DEMAND FOR FAT CHICKENS
Annual Report of Prof. Grahrm of On-
tario Agricultural College Gives
Interesting Figures.
The following ia a part of tbe last
annual report of Prof. Graham of tbe
Oi.tarlo agricultural college:
"There Is an Increasing demand for
well-fatted chickens; In fact tbe de-
mand exceed3 tbe supply and dealers
find themselves forced to fatten tbe
thin live chickens offered in the mar-
kets In order to get the supply of fat-
ted chickens required by the trade.
Dealers Inform me they cad pay high
rentals for buildings and have sour
milk or buttermilk shipped In by ex-
press and yet have a nice margin of
profit Surely our growers could do
this cheaper. ' ' . .'
"During the past year t .Is depart-
ment has bad over 60 different Indi-
viduals fatten chickens and nearly ev-
eryone has been successful. Tbe av-
erage bird gained about one pound In
two weeks' feeding. Each bird on the
average consumed four pounds of
grain and six pounds of milk for the
pound of gain made. Poor gains were
made from Leghorns Hamburgs and
such cockerels. These birds made fair
broileri but unsatisfactorily roasters.
T1.4 ration used consist '. of one-third
each of finely-ground oats buckwheat
and corn. This was mixed to tbe con-
sistency of pancake batter with sour
milk or buttermilk. Tbe birds are fed
lightly during the first few days or un-
til their appetites become keen after
which tbe ration is gradually increas-
ed to all they will eat But two feeds
a day are given and aa near equal
parts as possible. The chickens will
readily eat by lamplight If there Is a
secret to tbe process at all. It la In
Liver overfeeding but giving all they
will consume."

KILLING CATTLE TICK
Host of Insect Is Animals of Bo-
vine Species.
Where Large Number of Cattle Are
Maintained Spraying Is Best Meth-
do of Destroying Injurious
Little Parailte.
(By A. M. 80ULE. Georgia Agricultural
College.)
It is unnecessary to detail to the
thoughtful farmer tbe material advan-
tages which tbe south offers for live
stock production In the matter of a
desirable climate an abundance of
suitable feed and a well watered
country. . Tbe average man from the
north and west on bis Initial visit to
tbe south is astonished to find so many
advantages for tbe Industry evidenced
on every hand and to witness so lit-
tle progress In its development The
cause Is not far to seek. Large num-
bers of the choicest animals brought
Into tbe United States in early times
came directly to the south but they all
suffered a rapid and almost complete
extermination. Finally it was definite-
ly determined that the trouble was
due to the infestation of the animals
by what Is now known as cattle tick.
Nearly all of the states are fighting
the tick and Georgia has already
cleaned up some of her infested coun-
ties and it is believed others will be
released from quarantine In the next
few years.
What the destruction of the tick
means to the live stock Industry few
can picture. It la costing our state
In the neighborhood of $5000000 an-
nually. We cannot build up a cattle
business until the tick Is completely
vanquished. The tick Is the real cause
of bloody muraln Texas fever and red
water names- locally given to tbe
trouble resulting from Infestation of
cattle by this parasite. The Investiga-
tions made relative to the relation of
the tick to the destruction of cattle
have been so thorough complete and
exhaustive as to leave no ground for
further doubt
When the tick attacks cattle germs
enter the blood and lncreaae In num-
ber until they destroy the greater
part of the red corpuscles. This low-
ers the vitality and restricts the
growth of tbe animal and in the case
of milk cows the flow of milk is ma-
terially reduced. Milk represents the
surplus energy and vitality of the
cow and any agency which reduces
these lessens the ability to give
milk. Tbe loss to the dairy Industry
on this account Is very great and bas
done more to bold It In check than any-
thing el6e. When ticks attack fat-
tening animals they lengthen the time
required for development and for ma-
turity and hence Increase the cost of
production. The cattle tick prevents
effectually the bringing in of good pure-
bred animals for the improvement of
our native stock for an animal which
Is brought into a section where ticks
are found and has not had the fever
will suffer an attack and tbe chances
are it will die. At least tbls has been
the history of Importations up to the
present time. Our native animals are
of a low grade giving but a compar-
atively small yield of milk maturing
alowly and not producing the quantity
and quality of meat desirable in ani-
mals of the beef-type. These char-
acters can only be changed through
tbe use of pure-bred sires and they
cannot be freely Imported until the
tick Is destroyed. At present time
animals from the tick country are put
in quarantine pens where they com-
mand lower prices than animals from
the north because of their poor qual-
ity. This often amounts to as much
as three dollars a head or anywhere
from $60 to $90 a car.
The host of the tick Is the cow or

seven and thirty days is Bald to beat
that of any other cow in the world
as does her 80-day butter test 145.13
pounds.
Ibis wonderful cow consumes no
metre feed than a scrub that will not
prcduce enough milk and butter to
other animals of the bovine species
and If the tick can be kept from get-
ting on tbelr boats they will starve to
death. Tbls being true methods of
eradication have been devised which
have proved very effective when put
Into practical operation.
One may pick the ticks from the
animals before they have obtained
tbelr growth. This prevents a new
crop from developing. This method
is only practicable where there are
few animals on the farm. Another
method where a limited number of cat-
tle are treated Is to sponge or brush
them with crude petroleum cottonseed
oil or equal parts of kerosene and
lard. Where the pastures are badly
infested . this treatment should be
pursued every ten or twelve days care
being taken to smear the tall and
legs thoroughly. When a large num-
ber of cattle are maintained spraying
in a chute is the best method of de-
stroying the ticks. Any ordinary
spray pump may be used. On large
plantations a dipping vat should be
constructed. If built of concrete it will
laat Indefinitely and It may be built
by ordinary farm labor. Probably the
most complete and satisfactory meth-
od of destroying ticks is by rotation
of pastures or feed lots. Ticks may be
destroyed in four and a half months
by dividing a part of the farm say
Into four lota. Field A should be a
permanent pasture; field B Is culti-
vated In farm crops and sown In ce-
reals in tbe winter; field C should be
used for soiling crops and field D Is
Bermuda pasture or velvet beans.
Those desiring to secure details of
this plan can do so by applying to the
Georgia College of Agriculture for bul-
letin 147. If the cattle are removed
from permanent pasture A on June 15
and kept off until November 1 It will
be free of ticks and in the meantime
they should be maintained on fields C
and D. Tbe simplicity efficiency and
practicability of this plan which may
be so easily adopted on the greater
part of our farms rendera it one of
tbe most desirable methods of destroy-
ing ticks and It does not Involve much
expense. It Is worth while making the
effort needed to free our lands perma-
nently from this menace to our live
stock Industry.

the Instrument
"Call 4223 Palisade" was p
on It in Miss Clark's neat
writing.
When be bad concluded a
conversation over tbe wire
picked up the memorandum
more.
"Give me 4223 Palisade please'
said.
There was a long wait and then a
tearful feminine voice came over the
wire.
"Is that yon Paul?" it quavered.
"Yes" he replied mystified.
"Well you know who It Is dont
you?" Tbe voice was dangerously
near breaking.
"No I do not" he hesitated.
"Ob dearest please don't be to
stern and unforgiving you know
It's I Mabel."
Now the only Mabel who bad the
right to speak thus Intimately was
Paul Enslow's married sister and at
this moment she waa supposed to be
In the Adlrondacks. Accustomed to
his sister's easily flowing tears Paul
was not greatly disturbed over her
emotion.
"Where are you now?" he asked.
"At Margaret's of course please
don't tease dear."
"Tou know so many Margarets my
dear that I am still In the dark" he
returned patiently. "What is the
matter now Mabel? Has Fldo swal-
lowed a bone or hat Peter neglected
to send his weekly postal card and
you have returned to town to "
"Paul!" In sobbing Indignation.
T am still In tbe dark" he mur-
mured wearily. "Is anything serious
the matter anybody dead?"
"Yes!" she sobbed bitterly. "My
love Is dead!"
"Eh? Not old Peter why I saw
him at luncheon not an hour ago and
he was looking pretty fit Now see
here Mabel old girl. If you can only
stop that Niagara of tears long
enough to explain "
"Never dare speak to me again!"
cut In the girl's voice coldly Indig-
nant and tearless now and the con-
nection was abruptly severed.
Paul leaned back in his chair and
whistled Incredulously. "What Im-
aginary grievance has Mabel got up
her sleeve T" he wondered uneasily.
"Barring Fldo and Peter and myself
in the order of importance there
Isn't a living soul who she has a
right to worry over. What la she
doing in town anyway?"
He lifted the receiver once more to
his ear and Inclined his bead toward
the transmitter.
"Number 4223 Palisade please" he
said for the second time that after-
noon. A servant's voice responded.
"I wish to speak with Mrs. Bliss"
said PauL
"Mrs. Bliss?" returned the servant
in a puzzled tone. "Sure and I'm
thlnkln' you've the wrong number
to IT."
"This Is 4223 Palisade?"
"Yes sorr but there's no Mrs.
Bliss here."
"I was speaking to her only a few
moments ago. Will you make In-
quiries?" "I think I better call Miss May-
nard" returned the girl doubtfully.
"If you will wait a moment "
Paul Enslow was left to his own
puzzled thoughts for several mo-
ments. He opened the telephone di-
rectory and found the name of May-
nard Benjamin Maynard banker
residence 1811 Palisade drive jle-
phone number 4223 Palisade. So far
so good. If Miss Maynard's name
was Margaret she must be one of bis
sister's girl friends of that stately
name.
A sweet low voice sang over the
wrire Into his listening ear. "Yes?"
it said. Inquiringly.
"Is this Miss Maynard?" Paul
found his heart thumping In a most
unaccountable manner.
"Yes" came the reply.
"I am sorry to trouble you. but
ah I am Paul Enslow and"
"Oh. Mr. Enslow. I am so glad you
have called up" she interrupted
hastily. "Poor Mabel Is broken
hearted and Is repacking her trunk
to go home. I'm sure your misunder-
standing can be explained If you will
only come up and see her. I won't
tell her that you are coAlng and you
take her by surprise and" She
paused significantly.
"Thank you very much. Miss May-
nard I will come up at once. I'm
afraid wp're making you a lot of
trouble. I really am anxious about
her." he said.
The girl laughed oddly. "Come up
as soon as you can." she urged and
rang off.
Paul seized his hat and left the
building. As his taxicab rolled up-
town he was puzzling his head about

"Indeed?" said the girl col

the room.
Presently Margaret Maynard sft
before him flushed - and perturbex
holding hit card la her hand. "I'm
afraid there la some mistake Mr.
Enslow" she said; "do sit down and
let us clear up the matter. I thought
I wat talking to Mr. Saul Enslow but
on looking at your card I see that you
are Mr. Paul Enslow let us unravel
the matter."
Paul waa only too willing and after
they bad compared notes and made-
many amusing blunders which)
served only to ripen their acquaint-
ance they disclosed a very pretty
game of cross purposes.
It seemed that Paul Enslow had m
cousin with the embarrassing rbyth
mical appellation of Saul Enslow;
Saul lived In Chicago and was engaged!
to be married to a girl in the Windy
City whose name proved to be Mabel
Blake. Miss Blake had quarreled with
her lover and had gone to visit Mis
Maynard in New York. Saul had fol
lowed Immediately and had stopped
In his cousin's office In the Skytop
building and after finding him ouo
had telephoned to his sweetheart and!
in tbe course of reconciliation bad
quarreled more this time Mr. Ensjow
feeling aggrieved. After his depart-
ure from the office the repentant Ma-
bel had called np that number and
asked that he telephone her when he
returned there being for her but one
Mr. Enslow In the world. Tbe faith
ful Miss Clark had made the proper
memorandum which Paul Enslow bad
found and thereafter had followed
the puzzling conversations.
When the matter had reached this
stage of explanation a servant an-
nounced that Mr. Saul Enslow de-
sired to see Miss Blake and so Mar-
garet still In the role of peacemaker
gave her band once more Into Paul's
warm clasp and smiled at him until
his bead went dizzy and took leave
of him. As he ran down the steps to
the waiting cab he vowed to relieve
himself from the stigma of bachelor
hood at the earliest opportunity.
Those D d Doves.
I remember tbe welcome words of a
friend when I confessed that during a
week-end visit to a common acquain-
tance I had not slept welL "Waa it
those damned doves?" he Inquired eag-
erly. It bad been those damned doves.
I would almost rather keep a pet alli-
gator In my bathtub than two doves
in a cage outside my bedroom door.
A French Jesuit preaching recently
to an audience of women adjured
tbem not to repeat themselves in the
confessional. He assured them that
tbey did not know how It racked the
nerves of tbe priest It must be very
like listening for a tew hours to
moaning doves. Tbey seem to be con-
fessing the same sin over and over
again. Where among birds la one
