V. Starkey, head of the animal husbandry department, cautions farmers against digestive troubles and such work injuries as sore shoulders. When mules have been idle and ate not tempered to heavy work it will not do, he says, to become too ambitious and try to do all the spring work at once. "Frequently the feed is increased too rapidly and digestive troubles such as colic take a heavy toll from the mule population," Prof. Starkey explains. "A South Carolina veterinarian has said that if the farmers would use oats instead of corn in the spring when the hard work starts he would have very little practice. Most of tho illness of mules in the spring ? is caused by increasing rapidly on a feed which is highly concentrated. If farmers have both oats and corn it is;wise to use the oats at this time of the year.., "Another difficulty with Work'stock is sore shoulders, 1)0 per cent of which comes from using collars which lo not fit. A collar may fit early in [he spring but after a mule loses 100 or more pounds from hard work the ollar may be too large. Some solve this problem by* having two sets of collars, but a better plan is to keep [he mules at a uniform weight. Washing the shoulders each evening with salt water will help to heal and toughen them." Secretary Wallace says that dry weather in the wheat belts of the west will materially reduce this year's production of that crop. Louis Bosch, former president of :ho city council of Regla, Cuba, was recently strangled to death by unknown persons at Miami, Fla. England in the fae'e of what appears to be defeat of plans for disarmament, is planning large increases n its air forces.

No mutter Mow Mrlglit the glare of the spotlight us soon us Iho olio on whom it tjh.uos stops out of its brilliant rays, ho is forgotten, There was l?an the I Hide. Reputed to Mo worth at I oust a half million dollars, he was known from one end, to the other of that thoroughfare that has boon railed the guy white way. Hat cheek girls, wallers, cigarettes and tlower girls,, uuisleiuns and others of the hot rjiots hailed Ids frequent ajqiearanees with Joy. So did the parasites, since I>an the Dude's jioekels had no fish hooks. When ids hand canto out it held that which talks with an extremely* loud voice along Broadway. So, while he paved the way with ?he long green, friends Hocked about him in numbers. That the source of the wealth of Pan the Dude was more or Jess mys-, terlous made no difference at all. On Broadway, the Important question U not, "How did he get it?" hut "Has he got itV" The having of It Is sufOrient answer for all Broadway purposes. Dan the I Hide, however, was once questioned as to the origin of that which he seemed to regard so lightly. He replied that he bet on horses thai ran fast. That apparently was his sole occupation, llo was seen not only at the local tracks hut. also at other well known tracks about the country. But lie always came back to Broadway. o' * * * Something happened to Pan the Dude. Maybe it was the depression. Maybe Ids Judgment as to which horse was the fastest of the Held lost Its keenness. At anyplaces where lie hud been well .known saw him no more. He wasn't missed. News that his money had gone hud spread. It seemed that occasionally he stopped to chat with friends on Seventh uvonue and wns given small loans. * A well-dressed man registered at a hotel In mid-town. Shortly afterward, he leaped from a twelfth story window. The crumpled body was taken to the morgue. There was no Identification and It looked as if the final resting place would be on Ilarts Island. In a Seventh avenue cigar store, the description of the man was- noted That saved Dan' the Dude from the potters field. Broadway had forgotten him. But as Broadway usually does, It recalled him enough to contribute to his funeral. How different from the false brightness of Broadway Is the country at this time of year. Went up to Weskum Wood In Connecticut to spend some pleasant hours with Bob and Betty Weeks. In the morning sun, the Connecticut countryside sparkled as If It had been set with diamonds and the Sound was a mighty, flashing mirror. The window thermometer registered away down below freezing. But In the big living room, looking out on the brown woods, the lagoon of Blnney park and the winding road, It was like spring. And 50 minutes later we were back in the city of sham and Illusion. Getting back to Broadway, I noted the first set of ear tabs I've seen In many a long year. Found them right In Times square, too. They were worn by the red-faced, burly street railway employee who throws the switch that turns the Broadway trolley enrs at Forty-second street. * Kdward J.

Cats and Birds In his own personal organ, The Fountain Inn Tribune, Hubert Quillen says: Ye cannot serve both God and Mammon. And ye cannot love both birds and cats. To keep cats and permit them to increase and multiply and roam at large is to make yourself an enemy of all song birds. Cats are cruel and selfish and heartless beasts, without one redeeming trait. I hate them. For almost fifteen years I have planned and labored to make my little acre of ground a bird sanctuary. It took twelve years to win the first pair of robins. And last year, having surrounded the premises with a protective hedge and provided thickets and thorny vines and ample bathing facilities, I was proud host to every kind of bird I desired except the wood thrush and the house wren. It is the unfailing law of nature that migratory birds must return to the neighborhood where they were hatched. Therefore I feel lhat the birds hatched on my place belong to me, and I protect them from enemies as I would protect any other property The worst enemies are cats. Again and again this Spring I have seen strange cats stalking birds across my lawn. Now that the thrashers and mocking birds are nesting, I often hear them scolding some J intruder?either a cat or a dog?and each time I seize a gun and dash out doors to their rescue. So far I have made a poor fthowing. I have but one cut to my credit. Army air mail flyers, in relays, from Ia>s Angeles, Cal., to Newark, N. J., this week covered the 2,732 miles over the northern roUtq in 14 hours, 8 minutes, which is said to bo a record for the flight. Using a Martin bomber from Los Angeles to Cheyenne an average speed of 198' miles an hour was maintained. From Cleveland, Ohio! to T'Tbwark the tlyer covered the distance in i houiV 38 minutes. i i / The federal grand jury at Pittsburgh, Pa., investigating charges against Andrew W. Mellon, former secretary of the treasury, - alleging failure to pay all 1931 income taxes due, returned a "no bill" after hearing the government's story and charges.
