dreams.
One of the men the English actor

other is Cagliostro, famous Eight

is the marquis of Queensberry,

studio where twelve girls were need
ed for few days work in college
comedy.
Thinking that the Jobs were set
for Us, we reported at the studio
the next day to find out that there
were fifty girls waiting. Out of
these twelve were to be chosen.
The assistant director came out
of his Office and began looking us
over. He chose eleven girls, and I
was not among them. l coughed
very loufly and shuffled my feet.
The sound attracted his ear and his
eye followed. l had brought my
self to his notice, and he said,

work tomorrow morning."
My sister was not chosen, but
went back later in the afternoon
and we persuaded him that thirteen
girls would be better than twelve,
that thirteen was really lucky

Athole work, too.
And that is how I happened to do
my first days work. But breaking
into the movies is not like walking
into a room, for it's easier to get in
than stay in. Weeks passed and
no work came, but that one days
work gave us at least the right to
say that we had picture expert
ence and we at last got other days
extra work.
Athole dropped out of the game
to get married, and went the rest
of the way alone.
Extra work led to bits, bits to
small parts and small parts to
larger ones. BY the time was
playing parts I was noticed on the
coast and got a contract with the
old Mayer studios. When the
Metro oldwyn-Mayer merger was
effected my contract was carried

Save Fertilizer,
Experts Warning
Muck Soil Growers Can
Cut Some Applications
at Least One-Half.

Muck growers who have accumu-
lated a fertilizer bank account In
recent years can save money in 1898,
If they are sure that the supply of
nitrogen is maintained. However,
similar savings on fertilizer cannot
be made for different types Of muck
soils. .st ~ ~.s
Newly-cleared wooded muck soil
Is low in phosphoric acid and pot
ash, but has a liberal supply Of nj
trogen. Savings cannot be made in
phosphoric acid and potash and q
fortified of 0-10-10 analysis should
be used. Newly cleared muck that
bore a heavy growth of sedges,
reeds, and rushes needs nitrogen
in addition to the phosphoric acid
and potash, as a 4S-10 or 1872
analysis. ~ -.
Mucks that have been cultivated
for five or ten years and that have
been literally fortified do not show
much crop response to potash and
phosphoric acid, but need appli-
cations of nitrogen. Ordinarily, the
grower who has used ample applica-
lions of fertilizers in the past, and
whose land has been flooded. has a
reserve of potash and phosphoric
acid, especially for the late-plant-
ed crops. Early crops such as
onions, lettuce and potatoes which
are planted when the soil is cold,
need all of the fertilizing elements
In at least half the usual amount.
The lower rate Of fertilization
cannot be continued indefinitely.
Ways to save this year are: to APP
ply less of the usual fertilizer an
alysis, but apply more nitrogen as a
side dressing; or to shift to an anal
ysis which contains more nitrogen
for instance, II the customary ap-
plication has been 1.500 pounds Of
2-S-10 for onions, use instead $50
pounds of a 1910, applying the same
amount Of nitrogen but half as much
phosphoric acid and potash. Similar
changes can be made to suit other
conditions. Such changes are espe-
cially easy to make In home-mixing
fertilizers. Sulfate of ammonia is
cheaper than nitrate Of soda and
has proved equally effective on the
New York state muck soil tests.

Swarm Control Problem
BOthers Most ApiariSts

In the spring, the apiarist can
make an effort to correct the mis-
takes which have taken their toll In
the fall and winter. 1t is never pos
sible to make up for all the mis-
management up to this time. When
the items Of fall and winter man.
agement have been taken care of
properly, then spring operations are
merely a matter Of proceeding to-
ward the honey flow-a period of
anticipation.
The chief concern during the
spring Is room for colony develop
ment. A Langstroth frame will ac-
commodate stores and supply room
for development Of 5000 bees. 1t
will require many frames, even
when used two or three times dur
ing ''brooding up" to bring out a
colony Of 10000 to 10000 bees.
Swarm control is the outstanding
problem for the average producer
during the spring. This Ia pri-
marily a matter of furnishing ample
room. The first impulse to swarm
Is received from a crowded feeling.
Bees will swarm from a three-frame
nucleus; they will swarm from a
honey-bound and pollen-clogged
brood chamber. It is true that a
colony headed by young queen is
less inclined to swarm than a col
ony headed by an old queen.-Iowa

Amount Hen Will Eat

A Leghorn hen will eat from 70
to Is pounds of feed year, while
"a Red or Rock will eat from SO to
IS5 pounds. This will usually be
about half mash and half grain. If
all of the grain is yellow corn and
40 per cent of the mash ration Is
corn, this will make 20 per cent of
the total ration corn. This 20 per
cent amounts to one bushel of corn

TO CHECK INROADS
OF POULTRY LOUISE
Eradication Simple Matter,
Specialist Says.

By r. q. GRAY. Extension Poultryman.
s Ohio State University.-WNU Service. I,
Controlling the inroads of the
poultry louise upon the production
Of the farm flock is a relatively sim
pie task. The first symptoms of
lice infestation are droopiness, low
cred wings, and ruffled feathers. In
young chicks, diarrhea follows and
chickens often die in q few days I;
or in older chicks they sometimes
fall prey to various other diseases.
Mature birds sometimes are very
heavily infested without showing
much i'll effects, but usually the egg
yield is likely to decrease with a
heavy lice infestation. In other
cases, the mature bird may lose
weight and die as a result of these
little rapacious warriors.
Perhaps one of the best ways of
controlling lice is by the use of
nicotine sulphate. This material Is
applied to the top part of the
perches just before the birds go to
roost. The essential thing is to get
as small quantity as possible
along the roosts and yet have some
along the entire length of the roost.
Although nicotine sulphate is very
expensive, it has been found that a
teacupful Of the material is enough
to treat the perches in house with
a capacity of $50 birds.
A second application should be
made some eight or ten days after
the first in order to destroy the
newly Matched lice.

Sex Shown by Feathers

At six weeks Of age 1t Is difficult,
especially with the larger breeds, to
tell sex. There are several tests"
offered, among them this one: Pluck
a few feathers from around the sad
die or the base of the tail and hold
them up to the light. If they are
pointed they indicate cockerel; If
rounded, a pullet, it is claimed. An
other way is to hold up the bird by
the back OF its neck with two
fingers. If male it will drop its
legs If female 1t will draw them
up close to the body.

Palatable Dry Mash

Making a dry mash palatable so
that the laying flock will eat 1t IN
sufficient quantities is one of the
problems of the farm flock keeper.
The manufacturer of commercial
feeds puts various ingredients to
gether that will not only produce
eggs but that taste good to the
hens even though they are receiy-
ing liberal grain ration. Plenty
of ground yellow corn helps make
the mash more popular with the
hens and they will quickly show
their appreciation.

TINE upswing of prices has found
its way into the game Of golf
Your golfing equipment, which
has been at rock bottom price
for the last year, will cost more money
during the coming Winter. Already the
upward swing of prices has begun, led
by an advance in the price of golf balls
which has entirely wiped out the re-
duction made last April.
Prices of other golf equipment, in
cluding clubs, are being booked at higher
levels than during the past Summer
and an increase of somewhere between
10 and 25 per cent in prices of all golf
equipment may be looked for during the
next few months.
The big golf ball manufacturers have
notified the local professionals and re-
tailers that balls of the standard grade
| which have been selling at IS cents
apiece, now are to sell at IS cents. The
price for these balls since last Spring
has been IS cents for one, SIPS for two
| and $1.90 for three. The price now is
rs cents straight. Commensurate in
creases have been announced in the
prices of the imported golf balls, which
QlOPPCo LII pllSC az lllC tAlllC VIC w
meStic balls were reduced.
90 far the big manufacturers have
- given no official notification Of an
advance in the price of clubs. but
rumors throughout the golf industry
have it that an advance in price of
manufactured clubs in both wood and
steel shafts will come along shortly. No
hint has been given of the amount Of
the advance. Steel-shafted clubs Of the
cheaper grades. manufactured almost
entirely by machine. dropped to ridicu-
lousy low levels during the Summer,
although the price Of the better grades
Of steel-shafted implements remained
on stable plane.
So you, Mr. Golfer, will find your
sport little more expensive during the
coming Winter. and probably even more
costly next Spring, when the full force
of the new deal in price advance will be
felt
