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

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."

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*

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

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.

"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

simple to translate into "Aesop's Fa

librarian then had to inquire diligent

THE REASON WHY A
WOMAN CAN'T BE A MASON
(By Capt. W. C. Shaw)
i The*reason may not be very com
i plimentary to the fair sisters. 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

he came to where bhey had hid, and
demanded of Adam what he was- do
ing there, instead of occupying tts
official station. 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

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.
