White Ants in the Soudan
Dispose of Dead Vegetation

In Soudan Notes and Records plea
is made on behalf Of the white ant,
which has naturally acquired bad
reputation among European residents.
The characteristic feature Of the eli
mate of the Soudan is the rapid
growth Of vegetation, promoted by
seasonal rains or artificial irrigation,
followed by period or drought and
Gesiccation. The white ant attacks
vegetation only when it is weakened
by drought or disease, and in that
case the sooner it is destroyed the
better. But for the activity Of the
white ant the whole Of the fertile
parts of the Soudan would, in very
few years, be covered with an impene-
trable layer Of dead vegetation; and
the only alternative method to clear
it off would be by the agency Of fire,
the dangers of which are obvious
Nature.

Among the big problems which the
new Congress will have to dispose of, is
the one Of the railroads. If during gov
eminent operation, with freight rates
increased by % per cent, and passenger
rates increased by 80 per cent, the
roads have run so fearfully behind, as
is; claimed, then, indeed, government
ownership Of railroads has received a
knockout blow and the soonerthe roads
are returned to their owners, the better
1t will be for the country. And yet we
cannot help thinking that the operation
Of the roads during the stress and
wastefulness Of a great war does not
furnish fair; test of the success of
government ownership of railroads.
No effort has been made to operate the
roads economically, but rather the op-
posite it would seem, in order to make
government ownership odious in the
eyes Of the people. It may not be amiss
for Congress to investigate the system
Of bookkeeping used in ascertaining the
cost of operation and figuring the
losses.

:. IS
II s1s folly to count ones chickens I'M
fn they art Matched, and yet it is very
human to do SO. When the wheat is
soWn, and even long before, we figure
ont the number Of bushels that will be
harvested, yes even count the dollars
that will jingle in the pocket when the
crop IS sold. It is this hope Of reward
p the future that buoys one up and
spurs one to action. And yet how fu-
tile are all the efforts of man If Prov
tdence withholds its blessings. Little
insects, rust spores, night frost, little
innocent raindrops, hail storm, a
cyclone and many other ways in which
nature expresses itself, may dash to
pieces mans fondest hopes. And yet it
behooves all to work and to wait, hop.
Ing Tor the reward that will come to all
who labor intelligently with patience.

MANAGEMENT Oh
The INCUBAT0

Results Of incubation depend large
" upon the management Of the ma
chimes, the first essential being good
fertile eggs from thrifty breeding
stock. Good matches cannot be OBJ
tanned from poor eggs, writes an au-
thority.
Incubators should be tried out sew
eral days before eggs are to be put
into them. See that all parts are In
perfect working order and that the
temperature runs regularly at 103 de-
grees Fahrenheit for several hours be-
fore placing the eggs in the machine.
Never put eggs into cold machine
nor one that is not In perfect regula-
ton and running at proper tempera-
ture.
Eggs should be turned twice daily
after the second day of incubation IN.
til the eighteenth day, when the ma
chine should be closed after the last
turning and not opened for any reason
until the chicks are all out of the shell
that are going to hatch, which should
be by the middle of the twenty-drst
day Of incubation.
Great quantities Of moisture should
be provided. It is not SO important
that the moisture be provided in the
machine as It is to keep the air moist
in the room where the incubators are
in operation. This can be done by
placing burlap on the floor and keep
ing 1t wet or by placing layer of
sand on thefloor and keeping it thor
ough1y wet.
mcubators should be operated in a
basement or some room that Is well
insulated, so that the temperature
in the room can be controlled.
Incubators should be perfectly clean
when receiving eggs. A good plan is
to thoroughly wash all Of the parts
and disinfect the machine thoroughly
and allow to dry before placing in
the eggs.
Run the temperature as evenly as
possible at 103 Fahrenheit throughout
the period. Air the eggs often and as
long at each airing as the temperature
in the room will permit. Sixty degrees
Fahrenheit is a good incubator cellar
temperature.
Do not change regulator unless alb
solutely necessary. Keep the lamps
clean. Keep an even fame. Keep
the char off the wick. Use only good
oil. ..s

Many Head Of Them Were Poisoned

Losses Of hundreds Of sheep and
cattle by stock raisers in San Juan
county, New Mexico, were explained
when the county agent discovered the
whirled milk weed and it's poisonous
properties. The agent pointed out the
plant to farmers and stockmen. Sew
eral meetings were held to plan how
to meet the danger and committees
were appointed to inspect every part
OF Ia. Plata district, which includes
20, 600 acres. By helping the stock
men to locate and avoid the weed, the
agent hopes that serious loss will be
avoided.

Dauphin Is Spending About
$4,000 Toward Permanent
Construction in Addition to
Amount For Subways

Dauphin county commissioners
are spending about $4,000 this year
to pay toward the permanent road
construction now under way between
Paxtonia and Beaver creek. They
have also provided about $4,000
toward the construction of the sub
ways at Swatara Station eliminating
dangerous grade crossings.
While there are six other stretches
of highway in the county which the
State will eventually aid in improv-
ing the commissioners said they do
not expect further State aid for at
least year. WhGs the 1920 budget
is prepared the officials said they
would consider providing funds for
improving short connecting links
between important roads thus fur
nishing better travel to the main
arteries of traffic in the county.
At present petitions are on file
with the State for aid in improving
important highways in Susquehanna,
Lower Paxton. East, West and South
Hanover townships.

to Be Summoned to Probe

Washington, Sept. 23.-Investiga-
ton of the steel strike by the SEN

day by the Senate. A resolution by
Speaker Kenyon, Republican, Iowa,
providing for the inquiry and au-
thorizing report as to whether any
remedial Federal action could be
taken, was adopted without a roll
call.
Senator Kenyon said it was pro-
posed to call leaders representing
both employers and employees to
Washington in an effort to deter
mine the cause of the strike. Visits
by the committee to the steel centers
are not planned, he said.
Before the Kenyon resolution was

STEAM HEAT RATE
INCREASED BY TEN
CENTS THOUSAND
Cost of Furnishing Steam
Means Deficit at Old Price,
Says the Company

The Harrisburg Light and Power
Company to-day filed with the Pub
lie Service Commission notice of an
increase or ten cents per thousand
pounds in each class or block" of its
heat rate schedule. The advance is
to be effective on ten days notice
which would put it about October
The company's rates were attack
ed by a committee of Harrisburg
merchants following an advance over
a year and half ago and the Com
mission sustained them without
prejudice to renew the complaint
Accompanying the notice of the
advance in rates is statement show
ing that the cost of supplying steam
between May 81. 1918 and the same
date this year was 64.09 cents per
thousand pounds. 1t is shown that
the cost of manufacturing the steam
was S1S6,530 and the net revenue
for steam service s159.549, leaving
a deficit of s26,9S5.
