Wireless Invented BY schooIhoy.

Guglielmo Mareoni was only fiji
teen years old when he studied at
the universities CT Bologna and
Padua and began his electrical re-
searches. In the course of the next
few years he began the study Of the
so-called Hertzian waves, or electro
cal impulses which travel through
the air without the use of a wire.
In 1895, when he was only twenty
years old, his advanced knowledge
on this obscure subject inspired
him with the theory that these waves

Notice to the public.

Owing to the high stage OF the
water in the Mississippi river, 1t il
deemed necessary, as measure OF
preeaution, that the custom of per.
hitting cattle and horses to roam
on the levees should be discontinued
Immediately.
Owners Of such stock are requssr-
ed, therefore, to keep their animals
Off the levees until the flood has
subsidized. By taking notice of this
warning and complying with the re.
quest, owners of horses and cattle
will save themselves annoyance and
trouble. ADOLPHE METER,

How to Double Egg Production.

(. SLOW ~ SSGlfS I9S TESa6SkiSiis
| In the current issue Of Farm and
Fiteside, a contributor says poultry
raisers can practically double their
egg production if they persistently
use the trap-nest. Following is an
| extract from his article:
For the benefit Of those who are
not acquainted with the trap-nest /
will explain in detail it's purpose.
| The trap-nest is a nest SO contrived
that when the hen enters she springs
a trap which closes the door and
holds her captive until she is re
Leased by the attendant. The nest
is of sufficient size to allow the hen
/ plenty of space to move around in,
or she would be apt to break the
/! egg.
by taking the hens of highest
I trap-nest record and mating them
with males descended from heavy
/ layers you will lay the foundation Of
good strain Of heavy layers. By
careful ira p-llest eaIl ling and with
the same care in breeding, year af-
ter year, Won will build your flock
up to high state of efficiency.
1t is not at all uncommon for
flocks that are trap-nested to aver
age $50 eggs per hen pei. year. At
the same time these fIocks not in
frequently contain individuals that
have a record of 200 to 23O eggs each
per year.
The latest figures at hand from
the Department of Agriculture declare
the average farm hen lays less than
eighty eggs per year. Sixty eggs
per hen per year would probably be
oFer-estimating the average, uncared
for farm hen. At any rate, the
great difference between 200 to 230
eggs and so or so eggs is enough to
think about seriously

Interesting Contest Announced.

A gold medal to the school boy or
! girl between the ages Of ID and lo
/ years who writes the best COMPOST
/ ton, not to exceed 800 words, on
| the repair and maintenance Of earth
t roads, is to be awarded by Logan
! Waller Page, director of the Office
Of Public Roads, United States De
! partne1t OF Agriculture, Washington,
ID. G. All compositions must be sub
mitted to Mr.. Page before May Is,
1918, and the medal will be awarded
as soon thereafter as the papers can
be graded. The composition may be
based on knowledge gained from
books or other sources, but no quo
tations should be made.
| After many years experience III
dealing with the public road situa-
| zion Of the country, it is Mr.. Pages
Belief that ignorance on the subject
OF repair and maintenance of roads
is as much the cause Of their bad
condition as any other one factor.
! It is expected the competition will
bring about a better understanding
Of the subject of repair and main
tenance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
Yantages of roads made impossible
through a lack of proper mainte-
nance, and it is expected their inter-
est in the competition will stimulate
greater interest among the parents.
Bad roads have prevented many
children from obtaining a proper ed
ucation and have even prevented doc
tors from reaching the side Of rural
patients in time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages men
toned, attending a country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on; each page
should be numbered the name, age and
address Of the writer, and the name
and location of the school which he
or she is attending, must be plainly
written at the top of the first page.
The announcement Of the competi-
ton has been sent to the superin-
tendents of schools in the rural dis
tricts. No further information can
be obtained from the Office Of Pub
lie Roads. This announcement should
be plain to every one, and all children
will thus start on basis Of equality.

Working to save Rice Industry.

Inc southern Rlce Growers Assoc
citation has secured concerted action
by rice farmers of Louisiana, Texas
and Arkansas in an attempt to
convince congress that the reduction
OF fifty Per cent in the tariff on all
grades OF imported rice is too much.
1t is urged that the cut should be
not more than twenty-five per cent
on clean rice, leaving the other items
as they stand, except as to the tariff
on brewers rice, which should be
increased instead Of reduced, for
the reason that reduction of the tar
iii on this by-product benefits only
the brewer, who has not asked for
reduction, and hurts only the farm
er. 1t is inconceivable that con-
gress will fail to amend this pro-
posed item of the schedule when the
undisputed fact becomes known that
the domestic 'beer-maker and the
foreign miller are the only ones who
can possibly be benefitted-unless
the brewers find it possible to sell
a, bigger glass Of beer for "a nickel
and the farmer is the only one who
can possibly be hurt
Public meetings have been held
this week in Arkansas and Louisi-
ana for the purpose of securing
united action in the campaign for a
revision OF the proposed tariff SEIZED
ules on imported rice.

How to Know Scarlet Fever.

Scarlet fever is one of the most
dangerous of the diseases OF child

the fever may be fully developed.
The symptoms are ch5Ils, nausea,
headache, sore throat and a Tapidlr
rising temperature. The rash ustl-
ally appear. on the second day. l.
consists of minute red points which
show on the neck, chest and trunk,
and extend to the limbs. The tongue
is thickly coated with a white fur,
through which appears little red
points which give to it the name Of
strawberry tongue. There is al
ways more or less sore throat, and
the tonsils are usually iaflamed
The rash passes off about the sew
enth day, after which the peeling
of the skin begins. It is usually seen
first on the hands and feet. The skin
and dust which come off are e1-
tremely infectious, and to prevent
them being blown about the body
should be well fabricated with pure
olive oil slightly carDolized.
In all cases of infectious diseases,
the patient should be separated
from the rest of the family and kept
in a well ventilated room, and il
scarlet fever should remain there
fer several days after the peeling OF
the skin is completed. All curtains,
carpets and furniture should be re
moved, excepting what are absolute
ly necessary for the patient and the
nurse. All bed linen, night dresses,
etc, should be soaked in the follow
ing solution for one hour: Sulphate
Of zinc, eight ounces; carbolic acid,
one ounce; water, three gallons.
