THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES 3. TRACEWELL.

Drought In the Far West may cut
down on the amount Of food put out for
the wild birds In the District OF Colum-
bia and nearby Maryland and Virginia.
Already the price Of baby chick feed.
used by many for feeding the songsters,
has advanced, with the probability that
scratch feed and regular mixtures OF
seeds and grains, called wild bird food,
will join them.
Dealers in the past have been able to
sell the chicken feeds, liked by wild
birds, at reduced prices in larger quanti-
ties, whereas they declared that this was
impossible with the seed mixtures, as
the prices they were forced to pay for
1t precluded this.
In the event that the standard price
Of wild bird seed and grain mixtures,
ranging from 6 to 10 cents per pound. is
forced upward many persons interested
in feeding the birds which Winter in
this vicinity will be confronted with
something Of q dilemma.
They either must feed only for part
of the day or not for such long season.
This will apply, of course, to those per-
sons who, interested in the birds beyond
q superficial and passing fancy. made a
real business of catering to their wants.
II several feeding stations are put in
operation in one yard scorces OF birds
will come to 1t each day.
In an amazingly short space OF time
they look to the yard and its food and
come every day, bringing others from
time to time.
Thus the amount of seed several score
or several hundred birds can consume
IN three or four months is nothing short
of amazing, almost unbelievable. to those
persons who merely put out few bread
crumbs now and then.
We have seen the carefully kept rec
ords of one bird lover and know that he
used more than 400 pounds OF grain from
Thanksgiving through the month of
March.
This feed, of various types, cost him
more than $50. While it may seem a
rather large bill. to some in its favor it
can be stated that it furnished all-day
amusement to an entire family for four
months.
This sum Of money gave a very high
type of amusement to the inmates of
that home from O'Clock in the morning
to about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, or
evening, as some call it.
They felt sure that the same amount
of money scarce could have been put
into anything else which would have
brought as much pleasure to them and
good to others-namely, the birds.
This good, in benefiting the birds, is
extended to agriculture, which is pro-
tected by the Spring and Summer eat
ing habits of the songsters in devouring
enormous quantities of insects which
are harmful to crops.
Yet, II there Is an appreciable rise In
prices of grains and seeds, as used in
wild bird food mixtures, many persons
will begin to feel that something must
be done about It,
They will not want to give over helping
the birds. 1t Is too picturesque, too in
teresting an amusement and too helpful
to the songsters to give over.
In order that the budget may be kept
down they may resort to shortening the
feeding season or feeding for part of
the day only.
Also. they may experiment with the
cheaper sorts of feeds, notably those
used in chicken feeding.

of administration OF the affairs Of the
Nation. There Is less danger, II any
exists, in . policy Of tolerance. Public
meetings and expoundings Of the doc
trines of Communism are indeed largely
self-corrective.
The real danger to the fundamental
institutions of the American common
wealth lies not in the espousal by groups
so small as to weigh scarce q feathers
worth in the electoral scales of the doc
trine Of Communism. It lies in the di-
vergence Of the larger groups Of the
political divisions toward the left. No
gag can be put upon the expounders Of
the doctrines Of the new liberalism"
who are enrolled in the ranks Of advo-
Gates of that form of the more abundant
life that is promised in the name Of
democracy-not necessarily spelled with
. capital.
The officials Of Terre Haute might well
read their Shakespeare. They might
profit from perusal of the text Of the
play Much Ado About Nothing" in
which appears that delectable character
Dogberry, described as "chief constable" !"
Certain persons are hailed before him,
charged with an of1ense which is not
clearly defined. One Of them calls him
an ass. Responds Dogberry:
"Dost thou not suspect my place? Dost
thou not suspect my years? o that he
we're here to write me down an ass!
But, masters, remember that am an ass.
Though it be not written down, yet for
get not that am an asst"
The "chief constable" of Terre Haute,
and perhaps the Mayor of that city,
should forthwith refresh their memories
of the Bard of Avon-who is doubtless
fairly well known in the literary belt OF
Indiana-and reflect upon the fact that
Dogberry did not. after all, represent the
intelligence of his own land. even as they
do not represent the intelligence OF
America.

Refresllment

Forest Of pines and birches.
Dark green and bronze and gold:
Above it glows a sky of rose
Tis sundown in the void.
The close of an autumnal day
OF work and strong sunshine
Whose fervors pale as I inhale
The fragrance of the pine;
And tired eyes are rested
BY colors softly blent-
In the deep wood, in solitude,
My twilight hour is spent.
Then I drive back at nightfaIl.
Among the fleets of cars
All faring home-as skies become
A wonderland Of stars.

candidate for the Senate, is by no means
happy over his situation. Terry Car
penter, who won the Democratic NOM
ination for the Senate, swears by all that

torial campaign and gather in as many
Democratic votes as he possibly can.
This splits the Norris support to some
degree, and gives aid and comfort to

SAYS RED SQUILL BEST
RAT POISON NOW KNOWN

Red Squill is considered by far
the best rat poison known, but its
success depends upon how and
where it is distributed.
Two of its main advantages are
that it is relatively harmless to
domestic animals and that it is
comparatively slow to take effect
on rats, said George B. Lay, rodent
control leader of the u. S. Biologi-
cal Survey, with headquarters at
N. C. State College.
When a fast-acting bait kills
the first rats that nibble it, he ex-
planned, the other rats are frighten-
ed away and are, therefore, not
likely to be poisoned.
Although Red Squill will not
kill domestic animals, it may make
them sick, and for this reason it
should be placed where they cannot
get at it very easily, Lay pointed
out.
On farm premises, the bait
should be spread in the afternoon,
after chickens and livestock have
more or less settled down. Put out
! Dlentv of bait so that all rats will
have a chance to eat it freely.
Look for runways, burrows, and
other places where rats may be,
Lay continued, and place bait in
and around these places. Many
small bits of bait, about the size
of marbles, are better than a few
bigger pieces.
Rats run along beams and rafters
and in other high places, but they
return to the floor or ground to
seed feed and water. So the bait
should be put out in low places
rather than in those higher up.
Red Squill causes a gradual par
alysis. When the rats feel the ef-
fects coming on, they seek burrows
and other out of the way places to
die. Few if any dead rats are
found in the open, and there are
seldom any serious unpleasant
odors.
However, if any dead rats are
found in the open, Lay cautioned,
they should be buried or otherwise
destroyed.

Best Pork Comes From
Well Conditioned Hogs

Getting hogs in good condition
for slaughteripg is one of the main
. points in successful butchering,
said H. W. Taylor, extension swine
specialist at State College.
The best pork, he said, comes
from hogs that are neither too
young nor too old, too fat or too
thin.
Butcher hogs should be well
finished. A we'll finished hog
weighing from 200 to $50 pounds
produces the most satisfactory
pork for curing on the farm.
Smooth, evenly fleshed animals
produce a better meat, and will cut
up with less waste than coarse,
rough, wrinkled, and flabby ones.
They also have a more tender, finer
textured product with the right
proportion of fat and lean.
Hogs that are gaining in weight
are usually the healthiest and will
make the best meat. However, the
loss of a few pounds in shipping be-
fore butchering will not lower the
fuality of the meat.
The muscles of a thin hog are
tough. They lack the flavor and
juiciness found in a we'll marbled
piece of meat.
Extremely fat, heavy hogs can
not be converted into the best
quality cured pork.
Although hogs may be slaught-
cred at any age, meat from young
pigs is watery and soft and does
not have the flavor and keeping
qualities of meat from animals a
little older.
Additional information on kill
ing and curing hogs may be OBJ
tanned from county agents or in
extension folder No. "a, killing
and Curing Meat on the Farm"
which will be sent free upon ap-
plication to the agricultural editor
at State College.

LISTEN FOR A LONESOME
DRUM
by Carl Cramer
Reviewed by Eleanor Newman

Carl Cramer, having resided in
Alabama for the past few years in
order to write his famous Stars Fell
ON Alabama, returns home to New
York State and finds abundant mat
erial for writing his next novel.
Weird-the book, as the State,
screams of the supernatural. Cramer
divides the state and proceeds to tell
of each community's eccentricities
and peculiarities. We begin with
Chautauqua, a sweet, wholesome,
quiet town where adult education
undertakes to specialize in more in
volved learning.
Indians, their superstitions, reli-
gious beliefs, uncanny witch tales,
and dark dances are interestingly
related. Accordingly, there are the
various divine beliefs of the Cauca-
sian c the Shakers, their weaken.
ed faith, and their Mother Ann; the
Millierites who prophesized the end
of the universe ten years ago; the
Jemimakins whose leader was the
Universal Friend, Jemima, who died
twice; the Spiritualists and the little
Fox girls who fooled the entire ma
ton by tapping their toe gently on
the floor, making the world believe
it was a spirit talking to them; and
the Moves establishment that for
babe the loving of one individual
more than another. This was a
small factory cente run by the
great J. P. Noyes, and it is amazing
how one personality could S en-
tirely dominate and influence hun
dreds of lives.
There is the community where
hunting, horses, and guns r its
breath and life. The LOOMS
Gang-the great horse thieves
Randy Cook, and Pop Risley add
much to the color of this location.

quite a sensation. After being one
