an hour and then returned to the
navy yard, and that afternoon was
again in drydock. The grand old
Merrimac was indeed a picture to
behold. Her smokestack was filled
with holes and her sides showed
where the shots from the Federal

covering the developments during his
life in the House:
I'VE have had so many of these

But it is compliment that I appre-

Speaker, for his sentiments, which I
fully reciprocate."

more than 100 of my colleagues who
had not been born in 1872; and as
have watched you as you took your
places as leaders in committees and
on the floor in debate, some of you
already called veteran legislators, I
feel that 1872 must have been a long
way back in the history Of the House
and tho country, for there have been
new names added to the United States,
with a whole great empire covering
the plains and the mountains of the
west now represented on this floor.

ELECTRICITY IN FEW HOMES
Only 81 Per Cent In the United States
Enjoy Modern Method Of
Illumination.

According to the figures gathered by
the Electrical World less than 81 per
cent of the homes in the United States
enjoy the comfort of electric lighting.
Think Of it--almost two-thirds Of our
homes are without such modern equip
ment.
And yet in Italy only slightly more
than II per cent Of the homes are
lighted by electricity; less than "A per
cent Of France, II per cent in the
United Kingdom and Ireland and
about 80 per cent in Japan, which
leads all other nations with the excep-
ton of the United States with it's
nearly 81 per, cent-little enough. as
It is.
Surely here is business for electra
gists for years to come. The wiring
alone for lighting the homes of our
own. country will amount to consid-
erably more than billion dollars.
While 1t used to be that this vast sum
seemed inconceivable, it now easily
fits into almost any picture we would
visualize.
Say $1,0OO,OOO,O00 would take care
Of the wiring for half Of the homes in
the United States yet to be wired.
Then that is merely the start. for heat
and power. as well as light, are becom-
ing more and more popular in the
home, and the appliances furnishing
these features would add more billions
to the business.
In recent survey Of it's members
made by the Association of Electra
gists it was found that almost go per
cent of them carry stock of lighting
fixtures and make a display of them.
It is reasonable to assume that of the
others almost 40 per cent at some time
or other sell lighting fixtures when
they wire the home for lighting. The
lighting fixture business. then. is large
~ In the hands of the electragist, and
thus billions of dollars more will come
to him as the saturation point Of cleo
trio lighting in the home is reached.

U. S. NOW USES OLD PALACE
Mansion Used BY Spanish Governor Of
st. Augustine for 200 Years Now
a Customs House.

Set among tropical trees, through
which one gets glimpse Of the SHIN
mering bay beyond the sea wall. and
beside the cathedral, with its quaint
Moorish belfry. stands the old Spanish
governors mansion, now used as post
Office and customs house at st. Angus
tine, Fla.
The palace was built in 1903 by
Gonzalo Mendez, and purchased by, the
king of Spain as a dwelling for the
Spanish governor general. For 200
years the flag of Spain floated over st.
Augustine; and then from 1853 to 1888
the British occupied the city, and II
was the colors of Great Britain that
waved In the gentle breeze that was
waited from Matanzas bay.
Again Spain came into possession of
Florida and it was not until July 10,
1921, that the United States acquired
the land of Ponce de Leon, and since
that date the Stars and Stripes have
waved over the quaint old town.-De-

Every Dairyman Should
Know Profitable Cows

Every owner Of dairy cows should
know If his cows are giving enough
milk or butterfat to make profit over
the cost Of feed" says A. c. Baer,
professor Of dairying at Oklahoma A.
and NJ. college "a scale to weigh the
milk in the barn can be bought for 81.
It takes only a few minutes a day
extra time to weigh the milk from
each COW and write the weight on a
milk sheet tackled up in the barn.
Once a month a sample of milk can
be tested. Any creamery. ice cream
factory, or cream station will usually
be glad to do this testing Every
school house can be equipped with a
tester at very little expense and the
boys at school can do the testing.
"a profitable COW should produce
5000 pounds of milk or 200 pounds Of
butteifat in 300 days. Are your cows
all profitable? Why not find out? Is
milking dairy cows business propo-
sition with you? If so. why not APP
ply business methods? Write the
dairy department, Oklahoma A. and M.
college for information"

Wheat Is Excellent Feed
for Chicks and LAYERS

Wheat is good feed for young
chickens and laying hens and may be
fed with profit when the price is low,
says D. c. Kennard. associate in ami
NAL industry, Ohio experiment station.
The grain mixture may be Of equal
parts Of corn and wheat, and the mash
Of parts ground corn, of medium
ground wheat, and of hlgh-grade
meat scraps or tankage.
If it is desired to use oats, the mix
ture suggested is corn 4. wheat 4, and
oats 2 parts, and mash of ground
corn parts, medium ground wheat 3,
Underground oats 2 and meat scraps
or tankage 2 parts.
Any change of feed for laying hens
should be made gradually, it was
pointed out, as a sudden change may
seriously affect egg production.

Good Sires Increase
Herd Production Rapidly

Further proof of the manner in
which producing dairy herd. may be
built up by using pure bred dairy bulls
on common cows is afforded by the
results of several years breeding
experiment conducted at the South
Dakota experiment station. The foun-
dalton cows of the experiment repre-
sented blending Of Hereford and
Shorthorn blood, each COW being sired
by pure bred beef bull and out of a
grade COW. Each Of the foundation
cows was bred repeatedly to the dairy
herd bulls In the station herd and the
heifers were retained and bred to the
dairy bulls, thus producing second gen.
Grafton crosses which had IS per cent
dairy blood. Milk and butterfat rec
ords were kept for each lactation peri
cd Of the grade foundation cows and
their graded-up offspring.
The average yearly production Of
the grade beef cows was found to be
4,155 pounds of milk and 40 pounds Of
butterfat. The first generation heif-
ers produced by these cows to the
service of pure bred dairy sires made
records averaging 6,707 pounds of milk
and 260 pounds Of fat. The first cross
Of dairy blood therefore brought an in
crease Of 1852 pounds Of milk and 90
pounds Of butterfat in each heifer's
yearly production. Expressed in per
cent, the first cross heifers produced
81 per cent more milk and 80 per cent
more butterfat than their dams.

Tree AInhahet.

On the estate of Sir William Geary
at Tonbridge there Is an avenue of
alphabetical trees, which is being add
ed to by a new set, which are being
planted in pairs on each side of the
existing avenue at intervals of ten
yards, beginning with alder. ash, birch.
catalpa, dayidia, elm, fir, and so on
through the alphabet to yulan and
zeikova.
In the Weser district in Germany
there is another fashion In trees which
is entirely commercial one. The
trees have a red and blue tint,
which is the result of experiments
in dyeing. Each tree Is hung with a
receptacle containing blue or red
coloring. This is conducted through
a rubber tube into the roots of the
tree. In about a month the coloring
matter makes its way through all the
branches. The trees die off and are
felled. the wood being used for many
purposes. but especially for making
furniture.

Thunderstorm Doesn't
Sour Cream, Says Iowa

Folks who are trying to deliver
sweet cream to their creameries COM
plain now and then that thunder
storms sour the cream.
The dairy department at Iowa State
college says that thunderstorm will
have no effect on cream that is prop
erly kept at low temperature. For
example, If milk and cream are kept
In cans In a cooling tank through
which flows all water pumped for the
live stock, thunderstorm will not af-
feet either of them. The installation
Of such a cooling tank is not difficult
nor very expensive and 1t will make
possible added income from the dairy
herd through a better price for sweet
cream.

Most Troublesome
Pest in Orchards
Oyster-Shell Scale Attacks
Apple and Other Fruit
Trees.

The commonest, most wide spread
and best-known scale insect in the
United States attacking not only apple
and other orchard trees but about 80
different kinds of shade trees, is the
oyster-shell scale, so called because
the form of the adult. female scale is
not unlike that Of an oyster shell.
Life History of Scale.
The life history Of the oyster-shell
scale may be used as an illustration
for the whole group. The insects pass
the winter as eggs under the old fe-
male scales, these eggs having been
laid the preceding fall. The eggs
are very tiny. white, and vary from
30 to 100 in number. In the spring
from middle May to middle June,
these eggs hatch into young scale in
sects. The newly hatched young
scales are tiny, six-legged, active crea-
lures. Soon after Matching they leave
the old mother scale and wander away
in search of the new and tender
growths of the tree.
Iney may spread not only Dy crawl
ing, but by being carried on the bodies
of. insects or feet Of birds. When
they have finally settled down they in
sert their beaks into the tree and be-
gin drawing out sap. They soon lose
their legs and antennae and their
bodies become covered with white,
waxy fibers. These fibers soon mat
down to form the scale covering. AS
the insect grows the scale gradually
assumes its characteristic oyster
shell shape, within (which the legless.
eyeless insect is to be found. 30
Change Into Flies.
The male scale insects start out
like the female scale insects, but when
they have formed a scale and made
partial growth they change into tiny
winged flies which emerge from under
the scales.
The control Of scale insects of all
kinds is chiefly by spraying, and this
operation may be carried on at two
entirely different periods of the year
and for two entirely different pur-
poses. In one case the spraying is
done when the trees are not in foil
age, that is, in the late autumn or
early spring, and these sprays are
known as dormant sprays because of
the dormant condition Of the trees.
