanitatiOn farms
paid only 45 cents an hour.-Indi-

SOME GOOD POINTS
IN POULTRY HOUSE
Ventilation One of Biggest
Problems.

Better insulation has brought the
greatest improvement of all to the
poultry house, says Successful
Farming. Insulation reduces the
harmful effects of the extremes of
cold and heat and makes the house
more comfortable at all tempera-
tures. The "straw loft" house be-
came popular because it provided
cheap and efficient roof insula-
ton, a point largely neglected in
the earlier houses.
was never very successful because
1t lacked insulation in the roof and
was consequently a cold, damp
house in winter and a hot one in
the summer. Many of these moni-
tor houses have been greatly i'm
proved by the addition of straw
ceiling. A similar insulating effect
can be secured by some of the in
sulating boards now on the market.
Ventilation is another important
problem in poultry house construc-
ton because of its effect on damp
ness and the inside temperature.
The only way to remove the excess
moisture in the house is by ven
tilatiOn or change of air. Air move
ment should be very slow, so that
no draft of cold air is noticeable.
In the average run of poultry
houses the hens probably suffer
more in severe cold weather due
to too much ventilation rather than
too little.
Both the Nebraska and Iowa ex-
pertinent stations have found that
hens show no harmful effect from
tightly closed quarters during the
winter. While neither of these sta
tiOns recommend a tightly closed
poultry house. their findings indi-
cate the importance of air purity
may have been overemphasiZed in
the past

Sol Levy had come over an i'm

found his way to this vast wilder
ness. Perhaps in Chicago, or in
Kansas City, or Omaha he had
heard of this new country and the
rush of thousands for its land.
And he had bummed his way on
foot. He had started to peddle with

In a year or two be opened a lit
tie store in Usage. 1t was, at first,
only a wooden shack containing
two or three rough pine tables on
which his wares were spread. He
was the town Jew. He was per
son apart. Sometimes the cow
boys deviled him; or the saloon
loungers and professional bad men.
They looked upon him as fair
game. He thought of them as saw
ages.
In the three and a half years of
her residence in Usage Sabra had
yielded hardly an inch. 1t was
amazing. 1t was heroic. She had
set herself certain standards. and
those she had maintained in spite
of almost overwhelming oppOSi-
ton. She had been bred on tradi-
ton. If she had yielded at all it
was in minor matters and because
to do so was eXpedient.
Once only in those three years
had she gone back to Wichita. At
the prospect of the journey she had
been in a fever of anticipation for
days. She had taken with her Gin
and Donna. She was so proud of
them, so intent on outtitting them
with a wardrobe sufficiently Splen-
did to set off their charms that she
neglected the matter of her own
costuming and found herself arriv-
ing in Wichita with a trunk con-
tanning the very clothes with which
she had departed tA,m it almost
four years earlier. Prominent
among these was a green nuns
yelling with pink ruchings. She
had had little enough use for it in
these past years.
The visit was not success. The
very things she had expected to
enjoy fell. somehow. fiat. She
missed the pace, the eXhilarating
uncertainty of the Oklahoma life.
The teacup conversation of her
girlhood friends seemed to lack
tang and meaning. Their exist
! ence was orderly, calm, accepted.
For herself and the other women
of Usage there was everything still
to do. There lay a city, country,
a whole vast territory to be swept
and garnished by an army of sun
bonnets. ParadoXically enough. she
was trying to implant in the red
clay of Usage the very forms and
institutions that now bored her in
Wichita. Yet it was, perhaps, a
very human trait. 1t was illus
trated literally by the fact that she
was, on her return, more thrilled
The Coolidge examiner., 1931-09-25

to find that the scrawny elm, no
larger than a baby's arm, which
she had planted outside the door
way in Usage, actually had found
some moisture for its thirsty roots,
and was now feebly vernal, than
she had been at sight of the cool
canopy of cedar, arbor vitae, sweet
locust, and crepe myrtle that shad-
ed the Kansas garden.
Then the children. The visiting
Venables insisted on calling Gin by
his full name-CimarrOn. Sabra
had heard it so rarely since the
day of his birth that she now real
lied, for the first time, how foolish
she had been to yield to Yancey's
whim in the naming of the boy.
Cimarron. Spanish; wild, or un-
ruly. The boy had made such an
obstreperous entrance into the
world, and Yancey had shouted, in
delight, Look at him! See him
kick with his feet and strike out
with his fists He's a wild one.
Heb, Cimarron PecenO Gitano."
Cimarron was almost eight now.
If it is possible for boy of eight
to be romantic in aspect, CimarrOn
Cravat was that His head was
not large, like Yancey'S, but long
and fine. like Sabra's-a Venable
head. His eyes were Sabra's, too,
dark and large, but they had the
ardent look of Yancey's gray ones.
His speech was strangely adult.
This perhaps, because of his close
association with his elders in those
first formative years in Usage. His
skin was bronzed the color of his
fathers. He looked like a little
patrician Spaniard or perhaps (the
Venables thought privately part
Indian. Then, too, there had been
few children of his age in the
towns beginning. Sabra had been,
at first, too suspicious of such as
there were. He would, probably,
have seemed a rather unpleasant
and priggish little boy if his voice
and manner had not been endowed
miraculously with all the charm
and magnetism that his father pos
sessed in such disarming degree.
Even little Donna was not much
of a success. The baby was an
eerie little elf, as plain as the boy
was handsome. She reSembled her
grandmother. Felice Venable, with
out a trace of that redoubtable
matron's former beauty. All in all,
Sabra found herself jOyouSiy re-
turning TO the barren burning coun-
try to which, four years earlier,
she had gone in such dread and
terror. She resented her mothers
do-this, do-that. She saw Felice
Venable now. no longer as n pow
er, an authority in all matters of
Importance, hut as sallow old
lady who tottered on heels that
were too high and who. as she sat
talking, pleated and implicated
with tremulous fingers the many
ruffles of her white dimity wrap
per. The matriarch had lost her
crown. Sabra was matriarch now
of her own little kingdom; and al
ready she was planning TO extend
that realm beyond and beyond its
present confines into who knows
what vastness of demesne.
She had meant. at the last, TO
find occasion TO inform her mother
and the minor Venables that ii was
she who ironed Yancey's fine white
linen shirts. But she was not
spiteful woman. And she reflect
ed that this might be construed as
a criticism of her husband.
SO, gladly, eagerly, Sabra went
back 10 the wilds she once had de.
spised.
