LABOR SAVING DEVICES
FOR THE FARM HOME

inexpensive and Practical Appliances
That Simplify Home Management.
Labor may be lightened and time
saved in the farm home by the use of
simple labor-saving devices. which can
be made with an expenditure OF but
little time and money" says Miss
Alice S. Hickman Of the Extension
Division, Louisiana State University.
The freless cooker. iceless refrige-
rator. roiler-tray wagon. and scrubbing
chariot are not unnecessary Injuries,
but are practical appliances for the
use and comfort of the homemaker.
These are but a few of the possibiH-
ties which may make home manage
ment on the farm an interesting prob
lem instead of merely daily round
OF tiresome and disheartening work.
Progressive farmers of today are
learning how to lessen labor for
themselves and decrease its cost. The
women are closely following this mod.
ern idea. They cannot, however.
solve the all-absorbing problem of
home management unless the houses
are equipped with the laborsaving
conveniences They cannot work
without tools. When once they ara
awakened to their opportunities, how
ever, home management will keep
pace with farm management and svsa
Guinness management"

In case legume hays are used,
we would not advise the use of

constitute as much as one-half the
grain ration. When corn is the
only other concentrate used we
would suggest one part of cotton
seed meal to 10 parts of corn. with
any Of the legume hays. All these
proportions are by weight. Meas.
uring is not sufficiently accurate,
although given measure full of
a given mixture may be weighed
and afterward, in feeding, this
measure may be used for giving

weight as a measure in discussing
these matters.-The Progressive

ONLY THE CATTLE TICK
TRANSMITS TEXAS FEVER
Ticks Found On Dogs. Rabbits, Etc.,
Are Harmless To Cattle So Far as
Texas Fever Is Concerned.

Many people, it seems, still believe
that the methods employed in tick
eradication work cannot prove sue
cessful for the reason that small ami
mails, such as rabbits, etc, which car
ry ticks, cannot be treated for these
parasites.
Such reasoning would be entirely
logical provided all ticks found on all
animals were the same kind OF ticks.
True, to the casual observer, all ticks
have a striking similarity in appear
ance; but, as a matter Of fact, there
are quite a number Of different varie-
ties of ticks, each one being peculiar
to certain animals, but do not develop
on others. But SO far as Texas fever
is concerned, there is only one variety
of tick in North America that will
transmit the germ Of this fever, and
: that is the common cattle tick, which
develops only on cattle, horses and
mules. The other ticks which are
found on dogs, rabbits, and other ami
mails, while they all belong to tho
tick family, do not affect cattle to
any extent, and have no connection
whatever with Texas fever; nor are
they considered at all in the caln-
paign OF tick eradication.
The confusion, or misconception,
with regard to the possibility of tick
eradication, seems to have arisen from
the idea, therefore, that all ticks seen
on all kinds of animals, are one and
the same kind Of ticks, which. fortu.
nately, Is not the case. II it were
20, complete tick eradication, would,
indeed, be hopeless undertaking.
It should be understood, therefore.
that the common cattle tick seen Ga
cattle, and which natures only on
cattle. horses and mules. Is tho only
variety that transmits tho gem Of the
fever. and the only tick that the au-
thorities are endeavor1ng to extermi
nate; the others being harmless to
cattle, so far as tick fever IL concern
ed. And a seasons regular dipping,
at intervals Of IA days, should. in most
cases, eradicate this tick entirely
from parish or section.
Lot us get busy this spring and see
how many parishes we can clean up
BY the end Of the coming season, as
delay only adds to the cost Of the
work.

INSTITUTE NOTES.

President Stephens of South
western Institute announced to-
day the appointment of Mr.. F. M.
Hamilton, Of Lake Charles, Sup
erintendent of Education of Cal
casleu Parish, as assistant profess
sor of Education in the Teacher
Training department of the Insti-
tute, and will enter upon his dut-
les at the opening of the summer
term next Monday, June 4. Prof.
Hamilton is recognized as one of
the ablest school men in the State.
After being graduated in the
State Normal School and doing
advanced work in the State Uni
versity, he became Assistant Sup,
erintendent under the late Supt.
John McNeese of Calcasieu Par
ish, and quickly made himself in
dispensable in that office. Upon
Supt. McNeese's death several
years ago Mr.. Hamilton was elect
ed superintendent and has adj
mlnistered the ogce with great
success. He leaves the Calcasieu
schools in excellent condition and
takes up his new work at the In
stitute through his own deliberate
choice, preferring to develop in
the field Of instruction rather
than that of administration.
The Teacher Training depart
ment Of Southwestern Institute
has made a quick and brilliant
success under the chief direction
of Prof. Irving P. Foote, but has
now grown so large as to make
necessary this additional appoint
ment. The department has done
so well that it is now fully recog-
nlzed by the State through the
fact that its diplomas are given
full credit for first grade teachers
certificates without examination
on the same basis as in the case
OF normal schools and college
courses of two years above high
school graduation. Of the 1O2
graduates turned out by the In
stltute last week 60 were trained
teachers. They had entered the
Institute as high school graduates
and spent two years in profess
slonal study and training.
The State Examiner. John R.
Commit, visited Southwestern In
stltute this week to assess the col
lege-credit value of the Insti-
tute S courses of study. After a
careful investigation he gave the
institute S courses of study Sc
same as for the Ruston
Institute and the State Normal
School. Graduates of any of |
these institutions taking the nine
weeks Summer School course here
can obtain the full forty credits |
necessary to qualify them to teach
IN high schools next year under
the rulings of the State Board Of |
Education. !

MANY POLICIES
BY ESSICK-AETNA
VIM. Essick, General Agent
For Aetna Insurance Co.,
Shows Increase

In March 1908, VIM. S. Essick was
given charge of the Harrisburg Cen
eral Agency for the accident and liza
bility department of the Aetna Life
Insurance Company. About the same
time the Aetna Accident and Liability
Company was incorporated as an aff-
lated company of the Aetna Life for
burglary, plate glass and other lines
Then in 1912, the Automobile Insur-
ance Company of Hartford was also
purchased by the Aetna for the pur-
pose of writing general fire insurance,
marine insurance and parcel post in
surance, etc, so that Mr.. Essick be-
came general agent for all of the three
companies above named. In fact there
is no line of insurance that cannot be
gotten at the Essick Offices.
In t90S. ten automobile insurance
policies were written at this office and
in 1916 over $50 contracts were writ
ten on automobiles in a single month
in the busy season. The Harrisburg
office is equipped with adjusters, in
spectors and auditors, so that accounts
and claims and service of every kind
is rendered Immediately and by the
most efficient persons.
On the first of January, John
F. O'Neill, for several years connected
with the American Casualty Company
as agency manager, attached himself
with the Essick Offices in the same ca
pacity and has been able to render
valuable assistance to resident agents
and brokers, as well as to the agents
in the territory controlled by Mr.. Es-
sick.
A very large business is done at this
office in surety bonds, fidelity bonds
and contract bonds, this department be-
| ing in charge of VIM. s. Hoover.
Sixteen counties comprise the Har-
/ risburg general agency and ten coun-
! ties make up the Reading general
agency, at which Essick & Barr are
general agents.
Mr.. Essick Is active in all the in.
surance bodies of Harrisburg anc
vicinity. being president of the Dau.
phin County Federation of Insurance
| and director in the Pennsylvania State
Federation of Insurance.

The Peerless is car that has con-

with the best cars in the world it had

the great enlargement of the plant, as
the result of an unprecedented demand

PULLMAN DEALER
IS ENTHUSIASTIC

In an automobile show one may ex-
pect to find motorcar dealers wax ex-
tremely warm in discussing the unus-
ual features of their own particular
cars. L. A. Wallace, local agent for
the Pullman is no exception and
while talking to a representative of
the Telegraph he described the car
he represents as being almost super
huma min it's possibilities. The name

gests first of all comfort: the last
word in convenience and ease of mod
ern travel; and instantly establishes
in the mind of the traveller, the dis
tinction between the ordinary day
coach and the palace car.
when the first Pullman Auto was
built in nineteen hundred and three,
the effort of the designers was to
produce a 'horseless carriage which
would offer to the owner the maxi
mum of comfort and each succeeding
model has embodied improvements in
detail that have been developed in
the years of manufacturing expert
ence.
! Under the stress of keen competi-
tion there is great temptation to sac
rifice quality in order to make pos
sible a reduction in price. The Pull
man Company however has adhered
to their policy to use what is best in
design, material and workmanship

Pullman owners is the best evidence
that quality is recognized by expert

ACCESSORIES
ARE IMPROVED
Cars Better Equipped and
More Refined This Year Than
Ever Before

Cars are better equipped this year
than ever before. The list OF acces-
sories furnished with the car Is not
anv longer, but the accessories them
selves are more refined. So are the
auxiliary systems such as luorlca-
ton. ignition, lighting, starting'
carburetion, etc.
Take the dash instruments. All the
speedometers are now mounted hush
with the instrument boards. They DO
not proiect above the surface. The
Iammeters now register discharge and
charge, giving clue to the ehtire
electrical system. There are more
pressure gauges for the oiling sys-
fem mounted on the dash, as would be
expected with the increase in the
! use of pressure feed.
Oil Pressure Heavier
The increase of pressure feed is 10
be expected in. connection with the
| ever increasing rotative speed OF mo-
| tors. 1t Is becoming more and more
necessary to lead the oil positively 10
the bearing points under great pres
sure, Hence pressure feeds are now
sending the oil at 20 pounds pressure
directly into the bearings.
In starting and lighting equipment
there is greater simplicity than ever.
IThe use of the simpler means of
meshing the starter with the crank
shaft is one improvement. The screw
gear used here is a good example. In
generator drives there has been some
change. One prominent maker has
lust mounted the generator in unit
with the fan and drives both off the
same belt This is illustrative of a
general trend toward simple and as
| cessible electric drives.
Improved Carburctors
i Carburetors have been improved to
take the lower grades of gasoline now
on the market. The principal manner
in which this situation has been met
is in the use of more heat to aid in
the vaporlzation. Whereas formerly il
was the custom to preheat some of the
; air entering the Scarburetor. many are
: now preheating all the air. This helps
to vaporize the heavy grade of gaso.

line. We are coming closer, year by
year, to kerosene.
Great improvements in ignition have
been necessary to take care of the
multi-cylinders and the high speeds.
A few new systems have been intro
duced One prominent manufacturer
who has been supplying a large part
of the trade has just introduced a new
system that is taking quite well. This
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-02-10

is n closed circuit device-that is, the
circuit is normally closed, being broken
every time a>spark is desired. A sue
cessful system can readily take care of
a twelve-cylinder motor running at
5000 revolutions minute. This
means the development of $4,000
sparks a minute. A few years ago
this would have been declared i'm
possible.
In the little details of equipment the
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-02-10

same great care is noticeable. Steer
ing wheels are larger to give better
leverage, clutch pedals are not so hard
to depress, gears are simpler to shift
and driving is generally easier. Even
cooling, which was standardized in
most respects. has come in for it's
share of refinement and more water
space and better pumps are found on
the cars of 1917 than of 1916.

Donald Avery Is Moody.

Harriet found Donald and sent
him to her father. Then she re-
turned to the study, fastened the
doors, opened the wall-safe to the
right of the door and took out a
bundle of correspondence. The
papers relating to the Warden
and the Latron murders were
here; also the two envelopes
which had just been sent to her
father concerning the present or
ganization Of the Latron proper
ties.
She had felt always the horror
of this violent and ruthless side
of the men with whom her father
dealt; but now she knew that ac-
tual appreciation Of the crimes
that passed as business had been
far from her. -
She pushed the letters away.
and sat thinking. She sensed for
the first time how great her faith
er's perplexity must be; she felt,
too, how terrible the injustice
must have been that Eaton had
suffered, since he himself did not
dare to tell 1t even to her father,
and since, to hide 1t, other men
did not stop short Of double muir
