The following la selected by Troop 1, Naisreth B. S. A. from an editor- lAl by James E. West, Chief Scout Executive and Editor of "Boys' Life." Plorlda. Murpbyaboro, Santa Barbara and now Florida! At each place tbe lo cal members of tbe Boy Scouts of America had their "baptism of flre." Without tbe slightest warning they found themselves the center of a world that crumbled about their esra! No words can describe what hap¬ pened in Florida. Even one's Imag¬ ination Is Inadequate. Rain and wind, wind and rain for forty-eight hours, the gale at Its worat reaching a velocity of one hundred and thirty- seven miles per bour. The roofs of tbe houses were lifted off, automobilea overturned, supporta csve way, snd building! crumbled: trees were uprooted: huge seas swept ovar Um low'lytaa iMid ao tbat sen- going ehlps csme snlllng down Msln street! Hundreds were killed, thou¬ aanda Injured, and the property dam¬ age ran Into hundreds of millions ot dollars! What would you do If you found your roof was falling In. while at the same time tbe sea was creeping In through your second story win¬ dow? Literally tbat was what hap¬ pened to many Scouta. It was an or¬ deal to try men's souls. "Strong" men broke down. Many "weak" men showed the quality of heroes. In the hour of need the Scouts' re¬ sponse was typical: he was out help¬ ing the other fellow. "Theirs was the work of men." That was the comment made by one of Miama'H newspapers when ap- i praising editorially the work done by Scouts of that district. They were out hours hefore the official call for their services. Some of their work was spectacular but moat of it was the useful ordinary tasks at which others halked. And tbey did It yiarveloiiHly. The West¬ ern Union found them as messengers twice as efllcient aa they expected. The .<4cout uniform with its flowing; neckerchief was seen everywhere, helping refugees, guarding housea. repairing damage, running errands, assisting doctors and nurses. They pitched tents and cooked food. They displayed initiative. Tbelr well doing is becoming pro¬ verbial. The public ia beginning to realise thnt tbe Scout troop is a civic asset: not tomorrow hut today. Some people assert that it rained frogs during the hurricane. No ques¬ tion about it mining Good Turns. A MeHHMffi* to tiarciii.

(.'ows that are abuned and poorly fed are poor producers. A cow stable to be ranltary should be well liKliled. \entilated and whlte- was'ied.

Their troughs should be tight so that the food c^n uot lodge In be¬ tween the cracks and get sour, so aa to make the trouKhs unsanitary. The troughs should also be at such a height so that the cows can eat easily out of them. The feed of dairy cows should be well balanced so that It contains enough protein and not too much, be¬ cause too mucb is Injurious, and not enough is not profltable. Alfalfa or clover hay should be fed to tbe dairy cows. Mouldy hay, corn stover or silage should not be fed. because it will reduce the flow of thetr milk, and is liable to make them aick. Dairy cows should be regularly fed. watered (Continued on Page Bight) T CAGE TEAM GOING STRONG The latest victory of the Nuzareth "Y" basket ball team was against The St. Paul's (South Siile) Kaston quin¬ tet in the Nazareth gym last Thurs¬ day nlKht.

WHAT BOV H(X>l"rH ARR DOING.
The following la selected by Troop 1, Naisreth B. S. A. from an editor- lAl by James E. West, Chief Scout Executive and Editor of "Boys' Life."
Plorlda. Murpbyaboro, Santa Barbara and now Florida! At each place tbe lo cal members of tbe Boy Scouts of America had their "baptism of flre." Without tbe slightest warning they found themselves the center of a world that crumbled about their esra!
No words can describe what hap¬ pened in Florida. Even one's Imag¬ ination Is Inadequate. Rain and wind, wind and rain for forty-eight hours, the gale at Its worat reaching a velocity of one hundred and thirty- seven miles per bour.
The roofs of tbe houses were lifted off, automobilea overturned, supporta csve way, snd building! crumbled: trees were uprooted: huge seas swept ovar Um low'lytaa iMid ao tbat sen- going ehlps csme snlllng down Msln street! Hundreds were killed, thou¬ aanda Injured, and the property dam¬ age ran Into hundreds of millions ot dollars!
What would you do If you found your roof was falling In. while at the same time tbe sea was creeping In through your second story win¬ dow? Literally tbat was what hap¬ pened to many Scouta. It was an or¬ deal to try men's souls. "Strong" men broke down. Many "weak" men showed the quality of heroes.
In the hour of need the Scouts' re¬ sponse was typical: he was out help¬ ing the other fellow.
"Theirs was the work of men." That was the comment made by one of Miama'H newspapers when ap- i praising editorially the work done by Scouts of that district.
They were out hours hefore the official call for their services. Some of their work was spectacular but moat of it was the useful ordinary tasks at which others halked. And tbey did It yiarveloiiHly. The West¬ ern Union found them as messengers twice as efllcient aa they expected. The .<4cout uniform with its flowing; neckerchief was seen everywhere, helping refugees, guarding housea. repairing damage, running errands, assisting doctors and nurses. They pitched tents and cooked food. They displayed initiative.
Tbelr well doing is becoming pro¬ verbial. The public ia beginning to realise thnt tbe Scout troop is a civic asset: not tomorrow hut today.
Some people assert that it rained frogs during the hurricane. No ques¬ tion about it mining Good Turns. A MeHHMffi* to tiarciii. We were rather intereste |
