MOTOR TRUCK MAKES
PACKING HOUSES GROW

at is due to the successful opera
ton of the motor truck as livestock
carrier that small packing centers IRE
being established in different parts OF
the country" says w. l.. Kissel. soc .
rotary and treasurer Of the Kisscl
Motor Car Company.
packing centcrs shorten the haul
to market as the products do MT
have to be hauled to distributing cen
ters before being sent out to the rltt-
mate market. This in turn has an
important bearing on keeping the
cost of meat down to a minimum
The livestock grower instead Of load
ing stock in cattle cars to ship to the
different centers now hauls them 10
the nearest packing center in his mo
tor truck, saving time and expense
as well as delivering cattle and hogs
in the same condition they left the
farm.
THE consumers in the vicinities OF
these packing centers are able to ge;
fresh meat at prices lower than II
the meat had come a great distance
Thus il can be seen that the benefits
of the motor truck are not just those
that are directly attributed to 1t. bit
are benefits that rebound in great
err area than we realize"

ACTION ON
ALLIED LOAN BILL
House Committee Awaits Con-
ference With Treasury Official
Before Oeferring interest.

Special legislation by Congress ask
ed by the Treasury Department au-
thorizing the Treasury TO refund de-
lsyed interest payments on foreign
loans and to enter into arrangements
with foreign government debtors Tor
psymests of interest has been held
up by the House ways and Means
Committee.
Assistant Secretary OF the Treas
ury Norman T.. Davis, who has been
handling the foreign loans, Is Ill ana
unable at this time TO continue his
conferences on the subject with the
committee. Until he IL able 10 give
the committee some additional infor-
nation desired no further considera-
ton will be given the matter by the
committee.
Some opposition Is developing
among House Republican leaders to
any further legislation on the sub
ject. Ii was stated both by former
Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass and by the present Secretary,
Mr.. Houston, that under existing law
the present law authorizes the Treas.
ury officlal TO make the microscopy
ments arrangements with the foreign
governments ss outlined in a letter
sent by Secretary Houston to thu
Ways and Means Committee.
Secretary Houston was more inter-
ested apparently in preventing op-
posing legislation than in securing
new authorization. There is little
disposition to interfere with the plans
OF the Treasury officials. and the ar
yument is being advanced that they
be permitted to go ahead with their
financial adjustments under the pres
ent law.

KEEPING CATTLE AND SWINE
1t Remains to Be Determined What Are Most Common and Best
 Paying Propositions.

The keeping of cattle and of swine appear to be almost inseparable opera tons. This fact is being brought out in the returns of the Better Sires- Better Stock" crusade of the agricul- tural colleges, the United States de pertinent of agriculture and co-operat- ing agencies. This general practice has long been known, but much more definite information Is being gathered, and the purpose is to extend 1t to such an extent as to determine the relation ships among all meat animals.
 If nearly every man who keeps cat tie also keeps hogs. and if nearly every man who keeps hogs also keeps cattle. the inevitable conclusion is that the combination pays, especially when purebred sires are used. But 1t re. mains to be determined what are the most common and the best-paying pro portions. The same thing applies also to combinations of cattle and sheep, or swine and sheep, or cattle and sheep and swine. One benefit of the work will be that it will enable the man of small personal experience to avail himself of the wide experience of 8 great number of men in working out the combinations of meat animals that he will carry on his farm.

BRONCHITIS IN LITTLE PIGS
Not Much Can Be Done in Way Of Treatment-Damp, Cold Pens Are
 Cause of Trouble.

Bronchitis most commonly occurs in young pigs. Matured hogs are seldom troubled with 1t. If it attacks very young pigs 1t often proves fatal, but pigs two or three months old will gen. erally survive, though their growth may be- seriously interfered with. The disease is accompanied by distress ing cough, which usually disappears with the advent of warm weather and outdoor exercise. Little can be done in the way of treatment Dry pens free from drafts, nourishing feed and as much exercise as possible are the principal points to be observed. Damp, cold pens are the most common cause of this trouble.

OLD MYSTIC RITE TEMPLE
VestIbuIe Uncovered at Rome Scene of Historic Event That Was De-
 scrIbed by Taeltus.

A religious discovery, but Of c pagan kind, was made some time ago under the railway cp,bankment a few hundred yards outside the Porta Mag giore, Rome. Italy. It consists of a vestibule elaborately decorated with mytholOglcal subjects, such as Jason taking the Golden Fleece, the punish ment of Marsyas by Apollo. the story of the Danaids, the liberation of Aeson and a troop of Moenads riding on pan thers. It is cOnjectured that this yes tibule was a place where. in the early decades of the first century of our era, mystic rites were celebrated. In- deed, it is supposed that this was the exact locality of an historical event, described by Tacitus in the twelfth book of his Annals as having hap pened in B A. D., during the raign of Claudius. The historian relates how Agrippina, mother of the future Emperor Nero, coveted the gardens of T. Statilius Taurus, who had been consul a few years earlier and gov ernor of Africa, and how she im- provised an accusation against him through a certain TarQuitius Priscus of practicing illegal mystic rites. Statilius Taurus anticipated his trial and now, nearly 19 centuries later an accidental landslip on the railway has led to the elucidat1on Of this for nofeQn enisode Of Roman hiDtoey.

sAeAclTY SHOWN BY BEARS
Observers Have Seen and Noted h. stances of Reasoning That Are
 Little Short of Human.

The grizzly bear, says Mir. Enos A. Mills. is superior in mental power to the horse, the dog and even the gray wolf, and in his book, "The Grizzly" !" he offers convincing evidence of his statement. A grizzly cub in Yellow stone park, he says, once found a ham skin-a prized delicacy. Just as the little fellow was lifting It to his mouth a big bear appeared. The cub instant ly dropped the ham skin, sat down on 1t and pretended to be greatly inter- ested in watching something in the edge of the woods.
 Another young grizzly in the Yellow stone one doy found tin can that was open at one end and partly filled with fish. He raised 1t in his forepaws and peeped in. then deliberately turned the can upside down and shook it. NOth- ing came out. He shook again, but still nothing came out. He then placed the can on the ground, open end down, and hammered the bottom of it with a stone until the fish dropped out.

He put 1t in the water again. and while 1t soaked gave his attention to something else. When the black bear was not looking, the grizzly, standing on the farther edge of the pool, stirred the water with forepaw and started the hard-tack toward him on the waves. The instant the first wave touched the black bear he looked round, grabbed the precious hard-tack, which was rapidly floating away. and. pushing 1t to the bottom of the pool, put one hind foot upon it.

seerIOn between Syracuse ana Rocnes- ter Is the very heart of the American drumlins.
 Most American mountains and hills were formed by violent disturbances of the earth's surface, and their rude origin is reflected in their ruggedness. But the drumIins were built by the great ice sheet which once covered all of North America. The materials of which they are made were pushed to- gether slowly by the crawling glaciers. nodded and tamped and smOothed by the great ice fingers as a child makes mud pies.
 The drumlins look as though they had been designed by some great intel ligence with a sense of beauty, for they rise in smooth. gentle curves. They are remarkably uniform in height, usually little less than POO feet, and so smooth and lenient are their slopes that many of them are cul- tivated to their summits. Some Of them are as round as half an apple, and others are long welts or rolls.
 Scattered among the hills are a number of small lakes and ponds, clear and pretty, and there Is good fishing in many of them. The drumlins are g favorite playground of the people in Syracuse, Rochester and other nearby towns, but they are little known be- yond the counties in which they lie.

rhe Earth,a crust.

The most important scientific in7es
 tigation of the last year in any coun- try has probably been the attempt to measure the earth's crust. We know very little about the shell on which we live. Scientists have been studying the problem in Hawaii, Tuscany and in Salvador, where the opportunities for investigation are especially favorable. Much data new to science has been collected concerning the shell, it's com position and probable age. Still other tests have been made in New South Wales, where great reservoir coneen- trates an immense weight of water on a limited area, and instruments have been devised to measure the movement of the earth's crust under this weight. New light has thus been thrown on the action of volcanoes.-Boys' Lifa-
