SODIUM FLUoRID POISONOUS
Does Not Get Into Drinking Water or Feed.

If sodium f1uorid Is used for killing lice on chickens be careful not to let 1t get into the food or water. Don't pour 1t out where the hens will drink 1t before 1t can soak into the ground. The material Is rather poisonous if taken internally.
 Where some of the sodium fiuorid in dust form reaches the body of the op- orator, and Is allowed to remain for several hours, local irritation and burning may occur on tender parts of the skin. In dusting large fiocks 1t is better to use table rather than to hold the fowls between the knees. The solution does not injure the hands, even when dipping Is continued for several hours, except where there are sores, which may become slightly irrf- tated.
 Don't allow sodium f1uorid solution to remain in galvanized vessels & great length of time. It Is best not to keep 1t overnight in tubs or galvanized con tainers, as 1t will injure them.

New Check on Criminals.

AS If the way of the transgressor were not hard enough already, Doctor Locard, worldwide authority on crtm- lnal Identification, has elaborated two new plans which seem to have been received with favor in the French criminal courts. In "poroscopy," Doctor Locard considers the number, form and position of body pores re- main the same throughout all ones life. The impression of the pores, in his system, Is colored by chemical vapors or very fine powders so that they may be photographed with the aid of a microscope. Graphometry consists in the theory that handwriting shows always a certain relation in size between letters and unmistak- able characteristics in form, particu- 1arly of loops.-Scientific American.

ERADICATION OF
 BARBERRY PLANT
Campaign Begun as Control Measure Against Loss of
 Grain by Black Stem Rust.
BUSHES THRIVE EVERYWHERE
Plants Spread to Woodland, Pastures Stream Banks and Fence Rows by Distribution of Seeds by
 Different Birds.
(Prepared by the United States Department
 of ARriculfnraN

CPrepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 The job of eradicating the common barberry has proved to be a much more extensive one than was antici- pated by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture at the outset of the campaign in April, 1918. This campaign was begun as. a control measure against the enormous losses of grain from black-stem rust. Tn years of moderate rust epidemics, the reduction In the yield of wheat alone has amounted to 5O,OOO,OOO bushels, while in 1916 the year of a very se- were epidemic, there was a reduction in yield of 1SO,OOO,OOO bushels in the United States alone.
 Bushes Grow, Everywhere.
 In the grain-growing districts of the upper Mississippi valley, where the campaign has been carried on, it was supposed that barberry bushes existed chiefly as Ornamental plants in the towns and cities. This was disproved during the first year of the campaign by the finding of 176, 6,430 bushes on 1,166 rural properties. About 750O0 of these were scattered widely over 127 properties, showing that all coun- try bushes are not confined to the farmsteads, hut had been spread to woodland, pastures, stream banks, and fence rows by the distribution of seeds by birds
 With these facts in mind, the cam paign was more vigorously pushed In 1919. As soon as the survey of most cities and villages was completed. farm-to-farm survey of certain definite areas was begun. The results in 1919 were as follows: 238,O ,OOO bushes were found on 14.100 city properties, while 1,760. .OOO bushes were found on 4,600 farms. Of these last, 1,6SO,OOO bushes were ones that had escaped from cul- tivation on 1,2O0 properties.
 During the calendar year 1920 eff forts were concentrated upon the farm to-farm survey. A resurvey of cities and villages in the counties surveyed was carried on at the same time. In Ohio seven counties along the western

CAREFULLY CONSIDER
 DIVERS ENTERPRISES
Hasty Conclusions Should Be
 Cautiously Avoided
No Reason for Assuming All ActlV- tiles of Farm Should Be Devoted to One Big Money Crop
 Study All Angles.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agricuiture)
 In making use of the results of a years cost accounts for the purpose of perfecting the organization of the farm, nasty conclusions should not be drawn. Sometimes a positive decrease in profits may ensue If an enterprise be dropped, because, taken alone, 1t has failed to pay. Cows, for instance, may not be showing a net profit, but If all the cows were sold there might be no other way of using up the roughaee and 1t would become dead loss. Labor devoted night and morn ing to milking and feeding cows and charged to them would be entirely lost if the COWS were sold and noth- ing supplied to fill in the time.
 The fact that the hogs or the corn crop bring in the most net money dur ing the season is no reason for assum- ing that all the activities of the farm in the future should be devoted solely to hogs or corn. It may be that the keeping of cows Is partly responsible for making the hogs so profitable, or that the growing of wheat, clover, or other crops in rotation with corn makes the latter crop much more prof itable than 1t would have been If grown alone.
 Similar conditions will be met with on all farms, and, therefore, no sud den changes should be made on the basis of what single years accounts may indicate. All angles of the en- terprise should be taken into consid- sratfon.

BIG VALUE OF COVER CROPS
CTS and Trucksters Who Cannot Obtain Manure.

Cover crops are of especial value to small gardeners and trucksters, who sive to obtain stable manure. They add the humus which is so necessary to maintain a good physical condition of the soil. Wherever there is a vacant place in the garden a few seeds of rye, vetch, clover, etc, may be sown and raked in. If a suitable rotation of crops Is followed all parts of the gar den may be covered with a green ms- nure crop once every two or three years.

CARS MUST BE WELL COOLED
Refrigerator Should Be Allowed 10 Rest on Siding at Least a Hours
 Before Loading.

The careful shipper and packer should ask the railroad to set the re- figerator car on his siding at least 24 hours before he expects to load, for no man who works to prevent decay ever loads his poultry into & car having high temperature. Examine the car to see that when the doors are closed not a ray of light enters. See that the drain pipes are in working order; and when the car has been iced and salted for 24 hours take the temperature about four feet from the floor midway be- tween the doors. If 1t Is below 10 de- grees Fahrenheit you may load your chilled birds with safety.

It was the seventeenth round. The two pugilists looked like drowned rats. The referee held up his hand.
 'Them last rounds don't count l" he announced, hoarsely. "The fight will have to start all over again''
 A low growl ran through the vast assembly.
 What's the trouble?" roared an in- dividual in the tenth row.

Printing in Amerlca,s Early Days.

The first printing press in New Eng land was set up in Cambridge in 1889. The first book printed was the Free mans Oath" the second an almanac for New England, and the third t!2e Psalms. There were five printing presses running in Boston in 1719, and 1t is very probable that during that Q years from 1639 numerous books were printed.

Many Bushes Removed.

In the entire campaign of three field seasons a total of 5,444,OOO bushes have been found and 4,23O,O0O re- moved. Included with these, in so far as estimates were furnished, are hun dreds of thousands of bushes removed from commercial nurseries during the early part of the campaign. The larger numbers were about 6OOOOO for Minnesota, 5OO,OOO for Iowa, 100000 for Wisconsin, and 75.0OO for Ohio. Of the 1,214OOO remaining bushes about 100000 are seeding bushes less than IS inches in height in a single area in southern Wisconsin. The work for the field season of 1921 is to continue the farm-to-farm sur vey In as many counties as possible adjacent to those already completed.
