moor, England, In 1861, educated at
the Universities of Toronto and Chi
cago, L. acock first taught economy
in Upper Canada college and then
in the University of Chicago. In
' 1904 he became head of the depart
ment of economics at McGIll univer

the greatest of Canadian humorists,
Leacock has written several books,
among them being Moonbeams

Raleigh, Oct. 8 Overcrowding lay
ing birds in fall and winter robs them
of their vitality and m ikes them sus
ceptible to disease.
Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the State
College poultry department, recom
mends that the birds be given ade
quate housing facilities, with plenty
of ventilation, but no drafts.
The colds and roup from which
many flocks suffer during the fall
months may be traced to inadequate
ventilation, he said.
As cold weather approaches, he
continued, it is advisable to check
the birds again for parasites, both in
ternal and external. Infected birds
should be treated at once.
Birds to be used for breeding pur
poses should be blood tested for pol-

State Department of Agriculture will
send an expert to make these tests
for poultrymen.
Winter grazing crops should be
sown in October, Dearstyne said, to
provide a source of green feed for
the flock during the winter. A mix
ture of Italian rye grass and crim
son clover makes a good winter crop j
for this State.
He also stressed the importance of
keeping accurate records on the flock
Records are essential to the develop
ment of a profitable poultry business,
ho declared.
Records help poultrymen ascer
tain which birds are good producers
and which are falling down on the
job. They show the cost of operation,
land vhether the poultryman is mak
ing a profit. They help him find weak
spots in his system of management.
OUR IGNORAMUS CLUB
By STEPHEN LEACOCK
EVER since we started In our
town our new Ignoramus Club,
of which I'm the secretary, I
am stopped on the street by
reople asking, "What Is it? What is
it? How do I get lnT And lottors!
I'm simply bombarded by them four
yesterday and two more today I Aa
soon as It got "round that there was
do fee, there was )uat a sort of stam
pede to ct in when we ant down at
oar Wednesday Luncheon meeting to
hear a (oik eo Abyssinia (It'a out west
in Canada: the amn hnd been there)
I counted over a hundred present, and
more came In after the tickets
token up.
People get toto the Isnorarous Club,
you see, on their brains, or at least
on their minds, the kind of minds they
have. We do it by question and an
s'wer, Just by questioning the people
who want to get in and seeing If they
have the right qualifications. Tor ex
ample, yesterday after the Lunch we
aslted an applicant what wns his Idea
of Mussolini ; and he said that he was
pretty tnr It was an artificial silk
made la Italy and used for lingerie!
Ho got la. That Is exactly what the
Olnb wants. tm see It started freai
the idea that tiie world Is all ever
worried and preoccupied aboat peaea
and war, and nations whs live Gad
knows where, and economics aad an
eroploymaat. Peoj4e jast grab far
their paper In the morning to see
who's in the PotM corridor, and
what's In the Sar Basis and whether
the plebiscite among that Last wli!
keep them Lets or turn them lata
Slas.
It's too much. We think the world's
going craisy. Our Iresldent, McSorley,
put it that way. "Going crazy I" ha
said, Just like that, snapping his fin
gers, "going craeyl" And McSorley 's
fine. Its' ail silly about his ever
having been In an asylum, because he
wasn't. It wasn't an asylum at all,
Just a place! McSorley could hove
had the biggest law practice In town,
but he was too versatile for It. Be
still has his office, and rows and rows
of books in calfskin. He sits there
most of the day, working puzzles. So
of course, when we started the Ig
noramus Club he was Just the man for
President.
Well, we have got together on the
basis of complete Ignorance of all
this foolishness. We don't know
where the Polish Corridor Is and we
don't care. Ask us where Monehukuo
Is and we Just laugh! Just break out
silly and laugh! You see, we don't
know where It is and if you told ns
we'd forget It tomorrow and think It
was somewhere else. In fact we are
Just like everybody used to be before
the world went crazy.
At the Inst meeting somebody asked
one of our lady members something
about Flandln. Do we have ladies?
Well, do we! What do you think we
lire, professors? Of coarse we have
lady members, real peaehss, and net
one knows where raragtjay Is, either,
and thqy Ulak that estate is ehewlag
ram. Peahaas yea saw la the papers
the eoser aa- the stesy ef haw a nib
jaand te a a? at a daace, "I'd like tt
jftik yea far a laace hat I nfst assises
Tm Jet a litis stoT Ira Pale," aaa
ishe BflSd :h, that's aH right, I don't
that girl la one of our members: She
qualified on that remark.
What did the lady say aboat Finn
din? Oh, she sold that tablets like
that were all right If you couldn't
sleep.
As a matter of fact some ot oat
members seem to get Into the club Just
In time. They look sick and worn out
when they come in, and In a week or
two they quit worrying about the
Polish Corridor, and they thlDk the
Belga is the name of a movie star
and they're all right.
What do we do nt the meetings?
Come round some time and see. We
have lunch meetings and evening
meetings, too; generally have a paper
or a discussion, anything, as long as
the membors don't know anything
about It and don't care. We're having
a lunch on Disarmament Wednesday.
And of course In a way we'ro a "serv
ice" club. At least we're plodged to
do something for the kiddles. We had
a smoker for them, last time ymi
know, to raise money for the Scout,
great little fellows! But we lost out
on It; the cigars cost too mush. We
bad to borrow out of the Httle fellows'
savings bank to get even. Bat we'll
fix it all later. As MeaWler said,
"Bof hood is sacred.' We'll see they
get their mooey back. We can raise
It from titoir parents. We're Just
starting p a Summer Camp for Under
fed Kids. Some ef us are going out
neat Saturday to see how the food Is,
and if there Is fishing for the kiddles.
But come to any of the meeting
and you'll see. The best tiling we've
starred yet Is out Leln of Huaior.
No, not honor, "Humor." It's a yel
low ribbon the color of spilled egg; It
goes on the lapel of the coat. When ever
any statesman or poiiHoJaa
makes a special apeeeh, the thin
called a "vital preaeaaaeanoat." we
seatd it te hfcss. Bat seme reasia sesaa
tine.

TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
ANSWERED AT STATE COLLEGE
Raleigh, Oct. 9
Q. How can I keep my cows from
eating dirt and chewing fence rails?
Ans. This is a sure sign that the
animals are not getting sufficient
minerals in the ration. Check the ra
tion and add the minerals that are de
ficient. If legume hays such as cow
pea, soybean, clover and alfalfa is
being fed, this will usually supply
the needed amount of calcium. If
the ration contains as much as thirty
percent of feeds rich in phosphorus,
such as wheat bran, cottonseed meal
and soybean meal, there should be a
sufficient amount of this mineral. See
that both minerals are in the ration.
It will not do any harm to allow the
animals free access to a mixture con
taining one part of salt and four
parts of steamed bone meal.
Q. How can I renew an old, run
Ans. Cut down all weeds and
shrubbery, and scratch the soil to a
depth of about two inches. Use a
heavy, spike tooth harrow for this
work, or it may be done with a disc
harrow if the disc is set almost
straight so as not to destroy the old
sod. The fertilizer is applied as soon
as the ground is scratched. Reseed
the land with selected mixture of
seed. If the old pasture is badly in
fested with obnoxious weeds it would
be best to break the land and grow
some crop before reseeding.
Few Glaciers Survive
Only 60 remnants of glaciers now
survive In Glacier National park as a
reminder of the time when the entire
region was covered with Ice. Cllm.ile
of this region was once almost tropi
cal and Infested with dinosaurs, ac
cording to the American Nature asso
ciation, but as mountains appeared the
weather grew cold. More snow fell
than the stiimner.s could melt and It
gradually packed Into Holds of lor-.
It Is estimated that the Ice In the
valleys was once over 2,00( feet deep.
But the climate wanned ngaln and
the melting Ice left one of America's
most beautiful parks. Pathfinder Mag
azine.
Q. Can I exDect heavv esrsr nro-
duction from cross bred birds?
Ans. Where well bred stock is
used on the first eras the rrns-
,bred birds will do well in the first
generation. There is usually an in
crease in vigor and esrur m-oduction in
the first cross, but further crossing
usually nas the opposite effects. The
birds fall off in Production, are more
subject to disease, and show a loss in
vigor and livability. In the long run,
it is best to sell all first generation
crosses after one year and start a
gain with baby chicks.
