EFFORTS TO HREAT" DOG LAW
BROUGHT TO LIGHT

A new method of endeavoring to
beat Sthe 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 SIS 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
iactuallg maintaining dog kennels.

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 tbs
matter Of sack-flling on the part of
manufacturers. Recently the Bureau
of Chemistry issued a 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.

PREPARE BULLETIN ON
LIVESTOCK PARASITES

A recent survey conducted by the
Bureau of Animal Industry, Pennsyl-
vania Department Of Agriculture, for
the purpose of obtaining first-hand in
formation respecting parasites affect
ing our farm animals, disclosed the
fact that many animals are infested.
AS result Of this infestation the
farmers of the State have sustained
enormous losses and the owners Of
the afflicted animals, in most cases
have net been familiar with the cor.
receive and preventive measures
necessary to save the animals.
The Bureau has prepared an extern
sive bulletin on the parasites Of cattle,
sheep, swine and poultry. The bulletin
treats with the various kinds Of para
sites, tells hew the farmer may de-
tect their presence and gives the
commener remedies in all cases where
the owner is capable of administering
treatment.
The bulletin is now in the hands OF
the printer and will be ready for gem
eral distribution within short time.

LARGE OAKS FROM
LITTLE AcoRNs GROW

ut was little object lesson in
cooperative marketing" is the modest
statement Of Tennessee woman
whose activities have produced pros
porous dairying community.
In 1909 fourteen women were or.
ganized in Pulaski, Tenn, to demon
strate the theory of cooperative eff.
fort. Butter and eggs from the rela-
lively few cows and fowls of the com.
munity were assembled and marketed
The quality of the products, due to
the cake taken in selection and prep.
|aration, was such that they command.
ed the highest prevailing prices. The
women's husbands began to take no
tice and soon interested themselves
in dairy cows. This led to the intro.
duction Of Jerseys, separators, silos,
milking machines, and the shipping
of whole milk and cream.
Similar results are being secured
in many sections of the country. state
experts of the Bureau of Markets,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The movement frequently starts
with small group of farmers, farm
ers' wives, or boys and girls, who
quickly demonstrate the advantage of

such organizations and the admins

are glad to render every assistance

Advises Wider
Use OF AlSike


The success of alsike clover as a
cover crop last winter in certain sec,
lions of New Jersey leads crop special
SITS 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 a 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
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.
