CUSTOMERS SECURED
FOR POULTRY SHOWS
Persons at Summer Resorts Buy
Produce in Winter.
City People Have Inspected Producers
Farm and Know Under What Con-
ditions Foodstuffs Are Raised
One Case Cited.

Many producers living near summer
resorts supply produce in the summer
months to the persons at the resorts,
and during the other months of the
year ship produce to these persons
while they are in the city. This, say
marketing specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, is
one of the best methods of obtaining
customers for direct marketing, as the
producer and consumer have some ac-
uuaintance. In most instances the Gus
toners have been at the producers
farm and know under what conditions
the articles are produced.
One man who lives near summer
resort In Indiana is about twelve miles
from the nearest town of any size. he
does not desire to drive to this town to
dispose of his farm produce and is not
satisfied with the prices that the buck
sters pay. Consequently he built up
business of supplying products to re-
sorters in the summer and of shipping
produce by parcel post and express to
these persons at their city homes in
the winter.
The principal products shipped are
butter eggs and dressed poultry. This
producer uses good shipping containers
and packs produce attractively. AS he
is acquainted with his customers, he
renders statements of accounts only
once a month. In this way the matter
Of making payments is simplified for
the customers.
This producer has had no trouble in
establishing his business nor in retain
ing customers. He states that his only
trouble has been in getting enough
high-grade produce to supply all of his
customers.

Gets Power Without Coal.

A large paper mill ut .Vargo, Sweden,
was recently rebuilt on the most inn
proved lines. Formerly 10000 tons of
coal We're consumed annually, and the
problem Of maintaining this supply
was very serious one, but at the
present time no coal whatever is con-
4snmed at the plant. The boilerhouse
contains seven "electric'' boilers, each
of 1900 horsepower, and the current
enters the boilers at pressure Of
&c, GOO volts, without having to be
stepped down. Each Of the boilers is
provided with three electrodes, and the
coupling arrangements are such that
steam generation can be regulated
within 5 per cent. It is stated that
full steam pressure can be raised in
from five to ten minutes after switch.
Ing on the current, and considerable
economy In attendance Is obtained, as
compared with coal firing.

BARlUM POISONOUS TO RATS
Tests Indicate That a 20 Per Cent
Mixture With Food Makes Most
Satisfactory Bait.

A study Of barium carbonate as a
rat poison, made by the United States
Department Of Agriculture, indicates
that 20 per cent mixture with food
makes a satisfactory bait. With this
percentage a rat ordinarily needs to
eat only one-third OR three-eighths Of
a meal of average size to get fatal
dose 1t was found that with this dose
many of the rats poisoned died with
in "a hours, though an occasional rat
was found which survived an even
larger amount, thus Indicating that
100 per cent mortality is not to be ex.
pected in any case.
A summary of results of expert.
ments conducted by various persons
with view to determining the dead
illness of barium to different animals
shows the fallacy of the assumption
that barium is poisonous only to rats.
1t is pointed out that the fatal dose
of barium per pound tends to decrease
relatively as the size of the animal
increases, and that a bait calculated
to be fatal to rats may be assumed to
be more or less dangerous to small
domestic animals also.

PLANET DESTROYED BY HEAT
Possibility That Our Own World May
Meet the Same Fate Through the
Rays of the Sun.

Worlds, with probably millions of
human beings like ourselves, have
been destroyed and turned into glow
ing gas by stupendous contagration
In the heavens.
The sun to which these worlds be-
longed must have rushed into a zone
of heated gas and have had its atmos-
phere set on fire. g
1t was toward the end CT last sum-
mer that the vast outbreak was first
seen. but it was only lately that as
tronomers realized its awful signiti-
canoe. Now it is known that the star
which caught fire had it's heat in
creased by no less an amount than five
hundred thousand times in the course
of a few days.
Can anyone. imagine our own sun
.tHfng the sky with its blaze and send
inc forth a heat hundreds of thou
sands of times greater than it does at
present.
Humanity would be withered as Il
leaf dropped into white-hot furnace
end the earth itself would melt witt
fervent heat.
Yet there are those who predict
such a fate as that for our planet.

Pittsburahers VIII Bore.

After having tried, for number
of years, to get over and. around the
hills surrounding their city, the resi-
dents Of Pittsburgh have decided to
strike at the heart of the difficulty
and go through them. Accordingly
tunneling operations have been got
ten under way which, when COM
p}eted, will result in a double-tube
bore that will accommodate pedes-
trjan, street car and yehicular
traffic, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The estimated cost of the
undertaking is between 100000 and
100000, and it is expected that two
years will be required for It's COM
pletioR. It establishes no precedent,
as another bore, made several years
ago, has given satisfactory service, al
though reserved for the use of street
cars only.

WANT VIEW OF WEALTHY

The biggest attraction in New York

from the hinterland who crowd Fifth

IN such spectacles as the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the great railroad ter
tninal stations, the Woolworth build

So say the men that whirl these
sightseers over and across New York
by day and by night.
Sightseeing buses ply the financial
district, 1t is true. hut the conductors
arc as ignorant of who's who down
around Wall street as their passen-
gers from Oshkosh, Alfalfa Center or
Deer Trail, but Wall street is the de-
mand of the passengers, nevertheless,
and when the sightseeing buses reach
Wall street they invariably discharge
at least SO per cent of their cargo,
which goes abroad to see the sights
for itself.
The sight of a Vanderbilt or an As
tor would repay most of these sight.

WOULD FERTlLlZE THE AIR
Scientist Sees immense Possibilities
in Scheme Which He Claims Is
Quite Feasible.

Recently men have undertaken to
mine nitrates, or some OF the mate
rial for nitrates, from the air. There
is nitrogen enough in the air, no doubt,
to blow civilization off the earth
we're that nitrogen concocted into ex-
plosiyes.
Now comes hopeful German sci
enlist named Riedel. who believes
that the air itself may be fertillzed
to such an extent that plants Will
bound forth from their seeds like ten
mis- balls. He would fill the air where
rlunts are imbedded with carbon dl-
oxide (carbonic acid gas). Plants
love this gas as freSh-air crank loves
the out of doors. They use it ambl-
tiously but could use more. Man
expels it with his breath. Plants take
It I'D and eXpel oxygen, which man
can use. Thus men and plants are
mutually helpful. But more carbon
dioxide is always good thing for the
vegetable world, and Doctor Riedel
proposes to supply more.
He would get his supplies from the
blast furnaces, whose great lungs eN-
pei this gas. An industry which uses
1000 tons of coke per day eNpels 30
100000 meters of gas. of which about
20 per cent is car'}Ha dioNide. Doe
tor Riedel has tried fertiizing the air
in this way, and his happy plants have
G0uriShed amazingly.
