PRECOCITY NOTED
IN PULLET FLOCK
May Identify Early Starters
When Picking Breeders.

man. New jersey I Agricultural station S''1
WNU Service.
The best and highest egg produc-
ers in flock of poultry almost in
variably are those which started the
laying year early and got under way
during their first three months at
fairly high rate of production.
There is evidence to show that
such precocity in pullets is largely
inherited. Because of this, it is well
for practical poultrymen who antici-
pate producing their own chicks to
mark the pullets going into produc-
ton in such way that precocious
starters may be identified later
when breeders are chosen.
With focks that are so Matched
and reared as to go into egg yield
early, it is necessary to know what
rate and what amount of produc-
ton is necessary in order that in
dividuals may be termed precocious
layers. If the pullets are not man.
aged under artificial lights, preco-
cious production might be described
as being at least 10 eggs per bird
for the first month, IL per bird for
the second, and IA per bird for the
third.
If the pullets are managed under
artificial lights and are given a 49,
hour lighted day and the proper
management to go with it, these
minimum production figures might
be expected to rise by one egg for
the first month, two eggs for the
second month, and two or three
eggs for the third month.
These standards furnish poultry
men with guide by which to judge
any of their pullets. Records bet
ter than these minimum standards
are, of course, to be accepted as
indicating still greater values. Rec
ords under these standards, how
ever, must be taken as indicating
lack of inherited capacity for pre-
cocious laying, or early starting.
One must be sure, of course, that
failure to get under way early and
with rapid production rate is not
due to mistakes of management,
feeding, weather or any other en-
vironmental factors which have
some bearing on egg yield.
While selecting breeders by their
degree of precocity is valuable, it
must be borne in mind that, after
all, the progeny test is the very best
method of measuring breeders
value.

In the Feed Lot

A liberal supply of whole grains
should be fed turkeys until the mar
keting date.
Calves will waste feed eating from
small boxes. Give them large ones
to eat from.
Turkeys gain most economically
if a constant supply of clean, fresh
water is before them at all times.
The washing of eggs removes the
slight natural. protective covering
and increases the tendency of eggs
to absorb f1avors.
More than half a million farmers
in this country buy gasoline, oil and
other petroleum products through
farmers cooperative associations.
Houses for ducks must be damp
proof, draught-proof and rat-proof.
To wash henhouses, a suitable So
luton is one pound of I've mixed
into Is gallons of hot water.
Winter barley is attracting the at
tention of New York farmers, and
it's culture is on the increase.
No poultryman should be without
poultry house lights. Once light is
started, it must be continued reg
ularly.

SECRET OF STAGE
LOOT OF $4,000
REMAINS UNSOLVED
Death of Rancher Ends Last
Chance of Clearing Old
West Mystery.

Colorado Springs.-Another secret
Of the Old West seemed destined to
remain an unsolved mystery with
the death here of Raymond Nc
Laughlin, Lightweight years old, pi-
oneer Colorado rancher.
With Mclaughlin died the last
clue to the purported hiding place
of $4,000 in loot taken in the his
toirc Como (Colo0 stage robbery in
the summer of 1868.
Although the band of IL bandits
was captured and later shot, they
all died without revealing what had
become Of the stolen fortune in gold
and greenbacks.
Mclaughlin was fourteen years
old at the time of the robbery. The
bandits, he said, had visited his
fathers ranch, forced his mother to
cook them a meal and then COM
Wandered his fathers horses, on
which they robbed the stage at
Como.
Believed to Have Kept Secret.
He never would reveal the exact
burying place Of the hidden loot,
and local residents and "old-
timers" always thought that Nc
Laughlin knew more than he was
tellin'" about the treasure.
Legend says the robbers hurriedly
buried it at the foot of a tree be-
fore they were set upon by posse.
The tree was marked by bowie
knife stuck in it's trunk.
The stagecoach had left Fairplay,
Colo, headed for the Ute pass over
the Rocky mountains. At Como,
Colo, IL bandits, armed with re-
volvers, rifles and knives, attacked
the coach, killed the driver and
guard, and seized the money box.
They also robbed the three pas
sengers and ripped open all mail
sacks in search of more money. The
men then bound the passengers and
escaped.

Now we're to have an opera cycle
in pictures. The San Francisco
Grand Opera company has been
selling out at all performances, so
the motion picture companies got an
inspiration and leaped right in.
Metro starts the ball rolling with
MADAME Pompadour, with a Eu-
ropean importation, Meliza Korjus,
starred. Two other studios will fol-
low suit.
Probably the best one of the lot
will be Walt Disney's "Farmyard
Symphony which will be knee
deep in burlesques of operate arias;
it's being released practically at
once.
Tom Browns supposed to break
his neck in "The Duke of West
Point" and had to wear one of those
braces around his neck for eight
hours. eric Won Stroheim wears
one in "Grand Illusion" foreign

the best of the year, Afterward
Browns neck was SO stiff that he
thought he'd never be able to move
it naturally again.
William Powell is going back to
work in January, under a new con-
tract recently signed with Metro.
His first picture will be "The Re-
turn of the Thin Man." with Myrna
10y, of course. That ''Thin Man.
series threatens to become as
lengthy as the Charlie Chan one.
If anyone were to offer a medal
for "The Grand Old Man of Radio"
Rudy Vallee would probably get it.
Not that he's old, but he's done so
much to develop good programs and
has discovered SO much talent that
he deserves the title.
If you heard his tenth anniversary
program you've already checked up
on that. If you didn't, you can prob
ably remember that the list of peo-
pie he's developed as stars of the
air includes a lot of famous folk,
from Alice Faye to Charlie McCar-
thy.
But you may not have known that
he is responsible for the modern
type of guest program. Irene Bor-
doni was his first guest star. In
1922 his program developed into it's
present form. The salary list was
low, and still is far below the sums
paid for some similar programs
which are outdistanced by his in the
popularity ratings.
B
1t takes the isteners-in to make
Tommy Riggs appreciate his tai

is today with his "Betty Lou" voice,

him to praise his very pleasant bari

had been returned there in 1884, and
had been there since until his escape.
The body was to be sent this after

they contacted officials at Dix ENll
