Handsome Creighton waits for his sweetheart Meely Schwenckton at their secret place. She arrives late and demure, his infatuation clashing with her distant, unfamiliar manner. In Meely’s boardinghouse she speaks differently, revealing a broader world beyond their meeting.
Meely observes a troubled household where Aunt Rosy and Sam Schwenckton debate care for Susie and the ill Lizzie. Marvin Creighton’s political role and wealth strains with the miner family dynamic, while Meely’s presence unsettles the routine as accusations fly about secrets and discipline.
Prof. B Munro Fox notes in the Forum that certain desert mammals such as the desert fox and kangaroo rat show natural immunity to scorpion venom. He suggests this immunity arose from ancestral survivors who endured stings, leaving descendants with resistance.
The world’s longest railroad tunnel is claimed to be the Brig to Gella route in Switzerland, reportedly 1944 miles long. The remark appears in Liberty and is followed by a note on wealth not enlightening the world.
Poultry keepers may continue the all-mash method for laying pullets. The Ohio experiment station reports satisfactory fall and winter egg production. Recommendations include increasing meat scraps to 10 percent, reducing corn to 65 percent, using coarser ground wheat, providing 20 to 24 feet of feeder space per 100 birds, feeding fresh mash each evening, and using electric lights and warm moist mash for cold weather. Details available from the Ohio experiment station at Wooster.
The article explains laying hens require a high protein ration to sustain heavy egg production. It notes home grown grains are mainly carbohydrate rich, and mill feeds provide more protein than whole grains but still fall short without a protein rich supplement, which would otherwise force surplus body fat instead of eggs.
Rutgers extension specialist L. M. Black says mating and egg selection will soon yield flocks laying uniformly colored, large eggs. He notes chicks inherit egg type from their origin and recommends choosing strong breeding sires with a history of large, well formed eggs. Old adage, As the bird, so the egg, is cited for poultrymen.
The article notes that fowls need vitamins differently by season and that green foods and sunshine largely supply missing nutrients. It suggests alfalfa leaves placed for birds to eat as a green material source, especially in winter and early spring.
Sunlight helps hens lay strong shelled eggs and improve hatchability. If hens are kept indoors they should be turned to the sun or bright days. When closed up, keep windows open midday to let direct rays in, or use glace substitutes to admit more light.
