DEMONSTRATE TREATMENT
FOR STOMACH WORMS IN SHEEP

Sheep breeders in Pennsylvania suf.
fer heavy loss each year from in
roads made in the docks by stomach
worms and intestinal parasites. The
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture, through its Bureau of Animal In
dustry has perfected a drench treat
ment for sheep and experiments con-
Quoted over period of years has
shown the treatment to afford highly
beneficial results.
At the request of the Pennsylvania
State College and the county farm
agent of Greene County, DR.. T. e.
Munce, head of the Bureau of Animal
Industry, recently sent an expert from
his bureau to Greene County where a
number of interesting demonstrations
were conducted. Greene County is
one of the biggest sheep growing coun-
ties in the State and the results OBJ
tanned from the demonstration were
SO successful that they will be re-
peated in other counties.
The demonstrations are held in CO
operation with the local veterinarians
in each community.

cargo of tea. The people of the city
regarded the shipment as an insult and
defiance of their will. They gathered
in the street to denounce the local i'm
porters and to organize for the de-
struction of the tea.
The local importer appealed to
Charles Carrollton, for protection.
His answer was that the only way
by which they could escape personal
violence would be to burn both ship
and cargo instantly, and in plain sight
of the infurated populace. This was
done, and the burning ship and cargo
in Annapolis harbor was quite as spec
tacular as the emptying of cargo Of

CLUSTER FLIES ANNOYING TO
HOUSEWIVES AT THIS SEASON

The cluster fly, big, lazy fly many
times the size of the ordinary house
fly, is causing housewives no little
concern at the present time, according
to letters reaching the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture. The life history of the
cluster fly is unknown but it is prob
able that they breed in decaying vege-
table matter, outdoors and fly indoors
only upon the approach of winter.
The flies at this season are found in
the corners of dark unused rooms. in
closets under clothing or beneath cur
tains at windows. In the spring time
these flies will be found swarming on
windows.
One method of getting them out of
the house is to have the curtains up,
admitting as much light as possible
to the room having the windows open
a short distance from the top. The
flies will promptly migrate to more
congenial surroundings. busting fresh
pyrethrum powder about will either
kill or stupefy the flies so they can
be swept up and burned.
The flies at this season of the year
are sluggish and may be killed with
little difficulty, with the conventional
fiy SWatter.

OF CATTLE
DISEASE RECEIVES
ATTENTION IN MIDWEST

The remarkable success obtained
by the Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture in it's warfare on sterility
and abortion in cattle, is attracting at
tention throughout the United States.
The Bureau of Animal Industry, of the
Pennsylvania Department, employs the
Albrechtsen treatment, which was per-
fected in France, some years since.
According to figures prepared by DR..
T. E. Munce, head of the Bureau, there
were 103 herds of cattle examined for
sterility and abortion in 1919 and in
these herds were 965 animals that re-
quired treatment During the year
there were 1897 treatments admins
tered.
The State Department Of Agricul-
ture is making strong fight to arouse
the farmers of the State to the neces,
sity of providing treatment for these
diseases which are causing enormous
losses each year.
One of the leading drovers' journals
in the midwest, after conducting in
vestigations, has been so impressed
with the results obtained in Pennsyl-
vania that comprehensive article.
dealing with the work in this State, is
being sought.

BEEKEEPERs NEGLECT COLONIES
DURING WINTER MONTHS

Thousands of colonies of honey bees
in Pennsylvania that receive reason
able attention through the greater
part of the year, are allowed to shift
for themselves throughout the winter
under the erroneous impression that
the bees hibernate like other insects.
This condition has been found by the
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture, which keeps in close touch with
the bee keepers of the State, through
its apiary inspection service.
Three things are absolutely essen
tial IL the bees are to be brought
through the winter in prime shape.
They must be provided with an album
dance of stores of good quality, must
have protection from the wind and
cold and must have ample room for
rearing brood at appropriate times.
Stores of good quality consist of
honey well ripened and of sufficient
quantity to supply colony needs until
the spring honey flow. If bees are
wintered out doors at least As pounds
of honey should be allowed for each
colony.
The protection needs vary accord
ing to location, but everywhere in
Pennsylvania hives should be protect
ed without side covers and packing, or
the hives placed in cellars arranged
and constructed for the purpose. The
object is to maintain a consistent hive
temperature of So degrees F., which
brings about a minimum of activity
and consumption of stores by the bees.
For further information, write the

vania Department of Agriculture, liar

POTATO WART CONFINED
TO SMALL AREA IN STATE

AS the result of exhaustive investi-
cations and surveys conducted during
the past summer and fall, the Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture
has definitely established the fact that
the potato wart is prevalent in 781
garden or truck patches and on one
farm.
The total acreage affected is less
than 100 acres and the disease is found
in fifty-three towns and villages of the
State. The fact that the wart is found
on only one farm is due to the fact
that that the foreign grown seed po-
tatoes that brought the wart into the
State were used only by small garden
srs and truckers.
The Bureau of Plant Industry of the
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture, in dealing with the wart problem
has been faced with the task OF pre-.
venting the spread of the disease and
at the same time work no hardship on
the persons tilling land known to be
infected.
The raising of wart immune seed
has practically solved the problem of
enabling the owners of infected land
to still raise profitable crops of po-
tatoes, while the quarantine regula-
lions have effectually prevented the
spread of the disease.
Wart immune potatoes for seed pur-
poses, grown under the direction of
the State authorities, will be tagged,
sealed and distributed to the growers
in the infected areas, for use in grow
ing next seasons crops.

Relief for Trapped
Submarine Grew

A life-boat has been invented to pre-
vent a repetition of submarine acct
dents which have occurred. The
means of escape for the trapped crew
has been devised by Daniel J. Carr,
of Wilmington, Cal.
Carr says he has been a practical
boat builder for many years. His in,
vention which calls for life-boat, or
for several boats, built into the super
structure of the submarine, was pat
ented recently. He has asekd the gov
eminent to allow him the use of an
obsolete submarine so that he may
demonstrate the efficiency of his in
vention.
The Carr lifeboat is mounted in the
superstructure of the submarine. II
is entered from manhole in the TOP
Of the submarine, which can be closed
after the crew is in the lifeboat, SO
that the submarine can be salvaged
after the men have escaped. Another
manhole in the top of the lifeboat
provides for the exit of the crew when
the lifeboat has been detached and has
fioated to the top Of the water.
Carr asserts that the lifeboat in no
way interferes with the seaworthiness
or operation of the submarine; that it
will stand any buffeting in rough
weather that the submarine can stand

Town is Without
a Hotel

The town of Seibo, on the island of
Santo Domingo, notorious for it's BAN
dit tribes, is one of the few commune
ties on the island that has no hotel
accommodations, the unbefriended
stranger finding nothing but miserable
matched huts with nests on three legs
for beds, and ragged old negro for
a servant.
Seibo is the most out-of-the-way, as
tonished at strangers, unaquainted
with the world town of any size that
can be found in the West Indies.
Though a large detachment of United
States Marines camp at its bandit
threatened door, the people show un-
bounded surprise to see American civ
ilians. Groups of almost foppishly
dressed men lounge in the streets, yet
the town itself is little short of filthy.
A curious old church, part OF 1t
built 400 years ago on the top of which
is the Marine wireless station, is the
only building of Importance. From
the top of this church, Eeibo is seen
to be surrounded by low hills, every
where wooded, without hut outside
it's compact mass, described by Harry
A. Franck, in the Century Magazine,
as having ''its skirts drawn up like
those of a nervous old maid in con-
slant dread of mice. "The town also
has the proverbial garrison house that
seems like a fort of the medieval ages.
