State and National Aid.
To secure permanent results any
general campaign for the elimination
of rats must aim at building the ami
mails out of shelter and food. Build
ing reforms depend on municipal ordi-
nances and legislative enactments.
The recent plague eradication work
of the United States Public Health
Service in San Francisco, Seattle,
New Orleans, and at various places in
Hawaii and Porto Rico required such
ordinances and laws as well as finan-
cial aid in prosecuting the work. The
campaign of Danish and Swedish or
CARNATIONS for the destruction of rats
had the help of governmental appro-
priations. The legislatures of Cali
fornia, Texas, Indiana and Hawaii,
have in recent years passed laws or
made appropriations to aid in rat rid
dance. 1t is probable that well-or-
ganiZed efforts of communities would
soon win Legislative support every

BALLOON LIKE BIG TADPOLE
Latest French Aircraft for Observation
Purposes Requires Fifty Men
to ManeuVer 1t.

Among the latest triumphs of the
French aerial service is an observation
balloon. named lie Caquot," writes a
Paris correspondent. In shape it re-
sembles great tadpole. Whereas 9th
er types are inconvenienced by wind
of from 80 to 30 feet second, LIE
Caquot can remain in the air unless
the wind exceeds 65 to 75 feet per Sec

1t takes so experienced men to ma
neuver it, for as soon as it leaves the
shed great attention must be paid to
the wind currents, so as to save the
envelope from being torn. Attached to
the balloon is wicker car, in which
the observer is installed with his maps
charts, arms, barOmeters, and tele-
phone, the latter fixed over his ears sc
as to leave his hands free. He is also
provided with glass and a white silk
parachute for an emergency.

IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN GROWTH OF HOGS
Problem of Exercise Is Difficult
to Solve in Winter-Good
Plan Is Outlined.

Exercise is one of the most impOr-
tant factors in the growth of hogs.
Hogs that are confined in small lot
do not develop sufficient stretch and
frame, points out Ray Gatewood, in
structor in animal husbandry in the
agricultural college.
''The problem of exercise" said Mr..
Gatewood, ''is more difficult to solve
In winter than in any other season Of
the year due TO the fact that hogs
should be kept off the pasture for tie
good of the pasture.
Exercise can best be provided by
allowing the hog free range on a field
which is fenced hog tight and which
has not been planted to any crop. Stalk
fields in which cattle are running make
a desirable place for stock hogs. Be
cause hogs are likely to remain in
their sheds too much in the winter
they should feed some distance from
their sleeping quarters. This forces
them to take certain amount of ex
ercise."

Glass Eye That Moves.

Capt. J. L. Aymard, a British army
surgeon, describes in the Lancet an
improved glass eye which can move.
The chief drawbacks to the ordinary
glass eye are that, being simply con-
veX shell Of glass, it tends to sink
back into the socket and is fixed in a
stony stare. Captain Aymard gets
over these difficulties by placing in
the socket of the eye a sphere of llv-
ing cartilage or gristle taken without
risk from the patients ribs. 1t is all
one operation. While one surgeon re-
moves the destroyed eye, another sur
geOn removes the pieces of cartilage
from near the patients breastbone.
Two pieces are made into little
globe, which is placed in the socket
and the thin outer covering of the eye,
! the coniunctiva. is sewn over to hold
| it in place. The ordinary glass eye
shell is inserted over this and is pre-
vented from sinking backwards. Some
movement of the eve by the wearer is

pack equipment in the canoe.
"All aboard for the north side" he
said boyishly. And Hazel climbed Obe-
diently amidships.
On the farther side, Bill emptied the
canoe, and slowed it out of sight in a
convenient thicket, repacked his
horses and struck out again. Hazel
drew upon her knowledge of British
Columbia geography, and decided that
the big river where Bill hid his canoe
must be the Fraser where it debOuched
from the mountains. And in that case
she was far north, and in a wilderness
indeed.
Her muscles gradually hardened to
the saddle and to walking. Her appe-
tite grew in proportion. The small sup

Kate Fields Prophecy.

When, a good many years ago, Kate
Field wrote those clever verses begin

sphere as though it had a limit" little
she guessed how tremendously that
sphere was destined to be enlarged
by the coming of the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and seven
teen. AS a matter of course, observes
an exchange, the great world war Is
responsible for the very rapid advance
the women are making in every sphere
of the worlds work. We are no longer
surprised to find that women are doing
anything and everything that men can
do, from driving warplanes to shining
shoes. A shoe-polishing ''parlor" in
which only women are employed is
now doing business in Boston, yet even
this innovation scarcely challenges at
tention in these times of shifting con.
ditiOns.

unite in efforts to get rid of rats,
much more lasting results may be at
tained. If continued from year to
year, such organized efforts are very
effective.
Community Efforts.
Cooperative efforts to destroy rats
have taken various forms in different
localities. In cities, municipal en-
ployees have occasionally been set at
work hunting rats from their retreats,
with at least temporary benefit to
the community. Thus, in 1904, at
FolkestOne, England, town of about
25,000 inhabitants, the corporation
employees, helped by dogs, in three
days killed 1915 rats.
Side hunts in which rats are the
only animals that count in the con-
test have sometimes been organized
and successfully carried out. At New
Burlington, o., rat hunt took place
some years ago in which each of. the
two sides killed over 5000 rats, the
beaten party serving a banquet tc
the winners.
There is danger that organized raj
hunts will be followed by long in
tervals of Indifference and inaction
This may be prevented by offering
prizes covering a definite period OF
effort. Such prizes accomplish more
than municipal bounties, because they
secure a friendly rivalry which stim
ulates the contestants to do their ut
most to win.
In England and some of its colonies
contests for prizes have been organ

This they followed north matter of
three days. On the west the valley
wall ran to a timbered ridge.
Then the stream they followed
merged itself in another, both wide and
deep, which flowed west through a
level-bottomed valley three miles or
more in width. Roaring Bill halted on
the river bank and stripped his horses
clean, though it was but two in the
afternoon and their midday fire less

watched him curiously. When his
packs were off he beckoned to her.

put the lead ropes in her hand.
Then he went up the bank into a
thicket of saskatOons. Out of this he
presently emerged, bearing on his
shoulders a canoe, old and weather
beaten, but stanch, for it rode light
as a feather on the stream. Bill
seated himself in the canoe, holding to
Silks lead rope. The other two he

Roaring Bill made his camp that
night as if no change in their attitude

NATURAL FEED FOR POULTRY
Hens Should Receive Grains and Other
Milling Products, Meat Meals
and Green Stuff.

The natural food of poultry consists
of grains, insects, green forage and
grit, and accordingly in domestication
it is reasonable that the hens receive
cereal grains and other milling prod
ucts, and such animal feeds as meat
meals and skim milk, and should also
have an abundance of green feed or
such substitutes for it as roots or
steamed clover. Oyster shells, grit and
plenty of fresh water should also be
supplied.

Farmers Should Give Careful Atten-

During the winter months farmers

This will acquaint manufacturers and
their agents with the demand in differ

the best possible distribution. At the
same time it will eliminate expensive

WHEN SOIL is UNHEALTHFUL
Sometimes Becomes So Saturated
With Droppings That Hens Are
Likely to Contract Disease.

Ground may get so saturated with
the drOppings that it becomes un-
healthful; if food is thrown on the
ground, the flock is likely to contract
diseases common to filth. Where such
a condition exists, it is best to remove
a couple of inches of soil and fill in
with clean sand or coarse gravel.

The West Point Course,

The course of instruction at the
West Point Military academy requires
four years, and is chiefly mathemati-
cal and professional. Each cadet is
paid by the government 500 a year
while at the academy, that sum being
about sufficient for his support. Only
one leave of absence is allowed dur
ing the four years, and this is granted
at the end of the second year. The
regular session of study and academic
duties continues from September 1 to
June 1, the intervening months being
spent in camp, where practical mill
tary training is given. At the end of
four years cadets are graduated and
commissioned as second ieutenants
in the United States army.
