Urge Quick Action.

Washington, Nov 1.-The vast store
Of German scientific information in
this country was opened on Tues
day to American manufacturers in
regulations issued by the federal trade
commission, under which enemy-owned
patents and copyrights will be licensed
for use by citizens of the United
States.
When the regulations had been made
public the commission met u group of
medical men to consider licensing the
manufacture of certain drugs, prinCl-
pally salvarsan (6060, used in virulent
blood diseases. and nontoXic substi-
tutes for local anesthetics. of which
the supply in this country has run
dangerously low since the war inter-
rupted commerce.
approximately 10000 patented and
copyrighted articles are said to be
affected by the commissions order.
These include dyestuff formulas of vi
tai importance to American industries
and mechanical devices of wide use,
though the humanitarian effect of the
order attracts the widest attention.
German thought for many years has
been in the forefront of medical re-
search, evolving remedies for disease
and for alleviation of pain, all Of
which, patented in the United States,
will now become available TO end suf-
fering in this country.
Physicians at the conference were
said to have pointed out that an early
supply of important drugs would be a
contribution to the national defense.

in the call asking for authority to fill

fee of United States senator by ap-
pointment."
The foregoing statement was issued
by Gov. e. L. Phillip with respect to
the vacancy caused by the death of the
late United States Senator Paul o.
Husting.
Gov. Philip makes it clear that he
will serve out his term as governor
and that he is not a candidate for the
senate.
He declared that in asking appoin-
tive power he does not seek the ad-
vancing of any friend; that he would
select the strongest man in the state
whom he could induce TO take the Of
Ace. He said that the mar to I'LL the
place of Senator Husting must stand
with the national government, and
that he would not consider partisan

The governor does not feel that q

believes it would merely serve as an
excuse for pacifists and anti-war prop

He believes this would break down

If chicks are Matched right, from the

According to Mrs. II. F. Hoyt, a

using by inches on the sides and
one end, so that 1t will set eight inches
off the ground and covered with
matched lumber so that the floor will
be--tight. In the center of this cut
out hole with q keyhole saw, just large
enough for the smaller of the lard
pals to fit in, and tack so that it lets
in none of the lamp gas. This pail
should be tight. Now take some one
inch battens and nail around all sides
Of the platform, leaving en- opening OF
three inches in one corner for fresh
air, and put on another layer of the
matched stuff, thus making one-inct
air space between the two. This Is

GOOD CHICK-GROWlNG MASH
Mixture of Bran, Middlings, Cornmea

Feed in Hopper.

After the chicks are ten days ole
a good growing mash, composed OF
two parts by weight of bran, two parts
low-grade wheat flour or red-dog mid
dlings, and 10 per cent sifted beef
scrap, may be placed in hopper and
left before them all the time. The
mash may be fed either wet or dry; If
wet, only enough moisture (either milk
or water) should be added to make the
feed crumbly, but in no sense sloppy.
When this growing mash or mixture Is
not used, hopper containing bran
should be accessible to the chickens at
all times.

VITALITY OF CHICKS TESTED
Ingenious Method Invented by Expert
at Mountain Grove Station
Theory In Brief.

How to tell vigorous chicks before
they are Matched is an ingenious
method originated by Frank L. Plumb,
Mountain Grove, Mo. That this is an
important problem among poultry rails
ers has long been recognized. Weak
chicks are more susceptible to disease
which the vigorous chicks are more
apt to contract IL the disease is encour-
aged by the presence of weak chickens
in the flock Then, too, weak chicks
will do better If separated from those
more vigorous. 1t is also important
that this culling be made as easily as
possible because some chicks Will very
soon apparently outgrow weakness
which they possess. If it can be done
before Matching and done accurately,
the value of Mr.. Plumbs discovery
can hardly be estimated.
Briefly speaking the theory is this.
AS the chick approaches complete de-
velopment in the shell 1t becomes
more and more responsive to the laws
OF gravity. 1t viii continue to right
itself in the shell when the egg is
turned Therefore if the egg after the
eighteenth day is placed in basin of
lukewarm water the chick is placed in
an uprightsposition within the egg. In
attempting to right~its position its
movements cause the egg to move up
and down with series of quick jerks.
Chicks of strong vitality cause the egg
to rise and sink nearly one-fourth the
diameter of the egg while those of
weak vitality scarcely move the egg
This is a simple test and can be done
with no injury to the eggs. The Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture has not
had time to test this method and con-
sequently cannot vouch for its relia-
bility.

Observation-Disclosures.
CAUSES OF WHITE DIARRHEA
Disease May Be Inherited From Hens
With Infected Ovaries-Treat-
ment for Trouble.

White diarrhea is caused by bac-
terra. The disease may be inherited
from hens with infected ovaries, or
pass from chick to chick. In the lat
ter case the greatest period of danger
is during the first three days after
Matching. Badly infected chicks are
not worth curing. Never let chick
that has shown symptoms of diar-
rhea be used as breeders or you will
have affected stock next season. If
the nostrls of chicks close up. which
compels the chick to breathe through
its mouth, the air passages of the
lungs are affected.
Treatment: Moisten the tongue with
glycerin and water several times a
day. Keep Il chicks of fowls warm
and well supplied with water; give
the bird internally olive oil or castor
oil feed soft foods.

EGGS FOR MATCHING

Eggs selected for Matching ;
should weigh not less than two
ounces nor more than two and ;
quarter ounces each. Eggs Sc
lected for Incubation should
have clean. smooth, strong shells
which are free from ridges,
cracks, transparent spots or lime
deposits.
Where-all of the eggs consid-
cred are of the same variety,
there is a definite correlation be-
! tween the size of the egg incu-
bated, the size of the chick when
: Matched, and the size of the
chick from ten to twenty weeks
: old.
Eggs selected for Matching
should be of a true egg type.
. Exceptionally long eggs and very
short, rounded eggs are equally
! Objectionable. Malformed eggs
should never be incubated.
! These eggs are usually difficult
to hatch. White eggs and brown
! eggs should not be incubated to-
gether.
