Prices of Broilers Highest in Spring The demand for broilers on the Indiana markets does not open until April, when the prices are highest. The prices vary considerably with the season of/ the year, the different markets, and the size of the birds. The season of the year is the most important factor, due chiefly to the supply and demand. ‘ The early broilers first come on market during April, and the receipts increase steadily until about July. The prices usually decrease as the supply increases, a survey recently made by H. H. Kaufman of the Purdue University Poultry department shows. Until about the middle of May the market receipts are small enough to keep the prices from fluctuating. After the break in price in May. the prices decrease steadily until about the middle or latter part of July. After July there is little variation until the next season's supply comes on the market. Broilers offered for sale during the fall and winter are usually cold storage birds. The Purdue Poultry Department has found the average monthly Indianapolis market prices from 1915 to 1922 inclusive to be as follows: ApriMlc, May-38c, June-32c, July-27c, and August-24c. This variation of prices is similar to the fluctuations on the New York, Philadelphia. Cleveland. Chicago or other large markets. The eastern markets are about 15 percent higher than the Indianapolis quotations. ~ Early in the season the demand is for the smaller broilers, weighing about a pound and a quarter. As the season advances, there is a demand for birds weighing up to two pounds. Leghorns and other small sized birds should not be allowed to weigh over one and three fourths pounds for best quality broilers.

become heavier, they develop large combs and wattles, and become staggy. To obtain the highest price for broilers, it is necessary to get them on the early market tc avoid the over stocked conditions. Thus, early hatching is necessary, since it takes from ten to fourteen weeks to grow' r broiler. Usually the eastern markets pay the higher price but the local Indiana markets can give better service. By sell ing locally or within short shipping distances the transportatior losses due to express charges shrinkage, dead birds and othei shipping difficulties are greatly reduced. Colonies Need More Food Now Just now’ there is considerable need for attention to the matter of food supply in the beecolonies. The mild, open winter has caused the bees to be more active than usual and since thej consume food in direct ratio tc their activities many colonies in Indiana, which under norma) conditions w’ould have stores at this period, are now much in need of food. If» these colonies are not given immediate attention -they will not be listed in the next census report, said Prof W. A. Price of the entomology department of Purdue universityin a recent radio lecture broadcasted from W. B. A. A. Purdue Station. Disease free honey should be given to those colonies needing food. If honey is not to be had then a sugar or syrup will be fl good substitute. It should be made by heating in a double boiler, 2 parts granulated sugar and one part water. To each 18 or 20 pounds of sugar used add one teaspoon full of tartaric acid to prevent granulation. The feeding can be done satisfactorily byusing a 5 or 10 pound friction top pail having about 40 holes in the lid made with a six pennynail. Put the syrup in the can. place on the lid and invert the pail on the frames where the bees are located. Drops of syrup will appear at each of the holes in the lid and there remain suspended until removed by the bees. As fast as the droplets are removed others appear and this process continues until the pail is empty. The brood rearing period is now here and much food is required to feed the young bees. If there is not a good supply of stores in the colony at this time the brood will starve as the flora at this time is not sufficient to supply the honey needs of the colony. Gold Medal Sheep Club In 15 Counties Sheep breeders in 15 Indiana counties are entered in the Hoosier Gold Medal Sheep Club which was started this year by the Agricultural Extension Department of Purdue University and the Indiana Livestock Breeders’ Association to improve the sheep business of Indiana. The entries represent counties situated in all sections of the state. Noble county leads with the greatest number of contestants which is nine. Sullivan is second with seven and Benton third with five flocks entered. "Good shepherding tells in productive sheep husbandry’. Sheep growers who have entered in the Gold Medal Sheep Club will do their best to demonstrate good shepherding," said Claude Harper, Purdue sheep specialist, in charge of the sheep work. "The art of sheep raising in England and Scotland is more thoroughly and generally understood than in America. No class of livestock men in any place in Hie world exhibit the patience, sympathy, skill, or mastery of the ‘shepherding' business as those tending flocks in the British Isles. It has accounted for their world's supremacy in producing high class sheep for breeding Thus in 1923, Indiana will have sheep breeders in the following counties demonstrating some of the fine arts of the business, to the neighbors in their respective communities: Noble, Elkhart, DeKalb, Sullivan, Benton, Tipoecanoe, Montgomery, Hendricks, Morgan. Hancock, Wayne, Franklin. Lawrence, Jefferson, and Switzerland. Members fit the chib who meet

all requirements outlined by the Indiana Livestock Breeders’ Association will be awarded Gold Medals for their efforts. Former Club Member Starts Dorset Laanb Club Believing that a good thing should be passed on, James Kellerman, of Tippecanoe County, a young Dorset sheep breeder who became interested in sheep through the sheep club, started by the county agent a few years ago has distributed registered Dorset lambs in his county with the idea of breeding more pure bred Dorset flocks in the county. Twelve lambs have already been distributed to three boys and six more applications are on file.. It is understood that the beys would have the use of the good service rams in the Kellerman flock and this should mean the development of a strong Dorset lamb -lub in that community. This is oossibly the first Dorset laml club in the United States. lurora Fanners’ Short Course The Aurora Farmers’ Short Course which was given by Purdue University workers in February was a real success judging from recent reports. There was a total of 8493 persons, which included 2703 different persons, and was the largest Short Course ever held in the state up to this time. The success of this affair was due to the excellent cooperation on the part of the local neople. The Extension worker from Purdue gave excellent satis faction on the various subjects handled, these being adapted tc local conditions and timely in every way. It is difficult tx measure the results of such affairs, but in going through the country, one can learn that the people were greatly benefitted because there is evidence that the people are practising a great number of things that the) learned during the Short Course. The poultry people have been awakened to their needs and arc calling for a large number of bulletins and other information. The soybean fever has spreac over the entire territory to sucl an extent that the farmers arc having trouble in securing seed. The dairymen are calling for information on balanced rations milk sheets, etc. Farmers arc also asking for farm record books and hog and beef cattle farmers are asking for bulletins and othei information along their respective lines. The women are ask ing for home record books, bulletins on various Home Economic subjects, and have taken increased interest in the Home project work to be put on in the county and also girls’ club work. There is a general expression that the Farmers’ Short Course was of great value to the entire* community. Good <Seed Bed Now Means Fewer Weeds Planting time is here and with it comes the best opportunity oi the year for destroying weeds. Weed seeds are now sprouting and it is easier to destroy a thou sand young weeds now than a single husky, seedbearing weeu later. "The wise farmer will keep the weed problem uppermost in mind during the early spring days, even though the weeds arc far less conspicuous now than they will be later,” said A A. Hansen, of the Purdue University Agricultural Extension Department. "Killing young weeds means first of all the thorough preparation of the seed bed. Each harrowing stirs the soil, causes the weed seeds to germin- ( Agricultural News—3) ........ ate and the next harrowing destroys thousands of young and ambitious weedlings. I have seen seed beds so thoroughly cleansed of weeds that the crop was almost weed free and needed ittle attention thereafter to hold 'he weeds down. A single harrowing when the weeds are zoung will frequently kill as many weeds as several cultivations later.” Land for late seeded clover is frequently harrowed before and after seeding. This practice is iot only helpful to obtaining a catch of clover, but the second harrowing destroys hosts of weed seedlings provided the second harrowing does not follow the first too closely. - - .

VIOLIN WIZARD HEADS MUSICAL TRIO l Edward Stalling*, With Southern Musical Co., I* One of Lyceum'* Best Violinist*. IJ ■ _ r ?- r ~ ~ - ; —— EDWARD STALLINGS. Edward Stallings, master of the violin, is bringing the Southern Musical Company, in a special high class concert and entertainment program, as one of the leading numbers on the local Lyceum course. In Mr. Stallings’ hands the violin laughs and sobs and sings. He’ll thrill you the moment he touches bow to string. With exquisite tone and brilliant technique he plays divinely the classic gems and the fine old tunes of long ago. During the program he asks the audience to call for their favorite selections, and he plays them. It seems almost Impossible to call for a selection he cannot play. In the last five years he has only been “stuck” twice. Try him. This feature always makes a tremendous hit.

OLD NAMES STILL POPULAR Parents Retain Partiality for Favorltea That Have Done Duty for Many Centuries. A somewhat interesting census of Christian names has been taken tn the public schools of Stratford. And it is found that old and simple ones continue to be favorites. Those which are represented by more than fifty pupils include: John, 164; Margaret, 114; William, 115; George, 97; Mary. 93; Dorothy, 74; James, 87; Helen, 58, and Fred, 55. Gladys is the first interloper to appear in the list, with a score of 50. With all the names tn the world at their disposal, stage names, names out of novels, and made-to-order names, which they or others might invent, parents go on, in the same old way, calling their offspring John and William and Margaret, and hoping In vain that they will not be nicknamed Jack or Bill or Maggie. Occasionally a name is figured out which is warranted to defy corruption into any of the familiar variants. But its possessor probably blossoms forth as Fatty or Snooty, or in some other guise quite foreign to the carefully selected choice of the fond parents. Sometimes they telephone their favorite newspaper and deplore the fact that they cannot find a suitable name. Nothing is quite as different us their child. And wUI the newspaper please suggest But the wise newspaper thereupon professes utter Inability to find an appellation distinctive enough and noble enough for the purpose. The parents sigh. And In all likelihood another is added to the long list of Johns and Margarets.—Toronto Star. TASK BEYOND HER CAPACITY Sustained Interest in Work Too Much to Expect From Feeble-Minded Inmate of Hospital. In an eastern hospital for the insane it is a fixed policy of the institution to keep certain of the inmates busy at small tasks; work has been found to have a soothing effect One Inmate —a woman—elected to make braided rugs. Her work was excellent; she took a genuine interest in her occupation. There has been found only one flaw in the scheme, as one person discovered who tried to buy rugs as large I as 7 by 5; the hospital would not unI dertake such a contract The reason i was that the woman was not to be depended upon to finish such a large rug. A small rug she could finish In a day or two without any departure from form or pattern, but as often as I she was given a large rug to do there ■ would come a day before the completion of the task when she would be | less calm and composed than was desirable. The result would be a startling patch of color or eccentricity in shape. The hospital authorities have finally discovered the margin of safety and keep the woman worker well within IL Tribute to the Candle. A clever writer pays tribute to the candle in the following: “All down the years it has trailed its lovely light. It has burned before altars in old cathedrals, illumined banquet balls in old palaces, and has ever a niche in the heart of man. “In England the candles waited in stately rows on hall tables for gallants to hand the ladies at retiring time to light them upstairs, and it is said that Washington observed this quaint custom at Mount Vernon, lighting his guests to their bedroom door. “Candle-lighting time in New England breathes the fragrance of bayberries and brings back visions of colonial halls and kitchens and demure maidens in cap and kerchief. The fame ot many a beauty of the past might not have lived had It not shone by candle; light which shows woman at her loveUesL” - Mirror Not New; Looking Glass It. i In Greece and in Rome wealthy peo- . pie adorned the walls of their houses I with polished, shining plates of copper, | gold or silver. The pieces were square, j provided with a nicely caned frame | and were polished afresh by slaves | every day so that their masters and I mistresses might look at themselves I in the metal mirrors. i Up to the Fifteenth century Europe i did not know the glass mirrors. These were first made In Venice and acquired an enormous fame which they have held to the present time. It seems as though no other city is able to rival Venice in ths manufacture of mirrors. Namss. A writer has just issued a list of girls’ names and what they stand for In most people's minds. Lucy, heosays, suggests to most people a girl who is tender and clinging. Margaret and Elisabeth carry a cross, but bear it with patience and courage. Olive Is successful and hard. Susan and Sally are bewitching. Ethel has no imagination. Madge has a brilliant wit But for a truly womanly woman, says the writer, choose Anne.—Exchange.

SUFFERING OF HIGH ORDER Colored Man's Dream Horrible Enough to Bring Tears to the Eyes of the Most Callous. Some passengers, waiting at a railway station for a belated train, were I amused at the sight of a negro, em- t ployed on the freight platform, who had fallen asleep. One of the pas- { sengerst. hired another negro to place a bag of corn on the sleeper’s knees, another bag on his stomach and a third on his bead. As this weight did not wake him, a second bag was laid on his stomach. For about three minutes he continued to snore. Then he grew uneasy, began to mutter, and at the end of five minutes threw the sacks off and sat up and looked about in a dazed way. “Anything wrong, Sam?” asked the drayman. “bawdy, but Ts had the worstest dream dat I ever dreamt I’s all In cold blood." “What was Itr “Dreamt dat I had slch a sore throat I couldn’t swaller, an* de ole woman brought home two chickens, some yams an*" a possum, an’ done cooked de whole shebang, me settin* right dere an* not able to open mah mouth. Lawdy, but didn’t I suffer when I saw de las’ of dem chickens gwlne down her ole throat”—Philadelphia Ledger. A Story of Parts. A city man, driving his automobile along a little-used country road, heard something rattle beneath his car, stopped, looked back and saw a bright metal object lying in the road a short distance behind. It was a plow-point evidently lost by some farmer. It was fully half an hour before the next car came along,-and its occupant seeing the first man fiat on his back under his vehicle by the roadside, stopped and asked what the trouble was. The city man emerged and held up the plow-point “This blooming thing dropped off my car,” he said, “and I’ve been hunting for half an hour to find out where It belongs."—Everybody’s Magazine. Fish Encased In Heavy Armor. Encased in a tiny box of armor which covers its entire body—only eyes, mouth, fins and tail protruding, the trunkfish of the tropical seas is a slowly-moving creature. So heavy and thick Is this armor that one has to give a fairly heavy blow with a hammer to crtick It. The armor is made of many six-sided horny-plates, and Is a beautiful thing in itself, as well as a useful cover for its wearer. One species of trunkfish has tgo long horns reaching out over the eyes. It is often called a cowfish, because of these horns his head so much resembles that of a cow. Ask some people how they feel and they will entertain themselves for an hour by reciting their woes.

ELK TEETH AS ORNAMENTS Indian braves decorated themselves with necklaces made of claws taken from the most fen> cious animal in America, the grizzly bear. Only the squaws 1 wore elk teeth as decorations and (they used only those from the ' animals killed for food and clothing. Now the white men are following the fashion of the squaws, but are paying a prifce that tempts the lowest characters to slaughter and waste the elk for these really worthless trinkets. A fuller understanding of the history and significance of the custom of wearing elk teeth should have an influence in depreciating the market for them and thus removing the incentive for this wanton destruction of our noblest and most valuable game animal. r o— Some men pay their bills with resignation, some others pay them with money and a great many never payXthem at all.
