Breaking Up Broodiness About this tfme erery year, when the summer heat sete in, the hens of most any laying flock are likely to go broody. One factor in maintaining high egg production <iurlng the spring and summer months is to break up broocy hens as quickly as possible after they become broody. This is vitally important for two reasons. In the ftrst place, if they are allowed to sit ou fertile egs for ever a few hours, the germs will develop/ which is one cause of hepvy loss in marketing eggs from fanns. In the second place, the longer a broody hen is allowed to sit on the nest, the longer it requires to get her buck into laying condition, and consequently the greater the loss ip egg production. As soon as a hen .is observed to remain on the nest at nitfht, she should be removed and placed in a broody coop, where she can be properly fed and watered. The broody coop should have a slat bottom in order that the air may circulate from beneath and thus tend to keep the hen from sitting. The body will be kept | cooler and the hen will get over her broodiness. While confined in the j coop, she should be fed and watered regularly in orde^^hat she may get back into laying condition as quick- | I ly as possible. I Of course the old rule that an ounce j ft i prevention is worth a pound of I nre holds good in the case of broodi- j I jfes as well as anything ' else. I Jfoodincss is something that can be I bed out of a strain of birds by a ft good breeder, just as winter pause is I bred out, and persistency of lay,' intensity of lay, and early maturity, [ are bred in. Breeders cull broody hens on sight. If the broody bird can be caught the first night and be put immediately into the broody coop for 24 or 48 hours, they will usually be over it and get back into lay prompt- J ly. However, if they go broody two or three or four days before being I broken up, ,they will go off feed which results in partial or full moult, which in turn will keep the birds off lay all the way from six weeks to i three months. | A.

Mr. Moody made the highest labor incohne per hen among 159 demonstrators who kept complete records' for the year. His receipts were' principally from egg8.

Bujld a Hog-Feeding Floor Clemson College, June 10.?Every farmer who feeds hogs on a dirt floor loses enough in waste grain and failure to get best results to pay for a first class concrete floor each year ,SR ? E- Hook?r, concrete specialist [with the Extension Service. The concrete floor makes it" possible for hogs to use the feed completely with no waste and without taking into their stomachs the dirt which Is eaterTwtoen they feed on ordinary lots. The concrete floor is as easily built as a sidewalk, Mr. Hooker saya. All that is needed is a floor four inches thick, with a curb four inches thick and four inches high built around the floor. It the curb is extended 12 inches below ground it will prevent hogs ! from rooting, under the floor. The mixture suggested for the I feeding floor is a ,1:2:3 .mixture,which means one sack of cetiient to two cubic feet of clean sand, and three cubic feet of pebble or crushed rock-. It is well to give the floojua$L. elevation of one-fourth inch to We' foot so that water will drain off. It is suggested also that the finishing should be done with a wooden float which gives an even yet gritty surface that will not become slippery as ! would be the case with the use of a , steel trowel. A few hours after 4he, floor has been finished it should be . covered with damp soil or other ma- 1 terial and kept damp for one week to cure the' concrete and develop its maximum strength.

McUee, Copyright, 1928.# Distracted Birkstown, N. May 80, 1020. Dear <lee McGee:?., . , I know you ere not s Mrs, Dix, but won't you please tell me whet I should do about my husband ? Up till last year, he was simply ftne, but he has turned against me and never gives me and the children a cent for actugj living expenses. He stays out late at night. He seems to like the dappers about town, and talks rough to me if I even try to be nice to him. Please tell me what course to pursue * Your friend, (Mrs.) Rosa K. L. i/ "* Contented Anderson, S. C., June 8,. 1020. Dear Mrs. Rosa K. L;? 1 hardly know how to rpply to your letter. There are many ways to get rid of husbands nowadays. 1 advise gas, if you have gas in the house, but a good razor might be all right, or a shotgun would answer the purpose in an emergency like this. Some women have used sash weights to advantage, but be sure to hit him in the left temple, as there is danger of him getting away. Strychnine has brought relief to some abused wives. But this is risky?as a doctor might be too, handy. It is possible you could hire a fellow from Chicago to come and drown him for 4 or 5 dollars. However, if you think it is best not muss him up, I believe it would be satisfactory to leave him, and if he ever attempts to re-possess you, the law is on your side if you do your arguing after the shot is fired'. Yours truly, Gee McGee. How About Kissing His Big Toe? It looks like Hoover could avoid all of that hand-shaking by having some one double for him like they do in j the movies. The principle reason most folks have for wanting to shake hands with the president iB to have something to brag ubout the balance of their lives, and usually and most in generally, the guy who would go to very much trouble to achieve this "hand-shake" notoriety won't ever have much else worthwhile to his credit.

My wife takes a hankering for a hospital every few months, and to please her and the doctors and the nurses, I borrow all the money I can get, and then I send.bpr "over," and she stays till my jast cent has disappeared. Now last week, she commenced ahurting in 3 or 4 different places, and begatt taking a "dost" of soda water after each meal, and then 1 knew it wouldn't 'be long, and it wasn't. I bought the nicest room they had. My wife always was foolish about nice hospital rooms. 'She looks much better while ill if the room and window curtains and the furniture have the proper settings. And furthermore, I bought a bfcd that had a crank on it, and she ca'n sit up or lie down or turn over or stay crooked ansoforth without even getting out of any one of 15 positions, all of which she is very fond of. They treated her, fine at the hospital. They let her suck some wind (called oxygen) through a little tube and blow it out in the form of bubbles and they charged her only 15 dollars per Nuck, but she sucked the aforesaid machine 3 times. The doctors stuck a pin in her finger and ' drew a drop of blood fo* examination. used his spy-glass on that bunch of corpuscles about 2 minutes for only 12 dollars and 50 cents, including the war tax and luxury tax. Alcohol rubs and soup and craokers always go w'th the Toom and the crackers looked mighty tempting, both of them. She got by with only 19 different tests, such as for high blood pressure and low blood preesttre and adenoids and thyroid expansion and shingles and roofing nails and<Wkll stones and typographical errors and gastronomic i inclemency and essence of oayenne pepper and fallen arches and ingrowing nails and tonsilitis And insomnia and dizziness in the head and compunctive extraction and hydrophobia, all of which cost les$ than 1 hundred and 7b dollars, exclusive of gas, oil, ink, electricity, and gauze. She carried her knitting along, and that cost me about 4 dollars a day, but the thing she is knitting " will possibly be worth 25 cents, including the 9 dollars worth of thread, but she strained so hard at some of the stitches she took on the garment in question, her specks went ker-fluey on her, and that means the price of a few windshields and a couple of plateglass show-windows. But she gets all the drinking water she wants absolutely free of charge?and some of it has ice in it too. Every time I go over to see the old lady, and watch those pretty nurses- circulate pro and con amongst the patients, and see how nice everybody is to her and the other fortunate inmates, I crave illness myself, and long to be laid up where such wonderful service is rendered for only a song, even if I can't sing. On Way To Reunion; Dies At Lincolnton Lincolnton, June 0.?-Clad in his gray uniform, ready to go to the re* uivion in Charlotte, Elam Houser, 81 year old Confederate veteran, was struck by a railroad engine here Monday and killed. Mr. Houser had just been brought to Lincolnton by his son, Wallace Houser, with whom he lived in tho Vale section of Lincoln county. To pass a few moments spare time, he climbed up on the Sea board Air Line trestle near the Arrow mills to watch some shifting trains below on the1 Carolina and Northwestern .tracks thinking the track above safer than the underpass. The engineer driving an S. A. L. train to Cherryville, sfcW the old man, blew his whistle and applied his brakes, but it) was too Late. Mr. Houser was knocked unconscious and died shortly afterwards. The old veteran had told friends a few minutes before that this probably would be the last Confederate reunion he would, be able to attend and he was looking forward with a great deal of interest to seeing many of his old friends for the last time. Mr. Houser, born and raised in Lincoln county, was the son of Levi Houser, who was killed while serving with the Confederacy. He enlisted near the end of the war at the age | of 17 years. j Goflf Gets Ten Years | j Columbia, June 8.?Ernest Goff, I convicted of manslaughter in con-jnection with the killing of his fatherin-law, Tom Lee, was sentenced this | morning to ten years in the state .penitentiary by Judge W*,.

USE FOR OLD BLADES Make Excellent Knives for Cutting Phone Bushings Boys usually, become acquainted with the implements of man's tonsoriul activities by finding father's razors and razor blades useful pencil sharpeners and cutters. Then they learn of the make-shift use for the razor strop. But "like father, like son" for the tinkering instinct of the masculine continues into manhood's estate with the result that we have inventors, designers, artists, etc. This tinkering instinct has led to the discovery that razor blades, be-, cause of their high cutting qualities, make excellent machine knives for the cutting of hard rubber rings or bushings used in the manufacture of telephone equipment. For years this has been a bothersome process because ordinary cutting tools dulled quickly and also left a burr edge on the rubber rings. This burr had to be subsequently removed by another operation. Then an engineer, tinkering* in his home laboratory, found -that by. heating rubber and employing his used blades he could cut rubber rings cleanly and quickly. This led to the assembling of a machine which will cut off 325 perfect bushings per minute. ?
