Using Work Stock
To Best Advantage
Olemson College, May 14.?Advising
that it is best to mako haste I
slowly until tl\o farm work stock becomes
adjusted to spring work, Prof.
L. 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.

Lights of New York
by L. t. STEVENSON
Stuqq Is the memory of Hroudwny.
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.

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,
