Commander Lloyd Kielhorn OF
the-H S.~CoaSt Guard stationed

Weighed "a After Entrails

Nemesis Scales, Affida-
Wits Say

What is believed TO be the
worlds record for kingfish is re-
ported by Roy E. McEwen of La
Grange. Illinois. who claims an
"a pound kingfish caught on rod
and reel a mile away from Fort
Jefferson 10 a. m. Tuesday. Pres
emf worlds record is held by L.
B. Harrison. a 1874 FOUNDER
caught off Bimini.
Mr.. McEwen subStantiateS his
statement with affidavitS signed
by Ben ]. Fisher, his fishing COM
panion of Utica, N. Y. and SUIT
ton Lines employees A. T. John
son and William Gray who were
manning the boat from which the
fish was caught. The fish was
weighed on the scales of the u. S.
Coast Guard Gutter Nemesis,
Mr.. McEwen said, after its en-
trails had been removed and it
had been placed on ice. Several
photos will be developed and
mailed The Citizen and Key West
Chamber of Commerce, Mr.. Nc
Even said.
The fish, according to the af-
fidavits, was 5812 inches in
length and nae a girth of % So
inches. 1t was caught on a
Pfleuger Templar reel with a
light Thomas Wilson rod. Mr..
McEwen said he had lost his
smaller high test line and had
substituted "a thread heavy cot
ton line. This facilitated the
catch which was made in an
hour. On one of the fish's runs
it took out all the line on the
reel, about 260 feet before it was
stopped. =
When Mr.. McEwen hooked the
fish he turned to his companions
and asked that they stop the boat
as he felt he had snagged the bot
tom. Even after the fish had
been brought into the small skiff
Mr. McEwen said he did not
know it was a record fish. He
will stop at Miami to register the
fish with Fri Roman, interna-
tional sport fishing authority.

Suggest Caustic Potash
To Remove Cow Horns

In the wild state, COWS may have
needed their horns for defense, but
under modern conditions they are of
no practical value except from the
standpoint of beauty, say Washing
ton State college dairymen, who
recommend that horns be removed
from calves at an early age.
Horns may be removed with caus-
tic when the calf is about a week
old. Caustic potash in sticks may
be used for this purpose. Tie the
animal securely then clip an area
over and around the horn "button"
about the size of half dollar. Cow
err this area with vaseline to prevent
the caustic from burning beyond
the horn area.
Wrap one end of the caustic in
paper to prevent burning the fin
gers of the operator. Place the stick
of caustic over the center of the
horn button and rub with a circular
motion until the caustic has gone
through the skin and into the center
of the horn button. Some practice
is necessary to achieve the best re-
suits.
Do not turn the calf out in the rain
for a day or two and do not allow
other calves to lick the treated horn
buttons.

Phalaropes, Shore Birds,
Differ From Other Types

Phalaropes, which are among the
most delightful of Canadian shore
birds, have some unusual charac-
teristics. First they differ from
most other shore birds in being ex-
pert swimmers. Their tarsi, some
times enormously called the lower
leg joints, are compressed; their
toes are bordered. with web-lobes;;
and these features coupled with the
fact that the under plumage is
heavy as in the gulls, and the under
down is much like that of a duck,
make the phalaropes very well
adapted to life on the water.
The second unusual feature about
phalaropes is their home life. The
female phalarope takes the initiative
in counting rites, and makes the
first advance toward the shy and
modestly colored prospective mate.
The females are larger, handsomer,
and wear brighter plumage than
the males. After Mrs. Phalarope
lays her eggs, madam betakes her
self to pursue her favorite pastimes,
more than often to join other ladies
of leisure of her own kind in small
sociable 7locks, while the obedient
and faithful Mr.. Phalarope incu-
bates the eggs and shoulders prac-
tically all of the cares and worries
of the household
Three species of phalaropes oc-
cur in Canada, the Red, the North
ern, and Wilson's phalaropes. The
first two mentioned nest in the Arc
tic and far northern regions, but
may be looked for particularly on
both coasts and on the prairies dur
ing migration.
Phalaropes are in no way harm
full, and while they are as a whole
probably not of, any very great eco
nomic Importance they do consume
insects.

Opportunities Offered
In Homemade Equipment

Homemade equipment is only for
persons who have ideas of their
own. "A farmer usually sees a
neighbours wagon, inspects it, and
goes home to build one for himself,
or lets his son do it.
Also, say engineers at the New
York State College of Agriculture,
rubber-tired tractors have con-
WINGED farmers of the practicability
of rubber-mounted equipment.
In their opinion, start toward
bringing all the equipment up-to-
date is the farm wagon which can
be made easily and will cost about
$35, without box or rack. Auto run
ming gear, preferably with 600-16
tires, lends itself to easy tire re-
placement when the wagon is heavi-
ly loaded.
The advantages of tires are lost, it
is said, with more than Is pounds
pressure in them. Used tires are
satisfactory if the wagon is used
on the farm and not behind truck
or car on the highway. If used on
the road as a trailer, New York
state law requires that it be
equipped with brakes, lights, and a
license
Ensilage carts that push easily
over litter and other distractions
may be made at cost of from $40
to $25 for material and labor, ac-
cording to the engineers. A sturdy
handy cart for carrying milk cans
may be made from old auto wheels,
he says.

SUGGESTS ELECTRIC
FARM WATERWORKS
North Carolina System Costs
About $500.
BY RUSSELL BROADDUS


A water system can be installed
in the farm home for as little as
$500 with the advent of rural cleo
trifcation throughout the United
States.
New opportunities for installing
labor and time-saving equipment
are offered farm people at a price
they can afford to pay, the North
Carolina State college has found.
The first essential in water sys-
tenn is good, clean, wholesome
supply in quantity sufficient for the
farm and home needs. A well should
be located at least so feet from any
possible source of contamination.
!. To keep water supply clean and
free from harmful bacteria, the well
should have rock masonry, brick
or terra Gotta walls from bottom to
top. In many cases driven or bored
wells with iron castings are quite
satisfactory. All wells should have
tight, properly-made concrete plat
forms to keep out surface water.
An electric water system will pro-
vide LOCO gallons of water per hour
for three cents when the electric
rate is six cents a kilowatt hour. In
many cases the small amount of
electric current used to pump water
will not increase the monthly bill
above the minimum charge.
The college recommends that the
farm family first install an outlet
to the kitchen sink and another
to the barn for watering live stock.
He says this can be done for approx
imately $100. The system can be en-
larged as finances permit.
The average farm laborer earns
from 20 to 80 cents an hour for his
work. Why then should the farm
er's family work carrying water at
the rate of .one-half cent per hour?

Turning Eggs

Some authorities assert that when
eggs are Matched in an incubator
they should be turned three or more
times a day from the third to the
eighteenth day. Be sure the hands
are clean and free from oil or grease
when the eggs are turned. If
Matched under a hen, this handling
is unnecessary as the hen will take

ever, all Matching eggs should be
