Ever since the first fire department
was organized IN ancient Rome, coun-
tries have We'd with one another in
the development of efficient fire-con-
trolling apparatus, endeavoring to make
fire the Servant of man rather than
the "scourge" of main One of the
greatest problems has been the propul-
sion of fire apparatus, and at present
the greatest effort is being made to
develop motor-propelled appliances. 1t
Is interesting to follow the develop
ment of fre-fighting from the early
period when the bucket brigade" was
the most efficient means of combating
the enemy. The hand engine and man
pulled hose carriage were considered
marvels of efficiency in their day, but
1t is with mixture of curiosity and
amusement that we now look upon ap-
paratus relegated to the glass cases and
rusty, environs of museums. In 1875,
shortly after the period of the erea
fires which devastated some of our
cities, new movement sprang up
which heralded the modern building
era and modern fire-controllng ap-
pliances. At this time steam engines
came INTO general use. The inclusion
or hre fighting among the scientific
problems of the day as one worthy Of
serious consideration dates frori mod
ern times, and hence the many i'm
provements which have been introduce
ed into its practice are all of such
recent origin that even now they are
only just emerging from an embryonic
stage.
1t Is with considerable interest that
fire chiefs throughout the country are
watching the results and performance
OF electrically propelled fire trucks and
engines in the cities where they have
been adopted The very many OBJ
stacles that present themselves in the
changing of horse-drawn to motorized
apparatus of a large fire department
are such that the utmost care must be
used to secure that method of pro-
puision for apparatus that will give
speed. reliability. and efficiency, to-
gether with ease and economy Of
operation. In these points the advan-
tage of the electric over other meth
DDS of propulsion is fast establishing
itself.

They went through the German lines
like a knife through butter. 1t was
simply that they had not realized what
war is. That is one of the best regi-
ments Of the army today. Joffre had
not time to do as another French gen
eral did at the battle of the Marne.
Two green regiments had melted before
his eyes the moment they came under
fire. They had been rushed straight
from the train to the firing line. When
the third regiment came he placed it on

will go into the battle or back to your

At noon a delegation from that regi-
ment was clamoring with tears for per-
mission to go into the fight. They had
had time to get over the first assault
to the nerves and to feel the anger of
men who were watching their fellows
die. They were veterans when they
have been veterans ever since. The
French leader is often inspired. The
discipline he enforces is as effective
as that in any other army in the world,
but he secures 1t by psychological
means. His men would not endure the
whip p-and-guardhouse method.

Runt n b common pigeon. A few
breeders separated the sexes during
the Noting period; that is, during late
summer and early fall. Slightly more
than one-half allowed their pigeons
free range. Barley, rye, sorghum seed,
and prepared mixed pigeon feeds were
additional feeds mentioned. Most
farmers who did not keep their pi-
geons confined fed only grains which
they raised. such as corn. wheat. and
oats. Twelve per cen mixed fine salt
with grit and oyster shell, and s per
cent fed the salt dissolved in the
drinking water. Oyster shell and grit
were supplied by most breeders. A
few used special tonics during the
melting period. Only 33 per cent
reported the use Of tobacco stems or
leaves. as against so per cent among
the larger breeders.
The diseases most frequently men,
toned were canker, going light, and
roup. The principal method of treat
ment was prevention; by keeping
everything clean, using disinfectants
freely, and killing sick or diseased
pigeons. Remedies mentioned for pre-
venting sickness were the use of kero-
sene oil, permanganate Of potash,
lime, copper sulphate, carbolic acid.
sulpho-napthol, quassia chips, EPSON
salts, Venetian red, tincture Of g~entian,
or a tonic in the drinking water. Dry
sulphur and diluted peroxide of hydro.
gen were used in treating canker, and
kerosene oil for roup. A few allowed
diseased pigeons their freedom when
they had been kept confined. About
cne-fourth reported some loss from
rats, but most of the larger breeders
made their pens rat proof. Losses
from hawks and cats were reported il
some cases where the pigeons were
allowed their freedom.
The average yearly profit from eacl
pair of breeders varied from 20 cent!
to $3.50, and averaged 1929. Thu
profit from breeders who sold stool
largely for breeding purposes variet
from $40 to $40 per pair. The average

ment. The easiest outlet is in front
In practice this plan works the best
because it keeps the dampness away
from the nests il is in plain sight
where the men arc likely to be remind
ed of the necessity of keeping the
house clean. This arrangement keeps
the bedding dry with little labor.
All concrete hog house floors should
haye raised wooden platforms for the
nests. These platforms should be made
of matched boarding nailed to 2x4's
turned on edge. Each nest should
have a rail of 2x4's to keep the bed
ding in place and this rail should be
set in from the edge of the floor about
three inches, to form a step for little
pigs. The nests should be movable
for easy cleaning.
1t is common practice to raise the
| nests above the foor at cleaning time
| by placing them on top of the division
| fences They are then entirely out o.
the way OF cleaning. so a thorough
Job may be done. Sometimes perma
nent cleats are nailed to the walls to
hold the nests when lifted. The bed
ding, of course. should be renewed
often enough to keep it clear and san
itary.
1t is better 70 run the bedding
through the cutting box. especially for
sows with small pigs; but it pays to
cut the bedding for other hogs, be
cause the short lengths of straw get
scattered around the floor and absorb
liquid manure much better than long
straw.
We are learning the value Of liquid
manure from numerous experiments
at the various agricultural experiment
stations. and we are often surprised
at the splendid results.

hogs will live together in a pen with
out injury to each other, but a larger
number are likely to pile up to keep
warm and the smaller ones are in dan
ger of being ~smothered. Such losses
rarely occur when the number is lin.
tied to five, especially when they are
practically the same in size. There is
no criticism against making small pens
in a winter hog house.
Ventilation is another necessity in a
close-built hog house. This plan pro
vides ten windows and seven doors, all
or any of which may be opened to let
the fresh air in and the foul air out.
While ventilation is necessary in a hog
house a draft is a bad thing. To pre-
vent drafts the sill Is imbedded on the
top of the wall in fresh cement NOR
tar; the mortar is troweled against the
stills both inside and outside. A draft
coming through under the sill is just
the right height to do the most dam
age.
The wooden walls above the stills
are made carefully by using building
paper on the ~studding and the paper
is covered with drop siding. On the
inside the work is done in the same
way, except hat matched ceiling
boards are used.
Between the pens the partitions
should be tight boarded with matched
stuff to protect the young pigs when
the house is not fully occupied.
Some hog raisers make pen parti-
lions of hog wire. which is all right
if the house is kept full.
There is considerable body heat
from hogs when the house is well
filled. which keeps the place comfort
able even in cold weather. but there
are times when such a hog house on
the ordinary farm will be nearly emp
ty. At such times the solid partitions
between pens ara warmer

STERILE EGGS ALWAYS BEST
There Are Other Requisites Than
Freshness to Real Good Egg
Three Prime Essentials.

II comes as a surprise to a great
many onsume Of eggs to learn that
an absolutely fresh egg is not neces-
sarily a good egg and that on the
contrary it may be a YER bad egg,
not fit to grace the table as food.
For time out of memory the prime
requisite of an egg has been that it be
fresh. This has been emphasized by
dealers for years who get a premium
for eggs direct from the farm But
while poultry culture has been max
ing progress in the last few years it
has been established that al egg is
not necessarily good just because it
happens to be fresh. Poultrymen who
have made a scientific study of their
business now are endeavoring to i'm
press upon the public that there are
other requisites than freshness 70 a
real good egg.
There are three prime requisites to
an egg that can go to the table I'M
questioned and unchallenged. 1t must
be sterile, sanitary and fresh.
