MUCH SUFFERING AMONG RELIEF
 WORKERS
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Jan. g. - AdviCes re- ceived here indicate that this winter Is causing the greatest amount of anx- iety among relief workers in the Holy | Land. The food situation is no bet. ter than it was year ago., and the greatest suffering is caused by the want of fuel and light.
 The cold in Jerusalem during Janu- ary and February is intense, and the scarcity of fuel is so severe that 1t is difficult to have a fire even to cook with. Petroleum, formerly brought In abundance from the Rus sian oil fields as we'll as from Ameri- can sources, is not to be purchased at any price. Coal, formerly obtained from France and Wales, Is nowhere obtainable even in the smallest quan- titles. The only fuel remaining is wood. and very little of this is to be had, and that at very high price Even before the war the wood supply had become very scanty, owing to ne glect of proper forestry work and the lack of forest laws. In many districts even the fruit trees are being cut down to provide wood reguisitfoned by the government for the operation of trains.
 Although the harvest throughout Palestine has been very good, the peo- pie have derived little benefit, owing to the requisitioning of all the crops by the military authorities. Sugar has long been practically unobtain- able. There are no stores of food available for the peoples of the towns this winter. but the peasants in the country districts have in many cases been able to hide part of their crOps from the military. In towns, the desti tuition and exhaustion is so severe that actual starvation seems the inevitable lot of a considerable part of the in habitants.
 The Turkish governments intrOduc- tion of paper money has caused great hardship. The inhabitants of Pales- tine are unused to such money. and have no desire to become accustomed to it. In spite of the most stringent government regulations against any preference being shown for coined for paper money, and change is only to be obtained secretly at a heavy loss to the owner of notes.

MANY AMERICANS SHIPPING AS
 SAILORS
(By Associated Press.D

NEW YORK, Jan. 9. - There are approximately two and one half times as many American sailors now ship ping for foreign ports than at any time previous to the war, according to Dr. George s. Webster, secretary of the American Seamen's Friety Soci- ety. He attributes this increase to the increased wages being given sea men and partly to the improved con ditions under which they are work ing
 Dr. Webster says: The past three years have marked an almost unbe- lievable increase in the number of Americans who are shipping as sail ors At our sailors home on the North river waterfront, the men we had previously cared for were almost entirely British, Swedish and Ger man. If an American born sailor should have mingled with this com pany, he would have been more or less conspicuous. Today we frequently lodge American sailors. and they are practically all men who had not seen service in the merchant marine prior to the outbreak of the war. It Is a very fair estimate to say that fully two and one-half times as many Am ericans are now seafaring men as prior to the war We can no longer say the American is a land lubber.
 We venture to predict at the Am. erican Seamen's Friend Society that the proportion of American born sail ors to those of other nationalities will immensely increase after the war. In case there is slight lapse in indus trial activity, the seafaring life will doubtless be of attraction to many who have not heretofore considered it."

KILLING YOUNG PIGS CAUSE
 PORK FAMINE

LONDON, Jan. g. - Because of the high cost Of feeding stuffs farmers have been destroying filters Of young pigs at birth, much tO the dismay o: a government agricultural committee. which has been conducting a cam. paign to induce stock raisers to help ward off pork famine. Farmers de- tended their action with the statement that the government wa sallowing ex- port of meal to Holland which ought to be kept in this country.

Proper action In the draft horse Is
important, according to David Gray,
assistant in animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college. Size
and power are of little value If the
horse has not enough agility to han

"Action of the draft horse should

Mr.. Gray. "In moving, the feet should

order to get the best and greatest

RAvAGES OF WORMS
CAUSE GREAT LOSS
Infested Hogs Make Gains Slowly,
If At All-loWa Station
Gives Good Remedy.

A great loss on all farms where
hogs are raised results from the raw
ages of worms. Great as are the
losses from hog cholera, it would not
be very wild assertion to state that
even greater losses accrue from
worms.
Hogs infested with worms gain slow
ly, If at ALL using up most of their
energy in coughing instead of using 1t
for growth and fattening. Further
more, they are kept in such a weak
ened condition that they are more sus-
ceptible to diseases, including hog
cholera, and it may be said with much
confidence that hog worms are the
forerunners Of disease.
They cause disastrous results only
where they are permitted to go un-
molested. 1t is not a difficult matter
to rid a herd of hogs of them, and
many useful remedies have been rec
commended. The Iowa experiment sta
ton has recently offered a simple
remedy that will expel worms from
hogs with much certainty. The for
mula is:
Santonin, five grains; areca nut,
three drains; calomel, three grains,
and sodium bicarbonate, one dram.
This amount constitutes a dose for n
100-pound pig. Twice as much should
be used for 200-pound pig, while half
as much should be used for 50-pound
pig.
Success from the use of this for
mula depends upon Withholding from
the pigs all feed for at least IS hours
before feeding the mixture. To make
'ertain that all worms are expelled,
fhe dose should be repeated In week
or ten days. If all of the ingredients
cannot be secured at the drug store, a
substitute in the form of seven grains
of santonin and seven grains Of calo-
mel for each 100 pounds of liveweight
may be used with success, admins
tering it in the same manner suggested
for the complete formula.

TIMELY REMARKS ON
SPRAY PREPARATION
Power Pump Should Be Used If
Best Results Are Expected
High Pressure Needed.

The following timely remarks are
taken from letter sent out to super
intendents of Ohio state institutions
by S. w. Moore, horticulturist of the
Ohio board of administration.
"The power pump is the pump TO
use If results are wanted. The argi-
ment used at some of the institutions
by those in charge of the work has
been that there is plenty of hand
power or labor power and II is eco
nomical to use it. This SOUNDS well,
but If the practical orchardist were
consulted, he would say that the
hand pump, aside from the labor of
running it, is an expensive PROPOSE
ton, as 1t is almost impossible to
maintain the pressure necessary eff.
fectively and economically to cover
all parts of the tree or plant; and
when all parts are not covered, the
application will count for little.
Success depends first upon the
material used. Second upon the ap-
plication, which means thoroughness.
The thoroughness that is necessary
can only be obtained with heavy
pressure all the time; not $50 or 200
pounds for awhile, then rs or 80
pounds. Such a pressure will not
force the liquid into all the cracks
and crevices; and where some are
missed, scale and fungous diseases
will be found lurking, ready again to
take possession of the plant as
soon as weather conditions are favor
able.
IF anything is to be done along
this line, it is time the spray outfits
were ordered. Spray material should
be on the way soon, as the clean up
or dormant spray should be applied
before growth begins. This is true
of either tree or vine"

RED CROSS ASSISTS
FINDING THE MISSING
An Important Branch of This
Wonderful and Helpful
Organization
UNITED Press Dispatch:l

London, July 28.-[By Mail. ]-Of
the thousands of British families who
have waited in dread anxiety for final
news of relatives posted as Missing"
few have known how much. effort was
being made to relieve their fears. The
fact that the army continues a large
corps of men who spend all their
time searching for misasng smen is not
generally known
These searchers, now an important
branch of the Red Cross, are the re-
suit of a visit paid TO France by Lord
Robert Cecil in the early days of the
war. He had gone to seek for news
of a friend among comrades who had
taken part in the engagement that re-
suited in the friends name being
listed among the missing. 1t occurred
to him then that there were thou
sands of men and women at home as
anxious as he, but unable to make
such a personal investigation. The re-
suit was the organization of the
searchers department.
The hospitals are the principal scene
OF the searchers work. With a book
containing the names of men missing
for many months they make the
rounds, following up clues and sug-
gestions that may lead to the clearing
up of the individual mysteries. The
work requires tact and intelligence
and, above all, patience.
