Surgeons agree that in cases OF
cuts, burns, bruises and wounds, the
first treatment is most important.
When an efficient antiseptic is ep-
piled promptly, there is no danger of
infection and the wound begins to
heal at once. For use on man or
beast, Borozone is the ideal antisep-
tic and healing agent. Buy it now

.. 900 Kentucky Farmers Keep Books
On Business.


Lexington KY, April S.--Farm
bookkeeping is on the increase in
Kentucky this year, more than 1000
farmers already having adopted the
practice of keeping books on their
farm business in record books com
piled by farm management specialists
of the College of Agriculture, it is re-
ported
Further steps to help farmers put
their business on a better basis have
been taken in the form of a num-
Der OF farm management demonstra-
lions held in different sections of the
state by c. U. Jet. farm manageme Mt
extension specialist of the college.
More than 500 Of these demonstra-
tions have been held to show farmers
to take an inventory of their
farm equipment and start the re-
cords, II is said.
Some of the leading counties OF
the state in the number Of farm re-
cords that have been started are La
rue. Ohio, Kenton, Galloway, Daviess,
and Union. The number of record
keepers in these counties range from
so to 20.

The appearance of black lambs in
a flock made up entirely of white
sheep has been for ages, and is still,
a cause for wonder and the basis of
superstitions. But the study of the
laws of breeding and heredity has ex-
planned the reasons for the sporadic
appearance of these off-color speci-
mems. In a letter to a farmer who
reported 25 black lambs, from a flock
of 175 purbred Shropshire ewes all
white and who considered certain
feeds the cause, the United States
Department of Agriculture gives a
clear statement of the principles in
volved.
Feeding and management of sheep,
says DR.. Sewall Wright, specialist in
animal genetics, have nothing to do
with the appearance of black lambs.
The black color is hereditary even
though il may be transmitted by or
binary white sheep. The black color
in such a case is what is called a re-
cessive character. White sheep which
transmit this character at all trans
init black in so per cent Of their re-
productive cells iowa in the case of
ewes and spermatozoa in the case
of rams) and white in the remaining
so per cent Thus, such white sheep
mated with blacks (Which can only
transmit black produce so per cent
black lambs and so per cent white.
All of these white lambs can trans
NIT black.
White sheep which transmit only
white. mated with blacks, produce
only white lambs, but all of these
lambs can transmit black. When
both eve and ram are white, but both
transmit black, about 20 per cent OF
the lambs are black. SO per cent are
white. which transmit black, while
the remaining % per cent are true
breeding whites. In this case it is an
even CllduCC lnaI q 6ifCh w "Aa@
transmit black and an even chance
that il will be fortified by a male
cell which transmits black, making
one chance in four that both transmit
black, which is necessary for the pro-
duction of black lamb.
With 25 black lambs appearing in
the flock, 1t is indicated that about
100 Of the It's ewes transmit black,
assuming that all Of the rams used
transmit 1t. II not all the rams
transmit this color, then 1t is proba-
BILE that an even larger number Of
ewes transmit it.

30 Per Cent OF Chicks Raised on Sta
ton Farm.

Lexington, Ky, April 12-Preven-
tion OF chicks diseases along with re-
commended methods of feeding and
management make 1t possible to
raise 80 out of every 100 chicks that
are Matched on the Kentucky Agri-
cultural Experiment Station farm, 1t
is said. On some farms in the State,
not more than one-half the chicks
that hatch are raised while in several
cases, the loss of all chicks has been
reported, the station poultrymen say,
A large percentage of the heaviest
losses is due to some of the common
chick ailments which could have been
prevented, according to ]. r. Smyth'
extension poultryman.
"The most common of these is
white diarrhea which is found in two
forms. Bacillary white diarrhea,
which is contagious and is transmit
ted from hen to chick thru the egg, Is
not common in Kentucky. Most cases
of this disease found in the state are
the common white diarrhea caused
by chilling, overheating the chicks,
feeding them too soon or overfeed-
ing them. Buttermilk or sour skim
milk will aid in curing and controll-
ing this trouble.
"Gapes also is responsible Tor
many chick losses, this trouble being
caused by grape worms getting in the
windpipe. These worms live in the
ground and come up on the grass
blades when the dew is on them. Put
ting the chicks on ground where
chicks have never been raised before
and blowing up the old runs ana
seeding them with a crop is pre-
ventative measure for this trouble
If this cannot be done. II will help 10
keep the chicks off the grass In the
morning until the dew is gone. Three
drops of creolin added to each pint
of the chicks drinking water also Is
helpful.

Big Cows Give More Profit Associa-
ton Figures Show.

Figures collected from various
cow-testing associations thruout the
country and compiled by the United
States Department of Agriculture
tend to confirm the previous conclu-
siOns of the department that with
in the breeds, so far as they were re-
presented by these animals, which
were mostly grades, the large cows
are the biggest producers of dairy
products and are also the most pro-
fitable. The evidence seems to point
to the fact that in the individual far
mer's herd It will be found that on
the average the. larger cows are more
though there are some indications
that this may not hold true in the
case of herds of native cattle contain
ing much beef blood.
The cows whose records have been
used by the department have been
sorted out so that only mature an
finals were used for these compari-
sons thus eliminating any differences
that might have been caused by the
immaturity Of some cows.
In one group for which figures
have been prepared there were 100
cows classified as small, 201 as me-
dunn, and 1923 as large. The small
cows averaged 243 pounds of butter
fat a year. and made an income over
the cost of feed of 1899. Those of
medium size made 2S9 pounds of but
terfat and an income over feed cost
Of 1891. The large cows produced
345 pounds Of butterfat and return
above feed cost of 1O5.74.
In another group there were 561
small cows, 4S3 classed as medium,
and 326 large. Those in the first
classification made 240 pounds of
butterfat on an average and an in
come over cost of feed Of S9.11. The
mediums made 27S pounds of butter
fat and $1O6O9 over feed cost. The
large ones produced 200 pounds of
butterfat and an income over feed
cost of 10S.29.
These tables were based mostly on
figures for the years 1916 to 1919,
inclusive. which accounts for the high
average income over cost of feed.

Poultry Hatcheries Being Inspected
in Wisconsin.

Poultry Hatcheries Being Inspected
In Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin poultry hatcheries
are the only ones in the United States
which are under State regulation and
inspection, according to information
collected by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Because of the
menace to the poultry industry thru
the sale of young chicks of inferior
quality and breeding, the State De-
partment of Markets and the poultry
department of the University of Wis
consin have established regulations
and requirements for hatchery flocks
and for hatcheries, and those that fill
the requirements and live up to the
regulations will be known as evils
consin Inspected and Accredited
Hatcheries and Hatchery Flocks." A
list of the accredited hatcheries and
flocks has been prepared and publish
ed. Chicks purchased from hatch
cries on the list bear the mark of the
Department of Markets, which gives
assurance that they are standard
bred and from reasonably good egg
producing strains. Inspectors issue
certificates to owners of hatcheries
and flocks that fill the requirements.

New Varieties of Oats In Iowa, New
York, and Idaho.


The production of high-yielding
varieties of oats for various condi-
tions has been the principal problem
in connection with the breeding of
spring and winter oats during the
past year by the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture in coopera-
ton with State agricultural expert
ment stations. Practically all OF
those so far produced have been pure
lines selected from commercial va
rieties, but efforts are also being
made to combine the different quail
ties of good strains by hybridization.
Studies are being carried on in CO.
operation with cereal-disease workers
on the resistance of oat varieties to
stem rust, crown rust, and smut. The
few varieties which appear to be re-
sistant to these diseases are not COM
mercially important, and are being
with better commercial va
rieties in the hope of producing re-
sistant strains which will produce
high yields of good quality.
In New York four pure lines have
been named and distributed to farm
ers through the Cornell University
agricultural experiment station.
These are the Comedian Cromwell,
and Empire. The Cornell
liam is a comparatively early variety
with certain drawbacks which sug-
gest the need for hybridization with
some of the better varieties of white
oats. Cromwell, Standwell, and EN-
pire are selections from midseason

CLOSING IF EAST LAKE PARK SUNDAY
Rumors That Petitions Are Circulated to Close Mu-
 nicipaI Resort

T take the whole thing as a huge joke" Is the way Miles Bradford, superintendent of East Lake greeted the rumors that petitions were being circulated in East Lake to close the amusement park on Sundays.
 MT. Bradford said he did not be- lieve the movement had been start ed by proponents of dancing at East Lake defeated in the election and now resorting to this method as a sort of vengeance.
 Tn fact, if there is anything to the petition at all, 1t can be attributed to the winners of the election, who, having stopped the dance proposi- tion, hope now to put an end to Sum day amusement there.
 I'm in the air" was Commission CT William E. Harrison's comment when asked about the petition. T have heard that there was a move ment to prevent Sunday amusements at the park but I am unable to say who are sbehind the proposition or what their reason is for undertaking it.
 'I don't believe the people want East Lake park closed on Sundays and think it would be a pretty hard matter to induce a majority of citi- zens to take this action.

Infant Illness For
 Birmingham Shown On Downward Trend

Infant illness in Birmingham is considerably decreased over this period last year. Dr. J. Ross Snyder told members of the board of health at It's monthly meeting at the city hall yesterday afternoon.
 Dr. Snyder attributed this low infant illness to the work of the board of health in concentrating on pure milk for the babies and urged that the milk campaign be continued.
 A general discussion of health matters in Birmingham ensued in which Baby week and other programs in which the board was interested were mentioned.
 No reference was made to the recent whipping of Dr. Bowling and the meeting adjourned after a brief session
