der of the Valley of Holy Mary of
tite Bulrush In Oaxaca!
It seems a forest when you see 11
first, appearing above the tangled
roses, the pomegranates blossoms and
laden orange branches of the Zapole•
can village. It Is perhaps the oldest
living thing upon our continent, per-
haps the largest tree. (Pot no one
knows,' of Course, jus( what trees
there may be, nor what their ages.)
Figures so often given leave one no
faint idea of the air of dreaming anti•
quity which weighs upon the Tree o,
Tule's droopijia houghs, of Its regal
peace, the insignificance of years and
Peoples perceived within its shade. -
There is serenity in the gift,, of the
Great Tree of Tule. It seems .o be a
kind tree. In every conflict it has
been respected — respected when
cathedrals were assailed and
churches shattered. But one would
not dare to dwell near it. There is
something overwhelming in the shade
of it and in the thoughts it calls tip
from the depths of time.
You have read some time about
this tree—how its trunk, four feel
above the ground, measures 160 feet
around, and how it stands as high as
that, while I feathery fOtiage
spreads 140 feet out over the little
churchyard where It grows. It Is a
Mexican cypress, one of those same
ahuehuetes which shaded Montezu
ma's pleasaunce at Chapultepec and
which with the Tree or .he Sad Night
at Popotla are probably the only liv-
ing monuments of his time and of
the Conquest. Perhaps It is fifteen
centuries old. One would like it to
live forever, and indeed there Is hope
that the memory of it will be long,
for near by in the churchyard grows
its "son," another united forest, slow-
ly aspiring to its father's fame and
might.
These enormous trees dwarf fan-
tastically between them the Church
of Tule, which seems the more a toy
tor being white and painted in de-
sign' of bright red and'- blue. The
parent tree is venerated like an ald
living god by the Indians, and testi-
vela are regularly held in its honor.

from 1$6.00 to I6J50 per cwt• Hatch-
eries in Lincoln are taking a large
quantity of 'hatching eggs for the
early trade in 'baby chicks. Many
poultrymen are securing chicks much"
earlier •dn the season int order to have
their ;pullets 'laying earlier in the fall
when prices are .usually higher than
later in the whiter. A carload of 417

from Oxford County recently at a

Oxford also reports a general scarc-

Care of the Young nor se' s Feet
'"No feet; no horse" is a well
known adage amongst htorsemen.
This statement is particularly import-
ant and true of stallions, as they are
the progenitors of the next horse
crop. Inferior feet in horses will be
passed on to the next (generation just
as ,promptly as any other strpet'ural
defect. We can assist heredity, 'honr-
ever, by .taking proper care of the
feet of our horses. It is never too
soon to start caring dor the youpg
horse's feet. Not only jean the feet lbe
improved by seasonable attention, but
early, patient, tided 'handling of foals,
will save •much perspiration and many
backaches later on.
The ,proper rare of horses' feet
should keep the :foot short in front,
wide at the heel and albove all else,
level on the bottom. This makes a
round, level foot that takes a good
grip of the ,ground and keeps the pas-
terns 'well lined tea and at the proper
angle.
It is wonderful what can be done
in improving action, and in putting
knees, hocks and ankles in :the cor-
rect position by the proper care of
young horses' feet at the right time.
In the raising of 'ltbgs the main
point to bear in mind is that, by
steady production .based on the nor-
mal capacity of the farm, it is pos-
sible for ap individual producer to
increase his average returns mater-
ially. Profits from hogs are depend-
ent on two factors. namely, the price
received and the cost of production,

No one ran predict future prices

prices: iow in' 193'4 and 1935; high in
1936 and 1937; and low again in 1938.
The combination of high hog prices
and low feed pricesin the fall of 1935
led many farmers in some districts to
increase the number of sows bred. re-
sulting in the greatly increased near-
ketings of 1936-.W. Many of the hogs
were finished on the higher -priced
feeds of 11936 so that much smaller
profits than anticipated were obtain-
ed. In 1937, the same producers 'be-
came discouraged, decreased the num-
ber of sows bred, and now find them-
selves with fewer' hogs to feed at a
time when low feed prices have made
production profitable.
Attempting to guess the future
prices of hogs and feed simply can-
not he done successfully.
if there is one thing more than
any other the importance of which is
stressed in hog- feeding, it is that
grains alone are not enough to make
good hogs, and that for the produc-

It seems a forest when you see 11
first, appearing above the tangled
roses, the pomegranates blossoms and
laden orange branches of the Zapole•
can village. It Is perhaps the oldest
living thing upon our continent, per-
haps the largest tree. (Pot no one
knows,' of Course, jus( what trees
there may be, nor what their ages.)
Figures so often given leave one no
faint idea of the air of dreaming anti•
quity which weighs upon the Tree o,
Tule's droopijia houghs, of Its regal
peace, the insignificance of years and
Peoples perceived within its shade. -
There is serenity in the gift,, of the
Great Tree of Tule. It seems .o be a
kind tree. In every conflict it has
been respected — respected when
cathedrals were assailed and
churches shattered. But one would
not dare to dwell near it. There is
something overwhelming in the shade
of it and in the thoughts it calls tip
from the depths of time.
You have read some time about
this tree—how its trunk, four feel
above the ground, measures 160 feet
around, and how it stands as high as
that, while I feathery fOtiage
spreads 140 feet out over the little
churchyard where It grows. It Is a
Mexican cypress, one of those same
ahuehuetes which shaded Montezu
ma's pleasaunce at Chapultepec and
which with the Tree or .he Sad Night
at Popotla are probably the only liv-
ing monuments of his time and of
the Conquest. Perhaps It is fifteen
centuries old. One would like it to
live forever, and indeed there Is hope
that the memory of it will be long,
for near by in the churchyard grows
its "son," another united forest, slow-
ly aspiring to its father's fame and
might.
These enormous trees dwarf fan-
tastically between them the Church
of Tule, which seems the more a toy
tor being white and painted in de-
sign' of bright red and'- blue. The
parent tree is venerated like an ald
living god by the Indians, and testi-
vela are regularly held in its honor.

In the ground beneath it crowd me-•

Care of the Young nor se' s Feet
'"No feet; no horse" is a well
known adage amongst htorsemen.
This statement is particularly import-
ant and true of stallions, as they are
the progenitors of the next horse
crop. Inferior feet in horses will be
passed on to the next (generation just
as ,promptly as any other strpet'ural
defect. We can assist heredity, 'honr-
ever, by .taking proper care of the
feet of our horses. It is never too
soon to start caring dor the youpg
horse's feet. Not only jean the feet lbe
improved by seasonable attention, but
early, patient, tided 'handling of foals,
will save •much perspiration and many
backaches later on.
The ,proper rare of horses' feet
should keep the :foot short in front,
wide at the heel and albove all else,
level on the bottom. This makes a
round, level foot that takes a good
grip of the ,ground and keeps the pas-
terns 'well lined tea and at the proper
angle.
It is wonderful what can be done
in improving action, and in putting
knees, hocks and ankles in :the cor-
rect position by the proper care of
young horses' feet at the right time.
In the raising of 'ltbgs the main
point to bear in mind is that, by
steady production .based on the nor-
mal capacity of the farm, it is pos-
sible for ap individual producer to
increase his average returns mater-
ially. Profits from hogs are depend-
ent on two factors. namely, the price
received and the cost of production,

prices: iow in' 193'4 and 1935; high in
1936 and 1937; and low again in 1938.
The combination of high hog prices
and low feed pricesin the fall of 1935
led many farmers in some districts to
increase the number of sows bred. re-
sulting in the greatly increased near-
ketings of 1936-.W. Many of the hogs
were finished on the higher -priced
feeds of 11936 so that much smaller
profits than anticipated were obtain-
ed. In 1937, the same producers 'be-
came discouraged, decreased the num-
ber of sows bred, and now find them-
selves with fewer' hogs to feed at a
time when low feed prices have made
production profitable.
Attempting to guess the future
prices of hogs and feed simply can-
not he done successfully.
if there is one thing more than
any other the importance of which is
stressed in hog- feeding, it is that
grains alone are not enough to make
good hogs, and that for the produc-
tion of the select bacon type hag it is
