OLD ATLANTIC David had been talking to the Gulf Stream lady over by tke old Atlantic Ocean. The Gulf Stream had been talking to“ the Atlantic and the Atlantic was talking, too. The Gulf Stream knew bow to take a trip right through a part of the ocean, keeping her own path quite nice and warm. As Atlantic said: “You know my better nature and you will have your way right through IL But» Tm the ocean, helgh-ho. And Fm know: I can be calm and I can b'e quiet, .

'‘Thanks, Madam Gulf Stream," said David. "Really, Atlantic. I don’t know how I came over here. Maybe you brought me when I didn’t know it” “That’s well nigh to being an insult," said Atlantic. “I am pretty apt to let people know when they’re tray,eling on me.

I’m [rough as I was just saying to Gulf Stream. I was singing to her my song y about it when you came along." . “You saffg me a song before,” said Davldj “Didn't think’much of it. I gather,” said Atlantic, “Yes.” he added, as Eastern; Hemisphere looked at him with a bit of a scowl, “it's perfectly correct for me to say 1 gather. Don’t I gather people Into my swimming parts around beaches, and don’t I gather ships, to go over me—l allow so much trading to go on—more than any of 'em. And gather is a nice word and means, too, that I think, judge, or fancy. “I’ve heard all those words when I've been keeping quiet and listening to Intellectual conversations that have taken place between ocean passengers. I don’t hear such a lot of Intellectual conversation, a little bit. a tittle bit.” f “1 liked your song all right," said Dayid. “I couldn't have made a better one—though that’s not saying much. Do sing the one you were going to sing when I came along.” David thought to himself that it really was nice that such a huge creature as an ocean could sing such fool- : ish songs. He didn't like people who were always perfect “Well, I was singing It to Gulf Stream and If she'll pardon me she'll have to hear It again.” “Always had a warm, kind nature, Atlantic.” Gulf Stream said In her deep, low voice.

WB/LTBY PREVENTING ROUP IN COLD WEATHER Poultry Require Feeds With Vitamine A Content. What's sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander, and some of the tlrings which are healthful in the diet of the family, are equally so in the diet of the poultry flock. Carrots, codliver oil, and green vegetables belong on tlie table of the flock as much as on that of the family, according to I*. B. Zumbro, extension specialist for tlie Ohio State university poultry husbandry department. “These foods carry vitamine A. a preventative of nutritional roup, disease which often strikes flocks- when they are housed during the winter and unable to obtain green feed on the grange," says Zumbro. Symptoms of nutritional roup include nasal discharges and swelling of the face, which are characteristic of ordinary rour*. but the nutritional roup also causes lesions in the eyes and mouth. Post-mortem examination usually shows tlie kidneys to be very pale, and marked with a network of white lines, and a deposit of white material on the surfaces of the liver and heart. Comeplete discussion of the treatment of nutritional roup and other diseases. as weir as of problems of incubation. brooding, feeding, and management, are included in a correspondence course given by the poultry,husbandry department of the university. Feeding Poultry Flock for Profit During Year (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Does your poultry flock return a good profit over the cost of feed during the year? It has been found that when laying hens are fed ail the grain they will consume leghorns and similar breeds eat from 70 to 80 pounds of grain a year. ' Breeds like the Plymouth Rock,, .Rhode Island Red, a!id Wyandotte eat from 80- to !*.'> pounds. All breeds eat. from two to tTiree pounds of oyster shells and about one pound of grit :i> year. The average farm ben lays less than 60 eggs a year, principally from March to June, the season of lowest prices. Yearly profits in eggs depend large'ly on production in* fall and winter, according to tlie United States Department of Agriculture. Rations for laying stock should include scratch grains, mashes, meat feed, green* feed, mineral feed, grit, and drink. Tlie scratch ration should be scattered through the litter tn the poultry house so that the liens will get plenty of exercise. Crushed Oyster Shells Are Valuable for Hens New feeders of crushed oyster shell report an averagZ of 30 extra eggs a year from each I lien. According to other experienceiKnoultryinen this is a modest estimate. Sfrmy who trapnest t-heir hens and keep an accurate record of production find that the average is higher. If e£gs are figured at three cents each that means IK) cents more in actual cash from each hen. As .the bird will eat only -about three cents’ worth of oyster shell during the year, the net profit is 87 cents. Multiply that by the number of hens in your flock and you’ll have a tidy sum. People wonder why doing such a little thing mtik.es so big a difference. Tlie answer is simple. It’s plain chemistry. Turkeys Easily Picked if Killed in Right Way For dry picking, the turkeys are usually hung by their legs at a convenient height for killing. The jugular vein is cut by the single stroke of a sharp knife and the point of the knife is then pushed through the roof of the mouth into the brain. The last operation is known as “sticking” and when properly dbne paralyzes the bird and loosens the feathers so that they come out easily. Turkey feathers can be removed more easily than can ehicken. feathers, the proper bleeding and sticking being the most difficult part of the operation. *. . Contented Birds Contented, unworried pullets will’ get iqto production early and will tend to keep up their production. When pullets are first brought in from the range, they have a tendency to be .rather excitable until they Itecome ac customed to their new surroundings When approaching a pen. whistle or call softly dr knock on the door, so as to warn the birds of your approach. This practice may help to get several additional eggs every day from the pullet flock. / Ability to Lay The ability to lay is inherited and thus depends more on breeding than on feeding; but pullets should be well developed in body before they start to lay. If the pullets seem to mature too rapidly do not feed them wholly on grain to slow up their inclination to lay; anything that checks laying is also apt to stunt permanently the growth of the birds. Feed a mash along with scratch grain, as It is more complete In ’protein minerals and vitamins. ■ —— ■ a Starting to Lay When pullets first start to lay, the eggs are small. As the ovaries and oviducts pullets develop further? the size the eggs gradually increases, providing the birds are fed well, until a full-sized egg is laid. This usually takes from six to eight jXeeks. If the birds are not fed well, a Monger time Is required for the eggs to become larger, and they may never get to be’the size of a marketable egg. that is, an egg that jrill .bring a good orfce.
COW REGISTERED BY PHOTOGRAPHS Camera Useful in Studying Growth of Dairy Animals. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The importance of a camera on livestock farms is emphasized by the recent decision of two dairy breed associations to accept, photographs in lieu of the color sketches of animals i intended for registration. The breeds ] concerned are Ayrshire and Holstein- i Friesian. | Dairy specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture anticipate increased interest in animal photography as a result of this decision, and call attention to Depart- j ment Circular 371-C, which discusses the use of the camera in studying the i growth and development of dairy anl- i mals. This circular gives many prac- ' tical suggestions, and may be obtained ' by writing the Department of Agri- ; culture at Washington. Photographs have been used by research workers In the Bureau of Dairy Industry for a number of years, and it has been found that they furnish a prolific source of Information which could hardly be secured by any other I method of record keeping. These specialists are hopeful that the new ruling of the breed associations will stimulate a much wider use of the camera on dairy farms throughout the | country. Handle Milk Promptly .- , During Winter Season There Is fully as much need for the prompt handling of milk during ; the midwinter as there is in midsummer. In warm weather the aver 4 age milker will hasten to cool fresh milk simply for the reason that “keeping cool” is an objective at this time of tlie year that is always in the background of his thoughts. In winter, I however.' it is the nature of things | to “cool off." Therefore, why hurry j the cans to the cooling vat? 4 It is in midwinter, periiaps more than in midsummer, that milk is apt ! to possess an off-tlavor unless care is , exercised in handling it. Tlie heavy i feeding incident to midwniter —the liberal use of legume hays, concen- j trates,'and.so on, imparts flavors ail j their own to milk during these months , which one may only hope to minimize : by cooling it ms promptly as possible. J In winter also the milking stable is tightly closed. The accumulation ' of manure in the gutters is naturally [ heavier, due to the fact that cows | spend more time in their stanchions ■ than during the other seasons. So the chances of milk absorbing off-flavors are increased. < Production of Milk and , Profits Vary Directly “Milk production and profits vary al- j most directly according to the amount of grain fed.” says G. W. Tailby. Jr., of the New York College of Agriculture. A group of cows which consumed S2O worth of grain produced an I average of 5,261 pounds of milk and , had a over feed cost of 891. Another group which was fed an av- j erage of SSO worth of grain per year averaged 7,771 pounds of milk and had t a return over feed cost of sll9. Third - and fourth groups of cows producing > averages of 10,254 and 11,937 pounds of milk were fed SSS and $99 worth | of grain per cow per year. Net re* turns from these groups were $153 and i $194 per. cow. [ In other words, (the more grain the more milk, .'provided, of course, that 1 the cows have the inherent ability to convert the feed into milk. Picking Dairy Bull on Records of Ancestors In selecting a dairy bull on 1 Jthe ( basis of the records of his ancestors l consideration should be given to the j conditions under which the records were made, says the United States Department of Agriculture. An In- I vestlgatioh by the bureau ot dairy in- I dustry at Beltsville, Md., showed that when cows were njilked and fed three times a day instead of ■ twice, confined in box stalls instead of In stanchions.' fefl enough to make them fat Instead of keening them In ordinary flesh, and bred to freshen at intervals j of 15 months Instead of 12, the production was increased 50 per cent. A herd improvement association record of 40G pounds of butterfat, if made under ordinary farm conditions, the bureau says, is equal to an advanced registry or register of merit record of 600 pounds. Dairy Herd Records The first official dairy herd production records on ttie Hettinger (North Dakota) substation herd were recently received from the HolsteinFriesian advanced registry office. The average production for the 15 cows was 11,393 lbs. milk and 419.4 lbs. butterfaL Eight young cows in their firgt lactation were included, and their average production was 424 lbs. butterfat. The- highest individual record was 16.531 lbs. milk and 52325 lbs’. butterfaL 5 Colostrum for Calf The new born calf should rejnaln i with its dam at least 24 hours/ The first milk or colostrum bas certißn desirable properties for, starting thexealf successfully. After removal from the dam the calf should be fed three times daily where possible, never more than 8 to 10 pounds daily the first week for calves of the larger breeds and 6 to 8 pounds for the smaller. It is desirable that this milk be from its own dam or from another cow recently fresh Dor the first week or so.
For SOLI> M We all catch colds and they can make us miserable; but yours needn’t last long if you will do this: Take two or three tablets of Bayer Aspirin just as soon as possible after a cold starts. Stay in the house if you can —keep warm. Repeat with another tablet or two of Bayer Aspirin every three or four hours, if those symptoms of cold persist. Take a good laxative when you retire, and keep bowels open. If throat is sore, dissolve three' tablets in a quarter-glassful of water . and gargle. This soothes inflammation and reduces infection. There is nothing like Rayer Aspirin for a - cold, or sore throat. And it relieves aches and pains almost instantly. The genuine tablets, marked Bayer, are absolutely'harmless to the heart.
