ALMA RUBENS LOSES
GRIM FIGHT AGAINST
NARCOTIC ADDICTION
Cinema Star of First Magnitude
for Decade Is Victim of
Pneumonia

Los Angeles, Jan. 22.-(R-Death
has ended the valiant fight of Alma
Rubens to conquer narcotic addiction
and make q comeback In motion pic
lures.
Miss Rubens, two years ago a
screen star Of the first magnitude,
lived q story more tragic than any
film makers would attempt to de-
pict. She died Wednesday night of
pneumonia, but the coming of death
after a 60-hour coma served to re-
move the darkest cloud ever to
shadow the black-haired actress.
Two weeks ago Miss Rubens was
arrested In San Diego on federal
charges Of smuggling and possession
OF narcotics. She va taken Ill with
a cold. which developed into pneu-
monia. shortly after being released
from jail under 5000 bond to await
hearings and trial.
Beside her death bed in the home
of DR.. Charles J. Pfleuger. her physi-
clan, stood her mother, Mrs. Theresa
Rubens, and her sister, Mrs. Hazel
Large, MADEIRA, Cal. The doctor was
the only other person present when
the end came.
When, nearly IL years ago. Miss
Rubens played the feminine lead in
Douglas Fairbanks THE Half Breed"
she was described as Hollywood's
newest Cinderella. Her starring roles
In such pictures as "Humoresque,"
'The Valley of Silent Men," "Gilded
Butterfly" Siberia" and "Unseeing
Eyes," during the next decade estab-
lished her as one OF filmdom's fore
most.
In January, 1929, Miss Rubens was
revealed as q narcotic addict. She
dropped out Of pictures and soon was
confined for treatment in a state
hospital. She was paroled in q few
months, only to be cited again for
addiction and sent to another state
asylum, from which she was released
as cured in December Of the same
year.
During q trip to New York for a
rest that she hoped would prepare for
her remittance to films. Miss Rubens
broke with Ricardo Cortez. film actor,
her third husband. They were mar
ried In January, 1926. She said he

and forwarded divorce papers here
for filing. Although the suit never
went to trial, the couple remained

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT
BRINGS MORE EGGS
Hens Found to Respond to
Heightened Day.

Use artificial lights to give the hens
about thirteen or fourteen-hour day,
advises f. e. Andrews of the New
York state college of agriculture. Ii
lights are used TO increase the length
of day to seventeen or eighteen hours,
hens lose weight and egg production
decreases.
lights are used in laying houses to
lergthen short days of fall and win
ter so that the hens will eat enough
to maintain their weight and egg pro-
duction. This is merely making a nor
NAL condition in an abnormal time
and is not a forcing process If used
with reasonable judgment. Ordinarily,
the poultryman should try to make
in fall and winter the same length OF
day and night that the birds normally
would have in the springtime. This
Is about a thirteen to fourteen-hour
day and fen to eleven-hour night.
The length of, time of artificial light
ing will vary according to the quality.
age, and condition of the hens.
Hens use lights more efficiently In
the morning than at night. In the
morning they are usually hungry after
several hours on the rOosts. but In the
evening their appetite is not so keen
and many of the birds will go to the
roosts and wait until the grain is fed
before they eat. Morning lights have
another advantage over evening lights:
no dimming device is needed for the
lights are turned off after daylight.
In the evening il is necessary to dim
the lights for ten or fifteen minutes
before turning off, to send the hens to
the roosts. Ordinarily the cOmbina-
ton whereby a portion Of the lights
are given in the morning and balance
in the evening is most satisfactory.

man and to the lighting system.

Cow May Give Less Milk
Yet Show Bigger Profit

Records made by two cows in the
same herd on test in Dakota county
dairy herd improvement association
during 1890 afford an interesting exam
pie of what a dairyman learns in a
testing association. One of these
cows produced 11,05S pounds of milk
in her lactation period of IL months.
The other produced only 1851 pounds
of milk in the ten and half months
during which she was MIXED. AL
though this was almost gallon a day
less on the average than Cow No. l.
yet Cow No 2 made an income over
feed cost OF $50 more than Cow No. l.

DAIRO1199
TO FEED SKIMMILK
BACK TO THE COW
Experts Prove Practice Is
Profitable.

Some dairymen are finding profitable
practice which virtually amounts TO
Skinming the milk once, and then
Swimming il again-and again. This is
possible only in districts where butter
is the principal dairy product and
quantity of skimmilk is by-product.
One way to use the by-product is to-
feed it to the dairy cows that produced
it. The cows require protein supple
ment in their ration. The butter max
er, however, is interested in the fat.
Ordinarily the dairyman feeds the oil
meals. But skimmilk contains most OF
the protein which the dairy cow con-
sumes and does not require for her
maintenance. The protein is less
concentrated than it is in an oil meal
but ii is in an easily available form.
Where skimmilk is cheap ii may be
an economical source of protein.
Feeding tests at the University of
Minnesota indicate that eight pounds
of skimmilk will take the place of one
pound of Iinseed oil meal. Knowing
the local prices of meal and skimmilk.
it is easy for the dairyman to calcu
late which is the cheaper for him to
feed
When the dairyman feeds skimmilk
for its protein he sets up what
amounts to a circular movement of
milk from the COW TO the separator
and back through the cow to the milk
pail. Each time as it passes through
the separator he skins the cream and
sends the milk back to gather more
cream within the COW.
Few cows will drink the skimmiik
when il is offered to them unmiXed
with some other feed. The practice
at the Minnesota station was to mix
the skimmilk with the grain feed in a
pail and then pour 1t over the silage.
Obviously the quantity of skimmilk
that can be fed without waste depends
upon the quantity of grain and upon
its liquid-holding capacity. On account
of the fact that cows in summer often
receive no silage and but little grain
and as skimmilk is very attractive TO
flies. there is no doubt that skimmilk
is more advantageously fed in the win
ter than in the summer.

Sorting the Flock

(1) A broiler is young chicken of
either sex weighing two pounds or
under. (2) A spring is young, soft
boned bird of either sex that weighs
over two pounds.
(3) A fowl is hen (female over
one year old), or puller that shows
too much harness in the breast bone
(keel) to be elassed as spring.
az Stays are cOckerels that exhibit
too much hardness of bone. develop
ment of spurs or comb to be classed as
springs, but not enough to be classed
as ROSTERS.
(5) Capons are Clearly castrated
male birds. (6) Slips are birds upon
which the operation of castration has
not been entirely successful. 90
BOOSTERS are cocks (male birds over
one year old).

Separator Profits

E. T. Leavitt tells about a whole
milk dairyman in Illinois who bought
a separator to separate his surplus
milk. In the first month he received
S1S05 more than in the previous
month. and had the skimmilk TO feed
his pigs and chickens. Interesting
how that S1S.O5 was secured. He &C.
tually got 1854 more for 1873 pounds
less milk sold than in the previous
month. and received SSH for cream
from the milk withheld from market.
Need we remark that great many
whole milk dairymen have this same op.
pOrtunity? Charles Buhmann. Attica.
Ohio. says he gets from Is cents TO
50 pound for cream in the form of
cottage cheese. buttermilk, ice cream.
etc. Depression forced him into q
change he has found profitable.-Farm

Mites Work at Night

A real thief in the dark" is the
common red mite Of poultry. During
cracks and crevices around the
perches and nests in the poultry house.
At night they come out to feed on the
fowls.
Red mites appear in all poultry
houses as warm weather approaches.
A good way to control them is to paint
the woodwork in the poultry house
with some strong, oily, penetrating ma
terial. Carbolineum; creOsote, crude
carbolic acid and kerosene mixed in
equal parts; whitewash; waste crank
case oil; lime sulphur, and nicotine
sulphate are all recommended.

Winter Eggs Most Profitable

Poultry flock records kept by North
Dakota poultry raisers last year show
that high producing flocks averaged
several cents per dozen more for eggs
than those of lower production.
This higher return was brought
about by much higher production Of
eggs during September, October, De-
cember, and January, last year, when
egg prices are nearly twice as high
as during the other months. Nearly
all hens laid well during spring and
summer, so it is evident that in
creases in production which come at
periods of high egg prices are most
important.

Reducing tuberculosis

where practically all the flocks in two
townships were tuberculin tested, says
a writer in the Southern Farmer, only
1 per cent of the pullets reacted where
as 80 per cent of the birds over two
years old reacted. This would indi-
cate that If farm flock is infested
and the practice is followed of dis
posing of all birds at the end Of the
first year of egg production. that in
itself would reduce. very greatly the
losses from this disease.

Caring for Baby Chicks

One of the things to watch when
raising baby chicks on the floor is to
provide sufficient protein and mineral
in the mash. Plenty of hopper space
is also necessary, so that for the first
two weeks hopper four feet long,
is provided for each 100 chicks. They
should have twice as much space from
then on. 1t is best always to have
enough hopper space so that not less
than twO-thirds of the chicks can eat
at one time.-Exchange
