SOCIALISTS MAY GO
TO CRIMINAL COURT

Albany, N. Y, Apr. 2.-Whether
the five ousted Socialist assemblymen
will be called upon to face criminal
court proceedings and whether the
Socialist party will be prosecuted on
charges of conspiracy hangs upon a
conference to take place in Albany
next week.
While official verification of this
could not be obtained today, 1t was
recalled that in one of the briefs fill
ed with the judiciary committee coun-
sci for the committee asserted that
the Socialists and Socialist party were
"amenable under the terms of the

The Horse and the Motor.

Even though it may be true that
the motor-driven vehicle has begun
to put the farm horse ION the run"
there is no evidence that he has de-
veloped much speed, and his total
value still compares favorably with
other classes of farm animals. On
January 1, 1920, the Bureau of Crop
Estimates of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture estimated
the total value of horses on farms il
this country at $1,993,O0O,000, or
Just a little below the value of milk
cows, which was s@,022,0OO,OOO.

having joined the Better sires-Bet-

stock improvement with a will. AL
ready hundreds of farmers have
pledged themselves to use only pure
bred sires. Feeding demonstrations
are to be numerous during the COM
ing months and whole counties are
planning to put on campaigns, the
object of which is to secure more
purebred stock. 1t is expected that
within the next few months several
hundred head of purebred sires, and
also dams, will be brought into the
State as part of the general program
to raise the livestock standard. Sew
eral counties undoubtedly will be able
to show list of purebred sires with

GENERAL BUSINESS

New York, April 2.-Dun's tomor-

Seasonal characteristics appear in
retail distribution, which develops
increased animation as spring adj

After several years of rising prices,

fewer failures than in any similar

KIT DALTON, LAST OF
JAMES GANG DIES

Memphis, April 9.-Kit Dalton, the
last survivor of the famous Jesse
James band and the Quantrell gueril-
las no longer will be seen on the
streets of Memphis clad in the uni
form of a Confederate officer. He
died today with his boots off, penni-
less, and at the age of rs in a board
ing house here. Broken health ac-
complished what federal officers were
unable to do during his seventeen
years of outlawry.
The story of Dalton's picturesque
life is more thrilling than any work
of fiction depicting bold robberies.
He started his role as bandit under
the leadership of the James boys
taking part in the hold up of thirty
six trains, eight stage coaches and
the robbery of twenty-five banks. He
piled the same means to a livelihood
with the Quantrell guerillas and the
Bass gang Of Texas.
Dalton fOrsook banditry to become
a gambler in Memphis when the fed
eral government granted amnesty to
all Civil War raiders. Later he re-
formed and became an evangelist.

How Much Must An Acre Yield To
BE Profitable?

Is the per acre yield of your farm
sufficiently high to make satisfacto-
nv returns on the capital and labor
expended in producing crops on it?
This is one of the 16 questions
that the United States Department of
Agriculture urges every farmer to
answer for himself in determining
whether. or not he is managing his
farm efficiently. In a number of
farm management studies in the
South, on small farms averaging 20
acres of crops, the department found
under pre-war conditions that an
erage yield of 355 pounds of cotton
an acre is required to make an aver
age farm income barely sufficient to
pay a fair rental for the use of the
land and give the operator ordinary
wages for his labor and management.
Not until the group of farms with an
average of 121 cropped acres was
reached did an average yield of less
than 215 pounds of cotton an acre
make an average farm income suffi-
cient for rent and the farmers wages
The influence of yield on cost of pro-
duction was just as marked with corn
and other crops as with cotton.
Full details as to this and the 9th
err 5 points involved in efficient farm
management are embodied in United
States Department of Agriculture Cir
cular SO, Testing Farms in the
South for Efficiency in Management

Serious Animal and Human Disease
Carried BY Dogs.

Serious Animal and human Diseases
Carried BY Dogs.
Many diseases of man and domestic
animals are carried by dogs. Every
body. of course, knows that the dog
Is responsible for rabies but 1t is not
SO generally known that the dog Is
equally responsible for other fatal
diseases. Among them may be men
toned hydatid and gid in man ana
stock, tapeworm in man and especial
" in children, tongue worm in man
and stock, measles" in sheep and
cvsticercosis of the liver in stock.
Some of these parasites depend so alb
so,utelv on dogs as carriers that
they would become extinct II dogs
were not available as hosts. Dogs
probably play a part, also, IN the
snread of disease due to fungi, such
as ringworm and favus, and they GER
tainly play a part in the spread OF
diseases that may be carried by fleas'
The United States Department OF
Agriculture, while recognizing the
dog as a useful domestic animal, in
sists that care must be taken to mini
mize the danger of diseases spread
nv them. In a general way, say the
specialists of the department, there
are three kinds of dogs-the owner
less dog. the other persons dog and
your own dog.
The stray dog, which recognizes
no owner, they say, does not fit into
the modern scheme of civilization and
must be eliminated. A dog that is
allowed by the owner to wander at
large will have substantially the same
habits of life, the same sort of food.
and be practically as dangerous as
the ownerless dog. You have the
right to insist, they point out, that
such dogs keep off your premises.
Your own dog should be handled
in such a way as best to further the
welfare of the dog and the commune
ty. He should be kept in restraint
and not allowed the full freedom of
the house or even of the outside
premises. He should not be allowed
to be familiar with people, and es-
pecially with children. The dog
should be kept free from external
parasites by frequent baths and, if
necessary, other appropriate mea-
sures, and should be freed from in
ternal parasites by suitable measures
and kept free by adequate attention
to his food. He should only be al
lowed to leave the yard or the ken
nels in company with some person,
and wherever conditions call for it
should be kept in leash. When away
from home the dog should be muz-
zled with a reliable metal muzzle, not
with strap muzzle that would be
cruel to the dog if tight enough to be
effective and which is usually so
loose as merely to give a false sense
of security, since it permits the dog
to bite.

Hens Feed Affects Flavor And Color
OF Egg YOlks.

In extreme cases the flavor and
odor of the feed have been impaired
TO the egg. Onions have been fed
in sufficient quantity to bring about
this effect. Those who desire to
market a first-class article should
not give feeds of high and objection
able flavor to their flocks.
In no case should tainted feed be
allowed to enter the ration. Feed
also has an influence on the color of
the yolk. Corn fed exclusively will
give a deep yellow or highly colored
yolk, while wheat fed alone will pro-
duce a much lighter yolk A fairly
high colored yolk is usually preferred
and can usually be obtained by feed
ing a moderate amount of corn.
Plenty of green feed also enriches
the color of the yolk.
