The industry of stock growing is
face to face with a serious problem

ment of Agriculture has declared that
dog owners wishing to secure licenses
can make application to the county
treasurer through the local justices of
the peace who will forward the appli-
cations and license fees to the county
treasurer who will send the licenses
direct to the dog owners.
Police officers throughout the entire
State are now being requested to see
that the provisions Of the dog law are
rigidly enforced and the special agents
of the Department of Agriculture will
at once start the work of rounding
up the delinquents.
Last year more than two thousand
prosecutions were ordered against dog
owners who failed to secure licenses,
or who permitted their dogs to run at
large in violation of the law, and in
every case the defendant was compel

Candle the Best
Light for Miners

1t seems that the ideal mine lamp
has not been devised. Incredible as it
may seem, the source of light which
gives the highest candle power at the
coal face is the tallow candle. By
carefully spreading out the wick two
candle-powers may be obtained. In
mines where there is danger of fire
damp open lights cannot be used. The
modern oil safety-lamp rarely gives
more than one-half candle-power, and
the modern electric lamp in use gives
about one candle-power The intro
duction of electric lamps has already
effected certain improvement in the
conditions in many mines, but it's light
is still insufficient, and any possible
improvement is necessarily limited by
the weight of the battery.

Benefits of Medical
Medical Supervision

Speaking of the benefits of indust-
trial medicine before the members of
the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce,
DR.. C. P. McCord, of the medical de-
partment of the University OF Cincin-
natl, said that there was on an aver
age 300 people a day absent from
work among the $4,000 working peo-
pie in Cincinnati. Much Of this alb
sence could be cut down with proper
medical supervision. The aim of medi-
cal inspection was to relieve workers
of suffering from diseases which other
wise would not be attended to, there
by giving them better health. About
5 per cent Of the large employers of
Cincinnati had proper medical depart
ments connected with their factories.
He advised small factories and shops
to form groups so that the work could
be carried on economically.

Waterproof Shoes

The United States Bureau of Chem
istry has workd out method by which
anybody can make his shoes water
proof unless they have holes in them.
The chief reason why shoes ordinar-
lily are not awterproof is that the
seams admit moisture. Thus the feet
get damp and the dearer is liable to
catch cold.
An occasional use of castor oil on
shoe uppers will help to make them
waterproof, but too much should not
be used lest it interfere with the
Shine" Much better, especially for
use in winter, is a mixture Of twelve
ounces of tallow and four ounces of
cod oil. Melted together by moder-
ate heat, the stuff should be applied
warm and thoroughly to the edge of
the sole and the welt. where footgear
is most liable to leak.
The sole can be best waterproofed
by letting the shoe stand for fifteen
minutes in a shallow pan containing
enough of the grease to cover the sole.
Thus protected, one need not wear
overshoes which, while they keep
water out, also keep preparation in.
Moreover, they are cold in winter and
hot in summer.

Improved Con-
StructiOn of TurbO-
Generators

One pound of material nthe pres
ent 5000-kw, turbo sets does the work
required of five pounds in the first
5000-kw set built in this country, &C
cording to General Electric Review.
Stator construction has reduced itself
to the simplest form as the require
ments of rigidity, light, weight and
fiexibility are best fulfilled by such a
design. However, high speeds and in
creased capacities have introduced
real difficulties in the construction Of
rooters. The centrifugal stresses have
necessitated the use of a solid forged
rotor, and in the largest machines it
has been desirable to use three
piece rotor because of the great length
and weight of the one-piece forging.
Ventilation, which is of prone impor-
lance in the modern turbo-generator,
is also receiving careful attention on
the part of engineers and designers.

A Miniature
Automobile

A serviceable automobile of such
diminutive proportions that it slips
into garage not much larger than a
dog house, is being introduced in Ger
many, with great success because OF
it's efficiency and economy. Some of
these cars are made with gasoline en-
CINE, while others derive their power
from storage batteries. They have a
wheel base of little more than 81
inches and a tread of "a inches. These
carry but one passenger, but trailer
is made for them which permits the
carrying of another passenger. The
current is furnished by two 24-volt
lead-plate batteries of cells each To-
Gated in the forward part of the car.
These require 2 IL kilowatt hours for
full charge which will drive the car
about thirty-five miles in Berlin, where
the streets are we'll paved and level.
The motor is of one and one-half-
horsepower and the car has speed
Of thirteen miles an hour.

THE INSPECTION
OF FERTILIZERS

The results of the analyses Of sam
pies, representing 676 registered
brands of fertilizers sold during the
Spring of 1920 made by the Bureau of
Chemistry, Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture, show much room for
improvement in affixing correct guar
antees to sacks or attached cards.
About one-third of the samples analy-
zed were found to contain less nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and potash than
claimed.
While many of these deficiencies
were slight there was a large proper
ton of them where considerably less
plant food than guaranteed was found,
and in the samples of mixed fertilizers
the deficiencies amounted to as much
as 1.59 per cent less nitrogen, 4.79 per
cent less available phosphoric acid
and 2.12 per cent less water soluble
potash than guaranteed.
1t was also found that three brands
of mixed goods which included the
word Bone" as part of the brand
name did not have all the phosphoric
acid which they contained in the form
or derived entirely from animal bone,
as required, but which was supplied
by phosphate rock.
The unit value of phosphoric acid in
animal bone is conceded to have a
higher commercial value than that in
phosphate rock as well as having a
greatr value when applied or used for
certain crops or purposes. In such
cases, therefore, where the phosphoric
acid was not derived from animal bone,
as would be expected by the brand
name, the farmers who purchased the
same were not getting what they paid
for. A study of microscopical exami-
nation of such brands of fertilizers is
being made by the Bureau of Chemis-
try on the samples of fertilizers Of
tanned during the Fall Inspection and
additional violations of the law in this
respect will result in prosecutions.

sized him up silently for couple OF
minutes and then demanded his name.

Don't Look
for Thorns

Think fthis If you are ever tempt
ed to discourage and sadden others:
Don't make the road any harder than
it really is by pointing out all the
thorns that have lain or may lie along
the way.
Just because you like to find out all
the shadows in the path and walk in
them yourself, don try to make other
people do the same.
Most of us do far better work, be-
sides being much happier, if we are
given a word of encouragement now
and again.
And when you come to think of it,
few encouraging words cost moth
ing, and are just as easy to say as the
discouraging words that come so read
lily to our lips.
Make up your mind to look for the
bright side of things always, and you
will be surprised to find what differ
ence it will make, not only to yourself,
but to the other people.
And, anyway, nobody likes the per-
son who persists in acting as "wet
blanket" so if you have got into this
habit, get out of it as quickly as pos
sible, and start to cheer and encourage
people instead.

Children Influenced
by Home Environ
ment

The routine duties of the wife and
mother are the same in practically all
homes. Food has to be purchased and
prepared; the house has to be kept
clean and in order; there is shopping
to be done. also sewing, mending and
Washing big item in families with
young children-and there are the chill
dren.
Very little time or strength to spend
other than in attention to the chill
dren's actual physical care and re-
quirements; and yet by a little wise
thinking and arranging she can start
many plays and occupations which
will not only give the children pleas
ure and teach them how to do things
but in a quieter, easier and more JOY
GUS task for herself.
One of the most helpful factors in
the harmonious development OF mo-
Their and child life is right attitude
of mind. 1t is, of course, most deslr-
able that it be one of contentment and
peace, but too often mothers in add1-
tion to the work of housekeeping and
rearing of children are obliged to con-
tend with problems of sickness and
family disagreements. However, II
she can meet such situations with in
telligence, courage and self-control,
she will create a home atmosphere
which will be measureless in its in
fiuence.

PENNSYLVANlA'S AGRICULTURE
SUFFERED A DEPRECIATION

Harrisburg, Pa.-Pennsylvania's ag-
riculture suffered depreciation of al
most one million dollars in 1920, as a
result of the depreciation in the value
of farm crops and live stock, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Fred Rasmussen
announced last week. The secretary's
statement is based on the figures COM
piled by the Bureau of Statistics of the
Department, the information being Sc
cured from the 800 crop reporters of
the Department scattered through
ever section of the State.
The value of the farm crops, due in
part to reduced acreage, but in a
graeter measure to the heavy drop in
the price of farm stuffs, was $780,
1872, while the live stock on the
farms of the State on January 1, 1921
was $43,,99S,736.75, a total shrinkage
of $97,S29, 451.S7.
In other words, the averag farmer
in the State lost $43420 during 1920
as result of the decline in the value
Of his crops and live stock over the
preceding year and as result of eco
nomic conditions forcing him to re-
duce his acreage and the amount of
live stock on his farm.
The dairy industry, the backbone of
Pennsylvania's agriculture, was hard
hit in 1920. One year ago, according
to the secretary's statement, the aver
age dairy COW in Pennsylvania was
worth $9675 while today, the same
COW is worth only $3.50. In other
words, the dairy industry of Pennsyl-
vania suffered depreciation of $780,
SCOTIA through the shrinkage in the
value of the dairy cows and a three
per cent reduction in the number of
dairy cows maintained on the farms.
The sheep breeders of the State also
suffered a severe blow. A year ago
the average sheep in this State was
worth $10.25 while on January 1, 1921
the same sheep was worth only $3.50,
a depreciation of 1915 per head, or a
total loss for the State of almost $4,-
100000.
The value of the average farm hog
in the State declined from 5000 at
the beginning of last year, to $16.15
at the beginning of the present year.
The value of farm horses also dropped
during the year from Sill to $102.
Grouping all classes of farm animals,
the farmers of the State suffered
shrinkage in value of just 20 per cent,
as the result of the postwar readjust-
ment.

STATES HAY CROP WORTH
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS

counties in the State in the value of
it's hay crop, the value of which was
$4,107,744, while Berks County came
second and Washington County third
The average price per ton received
by the farmers Off their hay was
$24.S3. Luzerne County leads the
State in the quantity of hay produced

of ITO ton. The total value of the
States hay crop amounted to $780,

The Ideal Guest

1t has been said that women may
be divided into two classes, that of
the born hostess" and that of the
"born guest" and that neither fits into
the others role with any degree of sue
cess! There is one charming woman
who is known among her friends as
81. g." which mysterious appelation
stands for Ideal Guest!" She ex-
plains her unique title by saying: ut
is so silly! Any one can be perfect
guest if she only tries. All you have
to do is tobepleased with your enter
tainment, and try to help your hostess
make things agreeable for the others.
Yes, do great deal, and make it an
inviolable rule never to repeat in one
house what l have seen or heard in
another"
The ideal guest" for instance,
makes the care of heB room as easy for
the maid as possible. When she leaves
it in the morning the bed is stripped
and the mattress turned to air. When
she leaves it for dinner or supper in
the evening, all her own belongings
are carefully put away in closet or
drawers, thus making no picking up"
after network which is wearing to
the maid and which takes much time.

The Ruling Habit

In Boston they they tell this story
of a certain absent-minded professor:
One evening he appeared in the
drawing room ready to escort his wife
to the theatre.
"Dearie," said she, II am not at all
pleased with that tie you are wearing.
Please go upstairs and change to a
black one"
Very obediently the professor went
up to do as directed. After many
minutes of impatient waiting the wife
followed. His tie removed, the pro-
lessor had absent-mindedly continued
the undressing process, and as his
spouse entered he climed placidly into
bed.

What Regina Thought

Reginald's first novel had just been
published. Meeting Regina, friend
of long standing, he said, after some
preliminary sparring:
Regina, value your opinion highly
especially since l know it is always a
truthful one. Now, want you to tell
me frankly and candidly just what you
think of my new story"
Regina was silent for moment.
Then she said:
mo, no, don't ask me. Reginald.
Let us remain friends.

feathers Off an ostrich.
