Pullets Should Be Well Fed.
Withholding feed, mash partic
ularly, :s making culls out of laying
hens and a bunch of scrawny runts
out of the growing chicks.
"Full feeders kept before the
chicks will do more to prevent dis
ease and control worms than all the
remedies on the market," says Joe
Claybaugh, poultry specialist from
the Agricultural College.
The low price of eggs has discour
aged poultry raisers, as a result they
are letting the pullets rustle for
themselves. This will result in a
thin, immature flock of pullets this
fall. Early pullets well cared for
should be into good production by the
last of November. If they have not
been fed liberally, they will go into
the laying house very much under
weight in size. The result will be
that they will not get into produc
tion until January or February.
Making Good Progress.
The paving crew which are put
ting in the concrete pavement be
tween the I'nion corner and Nebras
ka City, are making good progress
and at the close of work on Tuesday
were at the countv line and it is
expected that by the fore part of
next week they will be at the end
of the old pavement east of. Un

then either be moved to Wyoming
or may be determined to keep it
where it is at Union and haul the
materials via the bridge west of town
and thus save the moving of the
loading chutes and not have to seek
anofher place to load and to rebuild
new chutes.
New York The bond market
moved back and forth last week with
in an extremely narrow range and
trading on the whole was moderate.
The average closing price for thirty
representative issues, consisting of
ten bonds each of public utilities,
railroad and industrial companies,
affords a quck concise view of the
market's price movements. The aver
age on Saturday was 95.9 compared
with 96.0 on Friday. July 3. Fluc
tuations among the great bulk of do
mestic corporate loans were of the
narrowest sort most of the time.
However, the foreign group, especial
ly the German issues, contributed its
quota to the week's developments.
The trend in the latter was pretty
steadily downward. The German 5
1-L's and 1965 with sales approxi
mating $2,500,000 at par value was
the most active issue by a wide mar
gin. The nervous action of these ob
ligations was only one fact indicative
of the apprehension over the finan
cial outlook for that nation. Other
foreign obligations declined irregularis

With the exception of events in
Germany the outlook for the market

More For Your Grain.
Hogs and cattle will probably pay
more for wheat than the elevators
according to recent feeding tests con
ducted at the Nebraska Agricultural
College.
The tests showed that it takes 6
bushels of wheat, 24 pounds of tank
age and sudan grass pasture to pro
duce a hundred pounds of gain on
hogs. Taking out forty cents for
pasture and 75 cents for tankage
leaves $4.85 which six dollar hogs
would pay for 6 bushels of wheat,
the work and the overhead expense
of raising the hogs. Five dollar hogs
net on the farm, would pay $3. So,
and four dollar hogs would net $2.85.
Further tests showed there is
nothing to the idea that wheat makes
lower grade pork than corn. In all
the comparisons, the wheat fed hogs
graded as high and in some cases
higher than corn fed hogs.
Heavy two year old steers on 65
day feeding test last fall put on 100
pounds of gain with 380 pounds of
cracked shelled corn, 197 pounds of
cracked wheat and 157 pounds of
alfalfa hay. They were given a grain
ration of two-thirds corn and one
third wheat and they seemed to like
it better than similar cattle liked
corn alone. Such steers, bringing
six cents net on the farm, would pay
$5.25 for the grain, work and over-
expense on each hundred
pounds of gain. Without including
would amount to over nrty cents a
bushel for the ground corn and
wheat.
CLAIMS FACTS SUPPRESSED
Will Meet Friday.
The Woman's Auxiliary of the
Episcopal church will meet Friday
July 17th, with Mrs. W. E. Reynolds
when they will look after the busi
nes which calls them together and
also will enjoy a social hour as well.
Restaurant Changes Management.
The Ira Clark restaurant which
has been opera'ed by Mrs. Clark and
their son, with the assistance of Mr.
Clark whenever he could get away
from the barber shop, and which
has entailed to much strain on Mrs.
Clark, and keeping both she and
Mr. Clark worn out. It has been
judged therefore better to lease the
place to someone else, and so the
cafe has been placed under the man
agement of Stacey Niday, who is a
young man, who is a hustler, and
will be conducted jointly by he and
Mr. Clark, altho Mr. Niday will have
the management of the place.
Not Afraid of Snakes.
Some campers from Omaha were
located at the picnic grounds and
while it was reported that there was
a large snake there it did not frigh
ten them, but when informed that
there was a cross bull in the pasture
they made their getaway in double
quick time.
How About the Old Settlers.
There was a call for a meeting of
those interested in the matter of
having the Old Settlers picnic which
was to have been for Saturday night,
and no one appeared for the meet
ing. So again there is a call for the

Washington Suppression of facts
and falsification of figures used in
computing the "balance of interna
tional payments" issued a week ago
by the commerce department was
charged by Dr. Ray O. Hall, former
department official, in a letter to Sec
retary Laraont. He accused the de
partment of suppressing facts show
ing the United States alternately in
flating and deflating the world.
Statements as to prohibition's effect
on tourist travel to anada and the
influence of the Snioot-Hawley tariff
on merchandise imports also were
suppressed he asserted. Hall, until a
month ago assistant chief of the de
partment's division of finance and
investment, prepared the economic
study of international trade and
computed intangible as well as tang
ible items that go into it. He was
discharged after a heated dispute
with Dr. Grosvenor Jones, head of
the division.

The telegram to the Putman fam

Lieutenant Deutermann which said
simply "Your services will not be re
quired this afternoon." Lieutenant
Colonel Putman said: "There is

Mother's Vacation Camp.
Even tho times are hard, mother
should have a three day vacation
this summer, Miss Mary-Ellen Brown,
in charge of women's extension work
at the agricultural college, says. It
is generally the mother in the fam
ily who must keep up the morale of
the group.
1931 Mothers vacation camps have
been planned with that fact in mind.
The programs will be more inspir
ational than ever this year. The
three days of pure enjoyment should
help any mother cheer up her chil
dren and help her husband "get
along" while prices of farm products
are low.
Local women will attend the camp
at Brewster on August 11 to 14.
Four days vacation for $4.75. En
rollment blanks may be secured at
the Farm Bureau office.

To Make the Jelly "Jell."
Three-fourths cup of sugar per
cup of fruit is about the right pro
portion for good jelly, Florence J.
Atwood of the Agricultural College
says. Too much sugar makes a soft
syrup jelly, to little sugar results in
tough jelly of poor flavor, Cane and
beet sugar are the same chemically,
and both give satisfactory results.
Rapid boiling produces a clear
jelly. The kettle should hold four
to Ave times as much as the amount
of mixture to be boiled, and a large
flat bottomed kettle is better than
deep one. The mixture should be
stirred until the sugar is idssolved,
then boiled rapidly until the mixture

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
HUDSON IS A MATCHMAKER
Hermost Beach, Cal. Mr. and
Mrs. G. Edward Hudson, the latter
the mother of Aimee Semple McPher
son, fled their honeymoon cottage
here following an invasion of re
porters, photographers, friends and
idly curious. They sought the cot
tage after their return from their re
cent marriage at Longview, Wash.
Mrs. Hudson declined to reveal their
destination, but as her husband
placed the last bags in their auto
mobile, she gave out a few items of
news. In December, she said, she ex
pected to become a great grand
mother, the happy event being antic
ipated, in the home of Mrs. Roberta
Semple Smythe, Mrs. McPherson's
daughter.
And Hudson has entered enthu
siastically into his wife's plans to
find a husband for Mrs. McPher
son. Hudson said he even had the
husband picked out a personal
friend, he amplified, whose introduc
tion to the famous evangelist he in
tends to negotiate as soon as pos
sible.
The subject of the Lesson-Sermon
read at all Christian Science churches
and societies on Sunday, July 12,
was "Sacrament." The citations read
are intended to show that Jesus use
of bread and wine at the last supper,
when considered consistently with
all his other works and deeds, was
a concession made for that occasion
to indicate and emphasize the neces
sity for his followers here to live
or partake of the life of Christ, thus
experiencing the baptism of divine
Spirit, for which true spiritual pur
gation there can be no symbolical
substitute. One of the citations read
from "Science and Health with Key
to Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy
(p. 4). reads in part: "To keep tho
commandments of our Easter and
follow his example, is our proper
debt to him and the only worthy evi
dence of our gratiturle for all that
he h:s done." A nart of one Biblical
selection is as follows: "If ye be re
proached for the name of Christ.
happy are ye; for the spirit of glory
and of God resteth upon you: on
their part he is evil spoken of. but
on your part he is glorified." (I Peter
4:14).
