rHR PROPOSED NEW CALENDAR

Scientists are giving considerable
favor to the proposition to change the
calendar SO that the year shall be d.
vided into Is months Of 2s days each.
This plan, called the "yearar calendar
would provide for 364 days. and it
would be necessary TO have one addi-
tional day, to make up the 36o days
which it takes the earth to 20 around
the sun, which would come on leap
year As now.
The advantage Of this plan is that
the day Of the week would always
come the same days Of the month.
Each week would begin with Sunday,
70 tha, Sundays would always come
on the lst, sth, 18th and 22nd days.
Each week day would have its own
regular date. Calendars would be
less necessary than now. since people
would learn on what dates the week
days fall. Holidays would always fall
on some fixed days Of the week.
Christmas. for instance would always
come Saturdays
Changes like these are very slow 20
bring about, since they run SO strong
ly against peoples inertia. Yet the
calendar as q means for measuring
time, is not = fixed thing tina, can't
be changed. The present calendar is
substantially the same as ;ha. adopted
in Rome IS years before Christ, and
planned by Julius Caesar.

emitting the extra leap year day on

WASHINGTON FARMERS
SHIP in COOPERATION
(By Associated Press)

Springfield, KY, July 22-By
means of cooperative shipping,
Washington county farmers this
season have realized an addition
a. profit of 65 on each of three
carloads of lambs that they have
marketed while docking and
otherwise altering the animals
before marketing them resulted
in profits equally as satisfactory,
according to County Agent Rob
ert NJ. Heath. These are part
OF the good results that have
been obtained in a cooperative
movement which the farmers
carried on with the College of
Agriculture extension division at
Lexington in an attempt to make
sheep raising a more profitable
industry in Washington county,
he says.
Early in the season "a demon
strations were held by Mr..
Heath and specialists from the
college DIVISION to show farmers
how to dock their lambs and
otherwise alter them so that they
would be N the best market con-
dition when it came time to sell
them. AS result of this work
a total of 1,24S Washington
county lambs received the rec
commended attention.
The next step in the move
nlent was cooperative shipping
of the animals, a total of three
carloads being marketed by this
means. Lambs in the first car
load brought Is cents more a
hundred than other lambs on the
Louisville market on the same
day while those in the second
and third cars brought 50 and Z
cents more respectively, Nh
Heath said.
- Cooperative shipping as car
ried out by the farmers this year
proved to have another advan-
tage, this being a reduction in
the margin necessary to take the
lambs from the farm to the mar
ket. By means Of cooperation,
the lambs we're shipped from the
county to Louisville for SLY a
hundred pounds, whereas local
buyers claimed that they must
have a margin of $1.75 a hundred
pounds in order to realize a prof.
it on the deal.
In the three carloads of Wash
nlgton county lambs there were
only three animals that we're
graded as seconds whereas the
average single car usually con-
tains as many as Is, Mr.. Heath
says.

sWIFTs PRODUCE REVIEW

Movement of live poultry has
increased and is now above nor
NAL for the time Of year, indicat-
ing an extremely large amount
of poultry available on the farm,
The demand for dressed poul-
try seems to be lighter than
usual and values are working
nearer to a pre-war basis. Pros
poets for the balance of the year
are that conservative values will
rule.
Extremely heavy stocks of
storage eggs, as shown by the
government report. with produc-
ton still above normal, has had
a depressing ecect on the mar
ket, and values in the consuming
markets are now about the low
est they have been at any time
this season. Indications are that
values will have to be kept on d
conservative basis to move the
current production and surplus
storage stocks.
Production of butter for the
past week has shown an increase
over a few weeks ago, due to
better pasturage conditions.
The export demand for the
time being is filled and as a con-
sequence, prices have worked to
a lower level. Indications are
that there will be a good pro-
duetion of butter the balance of
the summer and values should
be reasonable.

Nav York AS a
result of the perfection Of wireless
communication al sea the work OF
Che ship surgeons has been greatly
enhanced. There was time, not 50
bong ago, when the duties OF the
surgeon was confined TO the care OF
She passengers ana crew on the
vessel of which he was physician.
Nowadays, however, the surgeons
work has been almost doubled by
Che ais for aid from passing ships.
Recently a survey of the medical
situation in the vessels OF its fleet
was made by the United States
Lines and many interesting stories
were brought to light.
Within the last few months, in
yestigation shows, the surgeons OF
the United States Lines vessels
have been called upon to prescribe
for a score or more cases which
were brought TO them through the
medium of wireless. Now that the
wireless telephone has passed the
experimental stage, demonstrations
having been successfully carried on
for a number of weeks aboard the
Steamship America, it is expected
that the ship surgeons will be
called upon more extensively than
heretofore.
It is nothing uncommon for the
ship surgeon to be aroused in the
middle of the night to prescribe
for a sick sailor aboard vessel
several hundred miles distant. The
radio calls for assistance usually
come from freight ships, which dol
not carry surgeons and on which
the captain with the aid Of linn
tied medicine chest acts as physi-I
elan to his crew.
On his recent arrival in New
York DR.. R. H. Boiling, surgeon on
the steamship President Roosevelt
reported having treated twelve
members OF a frefghter's crew by
wireless. The> Snfl surgeon was
aroused in the middle Of the night
by a radio requesting aid for
twelve sailors who were in great |
agony. DR.. Boiling called for del
tailed histories of the eases and
after thorough analysis of the in-i
formation sent him determined |
that the luekless twelve were vic

surgeon prescribed heroic treat !

Kentucky.

Kentucky has 27O,626 farms with
235,122 head Of breeding hogs, accord
ing to the United States census of
1920, which means that it has less
than one hog per farm. According to
the census there were 819,043 pigs
and 450,266 feeding hogs, which brings
the average up to 5.5 head per farm of
all kinds Of hogs for the state of Ken
lucky, only 1858 head of the total
were pure-bred animals, all breeds in
cluded.
I The State Fair Board of Kentucky
have been endeavoring to correst this
situation by inducing exhibitions of
swine at State Fair each year, which
will stimulate interest in the Amer
ican Mortgage Litter. According to l..
