Correction.

The report in Mondays Kennebec
Journal contained so many incorrect
statements in regard to the shooting
of Il. II. Thomas by Kenneth Lee of
Augusta, that we desire to make some
corrections. Mr. Thomas went into
the woods on the Scribner farm pass
ing to the Allen lot where he started
a partridge in an open hardwood
growth which one could see through.
He walked about two rods after the
partridge passed out of sight when he
heard rustling and thinking some
one else was hunting was about to
shout when the full charge of shot
struck him. Mr.. Thomas was not sit
ting on stump and is not hard oil
hearing and never saw any one in the
woods until after he was shot when
his cries for help brought Kenneth
Lee. Mark Johnson and George Par
sons. who assisted him to the house.

MACHINE TESTS HEART BEATS
New Device Takes Photograph of
Hearts Action and Aids in dag
nosis of Disease.

Baltimore, Md.-An apparatus is
now in use In the medical world for
measuring disturbances in the activ-
ity of the heart. 1t consists of mag
net to which is attached a thin wire
through which an electric current is
set in motion. The wire in turn is
attached to mirror which reflects an
oscillating beam of light by the aid of
a bow lamp on to sensitized photo
graphic paper. A line is thus traced
on the paper in the same measure as
the current went out from the heart,
as shown in the accompanying illus
tration.
1t is known that an imaginary line
through the body has on one side all
the currents generated by one side of
the heart, and on the other side the
currents generated by the opposite
side, so that by connecting an cleo
trode to each side of the body, obliter
ating all other currents Of the body by
placing them as nearly as possible at
rest, the physician has the current of
the heart where he can measure and
examine it.
The patient is put at rest, one cleo
trode is fastened to his arm, and one

After he has opened the way to a
storehouse, his wife secures the food
and then shows her affection for her
mate by feeding him first. According
to the Maoris, when one of these
birds die, the companion soon yields
to starvation, for he is inconsolable
and will not eat.
There are very few huias in the
world today What few that are left
are in captivity. Only scattering
numbers may be found in New Zea-
land, their habitat. The bird is
member of the starting family and is
confined to the forests of certain
mountain ranges. In size it is about
as large as an American thrush.
Both sexes are glossy green-black,
excepting a white terminal band upon
the tail and large rounded wattles at
the cape, which are orange red. The
birds nest in hollow trees.

generated by the movement of the
heart of the patient is conducted to

the amount of current flowing through
it.
An arc light is thrown through a

ing wire. the shadow from which is
thrown through another microscope,
which magnifies it 600 times and
throws the shadow through slit at
right angles to the position OF the
wire upon a screen. Back of the
screen is camera with rotating
film. which takes record picture of

Size of the Oceans.

once remarked that most men seemed
TO be as ignorant about the size of the
sea as they are of the distance be-
tween the heavenly planets. Here are
a few facts: The Pacific covers g.
900 coo miles; the Atlantic 30,O00,000,
and the Indian ocean, Arctic and
Antarctic 100000. To stow away
the contents of the Pacific it would
be necessary to fill tank one mile
long, one mile wide and one mile deep
every day for 440 years. Put in fig
ures. the Pacific holds IN weight 948,-
coo. 900, 900, 900 100000 tons. The At
lantic averages a depth of not quite
three miles It's waters weigh 325, 000,,
OO0, 600, 000, 100000 tons, and a tank to
contain it would have each of it's
sides 430 miles long. The figures of

IMPORTANCE OF ERADTCATlNC
INJURIOUS CATTLE TICK
Southern States Need Better Live Stock and
Larger Dairy 1ndustry-Objects be Promoted
by Destroying Pest

the pasture, or those which hatch
from eggs laid by females already
there, will all eventually meet death
Such of these as get upon the cattle
from time to time will be destroyed by
the treatment, while those which fail
to find a host will die in the pasture
from starvation
Animals may be freed of ticks in
two ways. They may be treated with
an agent that will destroy all the ticks
present, or they may be rotated at
proper intervals on tfck-free fields un-
til all the ticks have dropped.
Spraying is probably the most con-
venient and practical way of treating
cattle on the majority of farms. A
good style of pail spray pump will be
sufficient for treating small herds
About Is feet of 3-3 inch high-pressure
hose is required and type Of nozzle
furnishing a cone-shaped spray Will
be found satisfactory. A nozzle with
two small an aperture should not be
used
Every portion of the body should be
thoroughly treated, special attention
being given to the head, dewlap
brisket, inside of elbows, thighs and
TANKS, the tail and the depresrions at
the base of the tail. Crude Gil alone
may be used, but in general 20 to "a
per cent. emulsion will be better.
All the cattle should be sprayed
every two weeks and the treatment
should not be discontinued simply be-
cause the ticks have become scarce OF
seem to have disappeared.
In localities where ticks commonly
occur on cattle in considerable mum
bers during the winter time it will be
advisable to continue spraying. In 10
calities where ticks disappear or are
present in very small numbers during
the winter, the cattle should be In
spected carefully each week to remove
and destroy any ticks that may be
present. When warm weather comes
1t will be well in all cases in which
spraying has been discontinued dur
ing the winter to begin spraying and
continue until it can be determined
with certainty that eradication has
been accomplished. The spraying
should not be delayed until ticks show
again in considerable numbers. One
tick destroyed in the early spring will
save the trouble of destroying thou
sands a few months later.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1911-03-09

The eradication of the cattle tick
from the southern states is problem
OF prime importance to the agricul-
tural interests of that section. More
over, the good that would result from
the elimination of the tick would not
be entirely confined to the region di-
rectly concerned, and thus the matter
assumes to certain degree national
Importance.
The south needs more and better
live stock and larger dairy industry,
and these objects would be greatly
promoted by the destruction OF the
tick. The increased production of live
stock by reason of its important bear
ing in maintaining and improving the
fertility of the soil, would be of dis
tinct benefit in increasing the yield of
field crops. An incidental though I'M
portant advantage of stock raising and
dairying would be found in the distri-
button of the farmers income through
out the year, enabling him to live on
a cash basis. 1t can thus be seen that
the benefits which would accrue to
southern agriculture from the EXTERN
nation of the cattle tick would be
very great and far-reaching.
There are several species of cattle
ticks, but the chief one is commonly
called the cattle" or Texas fever"
tick. 1t is the one most frequently
found on cattle and is much more
abundant than the other species.
When the losses occasioned by this
parasite are once thoroughly under
stood by farmers and stockmen there
will be little need for arguments in
favor of tick eradication. Some of the
losses are not directly noticeable and
consequently make little impression,
while other losses properly charge
able to the tick are frequently attrib-
uted to other causes.
Various writer's have estimated the
annual loss due to the tick at from
s4O,OOO,OO to $1OO,00o,OoO These fig
ures should be ample argument, even
to the most comprehensive, for the
eradication of the pest.
In getting rid of the tick, 1t may be
attacked on the pasture and on the
cattle.
In freeing pastures the method fol-
lowed may be either a direct or an
indirect one.
The former consists in excluding all
cattle, horses and mules from pas
lures until all the ticks have died from

plow has scratched over the land, by
being thrown broadcast, and covered
by hauling bunch OF brush over the
land When the rice is about one
foot or IS inches high it is cut dowS
with grass hooks; not even a scytnG
is used for this work. This cutting
back is said to make the rice grGw
more bunchy and enables the r;ca
plant to get the best of the weeds,
whereas, if the land had been proper,
ly plowed before planting, therH
would be no weeds and this cutting
back would not be necessary. Some
eight or ten days before cutting OF
harvesting time the water is shut on
from the rice fields to allow the rics
to ripen, when it is cut with the sama
grass hooks. 1t is then piled up FOR
three days, when it is threshed by be-
ing hand beaten on rock, by which
process five to ten per cent. of tho
grain remains on the straw. During
the eight or ten days the field is dry.
ing out loss of about 40 per cent OF
grain occurs from various causes.
This style OF farming, without
farm implements, could be continued
through the long list of crops that are
raised in that country.
