ORPHANS TAKEN BY
PEOPLE OF WEALTH
New Fad" That Is Sweeping
''High Society,""

Among the changing tendencies In
American life since high society"
began to move out of the cities and
into the countryside, charity work
ers lay great emphasis on the In
creasing desire of women social lead
ers to adopt orphan children.
From the viewpoint of sociologists,
the important thing is not any net
increase in adoptions, but steady
rise in the quality and standing of
families who are taking orphans in
their homes.
I'VE do not really know whether
there is today more adoption than
there used to be-" says an official
statement published by the Woman's
Home Companion. But certainly it
is being done in a different and bet
ter mood. Babies are not so often
adopted In a spirit of charity. To
look upon adoption as a duty is to
mistake its purpose utterly and pos
sibly to ruin its chances of success.
1t brings it's own reward In the hap
piness of the adult, the relief of lone
illness, the sense Of responsibility.
These are the gifts with which chill
dren fill the home that shelters
them"
In one conventional suburban COM
munity of very wealthy people a
woman sociological expert found

comparatively restricted circle. II

couple who are leaders in this typical
suburban smart set. Their lives are
hectic in the modern fashion, reyolv-

foremost interest and contract a

dress smartly, drive expertly, pursue
the higher life diligently via book
clubs and community plays, do a fair
amount of charitable work and vast
amount of entertaining and lead
pleasant GREATNESS lives. Not only
my hostess, but others In her set con-
tinually surprised me by stating that
they had one or two adopted chill
dren. It seemed odd to meet many
such people in this gay. pleasure-lov-
ing group. But it serves to show
how very wise are these modern
young people. Wise indeed are those
who, when children of their own are
denied them, go forth and deliber-
ately adopt a child, or still more
wisely, adopt two"

FACTS
PLEA FOR KEEPING
GOOD DAIRY COWS
Expert Brings Matter Down
to Dollars and Cents.

By A. c. kinney, Dairy Extension Special
list. North Carolina State College
WNU Service.
Five good dairy cows on every farm
In the state will bring wealth to North
Carolina, not only from the returns
Of the cows themselves but also be-
cause of the kind of farming that
keeping these cows will demand. II
every farm in North Carolina had five
cows which would produce an aver
age Of one pound Of butterfat day,
and IL this fat were sold for butter
making purposes at 20 cents pound,
the returns would pay all the mu-
nicipal, county and state taxes levied
in 1881.
1t is not impossible TO have five good
cows on every farm, nor Is ii impos-
sible for these cows to produce one
pound of butterfat a day. The price
of % cents pound for the fat is not
excessive.
These returns would make a down
payment OF over S225 for every auto
mobile on our highways at the present
time. Or they would buy and pay
for two cities the size Of Raleigh, In
Guiding all their real and personal
property. The returns would give two
coats of paint for every farm build
ing Of all kinds In rural North Caro-
lima.
The moral to this Is: Grow feed
crops, milk cows and enrich the state.

FOLLOW EIGHT "C'S"
TO BETTER CHICKS
North Carolina Poultryman
Gives Good Advice.

By c. r. Parrish. Extension Poultryman.
North Carolina state College--WNU Service.
The eight "C's" for better chicks
may be grouped as clean eggs, clean
lncubators, clean chicks, clean brood
er houses, clean range. clean litter,
clean feed. and clean management.
Right now poultrymen are entering
their busiest season and are looking
for the best methods TO use in growing
healthy, hardy chicks which will pay
q profit. We do not know the best
way to grow healthy chicks, but we
do know a program to follow which
will almost invariably make for sue
cess In the industry.
No one can produce healthy chicks
without clean eggs produced by hens
that have been blood-tested and found
free of bacillary white diarrhea. These
eggs must be placed in incubators that
have been thoroughly cleaned and
dried before the eggs have ever been
put into them. Then, every poultry.
man should be careful about the
chicks which he brings to his place
from some other breeder or practical
poultryman. Only strong, clean chicks
from disease-free stock should be pur-
chased.
The next step is to have clean
brooder houses and place these on
ground where chicks have not been
reared before. Good range is also i'm
portant. It is wise to grow out the
chicks on range where no poultry
droppings have been spread and
where some green crop has been
planted. Clean litter on the floor is
needed. Straw, shavings or peat moss
is good for chicks. Sawdust is poor.
The dole system does not work in
feeding chicks. Give them all they
will eat In such containers as the
chicks cannot foul or waste the feed.

Cow Needs Grain

Don't blame the summer slump en-
tirely on flies. Failure to feed grain
must be charged up with a large
share Of the loss from reduced milk
flow In summer. Cows that get along
on grass can't make money for their
owners.
II the effects Of Withholding grain
in summer were confined only to the
summer months, 1t would be bad
enough. But it's worse than that
Failure to feed grain In summer cuts
profits In fall and winter.
The tester In Brown-Doniphan as
ISOLATION (Kansas) says that farmers
who fed grain all summer produced
butterfat the following December at
a cost Of six cents per pound less for
feed than the ones who gave their
cows no grain in summer.-Farm

Fresh Air Essential

Fresh air Is very essential for the
laying stock. Houses should not be
built to admit the fresh air through
cracks, causing draughts. Arrange the
ventilators so that the air can be
changed in the house at will One Of
the best ways of accomplishing this
is to have the windows so arranged
that they can be opened every day.
In the winter an hour or less would
probably be sufficient, but it is essen
tial, even in cold weather, to allow
the house to be purified by ventilation.
For this purpose many persons are
using burlap screens which give good
satisfaction. Some breeders advocate
the open scratching shed, where moth
ing but screen wire is between the
outside air and the fowl as they are
exercising during the day. Ventilation
shafts have not given the best salts

Need for More Proving

"A pedigree is promise but the
records of a bulls daughters are a
fulfillment Of that promise" says ].
G. Mcdowell Of the bureau of dairy
industry.
Dairy herd Improvement records
show that in only a few instances Is
a promise fulfilled before the bull Is
dead. Out of 236 bulls of four breeds
proved in Vermont In D. 81. L A. work.
100 increased production and 127 de-
creased production. The average
daughter of these sires produced 5000
pounds milk and their dams 5000
pounds. Under these conditions any
gain has to be the result of raising
more heifers than needed, and culling
the poorer ones is an expensive policy
of time, labor, and feed."-Hoard's

Care and Marketing of
Quality Eggs important

Caring for eggs until they are mar
keted is an important step in produc-
ing quality eggs, 1t is pointed out.
Methods of caring for eggs are out
lined as follows:
1. Keep eggs in a clean cool place,
free from all odors.
2. Prevent excessive evaporation Of
moisture from the eggs by covering
container with dampened cloth or
sack while they are being held.
8. Clean soiled eggs with steel wool
rather than wash them.
Suggestions for marketing eggs Of
quality are:
i. Market eggs at least twice weekly.
2. Secure an egg-candling chart from
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture, for which there is no charge,
and learn to determine quality Of eggs
by Gambling.
8. Do not market an egg unless you
are convinced that 1t is of good quail
ity.
4. Pack eggs for shipping or deliv-
cry with the small ends down.

Test Proved Value of
Grain to Pastured Cow

A twelve-year-old Guernsey cow In
the Genessee-Eagle Wisconsin COW
testing association demonstrated that
grain feeding on pasture pays. During
the four summer months she was fed
grain, she produced LII pounds more
milk and AZ pounds more butterfat
than she did during the same four
months the previous year when no
grain was fed. Her grain cost was
$13.75, while the increase in milk yield
brought $3.50 more, leaving an In
crease of s19.75.
This COW received eight pounds of
the following grain mixture daily while
on pasture; 100 pounds hominy, 200
pounds wheat bran, 100 pounds ground
oats, and 100 pounds linseed oilmeal.
Good commercial mixtures are avail
able, too, suitable for feeding, and
they eliminate the mixing labor at

$50 Passengers on Two Ships at

NEW YORK. January 30-With a
crash that aroused many Of the $50
passengers on the two ships, the Italian
liner Roma rammed the United States
liner President Roosevelt and stove
3O-fOot hole in her side as she lay at
anchor in quarantine early today.
Deck plates buckled under the ter
rife impact and 3-inch planking on
the ROoSevelt'S promenade deck was
splintered as the American ship heeled
over and then righted herself.
Steel plates on the port quarter Of
the Roosevelt were driven through
wooden walling by the Roma's prov.
The third-ClasS smoking room was
wrecked and several berths were
smashed.
The bow of the Roma, which was
creeping through the fog, beginning
Mediterranean cruise, was damaged.
AS she dropped anchor close by the
Roosevelt many Of her IT'S passengers
rushed to the decks, as did scores Of the
155 persons aboard the Roosevelt, in
bound from CherbOurg, France.
Capt. George Fried, master OF the
Roosevelt, and hero of many sea dis
aSterS, radioed the Coast Guard he
needed no assistance.
The only explanation Of the crash
was that the men on the bridge Of the
Roma mistook the lights of the fog

which the Roma had been following
out to sea.
