SHOULD DIP ALL SHEEP
Dipping Vat Essential on Every Farm,
X. S. A. c. Expert SAYS.

Manhattan, Kan, April pa dip
ping vat is necessary in the sheep bust
ness. in the opinion of A. NJ Paterson,
instructor in animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college
The flock should be dipped at least
once a year and in case of ticks and
scab as often as necessary, pointed out
Mr. Paterson. This dipping should be
done in warm weather Sheep should
always be dipped after -shearing and
where ticks are present they will leave
the old sheep and go to the lambs A
lamb that is covered with ticks should
be dipped.
1t is advisable to examine the flock
in the fall and if ticks are present the
sheep should be dipped again. Dip
ping not only kills parasites, but tends
to improve the general health of the
animal, giving a more luxuriant
growth of wool
In dipping the sheep use a large
tank so that it is possible to totally
immerse each animal in the LIQUID.
Any of the coal tar dips make a good
solution The sulphur dip has also
proved satisfa Glory.

HOW TO SCRUB SINKS
Domestic Science Expert Says Abrasive
Powders Are Always Injurious.

Manhattan, Kan, April 23.-Kitch-
en- sinks should be durab nonpor-
Gus, easily cleaned, and at a conven-
lent working height, according to Miss
Rebecca Bartholomew, assistant in do
mestic science in the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college.
Any cleaning powder or soap that
contains a rough securing agent is a
poor article for cleaning sinks, believes
Miss Bartholomew. Kerosene cuts
grease. 1t should be applied with a
cloth. When followed by soap and
water, it is particularly effective.
Enameled iron sinks are durable
and will last for years with proper
care. They should not be cleaned with
abrasive cleaning powders, as the en-
amel will wear off and cause rough
ened condition. Soapstone sinks are
less expensive and are desira Bile where
much dirty work is done. The soap
stone, however, absorbs grease and
wears away by constant securing. Cop
per and German silver sinks are at
tractive, easily cleaned and sanitary.
Because of the cost these sinks are sell
dom found in kitchens, but are salts

A BIC CROWD OUT AN ELECTRIC WAR!
II. s. Has Secret Inventions
That Will End Conflict.
Both Submarine and AerOplane
American Inventions.

New York April 23.-A nationwide
appeal to the electrical industry was
issued today by DR.. Schuyler S. Wheel
er. past president of the American In
stitute of Electrical Engineers, IN
which he called upon every one from
the highest executive to the least I'M
portant employee to make every effort
to assist the president in the success
full prosecution of the war. In add
ton, he voices the general belief that
the united States will, by the employ
men of new electrical inventions, take
the lead in bringing the war to an end
Calls on Electrical Engineers.
Never before in the history of this
country" Doctor Wheeler said, has
the electrical industry been called
upon for greater service. Germany
has made this a war of steel and iron,
mechanical war; the United States
will make it an electrical war. Every
man connected with the electrical in
dustry is vitality interested in the war
and the United States expects the cleo
trical inventors and engineers to carry
the Stars and Stripes to victory.
This country leads the world in the
application of electricity to the arts
of peace-now it must lead in apply
ing that great force to war. Here we
have thousands of the best trained and
most active brains in the world en-
SdSGQ III the oleClrlcdI industry, llOu-
sands of universally used electrical de-
vices were invented here. Let those
brains grapple with the problems of
the war and it is likely that we shall
see the appliance developed that will
end the war.
Invention May Save Million Men.
I'VE are starting our warlike prep
arations for war years after the other
belligerents-let US, make speed and
thru our inventiveness bring about an
early peace. The most deadly weap-
ons of the war, such as the airplane
and submarine, are American inven-
tions-let US make history repeat it
self now that we are facing the vital
necessity. One invention may save the
lives of millions of men who are sore
ly needed to do the worlds work. Let
all American electricians, from the
highest to the lowest, concentrate
aiding the government, now that the
United States is forced into the world

Duu's Review.

New York, Nov. le.-Dun's review
tomorrow will say.
With the increasing restraints i'm
posed by war conditions. and with the
many uncertainties of the period,
business Ia handicapped in various
ways and its progress is necessarily
checkered and irregular. Not through
lack of confidence. but owing to. the
dra wbacks in pro iuction and distri-
button, and also because of diminish
ing supplies OF ma terials' and uer-
chandise. some important transactions
are being held IN allegiance. and the
difficulties or filing requirements are
not calculated to lessen with winter
dra wing nearer and a still greater con
gestion In transportation foreshad-
owed.
II is particularly unfortunate, at a
time when the manufacturing forces
of the country should be running most
smoothly to meet the extensive and
growing war needs and the large be-
mands from regular channels, that
some plants have been obliged to shut
through inability to obtain fuel
and thai Tho works in many direc-
lions continue hindered by labor
shortage and other obstacles. Where
uninterrupted -opecRtions are possible,
there are comparatively few instances
where producers have not sufficient or
ders In hand to keep them, actively
occupied. and It 10 not to
hear OF ordinary business being turn
ed aside to make DON for the press
ing wants of this government and Its
allies. But In the retail Acid, while
buying holds up remarkably well un-
der the conditions. and though d large
holiday trade In anticipated, more
careful purchasing is clearly apparent,
and The practice OF economy among
consumers is also seen In the more
general csn.ering of demands in the
