Alarm Clocks Annoy Sitting Hens
"Farm and Fireside," the national
farm paper published at Springfield,
Ohio, has been offering prizes for the
best letters describing ways and means
to discourage sitting hens. In the cur
rent issue the prize-winning letters are
published. First prize went to the
writer of the following letter:
! "Some years ago I was endeavoring
to break up a sitting hen, but my ef
forts were in vain. 'Old Valler' con
tinued to sit.
"Finally I took a small alarm clock
an I set it so it would go off in a few
iniuutes. I placed it in one corner of
her nest and watched. It went off.
And so did 'Old Valler.' She left the
nest and stood dazed for one horrified
instant and then with one squawk she
ran out of the henhouse and flew over
the park fence and began to hunt for
, bugs in the grass.
"She not only stopped sitting but she
stopped clucking, and in a short time
began to lay. I have sinee tried this
method on more than one hundred
| broody hens with complete success."

ROOSEVELT CALLS ATTACK
ON CULFLIGHT "PIRACY"

he considered it "an act of piracy,
pure and simple." The colonel admit
ted that he had not followed the event*

from what he had read about it he said
he saw uo reason to change the opin
ion he had expressed regarding the
sinking of American ships in a maga
zine article at the time the Germans
established their war zone.
In that article the colonel said if
the Germans should sink an American j
ship within that zone it would be pure ]
piracy. Mr. Roosevelt would not dis- !
cuss what effect the incident would
have upon this government's relations
with Germany.

Says Farmers Swear Too Much
j A Michigan contributor, writing un

Vice," has the following to say about
swearing among farmers:
e "I really believe there is more
V swearing sandwiched into the farmer's
0 conversation than with any other class
■' of men. At least T, who was brought
up in town, never heard so much of it
as I have since I made my home in
the country.
"1 spent eight years of my school
' life in city schools, and I remember
how shocked we were when we happened
s to overhear the mildest of 'cuss'
f words.
s "Since 1 have lived in the country I
- have had an opportunity to observe
1 | three different district schools, and I
i I find that not only the boys, but even
5 the girls, will occasionally use words
- that it seems impossible they could even
- have heard.
"And this.community is considered
• exceptionally prosperous and refined.
