HEARD I'M A THUNDERSTORM 2

The relation of weather conditions
to wireless audibility Is point of in
terest to the Weather Bureau of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, which, although without facili-
ties of it's own for conducting investi-
cations In this field, has cooperated
in various ways with other agencies
also interested In conditions affecting
wireless telephony.
AS result of work done by Nebras-
ka Wesleyan University, based on
thunderstorm reports furnished by the
Weather Bureau, the investigators
reached the conclusion that there is
no relation between barometric press
ure and audibility, and that conditions
at the sending station do not influence
the audibility at distant receiving
station. High static frequency, high
static audibility, and nearby thun-
destrom area, however, tend to reduce
the audibility at the receiving station

The pus which runs from a boil,

The pus which runs from boil,
while 1t contains many dead germs,
contains also, unfortunately, some
live ones, which, being now away from
the seat of conflict, are no longer at
tackled by their enemy, the defensive
cells of the body and hence are in a
position to start another invasion,
which they are very apt to do If they
get lodged in another hair follicle.
This is the principal reason why the
poor victim just we'll of boil is quite
likely to have another one soon.
The best way to guard against a
REPETITION Of the process is to see that
the discharges from boil are not
allowed to spread over the skin, and
that they are confronted by an enemy
outside the body which will also kill
them without doing any harm to the
skin, as, for instance, an antiseptic To-
ton Of an appropriate nature, which
may be used to saturate the dressing
into which the pus is being abb
sorbed, and to wash the surrounding
parts.
The most intelligent treatment of
boil may be outlined as follows: On
it's first appearance, while still very
small, touch it with little tincture
Of idone, which is quite penetrating,
and will get down into the follicle and
will kill part Of the germs that are
causing the trouble, enough perhaps
so that the rest can be overcome by
the first phalanx of the defending
cells, and the process be terminated
before any appreciable slough has
formed, and the products Of the con-
flict will be absorbed and carried off
into the circulation, to be eliminated

Lewls County Passes Goal.

The modest goal Of 20 purebred fe-
males adopted year ago by Lewis
county for her 1922 dairy project, was
exceeded several times. Seventy
seven head of females and % pure
bred bulls were brought in during the
year. Twenty-four demonstrations in
live stock improvement we're started,
and II meetings were held in which
methods of improvement were ex-
planned. -Four tours Of successful
dairy farms were held and IA judg-
ing demonstrations given. Perhaps
one of the most valuable undertake
ings of the year was the formation of
a contrasting association last Febru-
airy, when 545 cows were signed up.
Twelve or Is COWS were discarded as
Improbable, as result of turning
the searchlight on individual produc-
ton, and the feeding and manage
ment practices of members toned up
generally. I

Women Save Thousands

Washington farm women report
they saved ss5,ee5 on clothes they
made following instructions given by
the clothing project work of the State

through then 1t is best to trim seam
close to hemstitching. This, however,
is not overly strong. Otherwise trim
off frayed edges of seam and over
cast.
Plain seam-The two right sides Of
the cloth are placed together with
edges even, basted and stitched the
desired distance from the edge Press
seam OPEN Now the edges Of this
seam are raw, So oen Of the follow
ing finishes may be used to keep the
seam from fraying.
Overcasting-This makes flat fin
ish and if carefully done makes enat
finish as we'll. The stitches should
be even and deep enough to hold in
well-the usual spacing is "Twice as
far apart as they are Deep"
BindIng-Silk binding tape may be
used. This comes in black, white and
colors. A bound seam is apt to be
thick and often does not press out
very we'll. Fold the binding length
wise-either crease this well with the
fingers or else run hot iron over it.
The seam is slipped between the fold
ed edges and sewed down with a fine
running stitch.
PInking-This is quick, easy fin
ish and is used on firm materials
which do not fray when worn. This
may be done with the scissors, notch.

intervals or it may be done on a reg.

Growing What You Eat
Prepared by the Extension Service
State College of Washington.

The ration should be balanced, with
out being too rich. The grain should
be clean, wholesome and free from
smut, mold or mildew. The mash
should be bulky, without too much
fiber. 1t should analyze about 15 per
cent of protein. Where green feed,
fresh air and exercise are present
in unlimited quantities, the mash
might run as high as 20 per cent pro-
TEN, or Is per cent in addition to
milk. But rich protein feed without
unlimited fresh air, exercise and
green feed, is sure to stunt the chicks.
Now your feed is therefore, just as
important as what you feed.
Mash must Of necessity be fed in
hoppers, where the pullets can have
what they want without much exer-
ton. For that very reason grain
should be fed in litter just as soon as
the chicks show tendency to scratch.
This litter should be about an inch
deep during the first week, or ten
days, but, when the pullets are six
months old, if it is dry and fluffy, 1t
should be six inches deep.
Remember, an idle hen Is weak
hen. Her muscles are soft, her vital
ity low and her production myth.
Train up a pullet in the way she
ho,IId go and when she ia old II will
be easier to keep her going.
Young pullets need little moro
aire each day, little more feed each
day, a little more room each day--in
the house. on the roost and in the
yard.
They must be free from lice, mites
and filth. II they are worth rearing
at all, they are worth rearing well.

WHAT ARE RoILs7

Boils are painful swelling In the
skin due to infection by one of the
varieties of germs that cause ordin-
airy suppuration.
These germs gain access to the
deeper structures of the skin through
the hair follicles and start to multiply
around the root Of the hair. During
their growth they give off toxins,
which are chemical substances poison
Gus to the tissues Of the body, and
as a result of the presence Of this
poison the body cells and tissues in
the immediate vicinity are killed.
When the Infection starts the nat.
ural resistive processes of the con-
omy are brought to bear on this in
vader and certain repair cells are
carried by the blood to that particu-
lar area. These cells contain chem
ical substances antagonistic to the
germs and their poisons, which they
proceed to combat, and this warfare
goes on until enough of the cells,
which are being reinforced by fresh
arrivals all the time, are on the spot
for them to secure the upper hand,
when the infection ceases to spread,
and the invasion stops.
In this warfare many Of the cells,
as we'll as germs are killed, and these
dead cells and germs, together with
some Of the juices Of the tissues, form
tn pus which escapes when the boil
opens.
The GORE" of the boil is that part
of the skin and the tissues beneath
which has been killed by the toxins,
and this being dead, finally sloughs
away, and the place heals, the inf1am-
nation subsiding gradually.

Finishing Sleeve Seam at Armhole. !,

Finishing Sleeve Seam at Armhole.
Bindins-A narrow bias binding is
applied around the armhole of waist
on inside; the sleeve is then basted
in and stitched. Then the binding Is
turned in along raw edges and
hemmed down to the seam This gives
the appearance of French seam.
This is a satisfactory method and may
be used on all kinds of materials. II
the waist material seems too heavy
for binding, a lighter weight silk or
cotton Of the same color may be used.
French Seam-Sleeves may be at
tached by means Of a French seam.
This, however, is not very satisfac-
tory way as it must be done with ex-
ceeding care or else the set of the
sleeve will be spoiled or the whole
sleeve seam will have stretched ap-
pearance It is quick method, but
unless very carefully done it Is not
pleasing to either wearer or observer.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1923-05-04
Hearing the PulIets.

The intrinsic value of chick is
fixed when the egg Is laid. If, under
ideal conditions Of rearing and feeding,
a pullet will lay but 100 eggs she is
not worth raising. The good pullet
however, may be ruined before she
goes into the laying house.
If pullets are raised on old ground,
that is, on ground where other pullets
have been raised in years past, they
are likely to be infected with coccid-
iosis. This Is especially true on heavy
clay SOIL If the infection is severe
the chicks will die. If it is light, the
birds may recover; but they will
never be steady layers.
The first requisite, therefore, in
rearing pullets. Is clean soil If you
can not have a new yard, scrape two
or three inches Off the old yard, and
replace it with an equal depth of new
soil. If they are running on a large
yard, and you can not scrape 1t all,
scrape the bare portion close to the
house. This Is always the most heav-
lily infested part of the lot.
The first requisite is freedom from
disease. The second is good health,
freedom from disease, plus vigor and
vitality. A pullet may be disease
free, and still be so stunted, starved
or weakened in the rearing, that she
is worthless; recent experiment
showed that pullets that were only
slightly stunted laid 81 eggs a year
less than their we'll raised sisters.
Keep them growing from the start
This means not only that they be dis
ease free and vermin free, but also
that they be properly housed and fed
