*" The poultry and egg industry once
more Is expanding. Production of
chickens was Increased in 1036, and a
further increase is in progress this
year Production of egg* declined
slightly in 1038, but the output daring
the current year of 1039 will probably
equal or exceed that of 1037. On
January I. next, there may be more
than 420.000.o00. During the past fifteen
years, the largest number of
chickens on farms was 47.').000,000 in
1028. and the smallest was 287.000.000
in 1038. Ilut. us feed was more plentiful
during 1038, there was an Increase
i)f about 7 per cent In the number of
chickens during the year.
Amendments to the Social Security
act were passed by the house and

also, seem to bo picking up. Developments
during the past month

Coffee PUntntions Are
Operated by Hand Power
Coffee plantation* ure interesting
places, especially to Americans who
ure accustomed to seeing only
American-style production of ordinary
agricultural crops.
Coffee seeds are thlcklytoown in
carefully prepared beds. The seeds
sprout in about 40 days, showing
two small leaves.
The plants then are transferred to
the nursery plots In rows about a
foot apart. During two yters in the
nursery the plants grow about two
feet. Then they are ready for transplanting
into holes as described
above.
When the roots take hold firmly
in their new location, the young
trees are bent over and clamped to
the ground by forked pins. This
breaks the skin or bark some eight
er-ten inches from the ground.
From these breaks many little
sprouts shoot upward. As soon as
the heahhy ones can be distinguished,
they are pruned down to
four. This process makes for bushy
trees.
About five years later, writes
Capt. M. M. Corpening, Guatemala
City correspondent in the Chicago
Tribune, the trees are ready to produce.
In the meantime the soil must
be kept clean and- the shade tree's
ut a correct foliuge density. The
grown coffee tree is about eight feet
in diameter (maximum) and 12 feet
high, and will last 30 to 40 years if
cared for properly.
All soil maintenance is by hand
with hoes and machetes. Plows are
taboo because they aid soil erosion.
The coffee "bean when ripe is red,
and if of good grade half an inch in
diameter. The trees resemble cherry
trees in good seasons
The berries are hand picked by
men with baskets strapped around
their waists. This phase is piece
work, at so much per 100 pounds
picked. The harvest begins in November
and lasts through to February.
There is one crop per year.
Chinaware Among Later
Table Furnishings Used
It was not until the Dutch East
India company began trading with
the Orient that china was introduced
into the western world.
This brought something entirely
new in table furnishings to those
who had been accustomed for generations
to the dull, gray monotony
of pewter or wooden ware. The desirability
of this china was quickly
recognized and the bright colors and
its cleanness-pleasure to
those possessing it.
Delft ware was produced by the
Italians in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth
centuries.
The method of covering a colored
body with a white glaze, however,
was not unknown to the Arabians
and Persians, relates Alice R.
Rollins in the Los Angeles Times.
The Dutch followed the method of
the Italians and in turn the English
copied the technique of the Dutch.
Holland produced a delft ware from
1650 to 1710, in imitation of the importations
from China by the Dutch
East India company, which maintained
a port at Delft.
The Dutch potters themselves exported
their products to all parts
of the world opened to them by
trade and many potters migrated
to foreign countries including England.
It was the desire to create a white
ware that led to the production of
delft. The colored clay body was
first fired, then dipped in a white
glaze or enamel derived from binoxide
of tin or stannic acid.
Copernican System of Astronomy
Copernicus, whose Polish name
was Niknlaus Koppernigk, was born
at Thurn, Prussian Poland, in 1473.
He studied astronomy at the University
of Krakow, then spent a number
of years in Italy, studying medicine
and canon law. About 1500 he
lectured in Rome on mathematics
and astronomy, then in 1512 he settled
in Frauenberg, East Piussia,
where he entered holy orders and
became canon of the cathedra!. He
is said to have been devoted to the
performance of his duties and to
have practiced medicine, giving his
services free to the poor, but it was
his discovery of th<* Copernican system
of astronomy that made him
famous after his death. His great
work was probably completed in
1530 but was not published until
1543 when he lay dying. Dedicated
to the pope, it described the sun as
the center of a great system, with
the earth one of the planets revolving
about :t. Modern astronomy was
built on the foundation laid down
by Copernicus.
Habits of Ant-Eaters
In tropical countries there are
large mammals known as ar.'-oater:>
T 'hrive 'n 'he ant-eating line
it is necessary that the creature
should be armel with powerful
limbs for tearing open the nests,
and also be immune from the bites
and stings. So Nature has provided
it v. ,th a long, worm-like tongue,
coated with a sticky substance wit),
which it is able to lick up arge
numbers of insects as they run
ahou* in the wreckage of their home
Some species of ant-eaters have no
teeth, states a writer in London TitBits
Magazine. In their place they
have long, tubular jaws, for anb
are small and need no biting; the
length of the jaw assists them In
their work, for they are able tc
stick it into crevices and holes in
which the ants attempt to escapa.
Masked Dancing
Girl Recalled
Old Prospector Tells of
Famed 'Silver Heels'
of Mining Camps.
F AIRPLAY, COLO.?The vision of
"Silver Heels," mysterious masked
dancing girl, formed Itself in the
pipe smoke of Col. Henry Maher
as the old prospector told the story
of the beautiful girl whose strange
name has been.a legend in Rocky
mountain mining camps for more
than two generations.
Maher has spent most of his 80
years In the search for gold' and
silver. He crimped the tobacco into
his pipe and set down before his
fireplace, recounting the story of
the mysterious woman who earned
for herself the name of the "Florence
Nightingale of the mining
cam pa."
She was young. She was graceful.
She was masked so well that
she foiled all attempts to identify
her. *
The old miner's eyes gained a
new brightness as he described her
I ?the winsome woman who refused
to reveal her face or her name.
Named by Miners.
So beautiful was she?and so capable
a dancer?that the hard-bitten
gold seekers christened her "Silvet
Heels," after the metallic slippers
she wore as she danced.
"The girl was known only as Silver
Heels. Without warning or advance
billing she would appear mysteriously
to dance in the cabarets in
Park City. Alma, Montgomery and
nearby nvning camps. Always she
wa3 dressed beautifully ? a"i
masked.
"After her dance was finished she
would disappear just as mysteriously.
She ixver appeared in public
without her face covered by a heavy
veil or a mask.
"There were imaginative accounts
that she was a southern girl whose
family had lost its fortune in the
Civil war. These reports she ignored.
"And she was 6s straight as a
string," Colonel Maher emphasized.
"Everybody loved and respected
her because she wasn't like the 'garden
variety' of dance-hall girl^ of
that time.
"I remember once a drunken
gambler attempted to embrace her
during a dance. I was only one of a
score or more of men who virtually
made mincemeat of him.
Everyone Loved Her.
"The real reason everyone loved
her," he added, "was because she
was an angel?an angel of mercy to
the miners and their families. Often
she would nurse an injured miner
back to health. She was known to
have grubstaked several of the boys
whose luck failed them. Once she
risked her life day and night for a
week when a minor smallpox epidemic
struck one of the camps."
The dancejr lived in the mining
district for a number of years. One
day she disappeared as mysteriously
as she had arrived. It was supposed
that she returned to her home
in the southland.
"But we did the best we could toward
preserving her memory. In
fact, we gave her the highest honor
the West can paya person," Maher
declared. "One day a group of us
were discussing the mineral possibilities
of the surrounding mountains.
One of the men pointed to one
of the highest peaks in the axed.
"That mountain is like Silver
Heels," he said, 'Beautiful to look
on and with a heart of gold.' "
"Silver Heel mountain has had
her name since that day. There's
a mountain we can be proud of."
Oklahoma Farm Woman
Finds Trap Door Spicier
MANGUM, OKLA.?A "trap door"
spider, long a curiosity to the layman,
has been captured by Mrs.
Carl Longmire, a farm woman living
south of Mangum.
The spider's nest consists of a
web-woven tube sometimes a foot
long connected with a "trap door"
top. The insect raises the side of
the "hinged" door to leave the tube.
Mrs. Longmire said at least 12
inches of tubular nest remained in
the ground when she dug up the
spider's home. All sides of the tube
were encrusted witti hard earth.
Brought here, the spider was
lured from his tubular home with insect
bait. The spider cautiously
pushed aside the "trap door" before
seeking the bait.
