Is it not enough that we should have

Gasoline at the Poles.

The Amundsen and Scott expedi-
lions were greatly hindered through
losing much of their gasoline-a loss
that, in fact, had much to do with the
disaster that befell Captain Scott. Mr.
B. T. Brooks of the Mellon Institute
of Industrial Research thinks he
knows what caused the loss. At low
temperatures, he says, ordinary tin
tends to pulverize. At 81 degrees be-
low zero it pulverizes quickly and may
pulverize, although more slowly, at a
higher temperature. Now, hard solder
usually contains large percentage or
tin, and so, of course, disintegrates IN
the same way. Consequently the gas
cline cans are likely to leak at the
soldered seams. Mr.. Brooks suggests
that polar explorers carry their sup
plies of gasoline in containers made
OF glass, or of some metal unaffected
by extreme cold.-Youth's Companion.

FEEDING CALVES DRY GRAIN
Digestive Tract Is Small and Free
quent Feeds of Modest Amounts
During First Month Is Best.

In feeding skim milk calves the
grain needed to supply the missing
fat may be corn, barley, oats or
mixture. Occasionally feeder has
skim milk or alfalfa, or clover hay on
hand, and to these he adds linseed
meal. cottonseed meal or gluten feed.
These are all high in protein, and
when any one of them is combined
with skim milk and alfalfa-both high
in protein-an unbalanced ration re-
suits and scours or other digestive
troubles follow.
The digestive tract of a calf is
small and frequent feeding of small
amount during the first month is best.
During the first month it is better to
grind the grains fed. At the end of
this period either oats or corn may
be fed unground. Hard grains like
kafr and milo give best results when
ground. All grain should be fed dry
in a trough. Mixing feeds with milk
is not recommended, as calves chew
their feed better when fed dry.

BALANCE KEPT BY NATURE
Increase of the Human Race Seems to
Be Regulated by Wars and
Other Devastations.

Every year, according to scientists
who attempt to keep the general rec
ords. at least 100000 human beings
are born on this earth and 60,0O0,00O
or 100000 die. This indicates a
daily birth rate of about 100000 and
a death rate of 100000. The daily
Increase in population therefore is
about 100000 The total population OF
the globe is estimated at 1,S00,0O00OO,
The rayages of war do little to i'm
pede the increase. Far more effective
have been the upheavals of nature,
The Franco-Prussian war killed about
10000 in seven months. The death
roll of the Russo-Japanese reached
about 100000. A single earthquake
(1737, in India) has been estimated to
have caused 100000 deaths. The ia
talities of the Messina earthquake in
1908 cannot have been far short OF
100000. A tidal wave in 1896 drowned
$1,000 persons in Japan, causing a
greater loss of life than the whole
war with China in 1894 The earth
quake in Japan in 1903 is said to have
killed 100000 people. The Lisbon
earthquake in 1855 destroyed 10000
human lives, while 10000 we're lost in
the same year in earthquake in Per

HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes, and
similar itching skin and scalp troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar Of
resinol ointment and a cake of resinol
soap. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
oughly until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on a thin layer of the
resinol ointment, and cover with a
light bandage. This should be done
twice day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stops with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again.-Adv.

MAKING DIRT ROADS BETTER
Foreman Must Know What, How and
When to PIoW-Avoid Building Up
Too Much at One Time.
CBy E. VAN BENTHUYsEN)

(By Z. VAN BENTHUYSEN.)
With a sandy soil and a subsoil OF
clay, or clay and gravel, pillow deep
so as to raise and mix the clay with
the surface soil and sand. The com
bination forms a sand-clay road at
trifing expense.
If the road be entirely of sand a
mistake will be made if it is plowed,
unless clay can be added. Such plow-
ing would merely deepen the sand,
and at the same time break up the
small amount of hard surface material
which may have formed.
If the subsoil is clay, and the sur
face scant in sand or gravel, blowing
should not be resorted to, as it would
result in a clay surface rather than
one of sand or gravel.
A road foreman must know not only
what to pillow and what not to plow,
but how and when to pillow.
If the road is of the kind which, &C
cording to the above instructions,
should be plowed over its whole width,
the best method is to run the first
furrow in the middle of the road and
work out to the sides, thus forming a
crown. Results from such blowing are
greatest in spring or early summer.
In bitches a plow can be used to
good advantage, but should be fol.
lowed by scraper or grader. To
make wide, deep bitches nothing bet
ter than the ordinary drag scraper has

them, thus lessening the labor and
adding to the security of the con-

ton of the bucket is protected with
lid which almost covers the entire
opening, leaving only a small aper-
ture at the rim and in practice this
aperture is covered by piece of
fine cloth with provision made for
securing this in place. AS the milk

DAI!NN(yLES

Alfalfa is natures choicest gift to
the dairy farmer.
Feed the silage after milking or
an hour or two previous.
The development of the dairy heifer
begins with her feeding when calf.
A calf should be weaned from it's
mother within three days after its
birth
The COW is the unit of the dairy in
dustry. Upon her quality its success
depends. f..a 4aE ..4.
An abundance of alfalfa and bran
insures a sufficient amount of protein
and mineral matter.
One of the greatest arguments in
favor of fall freshening is that it
balances the work of the farm to a
nicely.
All bulls should be treated as though
they were ugly and vicious. Any other
method of treating them is careless in
the extreme.
Cream that is too ripe is not fit for
butter-making 1t should be churned
as soon as it reaches the proper de-
gree of acidity.
Corn cut at the dent stage of matur-
ity has reached it's maximum growth
and silage made at this time has its
maximum value.
Even under best of conditions
calves are inclined to bark apple
trees and should not be turned loose
in young orchards.
If milk contains large numbers Of
blood corpuscles or pus cells, it is
an indication that the COW from which
it was drawn is diseased.

vet been devised. For hauls under 100
feet, or in making fills" it is espe-
cially serviceable.
1t is a mistake, however, to attempt
to handle long-haul material with this
scraper, as the wheel-scraper is bet
ter adapted to such work. For hauls
of more than 800 feet, wagon should
be used. The machine most generally
used in road work is the grader or
road machine. This machine is espe-
cially useful in smoothing and crown
ing the road and in opening bitches.
A clay subsoil under a thin coating
of soil should not be disturbed with
a grader. 1t is also a mistake to use
a grader unfortunately and to pull
material from bitches upon a sandy
road.
Not infrequently turf, soil and silt
from ditch bottoms are piled in the
middle of the road in ridge, making
mudholes a certainty. 1t is important
in using a grader to avoid building up
the road too much at one time. A
road gradually built up by frequent
use of the grader will last better than
if completed at one operation.
The foreman frequently thinks his
road must be high in the first instance.
He piles up material from ten inches
to foot in depth, only to learn, with
the arrival of the first rain, that he
has furnished the material for so many
inches of mud. All material should
be brought up in thin layers, each
layer we'll puddled and firmly packed
by a roller or traffic before the next
is added. A common mistake is to
crown too high with the road machine
on a narrow road.
The split-log drag should be used to
fill the ruts and smooth the road when
not too badly washed. The drag pos
sesses great merit and is so simple in
construction and operation that every
farmer should have one.
