Short Covering.
The Improvement in this group was

been any change in attitude toward

POULTRY
FATS
NEW LAYING HOUSE"
BIG PROFIT FACTOR
Makes "Biddy" Egg roduc-
ing Machine.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.-WNU Service.
Hens become laying machines and
nothing more in the new apartment
henhouses which are replacing the old
type single-story laying houses on
many poultry farms.
Some Of these new laying houses are
from two to six stories high and have
a capacity of several thousand hens.
The birds are confined In these mod
ern houses and are never on the
ground after they go into the houses
as pullets in the fall.
The successful management of
apartment laying houses requires care
full attention. Rations must contain
all the essential ingredients. properly
balanced, because the hens have no
chance to supplement their feed with
green's. minerals, or grain found on
the range. In one of the departments
experiments slightly deficient diet
gave fairly good egg production with
hens on range, but gave poor results
when fed to hens confined in houses.
Ventilation in large laying houses is
provided by mechanical ventilating
systems. Many houses are insulated
and are heated during the cold
months. 1t is absolutely necessary
that large houses of this type be kept
clean and sanitary, or losses will be
great.

Santa Claus Is such familiar figure that
everyone takes 1t for granted that he has always
looked just as we know him now. But the fact
Is that the Santa Claus we know had his origin
In the word picture which Doctor Moore painted
In his immortal poem and from that resulted a
development in which two famous American
artists played an important part.
Doctor Moore's poem was written in 1922, but
1t was not until 1910 that the first portrait of
Santa Claus was printed. In a volume, very
scarce, of "The Poets of America" edited by
John Reese, Doctor Moores "a Visit From ST.
Nicholas" was included and for the first time it
was Illustrated with picture of good old ST.
Nick 1t shows him as genial, bewhiskered old
fellow wearing cap in which is stuck tall
feather. What is perhaps a most remarkable
fact about this portrait is that it shows him
smoking long slender pipe. But this is per-
fectly in keeping with Doctor Moore's original
conception, for Moore once confessed that a
certain portly, rubicund Dutchman living near
his fathers country seat, Chelsea, who was adj
dcted to pipe, was the original Of his idea of
the ST. Nicholas in his poem. The name of the
artist who drew this picture for Keeses volume
is unknown so there is still vacancy in the
title of first portrait painter of Santa Claus"
But this unknown not only drew a portrait of
the jolly old patron saint of Christmas, but he
also showed him seated in his sled driving his
The world had to wait another 20 years, how
ever, for another portrait of Santa Claus. In
1862 an edition of "A Visit From st. Nicholas"
Illustrated throughout by f. o. c. barley. was
published in New York barley gave us several
views of the old fellow at work One in particu-
lar was appropriate, for it showed Santa Claus
placing his finger slyly to one side of his nose
just as his biographer, Doctor Moore, had de-
scribed
Darleys work was a step in advance. He
probably was the foremost American illustrator
at the time; but, after all, his version seemed
to fail to satisfy completely, and another year
passed before the real Santa Claus climbed into
chimney, just as readers of the ancient classic
had pictured him in their minds barley had
given us the sly twinkle in the eye of the good
natured elf. and he had made the reindeer at
least as tiny as the poet had described them but
something was lacking.

An Australorp hen is said to have
produced 343 eggs in 365 days under
strict supervision Of an official lay
ing test.
When green feed is added as a sup
plement to the regular poultry ration,
the birds grow better and lay more
eggs. ALI the vitamins essential for
growth and health can be made avail
able if variety Of green feed is used
A per cent solution Of carbolic
acid is valuable in treating scaly leg,
common and unsightly ailment
among fowls.
Feed the pullets wet mash at least
once day in addition to having dry
mash in the feed hoppers when they
start to lay.
When plenty of clean litter Is kept
on the floor of the laying house, It
serves as a door mat for the hens to
wipe their feet upon before getting in
the nest.
A dozen of eggs weighing 26 ounces
contains 30 per cent more food than
dozen weighing 20 ounces.
Pullets will be better developed at
given age and ready for egg produc-
ton earlier when they are separated
from the cockerels at an early age
and grown separately.
1t is imperative that droppings from
the fowls should be regularly removed
from the dropping boards and prop
erly layered with dry soil to prevent
the escape of ammonia.
Eggs are clean when they are laid
and dirty eggs are the result Of dirty
feet. dirty nests and broken eggs
Hens that mott In July or August
are usually poor or medium producers
and may take about three months to
complete the mott.
Hens that shed their feathers in Oc-
tober or November are, as q rule,
good producers. Such birds are re
ferred to as late molters; they drop
their old feathers and grow q new
coat rapidly.

Sand and Gravel

While no test work. to the best OF
my knowledge. has ever shown that
the addition or omission Of sand and
gravel from chick or hen rations at
fected rate of growth or production,
l thoroughly believe that grit has
place. Baby chicks that are to be
kept off the ground the first few weeks
of their lives are entitled to a chance
to eat little sand or gravel The
mere fact that they always crave it.
even though good mash containing
plenty of calcium and phosphorus is
available, is an argument that is hard
to answer.
OF course, hungry chicks should not
be encouraged to gorge on sand before
they are given food and drink. But
to give some sand and gravel at the
start, and every week throughout
their stay on our farms. is sound prac-
tice 1 cannot but believe 1t makes
for healthier, more vigorous chicks
that will live and grow better.-Wal-
lace's Farmer.

Hen That Stops Laying
Seldom Worth Keeping

1t is easy to Gull hens in the fall aft
er they stop laying. The ones that
stop laying first can be picked out by
shrunken combs, yellow color of beak
and legs. and by the fact that they i'm
mediately begin to mott.
1t is an excellent plan to Gull hens
in the fall but it is better to Gull con-
tinually throughout the entire year.
The poultryman who watches his birds
can tell very soon when hen stops
laying. Unless there is some good rea-
son for this then is the proper time to
get rid of her.
This does not take care Of the low
producers who lay regularly but infre-
quently. Much can be told about the
producing ability of hen by studying
the depth and width Of her body and
the appearance of her head Culling,
Of course, does not increase the ability
of any individual hen to produce eggs.
In addition to culling, a breeding pro-
gram is needed through which the av-
erage producing ability Of the flock can
be gradually increased. - American
Agriculturist.

DEADLY DUCK HAWK
Is ABOVE ALL LAW
Feathered Bandit Supreme
in His Element.

High In the blue-and-whre depths
of the sky, far above the unrippled
waters and dead grass of the marsh.
a dark speck seems to hang motion
less for brief while; then it moves
along apparently as though gently
famed by the invisible air currents.
Looked at through field glasses, the
bird is found to be duck hawk, a
feathered bandit of the air, ma
rauder who knows no law but that
of self.
Though smaller than some of the
native hawks, the bird is a wander
er who takes great joy in keeping in
the wake of migrating water fowl,
especially ducks. This explains it's
presence far above the marsh, where
in the sloughs and creeks are many
kinds of ducks.
Being of the tribe of falcons and
peregrines. it is a superb flyer and
lethal killer, and as it moves across
the precipices of the clouds not
movement down below escapes the
scrutiny of bright fierce eyes.
Out of the far western woods a
flock of crows swing leisurely to-
ward marshy reaches. They are Cos
siping loudly, tapping along with a
numbering fight. Overhead that dark
moving speck is now vanished to be-
come a long, darkish streak in the
air.
1t is descending with an incredible
eye-unbelieving swiftness, resolving
itself into a birds shape dropping
with the speed of a projectile. On
the back a crow is struck, and earth
ward flutters and twists, a black
thing, its spine broken and a great
gaping hole in the body.
Even above the frightened outcry
of routed, panic-stricken crows
sounds the wild, fierce scream of the
duck hawk as it opens long, pointed
wings and mounts skyward with a
bound. Swinging higher, the killer
goes silently and swiftly as though
nothing Of consequence has just hap
pened.
Shooting Of early morning has
made the ducks restless. The f1ocks
are widely scattered. With a whis-
thing of wings a teal is heading for
safer waters. Now the duck hawk
sights another victim, prey more suit
ed to test winged strength and give
something to the spirit of pursuit.
From height of couple of thou
sand feet the hunter drops, an un-
recognizable thing too fast for eyes
to follow.
A few seconds elapse. There is a
bullet-like velocity, but the duck is
moving, too, and she opens up into
a fresh burst of speed when some
thing whirrs by her tail and ICONS
upward in her rear.
One look behind is enough. and
with head thrust far forward she
goes into high speed, one OF the fast
est ducks on wing.
Swinging around and coming up
slightly higher. the now aroused kill
er goes into pursuit. That half a
yard miss is gall.
With long, narrow wings closed.
then open, now closed, the bird
sweeps higher with a terrific swift
ness until it is flying over the duck.
Both are moving much more than a
mile a minute.
Once more it plunges downward,
it's long wings opening and shutting
to give it momentum, and with
clenched talons the hunter smashes
into its prey, who is knocked end
over end. The blow is deadly one.
for the neck is broken and the back
Is split open.
It is done in the grand manner

this sort Of thing.-Edwin G. Hobson,

What Is Christmas without Christmas hymns?
And when were the first Christmas hymns sung?
There is sound basis for the opinion that the first
Christmas hymns were written by Ambrose,
bishop of Milan, and by his contemporary Pru-
dentus. In the earliest days Of the Christian
era they wrote two hymns which still are widely
sung. That by Ambrose is the "Redeemer Of
the Nations, Come" while Prudentius is the
author Of "Of the Fathers Love Begotten."
Two other ancient hymns in celebration of
the Nativity are From Lands That See the
Sun Arise" by Sedulius, and Jesus, Redeemer
of Us ALL which is of unknown origin.
The earliest English pieces to which the char
acterization of Christmas hymns. as distin-
guished from CAROLS can be applied are those Of
Ben Jonson, 81 Sing the Birth Was Born To-
night" and George Wither "As On the Night
Before the Blessed Morn"
The first verse of Jonson's hymn reads:
ct sing the birth was born tonight
The Author both of life and light;
The angels so did sound it.
And like the ravished shepherds said,
Who the light, and were afraid.
Yet searched. and true they found It."
John Milton wrote the swelling lode on the
Morning of Christ's Nativity" hymn of rare
power which bears the stamp of the genius of
the great Puritan poet. Many will recall these
opening lines:
TT in Winter wild,
While the heaven-born child
All meanly wrapt in the rude manger lies;
Nature, in to Him,
Hath doff'd her gaudy trim,
With her great Master SO to sympathize"
The well-remembered lines "Hark the herald
angels sing, Glory to the newborn King" were
written in the Eighteenth century by Charles
Wesley while the opening stanza of the follow
ing, by Nahum Tate. is equally well known:
while shepherds watch'd their aocks by night,
atad IN he md
The angel Of the Lord down.
And glory shone around"
modern hymn which carries on the ancient
tradition of inspired poesy is that of the Amer
lean. Phillips Brooks. Who does not know:
20 little town of Bethlehem!
How still thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
In the formal dignifed cadence of the hymn,
writer's from the first have given expression
to the Hottest of Christmas sentiments
& & < & &
Undoubtedly the largest Christmas tree in the
world is giant sequoia in Gen. q. s. Grant
national park in California which was 5000
years old when the first Christmas carol was
sung. Each year Californians in the vicinity
use this as their Christmas tree and hold Christ
mas exercises at its base.

dashed off for his daughters
some verses to which he gave the title of "a
Visit From st. Nicholas" but which are better
known to most people under the title of the first
line" Twas the Night before Christmas
Tradition has it that Doctor Moore got the
Idea of writing the poem while on the way on
foot to New York-three miles distant from
Chelsea village-to purchase an extra turkey for
the Christmas dinner. AS he trudged the lonely
country road beneath the stars the lines were
born and when he arrived at his house in what
is now West Twenty-third street he shut him
self into his study and wrote the immortal
stanzas. The poem was read to his delighted
children in the kitchen of the rambling house.
Months later, a young girl visited the Moores
She had Professor Moore copy the poem in her
album. Without telling the Moores of her action
she showed the poem to the editor of Troy
IN. " newspaper. The next Christmas the edi-
tor published the poem anonymously. 1t was i'm
mediately copied throughout the country, and to
the great establishment of the author he realized
that he famous.
1t is related that this turn of fate irked the
learned doctor for the most of his lifetime, and
not until the time of his death did he accept the
imposed role Of author of the most beloved
Christmas poem in the English language. Doctor
Moore wrote also Hebrew grammar, considered
by scholars the best Of it's day. Curiously this
erudite work has long since vanished while "A
Visit From st. Nicholas" lives on from year to
year.
