DANGER DISGUISED
IN WATER FOUNTAINS

Danger disguised in the cloak of
safety is a menace of the most potent
sort" says Oral Hygiene, a dental
publication. This is particularly
true when it receives the full appro-
baton of health authorities. The
bubble fountain is now said to be
bedeviled. An epidemic of tonsilitis
in the dormatories of the University
of Wisconsin unexpectedly directed
suspicion to the bubble fountain in
the building and it was found to be
the cause of trouble. A survey of all
fountains of the university showed
the presence of streptOcoCc in over
SO per cent of the total number.
These varied in abundance from n
few chains to almost pure cultures.
that while most of the organisms
were floated away when used by n
person suffering from disease, some
remained dancing in the column,
much as n ball dances on the garden
fountain. An experiment showed that
bacillus prodigiosus when artificially
introduced by a pinette or by the
mOistened lips. remained in the water
from to 1875 minutes. depending on
the height of the bubble A Jet of
water at an angle Of Is degrees from
the vertical was found to prevent
micro-organisms from dancing on
the column of water"

A GREAT PROBLEM
WE OVERLOOKED

We Americans have everything In
profuse abundance except food. We
are spending millions for army and
navy. for education, religion and sci
entific research; we have more gold,
more liberty. more newspapers. and
shorter hours than any other coun-
try We are building magnificent IL
braries, universities, homes, clubs and
factories. but the farms, the source
of our food supply, are being neglect
ed. Entire sections have been aban-
doned, altho the soil Is capable of
producing profitable crops, IL fertiliz.
ed and managed as farming is car
ried on In older countries abroad. In
our campaign to increase the rights OF
the people, we have crippled the rail-
roads which distribute food supplies,
and they cannot be fully rehabiltated
under "a decade. We have made the
life of the soldier of fortune, the poll
tician, so profitable and pleasant that
farming has become taboo: the aris-
tocrats are those who scream for
more liberty. more leisure, more rag
time. The plain man who raises food
crops or live stock is ashamed to
look his wife and children in the face,
he has so long been impudently re-
ferred to as a rude provincial and old
fogy: so he runs for county cCmmis-
SlOnef, winch ne hopes VIII prove n
stepping stone to county treasurer,
the legislature and congress. He en-
lists in the Army of Liberty, and be-
comes a parasite on the already over
burdened producers of food. His sons
are discontented on the farm. and at
tend schools and become lawyers. doc
tors, editors, preachers, engineers:
anything except food producers. Food
riots in the most prosperous country
the world has ever known Is a warn
ing we should heed. But I doubt IL
we will heed it in the right way; we
may have a congressional investiga-
tion, but If there are no potatoes. l
should like to see congress get a sup
ply by means of an investigation.
When congress investigates a short
age of potatoes, Of wheat, OF beef. of
eggs, or of anything else that comes
from the farm, it Immediately attacks
the railroads, altho all the world
knows the necessary family supplies
are already paying an unnecessary
tax for transportation and distribu-
ton because of unnecessary assaults
on railroads. Food is scarce and
high priced because il is not being
produced in necessary quantities. The
most prosperous people in history will
I finally be on the verge of starvation,
in spite of their great stock of every
thing except the one great essential.
There may be books, music. paintings

all these will not bring content If the

WAGE WAR ON
POTATO BUG

The potato bug has arrived and be-
gun his attack on the potatoes. To
kill him, spray the vines with lbs.
of arsenate of lead to so gallons of
water. or 1 heaping tablespoonful per
gallon of water. Arsenate Of lead.
while 1t acts more slowly than Paris
green. is as good poison, is cheaper,
sticks to the plant much better after
rains, and does not burn the foliage
of the more tender plants as does the
Paris green. 1t Is excellent for killing
all kinds of biting insects, such as po-
tato bugs. tomato worms, cabbage
" worms, striped cucumber beetles, etc.
For the small yellow and black strip
ed cucumber beetle that causes so
much damage to cucumbers, melons,
squashes and pumpkins, this spray
may be used frequently to keep the
vines well covered; also tobacco dust,
by powdering the stems and leaf
veins. 1t should be scattered freely
around the bases of the plants and
on their tops. The big squash bug
can he controlled only by killing the
old bugs which appear soon after the
vines begin to run.

TO BE MADE
FROM FOX FARMING

Silver foxes a few years ago brought
as high az $4,000 pair in the open
market, The enormous prices obtain
ed at that time were due largely to
speculative operations, according to
a new publication of the United States
department of agriculture, and ranch
bred silver foxes have recently been
advertised for sale at from $500 to
81 900 a pair. With a comparatively
large number of silver foxes in do
mestication, with a clearer under
standing of their successful manage
mcnr, and with a return of moderate
prices for breeders, steady, healthy
and general development of silver fox
farming is predicted. How and where
fox farming may be undertaken with
the promise of any degree of success is

BETTER HORSES
FOR KANSAS

MANHATTAN, Kan.--SO per cent
Of the stations advertised for public
service in Kansas this year are pure
breds, and only 20 per cent grades and
scrubs. according to Or. c. w. Nc
Campbell, secretary of the state live
stock registry board. In 1909. the
year before Kansas had a stallion IL
cense law, TO per cent OF all the stall
lions advertised for public service were
advertised as pure breds, while II OF
them actually were grades and scrubs.
No grade or scrub stallion has been
advertised as a pure bred this year, as
compared with 2,022 of them in 1903.
The stallion license law will not per-
nit fraudulent advertising. A great
change also has taken place in the
kind of stations standing for public
service in Kansas. In the last 6 years,
the grades and scrubs standing for
public service in Kansas have decreased
1900 and the purebreds have lncreas-
ed 700.

HOGS
TO SAVE GRAIN


WASHINGTON, d. C-Pasturing
hogs reduces the amount of grain
needed to bring them to a profitable
weight and marketable condition.
Either permanent pasture or tempo
rary crops afford such a grain reduc-
ton. The amount to reduce the
grain ration is "A problem for the in
dividual farmer Pasturage, however.
does not furnish complete food be-
cause a sufficient quantity of rough
age can not be consumed and digested
to supply all the nutrients required
for rapid growth. The forage, espec-
tally from leguminous pastures. fur
nishes q cheap source of protein, sup
plies ash for bone making, adds bulk
to the ration. and acts as a mild lax
ative and tonic and keeps the hogs
system in condition to utilize profit
ably the concentrated feeds. Pasture
crops alone, however, make a pigs

ed to remedy these defects. Even
with the present high prices of grain
II pays better not to cut the grain ra-
tion more than half. feeding at the
rate of 2 pounds daily per 100 pounds
! live weight to pigs on pasture. in
stead of the usual to pounds
when they are in a dry lot. That this
cut will pay better than a greater cut
| Is fully established by records of the
rate and cost of grains made by
| thousands->uf pigs under such treat
ment. The concentrated feeds to use
should be carefully considered. BY
/ product feeds and feeds unsuited for
human consumption are preferable.
Many feeds formerly considered too
high priced are comparatively cheap
now. On alfalfa pasture the grain
should be largely carbonaceous in
character. With non-leguminous pas
lures more protein supplement will
be required. Pigs, grain-fed on pas
ture will gain a pound or more a day
from weaving to a weight of 200 to
250 pounds, while those getting little
or no grain will gain but p to y
pound per day. This will bring spring
pigs to a marketable weight in early
fall, at the period of high prices,
whereas those being pastured only are
not ready for market until a month
or later. A grain ration, by brldg-
| ing the hogs to an earlier market re-
duces the time of feeding. the risk.
and the interest on the investment.
/ The animals are in higher condition
with a finer and more palatable meat
and fat. Farmers substituting pas
lures entirely for grain and other
concentrated feeds to their market
hogs htru the summer will find that
before marketing in the fall it will be
advisable to feed grain to harden the
soft fat and meat and put on addi-
tional weight. Light but steady grain
feeding on pasture, however, gives
better results than a heavier feeding
during a shorter finishing period.
