PINCHOT GIVES I HUNTING RULES Harrisburg. Pa. — (UP) — Gov ernor Gifford Pinchot, ardent sportsman, lias released his “code for hunters" for thousands of Pennsylvania hunters. Among his “do’s and “dont’s’' recommended for better hunting and more friendly feeling with the farmers whose lands are invaded were: “ Ask permission to hunt and respect the farmers' rights. “Land owned by others is pri vate property and the huntaer's li cense grants no special privilege. “Don’t shoot into a lake, pond, or stream just to see the water splash. “Don’t shoot the farmer's poul try. “Don't tramp across a field of I winter wheat when the ground is soft. “When a rabbit runs under a rail pile or stone fence, forget it. “Replace what ycu have torn down. And that applies to fodder shocks In corn fields. “When game goes in the dlrcc t.on of occupied buildings, or live stock, forget that you have a gun. “Don’t practice target shooting. “Dont neglect to thank the cwmer or lessee of tha land on which you hunt.” Your Children By Olive Roberts Barton gllc'S? BY NEA SERVICE INC. TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO TREAT ANIMALS A few days ago I watched seme little children with a dog The dog was old and very tired. He didn’t run about as his mistress .stopped here and there in her play, but sat down and hung his head as old dogs do. Pretty soon another little girl came along on skates. She put her two hands on the shaggy head head and pressed it down hard. Old Shop lay down to protect him self from the new nuisance that had come to pester him. She skated around him but never missed his toes by more than half an inch. He didn't budge, tut he knew those skates were too close. The first little girl tugged at his collar to pull him up. But up ha would not get. He had seen the group of little boys a few houses away down ths street and he felt safer where he was. More Trouble Arrives Eut the boys spied him and here they were coming now, bent for mischief, scooter, tricycle and all And screaming like a lot of Apaches. '•Hello, Shop!" Shep blinked bloodshot eyes and locked very inhospitable. He got up slowly and began to stalk off, but the one on the scooter blocked him. “Stay here,” he shouted, then he ran head-on into the dog to push him back. Shep grumbled deep in his throat. His small mistress grab bed him by the collar and sat on him until he gradually flattened out again on the sidewalk. “And don’t you growl either,” she scold ed. “Be a good dog.” * Now the. acrobat on the tricycle hadn’t performed, so he backed and ran the side wheel of his tiny r.teed over Shep’s tail that lay con spicuously inert on the cement. Shep half rose with another growl, them fell back again. He was entirely surrounded now by the teasing, hilarious mob of youngsters. The little girl with the skates lifted one foot and ran the wheels up and down the dog’s spine. He turned and snapped at the foot. “Huh! I thought your mother said he was safe” She retreated to a distance and then rolled away home to tell. “I wouldn’t have a cross dog like that.” The little boy with the scooter ye.1 led. "I’m not afraid,” and ran Into the shaggy figure broadside, and over Shep’s rheumatic south east paw. Another Near-Victim Again the dog snapped ferocious ly at one of the little legs so close to his head. In fact, a tooth caught the r.b of the stocking and tore a small hole. “Uh, huh! Uh, huh! I'm going to tell, too,” v/arned the culyprit, scooting away. That evening Shop’s owner had several irate telephone calls de manding his removal or demise. "He almost bit my child,” accused the voices. If he had, he would have been shot. As it Is he is being sent to a farm. He has always been called the children’s friend. Too bad Part of every child’s early training should be how to treat animels. Tco few know anything about common decency to pets.

Appel. These stations are super vised by the State Emergency Be lief Board and supported by Fed eral funds. During one week 989,000 quarts of milk were distributed through these stations, and 30,900 quarts through the 19 state milk stations iinanced from a portion of the money received from the State Capitol Employes’ Fund for Or ganized Charity. -♦ + - — Trust Fund Aids Needy Texas Sick Dallas, Tex. — (UP) — A little known beneficence of the late U S. Senator Charles A Culber son results each year in recon structed brdie.s of 35 of 50 Texans unable to pay for medical or hos pital care. Culberson established a $25,000 trust fund in 1925, directing that semi-annual interest of $700 be given Baylor Hospital, Dallas, “to help to life and new hope” per sons needing medical attention. When persons aided are re leased from the hospital they are given a letter stating the facts of Culberson’s life and asking that they speak kindly concerning him. No other repayment is exacted for the aid given them. Culberson went to the Senate as a young man, after serving as governor in the late ’90s, and re mained in that body until his death. He was the son of David Culberson, who sst in the Senate from Texas when the state was young. The younger Culberson was known as a champion of prohibi tion and Jaw and order. He onca pi evented a prize fight at Dallas while governor. Cigaret Smuggling Harasses Cus'oms Men Vergennes, Vt. — (UP) — Cigaret smuggling is harassing interna tonal boundary guards. American-made cigarets, retail ing at about 13 cents a package, are run into Canada, where they bring 30 to 45 cents per package. Theft of 50,000 cigarets from a chain store here recently was at tributed to a smuggling ring. € ' 4 "W Auburn, M.

National Park Air Route Carried 2,399 Great Falls, Mont. —(UP)— A total of 2,399 passengers was car ried by the National Parks Air ways along its route from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Great Falls, according to the 1932 report of the company. This total v.as but 50 less than that of 1931, it was said. There were 2,023,603 pieces of air mail carried on the line during the year, approximately 500,000 less than in 1931. Air express shipments, however, made a start ling increase from 35 packages in 1931 to C88 in 1932, partially due to lowered rates on such ship ments. Every plane in the company's service was completely rebuilt during the year. A total of 729,754 miles was flown by pilots along the route during the year, an in crease of 93,890 miles over the 1931 total. «♦ - —. True Love. Prom Lustige Kolner Zeitung.

SOV BEAN TORK It is usually good practice to grow an abundance of high protein | roughage and grain crops for bal ancing the carbohydrate grains of j corn, barley and oats. Soybeans are ; one of the high protein grains the j (acreage of which has Increased very Irapidlv in recent years. In one state their cultivation increased from 20, 000 in 1926 to 110,000 in 1930. In lanother, the acreage Increase has been still larger and the total acre age is much larger. The one char acteristic of this crop more than any other that has caused its rapid spread throughout the corn belt is its ability to grow and flourish and produce a lot of valuable protein on soil too acid for the successful [production of common red clover, , alfalfa and sweet clover. The man j with sour soils, who is not In posi tion to swetten them with lime, naturally turns to soybeans both as a hay and grain crop for balan cing his livestock feeding rations. While soybeans produce a high quality protein, they also contain a j high percentage of a very soft fat i or oil. Unfortunately, this oil Is not [ suited for pork production — a fact i that 1ms been definitely proved in recent years. Soybeans fed as a pro tein carrier with corn, oats or barley, to hogs, produce soft, oily pork (which can be sold only at a large discount as compared with pork produced from feed that does not 'contain a high percentage of fat. Soybean oil meal — produced from soybeans after the oil has been extracted — makes an excellent protein concentrate for all kinds of livestock, including hogs. Packers are complaining at tho rapid in crease in soft hogs in recent years, due to feeding soybeans both ground and whole or cooked. Any form of soybeans is detrimental to pork production. By all means avoid It. Soybeans both in the form of grain and hay may be fed to all other livestock, but do not use the beans for hogs. Unfortunately, softness of carcass can not be determined be fore the hog is slaughtered. If it could, the packers would discrimin ate against that kind to tha extent of $2 to $3 per cwt. The result is that as soon as packer buyers dis cover that hogs from certain areas are more apt to be soft than those (from other sections, they are com pelled to discriminate against all (hogs that coma from soybean feed ing sections. To maintain a good reputation for our pork, we must 'refrain from feeding soybeans to ^our hogs. Let every farmer take this matter seriously and not do himself, as well as his neighbors, an injury by slipping soft pork hogs over on 'the packer, who is bound to protect jhimself against such contingencies as soon as they are discovered. SUN PORCIir.S FOR CHICKS Wire-floored sun porches for brooder houses are being more ■widely used each year. They are of greatest value forthe February or (March-hatched chicks. If the runs tore contaminated with coccidosis, they are a first necessity for suc cessful brooding, whether the chicks be early or late. Wire-floored runs treed not be very large to be ef fective. A run six feet wide along (the south front of the brooder house 'usually is large enough. In cases .where the chicks must be confined for eight or more weeks, due to ex tremely early haching or to extra Serious parasite infestation, a wire *run 10 feet wide will suffice till the 'cockerels can be marketed. Hard ware cloth of half-inch mesh s the 'most favored floor. Many poultry jmen also are finding it desirable for sides of the run. since cats or other animals find it an effective jbarrier. This flooring is raised slightly above the ground to keep the birds from picking up infection through the mesh. These fire ifloored sun porches should have poultry netting tops that can be (lifted off or tilted up readily. Lum ber or insulating board partitions or Walls should be installed for pro tection against wind. They are es sential for the east and west ends of the porch, and are believed very desirable for the south for use on (days when there is a south wind. If properly made and installed, the sun porches will be used by the (chicks even on cold days, provided they can run back to the brooder’s heat whenever they wish. Not only do wire-floored sun porches reduce the risk of coccldia, worms and dis ease. but the problem of toe and feather picking is much less trouble some. HEATING POULTRY HOUSES In sections of the country where Cold weather is accompanied by (much dampness, there is consider able difficulty in obtaining good (ventilation unless the poultry house (and its ventilating system are prop erly designed. In any ventilating system fresh air must be taken into jthe house, and where this fresh air is damp the house itself is apt to be damp. A little heat in the house helps to correct this condition, frhere are different ways of supply ing this heat. One is a hot-water (system with the heater in a small room at the end of the house and hot-water pipes running under the droppings boards. Another is by placing an ordinary coal stove or PICTURES AID SELLING A few of the leadng breeders of purebred sheep in this country have found that good pictures are very valuable in selling sheep. A farmer, vho has handled pure-bred sheep for a good many years, has noted from his correspondence during the past few years that a high per centage of breeders who write for Frees and descriptions of sheep will ask for pictures. A good picture of a sheep, together with information on the breeding, it weight and grade of wool as well as weight of fleece and sample of fleece, will give a a brooder stove in the center of the house, with a natal protection around it to prevent fire and to keep the birds from getting too near It. A third way is to have hot wntcr pipes clear along the rear wall just above the floor. A method that is being tried by many is to lay the pipes three to four Inches below the surface of the floor. If the Uoor Is concrete, the pipes must be placed below the concrete; they cannot be placed right in it. for the heat will crac k the cement. Hie idea of this system is to heat the floor slightly In order to keep It dry, a hnrd thing lo do In some sec tions. Where heat is used, keep the temperature of the laying house about 40 to 45 degrees; the heat need not be turned on until the temperature outside takes a bad drop. MILK FOK LAYING HENS The late full period. November and December, makes it necessary for the poultrj man and flock owner to watch their biids closely. There is apt to be a drop in production and in some flocks a partial molt Other flocks are apt to be slow in starting to lay, for no apparent reason at all. In most cases it Is a matter of condition; birds may not be up to proper weight They may have been in good llenh when they stared to lay, but a loo heavy production with and insufficient consumption of grain may have caused a slight loss of weight, re sulting in a partial molt. If this Is the case, an additional pound or two of grain per 100 birds per day may be fed. In the case of pullets that have not yet started to lay, it may be a matter of Insufficient mash consumption. Besides adding additional feed hoppers, some other means may be necessary to start the birds eating mash. Milk in some form is a mighty good appetizer. The regular laying mash may bo moistened with milk until it is erumbly and fed once a day, about 2 lbs. per 100 birds. Or an addi tional 5 to 10 per cent of dried milk or dried buttermilk may be added to the mash, depending on the composition of the mash, and the mash moistened with water un til a crumbly mixture is obtained. Or semi-solid buttermilk may be fed in paste form once n day in a small trough or on a slab of wood at the rate cf about 3 to 4 lbs. per loo birds. PASTURE INVALUABLE Every experienced hog producer is pretty well acquainted w,th the val ue of pasture for hogs “An acre of good alfalfa,’’ said an authority on animal nutrition recently "will pro duce right around 500 pounds of pork, in addition to tha gain that may be credited to other feed that Is given” That means a good income for these, days. Another way of-look ing at the value of an ai folia or rape heg pasture is that is saves higli-protcin feed, which is a nec essary supplement to corn and other farm grains for pork production. That is to say, where normally a pig. self-fed on grain and a protein supplement consumes about 50 pounds of the latter per hundred pound of gam is supplied with a good pasture, the supplement COnsumpeion will be reduced to 25 pounds. Then, too, It is much easier to avoid disease and worm infesta tion in pigs raised on clean pasture than if they arc brought up and fed in an old dry lot contaminated with all sorts of disease germs from previous generations. In using pas tures for pigs, especially ro with alfalfa or clover, It Is usually more satisfactory to use a larger acreage than the hogs can keep down, and then cut the surplus for hay, than to turn in enough to keep it closely pastured through the whole reason. There is no doubt but most farm ers fail to give the attention to pastures, whether for cattle, sheep or hogs, that their impor tance Justifies. We are not as pasture conscious in this coun try as we ought to be. WATCII TEMPERATURE Many flock owners believe that late April or early May chicks are easier to brootl in an ordinary brooder house than those hatched a month or six weeks earlier. While it is true that such chick* will require fire a much shorter jieriod. avoiding overheating and chilling requires greater care during the first month. The problem is this: A brooder house with the fire regu lated to keep the chicks comfort able during a mild to ecol May night, can become a regular fur nace in an hour or two of bright sunlight, with windows and doer closed. Under such conditions, over heating with injury to the "babies’* is very early. The reverse is also true. A day that calls for a cold s'. and wide-open v/indows and doors, to make life bearable for the chicks, may change in an hour to a cloudy day with sudden drop in temperature. The result is piling, chilling and even Iocs of chicks un less the caretaker Is on the JoFx Late chicks have many advantages, and without question can be tarried through the first few nninths at lower costs, blit the problem of brooder house temperatures during the first month ain't easy to handle satisfactorily. , prospective buyer all the infer mn ton he needs. The picture will chow not only the type and conformation but also the condition of flesh. The cost oi pictures is very rearonable and the breeder should have a cam era of his own. The post-card-sixe picture is possibly best because it will go into the standard-sine en velope. Pictures are not only valu able in soli ng puru-bred sheep but will apply to any class of puro-bred livestock. -4 4 Don’t worry and hurry the fat hog. Injury will result.
