Tourists
 Victims Of Rogues

London. July 5-''Every day sucker is born and the majority of them are raised in the United States" declares Scotland Yard.
 Their opinion is based on the fact that every day and almost all day they are deluged with complaints by tricksters and confidence men. with all their old time-honored hoary for mulae.
 Here is one of the latest instances. Two Americans entered into conVersa- ton with another tourist at St. PauTs Cathedral, and somehow the same tourist met them coming out of their hotel next morning and suggested tickets to view the Mint and come and see it. One of them went to the British Museum, and the other went with the tourist.
 The result of that mornings work was that the latter was relieved of over a thousand dollars.
 It was the old trick. A stranger velope. The American picked it up. And the grateful stranger" entered into conversation. He explained that he had $5O0,OOO to give away in charity. and the man who had just served the bulky envelope, containing g valuables, was obviously the man to be entrusted with giving away 50,000 to American charities. for which he Thereupon the American drew S1,- 465 from an American bank to show that he was man of substance They then went to a hotel and had some drinks. And then each in turn showed his trust by giving his valua- bles to the original distributor. who went out for ten minutes
 In the Americans case the original trickster found an excuse to go out also. And neither came back
 With this ordinary trhcksters would have been content. But not so these cheVaHerS. They went at once to the British Museum, collected the other American and by the same trick took S40O away from him. Last week another American visitor was swindled by the same ancient story of S1.500 and diamond ring. The biggest coup of - this season | was when the confidence men relieved l an American of S5, 900 in less than an ! hour. As it happened the police | could have secured the thieves if only | the victim had remained to give evi- | dence against them. But he was ir a hurry to return home and refused tc | wait.

Garbage Collections
 Growing Larger

The local Health Department col lected 64 tons more of garbage in the last week of June. 1922, than in the corresponding week of 1921. Per haps this is due to the fact that pros perity is staging comeback and that people are throwing away more food scraps.
 The more probable cause is believed to be the fact that the garbage trains are now covering a great deal more territory, that more yards are being visited and that the collection is be coming more frequent and thorough
 The total collection of garbage for the last week of June. 1922, was |697,630 pounds or about 34S tons. This was 128.130 pounds or 64 tons more than was collected in the last week of June, 1921, when 569, ,5oO hounds or 2S4 tons were collected

Farmers give much attention TO va
rious combinations and rotations of
crops, endeavoring to secure an ar
rangement that is most profitable for
each individual farm They do the
same in selecting the kinds and num-
berS of live stock But not so much
attention is paid to the selection of
poultry to suit the peculiar conditions
of farms and neighborhoods. The hen
will always be the leader among farm
poultry, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture, but she re-
quires the ala of turkeys, guineas,
geese and ducks, just as on a dairy
farm the COW often requires the aid
Of pigs and sheep to make the farm
business most profitable.
Ducks Gather Food From Streams.
Where grain fields of neighboring
farms are in proximity to the barn
and dooryard it would, perhaps, be
better not to keep turkeys. The farm
through which no streams run, and
which has no large pond, would prob
ably be better without ducks. But
the circumscribed farm. on which tur-
keys would be q disadvantage, may
be supplied with a small pool so To-
Gated that ducks would be profitable
and the farm that has no streams and
ponds may have large range for tur-
keys.
Turkeys, ranging further afield,
prey upon the insects that escape
the hens. From the time the poults
are old enough to forage until near
frost, they take the bulk of their feed
from field insects. devOuring millions

where wooded areas are still fairly

in the diet of the turkey. When the

and the like, turkeys will 90 a long
way toward fattening themselves for

VIII require q larger feeding of grain

SWINE SANITATION BY FILM
Roundworm Causes Great Losses Each

prepared by the United States Department.
Of Agriculture
The life and adventures of a worm
would not seem to be promising ma
terial for a movie scenario, but a film
recently issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture proves that
the dOingS Of such d Iowly organism
as the roUndwOrm that infeStS the
inteStineS OF swine may be absorbing.
Ascaris lumbricoides is the scientific
name for this parasite that causes
great losses every year 10 swine grow
ers, and the title of the educational
picture is Exit Ascaris.'
The screen story is built around
two neighbOr farmers, one of whom
has success with his pigs and the other
SO much hard luck that he is dis
cOuraged almost TO the point of giving
up the business. The man with the
unthrifty herd goes down the road
to see the successful hog raiser about
his troubles and is told that round
worms are the probable cause of his
failure. But he is skepticaI and re-
mains uncOnvinced until Il federal
veterinarian is called in to diagnose
the case.
The veterinarian brings q high
power microscope and sets it up on
box in the hog yard where he shows
the farmer and his neighbor that the
soil of the lot is badly infested with
the minute eggs of the roundworm.
The eggs with the squirming young
worms plainly visible within the walls
are shown in the field of the micro
scope that is reproduced on the film.
Then the entire life history OF the
worm is shown, from the time the
egg is swallowed by the unwilling
pig until the parasite is mature and
one of hundreds in the intestines. The
growing worms are shown to the owner
right in his own sick pigs where there
are plenty of specimens IL various
stages of development from the very

MIXED INFECTION IN SWINE
Hog Industry Would Be Better off If
More Attention Given to
Cholera, Says Expert.

Mixed infection in hogs is receiving
too much notoriety. This name was
invented by a biological house for the
purpose of putting a new bacterin on
the market. The new bacterin is sup
posed to prevent several of the com
plications of hog cholera, such as
swine plague. From a scientific stand
point, the term mixed infection"
means nothing If more attention
were given to hog cholera and less to
mixed infection" the hog industry
would be better off.-Dr. G. S. Weaver

SPACE REQUIRED BY CALVES
Individual Pens Are Good When Farm
er Can Afford Them-Labor
Is Expensive.

Twenty to twenty-five square feet
of floor space exclusive of hangers
should be provided for calves under
six months old. Individual pens are
good when one can afford them, but
they are more costly on account of
the large amount of material neces-
sary for pen walls, space required,
and labor in cleaning them than pens
holding four or five calves apiece.
The latter are entirely satisfactory
provided the calves are sanctioned
while being fed.

| Of waste that would escape both hens
and turkeys. Taking a wider range
than chickens. and yet not quite so
wide as turkeys, keeping largely to
the thickets and weed patches, and
committing fewer depredations against
field and garden than either chickens
or turkeys, requiring little feeding at
any time, being good layers during
their season of eggs that are thought
by many to have richer and finer
flavor even than hen eggs, the guinea
is a good fowl to keep on any farm
where a serious effort is made to con-
vert all waste into meat or eggs.
Geese, ia a larger measure than
chickens. or any other kind of poultry,
are grazing stock, taking their living
in large part from the ordinary grasses
of the pastures. When the facts are
taken into consideration that the de-
mand for geese is strong, steady. and
extended practically over the entire
year. not confined to the holiday sea
sons as the demand for turkeys, that
geese excel all other kinds of poultry
as producers of fat, the importance
of an adequate number of geese in the
poultry scheme becomes apparent.
on farms where ponds or streams
are available, ducks will convert into
meat and eggs great quantities of
water insects and various aquatic
forms that would not be utilized by
any other kind of poultry. Ducks
while they consume large quantities
of grass and other green stuff, are
more partial to animal feeds and are
very energetic in patrolling the branch
es, creeks. and ponds as sources of
feed supply.
Pigeons of Questionable Value.
The one kind of poultry of question
able economic value on farms is the
pigeon. Almost exclusively a grain
eater, the pigeon renders no important
service as a conserver of waste, ex-
cept, perhaps, in the case of shattered
grain in the fields, and that in a
large measure would be taken up by
other poultry and by pigs. The pig
con has its place in the towns and
cities, but, except in isolated instances
where conditions are peculiarly favor
able, its production is not often de
sirable on farms. The backyard
poultry keeper can hardly hope for
success with turkeys, geese ducks, or
guineas, but for those who have lofts
over garage, stable or coal shed the
opportunity for squad growing is
worth considering

Pigs should always be given worm
treatment Immediately after weaving.
If necessary give them second dose
two weeks after the first. If they are

Ak is BEST FOR EGG EATERS
Habit Spreads From One Fowl to An
other and Unless Checked
Affects Whole Flock

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Egg eating sometimes becomes a Sc
riOus vice in a flock. the fowls becOm-
ing very fond of eggs when they have
learned to eat them. The habit
spreads from fowl to fowl and unless
checked will often spread through the
whole flock Egg eating usually begins
through accident by eggs being broken
or frozen. See that the nests are prop
erly supplied with straw or other nest
ing material and have them darkened,
so that if an egg is accidentally broken
the fowls will not be likely to dis
cover it. Supply plenty of lime in the
form of oyster shells, bone or similar
substances to insure firm shell. AS
soon as it is discovered that a fowl
has formed the habit, the fowl should
be removed to prevent the spread of
the vice. Once formed, it is difficult
to eradicate, and the safest remedy is
the death penalty, say poultry special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Fowls sometimes pluck feathers
from themselves and from each other.
This is often caused by too close con-
tinement, by the presence of insect
pests, or by improper feeding. When
some of the fowls of a flock have
formed the habit slightly, a wide
range with a change of diet, including
a plentiful supply of animal feed. and
freedom from insect pests, will usual
ly correct the evil. Above all, see
that the fowls have plenty of induce
ment to exercise. If the habit becomes
well formed it is very troublesome and
may necessitate the killing of some OF
the fowls in ORDER TO ston il

YEARLY EGG LAYING PERIOD
Increase Made at Massachusetts Elk
pertinent Station by Selection
of PuIets.

DR.. II. D. GOOdale, research biologist
in poultry at the Massachusetts Ex-
detrimental station, stated that the
yearly egg-laying period of a flock of
hens at that place had been increased
by an average of IS days by egg
selection from early-laying pulletS.
This, he said, had resulted in an in
crease in the number of winter eggs,
raising the annual egg average from
121 to 1S5. Poultry breeders should
aim to eliminate broody hens from
breeding stock; also the birds idle
longest in the winter months.
