V- " «f Aaia Miao* First to Breed MuleaT The male, which la the product of a cross between a mare and a male ass, " has been bred aa a beast of burden since early times. The inhabltanta of tfysia, I'aphlagonia and Oapadocia, an- % clent count rlea in Asia Minor, are aald % to have been the first people to raise J mules. This, while not definitely established, is borate out by Homeric tradition. Mules were bred in large lumbers by both the ancient Greeks land Romans. Tha Jews were forbidden to breed mules by Leviticus 19:19, which declares, "Thou shslt not let thy rattle gender with a diverse kind." iidently, however, the Israelites eifier imported the hybrids or broke the paw, because early in their history they possessed large numbers of lules, which in a hilly country like klebtlne were preferable to horses id asses for many purposes. It is probable that in some cases "mule" is employed in English translations of tie Bible when "ass" would be the proper word.--Pathfinder Magazine. Islands Wake island was "acquired by the nlted States in 1898, aa a result of he Spanish-American war, and was ed to this country by Spain under e treaty of Paris, which ended the ar. Midway islands are now a part ht the Hawaiian group, and under the Jurisdiction of the Hawaiian government. They were discovered by CSapt O. Q. Brooks in the ship Gambier on July 5, 1859, and officially taken poeon of In the name of the United tates on August 28, 1867, by Captain eynolds of the U. S. S.

ThCf&uttb poil* is the body mea*- uremepta. When luring, the hen's body expands because more room is needed to consume more feed and manufacture eggs. The poor layer will most likely be out of lay In late summer and will have smaller measurements than the one which Is producing. Measure by the width of the hand and the fingers from the rear end of the breast bone to the pubic bones and then between the arch of the pubic bones, says Mr. Armstrong. The best layers have the greater distance between these bones. .. n To Increase Egg Chitpfl# Eliminate Broody Fowls Wot enough attention to the broody hen problem is given hy the> average poultry man. Thia neglect !s one of the reasons for low production of eggs by some flocks daring the spring, points out J. C Taylor, associate extension specialist in poultry husbandry at the New Jersey agricultural experiment station. The practice generally followed by successful poultrymen is to confine all broody bens to crates or pens. Each bird Is banded with -a celluloid leg band, a different color being used for each month. By leg-banding the broody hens It Is possible to identify them later in the year, and eliminate them from the breeding pen. After a bird has two or three bands she is sent to market The broody hens are collected about twice a week to be confined to the pens. While thus confined they are given water, mash, and green feed. This feeding plan puts* them in condition so they will resume production as soon aa they are over their deetre to set _ Baby Chicks Double ia Size in First Few Days Baby chlckp do a lot of growing In the first fear weeks of their lives. H. L. Shrader, extension povltryman In the United States Department of Agriculture, says they double in slse in the first two weeks. Not satisfied with such a record, they double in slse again in the next two weeks, If they get the right kind of attention. Two essentials for success in rearing baby chicks, Mr. Shrader explains, are plenty of heat and feed. A good rule to follow in feeding chicks, he says, is to provide s hopper 4 feet long for each 100 chicks. At the end of three weeks ahother hopper should be added. u ... Start for Hens Be eareful about starting bans through the summer in sn over-fat condition. A great deal of the summer loss from beat is due to overfat hens. The hens should be getting equal parts of grain and mash at this time of the year. If you do not have natural shade for the young stock and old hens, build some cheap sheds for them. Keep water troughs handy. Remember that chickens like fresh water during the hot summer months aa well as plenty of shade. Separate Cockerel! It will pay to separate youn| cockerels from the pullets when eight to tea weeks of age. This will give the pullets a chance for better development, and enable the pdutryman to force the cockerels for market. Time and labor will be be' saved by hopperfeeding the grain to the growing chicks after five weeks of age. Put the grain and mash hoppers out on the range and ^nduce a maximum of exercise. This keeps the chicks oat In the sunshine for vigor and .vitality. - |M|M rmv fItfn •t y r-- M Tflse yes rg In which the greatest mortality rates occur are from birth to one year of age.

There would have been great excitement--but no fire. The truck belonged to t "housedeaning company"--offered pioneer vacuum cleaning service to homes ia Boahanmioojfc^yr; Efficient as this service was, it did not become popular. So twice a year in most homes thf carpet beater came off its peg in the attic Rugjr were hung over clotheslines and punished. The whole family took turns pounding, until backs ached and hands blistered. Pictures were stripped from walls; floors and woodwork were scoured; furniture was shrouded with sheets. Hasty meals weep snatched from the kitchen tabic, Jhe ordeal lasted a week--recurred eveiy spring and fall Between seasons, the broom and thfE carpet-sweeper stood at attention behind the closet door. And a feather duster was always ready to remove the dust they stirred up from the whatnot with its colored shells an<| World's Fair souvenirs. When electric lights first came to northern Illinois* cleaning became more important. It was easier to see into corners and under the side* board. Homemakers toiled harder than ever. . But toon there was a new development, Around 1910, newspapers and magazines began to picture electric vacuum cleaners for |he home--small editions of the old afc^pnm|» engines. They screwed into an electric socket and although they were noisy and heavy and clumsy, with the motor and dult-catcher trailing behind on a little can, they were fir superior to the broom and the cacpe*- fweeper. And imptovemeuu were made. The business was reduced. A motor-driven brush was > Jlddbd to d»e suction nozzle to make it more ^llfficienc. The Mtraiier'* and the nozzle woe Combined into one unit.

The broom now plays second fiddle to an electric motor that purrs over rugs; noses down into ovelstufled furniture, deanx jng them quickly and thoroughly every week. The national institution known as "spring bornm- ~ iloaning" is booming obsokto. The Public Service Company has been go influential factor in making electric deaners, as well as dozens of other labor-savers, available to homes ia northern Illinois. As one of its foremost obligations to customers, it has taken on the responsibility of offering ghem the best appliances obtainable.
