Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote dor
They don't waste their time sleep
ing, and they don't starve TO death.
They may go hungry some of the
time. Most of US do that in bad
weather. But they catch enough
to live on. Why doesn't Buster
Bear?
"Huh!" grunted Prickly POrky.
You don't know much about Bus
ter Bear. What do you think he
lives on, anyway"
"Why. on any of us little people
he can catch" replied Peter prompt
ly. Everybody knows that"
Then everybody knows something
that everybody doesn't know at all.
That is the trouble with a lot of
peOple-they think they know
when they don't know. Now take
the queer case of Buster Bear.
Every one seems TO think that be-
cause he eats a mouse or a rabbit
or some other of the little forest
people silly enough not to keep out
of his reach, that he lives on them
altogether, just as Old Man Coyote
does. That shows how little some
folks know about their neighbors.
If Old Man Coyote should catch you.

For Winter Eggs

Delaying the housing of pullets
until they are well started laying is
one of the main causes of a winter
and fall molt. a disastrous blow to
winter egg production. says Miss
Cora Cooke, extension specialist in
poultry, Minnesota university farm.
Houses and equipment should be
ready so that the pullets can be
showed in as soon as they start TO
lay. A ready house is one that is
clean, thoroughly disinfected, in
sulated for winter and well venti-
lated in the winter as well as in the
summer
Don't have a lot of fixing to be
done on the house after the pullets
are in, Miss Cooke admOniShes. be-
cause it worries them too much.
She advises sorting the pullets,
keeping the big thrifty, yellow-leg-
ged ones and shipping the runty,
pale ones. Any surplus of good pull
lets should be sold, as an Overcrowd-
ed house is not conducive TO profits
even with the best of hens. Miss
Cooke also advocates separating the
nullets into two lots, if some are
further developed than others.

Peter, which | hope he wont you
would make him a good meal But
you wouldn't be much more than a
mOuthful for Buster Bear. Two or
three fat mice would do Reddy Fox
for whole day, but they wouldn't
more than tickle Buster Bears stom
ach. Buster eats meat when it hap
pens to fall in his way, but what he
lives on mostly are roots and ber
ries and nuts and bugs and fish and
frogs, and he has to have a lot
of them. Where, pray tell. would
he find them at this time of the
year? He is just like Johnny Chuck
and Bobby Coon and the other sleep
ers-he'd starve if he didn't sleep"

Pays to Add Milk to
Hens Regular Ration

Milk, at present prices a relative
ly cheap food. deserves a place in
the poultry ration. If liquid milk
is available on the farm. this form
is the cheapest to use. For every
gallon of liquid milk fed daily TO
each 100 hens. the protein cOncen-
trate in the mash may be reduced
5 per cent.
If liquid milk is not available.
dried milk may be used in the mash.
When liquid milk Is not available
for the poultry ration. the following
grain ration is recommended by the
poultry specialists. For the mash /:
Ground yellow corn. 40 pounds /:
ground wheat. 20 pounds; ground
oats. 20 pounds; dried milk. five
pounds; meal scraps. Is pounds !;
salt, one pound. For the grain {:
Cracked corn. so pounds; wheat, 40
pounds; and oats or barley, 10
pounds.
A moist mash fed in the summer
will stimulate the poultry appetite
and result in increased production.
The regular laying mash may be
used in making the moist mash

The cost of brOiler production de-

The cost of chick grains may easily

Overhead costs vary with equip

said that experience is needed If

! effective way of controlling two Of the
enemies of the sugar beet grower through con-
troll of one of them. The insect known as the
beet leaf hopper is the one against which the
entomologstS have turned their attention. The
hopper which eats the leaves is not SO danger
GUS in itself. but it carries with it the very Sc
rious curly top disease, which seriously affects
the beets.
The control IS through "outfoxing" the hop
pers. The scientists are able to forecast ac-
curately an outbreak of the hopper and they
warn the growers in the area in which the
hopper is expected Some other crop is then
substituted and the hoppers finding no beet
tops available hop on to other sections usually

spending Poqcer

THE wave Of optimism which has followed
increased commodity prices may, at first,
thought not appear quite clear, but figures for
last years crops tell the story. The farmer
of 1881 and the stock raiser of the same year
received total for their products about 81
250,00O, 900 less than in the previous year. This
huge shrinkage of cash return to the farmer
naturally deprived him of that much cash,
which he might have spent. 1t was equal to
about one-fourth the value of all oar foreign
trade for manufactured goods of three or four
years ago.
The total value of all the agricultural and
stock products sold by the farmers last year
was around five and quarter billion dollars.
An industry waiting eagerly for markets can
readily see the value Of an increase to the
farmer Of Is to 20 per cent in the prices he
receives. Another billion dollars Of spending
power on the farms would prove to be q
stimulating factor which would well justify In
creased industrial activity which would go
long way toward restoring jobs to a large per-
oentage of the unemployed.

ton of brain functions was established. the
search for the cause of great mental ability was
eagerly followed along that line. The different
parts of the brain were studied separately and
in relation to each other.
This study of brains attracted considerable
attention and you may remember that it became
quite fashionable to bequeath ones brain TO
some laboratory for study.
Prof Donaldson explains it as follows:
Some so years ago cry went up from the
brain anatomists for more and better brains
With few exceptions their work had been car
ried on with so-called hospital material and it
was thought that if brains from those of some
what higher mental grade could be studied,
new light could be obtained.
This led to the formation Of anthropometric
societies or similar groups among the intelec-
tuals, whose members kindly consented to be-
queath their brains for study.

interest in science and it further represents that

through the blood, the state of the nerve cells

this change the mental processes show cor

the beginning steps have been taken in this
direction.
While science may never find a way to in

The blood is only one factor influencing men,

important factors may be the structure and
chemical composition Of the nerve cells in the
brain. So far, however. not much has been
discovered about these factors.
Scientists have been trying for over CEN
