Locating Forest Fires.

The system of locating fires
over wide areas of uninhabited
country as in use at the Sitgreaves
National Forest is so simple that
it leaves little room for error.
On certain high peaks watch
towers are established and on
the wall of the headquarters
there is a map accurately drawn
to scale. At the location of each
tower a thread is attached and
around the thread is a degree
scale. Tower No. l reports a
fire at so and tower No. 2 locates
the same fire at 130. The man
at head quarters then stretches
the thread from tower No. ]
across the 60 degree mark and
the thread from No. 2 across the
130 degree mark. Where the
two threads cross is the fire.
From the map he can tell how
and where it can be the most
quickly reached, and by telephone
men are Immediately sent to
commence the fight.

The Skeleton bridge across the

uation on the Coast will not be
calm and placid during the next
year or two.
While the packers and packers
feeders are executing a very
small sized corner on the beef
production, from all appearances,
in this small district, the price of
beef will no doubt be boosted, as
every advance will mean profit
on cattle already contracted. If
boosted high enough there is
every certainty of foreign dressed
beef coming in to take share
of the trade. This no doubt
would not displease American
packers who are heavily interes-
ted themselves in both South
America and Australia, and will
introduce another element to
help whip saw both the grower
and consumer.
Many people have heard of
Caroline Bartlett Crane and her
great work in reference to meat
inspection. Mrs. Crane is also
an expert in making cities sani-
tary and regulating various mat
terS.
In the various magazines there
appears articles by Mrs. Crane,
who helped establish municipal
abattoirs in several cities and
who has acted as the consulting
expert of some fifty American
cities, in regulating meat in
spection or other abuses.
There is some agitation and
dissatisfaction among certain re-
tail butchers, who want munich
pal killing, and the meat control
is being made too blatant and
self evident by packers feeders.
There is no question but that
if a person of Mrs. Cranes cali
bre undertook to write up and
show fully to the light of day
the beef situation, as it exists on
the coast, most interesting read
ing would result, and very posi-
bly, reduced meat cost to the con-
sumner, and better prices to the

ADDED PROTECTION
FOR ARIZONA GAME

A plan of cooperation in game
protection has been entered into
between the United States Forest
Service and State Game Warden
Rogers for Arizona, effective
August Is. BY this agreement,
Forest officers connected with
National Forest have been COM
missioned deputy game wardens.
Under the obligations assumed,
they. will pay strict attention to
the enforcement of the game
laws in so far as their duties
as Forest officers will permit, by
reporting all cases of violation of
the game law to the regular dep
uty state game warden in whose
district an offence is committed,
and make arrests in flagrant
cases where it is impossible to
notify the state game warden,
and where the violator is likely
to leave that section of the coun-
try; by furnishing the proper
officers all information available
which will assist them in appre-
hending or prosecuting violatOrs
of the game laws. The rangers
will further be expected, as far
as practicable, to keep a record
of the total number of game
animals, by classes, killed in
their districts; this information.
to be furnished the Forest Super
visor; he will transmit it for COM
pilation to the District Forester,
the latter in turn to forward it
to the State Game Warden at the
enc of the season.
The agreement entered into
also includes cooperation in fire
protection, i. e., in case the reg
ular deputy state game warden
discovers a forest fire on an area
within or contiguous to a Nation
al Forest. 1t is expected that he
will promptly notify the nearest
Forest officer of the fact.
Undoubtedly, this cooperation
in both game and fire protection
will prove mutually beneficial to
both State and Federal interests.

FARM GARDEN IS ESSENTIAL
Table Well Supplied With Fruits and
Vegetables Attracts ard Keeps
Good Farm Help.

CBy A f WOODS, Dean, Department OF
Agriculture, University Farm, St
Paul, MIMI
Most successful farmers are careful
to have good garden. 1t is usually
carefully fenced to keep out chickens,
dogs and stray animals and the soil
is made rich with barnyard compost
1t should be located as conveniently as
possible TO the dwelling house, but not
in the front yard
Too little attention is given as a
rule to planning the cropping system
Of the garden. The vegetables must
not be grown on the same spot each
season, but like other crops. must be
rotated to prevent the accumulation in
the soil Of Injurious insects, fungi and
bacteria. With little planning a sue
cession of vegetables, fruits and 6ow-
ers can be provided for the spring,
summer and fall, with q considerable
supply for canning and for winter use.
Fruits and vegetables not only il.
crease the healthfulness and attrac-
tiveness of the daily bill of fare, buE
they save a great deal of expense, and
are far better than the canned goods
from the store. The farmer who sets
a good table, well supplied with fruits
and vegetables, is making a high bid
to attract and keep good farm help.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCkLPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and Irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective. agree
able and economical On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint-
ment into the parting with a bit of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this. special treatment

DISEASE OF YOUNG ANIMALS
Colts and Calves Are Principal VIC
Tins, Although All Young May
Become Affected.

By e. T. BAKER, Veterinarian, Idaho
Experiment Station.)
Navel i'll, often called 'joint-ill' or
''foal lameness," is a disease of young
animals, occurring soon after birth,
and usually terminating in death.
1t is a form of blood poison enter
ing through the unhealed navel. The
first symptoms Of the disease noted
are swollen joints, fever, lameness and
later, assesses and diarrhoea, result
ing in death.
Colts and calves are the principal
victims, although all young may be-
come affected
The treatment is principally proven
ton. Do not turn. the mare about to
foal in an old filthy box stall, or in a
stall where the disease has occurred.
Remember it is highly contagious. Dis
infect the barn thoroughly. In warm
weather, turn the pregnant mares or
COWS outdoors Paint the navel cord
with a weak solution of tincture Of
iodine, or very weak carbolic acid
five drops of carbolic acid to a pint
of water Keep the young animal
clean, and examine the navel cord to
see if it is drying up normally.
