C. If ; I / , I 1 Raise More Chickens 1 ______ [By Miss Hattie McMurray] Why not increase our poultry production ? It can easily he done and should be since it is one of the best sources of human food. Standard bred poultry will bring greater returns than mixed breds. The Barred Plymouth Rocks. White Wyandottes and Rhode 'island Reds are considered the best for general home use. Try at least one sitting and prove to - ? ^ | yourself that tney are most pruuiauic. Early spring is nature's most favj orable growing season. By hatching chicks early they will have the advantage of this favorable growing season and a longer growing period than those hatched during the late spring and early summer. The rate of growth of a chick is greater during the first four weeks of its life than any other period. Therefore, other conditions being equal, the more favorable the period the greater will be the rate of 1 gl'OWin curing yci iuvi. Hatch Early?Ten Reason Why 1. Hatch as early in spring as con1 ditions will permit. 2. Early hatched chicks grow rapidly and have more vigor. 3. Early hatched chicks are strong i and less liable to die from lice and i disease. ! .4. Early hatched chicks have a longer growing season. 5. Hot weather retards growth of chicks. 6. Early hatched chicks mature by | early fall. 7. Mature pullets produce fall and winter eggs. 8. Fall and winter eggs bring the highest prices. 9. Early hatched pullets lay while hens are moulting. 10. Early hatched pullets are the ones that become broody eariy xne following spring. Books on the feeding and care of chicks can be had at the office of the Home Demonstration agent, Kingstree. o The Origin Of Woman A magazine writer consumes considerable space in trying to prove that it is wrong to teach that woman was made from Adam's rib. He says the proposition is ridiculous, and while it may have been well enough to teach it in the dim and distant past, we ought to be ashamed of ourselves for sticking to the "superstition." , If our own idea or belief of the I origin of woman is a superstition, then it is quite as good a superstition | as other people have. For ours is not the only theory of the origin of woman. Many other people have many other theories or superstitions. The Australian natives believe that woman was once a toad?and that isn't very nice. If it is true, however, it shows what a wonderful creature the toad was transformed into and we can rejoice thereat. Then, the Laplanders believe that woman was once a rabbit, and since a rabbit is more likeable than a toad, we prefer the Laplandsuperstition to the Australian. The Japanese believe that woman grew from a tree?and that is getting along still better. The feathery blossoms of the trees, with their color and their perfume, seem more nearly -4-1? icAmonlinn/l I approacrnng uie icaim ui nuNiunuwu than do rabbits or toads. Hut if ever we are compelled to give up our idea that woman was made from thi^ rib of man. we are going to accept the Persian theory. That is by all odds the ptettiest one, and the one we could more easily believe than any other. The Persians assert that woman fell from heaven. ?Columbus Dispatch. o INCREASE OF SUICIDES Of The Prefessions, Lawyers Lead The List in United States Since the signing of the armistice there has been a constantly increasing number of suicides everywhere, according to a report issued by the Save-a-Life League.

The calf wad permitted to roam at will over the farm because it protected the chickens against hawks, says Gerlock. ?very time a hawk would flash down from the sky to grab off a chicken, the calf was on the job, ready to give and frequently there were fierce fights between the calf and hawks. One day lately Lieutenant Goodrich. from San Francisco, was flying over the farm in an airplane, when ins engine went tieaa, ana ne was The Righ Ferl The quality and yi< is materially af of plant , \ snA/Mallv nr?
