Milkman in Seville Washington's Qood Will Trip Through New England ,, (Prepared by the National Oaorraphlo ' Society. Washington, D. U.) ITH the revolution a matter of history, Seville, which a majority of visitors who travel down from Madrid and up from Cadiz call "The Most Spanish City in Spain," has settled down to its usual routine. ; Bat In Seville, now scintillating, now , pfteepy, is discovered a Spain not of tfce drowsing past, nor yet of the bus-* . tllng present; it is an indiscriminate mingling of both. Abiding through the centuries here on sun-swept slopes, the city has built for itself a dwelling place of traditions; but they are noi a high wall hedging it about, Seville -takes pride in her glorious past, treas- - wes it, becomes frankly arrogant at>out it at times; but her chief love 'Is life and the living of it. Her lichen-covered churches she liolds inviolate. Not one cobweb may lie removed, por a single crumbling , block of hand-hewed stone be remortared; but, across a well-paved avenue, a steeMabricated office building . g|ust incorporate every convenience of iShe modern builder's art ; Laden donkeys may, and do, wander Srtlly-nilly through every downtown _thoroughfare, but the driver of a U- --; Daoubine must keep his tyes open for -^-|*S#ne-way street" sighs and his ears •lert for the traffic officer's whistle. • Seville's history is as colorful as one S vJsf the silken shawls that drape th* Moulders of her dark-eyed senoritas, as varied as the moods of her people, as interesting as any story may well be that depicts the romance of a town j Which has lived through the rise, glory, arid decay of half a dozen nations. = v. The city's actual genesis is lost, hidden by the obscuring veil which Shrouds much of the remote past of the Mediterranean, and which was 4»ly slightly torn aside by the adventuring Phoenicians, and later by the Warrior-merchants of Carthafce. But there was a Roman Seville. Of - that ancient period definite traces re- . main. Some of the crumbling walls of the city were built under the direction of the Caesars. The Visigoths, following the fall of Rome's western empire, lingered for a brief three centuries in Seville. The Jews, too, from behind Byzantium came here to have their home, rose to positions of power, endured grievous persecution, passed, but left carved memories of their stay. Gypsies Still Thar*. Likewise the gypsies came here, and fctre they yet remain, cr9wded together tl noisy little and big families in Trlatoa, the ragged suburb of Seville, ^across the Guadalquivir. Finally, the lfoors possessed Seville. One must say finally because the city remains today something of a Moorish town. 8aint Ferdinand brought It within the Christian fold some seven centuries . ago; but all his might could not wipe the Orient. • The picturesque Santa Crus district Seville, with its narrow, crooked Streets and flat-roofed, companionable bouses, hfts changed very little in the ' last thousand years The city's famous and equally beloved Giralda Is today orach the same as, when a Moor* lah architect completed it, in 1196, and the whjte-robed followers of Moham- . 0»ed used it as a minaret from which to call the faithful to prayer , But Seville dwells not overmuch to ^ftmlniscences. She reverses her he- , roes of olden time, but it is the heroes of today that occupy her thoughts and newspapers,., .Annually she de- Votes many holidays (n obeisance before ancient glories, but the days before and after are spent In widening her narrow streets to accommodate a rapidly increasing motor traffic and in ..-•....Iwilding steel and concrete office buildtegs wherein to house her ever-expand- Jjig commercial enterprises. !•; ;She points with pride to where the ^caravels of the New world's conquer^ anchored in the Guadalquivir riv- ' ir, but barely a stone's throw away electric cranes strive the day long with vast Cargoes to and from the earth's ; fOur corners. Alcazar, the old Moorish palace re- Iffilt to house the splendor of the courts of Andalusian kings, remains much the same as It was seven centuries ago; but immediately across the street the new Alfonso XIII hotel transplants one straightway to the lux- Vy of up-to-date Paris,»or London or York. " * • " . Those fortunate Individuals who to southern Spain armed with letters of introduction to high officials and wealthy families go away with, ^glowing accounts of the saifaptuousness of life, of the lavish hospitality accorded visitors, and of the very modern manner of living in this only superficially modernized city. Other earnest seekers after local color who visit Seville and, in their desire to know their Spain, live among the Sevillanos, endure the Inconveniences of modest Spanish homes, spend long hours in crowded cafes to engage tn endless discussions with the evertalkative habitues, attend frequent festivals and bullfights. These folk carry away a vivid, glowing picture of a Seville en fiesta--colorful, rather noisy, highly picturesque. Average Income Is Puny. Only in rare instances does the foreigner come to know the true home life of the Sevillano. There Is not much money per cajpita in Seville these days. To be sure, certain of the city's families are Immensely wealthy and live in the style of oriental potentates and occidental plutocrats, while foreign residents are forced, for appearances' sake, to struggle along at a similar pace. But such folk are a statistical handful. Fully three-fourths of the town's population lives and has its being and is wholly happy on an income of around a dollar a day per person. In many cases this income must cover the, needs of an entire family, and some of Seville's families need much. But somehow there is always enough left over for the menfolk to afford a few hours each evening with convivial friends in a favorite coffee shop, and to secure a seat "in the sun" at the Sunday bullfight; and for the numerous children to purchase penny sweets, as occasion demands, from the howling huckster who passes the door each morning, accompanied by a congenial donkey laden with sticky lusciousness; and for the women of the family to have a new imitation tortoise-shell comb, a cobwebby lace mantilla, and a holeless pair of silk stockings--this last because the weaving -of silk hosiery has In reeent years become one of Spain's leading manufacturing industries. The people of Seville blend past and present in their dress and in many of their customs. The high .Spanish comb and lace mantilla of olden times are still worn liere, perhaps more generally than in any other city of Spain. But the comb Is more often than not perched precariously in modernly bobbed hair, while the mantilla covers a beautiful head filled with decidedly up-to-date feminine thoughts and Ideas. Racially, the people owe much to the Moorish residence In southern Spain. Brilliant black and brown eyes and complexions ranging from darkest sepia to the most delicate of creamy, textures are strangely reminiscent of long fenerations of ancestors who dwelt beneath the Sahara sun. Intermingled with tills great majority, however, one finds increasingly large percentage of the blue eyes and light hair of (pore Anglo-Saxon communities, Olives and Cork. 2 • ! ^ Seville is an industrious city. M&ny of "the city's activities revolve about the production and shipment of pickled olives and various grades of olive oil, for it is the central point Of distribution for the richest olive-producing ar&a in the world. There is an ancient local saying that the only genuine queen olives produced on earth are grown within seeing distance of the Giralda tower, the soil %nd climate of this region being particularly well suited to the full maturing of this class of the fruit. Much of the cork insulation found In our modern electrical refrigerators and many of the cork disks in the metal caps of ginger ale--and other-- bottles were shipped from the port of Seville. The world acknowledges -no wrought iron more artistic than that fashioned by the gypsy families of Triana. Seville's industries, however, are not permitted to interfere too radically with her moments of rest and relaxation. Every coffee shop (and there are scores of tfyem in Seville) is a noisy stamping ground, humanitychoked, from early in the afternoon until long after midnight Indeed, one may pass at anv time '.unrig the day or night and see gesticulating knots of men crowded about cup-cluttered tables, talktng, talking. Throughout New England October of this yea?; will bring historic reminders, for in that month in 1789, George Washington, seven months after being sworn in as First President of the United States, began the first Presidential "swing around the circle." That is, on Gctcbcr* 1&, Pros: dent Washington set out from the national capital, then New York City, for a good will tour of the New England states. President Washington's purpose •we are told by the George Washingtop Bicentennial Commission, in this visit, was to give the people a sense of the fact that they now had a national government^ and he% thought it a good thing for himself to note the condition of thte country and its people. ' As usual, Washington himself -is th® best authority for what happened to him on this journey. Methodical in, all his actions, he jotted down in his diary every fact and figure that struck him as worthy of note. From what he did record, it is clear that he then was not interested in the feeble stirrings of politics, or else chose not to set down his observations. His concern was rather for the material than the political progress of the country, and not a detail escaped him as to the condition of New England's farms, industries, shipping, fisheries and habitations. : President Washington set out from New York at 9 in the morning of October 15 and proceeded along what was then, and still is, known as the Boston Post Road. Covering 31 miles the first day through lower Connecticut, over a highway thaf he notes •as rough and stoney, he found the country thrifty and well-tilled, but in some places still bearing tbe marks of British destruction. Stamford had a mill-dam which interested him, and Norwalk then was a busy shipping port. Curiously enough, we learn from President Washington the size of Yale college in 1789. Pausing at New Haven, he took the trouble"to learn that it numbered 120 students. From there he struck northward through Walingford to Hartford on his way to Springfield and Massachusetts, where he immediately noted a fact that struck him. That was the prevailing equality of fortune among the people. In Massachusetts there were neither the very rich nor the very poor. At Brookfield, Massachusetts, a few miles beyond Springfield, President Washington was met by couriers from Governor Hancock, inviting the President to be his official guest in Boston. The President had no intention of permitting the Governor of any State to assume, even as a host, a position superior to that of the Chief Executive of the United States- To carry out the intention fi?>jnsisted oip stopping at public quartei^, the first official call to be paid by the Governor upon the President. Let George Washington himself tell what happened. In his diary he records the triumphal arches under which he passed on arriving at Boston, with inscriptions such as : "To the man who unites all hearts"; "To Columbia's favorite son", and "Boston relieved" March 17th, 1^776." •"The streets, the doors, windows and tops of the houses were crowded with well dressed ladies and gentlemen", he goes on. "The procession being over, I was conducted to my lodgings at widow Ingersoll's, (which is a very decent, and good house) by the Lieut. Govr. and Council-- accompanied by the Vice President (John Adams), where they took leave of me. Having engaged yesterday to take an informal dinner with the Govr. today but under a full persuasion that he would have waited upon mM4 soon as I should have arrived--I excused myself upon his not doing it, and informing me through his Secretary that he was too much Indisposed to do it, being resolved to receive the visit." That was on Saturday, October 24- 1 1 POOLTRY Ptfftd-Up Sptalnn Tbe expression "speHbindere" is b#> lleved to have originated With an official of the Republican national committee, who applied it to speakers who Wfre always reporting that they had held audiences spellbound.

CL FALL EGG LAYING r BRINGS IN PROFITS vsii ouiiutty, (otcsiucuv niusuiugiua attended two churches in Boston, ind between the two visits received the belated visit from Governor Hancock. The Governor appeared swathed in bandages alleging a serious attack of gout.Probably he fooled" no one but himself, and "gout" or no gout, President Washington had compelled him to pay the first call and thus render homage to the higher station of the President of the United States. • Yet while Washington could thusi by his cool aloofness, enforce respect for his office, he showed another side at Cambridge, before arriving at Boston. General Brooke, commander of the Middlesex militia had there requested President Washnigton to .review that body. Washington declined, on the excellent ground that while the President of the United States was Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, and of the States' militia during a state of war, he would not establish a precedent in giving the President military rank above the Governor of a State over State troops in time of peace. If he meant the Presidency to be respected, he, was equally scrupulous in regard to a Governor's prerogatives. During his stay in Boston, Washington visited textile mills, inspected the harbor and its shipping, and was gratified to note everywhere a promising industrial progress. He even listened to an oration in King's Chapel and received an address from the President of Harvard College, which he visited in person. Among the official atten- j tions paid him was what he described j as "an elegant dinnefr" in Faneuil HaU and Washington himself paid the asr sembly the courtesy of a visit- A cold and inflamea eye interfered at the time with his projected ride to Lexington, scene of the first bloodshed in the Revolution. He struck out along Boston's famous "North Shore", through Lynn, Salem and Beverly, in each of which he paused*1 to be shown through textile mills and to receive enthusiastic attentions. From Newburyport he went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he had the pleasure of being welcomed by his old comrade in arm, General Sullivan, then„chief executive of the State. » He visited Exeter, New Hampshire and Haverill, Massachusetts. From there he passed through Andover, and at last satisfied himself with the delayed visit to Lexington. On the wayback through Connecticut he went out of his way to call on another old comrade of the Revolution, "Old Put", otherwise General Israel Putnum, but found him at too great a distance off the road, and so missed this pleasure. On'November 13 he was back in New York, rejoining ' Mrs.' Washington, whom he found in good health, and the Government functioning in good order. In one month less two days this most indefatigable traveller of his time had finished his first Presidential tour, richer than before In popularity and himself the gainer by knowledge of the people. Next year it will be just 143 years since President Washington made this tour of New England- It is to be hoped that in 1932, when the whole nation celebrates the Two Hundreth nAniversary of his birth, every New England City that he then visited will react the scene or otherwise mark the occasion, as part of the tribute which the entire world will then render to the greatest American and one of the loftiest figures in human his»- tory. Now Is Good Time to Plan for Hatching Pullets. . Winter eggs are not the most' ftfret- Itahle. ep£s for the poultry producer. Fall production of eggs Is more Important than winter production, according to an analysis of egg prices during the moiffhs pf -August, September, October and November, and comparison with the winter prices', made by Ii. E. Cray, extensiofr specialist In poultry husbandry at the Ohio state university. .... . --v, "In February is the time to plan th<f> hatching of pullets for production of ejrgs next fall during the high-price season," says Cray. "N'^t winter Is the, time for managing' the flock in such a way thai the egg production which started in the fall will continue throughout the1 winter." ^ "Breeding ijs the first requirernent of pullets that are to mature early, lay ' good-sized eggs, and continue to produce steadily through the fall and winter months. Careful breeding Is becoming more and more Important with general Increases in feed prices and decreases In egg prices. I feel safe In predicting that the next five years will see conditions In the poultry business which will make It necessary to increase the production 10 eggs per bird In order to make the same profit we are* maWng todiy." • Keep Young Cockerels in "Bachelor" Quarters Place prospective breeding cockerels In "bachelor" quarters at the agt of 10 to *12 weeks, counsels Berlej Winfon of the Missouri College of Agriculture.

I As soon as the young coll chickens | weigh one and one-fourth to one and | one-half pounds, they are ready to fati ten. They should be placed In fatteni !ng crates, and should receive no feed the first 24 hours. Then feed the fattening batter lightly for the first day j or two at least three and preferably ; five time? a day. Care should be taken not to over-feed and to keep the birds slightly hungry by giving only what they will- clean up in 1$ minutes. It is not considered profitable to fatten for more ..than 14 days. A gooif batter Is made ^om seven parts of cornmeal and three parts of middlings mixed with enough buttermilk or skimmilk to make the whole the consistency Of pancake batter. Ordinarily ^two pounds of milk to one pound of dry feed are used. Neither grl( nor waiter are required with this ration. - • ^-...vp..:/,. SLl * Vv>s:.xr^fcv •.

It Is best Jo keep standard bred ducks, the market will pay more for uniform quality, tie carcass Is bipper and besides there is a ready demand for breeding stock of the more popular breeds. ' Young ducks, require fresh water to drink, but do not require -it to puddle in and should not be allowed to spoil the drinking water in "this way. To fatten young ducks to the green duck stage, they must be kept in yards or pens which are clean and sanitary, and fed every ounce they will consume of the following ration: Three parts cornmeal. 1 Two parts low gradj^ flour (ot |Bl4k tllings). One part bran. ; One-half part beef Scrap, to which should be added 3 per cent fine grit and 10 per cent green feed. Feed this as a mash, moistened with milk, three or Tour times a day --all they will eat. This mixture, fed properly, will make S three to four pound green duck in ten to twelve weeks. Poultry Hygiene The task of poultry hygiene is twofold because It alms not only to promote health but also to protect and defend ft.
