sulphur busted On Clothing Prevents
Chigger Attacks.

Rare days in June-and July and
.August-tempt natuse lovers into
woods and fields and by the sides of
babbling brooks. frequently they
return to undergo several days Of
acute torment due to attacks by CHG
gers. the tiny mites whose larvae at
tach themselves to the skin in any ex-
posed spot.
The Bureau OF Entomology of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has made careful study of the
habits of chiggers ana methods OF
control. and suggest two ways of re-
ducing the discomfort caused by CHG
gers.
The first step is to clothe the feet
and ankles properly when going Into
the woods where chiggers are likely
to occur, by wearing heavy high-topp-
ed boots instead of low shoes, thick
stockings OF even spiral puttees. The
second method is to apply repellents
either directly on the skin or on the
hose and undergarments before start
ing out for hike or a picnic.
Flowers OF sulphur is ordinarily us
ed for this purpose. A hot bath with
a thick lather of soap taken imme-
diately afterl returning from an out
ing often Kills chigger larvae on
the body.
Palliatives such as sulphur ONT
ment, alcohol. amonia, cooking soda,
or camphor are of use chiefly because
of their acaricide or mite-kil'ing ac-
tion, or because Of their antiseptic
quality, or for both reasons.

of which varies in accordance with
the amount Of light to which it is ex-

the light waves into electric waves
and then into sound waves.

An agents life is full of queer ex-
periencss. Agent A. M. Mallory OF

Chemists Devise Tests To Detect Re-
made Milk.

The increased use of remade milk
and cream-that is, milk and cream
made from powdered or condensed
milk and sweet-cream butter-has
made necessary some method by
which they may be distinguished
from the natural, products. Such
test has been devised by chemists OF
the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture, and II is now possible to de-
tect as little as 10 per cent OF remads
milk in a mixture with natural pas
teurized milk. If milk powder has
been used in making the mixture, the
amount that can be detected Will de-
pend on the degree of heat used IN
dts manufacture.
The test for both milk and cream
is based upon the color produced
when the washed curd made from
them is dissolved in sodium hydrox-
ide. When this cuid solution mas
stood for several hours character
istic yellow color develops in the
samples taken from remade milk ana
cream or mixtures containing them;
samples of the natural products or
only slight mixtures do not show IT,
Remade milk and cream are whole
some foods II made properly from
good, natural milk, but should be soid
for what they are, and this test makes
It possible for food officials to de-
termine whether or not the consumer
Is being deceived.

Control Methods Suggested For
Cheese Or Ham Shippers.

Cheese Or Ham Shippers.
Because of damage by insects,
chiefly the ham skipper, about ST.
OOO, GOO worth of meat is annually
condemned by Federal inspectors.
Much greater damage in proportion
to the value of meat handled un-
doubleday is done by shippers, which
are the larvae Of the skipper fly. in
small abattoirs and on farms where
sanitary precautions are not general
ly so thorough as in the large meat
packing establishments.
This loss. according to the Bureau
of Entomology of the United States
Department of Agriculture, must
largely be controlled by preventive
measures. The larvae hibernate in
cold temperatures and 1t takes a
high temperature to kill them. Natu-
raj insect enemies, which are useful
in the control of some harmful in
sects. are of little or no use in CON
trolling the ham skipper because most
of those which attack the skipper are
pests in themselves. 49,
Fine wire screens, having at least
80 meshes to the inch, should be us
ed where cured meats are stored.
Rooms infested with shippers can be
fumigated with hydrocyanic-acid gas
according to directions furnished by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. Rooms in which cured
meats are hung should have cement
floors and light-colored walls. either
plastered, painted or whitewashed'
so that hiding places for the shippers
will be eliminated
The entire life cycle of the skipper
is completed in IL days during warm
summer weather, so that 2 genera
tions month may be expected. In
one ham kept under observation
there was a total recorded production
of 52,627 shippers during period OF
IS months, and loss in the weight
of the ham of pounds, ounces,
largely due to the feeding Of the
shippers.

lions OF the bred are being used to
improve the saddle horses on the
range. Used on the native Hight
mares they produce useful animal
that satisfies the ranchers' demands.
AT the Southwestern Exposition
and Fat Stock Show, held at Fort
Worth, Tex, March IL to IS, this
year, there was particularly good
show of the breed. Sixteen horses
were exhibited and there was a strong
class Of aged stations. Red Oak s.
249 was the best aged stallion and
champion Morgan. This horse, sir
ed by General Gates was developed
at the United States Morgan Horse
Farm at Mlddlebury, VT. The Nor
gans were placed by one of the best
known horse judges in the country,
who described the champion as one OF
the finest horses he had ever seen.
As a result of the efforts of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture in improving the Morgan and in
stimulating a renewal of interest in
this useful American breed, good
breeding specimens are now found in
many parts of the country. In order
to obtain suitable remounts for the
service the Army has placed Nor
gan stations in Kansas, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska. and Texas. A
few are owned privately in Illinois.
Missouri and Iowa, but the strong
hold of the breed remains in New
England, particularly In Vermont,
where II was first developed.

ing. 1 have a tuning coil, a TWEEN
ty-three plate condenser and zone of
forty three plates. The larger con-
denser is filled with oil. I am using

mica condenser worth while in this
set? Should I fill the larger con-
denser with oil?
(b) / have room for a 30-foot an
tenna. How many strands should I
use?
A. (a) You will not need another
condenser unless You wish to pur-
chase a small fixed condenser at a
nominal sum and shunt 1t across
your phone. Until you receive the
diagram being forwarded, try to
hook up your set in this manner:
Aerial lead to primary of your
tuner, to one variable condenser, to
ground (make this on water pipe)
from secondary to detector, to
phones, to other end Of a secondary.
Shunt the other condenser across
the secondary. The larger con-
denser you have is one using castor
oil as dialectric. 1t will not be nee
essary to fill it, although these con-
densers are sold empty.
(b) One long wire is better than
several short ones for receiving. As
you have a crystal detector set, you
cannot use a loop aerial. There
