Winter Is the Time to
Take Farm
Repairs, Ordering of
Supplies Are Winter Tobs

Farmers may not be certain yet
as to how much Of one or another Of
their crops they will plant. They
may still be calculating the prob
able effect Of a drop in the numbers
Of their cattle or hogs or chickens.
They know what they will be doing
on those long winter days and nights
before the ground can be prepared
for seeding.
Winter on a farm is the time for
making repairs-loose boards in
the farm floor, that ladder rung
that's always uncertain, extra hand
rails where needed, fence jobs.
chicken houses, pig pens. smoke
house. milking equipment, and the
many little things that always need
to be done in the home.

for this returning
is a daily routine thing.
Finally they we're all in-all, that
Is, except one. Operations reported
a Fortress missing. Returning pilots
said it had Jagged behind and lost
altitude just after leaving the tar
get. The last report said the Fortress
couldn't stay in the air more than
FIVE minutes. Hours had passed since
then. So it was gone.
Ten men were in that plane. The
days accomplishments had been
great, but the thought Of 10 lost
friends cast a pail over people.
We had already seen death
that afternoon. For one Of the
returning Fortresses had re-
leased a red fare over the field,
and I had stood with others be-
meath the great plane as they
handed its dead pilot, head
downward, through the escape
hatch onto a stretcher.
The faces Of his crew we're grave,
and nobody talked very loud. One
man clutched a leather cap with
blood on it. The pilots hands were
very white.
Everybody knew the pilot. He was
so young. a couple Of hours ago. The
war came inside US then, and we
felt it deeply.
As we stood on the tower looking
down over this powerful scene,
the day began folding itself up.
Fighter planes. which patrol the
field all day, were coming in. All
the soldiers in the tent camps had
finished supper. That %noiseless peace
that sometimes comes just before
dusk hung over the airdrome. Men
talked in low tones about the dead
pilot and the lost Fortress.
We thought we would wait a few
minutes more to see if the Germans
were coming tonight.
MISSING FORTRESS RETURNS
And then an electric thing hap
pened.
Far off in the dusk a red flare
shot into the sky. 1t made an arc
against the dark background Of
the mountains and fell to the earth.
1t couldn't be anything else. 1t had
to be. The 10 dead men were COM
ing home!
where's the flare gun? Gimme
a green fare!" yelled an officer.
He ran to the edge Of the tower,
shouted Look out below!" and fired
a green rocket into the air.
Then we saw the plane-just
a tiny black speck. It seemed
almost on the ground, it was so
low, and in the first glance we
could sense that it was barely
moving. barely staying in the
air. Crippled and alone, two
hours behind all the rest, it was
dragging itself home.
I am a layman, and no longer of
the fraternity that flies, but l can
feel. And at that moment I felt
something close to human love for
that faithful battered machine, that
far dark speck struggling toward
US with such pathetic slowness.
All Of US stood tense, hardly re-
Numbering anyone else was there.
With our nervous systems we
seemed to pull the plane toward us.
l suspect a photograph would have
shown us all leaning slightly to the
left.
Not one of us thought the plane
would ever make the field, but on it
came-so slowly that it was cruel to
watch.

tuberculosis Culls

Many older hens are carriers Of
tuberculosis, and if they are housed
in winter with the pullets they can
spread the disease to the younger
stock, DR.. P. C. Neuzil of the Amer
lean Veterinary Medical association
points out in recommending that
old hens be culled out of the flock.
In some areas so per cent of the
poultry hocks are affected by this
disease and tests show that older
birds are the principal carriers.

Pig Weaving Rules

Pigs should be weaned at about
eight weeks of age to allow for re-
breeding Of sow. The sow's feed
should be reduced a few days before
weaving time to prevent udder trou-
ole. As the milk flow will continue,
he practice Of weaving a few pigs
1t a time is not advisable as the
Idders not used will become caked
md hard. When the udder becomes
lard and caked, the pigs may be

All Elements Against Them

The navigator came into the cock

the plane home. Never for a second
could they feel any real assurance
of making it. They were practically

To top of their misery, they had a

At last the navigator said they
were only 40 miles from home. but
those 40 miles passed as though they
were driving a horse and buggy.
