in South Africa called Matoppo. 1t
is said that there. in his earlier days.
he used to climb and dream of the
future of the vast country spread
at his feet, and that even then he
determined that that should be his
burial place.

HOW BOOKS ARE DlSINFECTED
Method Employed in France Is Said to
Be the Most Successful Yet
Devised.

The danger of ContagiOn from books
that have been in the hands of per-
sons suffering from various diseases
las led to the invention of methods of
dlsinfeCting, of which none appears to
be more effective than that devised
by member of the municipal council
Of Paris.
This process consists of two fea-
lures. In the first place, the books
are placed in a "beater," where a
strong current of air opens every leaf,
and an aspirator sucks out the dust
and deposits it in aSeptic water. Then
they are suspended in a disinfector,
the covers being bent back and held
by clips, 50 that the leaves are widely
opened, and placed over a heater
which for a long time subjects them
to a temperature Of 167 degrees Fab
renheit. The paper is not damaged,
and the efficiency of the process is
said to be well demonstrated.

Profiteerinq by a Doctor.

A medical man in Nagykoros, near
Budapest, recently charged 5000
crowns (present value e., but pur-
chasing value in a village about f6)
for single visit to patient who
lived not far from the doctors resi-
dence. This patient sued the doctor
for 'prOfiteering," but the court dis
missed the case. The plaintiff APP
pealed, however, to a higher court,
which gave judgment against the doc
tor, on the ground that the demand
ing of an eXorbitant fee for profess
siOnal services was to be regarded as
protiteering, and was therefore Illegal.
1t was decided that mental workers
could fairly be considered as profiteers
in such cases; no exception could be
made concerning doctors, for although
the latter did not technically receive
wages" their services came within
the accepted meaning of work"

MARRIED MEN BEST WORKERS
Chances for Securing EmpIoymenS on
Farm Are Less Than SO Per
Cent for Single Men.

If you want job on a farm your
chances Of getting it are slightly better
than so per cent if you are married,
and slightly less than SO per cent if
single. But if you're married and have
children your chances are around 45
per cent.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has found that, Of 1,201
farm jobs advertised in eastern farm
papers from, 1920 to 1922, single men
were wanted in 3S7 instances. and
married men in 41G instances In 1913
cases the social requirements were not
stated.
OF the advertisements for married
men children specifically were not
wanted in - instances. Children were
wanted or were permissible in Il in
stances.
Many farmers who hire laborers
have no dwellings to let and cOnse-
Quently cannot employ married men, it
Is said. If the farmer has a dwelling
for a laborers family he prefers that
it should he occupied.

HAD. STUDIED HIS SUBJECT
Little Bobby's Essay Showed He Knew
Practically All There Was to
Know About Doors.

Little Bobby Jones was told to write
an essay on Door," and the effort
which he sent in was as follows:
Most houses have all the doors
that they need, and no house is com
plete without at least one. The two
main differences between a door and
gate is: first, their opposite lOca-
ton; and, second, that people have
much less respect for a gate, and
would rather kick it than knock on it.
But gate is more useful than a
door because it does everything that
a door can do, and, besides that, 1t
can be climbed over, and often is.
"The door handle is small but i'm
portant part of the door which peO-
pie never appreciate until it comes
off. Most people never notice the door
handle unless it is brought to their
notice on account of having jam
spread all over it.
doors are great things to give peO-
pie privacy, and would give them still
more if it wasn't for the keyholes."-

CONTROL OF CHICKEN PESTS
Application of Blue Ointment Will
Prove Efficaoious, as Will
Sodium FIuorid.

A study of the life of chicken lice
shows that there are a dozen different
kinds infeSting the same bird Most
of them, however, frequent the rear
part Of the body at least once in
every tWenty-four hours where they
obtain the necessary moisture for
their life and growth. This moisture
is obtained from around the vent.
This habit of lice would answer one
method Of treatment, the use of blue
ointment.
Blue ointment applied around the
vent and under the wing of each fowl
affected seems to get rid Of the lice
in very short time. a piece the
size of good sized pea is plenty for
one bird. If the blue ointment Is
thick and heavy it should be melted
so that it can be applied in very thin
layer. 1t is well to make a second
application two weeks after the first,
especially IL the birds are badly at
fected.
Any of the advertised lice powders
and many of. the homemade ppwners
seem. to work very we'll. Good dust
wallows handy to the poultry house
also aid considerably in controlling
this pest. >....
Sodium florid can also be used to
control lice This is a common prep
aration which can be obtained at any
3 drug store. 1t is applied by what is
known az the pinch method. A pinch
should be worked into the fluff of the
tail, a pinch under each wing, a pinch
on the back, and a pinch worked into
the neck feathers.

WAR GASES PROPOSED
TO ERADICATE PESTS
Some of Them Promise to Be
Quite Efficient.
Particularly Useful When Heavier
Than Air and Used on Burrowing
Rodents and Insects in
Stored Products.

(Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Deadly gases that were developed
for war purposes are now being tried
out by the United States Department
OF Agriculture as means for destroy
ing noXiOus birds, animals, and insects.
Some of them promise to be useful
when applied under proper conditions,
particularly those that are heavier
than air and can be used on burrowing
rodents, and possibly Subterranean in
sects and pests in stored products
The most recent proposal is to use
gas to kill destructive birds that. con-
gregate in marshes. In the coming
fall the biological survey, in cooper
alton with the chemical warfare Serv-
ice, is planning to make trial of the
method on blackbirds in the Imperial
valley of California. In that region
these birds are said to do at least $5O,-
900 worth of damage to the milo crop
each year. Because of their feeding
habits it is impossible to DESTROY these
birds with poisoned bats, but, as they
roOSt on the reeds in the marshes, it
is thought that they can be killed by
gas cloud at night when the wind is
favorable. The blackbirds are migra-
tory and return to the same places
year after year. 1t is thought that a
big killing in a certain locality will
probably free it of the pests for many
years.
Arrangements also are being made
by the biological survey with the chem
ical warfare service for investigating
the possibility of using poison gases on
such burroWing rodents as rats, prairie
dogs, ground squirrels, and wood
chucks. -. ...,t h.. -. r.
Entomologists of the department
haye already worked in cooperation
with the War departments in testing
various gases on insect pests of grow
ing plants and those that infest stored
grain, but ii. has not vet been found
advisable to recommend anything to
take the place of. hydrocyanic-acid gas
or carbon bisulphide.
The serious disadvantages of many
of these new gases is that they are
dangerous or very irritating to men,
horses, and mules. and require the use
OF masks and great care IN handling.

SUMMER WEATHER AND FLIES
Many Calves Can Be Saved II Given
Careful Attention and Kept in
Shaded Pens.

Hot weather and flies ruin a great
many calves 1t is advisable to pro-
tect the young animals very carefully
during the fly season. Spring calves
are never allowed by some breeders
to pasture the first summer, but are
kept in shaded pens away from the
heat and flies. Fall calves, likewise,
are not allowed pasture during the hot
days, but are turned out at night into
small paddocks or exercise pens. I'm
less the calf Is getting plenty of grain,
washy grass may do 1t more harm
than good.

KEEP HOE GOING IN GARDEN
Success Of Vegetable Crops Depends
Greatly on CuItivation--PIan
to Keep Weeds Out.

Much of the success of vegetable
culture depends on keeping the hoe
going. Never miss a chance when the
ground is in a semimoist condition.
That is just the very best time for the
work. Keep stirring as deeply as
possible between the rows of all young
growing vegetables to open up the
soil and lay it ready for the action of
sun and air BY this process weeds
never get foOthold, far less reach the
seeding stage. If this plan is per-
sisted in one can almost see the
vegetables growing. 1t is not hard
work, and 1t is well worth the time it
takes.
