Milk Pelletizing
Aids Poultry Feed
Milk Products Are Found
Important to Egg Output
That milk products are still
among the most important ingredi
ents in a laying ration is indicated
In results of a series of feeding
tests conducted with high-produc
ing flocks in New England poultry
areas earlier this year.
The tests, which ran an average
of 164 days, were conducted at a
state agricultural college, a county
vocational agricultural school and
commercial poultry farms. Re
sults showed an average additional
profit of 26 cents each for hens fed
milk products in addition to rations
regularly fed on the test farms.
Nearly 3,000 birds. New Hamp-
shires, Rhode Island Reds, Barred
'Rocks, and a Barred Cross were in-
ivolved. On each farm flocks were
divided into test and control pens.
(The control pen received the ra

and egg production records were
kept For purposes of making prof
it comparisons, 55 cents a dozen
was used as an average egg price.
When results were tabulated and
pveraged, it was found that the
test pens fed the milk product laid
an average of 8 per cent more e&gs
and made an average of 12.3 per
cent more profit. Egg production
lor test birds averaged 64 per cent
throu£hout the tests, compared to
B9 per cent for control birds. Aver
age feed cost per dozen eggs was
19 cents for test pens, 28 cents for
control pens. Culls and deaths in
test pens averaged 15 per cent
Highest average egg production
was 74.4 per cent made by a test
pen of Barred Rocks at the county
school over a six-month test period.
There the control pen averaged 69
per cent production. Birds in the
test averaged $3.06 net income per
bird (eggs over feed), compared
to $2.71 per bird in the control pen.

Animals, Fowls Experience
Man's Disease Conditions
Teetotaling dogs, turkeys and
chickens which drink nothing
•tronger than water sometimes get
fthe same diseases which human
beings develop from over-lndul-
gence or high living.
Veterinarians’ records show that
( turkeys and chickens sometimes
develop gout, and dogs and other
animals get cirrhosis of the liver.
Uany other disease conditions of
man also are common to animals
No Fault of Recoil
The old alibi that muzzle recoil
messes up one’s shooting accuracy
has been scrapped for all time by
recent demonstrations at the re
search laboratories of the Western
cartridge company division of Olin
industries at East Alton, 111.
There science answered two ques
tions asked by shooters since one
first experienced the “kick” of a
rifle. Questions answered were:
Does the visible recoil of a gun
occur before the bullet leaves the
muzzle and destroy aim, or does
the gun “kick” after the bullet la
safely on its aimed way.
The answer was that visible re
coil does not occur until after the
bullet is some 30 feet away from
the muzzle, which shows apparently
indisputably that recoil, or “kick*'
has nothing to do with a shooter’s
aim.
The photograph series here illus
trates how this determination was
made.
Here the test rifle is placed
in recoil rest to simulate as far
as possible conditions under
which it would be fired by a
man. The butt is in a sponge
rubber pocket. The muzzle
end rests upon a hard rubber
cylinder with a depressed cen
ter and upon the block of wood
used as a reference point for
the three micro-flash pictures.
The trigger is pulled by a wire
lanyard.
Showing how the micro-flash
pictures were made, this die-
junctor wire, 1/100 of an inch in
diameter, is stretched before
the muzzle of the rifle across
the path the bullet will take.
When the bullet snips the wire
in two, it breaks an electrical
circuit thus having the bullet
take its own picture.
And here’s the proof that re
coil doesn’t interfere with aim,
as the rifle muzzle is still se
curely on the rest, while the bul
let has already left the muzzle
and has broken the disjunctor
wire. The snug fit of the muzzle
on the rest shows recoil has not
yet occurred. Other photos
showed that visible recoil does
not occur until bullet is some 30
feet from muzzle.

"Farmers and poultry rinsers who
suffer losses by ruthless killings
should be sure of the culprit before
cottdemning the family dog,” says
Dayton Parsons, Division of Conser
vation trapper. "Nine times out of
ten,” he claims, "the poor dog gets
blamed for the dirty work of the
fox.”

Watch Bird Bands
Hunters are urged to watch for
bands on ducks and geese they kin
this year and to turn the bands in
to the U.S. fish and wildlife service.
Band numbers consist of two sets
of figures, both of which are needed
to identify the bird. Those cooperat
ing are asked to record the band
numbers in the latter, as well as
flatten out and enclose the band it
self, since bands returned in the
mail occasionally tear through the
envelope and are lost.

The Go-Getter Son Learned
To Take It Easy, Live Awhile

“THE OLD MAN pulled his hat

It was one of those days. What with the phones going, a show
rehearsing in my theatre, and people popping in and out, my office
was like backstage at an Olsen and Johnson musical.
One of my appointments was with an ex-soldier who had recently re
turned from the Pacific. Like a thousand, other kids, he was anxious to
get a job in show business. I told him I’d get in touch with him if any
thing turned up, and asked him to excuse the short interview because I
was rushed. He smiled and walked to the door.
"What are you grinning about?”
I asked.
“Oh, nothing,” he said. “I Just

The way he said it made me

man believed in taking it easy. The
son was the go-getter type.
“One morning, they loaded the
cart, hitched up the ox and set out
for the city. The young fellow fig

and night, they’d get to the market
by next morning. So he walked
alongside the ox and kept prodding
it with a stick.

a better chance of getting good

" Then a few minutes more

’My brother and l live so close,
yet we see each other so seldom.’
“The young man fidgeted while
the two old gentlemen gossiped
away an hour.
“On the move again, the father
took his turn leading the ox. When
they came to a fork in the road,
the old man directed the ox to the
right. ’The left is the shorter way,’
said the boy.
“ T know it,’ said the old man,
‘but this way is prettier.’
“ ‘Have you no respect for time?’
asked the impatient young man.
“ T respect it very much,’ said
the older fellow. ‘That’s why I like
to use it looking at flowers.’
“The right-hand path led through
woodland and wild flowers. The
young man was so busy watching
the sun sink he didn’t notice how
lovely the sunset was. Twilight

The
Fiction CALL A DOCTOR
By
Richard H. Wilkinson
Corner
O GDEN TURNED over in bed,
muttered, then sat bolt up
right. There was a wild, unholy
light in his eyes. Great globules of
perspiration stood out on his fore
head. His hands felt cold and clam
my.
For a moment he sat rigid and
tense. Slowly he relaxed. Then he
switched on the bedside light. Five
a.m. In four and a half hours it
would be over. He would have en-
tered Mr. Mitch
ell’s office and

you for three
years. I am a valued employee and
feel that I deserve more money.”
And Mr. Mitchell would reply—
Well, what would Mr. Mitchell re
ply?
He got out of bed without
waking his wife. It was 5:30 and
atiU dark. He went into the bath
room and turned on the shower.
At 6 o’clock, fully dressed, he
came downstairs. He put cof
fee on to boil, set a frying pan
over a gas Jet, cut open an
orange, plugged In the toaster.
Presently he sat down to eat. He
ate automatically. Food was taste
less in his mouth.
He left the house without waking
Helen. During the half hour it took
him to reach the office he was be
set by all sorts of terrifying fancies.
He grew hot, then cold. He changed
his mind twice about approaching
Mr. Mitchell. He thought he’d post
pone the ordeal. Then he pictured
himself coming home to Helen.
Helen was proud of him. What
would she think if he had to admit
lacking the courage to face a com
mon ordinary man like Mr. Mitch-
ell?
Now, there was something. Mr.
Mitchell was, after all, nothing
more than a common ordinary
man. Like himself. Built the same
way. Capable of having toothaches
and stomachaches and liking his

eggs fried only on one side. Just a
man.
Ogden tried to picture himself in
Mr. Mitchell’s position. What would
he do if an employee of three years
asked for a raise? What? Why,
he’d look at the matter coldly, im
personally. He’d add things up and
decide whether or not the employee
was worth more to him in dollars
and cents. He’d try to figure out
in his own mind how little he could
get away with paying.
Ah! There was something
now. If you hsked for a raise,
act as though you deserved it.
Give the impression that the
possibility you weren’t worth
more never entered your head.
It was merely a matter of ar
riving at a figure.
People spoke to Ogden when he
entered the office. Then they looked
at him curiously. He wasn’t the
same. He was ill. Or perhaps he
had a hangover. He seemed pale.
His hands trembled when he hung
up his hat. He was sweating. Per
haps he should call a doctor.
A T 9:05 Mr. Mitchell came in,
nodding and speaking to every
one as he always did. Ogden opened
his mouth to reply, but no sound
came.
He wet his lips, started to rise,
sat down again weakly. Mr. Mitch
ell’s door opened. Mr. Mitchell
came out “Ogden!” he yelled, and
his voice had a rasping sound.
Ogden jumped. What had he
done now? Certainly Mr. Mitch
ell acted as though he was go
ing to ball him ont. Perhaps
fire him. Good. Firing would
be a relief. It would settle the
whole problem. He could tell
Helen that he had asked for a
raise and Mitchell had fired
him and it was her fault.
Mr. Mitchell was behind his desk
when Ogden entered.
“Ogden, I’ve been thinking about
you. You've proved yourself val
uable to the firm. That western
deal now. You did a good job. You
have the sort of stuff we need in
this organization. I’m the sort of
man who believes in paying a man
what he's worth. Now, I need a
junior partner. If you’re interested
I’d like to groom you for the post.
You'd start at double your present
salary. Then in a year—Hey! Miss
Ryan! Quick, a glass of water. Og
den’s fainted! Good Lord, call a
doctor!”

W HEN JOHN DEREK first came
to work at Columbia for
“Knock on Any Door,” in which he
shot to stardom, he said “I never
knew a temperamental player to
get anywhere. You don’t have to
worry about my getting that way.”
Perhaps the reason is that he was
born in Hollywood, and that both
his parents are actors. In New
York to help publicize his new pic
ture, the sensational “All the King’s
Men,” Derek wanted to see the
city, but got very little opportunity.
Columbia press agents booked him

Donald Woods, popular leading

made “A Son Comes Home” with
Mary Boland 12 years ago. In re

trating on radio—is currently being
heard as wealthy “Richard Rhine
lander” on “My Friend Irma.” He
plays another rich young man in
“Mr. Music.”
Use of a helicopter as a traveling
camera crane proved to be so ef
fective for chase scenes in “They
Live By Night” that RKO is now
using one regularly as camera car
rying equipment. In this case the
plane also had its value as an aid
to drama; it hovered over the play
ers, to create the feeling of a re
lentless fate pursuing them—and
worked fine.
Joseph Julian, who plays the de
tective, “Sam Cook.” on CBS’s
