Paris, May 23.-While the Germans

ELIMINATE M0LES
FROM FARM GARDEN
Variety of Traps on Market Suit
able for Purpose-MiCe Are
Worst Offenders.

The best method Of getting rid Of
moles is by trapping, according to Dr.
Lee II. Dice, instructor in zoology in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
while the mole dishgures lawns
and parks by throwing up unsightly
ridges and tears up roots of flowers
and vegetables, he does not eat roots,
tubers, or seeds, as is often supposed"
said Doctor Dice.
"The destruction of roots and seeds
is the work of his unlimited guests
meadow mice, field mice, and common
house mice. These little animals take
advantage Of the mole's tunnels to pro-
cure roots and seeds as food. The
mole lives almost entirely on insects
grubs, and worms found ia the soil
This frees him from the charge of
eating seeds"
A number of mole traps are on the
market which can be used to eliminate
this animal from gardens, lawns, and
parks. Shrcwdness on the part of the
trapper and some knowledge of the
mOle's habits are essential TO the sue
cessful removal Of this wary little pest.
When the burrows have been crushed
IN by tramplng. or other means. the
mole reopens them by throwing up
dirt from below. This action is made
use of In the construction of some
traps which are so contrlved that when
an effort IL made to reopen the tunnel,
closed by tramplng, the trap is sprung

often credited to moles, can be pois

Camp Aid Firemen in Fight Against
Blaze - Dynamite Used to
Check Fire.

Atlanta, Ga, May 23.-Fire starting
in a pegro and warehouse district here
on Monday destroyed all structures~on
more than 100 blocks. The fashiona-
Bile residence district about Ponce de
Leon avenue has been destroyed and
the total property loss has already
reached many millions of dollars.
A high wind whipped the flames I'M
til they were beyond control because a
part of the fire department was at an
other fire which destroyed many fine
residences In the West end. Several
miles away, while yet another detach-
ment of firemen was busy at a third
confiagration which burned 10 small
negro houses In the Woodward avenue
district.
Aid was summoned from Macon, Au-
gusta, Chattanooga, Newman and Grif-
fin and 1000 men were rushed here
from the. United States army officers
training camp at Fort Mcpherson.
The dramatic struggle with the
flames reached climax at nightfall
when the fire fighters made a stand
at Boulevard place and began dyna-
hitting a wide area to protect the
Ponce de Leon section.
The thousands of homeless were
cared for at night by citizens com
mittee and by thc Atlanta, Red Cross
chapter. Most of them were quartered
in public buildings. Many minor in
juries were reported. but officials said
there had been few persons badly hurt.

KAISER BLOCKS PEACE TERMS
On hindenburg's Advice Ruler arns
Down Chancelor's Pro.
posal.

The Hague. May 19.-The kaiser
and Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
were responsible for the refusal of
the German chancellor 10 announce
peace terms in the relchstag this week,
according to advices received here
from Berlin.
1t was reported In these dispatches
that the chancellor, Doctor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg. had gone so far as to
draw up peace offer, suitable to both
Germany and Austria-Hungary but
when he took 1t to German Great
Headquarters for the affirmation of
the kaiser, 1t was rejected at mill
tary council.
There is IA growing belief in some
circles in Germany that the confer
ences going on between the German
chancellor and Count Czernin, the for
eign minister of Austria, may lead to
a peace proposition in the reichstag
when it reconvenes in July.

PASTEURIZING MILK
FOR YOUNG CALVES
Transmission Of Tuberculosis
and Contagious Abortion
Are Thus Prevented.

(By I. T. NEWSOM. Colorado Agricul-
tural College Fort Collins, Colo.)
So much has been said on pasteuriz-
ing milk for babies that many cities
require all milk to be pasteurized, ex-
cept such as has been produced under
exceptional sanitary conditions, and at
least one state is requiring the pasteur-
kation Of all milk from all cattle not
tuberculin tested. Many of those who
are engaged in raising calves have
found that If babies lives can be saved
by heating the milk so also can the
lives Of calves be spared by the same
method. UnqueStlonably skinned milk
returned from the creameries has been
a very faithful source of the transmits
pigs, and 1t Is found by actual expert
ence In many states that this disease
can be very much curbed by proper
pasteurization Of the SKINNED milk be-
fore 1t Is returned to the farm.
The organism causing contagious
abortion is very frequently found in
the milk and is probably transmitted
to the calves In this manner. Proper
heating will unquestionably prevent
this kind of transmission.
A recent report from the California
experiment station shows that very
serious outbreak of dysentery in calves
was stopped by boiling the milk. All
of these experiences go to show that
calf-raising would be much more easily
accomplished and much more profitable
If all the milk given to the calves could
be properly pasteurized, since by so
doing many of the calf diseases could
be eliminated.

WORK OUT PROBLEM
OF MARKETING EGGS
Plan to Avoid Conditions Which
Are Responsible for Deter
loratiOn OF Product.

(By L. Il. CARD. Connecticut Expert
ment Statlon)
The poultry mans problem In mar
ketlng eggs may be stated as how to
avoid those conditions which are re-
sponslble for the determination OF the
product during the time that must
elapse between Its production and con-
sumption. The correct and careful
working out of this problem will result
In the highest cash returns for the
eggs produced.
Some Of the points to be considered
In this connection are:
/. Provide plenty of nests and keep
them clean and dry. This Is impor-
tant to prevent soiled eggs.
.. Collect eggs twice each day. In
very hot weather three times day
is better. During the warm weather
an egg will spoil In short time. If
the eggs are left in the nest all day,
each hen that goes on to lay warns

U. S. EXPORTS SHOW GAIN
Entrance Of America Into War Re-
suits In Big increase In Value Of
Goods Shipped.

New York, May 21.-Entrance OF
the United States Into the world war
has resulted in a tremendous increase
in the value OF exports from the port
Of New York, In spite of the submarine
menace, according to figures made
public at the customhouse. The to-
tai last month was 5000, S73. 049 com
pared with S1S6,671,441 for April,
1916.
There also was material increase
in imports. The figures were: April.
1915, S115,290, 462 April. 1917. $126,-
sol 100.
Exports of gold decreased from &c.
443, 234 in April 1916 to $3,017,151 last
month, while the imports of gold for
April, 1917 were only $S77, 400, as
compared with 4,229,050 in April, 1916.

the eggs nearly up to body tempera-
ture. This means lower-grade egg
than If they are collected often.
u. Candle all eggs and grade them
for size and color. Fresh eggs should
be candled to detect blood clots, meat
spots and checks. Careful grading is
important If highest returns are to be
realized. A given number of eggs will
bring more in a high-class market II
separated into two lots, each uniform
as to size and color. than If they are
all shipped as one lot of mixed eggs
4. Ship often. DO not hold eggs
more than four days. In warm wealth
er II is better to ship three times a
week.
8. Egg packages should be clean,
strong, light In weight, neat in APP
pearance, easily handled, and as low
in cost as is consistent with good
quality. They should afford an oppor.
tunity for advertising, and this feature
should be used to It's fullest capacity
by the producer.
q. Make the eggs do their own adj
vertising. Each package should bear
the name of the farm or brand name
of the product.
