There isn't so much to see in a small town, but what you hear makes up for it. Aside from the weather, most of the conversation we've heard this week has to do with income -tax. the subway, sitting side by side, saying nothing but looking very worried. After many minutes one of them heaved a long and deep sigh. The other said, ' You're telling me!" Most people don't! mind paying their income tax, but the sight of one of thosfe forms drives 'em. nuts. Some people report seeing robins. We saw the Kartheisers ^wt Sunday. Now, we know that spring is here. - . 4\ ' " MESSAGES FROM OUR, SERVICEMEN , (Continued from page one) GIRLS' BASKETBALL TQURNEY FINALS TO BE HELD MARCH 21 . v t The fellow who said everybody knows enough arithmetic to figuije his pay and count his change was, wis#; ih stopping right there," : ' ?: This Changing World At" five, the youngster says, "The stork brought Us a new baby sister."

Kiltz, south of Woodstock, had the highest butterfat average of the twelve herds tested in February,' according to Elden Yoke, tester in the reorganized McHenry County Dairy Herd Improvement association No. 4. "This herd averaged 967 lbs. of milk and 35.5 pounds of fat with two cows dry and nine cows on three time milking. Other high producing cows during February were owned' by Turner & Winn, Anton Schmitt, Robert Gardner, and H. T. Eppel & So"n, with butterfat records of 79.0, 71.5, 67.9, and 67.1 pounds of fat.

Water Sprouting Soybean* Cover in Dark Place The first requisite for sprouting soybeans is to select a variety that will germinate readily. Soak the beans overnight, then put them into a flower pot, a sink strainer or colander, or any utensil that has holes in it for drainage and that can be covered. Be sure the container is sufficient in size, for the beans swell to at least six times their original bulk as they sprout. Cover the container and leave them in a warm, dark place. Light seems to make them develop an undesirable color. At least four or five times each day during the sprouting period, flood or sprinkle the beans with luke- ' warm water. In four to six days the sprouts should be from two to three inches long and ready to use. Some authorities recommend the use of chlorinated lime (calcium hypochlorite) during the sprouting period to discdfiirage the growth of mold and bacteria. The amounts suggested range from onc^aM to one teaspoonful per gallon water. This chlorinated water should be used for the last sprinkling each day and plain water used at all other times. i Civl VOUR CHICKS >!;'>•< gfMOZOM ncrh »on OIISNIKC w«rts CROI> AMD INTCSriMc, ACTS IH BRINK 1 and Mali vMk 1 Nan la ssatast tksrs.

Poultry Pullornm PuHdrum disease is a bloodstream infection, and frequently causes serious losses ini«poults during the first few weeks of brooding. Iu almost every respect, a pullorum-infected brood of poults resembles a pullorum- infected brood of chicks. The feather! appear cpugh, the wings droop, and there may be evidence of "pasting" at the vent. Infected poults remain apart from the brood, frequently with eyes closed, or re- *main huddled close to the source of -heat. They may die as early as the second or third day of brooding. Losses often continue for 10 days or more, reaching a peak about five to sefen days after the first fatality. A laboratory examination is essentia! to an accurate diagnosis. . ' Not all infected poults die, and if recovered females are used the succeeding years as breeders, they may produce infected eggs which transmit the disease to the next generation.
