I* Calculating Pulley Sizes for Gas En
gines and Tractors.
" a
Define G. Carter, Agricultural
Engineering Department.
West Raleigh, N. C., Jan.—
With such a large increase in the
use of gRA engines and tractors on
tho farm, tho problem of pulley
Bizefi is ong which is causing a
good deal of worry, for there is
nothing quite HO aggravating as a
pomp which is trying to work at
oO or 00 strokea per minute when
bitched up to tho gas engine; or
corn shredder which is not turn
ing fast enough to do good work.
There in a simple rule to follow
in figuring pulley sizes which
makes it possible to hitch the
power to tho machine in such a
way that good work can be done.
The rule is this:
Multiply the revolutions p«r
minute of tho engino by the
diameter of the engine pulley
wheel and divide the result by the
number of revolutions at which
the driven pulley should travel.
For example, if the engino turns
at 250 revolutions per iniifuto,
using a 10-inch pulley, and It is
desired to belt the engine to a
machine Which turns 125 turns
per minute, the size pulley re
quired would be found as follows:
Multiply 250 by 10 and divide the
result by 125. The result is 20,
which means that a 20-inch pulley
is needed oil the machine.
A few minutes spent in study
and calculation when the new ma
chine is belted up will save un
necessary labor and the results
will be better.
BIRD HUNTERS' CLEVER TRICK
Natlvss of Northarn Nigeria AHUITM
Raaamblanc* of tho Quarry They
Are Seeking.
Someone may hnro called you **a
bird" with exclamatory accents of ad
miration, but bare you ever tried to
act like a bird or to appear like a
bird to attract a real bird? Of course
you haven't, for thli lua't tho way wa
la thla country gn hunting, eveo though
we may he the moat ardent of sports-
Men. It la, however, one bird-hunting
method In Africa, write* Temple Man
ning la tho St. Ixinls Itepubllc.
A recent llluatratlon ahowa how a
dusky liea u aets out to fasclnste one
of the feathered native* of the woods
and plaina of northern Nigeria. It waa
in Bnssn. to be exact, where the pho
tograph from which the picture la
drawn waa anapiied. And the person
who waa caught In the very act of en
ticing a bird belongs to the tribe which
goes by (he name uf Munahl.
Industrious and very good tiller* of
tbe aoll aa they are, the Munsltls are
said to be quarrelsome and great
lovers of slcohol, which they sometimes
contrive to smuggle In and to drink
with vast speed. It msy be. Indeed,
that this Munahl hoped to catch his
bird far the drink It would bring. At
any rate, he was most eerlou* as he
went about his blrd-sctlng.
Clad In a straw shirt to give the
effect of the scene la whleb he moved,
tbe banter held the artlflclal bird's
bead close to his own and began to
atalk his qasrry. To human eyea view
ing blm from s distance lie looked I
mora like s strange caricature of an
ostrich than aaythlng else. To bird
eyes perhagm he appeared like a scene
from tbe surrounding country—that Is,
m bird teetering on a coal-black branch,
swaying above a field of grain that
moved In the wind.
It seem! odd that so simple an ex
pedient should be ao successful. It Is
true that the banters sometime* return
•mpty-handed. but more often they
come back laden with tbe birds they
•at forth to get. In this country and
In these day*, when hunters sometimes
aaam slmost as numerous as the hunt
ed, It would be exceedingly dsngemus
to appear like the quarry, for a bullet
moat certainly would be the reward.
Bat In Nigeria tbe method Is a success,
although It requires much practice to
Imitate a bird well enough to deceive
tbe birds themselves.

Announcemect has been made at
the University of North Carolina i
that the sixth annual Suite cham
pionship coutest in basketball for
North Carolina high schools will
be held this year, with the final
game between the champions of '
the east and of the west to be 1
played in Bynum Gymnasium in
March. The contest will be held
under the auspices of the Bureau
of Extension and tbe Athlotic
Association of the University.
The committee in charge is com
posed of N. W. Walker, E. K.
Rankin, C. T. Woollen, Lester E. 1
Bond and Joe Person.
Teams eligible for the chain- ;
piouship series, Mr. Rankin said, '
included those which by Feb. 21 '
shall have won three games from
teams of equal rank, or if more
than three games have been play
ed, shall have won three-fourths
of the contests played. After
Feb. 23 Mr. Rankiu will meet with
the eligible teams of the eastern
part of the State, further elimina
tion games to determine the
champions of the east. The same
procedure will be followed in the '
west and the final game for the
State championship will be played
in Chapel Ilill between the sec
tional champions. The committee
pays half the railroad fare of the
teams coming to Chapel Hill for
the championship game and pro
vides entertainment.
Winston-Salem won the first
State championship arranged by
tho University in 1915. Since
then Durham and Winston-Salem
have alternated each year, with
Winston-Salem now having "the
edge with three victories to Dur
ham's two.
Secretary W. R. Wtineh of the

an official rating card from the
burenti of records of the inter
national committee of the Y. M.
C. A., comparing the work of the
local association with all the other
colleges in the United States. The
rating is based on thirteen dif
ferent counts. On three of them,
operating expenses, united war
work, aud community service, the
local association is graded below
the average of tho other colleges.
On ten counts it is above the
average, and on four of those ten
it has received the highest grade
iriven that of any association.
Those fonr are number of stu

Marvelous Gains In American Ship
ping at Baltimore.
Baltimore Hun.
Figures showing tho extent to
which American shipping is wrest
ing supremacy from foreign coun
tries is shown in the review of
shipping for 1919 submitted yes
terday to the Chamber of Com
merce by William P. Ryan, col
lector of the port. The totals are
little short of startling, revealing
that last year one in every three
ships that entered this port were
American vessels, while a decade
ago ortly one iu every HO flow the
Stars and Stripes.
The report shows that in 19111
ocean, going vessels brought
cargoes 1o Baltimore, represent
ing a tonnage of 1,084,099. Of
this number 25(5 were American,
with a total tonnage of 733,955,
while 533 bearing foreign (lags had
a tonnage of 1,250,144. For the
same period there cleared with
cargo a total of 1,087 vessels, 450
of which were American. The
tonnage cleared was 2,414,-
004, of which 1,483,987 was for
eign and 930,575 American.
An idea of just what these
figures mean in terms of Ameri
can shipping and Baltimore coni
uierco is gained by comparison
with similar reports made for
1914, for a decade ago and for two
decades ago. Iu 1914 of 827 clear
ances' only 15 were of American
ships. Of 734 cargoes entered at
the Custom House only 24 were
American. The tonnage entered
was 1,512,072 foreign and 43,968
American. The tounage cleared
was 1,(198,133 foreign and 14,282
American.

A serious illness such as Influ

West Raleigh, N. C., Jan.—
What does the average farmer do
to grade up his ehickens? The
honest answer in many cases is
"Nothing." Hero is what he does:
Some evening in April ho takes a
sudden notion to set some eggs,
or frequently it is left to some
member of the family, possibly
the wife—yes, in the majority of
cases.
He is not interested much in the
source of the eggs. In fact, about
all he cares for is that they are
fertile. To him an egg is an egg,
a chicken a chicken. He does not
believe there is any great differ
ence in chickens, aud in fact a
dunghill looks just as good to him
as a pure-bred, and many times
he will even argue that the scrub
is healthier. He does not appre
ciate the fact that in a flock of 30
lions there are at least 10 that do
not lay enough eggs to pay for
their feed.
Ho thinks auythuig that has
feathers on it will lay eggs. He
mates anything in the springtime,
aud wheu high-priced eggs come
in the fall his pullets are any old
thing uot uniform chickens for
food, and the eggs these pullets
lay lack uniformity and hence
[ack top market value. Abont
the ouly time ho buys a male is
when tho old "rooster" dies of
old age, and then he goes over to
his neighbor, and if he has an old
scrub he will buy him for 50 cents
or a dollar. If he cannot find one
in the neighborhood he will send
off and actually try to buy a pure
bred for "*1.50."
Why don't hens lay iu the
wintertime? Because they are
raised from hens that lay iu the
springtime aud not in the winter.
It is high time we were waking up
to this culling of liens.

Senator Lodge's Chicago Rival.
•» .
New York World,
j When Mayor Bill Thompson of
Chicago places his bulky figure
squarely in the way of patriotic
•and progressive movements he
j always refers proudly to an an
cestor who fought in the Rev -
lutionary War. If he' expects
results from his telegraphic ap
! peal to the United States Senate
to kill the "hellish" League of
.Nations, he should remind the
treaty-wreckers of his oWn va
liant war record as "the Mayor
of the sixth German city," who
snubbed Marshal Jeff re and dis
couraged the purchase of Lib
erty Bonds.
With that other blameless
patriot, Larry Sherman, always
before them, parroting in peace
as he did in war the cry t( We
have bought into a bankrupt
concern," Senators inclined to
throw away the.fruitsof a costly
victory hardly needed further
help from Illinois; but Bill
Thompson's heroic summons to
retreat' pell-mell will at least
count one in the rostor of pub
lic opinion. There can be no
doubt that he voices the senti
ments of a considerable element
in Chicago, part of it now being
in custody.
In the Senate it is the habit
of those who would rip the
treaty to speak of the process as
"Americanizing" it. By the
same token Mayor Bill demands
its annihilation. He would not
leave a shred of the document
to remind posterity of the un-
American ideas therein set forth.
Unjess Senator Lodge can think
of something new right away,
he never can hope to rank with
his Chicago rival as a horrible
example of perverted Amerij
can ism.
The man who thinks his pedi
gree makes him superior should
tell it to Duroc, Berkshires,
Poland Chinas, et al.

Just ask your druggist for Acid Iron
Mineral. He will also tell you that
stomach troubles are relieved by tak
ing a spoonful in a glass of water
three times a day. And for acute
conditions like "sour stomach" etc.,
a single dose will in most cases bring
relief. This natural formof iron seems
to neutralize the excess acid in the
stomach as nothingelse in all medicine.
Stomach disorders of long standing
where the patient is subject to dis
tress after eating, gulping, headaches,
dizziness, etc., yield positively to
steady treatment with Acid Iron
Mineral.
And don't forget that t£e general
system is strengthened and invigor
ated owing to the iron content of this
great medicine. All druggists cheer
fully refund the purchase price if the
results are not satisfactory to you in
every way.
