PQULTRY POINTERS Clemson College, March?Progress] in breeding poultry stock, the United States Department of Agriculture ad vises, will be made most quickly by picking out the best individuals and using them as breeders, rather than by breeding from flock as whole. Watch the breeding flock carefully a?d see that the fowls are kept in good breeding condition. The birds and houses should be examined to see that they are not infested with lice or mites. Eggs that are abnormally small 1 ?c-VioruaH chnuld not be anu pvviij ? ?? used for incubation; neither should eggs that have thin or very porous shells. . If possible eggs should be set when fresh, and it is never ad visable to use for hatching eggs that are more than two weeks old. Brood coops with runs should be placed on ground where the grass is green and tender, and as fast as it is eaten off, the coop and run should be moved to a place where the grass is plentiful. Skim milk is considered by the poultry specialists very desirable for ohicks during the first week. In order to insure that all chicks get the milk it is advisable to dip the chick's beak in milk before it gets any other food. (This can best be done when removing chicks from the incubator.) Give milk to drink as long as it is available. All scratch or whole grain should ?be scattered in the litter. Hens like to work for their living. Troughs or hoppers should be used for dry mash. Noon is the time to provide fresh green food. It aids digestion. Hard, sharp grit for grinding feed and oyster shells to supply lime for egg shells are both necessary Neither will replace the other. Laboring men in the month of Ramaden among the Moslems, are supposed to go without food, drink and tobacco from sun-up to sun down. "Black-Draught if. in my opinion, the best liver medicine on the market," states Mrs. R. H. White sidetof Keota.Okla. She continues: "l had a pain in my chest after eating tight, uncomfortable feel ing?and this was very disagreeable and brought pn headache. I was con stipated and knew It was indigestion and inactive liver. 1 began the use of Black-Draught, night and morning, and it sure is splendid and certainly 0ves relief." Thedford's BLACK DRAUGHT For over seventy years tbis purely vegetable preparation has been MH found beneficial by thou sands ot persons sinter ing from effects of a tor* pld, or slow-acting liver. Indigestion, biliousness, * xolic, coated tongue, diz ziness, constipation, bit ter taste, sleeplessness, lack of energy, pain in back, puffiness under the eyes?any or all of these symptoms often indicate that there is something the matter with your liver. You can't be too careful about the medi cine you take. Be sure that the tame, "Thed ford's Black-Draught," is on the package. At all druggists. Accept Only the Gennine. TO EXPLOflE OCEAN'S DEPTHS British Government Contemplating an Expedition for the Gathering of Scientiflo Information. The British government Is contem plating the dispatch of a deep-sea ex ploring expedition which is expected to gather much valuable scientific in formation. Most people Imagine that the depths of the ocean have been pretty thor oughly explored, but this is very far from being true. As a matter of fact, only a very small fraction of the whole area of deep sea bottom has been surveyed. Attention is particu larly called to a vast subaqueous re gion around tne t aiKiauu mmuus uuu up as far as Montevideo, which is al most unknown, and which, having a depth of less than 100 fathoms, may offer opportunities for the development of lucrative fisheries. The first deep-sea exploring expe dition, that of the famous Challenger, was set on foot just 50 years ago. The ship left port in 1872, and ideas on the subject were in those days so primitive that there was dispute as to whether she should use wire or hempen rope for soundings. It took a whole day to make one sounding, or a single cast of the dredge for bring-, ing up fishes and other animals. Since then deep-sea sounding ap paratus has been much improved by cable ships, and fishing gear has been greatly modified by steam trawlers, which use dredges. Besides, a great deal that Is of value has been learned by oceanographic expeditions subse quent to that of the Challenger. Hence the new exploring vessel will start out with a prospect of accomplishing a very great deal of work of real im portance. TOO MUCH FOR SMALL MINDS Childish Messenger* Have Hard Tim* Blumbering Names of Book* Ytiiv Ara Sent F#f. "I want 'Ressurection in the Parks,'" demanded a little chap of the librarian at the West Indianapo lis branch library. "My brother said for me to get it for him." The librarian did not wish to let the little chap know she was puzzled. She knew it was something that went on In the parks that the boy wished. The "resurrection," she * decided, might be "recreation," and that was what she suggested. "That's It," smiled the little chap, "I knew I had that word wrong." Librarians often deal with little j brothers and sisters who are running errands for big brothers and sisters in high school. When one of the tots asked the librarian at the West Indi anapolis branch for "Europe's Fa bles," the librarian smiled, for that was simple to translate into "Aesop's Fa bles." It was different when another asked for "Out of the Twist," the librarian then had to inquire diligent ly before she found that tne chili patron meant "Oliver Twist."?Indl- i anapolls News.

Some of the boys around the gro cery store the other night got to kid ding the old chap about his job and, eventually, they asked him how much he made out of It.

A yellow cat called Shimmy, of no particular breed, but lately a cher ished mascot of the Aberdeen (Wash.) Are department, left her home there suddenly. Shimmy, according to the fire laddies, who hunted three days without success for their vanished pet, made her uest in a coil of hose which Is used to wash the floor of the Are hall. On the morn of Shim my's disappearance a careless fire man turned the water Into the coll. Shimmy was catapulted toward the celling and shot by the stream of wa ter into the street. The cat has not yet eome back. Financial Backing. "Tour friend the reformer seems to be enjoying great prosperity tbeM days." "He had a stroke of luck." "What was it?"

Wom an sometimes complains that she is not permitted to enter a Masonic j Lodge and work with the craft in their labors, and learn all that is to be learned in the institution. It is said that before the Almighty had finished His work he was in some doubt about creating Eve. The crea tion of every living thing had been accomplished and the Almighty had made Adam, who was the first Mason,. and created for him the finest Lodge in the wotfd and called it Paradise No. 1. He then called all the beasts of the field and fowls of the air to pass be fore Adam in order that he might name them, which he had to do alone so that there would be no confusion. He knew that Eve would make trou ble if she was allowed to participate ir. it if he created her beforehand. Adam was very much fatigued with his task and fell asleep and when he awoke he found Eve in the Lodge with him. Adam being senior warden placed Eve as the pillar of beauty in the South and t^ey receiv ed their instructions from the grand master. When finished she immediate ly called crafts from labor to re freshment instead of attending to the duties of her office as she ought She left her station, violated her obliga tion, and let in an expelled Mason who had no business there and went arnnnH with him. lMvinc Adam to take care of the jewels. The fellow had been expelled from . the grand ledge with several others, sometimes before. Hearing the footsteps of the grand master he suddenly took his life, telling Eve to make aprons for she and Adam were not in proper re galia. She went and told Adam and when the grand master returned to the lodge he found his gavel had been stolen. He called for the senior and junior wardens, who had neglected to guard the door, and found them Ffaysa recor< $39,000 WORTH OF JEWELRY STOLEN FROM N. Y. WOMAN Los Anjjeles, Cal., March 14.?

Adam replied i:liat he (was waiting for Eve to call the carft for refreshment to labor again, and that the craft; was not properly clothed, which they were making pro vision for. Turning to Eve he asked her what excuse she had to offer for her unof ficial and unmasonic conduct. She replied that a fellow pafising him self off as a grand lecturer had given her instructions and she thought it was no hairm to obey them. The grand master then asked her what had become of his gavel. She did not krow^unless the fellow had taken it a-vray with him. Finding that Eve was no longer trustworthy " and that she his caused Adam to neglect his duty and had let in one whom he had^ expelled, the grand master had the lodge closed and turned them out and sent a faithful teller to guard the door, and this is why a woman can't be an inside mason.
