Artie Blanchard joins a charity church event after Mrs. Morton, wife of the manager, compels each man to buy a ticket. He attends, brags of his own showmanship, and observes the crowd, performers, and Mrs. Morton’s influence, while reflecting on the town’s gullibility and his own schemes.
The article traces oldest fruit trees in California missions. Olive and date trees and pomegranate bushes survive at San Diego and other mission gardens. It notes imports from France and Spain after 1521 and Vancouver's 1792 discovery of pomegranates among mixed fruits at Mission San Buenaventura.
J C Taylor of Rutgers College explains early recognition as key to controlling coccidiosis in chicks. The disease appears mainly from four to eight weeks, causes listless behavior and white beaks, and diagnosis may involve examining enlarged cece. Clean brooder houses every five days, relocate or confine to prevent spread, and use a milk based mash during outbreaks before returning to regular feed.
For poultry yards and houses choose dry gravelly or sandy soils with natural drainage. If terrain hampers drainage, use artificial means to dry the site. Excessive moisture and surface water like pools or puddles are harmful and should be avoided in poultry yards.
The article argues that flock returns depend on egg production and suggests improving current stock to raise laying ability. It favors raising from existing standard-breed poultry, noting substantial improvements can occur in a few years. Trapnests are not required, but records speed progress.
Guidance warns against hatching from hens that laid heavily all winter and from pullet eggs. Avoid starting season with an old rooster or one rooster for many hens. Don’t overfeed meat while saving eggs and do not keep eggs beyond ten days.
For hatchlings one should delay feeding until forty eight to seventy two hours old. The first feed should be sour milk or buttermilk to avoid white diarrhea. Afterward give grain equal parts fine cracked corn and cracked wheat or rolled oats and offer scratch feed five times daily for about 15 minutes.
