AIR SCREW IS NOW USED
AS TRACTION PROPELLER

The rapid development Of the air
screw and of the power for driving It,
and its remarkable efficiency, are en-
couraging its use even in applications
where a more substantial traction Is
available. Now a European builder has
incorporated the air-dFive principle
into a 14-ton, 40-passenger locomotive.
which is Illustrated in the December
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The two
vertical engines are mounted outside
the body of the coach, front and rear,
with a powerful air screw on the shaft
of each, and the big truck runs at ex-
press train speed.

1t Pays to Give the
Sheep Better. Care

Seven farm sheep demonstrations
were held last year in Missomri. '
LOCK owners cooperating with sheen
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the
state agricultural college-the re-
suits OF which, among other things
showed that it pays we'll to give
sheep proper care. In two If tho
demonstrations, where grade animals
were kept, one flock produced ms
per cent OF lambs, which means that
some OF the ewes had twin lambs
while the other flock produced onlv
% per cent of lambs, which means
That large number of the ewes did
not produce any or that the lambs
were TOO weak at birth to be saved
me wool from the first flock was
sold at sc cents pound, while the
wool from the second flock brought
% cents pound. The cost of feed
OF the first flock amounted to S705
Tor each animal, while the sheen of
the second flock were fed at q cost
OF $l.34 each. The total cost. in the
nrst hook amounted to $3.50 an.
animal, as compared to $2.57 for the
second flock. But the net profit a
head-the point which is most i'm
portant to all sheep raisers-was
$o.a4 IN the first flock as compared
to $2.22 In the second flock, and the
net return on the investment
amounted to 21.77 per cent in the
nrst mock as compared to 1923 per
cent IN the second flock. .

held a meeting in the city hall Tues

building up the women's organiza-
ton and bringing experts here for
demonstration work.
At this meeting Miss Bullock,
home demonstrating agent for Bon
neville county, who is the same as
county agent, leading in better
ment work among farmers wives
and boys and girls clubs, told the
women of what could be accom-
plished by an organization that
would foster home activities such as
the care of poultry, care of children,
remaking clothing, preserving foods
and the like.
There were dozen women present
at this meeting and all of them
showed enthusiasm for the proposed
campaign of education. They will
hold a meeting the first Tuesday in

A Million Members
for Farm Bureaus

A million members next year in
the farm bureaus of the thirty-three
northern and western states is the
goal set in a notice to county agent
leaders and county agents by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Reports show that on April 1
there were 409,841 farm bureau
members in these states, with 1878
community committees-nearly a 80
per cent increase since the Deem
Der, 1918, report, despite the influ-
enza epidemic which handicapped
membership Campaigns.
According to the 1910 census"
says the notice to county agents,
there were 3,262,955 farms in the
northern and western states. With
one-third of the farms represented
in the farm. bureaus they could be
truly said to be fairly representative.
Farmers should not be coaxed or
scared or fooled into the farm
bureau. The organization is an ap-
peal to their intelligence and their
memberships should be solicited on
a thoroly dignified, common sense,
business basis. Now is the time to
make plans for the annual member
ship campaigns for next fall and
winter. Some Of the state may wish
to do this on statewide basis"

REPOPULATING IDAHO

Idaho births reported in the
month of May were more than two
and one-fourth times as numerous
as deaths registered in the same per-
iod, according to figures which have
just been announced by the state
department of public welfare. Ex-
actly 754 native Idahoans drew their
first breaths in the course of the
month, while only 1873 residents of
the state were called to the great
majority.
May births exceeded those re-
ported in April by fifty-nine, the lat
ter months total having been sos.
The birth-to-death ratio which OBJ
tanned in May evidenced itself in the
previous month, April's death GER
tificates aggregating 800.
O. Henry's theories anent the
"marry month of May" found vindi-
cation in the marriage statistics an
nounced. May espousals totaled 1874,
while only ninety-one couples en-
tered upon welded existence in April.
