The HOUSEWORK
PROBLEM

Something like a million people at
the present time are receiving unem-i
ployment doles from the British gcSV-
eminent, but the domestic help TSrob-t
lem is almost as desperate tlnere ws !
in the United States. We have taken
the two paragraphs below FROM re-
cent but separate issues of the Lon
don Times;
"We have in England the extra
ordinary spectacle of innumerable
homes made wretched for the lack
Of adequate domestic help; innumer-
able housewives with ruined health
and broken horsepower due to over
strain and practically innumerable
unemployed girls and women who
could supply the need. The truth is
that the modern girl hates service,
| because it interferes with her liberty,
and is in some way absurdly consid-
cred degrading. Wise employers
are doing what they can to remove
| this reproach. Meanwhile the tax
payer should not suffer because the
stigma exists. Mrs. Lily Watson,

phoning to registry offices with a
view to engaging at once a kitchen
maid, or, failing this, an unframed
girl, provided she be intelligent In
each case the answer came, Sorry,
Madam, we have none on our books.
Then 1 took up The Times and read
your article describing the unemploy-
ment of about a quarter of a million
young people. There must be some
thing wrong with your powers of or
~ganization, and also there must be
a total lack of effort on the part
of the responsible authorities to enlist
the help of existing centers of EN-.
ployment. There must be a million
households suffering a shortage of al
least M servant, Judging by my
own case. Every mistress Of a house
could do with one additional maid
be she experienced OF not. Their
why are all these girls unemployed

A LENGTHY LIST.

Secretary of War Weeks is having
compiled a list of "don'ts" from the
experiences of those connected with
war time activities. Men who served
on the war industries board, the pri-
critics board, and similar agencies,
r comforting with war department
officials and pointing out the things
that should be avoided in the event Of
a future war emergency. Judging
from the records of some of the war
bureaus, like the airplans production
division, the shipping board under
Democratic auspices, and the divi-
sion that was supposed to produce ar
tillery, the don't" list will be a
lengthy one.

WHILE R ID is AWAY.

Our Democratic friends are repeat
ing with glee the news report that
the city of Marion, Ohio, cannot pay
it's debts. The fact is supposed by
them to be a reflection upon Nh.
Harding, who halls from Marion. AS
a matter of fact, the present prica-
ment of the city serves an opposite
purpose. AS long as Harding was a
resident of Marion and giving part Of
his attention to it's municipal affairs,
it got along s~plendidly. When Hard
ing became the chief administrator Of
the business affairs of the nation,
the national income would not pay ex-
penses. Under his leadership the
expenses have been reduced and the
present outlook is that there will be
a surplus in the treasury at the end
of the fiscal year June 80.
The rest of the country would like
to let Marion have the benefit OF
Mr.. Harding's aid but for the fact
that the federal government needs
him more than does his home city.
The nation will need his managerial
ability for the remainder of his pres
cnt term and then for four years
more. By that time the affairs OF
the government will be in such good
shape that we can spare him either
to return to Marion or to go 'bacl
to the farm of his childhood days.
Marion's loss has been the nations
gain. We are sorry for Marion, bui
the change has been a great benefit
to the nation.

Important That Horses
Receive Liberal Ration

During the working season when
horses are performing heavy work, 1t
is very important that they receive a
liberal ration Of grain and roughage.
Opinions differ greatly regarding the
amount and kind Of feed a horse
should receive when performing hard
work. Corn and oats, mixed, make
very acceptable grain feed. A good
combination Of these two feeds Is two
bushels Of oats to one bushel of corn.
A general rule that will give good re-
suits is to feed about IL pounds Of
grain to every 100 pounds Of horse at
hard work. One gallon Of grain mix
ture three times a day Is about the
proper amount for 1,200-pound horse.
approximately one pound of good
quality hay per day per one hundred
pounds OF live weight Is sufficient. The
amount of hay to be fed will neces-
sarily vary somewhat with the kind
and quality available. Where horses
are turned on night pasture, they
should have access to hay at least dur
ing the noon hour Plenty Of water Is
very essential to good success with
work horses. They should have ac-
cess to clean water in the morning, at
noon and during the night.

GIRLS STUDY HOME MAKING

That every girl going to school
should take home economics with her
other work is the belief of Miss Lulu
Robertson, head Of the department Of
home training in the Idaho Technical
Institute Miss Robertson declares
that the increasing numbers that are
studying sewing, cooking, and millin-
cry at the Tech this year indicates
that girls are coming back to this be-
lief themselves.
One Of the first big practical les
sons in cooking and serving was CIV
en- the Tech classes October IL when
they served a banquet to over two
hundred druggists attending the con-
vention Of the Idaho Pharmaceutical
association. In the work Of hat-mak-
ing the girls are able to make their
own hats at a saving Of three-fourths
Of the ordinary cost II purchased. :,

Working Safeguards to
Keep Out tuberculosis

How to select cows or bull with Il
minimum Of risk In obtaining animals
infected with tuberculosis is one Of
the most important questions the be-
ginning dairyman and many small
diaries have to answer. There is no
infallible rule, but there are three
good working safeguards that are
practical. They are:
1. So far as possible buy only from
herds that are accredited by the United
States Department Of Agriculture as
being free from tuberculosis, and buy
only from persons with a reputation
for square dealing.
2. Insist on cattle being bought sub
ject to retest for tuberculosis 90 days
after they are delivered to you.
3. Keep all recently purchased ami
mails separate from your herd until
you have a favorable report on the
retest.

Select Breeding Males
as Soon as Practicable

The selection of breeding males for
next season should begin as soon as
they can be distinguished from the
pullets. The Missouri experiment
station bred up great flock Of layers
In few years simply by selecting the
cockerels that crowed first and the
pullets that laid first for breeding
purposes. II one does not trap-nest
It is difficult to select the pullets from
large focks But few minutes spent
with the cockerels early on a clear
morning will readily distinguish the
more advanced males. A peeping red
comb - the first indication; and a
squeahy crow is the second.
The exceptional cockerels Of the
Leghorns and other lighter breeds will
start to crow at about six weeks The
heavier breeds usually take from
eight to nine weeks. These early
Growers should be marked by wing
bands or leg bands and given special
attention until maturity.
A few minutes spent In observing
the males at this age will repay the
breeder many times over for his
trouble

Black Knot Most
Serious Disease
Must Be Carefully Watched
and Controlled by
Spraying.

There is a disease of plum tree:
that bears the very descriptive name
of black knot. 1t is observed on the
twigs of plum trees, and sometimes
on cherries, where it causes knoi
like a swelling that is olive green In
color in spring and black in the fall
Where the disease appears on limbs
the swelling may extend up and down
the branch for as much as a foot
while on fruiting spurs it may exist
as knot no larger than grain of
wheat.
Caused by Fungus.
Black knot is caused by fungus
that affects the wood, causing it to
swell into the rough, deformed places,
1t is regarded as serious, destructive
disease, and one that must be care
fully watched and kept under control.
Damson plums are more subject to
black knot and varieties of the tri-
fora group the least liable to suffer.
Spores Of the fungus are liberated
In spring from the gals formed the
year before. When infection takes
place the knots may be observed In
the fall, but they are more conspicu-
GUS in the spring. With the beginning
Of growth in spring the knot swells
rapidly and bursts the bark, which at
that time may uncover a yellowish sur
lace which rather quickly turns to 4
vslvety dark green color. The knot
then Is covered with q mass of sum-
mer spores, which are carried by the
wind to spread the disease. Toward
fall the knot turns black and develops
a new crop Of spores that are not lib
Grated until the following spring.
These are called winter spores and
differ very much in their origin from
the summer spores.
Most satisfactory Control.
While spraying may be a safeguard
tory control Of black knot is to prune
off and Immediately burn the infected
twigs and limbs. When this is done
In the fall or winter, the source Of in
lection is removed. In doing this
pruning, 1t must be remembered that
the tiny, little knots 50 easy to over
look on the fruit spurs, are capable
Of keeping UP the infection. Watch
for the little knots on the twigs, and
cut them out. Burn all Of the prun-
ings at once, otherwise they will lib
crate spores just the same as if they
had not been cut off.

It Is Most Important
to Grade Milk Itself

While the practice Of scoring barns
and the conditions under which milk
is produced, has brought about re-
markable improvement in the milk Of
fered for consumption, 1t is more Inn
portant to grade the milk itself ac-
cording to reports made at the general
experiment station. In the control Of
milk emphasis should be placed on the
quality Of the milk itself as shown by
the bacterial count, flavor, butterfe
content and dirt. Exercising control
over the quality Of the milk automati
cally controls the conditions under
which it is produced. Much evidence
is available to show that contamina-
ton of milk from the barn and COW is
relatively unimportant as compared
with the possibilities of the large num-
bers Of bacteria getting into the milk
from utensils.

Clean, Sweet Milk Aim
of Wisconsin Dairymer

Clean, sweet milk is the first essen
tial to cheese factory success, declares
j. l.. Sammis Of the dairy department
ture.
Here are his ten commandments for
cheese makers, dairy farmers, and
COW testers:
l. Modern methods of farm cleanli-
ness and factory milk inspection in
| sure success.
2. Milk cans, pals, strainers, and
milking machines should be cleaned
and scalded thoroughly every time
used. Neglect causes sure trouble.
8. Old, battered, open-seamed, or
rusty utensils cannot be properly
cleaned, and should be repaired If pos
sible. or replaced with new.
4. Never carry milk can into the
barn. In the morning, place the cans
on the wagon, outside the barn, with
the strainer on top, ready to start for
the factory as soon as the milk Is
drawn and strained.
s. Night milk must be cooled quick
ly on the farm. Put the milk can into
the cold water tank, so that each pail
of milk will begin to cool as soon as
1t is strained into the can. Stir the
milk in the can frequently. Pump
fresh, cold water into the tank, be-
fore leaving for the night. Cool the
milk to the temperature of cold well
water In one hour.
6. Feed silage and dusty seeds after
milking. Change a cows feed gradu-
ally.
7. Keep cows, barn, yard, utensils.
and the mixers hands clean.
s. Use horse sense about clean
milk, even If you drive no horse.
9. The cheese makers at the facto-
ries can inspect every can of milk
daily with the modern incubator and
methylene blue test, and show by the
results the sanitary condition and
cleanliness Of every patrons milk. See
that your factory has this test In daily
use.
TO- Cow testing association men,
bers are leaders Their influence and
the testers should start the cleaner
milk" campaign in every community.

Dampness or Draughts in
Hen House Cause Roup

Dampness or draughts in the poul-
try house cause roup. Isolate the sick
birds. Remove as much Of the &C.
cumulations in the nostrils as possible.
Rub the head Of the sick hen with
camphorated grease. A coal tar dis
infectant is useful in treating, and es,
pecially preventing roup. The success
with most roup cures depends on treat
ing the bird with a cold and curing the
cold before the devitalized condition Of
the hen makes q cure impossible.

TALES OF THE
OLD FRONTIER
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON
THE FATE OF A TRAITOR
*t'* s+sE.%**
q 1929, Western Newspaper Union.l

THE FATE OF A TRAITOR
ITO THE keelboatnen who once piled
L their trade on the Mississippi rivel
might we'll go the doubtful honor OF
being the toughest men on the old
frontier. When they were not bat
Ting with river pirates or their hated
rivals, the crews of flatboats and RATS,
and-tumble combats among themselves.
Perhaps the toughest Of them all was
Mike Fink.
Heartless as he was in many ways,
Fink was strongly devoted to VIII
Carpenter and Frank Talbeau, his
companions on the famous Ashley
Henry fur trading expedition up the
Missouri in 1922. The three men
Quarreled frequently, but they always
signified that their differences were
ended by peculiar rite. One would
set cup Of whisky on his head and
let the other shoot 1t off as a test Of
friendship and proof Of the truce.
In the north country they met q
half-breed girl whom both Carpenter
and Fink wooed. She gave herself to
Carpenter and Fink maddened by this
defeat In love, challenged Carpenter
to prove that he was also the better
man in fight. Again Carpenter was
the victor.
This fight cleared the atmosphere
somewhat, but when Fink still seemed
resentful, Talbeau suggested the rite
Of shooting the cup" On the toss Of
q coin Fink won the right to shoot and
when Carpenter looked into his eyes
he knew that his friend meant to
murder him. But he placed the cup Of
whisky on his head and stood facing
his slayer fearlessly. Fink took care
full aim and fired. At the report Car
penter crumpled to the ground, shot
squarely between the eyes,
Fink protested that the fata, shot
was an accident, but Talbeau was only
half-convinced. A short time later
Fink, while in his cups, confessed that
he had killed his friend deliberately.
Talbeau was merciless. He disarmed
the traitor and drove him forth into
the barren lands to the east. There for
days he followed Fink and whenever
the doomed man stopped to rest or to
search for the water which would
satisfy his torturing thirst, the spiteful
crack of Talbeau's rifle drove him on
and on. Finally one day Talbeau lost
sight Of his man, but little later he
came upon huddled figure from which
the croaking ravens tapped slowly
away as he approached. Will Carpen-
ter had been avenged.
