FOR a stranger some places are more lonesome than - others; more lengthily removed from the snugness of home. Barbara Joyce thought Greenwich Village the loneliest place in the world. Cloistered, as she was, in a cheap little room over an Italian oasis of jTJyety, she wondered between times of "getting home from work and going to bod, how one coul<J be within sound of so many merrymakers and still be left in such utter solitude. Barbara Joyce was a small town girl. She had "hopefully sought independence and a rainbow future in the gilt-edged city where millions are ever seeking the same combination. One eventful night, with all the myraid village cowpaths to choose from, she selected a new trail to her friendless room from the Bleeker street "L" station. She threaded a wary way through the mass of flotsam and Jetsam that flock from the four corners of the world--that Mecca of all nations, where It does not seem possible that so many grimy, pathetic children couid exist; so many raucously conflicting noises be heard; so many noisome smells be smelled, and so many weirdly flaring gutter fires be lit from barrel hoops and dirty staves. Near the end of & narrow street that led into her own she approached a neatly caparisoned gasoline station. There was a cleanly swept cement platform near the door to the office. Reposing on this platform, all in a seemly row, paws and tails correctly placed and neatly curled, were nineteen cats, all in one perfect attitude of resigned and wistful waiting. Anything in the world may be seen In Greenwich Village; that is undesirable; but here was a sight quainter than quaint even for America's ren-. dezvous of arts. Barbara chose a shadowed spot near an iron railing-- and watched. Almost at once she noticed two taxis swerve slowly to the curb opposite the waiting cats. Two taxi drivers, husky, hard-boiled eggs with unflinching eyes, got out, each with a newspaper under his arm. They waved their newspapers gently as they stepped over to the platform. Prom the cats came a faint tremor of recognition, as the newspapers were spread out with a deal of care and a faint rustling in front of the entire nineteen. The two, newspapers spread, passed right by her without a glance, and disappeared into a dark doorway. They emerged almost at once, one carrying a ten-quart pail. Starting at one end of the anxious, watting row of cats of all colors, the two taxi drivere dished out of the pail in double handfuls, by the jowls of each expectant feline, nineteen luscious little piles of chicken and chop bones tppped with a generous sprinkling of spaghetti. What a purring and chewing and skillful use of delicate, softclad paws ensued. A miracle, indeed, to Barbara watching in the shadow. Here was the city where nobody cared. As she revelled In the warm sensation around her heart, and started for the hare little loom for the usual chop and small can of peas, there took place the tail end of the miracle. Barbara was at once less lonely. A lean, long-nosed black kitten skirted the curb with waif-born vigilance and came to hesitant stance before the dinner table of nineteen. At oncc from the favored assemblage rose curved backs, soft menacing minor growls and tails gently agitant from the nineteen satisfied diners. The little black stranger faltered, gave way, and started a regretful retreat in the direction of Barbara's shadowy railing. Swift inspiration moved the lonely girl. Stooping impetuously, she swept the black blotch of fur into her arms, and started with a tiny warm companion for what for the first time seemed like home. Walking, she bore with her an lm pression of a figure of a young man who had likewise watched the cat banquet from the edge of the curb across the street. She felt that he moved when she stooped to salvage the black kitten, and as she hurried jloYEn her particular alley there reinained the impression that this man's footsteps kept pace with her own. "Oh, I say," frank, friendly tones In which nothing evil lurked, "stop a second, won't you--an' tell me why you took that cat?" The girl turned rightabout and directly faced the dark figure and light voice-- "Excuse me, please! I was tipped jofL to that bunch of cats by a friend last night I'm a new Express re j^rter, just in from Indiana an' tryin «to please. They eat up human stuff, t,you know. Knew you liked cats the way you gathered in that one. I do, too. Maybe yoifd help me dress up ,my yarn. * Barbara, also from Indiana, poe • sessed the well-known feminine intuition.

Developing the spring-hatched pullets from the time the chicks leave the incubator until the pullets are placed In the laying house is the pathway to profits In the poultry industry. "The object of this development is to have pullets of stamina, bone and vigor and fully up to the standard weight of the breed," says R. S. Dearstyne, poultryman at State college. "At first the proper mashes are needed until finally the laying mash containing 20 per cent of protein is given. The young pullets must have an abundance of succulent green feed especially, as the grass on the range gets old and tough. When placing birds In the laying house, do this about two weeks before they jstart laying so that they may become accustomed to their surroundings." Nesting material should be changed often, runs cleared of litter, perch poles scraped and freed of mites, and the birds examlnea for internal parasites. A minimum of four feet of floor space to each bird is needed in the house, and at least two feet of perch pole for each three birds. Dampness in the house and damp litter is to be avoided if the birds are not to have roup and colds. Fresh, clean water Is necessary and the mash hoppers are to be kept filled at all times. Oyster shell and grit needs to be kept before the birds, and grain fed twice each day with the heaviest amount at evening. Mr. Dearstyne says that the poultryman will do well to spend about ten minutes each day In general observation of his flock. This will help him to find any lack of thriftiness or any indication of disease. Birds roughly handled, Irregularly fed and watered. Infested with parasites or neglected in other ways will not prove proSUM^. . Caponizing Profitable Way to Market Poultry Caponizing is one of the most profitable ways of marketing late-hatched cockerels. In an experiment last year fifty June hatched cockerels were caponlzed. The birds were of dual-purpose breeds and caponlzed when they had reached a weight of 12 ounces to 2% pounds. These birds were sold the following April and averaged six pounds each, dressed for market. They brought 35 cents a pound, or an average of $2.10 per bird. The feed cost of producing these birds was 84 cents each, and with an additional charge of 10 cents for dressing and picking, the net profit was $1.16 per bird. Another poultryman caponlzed 191 barred Plymouth Rocks last summer. When sold their average weight was 7.7 pounds each, and they brought 43 cents per pound. The total cost of growing these capons--chicks, feed and labor--was placed at $366.14. There were 176 birds at,selling time, which brought a total of $">61.14, leaving a net profit of 85 cents per bird. UlEOUTDGORS THE PESTY CROW Nimrods who wish to try out their new guns or do some target practice should hie themselves to where the ciW is found and shoot as many of these black pirates as possible before the spring nesting period arrives. Plenty of shooting will be experienced and a world of good will be accomplished towards eliminating one of the worst pests in existance, from a conservation standpoint. Crows will destroy thousands of game and song bird eggs during tfce hatching season, and everyone shot and killed means one less winged enemy to cope with. Our game birds have decreased alarmingly the past ten or fifteen years, but the pesky crow seems to be on the increase throughout the country. We have paid too much attention to shooting the game bird and not enough attention to shooting the crow. The crow is cunning and a wise old bird, wihout question, and to kill him means that you must be a fair Shot. They seem to sense the firearm in the hands of a sportsman, hence, the difficulty in approaching them when in quest of a bit of shooting recreation. Many chapters of the Izaak Walton League of America sponsor crow shoots during the early spring and offer prizes for those who shoot the largest number. Shooting "bees" of this nature add materially to the conservation program of any community where the crow exists and there can be little doubt but that hundreds of eggs are saved from the ravenous black pirates beak. and claws as a result of such activities. Inaugurate a crow shoot in your community just as soon as the crow appears this spring. Save the eggs the game and song bird by ridding your vicinity of the black pests of the grain field. Christening Cnstomo Etiquette says that In other days of stricter observances a baby was baptized in the Catholic and High Episcopal church on the first or at least second Sunday after its birth. But today the christening is usually delayed at least until the young mother is up and about again. Often it Is put off for months, and in some denominations children need not be christened until they are several years old. The attar stf» Is from two |o six months. ' Growth of Doers' Antlers Deer shed their antlers once a year, between January and March. When the antlers are dropped, the roots or pericles exposed are rough disks of bone belonging to the frontal bone of the skull. After a week or so this Is covered by the dark brown skin of the head and then the new antler begins to develop. It tt&es about four months, until about August, for the MW antlers to attain full growth. Wifie (before open grate)--Listen, dear, how the fire Is saying, "Peep, peep, peep."
