Village 'Flopped' at First

In Greenfield Village, at Dear
born, Mich, the heart OF his indus
trial empire, and in the vast mu-
scum that adjoins and compliments
the village, Henry Ford has gath
cred the largest, finest and most di-
verse collection of Americana ex-
tant. Conceived by Mr.. Ford many
years ago as an educational prof.
ect, the Edison institute (named for
his great friend, Thomas A. Edi-
SOM, which comprises both mu-
scum and historic village was
opened to the public in June, 1893.
Fewer than 400 persons visited it on
the opening day; fewer than $4,000
the first month. BY the summer of
1885 its fame had SO spread-by
word of mouth and the increasingly
voluminous books and articles about

rians and special writers for every
type of professionalism 1000 Wis
itors IN day and 10000 in a month
were not unusual attendance figures.
More than 350,500 saw it that year.

Good Care and Feeding
ThWarts Shipping Fever

Greater protection during ship
ment and careful management inn
mediately after live stock arrives on
the farm will tighten losses from
shipping fever, says Dr.. w. L. Boyd,
Missouri university farm, veterinar-
ian.
En- route to the farm, either by
truck or train, live stock is subject
to many hazards-irregular feeding
and watering. and bad weather
among them. This applies especial
~ to young stock, which may suffer
serious loss in vitality. Regular
feeding and watering plus protec-
ton against the weather will make
the stock less likely to contact the
fever.
Care and feeding of the animals
once they are on the farm is the
second important ounce of pre-
vention." Feed them balanced
ration, and don't attempt to get
them on full feed too soon, cautions
Doctor Boyd.
The use of vaccines and serurns
for the prevention and cure OF ship
ping fever should be attempted only
BY trained veterinarians. To expect
favorable results from vaccines,
they should be administered soon
after the animals arrive.

South Dak0ta's Black Hills

Many residents of the Black Hills
cities think the name is lacking in
distinction, and would change it if
they could, to strengthen South Da-
kota's appeal to the tourists.
However, the name BLACK Hills
has been identified with the range
westward of the city since before
the coming of the white man. The
Sioux called it ''Pa-ha-sa-pa,' which
means Black Hills in their tongue.
The blackness of the Black Hills
consists in the discoloration of the
rock outcropping (the first land to
emerge on this continent) and the
darkness of the surrounding foli-
age, so that the hills appear quite
black from a distance. Even at
closer inspection, many of the can
yon walls look like rock from CHM
neys that have seen the smokes of
many fires.

Golden Dolphins Guard
Japanese Feudal Castle

Two golden dolphins, together
worth more than million dollars in
bullion alone, adorn the great feudaI
castle that watches over Nagoya,
japanese city of modern hustle and
ancient charm. One of the talisman-
&c fishes stands on the topmost roof
of the castle and throws its spar.
king beams for miles around, so
that tourists passing Nagoya even
by railway cannot miss the sight.
The castle. built in Japan's feud-
al days for defense and war, was
adorned with the golden dolphins by
one Kato Kiyomasa, one of the ma
tons historic heroes, because of
their legendary virtue in warding
off fires. And while one or two
mishaps have happened to the dol
phins themselves, the castle has re-
manned unframed by fire or war.
American visitors to Nagoya visit
the castle first. To walk on the
elean-sWept. spacious gravel paths
between the outer and the inner
moats is an inspiration; it conjures
up a charmed sphere of romance
and heroism. The "donjon,'' soar
ing high, fresh, and majestic in it's
sweeping outline, stands just as it
did three centuries ago, and in it's
grand, mysterious way evokes the
stored past.

Small City Families
Likely to Economic by
Not Consulting Doctor

Observation-Disclosures living
in small midwestern cities are
more likely to economic by not
seeing the dentist, the oculist-or
even the doctor-than by not buying
supplies for the family medicine
chest, when funds run low"
This is the conclusion of a survey
of medical expenditures made UNI
der the direction of DR.. Louise Stan
ley, chief of the bureau of home
economics of the department of ag-
riculture.
The survey was made OF 3,118
native white non-relief families liv-
ing in the following representative
cities: Lincoln, ILL.,; Boone, Iowa !;
Columbia and Moberly, Mo-; Mount
Vernon and New Philadelphia, Ohio;
and Beaver Dam, Wis.
Families with low incomes con-
suit doctors more often than dem
lists and almost never see oculists.
Most of them, however, reported
spending some money for medicines
and drugs during a l2-month period
of 1935-l936. The amounts spent
for medicine ranged from Sc to S21
per family per year at the differ
ent income levels.
Not until the family income
reached the $500 per year level did
the reports show as many as half
the families consulting a physician.

Natural gas IN general is not con-

A Tale About Cats

Everyone has heard the story of
the two Kilkenny cats who fought
until there was nothing left but their
tails. The background of the story
is that during the 1903 rebellion in
Ireland, soldiers amused themselves
by tying cats by the tails and toss
ing them over a clothesline. The
commandment threatened punishment
to any caught enjoying this sport"
Upon the approach of guard, one
night, soldier took his sword and
freed the cats by slashing through
their tails. When the guard arrived,
he was told the two bleeding tails
were al that was left Of pair of
fighting Kilkenny cats.

Several Important Factors
Must Be Considered.

SO per cent or better should con-
sumo at least Is pounds of feed per
100 birds daily at this season of the
year.
Size of bird, type of house, heat
ed or non-heated, rate of production
and use of lights are all factors
which must be taken into considera-
ton when figuring feed intake. In
less birds eat large quantities of
feed they cannot maintain body
weight and produce heavily.
Some poultrymen make a practice
of feeding their birds all the scratch
feed that they will eat at night and
about half that amount in the MORN
ing. Fresh mash is usually fed each
day. Increased feed intake can usu-
ally be obtained by stirring the
mash In the feeders with the hand
each time trip is made through
the building. The use of fleshing
mash or fieshing pellets at noon each
day will also increase total feed con-
sumption.
Some poultrymenl make a prac-
tice of dabbing paint on the plumage
of few birds so they can be readily
identified. These birds are then
weighed at frequent intervals so as
to keep a check on the weight of
the flock.

Houses Need Litter

Litter serves a triple purpose in
the laying house. 1t serves to keep
the floor warm, it helps to keep the
house dry, and it provides mate
rial in which the birds can scratch.
Il is therefore necessary to have
the floor Uttered for the pullets. The
most satisfactory litter is highly abb
sorbtive and will not pack. Various
materials are used such as straw,
peat, and oat hulls. These materials
are placed on the floor of the poul-
try house to a depth of about 2
inches, when straw is used it
should be applied to a depth of
to inches.
