The method of feeding is important only as these aims are achieved. "To get enough feed consumed it probably means just a balanced ration that is palatable. Rations for feeding poultry should be complete as to nourishment. • When birds are confined, it becomes more difficult, - but not impossible, to meet the requirements, as compared with birds that have access to a good range. If the system of feeding results in enough use of feed" daily, the emphasis should be not on the manner of. feeding but on the ration itself. jj Wide variations in feeding meth- lend were Mr. Johnson and Miss Smith ods are possible so long as they do of-Chicago. not hinder the birds in getting suf- J Visitors in the home of Mr. arid ficient daily feed or interfere with ; Mrs. Joseph Daly for the weekend the building of a ration complete j were their son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. with all essential nourishment.

One of the things to remember in feeding a mature bull is not to give him so much that he will become fat. It is better to keep him thin in flesh. It is well, too, to remember that feeding too much roughage to a bull in service is not a good practice. It may make him logy. When a bull is not in heavy service he can receive more liberal quantities of both hay and silage, but when in service it is well to limit the hay •ma "perhaps feed no silage but in- How to Beat It Wife--Every time I get ready-t& go shopping you say you haven't any money.

Egg Liver Oil Hens used to give us eggs, and cod used to yield us liver oil; bat that's all changed. Dr. H. B. Thomas, professor of animal research chemistry at the state university of Iowa, feeds his hens on irradiated yeast, which makes them lay eggs so full of vitamin D that each egg contains as much of that vital vitamin as do three teaspoonfuls of cod liver oil. Doctors used to say orte drop of cod liver oil contained aU the nourishment at, three pounds of beef steak. It look&, then, says Tit- Bits Magazine, as though Doctor Thomas has succeeded in condensing a whole ox in an eggshell. WHAT IS IT?

TO MAKE AN INEXPENSIVE HAT BOX; SIMPLE TASK.-- To make your own hat box is simple. Does it sound like quite an order? It's really not hard, and you'll have something individual and distinctive, yet inexpensive, says a writer in the Washington Star. Decide on the shape and size of box you want and ask your grocer for a wooden one with a cover. There are several ways of finishing/ For a plain box, enamel it insideJand out, add a design on the cqver,/ an^i there you are. For a fancier vne, use round box covered with pretty cretonne. Line the inside first, cutting a strip a little wider than the depth of the box and • long enough to go completely around it. Glue ' it on smoothly, overlapping it on the bottom. Now cut a piece to fit the bottom and glue it in place. Line the cover the same way, inside arid out, and you're ready for the outside. Measure the box to where the cover fits down, cut a strip of cretonne the necessary length and width and glue it in place. Now bofe a small hole in the center of the cover, insert the small end of a bronze curtain ring, slip a piece of wood or metal through it on the inside, and you have a handle to complete your box. For a square box, cut the material to fit two sides at a time, to keep it even and smooth, then work the same way as before. How Halloween Started With Belief in Witches Halloween and the ceremonies that formerly attended it long antedate Christianity. The chief qharacteristic in the ancient celebrations of Halloween was the lighting of bonfires. The ancient belief was that on this night, the one night in the year, ghosts and witches were abroad. The main celebration of Halloween was, no doubt, Druidical, says an authority, because the Druids held great autumn festivals on or about the date of November 1, and lighted great bonfires in honor of the sun god as a thank offering for the harvest of the year. The Druids also supposed that the wicked souls that had been condemned to live in the bodies of animals were allowed to come forth on the eve of the festival. n--.** - The custom of lighting bonfires on Halloween night survived until recent years in the highlands of Scotland and in Wales. On the invasion of the Romans, certain characteristics of the celebration of Pomona, such as offering of apples and nuts, were introduced into the celebration of the t!)ruids.

How Funeral Car Lights Started The custom of lighting the headlights on automobiles in a funeral procession originated some years ago in a general discussion by the members of the National Selective Morticians, an organization of fu* neral directors, says the Washington Star. Any number of suggestions came up at this meeting, such as signs to be carried, and pennants on cars, but the final decision was that the lights be placed on all cars in the procession. This would not be an added expense. While generally used in many large cities and towns, it is not a national cus> torn. However, some large cities such as Washington, D. C., provide for this in their traffic regulations. Any driver of a car or individual who goes through . luneral procession is violating a- u ffic law. How Snake Venom Is Extracted Here's how the venom is extracted from a snake: The reptile is held firmly--in fact, very firmly-- with the haf.d just back of the heed.

Poisonous fluid from the rattlers' fangs is turned into serum for treatment of Tattler bites and nervous conditions such as St. Vitus' dance. t „ --- , • &'s;4group of small boys iiis: >it.

However, efficiencies over 90 per cent are common for all types, and performance in practice will probably depend more upon how well the gears are designed and built and the operating conditions under which they work than upon the type.
