WANTS MANUFACTURE OF
COATED CHERRIES STOPPED

Confectionery manufacturers in
Pennsylvania have been warned by
the Bureau of Foods, Pennsylvania

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 diexide, 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 cut that it would be decidedly
to the interest Of the cenfectioner to
stop manufacturing chocolate coated
cherries and glazed fruits rater than
to face prosecution and possibly heavy
fines. .4t4 ,~sis

SHOW PROPER METHODS
or sHoEiNc HORSES

There are approximately $4,000
horses on the farms Of Pennsylvania
according to the figures of the Penn
sylyania Department Of Agriculture
and it is estimated that the improper
shoeing Of fair percentage Of the
horses leads to a heavy loss to the
farmers each year, both in the eff.
cheney of the farm animal and through
the payment of veterinary fees.
AS an educational measure, to show
the farmers Of the State the proper
and improper methods of shoeina
horses and to instruct them in the
proper methods Of caring for the
horses feet, the Bureau Of Animal In
dustry, Pennsylvania Department Of
Agriculture has prepared an exhibit
of 20 hoofs which have been mounted
and shod by an expert. Tie proper
and improper methods are shown
while there are hooffs that are de
formed by disease that are properly
treated and shod.
The exhibit, the first that has ever
been prepared in the State, is now
being shown at various county fairs
and throughout the winter will be
shown at farmers meetings about the
State.

FIND MARKET
REPORTER VALUABLE

A saving of $1,000 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. cetton, 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 representatives at large mar
ket centers, and through the co-opera
alton Of some 474 railroads whose
superintendent make daily reports to
the bureau as to carload lots of Ger:
tain kinds of produce loading and in
transit.

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. It 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
criminal especially 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
1t is believed to be actually less by
one-half than it was a few years ago.

Calling Back Birds

In the devastated areas Of Belgium
and northern France the birds as we'll
as the human inhabitants lost their
homes. Their nests and meeting
places were destroyed.
Now they are being invited back;
for the matter is not merely one OF
sentiment, inasmuch as the birds are
needed to eat the bugs that devour
the formers crops.
With this object in view, areas of
woodland are being set aside and
made as attractive as possible to
feathered creatures. 1t is expected
that by such means colonies of birds
will soon be established, and that,
with proper protection, they will null
tiply and become as numerous as ever
before long.

HOG CHOLERA LESS PREVALENT

Reports received by the Bureau of
Animal Industry, Pennsylvania Depart
ment Of Agriculture, indicate that hog
cholera is less prevalent in the State
than for 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.
II the public will continue to extend
this liberal support to this important
work, the result is assured; namely,
Eradication of hog cholera from Penn
sylyania, and not only more and
cheaper pork for the public to eat, but
the saving Of over a. million dollars
annually.

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 cup of water.
Fluid extract of grin6elia, diluted with
4 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.
