Care of the Growing Stock Clemson College, June 27.?Tn< poultryman's success is determinec largely by the care and managemen that he gives his growing stock. I: the young chicks do not get prope. attention they will not develop int< healthy, active, robust adults. Toe much care can not be given the grow ing stock, for from these birds com< the profits, suggests N. R. Mehrof extension poultry specialist. The Environment The right environment is essential Proper housing facilities shoulc therefore be provided and l!ic youn| chicks should not be ove ro?vded. In order that they r k;y . veloi into healthy adults, they must be fee the proper rations, the type of ratior Henpttdins- uDon the product desired In feeding to develop the pullets, r< ration is needed that will put 01 weight gradually and also keep then in a healthy condition. In feeding for meat production, it is necessary tc cofine the birds and f~ ;d fattening mashes. Green feed is essential for th( growing stock. It aids in the iiges tion o .:ie other feeds and acts as z laxative and is indespensable in the ration. To keep the direct rays of the sur ? !? ;x + , irom Tn0 cnicKs, 11 is suvimwc w provide plenty of shade. Sanitation in and about the young stock is absolutely necessary. Foi this reasor .c is necessary to keep th< yards free from dead carcasses; t< spade up the yard and plant rye, vu or rape; and to allow the birds tc have a dost tath to keep them free from lice. e Feed for the Growing Pullets The mash recommended below has given very satisfactory results and should be fed wherever it is possible t.n obtain all oi thQ ingredients. Mash for pullets: 300 pounds of wheat bran. 100 pounds of wheat middlings. 100 pounds of corn meal. 100 pounds of ground oats. 100 pounds of meat scrap. This mash should be kept before them all the time. If buttermilk or sour milk is not fed separately. ::dr 100 pounds of dried buueimi'r powder. The scratch grain is composed oi equal parts of cracked corn and wheat. It should be fed morning and night, enough to nearly satisfy theii appetities. Feeding milk.?Nothing will stimulate the appetite more or keep the J-.'/wna + iiTa orofam in VkQ+f^T PnTI H it 5 OT1 ulgcol 1vc aaa vvvwi, than the frequent use of sour skin milk or buttermilk paste. All the soui skim milk or clabber that can be obtained should be used. Buttermilk in the paste form should be fed at the late of 5 pounds to 100 birds.' BETTER LIVESTOCK AVAILABLE Clemson College, June 27.?A list of 28 counties in the United States in which livestock improvement is progressing rapidly has been prepared by the Bureau of Animal HusbanJvrr TT S D A in rnnnection with y ? the "Better Sires?Better Stock" campaign. In each of these counties more than 50 owners, and in some cases several hundred, are using purebred sires exclusively for all classes of farm animals V it.

This list refers specifically to localities where :he breeding of improved livestock is going forward rapidly, but does nof necessarily imply that they are as lrnoortant centers of purebred stock are other localities where purebreds have been bred for a longer time.

Scaly-Leg Mites of Chicks Clemson College, June 27.?TliiJ mite commonly remains on the feet, burrowing through the scales and causing their enlargement.

A terrible tale <> ' the torrid zone } was unfolded by Cnpt. li. H. Terrible } the other dav oil the arrival of the - steamer i-iiis. which plies between ? New York ?;: . Manaois, a port about l,00u miles up the Amazon river. The skipper vowed by marine ami other saints that never had be seen sijrhts so strange, according to the New V rk Times. On a river which empties into ? Amazon, near Manaois, he said In- . mvvio/lo rvf* fllo/'TiMi* ^1^ vi * <tr<l! ujjAiauo Vi viw cx*\- ^ \ *wv k w, -. ) charged with electricity that the bru ^ I bosom of the stream was flooded with , light and the crew were able to read their pocket Bibles by the glow, which was estimated at 4U watts per eel. 1 When seamen brought some of these 1 high-voltaged eels on deck, Captain i Torrible said, the ship's d "uumos were * short circuited and ther as the dick) ens to pay until the eels were disiv r nected. But Skipper Torrible hadn't finished. While the Denis was tied up at the pier, a buy who was working with t loaning gang ieu iuio me j.hc 1 luminous eels surged around him, and ? when he was picked up he was dead. A physician who examined the body i said that the lad was the victim oi' j an electric overcharge. Captain Torrible brought back with him a sundodging monkey, which prowled only * at night. He declared that the simian, r like an owl, was casual and apathetic - by day, but when the sun went over ) the horizon the monkey had HO-HU - j glims and was an uitrj.-tively stepper. > The captain took newspaper men into > his cabin, where the pet was kept, and pulled down the shades. The sun dodger reacted to the gloom by appropriating and immediately eating a 5 straw kelly recently purchased at coii[ siderable outlay by one of the reporti ers. The skipper said that he had purchased a Brazilian sloth to bring back to the United States, but the animal was too lazy to eat and died on the way here. / REAL HUMORIST OF AMERICA I In One Writer's Opinion, the Country Editor Is Entitled to Honor t;*u 1 VI UIV iktv. The funniest things whir!; are writ' ten and printed in thi^> .country are [ not written by Irvin CobU or George Ade or King Lardner. They are not written by the provisional humorist of the great newspapers. They are written by the so-called country editors and notably by soi called country editors of Ohio and l Kansas. We hardly think anyone t with a real sense of humor who reads . large nuinbers%ot newspapers and magazines and modern books will dispute this assertion. Humor is merely the ability to see ' and react understanding^* to the mirth-provoking side of human nature, which is not Uie Jeast ampie 01 its sides. A humorous paragraph may be grossly exaggerated in its interpreta. tion of human nature, but human nature must be somewhere down near ' the bottom of it or it is a failure. ' This explains why humor is so much more amusing, so .much more satisfy ing than wit. Wit needs no human i nature as *:.< foundation, it may be <5?rvirUv q lichrnine'-like ulav on mere . words, sufficient io cause a smile, a laugh perhaps, but i;one of the solid comfort derived by the discerning from ' true humor.?Ohio State Journal.

"I remember one time back in a little Ohio town," said the captain, "when my father was stopped by i>a > officer of the law locau.se he w:ix driving his mare more than 12 mikan hour." " 4You was going more than twelve miles an hour,' said the officer; 'I'll arrest you for speeding.'r> 44 'So, got up, get up,' my father said. 'That's a compliment to the mare.

This is not the fact. The lignum vitae tree grows in Flor :a, on the Florida keys, in the Bu j !^<aia islands and various islands of j li.e West Indies. The supply of this ! wood is negligible from the Florida j keys, the trade being ^mainly supplied ; by the Bahamas, though Haytl is a large producer. The tree is a low, gnarled, round-headed growth and it ! sometimes vtrains a height of L'5 or 1 30 lVet, lui* its short trunk is frequentlv two and one-half or three feet ihick.

The medicine man, as known to the ancients and to the aborigines of America, Africa and other lands, was no faker or humbug or quack, according to Dr. Marrett of the University of Oxford (England). In a book on Psychology and Folk-lore he describes j the Australian buslnnan's incantations j to drive out of a man's head the crysj tal that has caused his disease, after wl^ich J o produces in his hand a piece of crystal, apparently out of the sufferer's head. Neither he nor the patient nor the patient's friends is deceived; they all know that he has had the crystal in his hand or up his sleeve all the time, and that he has been acting ritualistically or symbolically throughout the incantation. The crystal is a symbol of the mischief within the ; head. What the medicine man really i does is to set the good magic Influence ! or "nama" within himself to combat ? | trie Dad "nama" amicung ins paueat. j He, in fact, deals in the occult, hut he j does so with high moral Intent, and j has attained to the power of s<> deaii'ing only after severe training, in vol vj ing fasting, isolation and all the other miseries of a special initiation. Psychology o* Laughter. In the psychology ?f laughter on< traces the development of humor through its many stages, showing the fiosff rplation between the appreci 1 atioa of the tribe and the enjoyment i of the nursery. Children laugh somej what in the manner of savages, not ! being able, because of their limited ; experience, to see the subtle shades of i a joke that are only discernible in a high type of mental development. Swift's "Gulliver's Travels'* has much j satire in it which the girl and boy > luckily cannot fathom; it takes a l sophisticated mind to understand it j Kat the adventures among the Lillij l -ians and Brobdingnagians are class1 ics in the nursery.
