I This is the advice of I>. H. Gooding, poultry specialist of Clemson College Extension Service, who adds: "Eggs contain a high fer cent of protein and the hen muftt' make the egg from the feed given her. Hence, if the hen is given only corn, which contains very li?tle protein, then one should not expect a great many eggs. The way to cut the cost of feed is by disposing of hens that stop laying early in the summer and feeding the ones that continue to lay. A hen will ^nake money during the summer if she continues to Jay, but she can not produce eggs unless a well balanced ration is given her." A ration does not need to be excessively high in price to give satisfactory results, according to Mr. Gooding. who says that satisfactory results have been obtained for laying hens from the following ration: 200 pounds of wheat bran, 200 pounds of wheat middlings, and 100 pounds of fish meal or meat scraps. SCENES OF CARNAGE A writer in a recent issue of American Mercury presented a new and interesting view of the automobile accident problem. He observed that., in the light of present-day conditions, it is not remarkable that 36,000 persons are being killed in traffic accidents annually?but that it is remarkable that the number is not several times as great. In the average state, almost anyone not completely crippled can obtain a license to drive a car, irrespective of his ability, responsibility, intelligence or judgment. If he chooses, he can operate a car that belongs by rights in the junk heap?a car with an inaudible horn, feeble or glaring lights, uncertain brakes, and a steering gear affected with St. Vitus dance. If he drives that car in a dangerous manner, cutting curves, weaving in and out of traffic, and "giving her the gun" whenever possible, the chances f are that he will escape arrest?and ! that if he is arretted, he will be assessed a relatively small fine and permitted to go right on driving. When the inevitable finally occurs, and someone is killed or injured because of his recklessness or incompetence, he may have a harder time getting out of the mess?but that won't bring a dead person to life.* If any progress is to be made In reducing the horrible toll of automobile deaths and injuries, stringent methods must be adopted. Traffic codes must be modernized and enI forced with the utmost strictness and impartiality. Much higher qualifications for the issuance of drivers' licenses must be established. And the unsafe automobile, as well as the unsafe driver, must be banished from the road. Otherwise, America's streets and highways will continue to be scenes of carnage. Golf players in the Wilmington. N. C., section, are having their golf balls stolen from the fairways by crows, which pick the balls up in their beaks and fly away with them.

I not In by the papers where our leggls lature passed a bill to permit trucks and buses and trailers and houses and other pubhc nuisances that run to and fro on the highways and by-ways to build wider hoodies ami carry wider louds ansoforth. this is a hue move on the part of the state, as it is at preasant, a person in an otter-mobeei can overtake and pass a truck or a bus without running over a bo per cent risk , ... of killing hisrielf /ami famlley, but when they are made wider, he will have more sense than to try to pass them, and thus cut down highway mortality a right smart. within 2 years, a law should be passed that would require all freight and passenger highway buses to be ST feet long instead of 72 (as now), and forco them under penally of law to build their bodies as wide as the highway mought be. and carry loads 2 feet wider than the said public road, litis would bo,a step forward, as more men would be given work iu factories which made wide stuff for them. holsum moore do not think that it is fair at all to let pleassure cars, bosses, mules, waggins, and pedistrions use the public highways, they should be deeded in fee simple to the big transportation companies for the soul use of hauling freight and thus it would force the citizons to ride on the trains of the railroads, they need the bizness. art square, a local chronnic gripe, says that big trucks ansoforth should not be allowed to hog the public highways, but he is a light-weight, he allso says in 10 more years that our roads will be only a mass of crumbled cement, stone, and sand, and not worth repairing, he thinks thut there is us much sense trying to haul a ellephant in a baby carridge as there is In letting these large, tremendous trucks run over our roads, he ought to be oster-cised. some talk is going around that mebbe the law will force the big truck owners to build their vehlckles a little bit higher so's cars and folks and other live-stock could pass under them, there is no chance to get i around them, and this do seem verry plausible, it mought be better though to build new roads for tlie taxpayers, and let the freight trucks and passenger buses have our pressent roads, as they seem to use them more than everboddy else put together ansoforth. yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd, corry spondent.

While state official* bcanned insurance records of three recent victims of poison, Trial Justice lieorge H. Huus of Ludlow called for a "thorough-going investigation not only of these present cases, hut those over a course of years." "There have been between &* and f>0 suspicious deaths in laidlow, Chlcopee and the Indian orchard section of Springfield,' declared Judge Haas "By suspicion," he continued, "I mean many of them worn Insured by outsiders for amounts they, themselves, would have been unable to carryr Mean\Vhile, District Attorney Thomas T\ Morlariity, directing the inves ligation of what Judge Haas formed an "insurance racket," sought to determine whether the three most recent victims had been slain. Frank lialgas, *>0, of laidlow, was found April I. lying in the street, apparently killed by a hit-and-run driver.' Frank Kroll, also of laidlow, tumbled down a Might of stairs to his death at hit? boarding house May 20. Jacob Znoj, 40, of nearby Chlcopee, died April 22, apparently of a heart attack, 1 But police officials erased an early report of accidental deaths when routine autopsies revealed poison. "The pathological examination," declared the district attorney, "revealod enough of the same poison in each of the three men's bodies to cause death." Judge liaus, who presided at the inquest into Halgas' death, reported to superior court, that the death was a "murderous act which cannot be mitigated by the circumstances of the victim's death." A few miles away at Chlcopee, Justice J. J. Kirby held an inquest yesterday into the death of Znoj. Seven witnesses were heard. Spectators were barred from the court room. Witnesses' testimony was kept secret. His report will be filed soon at Springfield. Still pending Is the inquest into the death of Kroll. That comes under the jurisdiction of Judge Haas. All three victims ?Halgas, Kroll and Znoj?were of Polish extraction. They lived, as do scores of their country men. in the thickly-populated flats of Chlcopee and Ludlow, along the Connecticut river. NIGHT PROWLING CAT IS DESTROYER OF WILDLIFE Though (he eat Is more or less useful in destroying mice and other rodents, S. Z. Pollock, wildlife specialist#of the Soil Conservation Service in Lexington, says tha( he is probably the greatest enemy of game and song birds. Cats have a habit of eating eggs just ready to hatch. They delight in capturing young song birds in their nests, often just when they are ready to take flight. Cats eat young rabbits and quail, and when they have consumed their fill, they kill for the fun of it. The practice of allowing cats freedom at night and early morning enables them to hunt at the time when they can be most destructive, says Pollock. Some people have the habit, he continues, of taking unwanted cats into the country in sacks and dumping them, a practice which has a vicious effect upon wildlife, as such cats are in most cases compelled to obtain their livelihood by killing valuable game and lnsect-eatlng birds. All this has a definite relationship to soil erosion control, says Mr. Pollock. The wildlife division of the Service Is concerned primarily with planting various shrubs, plants and vines that serve a three-fold purpose of controlling erosion, supplying food and cover for wild game, and beautifying the landscape. The wildlife. In turn, proves its economic value as destroyers of insects and other pests, as well as enhancing the aesthetic aspects of farm life. Therefore. Mr. Pollock reasons, if the cat is allowed to destroy valuable wildlife, he is an enemy to erosion control.

KNOW ANY BIGGER? The grandfather of A. S. Mellingor of Indianapolis, was fond of telling about the .time his Uncle "Mose" raised cabbage, but one day the "boys" at the "corner grocery" bad tbeir revenge. Away back in the early days of Indiana Uncle Mose cleared a 10-acro field in the heart of the famous virgin soil of that state. After many days of hard labor he built a "worm fence" around it to keep out marauding animals. As it was getting late in tiie season he decided against corn, and planted cabbage instead. When he had broken the ground and worked it into fine condition, he sowed the seed ."broadcast" and hitched the old sorrel mare to a good-sized "saplin" with the brush which he dragged over the ground several times to cover the seed. For some weeks Unele Mose forgot about the cabbage patch, but when he finally went to look the field over, Ills heart sank to his boot tops. None of the seed had sprouted except one measly plant square in ,the middle of the 10-acre plot. He Was so mad at the thought of all that work for nothing he was Just about to yank the solitary plant out by the roots when someone called him to come in to dinner. More weeks had gone by before Uncle Mose again returned to the field. Meanwhile the showers came and the sun shone in just the right proportion. As he geared the field he was aghast to see what had happened. The cabbage had grown and grown until only a small part of the fence on that 10-acre field had been able to stand up against the pushing and crowding of the huge vegetable. Uncle Mose couldn't believe his eyes and began to think he had taken too many drinks from the "little br6wn Jug." Just then, some other members of the family came along and I their exclamations of surprise proved he was right in the first place. One day as grandfather brought this story to a close at the store, his old chum, Jeff Kesler, spoke up and said the big cabbage didn't impress him one bit. "When I was a boy in the old country," he began," my dad used I to tell meabout a big brass kettle they once made. Why, it was so large , that when the workmen went to rivet the "ears" on it, they couldn't hear . their fellow workmen on the opposite side!" A roar of "haw haw's" made grandfather so furious he blurted out, "And what In tarnation did they want with such a big kettle?" When Jeff started to answor everyone stopped talking. The room was as silent as a grave. Jeff spoke: "Why to cook that cabbage in!"?The Pathfinder.
