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.

up of corn, grown on the farm, at
an ?verage rate of 10 pounds per day

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.

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 *

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.

Poke Out Your Tongue
A hospital is a fine place to spend
time as well_as money. 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.

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.
