SEES PROSPERITY IN 1919.
Franklin sales Manager Aualynes
Business Conditions.

A good idea OF American business
mems attitude toward the future might
be found in the experience OF s. Il. Ack-
erman, sales manager for the Franklin
Automobile Company of Syracuse. In
the interests of the company Mr.. Acker
man has within the past few months held
sales conferences with Franklin dealers
in practically every section of the United
States. AS a consequence his analysis Of
business conditions is national, rejecting
the spirit OF the country as whole. and
not influenced by any particular local
condition.
The result OF this widespread invests
gation can be viewed almost rs a com
plete assurance that. despite the short
time since the United States was in the
midst of war. 1919 will prove the most
prosperous year this country has ever
seen.
steel and coal production and farm
crops are the barometers by which the
clouds OF depression or the sunshine of
business prosperity must be measured"
says Mr.. Alderman, and certainly the
readings are clear enough at this time.
Facilities for the production of steel have
Increased tremendously during the past
year. as has also the production of COAL
And in practically all the agricultural re-
gions the outlook is most reassuring.
with this greatly increased produc-
ton. large markets are required. and
these are readily available through the
greatly increased buying powers at home
and the pressing need for American
products abroad.
with our company these conditions
are already being felt. Even though our
productive effort has been especially Wig
orous. the demand exceeds the supply by
large margin, and the pressure Is In
creas!ng every day"

to win the war did more, in my opinion.
to pave the way for a more prosperous
future for the automobile industry than
any other one thing" says Mr.. Pfefrer.
Il realize fully that right now we as
sociate the war and the automobile with
the splendid service and jncalculable
benefit which motorized transportation
was TO tho armies in the field, just as
we associate tire soldiers part in the
struggle with the unquestioned heroism
OF the men in the front line trenches.
But in the same way we neglect the
greater majority of the fighters who,
battled at home. We neglect the much
greater army of motor cars which went
into the struggle on. every road in the
United Stairs. But because we were 80
close to the stay-at-homcs, II is hard to
get the proper Persrectivc.
II think ! set MY finger on the vital
spot when ] recall the fact that during
the war more people found out the bcne-
nts or motorized transportation. from
both the business and recreational side.
than ever had known II before. The
business men who were forced to speed
up'thelr daily life. and found that speed
could be obtained by the use Of an
automobile :. these game men who dis
covered the vocational benefits of tho
automobile. which could be utilized with
out loss of business time or efficiency !;
those who tried the motor car in their
business and daily life as an experiment
and found the. results were far better
than they had expected all these were
awakened, by the work OF the automobile
at home.
Moreover. they need no Imagination
to apply what they have discovered to
times of peace. The automobile has done
for them just what It could have done
before the war. and can do now that
II !s over. They have seen Il work out
and. they are now absolutely and for
ever committed TO the motor car as a
necessity--a thing vital to their daily
life. There can he only one result OF
such q demonstration.
IAN appetite for owning motor cars,
greater and founded on even better
grounds than ever before. has been
created all over the country. This appo-
tito or demand must be filled. and I
believe that 1t will take years to fll II.
even with the gigantic production OF
automobiles that this country now has.
Moreover. 7 believe that It Is n whole
some demand--one based on utility
principally. Consequently. families
which might never have felt the ability
to buy an automobile will mako the
aDllty. For, II anyone can be shown
the economic value OF an investment, la
will find means to make that Investment.
THE immediate future Of the Indus
try holds the promise OF big season and
the seasons TO come after have the same
outlook because OF these things There
IT, believe. no room for doubling this.
The motor car Is no longer plaything
or luxury. II Is n necessity, just as
much rs our street cars or railroads.
And FOR Il. as FOR these things, Their al
ways will be a brisk demand"

1t ia impossible to tell definitely the
amount Of raw material which will be
available for automobile production, but
n II certain that the allotment will not
be adequate since the source of supply
has not yet been fully converted to a
peace time basis.
There is no question but what the de-
mand for automobiles this year Will
greatly exceed lRst year. The foreign
markets which have been closed to
American manufacturers for some time
arc now demanding cars. and export
shipments are even now being made. In
our own country. money which has been
reserved for expected war time needs
will now go into motor cars as well as
other much wanted essentials.

India Leads in Cattle
Production With America
Ranking Close Second

Contrary to popular opinion, the
United States Is not the worlds great
est cattle country, says the New York
Times. India has 100, 100000 more than
America, though this country is sec
ond. and there are 20 countries tina,
have more than two million each.
In the last 33 years Guernseys led by
far all other breeds in numbers of
purebred cattle imported into this
country, and Of the five breeds leading
the importations four were distinctly
dairy types.
More than $3.50 Guernsey cattle
were imported; Jerseys ranked second
In number, with Durhams, including
Shorthorns, third; Holsteins fourth,
and Ayrshires fifth. The volume of
purebred cattle importations has been
extremely variable.
These facts are brought out in a
recent publication of the department,
of agriculture, which shows the trend
of the industry In this country and it's
relation to the world trend.

Chronometer Exceeds Its
Previous Record, Varying
Six Hundredths of Second.

Showing q daily variation Of but six
one-hundredths of a second, says the
Philadelphia Record, a chronometer
entered in the competition at the Gen
eva conservatory exceeded the former
record made in the year 1891 by one
h%undredth of a second. One hundred
and sixteen chronometers were entered
in the 1918 contest, against 1872 in 1917
and 100 in 1915. OF these 116 entries,
five were marine c~hrOnometerS and Ill
pocket chronometers or watches, two
Of the latter being complicated pieces.
Professor Raoul Gautier, Of the In
dustrial Arts society, writes Consul
Lewis w. Hassel from Geneva, in read
ing q report on the competition, gives
some interesting details on the tests
which are made to determine the ac-
curacy Of the timepieces. The chro-
nometers are graded on a scale Of 1000
points. The ideal watch would be
granted 300 points for its daily pre-
cision, 300 points for its ability to sup
port changes Of position, 300 points
for it's ability to support changes Of
temperature, and 100 points for It's abil-
ity to resume it's normal precision at
ter the changes Of position and tenn
perature. The different deviations Of
time are quoted in hundredths Of a Sec
ond. The maximum allowed at the
Geneva conservatory for pocket chro-
nometers Is one-half second of devia-
ton during one days run, two seconds
after the position has changed, fifteen
one-hundredths for each degree Of diff
ferent temperature, and two ana one
half seconds Of deviation after having
resumed the normal position and tenn
perature.

Holland Most Systematic
in Cultivation of Oysters

In the industry represented by oy-
ster cultivation Holland is the most
systematic in its operations and en-
plOys more elaborate methods than any
other country in the world. The nu-
merOus sounds that indent the coast Of
Holland, particularly in the region of
the River Scheldt. afford excellent ia
cilities for the propagation of the oy-
ster and enable the country to conduct
the most successful oyster industry In
Europe. Public dredging is not permit
ted, as the result Of that system was
the threatened exhaustion Of the fish
cries, and the beds have been carefully
surveyed and specific tracts are leased
to individuals and companies who are
thus enabled to conduct the propaga-
ton of the oyster in a systematic man.

Acid to Kill Bedbuqs.

There are several standard prepa-
rations to kill bedbugs, reaches and

recommends a lice powder made as fol-
lows: Take three parts Of gasoline
and one part Of crude carbolic acid,
90-95 per cent, strength or, If the acid
cannot be obtained as directed, three
parts gasoline and one part cresol.
Mix these together and add gradually,
with stirring, enough plaster Of Paris
to take up all moisture-about four
quarts Of plaster Of Paris to one quart
of the liquid. Thoroughly mix the liq-
uid and plaster in order to get uniform
distribution and strength. The result

Serbian Families, Once
Rich, Now Make Homes in
Barns and Chicken Coops

In northern Serbia many families,
wealthy before the war, have been
found by officers Of the American Re
lief administration and the American
Red Cross living in stables and chicken
coops.
Their homes had been destroyed by
the advancing Or %retreating armies.
Now their beds were heaps Of straw
covered with burlap. 1t was all that
remained as furniture in their once
pretentious estates. Penniless and
with no clothing except what they
wore, these people returned in pitiable
condition. Many Of the refugees made
their way across Serbia in makeshift
garments of burlap bags, which had
contained American food sent to re-
lieve their hunger.
The condition Of the Serbian peas
ants is beyond description. A large
proportion are homeless. Most fam
lilies have been deprived of their wage
earners by death. The mother is now
obliged to support herself and chill
dren on what she can procure on a
farm stripped Of it's machinery and

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

For years il was contended by au-
thorities that it was useless aver to
use nest eggs as attractions to hens,
that biddy, like the COW, could not be
deceived. The non-professional for in
stance, rigidly adhered to the old-time
idea that nest eggs were requisite.
Prof. George M. Turpin, of Iowa Uni
versity, in a bulletin called the "Nest-
ing Habits of Hens" gives a prominent
place to the use of Nest Eggs" He
starts out with the statement that no
data had been established as to
whether the nest egg influenced biddy
or not. He made a careful test, placing
40 hens in a house and prepared 16
nests for them, some with China eggs,
others hen product, and others again
with no nest eggs. The result of bid
dy'S choice was PA fresh eggs in the
China bait, 200 in the natural attrac-
ton and 10S in the nests with no cam
outage, showing .35, At, and II per
cent respectively. The conclusion is
that hens like nest eggs and prefer the
natural one.
