PROPERLY FED HENS
LAY WELL IN MARCH
CLEMSON COLLEGE, April 24.—
An average egg production of 16.9
eggs each was mad? by the hens in
104 flocks on which demonstration
records were kept in March. The
hens ate 11 cents worth of feed
each, and returned a gross income
of 22 cents, including sales of eggs
and meat, leaving an income above
feed cost of 11 cents per bird for
the month.
Flocks with the highest egg pro
duction during March in the dif
ferent size flocks were those of J.
H. King, Abbeville, 33 Barred Rocks
which laid 26.9 eggs each; Mrs.
Harry Bozard, Orangeburg, 33
Rhode Island Red hens which laid
27.5 eggs each; and W. D. Suther
land, Belton, 528 White Leghorn
hens which laid 21.4 eggs each. In
the egg record calendar flock class
J. M. Hemminger, Willington, made
best record with 328 White Leg
horn hens which averaged 21.6

$23,763.92 Comes
To McCormick
Gooding, extension poultryman,
discussing the results. “Many
poultry men make the mistake of
discontinuing feeding mash to hens
in the spring and summer months.
This is unwise, for since eggs con
tain a high per centage of protein
and the hen must make eggs from
the feed given her, if she is given
only grain, which contains very lit
tle protein, she can not be expect
ed to lay 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 not by
poorly feeding the whole flock. A
hen that continues to lay will make
money during the summer months;
but she cannot continue to lay un
less she has a full feed of a well
balanced ration.”

A NEWS MAKER
Let us look at Jesus twenty-four hours, schedule; see
how it bristles whh front-page news.
The activity begins at sunrise. Jesus was an early riser.
We discover a little boat pushing out from the shore of the
lake. It deposits Jesus and his disciples in Capernaum, his
favorite city. He proceeds at once to the house of a friend.
The report spreads instantly that he is in town, and a crowd
collects outside the gate a poor palsied chap among them.
The day’s work is at hand.
Having slept soundly in the open air he meets the call
with quiet nerves. He stoops down toward the sufferer.
“Be of good cheer, my son,” he cries, “your sins are all
forgiven.”
Sins forgiven. Indeed. The respectable members
of the audience draw back with sharp disapproval. What
a blasphemous phrase,” they exclaim. “Who authorized
him to exercise the functions of God. What right has he to
decide whose sins shall be forgiven?’
Jesus sensed rather than heard their protest. He
never courted controversy but he never dodged it; much of
his fame arose out of the reports of his verbal victories.
“What’s the objection?” he exclaimed, turning on the
dissenters. “Why do you stand there and criticize. Is it
easier to say, ^Thy sins be forgiven thee, or say. Arise, take
up thy bed and walk?’ The results are the same.” Bend
ing over the sick man again he said: “Arise, take up thy
bed and go unto thine house.”
• The man stirred and was amazed to find that his mus
cles responded. Slowly, doubtingly he struggled to his feet,
and with one great shout of happiness started off, sur
rounded by his jubilant friends. The critics had received
their answer, but they refused to give up. For an hour or
more they persisted in angry argument, until the meeting
ended in a tumult.
Can you imagine that day’s issue of the Capernaum
News, if there had been one?

One of those who had been attracted, by the excite
ment was « tax-collector named Matthew. Being a man
of business he could not stay through the argument, but
slipped away early and was hard at work when Jesus pass
ed by a few minutes before noon.
That was all. No argument; no offer of inducements;
no promise of rewards. Merely “I want you; and the
prosperous tax-collector closed his office, made a feast for
the brilliant young teacher and forthwith announced him
self a disciple.

GALL-STONES
If you are past middle age, fat, “tubby” and sedent
ary, you are a likely candidate for gall-stones, and especial
ly if constipated and neglectful of diet, bowels and exercise.
Then, if you eat too much.
I don’t see as many gall-stone cases as I used to.—not at
all; people are becoming educated.
Not all gall-stones announce themselves by the severe
pain of passing through the bile-duct; I once did an aut
opsy on an 80-year old patient a woman—who had car
ried over seventy large stones in the gall-bladder for years,
without knowing she had them.
These concretions are caused by long-retained bile in
the gall-bladder; they form somewhat like sugar forms in
the bottom of the syrup-pitcher that is little used. Preven
tion means to keep the bile moving; exercise helps to do
this. A plain, nutritious diet, and temperance in eating
is another aid. Plenty of green vegetables, the “leafy”
sorts are of use in the diet. Lettuce, spinach, dandelion
greens, well-prepared cabbage, colslaw, and such.
I am partial to the coarser breads at least once daily.
People have told me sweet milk and eggs “make them bil-

BORROWED TELEPHONES
The scene is at the end of day
With all the Jones’ in negligee.
The doorbell rings a noisy clatter
And Bertha asks, “What is the matter?
Someone has lost their senses quite
To call on us this time of night.”
Pa parks his paper with a scowl;
The baby awakened with a howl.
While mother told the girls to run
And put a few more garments on.
Mae grabbed a coat from off a chair
And found a pair of shoes somewhere.
And stuck a dab of powder on
(It might by chance be Bill or John)
She hit a chair and bruised her shin.
As she ran to let the caller in.
■ ■■ > * •
It was their neighbor Mr. Brown,
Who lived about two houses down.
With whom they barely were acquainted.
He said “Hello. It’s cold now, ain’t it?”
And pushed the door open wide, •
Tracking some snow and sleet inside.
“I wonder if you’d mind to loan ,
A friend in need your telephone?”
The Jones’ were cordial as could be.
Thinking ’twas some calamity.
That brought him out through sleet and snow
To call on folks he didn’t know
So very well. They led him through \
The living room and hallway, too.
Ma bribed the baby to be still.
And'this is what they heard: “Hey, Bill.
Just heard you’d gotten into town.
So thought I’d telephone to ask you down
To stay with us while you are here.
Yeah, jobs are hard to find this year.
My wife says tell your wife she’s right
About those Smiths. Come on tonight;
We’ll put you up, but if you find
You can’t, I know the Jones’ won’t mind
If you telephone here so we will know.
Well, guess I’d better let you go.” '
w
Now, if you have some time to spare
And want to learn new ways to swear.
Just drop some evening by the Jones’
And mention “borrowed telephones.”

ions.” I think they are mistaken; the term “biliousness”
is so old it has whiskers like all pious old frauds, it means
always something else.
Best remedy for threat of gall-stones. Phosphate of
Soda I mean, best family remedy; it is harmless. Should
he taken every morning before breakfast, enough to keep
the bowels moving comfortably. , A simple, well-tried
remedy is safer in the household than a car-load of exploit
ed “specifics” that spell quackery in big letters.
The surgery of the gall-bladder is another matter.Your
family doctor is your best friend . . . ask him.
