Wider
Use of AlSike

The success of alsike clover as a
cover crop last winter in certain Sec
tons of New Jersey leads crop special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture to recommend its wider
use this year. Until further expert
ments have been made, however, they
are unwilling to make any sweeping"
claims for it as competitor of Grim
son clover. The success met with in
New Jersey, they say, well warrants
them to advise farmers to do little
experimenting for themselves.
1t is doubtful, the specialists say,
that it would be safe to SOW alsike
clover as late as the 18th of August
n sections north of Pennsylvania. u
inois, and Indiana. The young plants
would probably not make enough
growth to enable them to live through
the winter, although alsike clover it
self, when well established, is perfect
ly hardy as far as the extreme north
ern boundaries of the United States
and in Canada. Alsike clover should.
however do well sown early in August
in the States along the Atlantic sea-
board that is, New Jersey and Della
ware. Alsike should be planted early
in August for spring blowing under.
The cost of alsike seed, it is said, is
relatively lower than that of rel
clover, because the seed is small and
less needs to be sown per acre. While
the seed cost is higher than that for
crimson clover. it may prove more re-
liably winter hardy, and so have an
advantage over the crimson clover.
which so often winter-kills.

EFFORTS TO "BEAT" DOG LAW
BROUGHT TO LIGHT

A new method of endeavoring to
beat the Dog Law of 1917 has been
uncovered in the western part of the
State by agents of the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture. The act
of 1917 provides that the kennel
license may be secured for less than
ten dogs for an annual fee of IS and
for more than ten dogs the fee is fixed
at $40 per year.
Two cases were found where indi-
vidual dog owners secured kennel
licenses and then distributed the tags
among their neighbors, apportioning
the cost among the number and thus
materially reducing the annual license
fee In both cases the guilty parties
were arrested and fined, the law spe-
officially providing that kennel licenses
shall be issued only to those persons
actually maintaining dog kennels.

HOW TO TREAT IVY POISONING

In the early stages of ivy poisoning
remedies having a fatty or oily base,
such as ointments, should not be used,
as the grease or oil tends to dissolve
and spread the poison, according to
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Instead they
advise simple remedies such as local
application of solutions of cooking
soda of of EPSON salt, one or two
heaping teaspoons to a cup of water.
Fluid extract of grin6elia, diluted with
A to parts of water, is often used.
Solutions of this kind may be ap-
Piled with light bandages or clean
cloths which should be kept moist, and
should be changed and discarded fire.
qeuntly to avoid infection. During
the night, or when moist applications
cannot be used, the poisoned surfaces
should be carefully cleaned and dried
and left exposed to the air rather than
tightly bandaged. In the latter stage,
after the toxic material has exhausted
itself, zinc-oxide and astringent appli-
cations hasten healing.
These are few of the hopeful hints
concerning ivy poisoning contained in
Farmers Bulletin 1855, which tells
also how to distinguish between poi
son ivy and poison sumac. The bulle-
tin is illustrated with pictures of the
two plants, which are often confused.

ment of Agriculture, indicate that hog
cholera is less prevalent in the State
than for a number of years. This
abatement in the disease, according
to State Veterinarian E. E. Munce, is
due to the splendid cooperation the
State Bureau is now receiving from
swine breeders, veterinarians, County
Agents, dealers and others who have
to do with the breeding, handling and
treatment of swine.
More liberal and intelligent use OF
anti-hog cholera serum and virus is
an important factor in the control OF
hog cholera, and is also strict CON-
pliance with the Bureaus regulations
and advice designed to prevent the
spread of this wasteful disease.
The Bureaus policy for controlling
hog cholera is through cooperation
vaccination and sanitation. Because
there is marked falling off in the
number of cases of hog cholera, the
public must not take it for granted
that the disease is under complete
control in Pennsylvania. We must
continue to be on the alert and to take
promt and vigorous steps to stamp out
every single case of disease that ap-
pears.
If the public will continue to extend
this liberal support to this important
work, the result is assured; namely,
Eradication Of hog cholera from Penn
sylvania, and not only more and
cheaper pork for the public to eat, but
the saving of over million dollars
annually.

MUST PROPERLY FILL
CANS WITH FOOD

Gamers should fill their cans as
full of solid food as is practicable, if
they wish to have their product meet
the requirements of the pure food
laws, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, which has been
giving considerable attention to the
matter of sack-filling on the part of
manufacturers. Recently the Bureau
of Chemistry issued schedule of
drained weights for certain canned
products for the guidance of the can
ners. In reply to inquiries from can
ners who complain that in some in
stances they cannot meet these re.
quirements the department gives this
advice
"Fill the can as full of solid food
as is practicable by the best CONNER
cial methods without impairment of
the quality or appearance of the pro-
duct. The can that is as full of solid
food as is practicable and correctly
labeled will meet the requirements of
the pure food law with reference to
fill. will permit fair trading among
Gamers, and will win the confidence
of the trade and the consuming public.

fact that many animals are infested.
AS a result of this infestation the
farmers of the State have sustained
enormous losses and the owners of
the afflicted animals, in most cases
have not been familiar with the cor

FIND MARKET
REPORTER VALUABLE

A saving of $4,000 in the purchase
of 10 cars of cottonseed meal was
realized recently by New Jersey
farmers EXCHANGE as a result of an
article in the Market Reporter, pub
lished by the Bureau of Markets of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. The manager wrote that the
information in the article which dis
cussed the cottonseed meal situation
caused him to delay placing an order
for his association, with the result
noted. The letter is typical of many
received by the bureau.
The Market Reporter, issued week
ly, and sent free on application, re-
ports market conditions with regard
to live stock and meats, poultry and
dairy products, fruit, vegetables, pea
nuts, cotton, wool, grain, seeds, hay
and feeds; the prices paid at repre-
sentative markets and the volume Of
stocks being moved. The information
on these various products is obtained
from authoritative sources by means
of direct representative at large mar
ket centers, and through the co-opera
alton of some 474 railroads whose

How Radium
Was Squandered

During the war extensive use was
made of radium for luminous watch
dials. These were extremely useful,
inasmuch as, in time night attacks
and on many other occasions, it was
necessary for officers to look at their
watches, and to light match would
have been dangerous.
Radium was used also to illuminate
gunsights, thus rendering marksman.
ship at night much more accurate.
Unfortunately, since the end of the
war something like 95 per cent of our
entire output of this most precious of
substances has been used for lumin
Gus paint. 1t is senseless squandering
of what may be irreplacable; for the
sources of radium are few, and the
deposits of 'carnotite' ore in Utah,
from which our own supply is mainly
obtained, will be exhausted in about
seven years.
Considering the proved usefulness
of radium in the treatment of cancer,
this reckless waste is little short Of
ENTHUSIASTICALLY in view of the
fact that for the making of luminous
paint "mesorthorium" would serve
equally well. This is by-product of
the manufacture of thorium, which is
derived from monazite sand.
Not only has the worlds stock of
radium failed to increase of late, but
it is believed to be actually less by
one-half than it was few years ago.

WANTS MANUFACTURE OF
COATED CHERRIES STOPPED

Confectionery manufacturers in
Pennsylvania have been warned by
the Bureau of Foods, Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture to give up
the idea of manufacturing CONNECTIONS
containing cherries or glazed fruits,
for sale in this State.
Agents of the Bureau have lifted
scores of samples in every section of
the State and a hundred precautions
have just been successfully terminated
where it was found that the fruits used
in the CONNECTIONS contained sulphur
dioxide.
Not all cherries and glazed fruits
used by manufacturers contain sui
phur dioxide, but eighty per cent of all
the samples examined, showed traces
of the poison.
Director James Foust of the Bureau
of Foods has sent the warning to the
manufacturing confectioners, an
nounced that it was his intention to
give ample warning before the Christ
mas candies are manufactured. He
pointed out that it would be decidedly
to the interest of the confectioner to
stop manufacturing chocolate coated
cherries and glazed fruits rater than
to face prosecution and possibly heavy
fines.
The confectioners themselves do mo-
add the sulphur dioxide but it is used
in the preparation of the fruits, prob
ably in some distant State. The courts
of Pennsylvania have ruled and the
ruling has been sustained by the
higher courts, that no matter how
minute the amount of added and for
hidden substance may be, the product
may not be sold legally in the State.
