TELEPHONE AND THE FARMER

In speaking of the recent change in
its telephone exchange, made by the
Western Electric company at Peta-
luna, California, the Petaluma Courier
gives an exposition of the value of the
telephone, which the farmers in this
vicinity should profit by. To quote the
Courier:
"The addition of the farmers lines
will not only be great advantage to
the farmer, but will also tend to great
ly increase the business of the city.
"Only recently has the farmer seen
the great benefits to be derived from
the use of the telephone. 1t used to
happen that frequently farmer would
come to town with a load of grain or
produce and stand around all day wait
ing for the highest bidder on the load.
If it happened that he came at a time
when the market was favorable, he
might get bids unless the buyers had
cliqued against him; but more orten
all day and then either sell at the same
price offered in the morning or haul
the load back home.
cit 8 different now. The rural tele-
phone has changed all this. Today the
1dIulST has no GACuS6 lOI uTlN1nR TO
town without first knowing the exact
condition of the market, for he can
call up the buyer in advance and if the
market is right he can contract for his
produce before leaving home.
fThis enables him to get the high
est possible price for his produce and
consequently he has more money to
spend in town.
"This is only one of the many uses
of the telephone by which the farmer
is greatly benefited. Today there is
hardly any one in a well settled coun-
try who has not awaited himself of it
by telephoning for doctor when some
one was i'll or for broken part of a
machine that stopped farm operations
until it was mended.
"The telephone is a great protec.
ton against loss of crops due to sud
den weather changes. Recently the
United States weather bureau has put
into operation system which will en-
able them to warn the fruit grower
in advance when any sudden drop in
the temperature is expected. By
means of a main Office and various
sub-stations these reports are sent Out
over a telephone to practically al
fruit growers. A clerk is on duty a
all hours at the Los Angeles Office tt
send out these warnings. When moth
fed of an expected drop in tempera
ture the fruit grower can make thu
necessary arrangements for protecting
his crops.
"Socially the telephone has worked
wonders among the farmers and by it
use the geratest disadvantage of farm
life-that of social isolation-has beer
overcome.
"These are only a few of the man.
uses which the successful farmer make
of his telephone. In short he is il
touch not only with his neighbors bu
the entire world"

Good Blood

SaFeapariIIa has an unapproached
record as a bIood-purifIer.
It effects its wonderful cures, not
simply because it contains sarsaparilla
but because it combines the utmost
remedial values of more than 20 different
ingredients. There is no real substitute
for it. If urged to buy any preparation
said to be Just as good' you may be
sure it is inferior, costs less to make,
and yields the dealer a larger profit.

Standard Time.

There are four brands of "Standard
Time" in this country, called the
Eastern" "Central," "Mountain "
and "Pacifc. -"
The difference in time between the
sections is one hour; that is, when it is
3 D. m. at New York, it is 2 p. m. at
Chicago, / p. m. at Denver, and IL n.
at San Francisco.
The eastern belt runs from the
Atlantic coast to line drawn from
Detroit, Mich, to Charleston, 8. c.; the
"Central," from this line to one ex-
tending from Bismarck, N. D., to the
mouth of the Rio Grande; the "Moun'
tain" from here to the western boun-
Diary of Montana, Idaho, Utah and Ari,
iona; and the "Pacific" takes in the
rest of the country.
The exact "local" time of any place
varies according as it is east or west
of a given time Notwithstanding
Out of total of 1927, 900 acres OF
cultivated land in Siberia, 11,625,00C
are under crops.

The Red Cross First Aid Legion Of
Illinois, a state organization planned
for some time, is fact.
The ideal at which it aims is 10000
men in Illinois trained by officers and
surgeons of the United States army
and equipped similarly to the Illinois

The Chicago crib disaster is pointed
to as an illustration of the advantage
of having a large state organization
composed of workingmen in every di-
vision Of labor, who will be trained in
first aid medical science.

One Of the largest sawmills in the

By burning resinous materials to the

Many old workings in the Pennsyl-
vania anthracite field, abandoned years

A vacuum cylinder, for the preserva-

An alloy of nine parts of lead, two

The increased demand for tungsten

in 1907 led to the production of 1910
short tons Of concentrates, valued at

Strangers are sometimes surprised by
the fear Of vipers which exists in some
parts of France. These little venomous
snakes are dangerous both to man and
beast Recently a movement has been
made to protect the vipers, on the
ground that they render valuable serv-
ices in destroying rodents, mollusks,
and other small noxious animals, but
writer in the Journal of Practical
Agriculture strenuously opposes this,
declaring that the services performed
by the vipers are Of small account In
comparison with the accidents, fire.

instances a little neighbOrhood in the
Department Of Meurthe-et-Moselle,
where the vipers became a veritable
plague, and where, inspired by the offer
OF a reward, two hunters destroyed
10000 of them.
The increasing employment of re-
ducing agents Of many kinds in the
manufacture of steel is primarily due
to the necessity of getting rid of blow
holes and gas bubbles. The reductors
effect this by absorbing and removing
the gases dissolved in the molten metal.
But they render another important
service also by adding, by their pres
ence in small quantities, to the tensile
strength of the steel. Ferrosilic1um,
for instance, when employed as a re-
ductor. increases the strength of the
steel about 10 per cent. Calcium also
has an excellent effect, and with van
adium the strength of the steel is
sometimes doubled. Vanadium also
greatly increases the resistance Of steel
TO the effects Of vibration. and conse-
ouently vanadium-steel is largely en-
ployed for the manufacture of automo-
bile machinery.
