PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
MENTIONED IN BIBLE

II commend unto you Phoebe, our
sister, who is a servant of the Church
which is at Cenchrea," wrote st. Paul
to the Romans, that we assist her in
whatsoever business she hath need
of you, for she hath been a succorer
of many and of myself also"
Phoebe. explains Biblical history,
was woman who went about nursing
the sick and teaching them better
methods of living. Phoebe was the
first public health nurse.
Public health nursing, which is one
of the most important enterprises in
the peace program of the American
Red Cross, is not new movement,
but it is one which heretofore has
never received its just need of atten-
ton as a factor In maintaining the
health of the nation.
Phoebe's sister in the twentieth CEN
fury is the community nurse who
teaches better. cleaner living. Because
the betterment of public health is now
definitely accepted as an individual
and a community responsibility, the
Red Cross will make definite effort
to raise the standards of living in the
United States by urging the employ
ment of public health nurses in all
cities, towns and rural districts. par.
ticularly In those where there are no
organized public health activities. A
healthier, happier America-that Is
what the Red Cross is striving toward
in its Roll Call the first weeks In No

secretary of agriculture In his annual
report.
Protection of the forests during the
season of 1918 proved an exceptionally
difficult task, says the secretary. An
unusual strain was imposed on an or
ganizatlon somewhat depleted in num-
bers and much weakened by the loss Of
many Of its most experienced men.
Added to this was the difficulty of Sc
curing good men for temporary ap-
pointment as guards during the fire
season, and parties Of men for fight
ing large fires. An unusually early and
severe dry season caused the outbreak
Of serious fires before the summer
protective organization was fully
ready.
Some embarrassment In meeting the
situation, the report comments, was
caused by the failure of the annual ap-
preparation act to pass congress until
after the fire season was virtually
over. Relief was furnished by the
president, who placed $1,O0O,0O0 at the
secretary's disposal as loan from the
presidents emergency fund. 1t may
be necessary, the secretary says, to
seek from congress again deficiency
appropriation Of $750,00O.

Layers Need Animal Feed.

Chickens eat a large amount of ami
NAL matter In the form of insects,
worms, and other low forms of animal
life when allowed to range at will.
If the poultry keeper is to get the
best results from his fowls in winter
he must furnish a substitute for this
class of feed. For this purpose green
cut bone. meat or fish scraps, and ami.
nal meal may be used. Green cut
bone is usually fed by itself, while the
scraps and meal may be readily mixed
with the mash. Cut bone consists Of
green or fresh bone sliced or shaved
into thin pieces by bone cutter.
Bones fresh from the butcher have
more or less meat adhering, and the
more Of such meat the better, for the
combination of bone and meat is sx-
cellent for producing eggs. Where q
good supply of fresh bone can be OBJ
tained regufaHs fts ~ sery useful, but
1t cannot be kept sweet for such long
periods as ,tbAaepaRe, ,sHds sapjw9f meal.
Green cut bone should be fed carefully
and In a sweet condition. otherwise
bowel trouble may result. One pound
O day Is Sufficient for 20 hens, but not
over one-half pound should be fed to
that number when nrst beginning to
feed II.

FORECASTS OF GREAT VALUE
Much Money and Thousands Of
Pounds Of Meat May Be Saved by
Watching Weather Forecasts.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Cattlemen In the West and South
west may save thousands of dollars
and many thousand pounds of meat
during the winter season IL they will
watch weather forecasts. They should
give attention not only to the regular
forecasts but to the special daily
forecasts issued by weather bureau
stations in cities and towns Of con-
siderable size. during the winter in
regard to minimum temperatures ex-
pected to occur within q shipping
radius of one day or two days Of the
station. In northwestern Texas last
winter a number Of herds of cattle,
nggregating many thousand dollars In
value. died from exposure to de-
structive cold wave which had been

warnings Of which had been dissent

tial to the best results in feeding. Most
or fish scraps, while suburban poultry
keepers either feed this product or
table scraps; but few farmers buy any
meat feed Some form of feed con-
tanning animal protein must be sup
piled If any eggs are to be obtained
in the winter. Skim milk OF butter
milk is available on many farms, and
where 1t is not it would probably pay
most farmers to buy beef scrap or some
other meat feed. Fowls on free range
on the farms pick up bugs and in
sects during part of the year, which
furnish this protein feed. so that the
use of additional meat feeds is regu-
lated by individual conditions. Fowls
closely confined need more animal feed
than those on good range; and In
cold climate, where no bugs or in
sects are available during several win
ter months, more animal feed must
be supplied than in sections where the
winters are mild. ~-,/
Balanced Ration for Poultry.
A well-balanced, simple ration may
be made Of equal parts, by weight. Of
wheat, cracked corn, and oats fed
twice daily, usually in the morning and
at night. The grain may be either
scattered on the range in summer and
In the litter In the poultry house in
winter. or fed In the house throughout
the year. 1t should be supplemented
with wet or dry mash of two parts
of cornmeal and one part each Of
wheat bran, middlings, and beef scrap.
One feed Of mash may be fed at any
time during the dsy and the grain fed
for the other two meals. Regulate the
proportions Of grain and mash so that
the hen will consume about equal parts
Of each. About one quart of grain
daily should be fed to every 16 Leg
horn hens, or to 13 general purpose
hens, such as the Plymouth Rocks,
with an equal weight of mash. This
amount, however. varies, and should
be regulated by the feeder, as the hens
should be eager for each meal. Leg
horns will eat about 55 pounds Of grain
and mash in year, and Plymouth
Rocks or hens of the general-purpose
class, about IS pounds.

temperature higher than 100 degrees
or lower than 80 degrees h. A TEN
perature between 80 degrees and 30
degrees II. during the day and so de-
grees and 60 degrees during the night
will give good results. 1t is not ad-
visable to give the dolls second soak
ing. A good way to prevent drying
out Is to wrap them up In a piece Of
wet sacliing or put them upright in an
ordinary water bucket and cover them
with a wet cloth. In either case, pro-
vision must be made for draining off
excess moisture. At the end of five
days, with temperatures approximate
ing those recommended, the kernels
should be sprouted sufficiently to show
their fitness for seed.
If any sample has noticeably weak
termination or has more than two
dead kernels, the ear from which the
sample was taken should be discarded.
There may be times, such as the spring
oc 1913, when the supply of good seed
corn is extremely limited. In such
seasons, 1t is well to retain all ears
showing a termination of 60 per cent
or more. The poorer terminating
ears will have to be used If the supply
of seed terminating 80 per cent or
better is not sufficient. Keep the
poorer seed separate and II 1t must be
used, plant 1t thicker than the rest.
When to Use Rag Dolls.
OF course, the testing of the ger
mination of each ear is some trouble.
However, to obtain q successful corn
crop 1t Is work that must be done by
those who have not retained seed corn
Of good termination from a previous
crop. The holding over Of good seed
corn from q crop that matured thor
oughly makes 1t possible to continue
the improvement and adaptation Of a
strain without losing seed and Is less
troublesome than the making Of sepa-
rate ear termination tests. The use
of the rag doll, therefore, is not recon-
mended as the best practice possible,
but as the most satisfactory way of
getting suitable homegrown seed
when a supply has not been held over
from good crop and fall freezes have
occurred so early as to injure the ger
minating power Of the crop.

piled as often as necessary to protect
them against discomfort and losses
caused by ear ticks. Herds grazing
on infested ranges should be treated
late In the fall or early In the winter
to prevent winter and spring losses to
poorly nourished range cattle. All
animals In an infested herd should be
treated whether or not they show in
festation.
When animals are grossly infested
and the ear canals are packed full Of
ticks the parasites are easily visible,
but when the infestation Is light or
moderate the ticks may be overlooked.
The parasites usually attach them
selves in the deep folds of the ear or
crawl into the ear canal and follow 1t
inward, sometimes as far as the ear
drum. Animals badly infested usually
shake their heads and repeatedly turn
them from side to side, meanwhile in
verting first one ear and then the
other.
Restraining Animals for Treatment.
Most animals oppose the insertion
Of anything into their ears. The farm
er who has only few gentle farm anil
mails to treat NAV tie them to post
or restrain them py other well-known
methods, but In treating herds of wild
range cattle or horses special equip
ment, such as dehorning chutes, brand
ing chutes or other cattle chutes may
be used.
Ear ticks are especially prevalent In
the semiarid sections Of the south
western area Of the United States. The
infested areas, however. extend as far
north as Nevada and Oregon. The
climate In parts Of Texas. Oklahoma,
New Mexico, Arizona and California
seems to favor their rapid multIplica-
tlon.' The ticks remain attached to
the ears of the animals for several
months, and shipments Of live stock
from the infested area to various
points In the United States cause the
parasites to become widely dlssemlnat-
ed, but moisture Is apparently detri-
mental to their development In certain
stages, and they do not seem to be
able to flourish In any part Of the
United States except the semiarid
sections Of the West

EAR TICKS May
Be CONTROLLED
Injection of Pine Tar and Cotton
seed Oil Found to Be Effec-
tive With Stock.
DIPPING IS NOT effective
Animals In infected Territory Should
Be Examined at Frequent Inter-
walls and Treatment Applied
as Often as Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Ear ticks, blood-sucking parasites,
which infect the ears of cattle, horses,
sheep, dogs and other animals and
cause heavy losses among live stock in
the semiarid sections OF the south
western states, cannot be eradicated
by dipping, but may be controlled and
losses may be prevented by injecting
into the ears of infested animals a
mixture of pine tar and cottonseed
oil.
Dipping Not Effective.
Unlike the cattle fever tick, which
attaches itself to the outside portions
Of cattle, the ear tick cannot be eradi-
Gated or controlled by the ordinary
methods Of dipping. The remedy thor
oughly tested by the bureau of animal
industry in field investigations con-
sists of two parts by volume Of or
dinary commercial pine tar and one
part by volume of cottonseed oil. This
mixture is injected directly into the
ears by means Of q metal or hard rub
Der syringe.
In mixing the ingredients the cotton
seed oil should be added to the pine
tar and stirred until a uniformly
smooth mixture Is obtained. In cold
weather the pine tar and cottonseed
oil should>be warmed so they will mix
readily and flow freely, but they
should not be heated more than is nec-
essary.
This preparation when properly ap-
piled kills the ticks but does not injure
the animals. Cottonseed oil is fairly
good solvent for ear wax, and the mix
ture penetrates ordinary loose masses
of ear wax and ticks, but it will not
penetrate the hard masses, to break
up which the use of an ear probe made
Of baling wire Is suggested. The prep
aration recommended not only kills
all ear ticks with which it comes in
contact, but being Of sticky consls-
tency it remains in the ears and pro-
tects the animals against reinfesta-
tion for about 80 days.
Frequency of Treatment.
Animals in the infested area, the
bulletin says, should be examined at
frequent intervals and treatment ap-

GRIT ESSENTIAL

Grit is essential to the health
of fowls and to economy in feed
ing. Grit takes the place of
teeth in preparing the feed for
further digestion and is required
for the proper preparation Of
feed in the gizzard. When the
feed is not properly taken care
of in this organ an undue strain
is thrown on the fowls system,
often resulting in disease, and
also allowing much of the nutri-
ment to pass through the birds
body without being absorbed.
In every pen or yard a box of
grit should be kept.
