Find a Moth Exterminator.

Experiments of the bureau of ento-
mology, United States department Of
agriculture, have demonstrated that
naphthalene is uniformly effective in
protecting woolens from clothes moth
infection and in killing all stages Of
the insect. says the Des Moines Reg
ister A red cedar chest readily killed
all adult moths and showed consider
able killing effect upon young larvae.
It did not prevent the Matching Of
eggs, but killed all Of the resulting
larvae almost Immediately. Red ce-
dar q Ups and shavings, while not en-
tirTt5 effective in keeping the adult
moths from laying eggs on the flannel
treated, appeared to protect it from
apprecsable damage when used lib
orally.

Furope Likes American MIX.

European people have learned to
like America dairy products. Exports
Of condensed milk to Europe rose from
100000 pounds in 1914 to 530,000,-
900 pounds in 1918. and there were
notable increases in exports Of other
dairy products. Much Of this may
be due to abnormal war demands, but
the United States department of agrl.
culture believes that there is both an
opportunity and tendency to expand
in this direction over prewar require
ments. A normal increase in dairying
in this country, the department thinks,
is fully justified, provided there is the
necessary increase in feed crops.

Exports Increase.

American dairy products are more
favorably received in Europe than
ever. Exports of condensed milk to
Europe rose from 100000 pounds in
1914, to 53O,OOO,O00 in 1918. and there
were notable increases in the export
of other dairy products. Most of this
was due to war demands, but there
seems an opportunity to expand in
dairy exports. A normal increase in
dairying In this country is justified
providing there is the necessary in
crease in field crops.

splendid description of the effect of
this music upon him. He says:

PROVIDE WATER FOR HORSES
Four or Five Timee Each Day 10 Not
Too Often for Hard-vvorl<ina
Farm Animals.

A Woodworking horse or mule sweat
Ing freely requires large amount of
water. A 1,O0O-pound animal doing
nara work on warm day may re-
Quire 100 pounds. Or II gallons.
II twice a day is often enough to
water In cool weather when the ami
mails are idle, perhaps four or five
times a day is nos too often for a hard
working horse or mule on a hot day.
Still this is largely a matter of hab-
1t SO long as work is regular. It mat
tiers little whether watering is done
before or after feeding SO long as the
animal gets his water regularly.
If an animal gets water as often a.
he should have 1t, it Is not likely that
he will take too much. but II he is de-
prived of it for too long a period he
may drink more than is good for him.

EATS IN PECULIAR POSITION
Flaminqo Forced to csntortiens BE-

Lower, 10 Movable.

Nature has 50 created the heauti-
full flamingo that he does some things
both backwards and upside down. For
one thing. he eats with the crown Of
his head on the ground. in the bottom
of some shallow stream. From one
glance at his jaw one would think It
was badly broken. Instead. his bill
is in perfect working order, only things
are reversed with 1t, and his lower
saw is securely fixed, while his upper
jaw is movable. Both portions of his
big beak are arranged in a series of
thin plates, like the bills of all men,
beers Of the duck family, so that he can
easily sift the nice squirmy things he
likes from the soft mud.
Flamingoes frequent salt marshes.
and when these become dry will then
go long distance to find others. Florida
used to be the birds happy hunting
ground and many lovely members. Of
the family could be met in other coun-
trles. Very few Of them are left now.
and those surviving are very shy OF
the hunter, and seldom seen. Very
few are left in this country. and bird
lovers predict that In few years
more they will become extinct.

horses adapted to western range and
farm conditions. Stations at this sta
ton are available for use by mare
owners in the community, and from
time to time they will be sent for SER

and Colorado. Stations developed for
the range weigh from 1900 to 1,4OO

Ways Of Selling Products.
The way in which farm forest prod
ucts are sold may have a good deal to
do with the profit an owner gets from
his tract. There are four ways of
selling: (1) BY scale measurement of
rough products; (2) by the piece. for
such products as ties and poles; (3)
by the boundary, for a lump sum
and (4) by lumber scale Of sawed
products.
Selling by the log or piece is the
simplest method. lies, poles, piling,
etc., are always sold by the piece. The
important things to know are the diff
ferent grades of each product and
their relative value. Fire wood, pulp
wood and excelsior wood are sold
either by the cord or rick. This, too,
is a comparatively simple method Of
marketing. To be sure of selling prof
itably by boundary for a lump sum,
the owner must make a very careful
estimate Of the amount and value Of
his timber.
When to Cut Timber.
In the majority Of cases the best
time to cut timber is in the winter
months. Winter-cut timber seasons
slowly and evenly, and by the time the
warm weather comes is air-dried.
Products which must be peeled, how
ever, such as ties. poles. and tan bark,
should be cut in spring, when the bark
peels most easily. Veneer logs can
be cut in any season Of the year, pro-
vided they are delivered without long
delay after being cut, and the ends
are painted to avoid rapid drying and
checking Of the wood. Pulp wood and
tannin-extract wood may be cut and
shipped at any season of the year.

IDEA ORIGINATED IN ORIENT
Finger-Print System Claimed to Have
Been In Use In Far East for
Many Years

The finger-print system that sleuths
all over the world have successfully
used in catching desperate criminals
was the invention Of orientals, either
Chinese or Japanese. according to
Fillipo de Filippi, writing IN Nature.
The discovery was originally credited
to Sir w. Herschel. In q parliamentary
blue book, but Kumagusus Minakata.

East.
No one in the controversy quoted
Rashid-ud-din, who wrote about the
system in use in Cathay even in his
day. 1t was finger-print system Of
sort, although not like that in use
today. There was no blackening Of
the hands prior to the taking Of the
impression, but rather the hand was
placed on paper and traced by the per-
son taking the print. The hands Of
contracting parties were always placed
On deeds In those days.
De Filippi says that this ancient
system is worthy Of investigation to-
day. as study of the drawings shows
