This Little Pig Goes
ToPolice Station and
Now Heads for Pound

That little pig may have gone
to market, but this one went to
the 18th precinct police sta
tion--and was headed today for
destruction at the District pound.
Police found him yesterday in
a stolen car when they arrested
q 1s-year-old youth driving the
machine. The prisoner told
officers the car had struck the pig
near Oxon Hill, Md, and he had
picked 1t up.
Feeling that an l8-pound pig
was out of place around a police
station and knowing nothing else
to do with 1t, police arranged to
send 1t to the pound today.

There was no mention Of British
support for these demands and it was

Hitler.

press Czechoslovakia to yield to the

merely convey them to the Prague

Mr.. Chamberlain apparently gained
support at home by his stand at Codes
berg. He did not, it was believed, re-
turn with any guarantee for a revised
Czechoslovak state or with a basis of
four-power pact to guarantee the
peace of Europe. as he had hoped, but
at least he refused to bow to Hitler's
demands.

Snakes, toads, frogs, nevis,

many other smaller mammals repel
most of us. According to our own
Interpretation they have no rights,
and any interference, imaginary or
otherwise, with our plans or selfish
desires brings on the death war
rant. And our definition of good
and bad among the lower creatures
depends principally on our aversion
to the species. We condemn snakes
because there are some that are
poisonous; there are far more good
snakes than bad ones, yet they all
suffer the same end.

Pit for Droppings Is
Found an Improvement

The newest angle in poultry house
construction, and one that is highly
commemorate, is the use, of drop
pings pits instead of boards, &C.
cording to poultryman.
The use of the pit, sunk or 27s
feet below the floor level makes it
possible to lower the roosts to only
IL or Is inches above the floor. Thus,
the birds have only a short hop
from the roost to the floor or vice
versa, instead of the three-foot jump
required with many of the old roosts.
These long jumps were responsible
for good many injuries to feet and
abdomens, especially with hens of
the heavier breeds.
From the health standpoint, as the
space beneath the roosts is screened
in, the birds are kept farther from
the droppings than where boards
are used. For this reason, too, the
pits need to be cleaned less often
than droppings boards.
The depth of the pit depends on
the location of the building and the
type of soil. Some pits in dry loca-
tions are sunk as much as three feet.

NewUses for Whey

1t used to- be that skim milk was
a by-product without much COM
mercial value. But we were MAX
ing use of 3OO,OOO,OOO pounds of the
dry skim-nilk solids produced in
the United States, and imported an
additional 100000 pounds. DR.. c.
L. Roadhouse of the California Col
lege of Agriculture points out that
we are at present making small use
of the 100000 pounds of whey left
over from the manufacture of
cheese and casein, and suggests that
the dairy industry cash in on this
by-product by drying it with skim
milk or buttermilk, or by making
whey powder separately. Large
California creameries have already
begun to install machinery for dry
ing whey. Experimentally, the yell

an oveal well, some 40 feet wide,
with bronze balustrade about it
and the heads of twin flights of
stairs upon either side. (To give
some idea of their size, each step
was but two inches high, and some
twelve feet long.) The landing itself
was dim, but brilliance rose out
of the well and the sumptuous flights
of stairs ran down into light. So
far as could see, there was nobody
hereabouts, but the sound of voices
and movements came from a low

me across the carpet to a door

WHITEWASH GIVES
GOOD PROTECTION
Coating Is Economical, Has
Disinfectant Qualities.
BY w. A. Foster, Associate Chief in
Rural Architecture. University
of Illinois.-WNU Service.

Properly mixed and applied,
whitewash provides economical pro-
lection to farm buildings. In addi-
ton to having certain disinfectant
qualities, whitewash is especially
useful for the interior of barns or
other outbuildings where it aids in
providing better light.
Whitewash gives best results when
it is applied in clear, dry weather
on surface which has been well
cleaned and dampened so that the
fresh wash will dry gradually.
When applied to bone-dry surface,
whitewash will usually chalk and
rub off easily.
Two formulas for whitewash are:
For new masonry work which has
never had whitewash application,
21s gallons of mason's lime, hydrat-
ed in paper bags; 2 gallons of ce-
ment, Atlas white; 214 pounds Of
salsoda; 2 pounds of salt and 3
pounds of powdered alum. This will
give a pure white. A grayish white
may be had by using regular Port
land cement in place of Atlas.
The materials are mixed dry, and
soft, cold water is added with the
mixture stirred we'll until gallons
of paste is made It is well to stir
the mixture constantly and apply it
at once with a brush or spray.
To assure a perfect bond on an
old wall, it is best to clean off loose
particles of old whitewash coating
with wire brush. The formula for
an old wall is 21a gallons of finishing
lime or mason's lime; 21a gallons
of cement; l pound of salsoda; l
pound of salt and 2 pounds of pow
dered alum. The alum aids in pre-
venting the whitewash from rubbing
off.

Laying Eggs on Floor

When hens continue to lay quite
a number of eggs on the floor of
their laying quarters the first thing
to look for is shortage of nests. If
there is one nest for every four or
five hens, then perhaps the trouble
can be corrected somewhat by
darkening the nests, either by MAX
ing the nests deeper or by hanging
some feed bags about IS inches in
front of them. If the birds still re-
fuse to use the nests, try putting
the nests on the floor until the pull
lets get accustomed to using them.
