DEVELOPS POULTRY
' WHICH CANNOT FLY
Penguin Variety Gets Away
From Fence Problem.
“Penguin” poultry* which cannot fly
over a two-foot fence, may end for all
time the quarrels that so often arise
between people who keep chickens and
their gardening neighbors. This hap-
py possibility is due to the discovery
ofvan inherited character in poultry
called “self-clipping.”
Dr. D. C. Warren of the Kansas ag-
ricultural experiment station, who has
studied the inheritance of this char-
acter, finds that the flight feathers of
the wings are defective and break off
as they grow, so that the wing remains
permanently “clipped.” This condition
is inherited according to the so-called
Mendelian laws as a dominant char-
acter. By mating “flightless” birds
■with normal fowls and selecting those
which produce only flightless offspring,
it is a rathei^easy matter to transfer
this character to any of the standard
breeds of poultry.
While poultry breeders who intro-
duce this characteristic into their
flocks will not need high fences, they
may have to rearrange their chickens’
sleeping quarters, for many hen roosts
would be altogether out of range of
penguin poultry.
A few months ago a somewhat sim-
ilar mutation in the guinea fowl was
reported. In this, while the end result
was the same, it was arrived at by
nature in a different way. The flight
feathers do not develop at all in the
“Kiwi” guinea, and the character is
inherited as a recessive character rath'
er than a dominant.
Sanitation Urged for
Checking New Disease
Strict sanitation is the only hope for
checking the new poultry disease,
leucosis or leucemia, which is spread-
ing as a threat to the $37,000,000 worth
of poultry raised on Illinois farms, ac-
cording to the animal pathology and
hygiene division at the college of ag-
riculture, University of Illinois.
No specific treatment for the dis-
ease is known at this time. Control
of it must be attempted through gen-
eral sanitary measures, together with
the disinfection of premises before new
stock is introduced. It also is advis-
able to ^void breeding, from infected
flocks.
Leucemia is a fatal disease mani-
fested by blood changes.- Although it
has not been definitely proved that it
is carried through the egg, the evi-
dence indicates that this is the source
of the disease on many farms.
Symptoms may be manifested in
fowls four to six months of age, and,
the disease may continue in a chronic
form to cause heavy losses. In mature
fowls the disease is marked by low
egg production, unthriftiness, blind-
ness, large livers and paralysis.
If suspicious symptoms of the dis-
ease appear, flock owners are advised
to take typically affected fowls to the
local veterinarian for autopsy and
diagnosis.
Laying Time for Pullets
It has been found that pullets from
the same hatch, the same breeders
and raised under the same methods
during the growing period will vary
ns much as several weeks in the time
they start laying. In any flock, other
things being equal, the early starters
are the best winter layers, the most
intensive spring producers and the
most persistent layers into the follow-
ing summer-fall period. Most of . the
breeding stock of the following year
will be found among the early start-
ers. Mark the' precocious pullets in
order to identify them from the late
beginners next year when the pullet
laying year draws to a close and the
juestion of keeping breeding stock
comes up. To do this involves keep-
ing the dates of each hatch. The
simplest means of identification is a
different toe punch for each hatch of
chicks, although many poultrymen
prefer to wing-band all chicks used in
their pedigree work.—Los Angeles
Times.
• Buying Chicks
The number of chicks one should
buy in the spring should be decided by
the number of pullets he wants to
house next winter. To be reasonably
sure of having any given number of
pullets after discarding the cull* buy
three times that number of chickens.
Cockerels usually outnumber pullets
In a lot as hatched. One should count
on 55 per cent cockerels. The small-
est loss that can be safely figured in
estimates is 10 per cent, according to
an expert.
Feeding Moist Mash
Moist mash can be fed as a supple-
ment to dry mash to aid in increasing
egg production. Moist mash is made
by mixing enough water of milk—the
latter preferred—to make it crumbly.
It should not be wet and sloppv. it ig
fed in the mash hoppers on top of the
dry mash. Only as much is fed to the
birds as they will clean up in 20 min-
utes. It is recommended by experts
that it be fed in the middle of the
afternoon. The object in feeding moist
mash is to increase egg production.
Where to Find
Happiness
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
YT7TIERE to find happiness?
* » Of what are you speaking?
The less you find happiness
The more you go seeking.
Seldom, the wanderer
Will find where he chooses;-
F»r ;>ften the wanderer,
While seeking it, loses.
Where to find happiness?
But few ever reap it.
For they who find happiness
Just have it and keep it.
Never the qherulous
Will ever achieve it.
For seldom the querulous
Who have it believe it.
Many have happiness,
Yes, have it not knowing
And so, to find happiness,
. Where are you going?
It may be near to you,
If you but mind it.
So look for it -near to you,
And there you will find it. .

SUSTAINING SOUP
/""YNE may prepare with milk vege-
table soups which are most nour-
ishing. The vegetables may be as-
paragus, peas, beans, spinach, onions,
celery, potatoes, turnips, carrots, corn,
cabbage or some of these in combina-
tion. The soup should be slightly
thickened. The following will be a
good basic recipe:
Thicken two cupfuls of milk with
one tablespoonful of flour and the
same of butter well blended, add sea-
sonings and two-thirds of a cupful of
cooked vegetables chopped, mashed or
strained. If the vegetable is not
starchy, more flour may be added.
Vegetable Vitamin Soup.
Take one cupful each of diced car-
rots, chopped onion, one and one-half
cupfuls of chopped celery, one cupful
of diced turnips, two cupfuls of diced
potatoes, two quarts of meat stock,
one cupful of tomato juice, two table-
spoonfuls of chopped green pepper,
six tablespoonfuls of butter and a
few dashes of pepper. Brown the
vegetables, except the potatoes, in the
butter, add three teaspoonfuls of salt
and one-fourth teaspoonful of pepper.
Boil twenty minutes and add the po-
tatoes.
Turnip Soup.
Heat four cupfuls of milk in a
double boiler, add one tablespoonful
of flour with two tablespoonfuls of but-
ter, then add two cupfuls of fresh
grated turnip, one teaspoonful of grat-
ed onion, one and one-fourth teaspoon-
ful of salt, a half teaspoonful of sugar.
-Cook until the turnip is soft. Sprin-
kle with parsley and serve. Serve
with croutens.

Reddy Fox. She had heard all about
that fight from Sammy Jay and down
deep in her heart she was proud of
Johnny Chuck. Now as she saw his
wounds she was filled with pity. Very
softly she sidled up to Johnny and

gently licked his wounds. She didn’t
say a word, just licked aud licked, oh
so tenderly.
With every touch of her tongue,
Johnny Chuck felt his anger because
she had refused to go away with him
melt away. At last there wasn’t a
bit left. Never had clover tasted so
sweet and delicious. Never had the
rustle of leaves in the trees sounded
so pleasant. Never had the sky looked
so blue or the fleecy clouds so white.
Johnny sighed. It was a sigh of hap
piness and contentment.
“I’m glad I’m home,” he said.
“So am I,” replied Polly softly.
“Home is the very best place in
all the Great World,” continued
Johnny Chuck.
“Of course,” replied Polly. “I’ve
known that ever since we've had a
home.”
“And this home of ours is the safest
and best home that ever was?’ said
Johnny. “I wouldn’t trade it for any
other home anywhere in all the Great
World.”
Polly Chuck smiled wisely, but she
said nothing and after a minute or
two, Johnny continued, “You mustn’t
believe, my dear, all that is told you
of fhe wonderful things of the Great
World,” said he. “It has nothing,
nothing at all to equal the peace and
comfort and safety of our own home
here.”
Once more Johnny sighed and as be-
fore it was^a sigli of pure happiness.
He had made a great discovery. He
had discovered that the secret of hap-
piness is contentment, and that con-
tentment is to be found within, and
not without qpe’s self. So despite his
stiffness and lameness and soreness,
Johnny Chuck was happy, and being
happy, there was no room for bad
temper. Suddenly it came over him
that he was glad that Polly Chuck had
refused to go away with him when
he had insisted on looking for a new
home, and he told her so.
Polly made no reply, but went right

WATCH POSITION OF BALL
IN DRIVING
GLUTEN considerable trouble is oc-
V-' casioned by beginners in golf
with the driver. Its straight face de-
mands a powerful and accurate blow
to send the ball on its proper path.
With the brassie and spoon and their
greater loft there is a better chance
of hitting the ball satisfactorily for
even should a slight error occur at
impact the angle of the clubface is
likely to minimize it and the result
be reasonably fair. With the* driver,
however, the ball must be hit ac-
curately for anything like a satisfy-
ing shot. For this reason it is ad-
visable to tee the ball well in front on
the drives. Few golfers can drive
well unless the ball is placed forward
so that the golfer’s body is greatly
behind it. This gives the clubhead a
chance to come onto the ball in a
straight line. If teed back toward the
right foot there is every' chance that
the clubhead will be hooded at impact,
i. e., the face of the clubhead point-
ing toward the ground. With the more
lofted woods, the angle of the club-
face would counteract this mistake
somewhat-so that it would not likely
be disastrous. Yet no one could drive
consistently well under such a condi-
tion with the driver. If your tee shots
are poor, look to your stance and see
where the ball is located at address.
Placing the ball just a bit further
ahead will often do wonders for your
game.

Use of Milk Increases
Average Span of Life
When George Washington was in-
augurated as President of the United
States, the average length of life was
only thirty-five years. In the next
century, the average expectancy was
increased to forty three years; the
span had been increased to fifty-one
by 1910, and the baby born this year,
according to records of the United
States bureau of census, may be ex-
pected to live about fifty-eight years.
While many different things have
contributed to lengthening the aver-
age span of life, one factor which
has done much, according to J. H.
Frandsen, head of the department of
dairy industry at the Massachusetts
State college, has been the increased
use of milk, based pn the greater
knowledge of its value in the diet.
Milk has been called the “perfect
food,” for it contains more nearly
than any other single food the pro-
teins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals
and vitamins necessary to support
life and maintain good health. It is
particularly rich in calcium and
phosphorus, the minerals which are
most important in the development
of sound teeth and strong bones.
Milk contains all of the known vita-
mins to a greater or less extent, Pro-'
fessor Frandsen says, and is one of
the best sources of vitamins A and B.
