Dear Sir-I noticed a few days
ago, in reading over your Depart
ment in The Journal. which, by the
way. enjoy very much. a gentle
man from Florida called for help in
regard to his dogs. In his COM
munication he stated that he had
given his dog a teaspoonful of call
omel. This act on his part calls
forth this note.
Calomel is a deadly poison to
dogs, as l know from experience. I
am told, but will not vouche for
it's entire truthfulness. that calomel
Is deadly to all animals born with
their eyes closed. / know 1t holds
good with dogs and rats, as cali
omel is one OF the deadliest rat
poisons 1 know Of Just mix lit
tie with cornmeal and place where
rats can eat 1t, and you will dem

if they want to keep their dogs.

The First Electric Light.

just thirty years ago this fall
Thomas A. Edison opened the first
electric light station In New York
City. This initial plant, which was
the beginning of a mighty industry,
was located in an old warehouse in
New York City, on Pearl Street. The
single dynamo, now preserved as a
curio, was driven by u steam engine
and supplied current to about four
hundred lamps distributed over a
territory about q mile square. The
wires we're all laid underground. The
newspapers were dubious about the
success of the new lamps, although
they admitted that they gave plenty of
light, but Edison himself, coatless and
collarless as he watched the machin.
cry, was thrilled with success.
The growth of electric lighting since
that eventful day, thirty years ago,
has been truly wonderful until now the
very world is illuminated nightly with
millions OF electric lights. The fret
electric motor was connected to the
electric light wires In 1884 and for elk
months, it is recorded, this same
motor lay around collecting dust be-
fore the company could find anyone
willing to try the new power producer.
Today, in New York City alone, near
" $50. 600 horse power is used In cleo
trio motors.

Army Uses Indian Methods.

The army's system Of day and night
signals on land and sea by means OF
military fireworks Is described In an
illustrated article 10 Popular Mechan-
les. 1t says:
As the Indians, since prehistoric
times, have used columns of smoke in
various combinations to sigoal the
approach of an enemy or to transmit
other messages, so the army signal
men have found most effective what
are known as smoke bombs or smoke
rockets. The former are fired from q
small morton, the latter In the same
way as Fourth of July fireworks.
Each when reaching q desired height,
regulated by q fuse, bursts and liber-
stes q picric acid compound which ig-
mites from the explosion, burning with
q cloud OF yellowish smoke which
may be seer for miles. By changing
chemical elements of the compound
various different colors can be pro-
duced, each to denote its own signal
or message. A humber OF other in
genious signals are described.

WOULD BENEFIT N

A vital difference exists between the
condition of farmers in this country
and farmers in various parts OF
Europe. One of the reasons that
American farmers do not get as large
a share of the profits of their business
as they should lies 10 the fact that
they are lot organized for credit pur-
poses, says a writer in Farm and
Fireside.
A system of cooperative rural
credits called the Raiffeisen system
has grown up in Germany to such an
extent til It last year the peasant farm.
ers of Germany did q cooperative
banking business of over $1,000. 0O0,.
600.
In the United States, 90 far as money
IL concerned, finance and commerce
are organized and agriculture is un'
organized, thus paving the way for the
trusts in agricultural products. In
Europe, on the other hand, co-opera-
tive agricultural credit is 80 strongly
r gained that 1t makes the cornering
of the farmers products and conse-
quently the debating Of prices q prac-
tical impossibility.
Why? Because the Raiffeisen sys-
tenn of cooperative banking enables
the European farmer to convert the
potential dollars represented by his
assets and his character into avail
able, mobile dollars. 1t Is the mobile
dollar which counts. which Is effective.
The mobility of the dollar renders the
trust the active and dominant factor
10 the United States. The immobility
of the American farmers potential
dollar renders him the passive and
dependent factor.
And 80 long as the American farmer
is a passive and dependent factor he
cannot hope to profit by the Incomplete
cooperative methods he now employs.
Whatever economies these may pro.
duce are n%eutralized so long as be
does not free himself from the defect
above indicated; they only serve as
additional sources of revenu to be
raked in by that arch croupier, the
trust.
OF course, it will be understood tina,
the success of cooperative banking
associations implies the adoption Of
legisl alive measures which will rende,
their operation effective. 1t also i'm
plies the rigid exclusion of any un
Trustworthy or unsound methods.
