Down in Pennsylvania a pair of
brothers got the (notion that the
standard arguments in favor of
keeping chickens in small groups
just wouldn't hold water. They
figured that if thousands of birds
.can be kept together out of doors,
on the range a similar procedure
would work successfully in a laying
:house.
Confident that their idea would
work, they built the world's largest
chicken house. It is 360 feet long,
60 feet wide and four stories high.
It holds 22,500 chickens, 7,500 in
each of three pens., Each pen is a
single floor, without partitions. The
top floor is used for storage of feed,
litter and other supplies.
To provide adequate light and
-ventilation, rows ofwindows ruff the
entire length of the house. The
building is of wood construction,
native oak for framing and yellow
pine for siding. Because the broth-
ers, Earl Mack and Ray Mack,
.realized tile necessity for full pro-
tection against the weather and
against fire, they chose fire-resist-
ant asphalt roofing for the roof.
The roofing color selected was red
=the standard color for all roofs on
the Thos. Mark Sr Sons farm. The
brothers believe that attractive uni-
formity of appearance can be creat-
ed by using the sante color of roof-
ing for all buildings in the farm-
stead.
The lfacks built the huge struc-
ture in order to achieve labor-sav-
ing efficiency to a degree impossible
in small pens. One mail and a part-
time assistant now take care of all
22,500 birds.
The Mack's methods are as
streamlined as their chickens' eggs.
Watering is completely automatic,
,and mechanization enables feeding
and egg -collecting to be done in
minimum time.
The water trough is three inches
higher at one end than the other,
330 feet away. A continuous flow
of water enters the high end and a
drain carries off the excess at the
low end.
Mash is fed from two hoppers,
also 330 feet long. Theselloppersare
filled from an ingenious mash car-
Tier—a wedge-shaped, sheet metal
container about four feet high, with
the point of the wedge down. It is
suspended from a ceiling track that

-vanette-treated pare silk scarf,

head covering,
circles at both ends of the, pen to
pass above both hoppers. The car-
rier holds 800 pounds of plash and
is filled from a chute coming down
from the fourth floor. To fill the
hoppers;' a man simply pushes the
carrier around the track, letting
mash flow out of the point of the
wedge' into the hoppers,
The egg -collecting system saves
time, too. Midway between the two
rows of nests, which are six feet
apart, is another overhead tract.. A
wooden platform hangs from the
track. To gather eggs, a man places
empty baskets oa the platform.
Pushing it along the track, he walks
along one row of nests, taking the
eggs as he goes. When he reaches
the end of the pen, he pushes the
platform back again, this time re-
moving eggs from the other row of
nests.
To simplify grain feeding, the
Macks built 13 grain' chutes in a
long row. The chutes are in groups
of three—in each group, a chute for
corn, one for wheat and one for
oats.. The chutes come down from
the storage floor. To feed grain
by this system a man has only to
walk along the row, stopping at
each chute to scatter grain with a
bucket.

MURDERER GAVE HIS

Two minutes after Michel Wat-

was guillotined at Metz recently,
his eyes were carefully removed by
surgeons. Within forty-eight hours
they had been grafted to all ex -

the authorities as "Lieutenant X."
After Watrin, an accountant, had
confessed to the murder of two

Lovely Spring Watt
There is life and action in a bu
blfilg spring, There is mystery, su..
as only small boys know, in t
welling up of its transparent water
visible and yet invisible, pours
out always; but, like the widow
cruse, never emptied. Springs a
life-giving; and above all, they a
free, earth's open-handed bounty.
[ he spring I best remember
high up on the side of Buck Moue
tain. Here a tiny rivulet flows froi
under a blue -grassy bank into
bowl slug into weathered granite
Above it spread two great chestnu
trees. Back of these, reaching up t
the mountain top, there is a lou
slope covered with deep forest, car
peted with nioss and drifts of dead
leaves.
To this spring calve the small boy
to fetch water for the harvest hands
carefully instructed to dip it u
from the northeast corner where i
was reputedly colder. To the brick
spring -house just below it were
brought buckets and great crocks of
mill. and cream. Here, too, was
heard the gurgling drum of the
churn ... Beyblid the spring -house
stood the great wash pots, the foamy
tubs and boards with their good
smell of soap and cleanliness,
At the noon hour, under the
chestnut trees the farm hands, after
a deep drink, stretched out luxur-
iously while the boy watched the
white clouds float overhead tillough
the lacy leaves, ear' attuned for the
dinner horn, . . .
He who kneels at a spring to
slake his Christ renews his strength
as did the ancient Achilles. Modern
man may drill deep wells or pipe
his water for miles over or under
mountains and even across deserts,
but the explorer, the pioneer and
first settlers must take nature as
they find it. To these, waterholes
and springs become the most im-,
portant points of their whole jour
ney.. . Springs, too, are stopping
places, They locate the cabin of the
first settler, and they have played
a most important part in the plac-
ing of the 'cities and towns of all -

gate let him get away with it.
But that is too far back in history
for any but the oldest inhabitants
to recall. Thinking it over, it
seems to us that we quit going to
lacrosse principally because they
cut it down to broiling size, took
it indoors and then tabbed it with
the—to us—most repulsive tag of
"B O X LA,,,
Still, at that our reason for quit-
ting . could have been something
else. Maybe we were just like the
southern hill -billy who, when asked
why he was wearing such a mourn-
ful expression, replied that he had
found it .necessary to give tip smok-
hig, and missed it badly. "Doctor's
orders?" inquired his questioner.
"Naw," replied the hill -billy, taking
dead aim at a nearby stump, "I
just found out that I'd ruther thaw."
So possibly the reason for its
finding ourselves i n c r e a s i n g l y
A,W.O.L, from lacrosse games was
simply because of discovering
simething else we'd "ruther do" and
had nothing whatever to do with
the sport iself. We wouldn't know
about that. But we do know, for
certain, that it wasn't the roughness
or brutality of lacrosse which kept
us away.
1k �
However, to those who think—
like Hugh Templin—that compul-
sory helmets would be a good thing
for* the game, the following hoary
anecdote might be of interest. It's
the one about the Alabama charac-
ter who had been brought up
before the Judge, for about the
twentieth time, on a charge of
wife beating.
His Honour, looking very grins,
was just about to pass sentence
when suddenly the wife put in a
plea for lenience. "Don't send Ras-
tus to jail, judge," she begged,
"He got his faults, but in some
grays he's the most thoughtful hus-
band a lady could have."
"How can you tall: like that, t
woman?" thundered His Honor, I
"Isn't it the truth that almost every
Saturday night he comes home
full of swamp -juice and beats you
to a frazzled How can you call
a man like that a thoughtful hus-
band?" 0
"What you says is the truth's own
truth, judge," answered the wife.
"Still, in all the years lie's been
doing that, Rastus has never once
put a mark on me where folks could
see itl" 3
:k :k :k
And that's the w4y it is with the
sport of lacrosse. football and
hockey are undoubtedly much
rougher games,. Even a soccer re-
feree—in Canada or South America
that is to say—is in much greater
danger of permanent injury than
any lacrosse player. But here's the
difference. In those sports they
comparatively rarely, if ever, put
a hark on one another where folks
can see it. So pass a rule that the
lacrosse boys must wear helmets
and see that the rule is obeyed,
.end perhaps—who knows—such
a rule might even be the means of
luring more of the rising generation
to take up the game. Practically
every lad nowadays has a secret
dream of winding tip either in the
movies or in television, and it is
even said that some of our athletes
