PINCHOT GIVES I
HUNTING RULES
Harrisburg. Pa. — (UP) — Gov
ernor Gifford Pinchot, ardent
sportsman, lias released his “code

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.”

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.
Broken Heart
Causes Rooster’s Death
Hayward, Cal. — <UP) — Tokio,
celebrated Japanese rooster who
obtained fame and fortune for his

Tckio was famed because of his
Ability to maintain a single crow

His death was attributed to a
broken heart after a bronchial af

I WISH THAT IT WERE SPRING.
I don’t know what to write about—
Can't think of anything,
Except, the while r watch it sleet,
I wish that it were spring.
I wish—but wait! for wishes are
The post’s staple pap;
And if he can’t make rhymes of
them,
He’s just a poet sap.
So let me shut my eyes a bit
And beg the gentle muse
To picture forth a May like day,
On which I may enthuse.
Ah, now I’m really seeing it
In lights a poet should!
I shiver and I drop the thought—
To stoke the stove with wood.
But now I’m getting it again
And pen in hand I take—
To lay it down to go and fetch
Some water from the lake.
And so T guess I’ll give it up—
Can't think of anything,
Except, the while I watch it sleet,
I wish that it were spring.

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.

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.

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

not only the type and conformation
but also the condition of flesh. The
