Thompson, Pou ltry H u * b.mdmrtn N ew J r r v r y A gricu ltu ra l B utton. — W N U S e rv ie*. Tw o m illion Chnstm as f r e e s com e annually from Wash ington state, where a ranger ( a b o v e ) tags trees fo r cutters (b e lo w ) who leave the stump and low er branches from which a new tree w ill grow. Tlie belt and highest egg produc ers In a flock of poultry almost in variably are those which started the laying year early and got under way during their first three months at a fairly high rate of production. There Is evidence to show that sueff precocity In pullets is largely inherited. Because of this, it is well for practical poultrymen who antici pate producing their own chicks to mark the pullets going Into produc tion in such a way that precocious starters may be Identified later when breeders are chosen. With flocks that are so hatched and reared as to go into egg yield early, it is necessary to know what rate and what amount of produc tion is necessary in order that in dividuals may be termed precocious layers. If the pullets are not man aged under artificial lights, preco cious production might be described as being at least 10 eggs per bird for the first month, 12 per bird for tlie second, and 14 per bird for the third. If the pullets are managed under artificial lights and are given a 13- hour lighted day and the proper management to go with it, these minimum production figures might be expected to rise by one egg for the first month, two eggs for the second month, and two or three eggs for the third month. These standards furnish poultry- men with a guide by which to judge any of their pullets. Records bet ter than these minimum standards are, of course, to be accepted as indicating still greater values. Rec ords under these standards, how ever. must be taken as indicating a lack of inherited capacity for pre cocious laying, or early starting. One must be sure, of course, that failure to get under way early and with a rapid production rate is not due to mistakes of management, feeding, weather or any other en vironmental factors which have some bearing on egg yield. While selecting breeders by their degree of precocity is valuable, it must be borne in mind that, after all. the progeny test is the very best method of measuring a breeder's value.

Paul, veterinary medicine staff, of fers tips which will help to get pigs through this period. During the course of the disease, which is usually four or flve days, the pigs should be kept in clean, dry quarters, with plenty of room to prevent piling and crowding. There should also be ample ventilation, but no drafts, stresses Dr. Kern- kamp. Pigs should have access to fresh water and wholesome, easily digested feed. Pigs will usually re fuse feed, but those that do eat will be helped. Swine flu is a contagious disease, and while not confined to pigs of any age or size, it occurs more clten among pigs from 5 to 12 months old. It usually spreads through a herd very rapidly, and is characterized by marked depression and weak ness, labored breathing, high tem perature. rapid loss of weight, re fusal to eat, and some coughing. Unless secondary lung complica tions develop, pigs will usually re cover in a week, though it is ex tremely important to give them the right kind of care.

PENCIL THEN T H E elegance * of the past is being revived Kmm- in fashions of today. Fabrics as sumptu ous as looms can pro duce, luxurious furs, resplendent jewelry, glamorous accesso ries. plus a lavish- ment of glittering em broidery. dcsignful applique, cun ning quilted m otif and other ornate handiwork declare fashion to be in the "dress-up” mood of "a lady." Yes, and the term "la d y " has been revived along with other elegancies of the past. Fabrics especially bespeak a new era of elegance. There is that state ly something, that “ stand-alone” quality about the new silks that re flect the glories of the romantic past. Again our gowns and our wraps are being made of stiff "stand alone" moires and heavy silk otto mans and failles. Again the sweet music of rustling taffeta is heard, and again rich brocades and scin tillating metal cloths are fashioning the stunning new jacket blouses so beloved this season. Velvets of grand and glorious texture, tailored for daytim e suits and for night, sweeping through ballroom with queenly grace are a present fabric highlight Commensurate with the oeauty of these handsome materials Is the lav ish embellishment of embroidery and other ornamentation that adorns this season's modes. The trio of high-style fashions pictured expresses admirably the new feel ing for decoration that now pre vails. The dress of green silk can ton crepe centered in the foreground foretells of dinner parties and thea ter engagements such as a winter season is sure to bring forth. The sleeves are the new three-quarter length. Note also the fashionable high shoulder line. The gold em broidery that enhances this costume is typical of the new trimming trends. And the ostrich muff! A muff is inevitable this season. You'll be carrying a muff with your tai lored suit or coat by day and by night. Matching ostrich feathers in the hair of the young socialite pic tured add to her endearing charms. Smart for dinner and theater wear is the black silk crepe dress with a fitted long-sleeve jacket heavily bead-embroidered as illustrated to the right in the group. Note the pert squared shoulders. The sim ple dress underneath is unbelted and is worn with a large gold pin at the neckline. The afternoon dress shown to the left is of rust uncut silk velvet with triangle shirring at the waistline. Gold leaf embroidery extends across the flattering bateau neckline with particular accent on shoulder inter e s t A persian velvet turban and a velvet bag add beguiling finesse. One of the most pleasing fashions promoted this season is the after noon dress styled of fine quality- kind silk crepe on whatever mate rial you may choose, the sleeves of which are entirely and elaborately allover embroidered. With a touch of embroidery at the waistline and wearing clips or other costume jew elry at the simple untrimmed neck line, you’ll be gowned most becom ingly. € Western Newspaper Union. G a y Campus Knits Indian Beadwork Popular in Paris Beadwork is once again poking it self into the fashion foreground. Old Indian Joe himself would grunt with surprise if he happened along the Avenue Victor Hugo and saw a cer tain beaded b elt wide, supple and fringed and tasseled at its ends. Only non-Indian feature of the belt is the fact that its beaded design is more like an old French tapes try than a N avajo rug! Another bit of beadwork seen on the boulevards is a beaded bolero jacket with solid turquoise back ground and a geometric pattern of gay colors made more brilliant by the addition of a few violet sequins.

Some need a hint while others need a kick to make good their I. O. U ’s. The owner of that North Carolina store the kids called “ OLD M AN CASH.” What the grown-ups called him, I dunno. It was said that he was a mind reader because he was always able to arrange to be at the spot where you bad to look at that sign, and him, too. when you wanted credit. His cold stare and that sign caused stuttering of “ the promise to pay tomorrow.” It was told that some could not even utter the stutter when facing him and his sign. In later years, after his retirement, speaking of his experience, he said, “ There was a tim e when I waa a Santa Claus and some folks seemed to think every day was December twenty-fifth, and no week had a pay day and no month, a first. It was then I decided to change my store habits and If possible the habits of some of m y towns-people.” After thinking things over awhile. I made op my mind to adver tise. I reasoned it oot that a general alarm in the W E E K L Y , the only paper in town, to tell about my store, the goods and the new policy of paying, would hit everybody and it would help me save shame-faces— some might feel sheepish while reading my adver tisements and have a heart.
