Red Cross First Aid Standards Adopted
 Tn Great Industries

First aid in an emergency which assures the injured competent atten- ton until the doctor arrives Is making marked headway through the work of the Chapters of the American Red Cross In populous centers 314 chap ters conduct first aid classes and last year awarded $500 certificates to stu dents. Eight big telephone companies have enlisted their workers in first aid classes, police and fire departments in large cities are making the course compulsory in their training schools, and through colleges and high schools large groups of students receive in struction The Red Cross also gives this course through Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Y. M. c. A. and similar organ1- zations, and its standard methods have been adopted by railroads, cleo tric and gas companies, mines and In the metal industries. Tho aim of this Red Cross service is to cut down radi- cally the average of 60,000 accidental deaths per year in the United States.

REDUCE DEATH LOSS
IN SHIPPING HOGS

At nine Of the principal live stock
markets during a six-months' period
In 1922 there were received total of
2s.375 dead hogs and 3s,70S in more
or less crippled condition. Very re-
cent reports from the yards at Denver
show that the losses there during the
past two weeks have been extremely
heavy, five or six dead hogs In q car
being nothing uncommon, and In one
Instance thirteen dead hogs were
found in one carload.
In eliminating the losses the first
thing, of course, is to get at the cause.
The minimum load for freight car
Is 1900 pounds. In the case above
where there were thirteen dead hogs
In the load, at the point of origin
this load weighed $4,000 which il 1000
pounds in excess Of the maximum al
lowed by the insurance companies.
The insurance company, of course. re-
fused to meet the loss because the
car was loaded in excess Of their
specified maximum. In most Of the
cars coming into the Denver yards
with dead hogs the cars were over
loaded, so that overlooking is with
out doubt one of the principal
causes of loss in shipping.
There are other factors which cause
losses in shipping during hot weather.
Overlooking at time of loading Is
without question important. A hog
with an empty stomach has a much
better chance of reaching the market
In good condition than one that has
had full feed just before being load
ed. Hogs which are over filled are
very apt to become overheated and
get sick. If the weather Is warm, 1t Is
better to feed little less at the last
regular feeding period before loading.
The shipper should see that the car
Is well cleaned out, especially If 1t has
manure in 1t as manure is very liable
to be cause Of great deal Of heat
In the car. After the car Is well
cleaned, 1t should be bedded down
with two or three inches of sand or
fine gravel; cinders are also good but
possibly not as cooling in the summer
as sand or gravel. Before loading
the bedding should be well wet down.
Ice In gunny sacks hung in the cen
ter of each half of the car will also
help to lower the temperature.
When loading hogs in the summer
time keep In mind that the greatest
cause of death Is due to overload
ing. 1t is better to load little un-
der the 1000 pounds minimum rather
than over It'll. Fl. Smith, assistant
professor animal husbandry. Colorado

Most Important to Keep
Sheep Free From Worms

It is most important to keep sheep
free from tapeworms. These worms
come from ripe segments dropped by
infested sheep on the pastures so that
old, or permanent pastures soon
become tainted for sheep. Lambs
should. so far as possible, have new,
clean grass to go on each spring and
before turning the ewes and lambs
out to grass the ewes should be treat
ed to free them of worms, especially
stomach worms (strongylus haemon-
chus). When sheep are known to be
infested with tapeworms starve them
for 81 hours, then give each sheep one
TO two drains of freshly powdered
kamala, washed down with water
After administering the medicine turn
the sheep into a pen on the floor OF
which slaked lime has been spread to
the depth Of one inch or more. Keep
the sheep there for "a hours.

Dairy Products Perfect
and Economical Food

1t has always been known that milk
and other dairy products were very
healthful and economical foods, but
these facts were not fully realized un.
til scientists made their startling dis.
coveries, within recent years, con.
cerning those mysterious substances
known as vitamins, which are con-
tanned in milk, butter, etc, and which
are absolutely essential to the growth
and health of the old as well as the
young. Milk and other dairy products
are the most perfect Of all foods, and
the dairy cow is the most economical
producer of such food.
Various agencies and organizations,
such as the United States Department
of Agriculture, national, state and
local health organizations. doctors,
nurses, etc, the national dairy coun-
Gil and many commercial organiza-
tions, have given these facts enormous
publicity and advertising, and have
educated the public to greater ap
probation and knowledge of the value
of dairy products.

Tankage Will Increase
Rate of Gain in Hogs

During the summer of 1923 SO hogs
we're carried on 120-day feeding test
by the University of Nebraska to de-
termine If tankage is necessary when
good alfalfa pasture Is available. The
80 pigs. weighing around 81 pounds
apiece, were placed in separate lots.
Two lots were seeded to alfalfa and
the third was dry.
The highest daily gain per head was
made In the alfalfa lot that received
shelled corn and tankage. The gain in
that lot was IA pounds as compared
with .65 pounds In the alfalfa lot re-
ceiving no tankage and 1.25 pounds In
the dry lot where corn and tankage
were fed.
The feed cost per 100 pounds Of
gain ran highest for the pigs on al
lowest on the alfalfa lot fed tankage
The three lots ranked us follows: Al
salfa, shelled corn and tankage, S5.11 j;
dry lot, corn and tankage, $500; al
falfa and shelled corn, $3.50. Prices
at that time on corn were rs cents a
bushel; tankage, s65 ton, and pas.
ture, one-half cent day.
The pigs in the lot which received
no tankage practically destroyed the
alfalfa by roofing. while those receiv.
Ing tankage and alfalfa did not root
at all. 1t was found that tankage
greatly increased the rate of gain, re-
duced the cost Of 100 pounds gain and
saved the pasture.

Apple Growing East

conditions, or for some other reason
which is inherent in the surroundings

With the high costs that enter into
the development and maintenance of
apple orchards, any advantages of site

wide difference in the financial as

"Prose" and "Pro's"

In sporting matters the average
boys erudition is aptly illustrated by
story certain educator is fond of
telling. A teacher was trying to ex-
plain to group of youngsters the re-
spective properties of poetry and
prose. Her audience was rather bored
but she thought she caught glimpse
of understanding on one boys face.
Brightly turning to him she said !:
"Now, Tommy, give me one definition
of prose" "People who get paid for

proved enigmatic to the teacher.

Make Stack Silage When
No Silo Is Available

Andrew Boss, vice director of the
Minnesota experiment station. says
that farmers without silos can pre-
serve green and immature corn by the
stack method of making silage.
C. l.. McNelly, n Minnesota county
agent, has made stack silage for four
seasons on his farm at Mcintosh,
Mimi, and recommends 1t in prefer
ence to bundle fodder corn. He makes
the stack about 20 feet in diameter
and 20 feet high, keeping the center
lower than the outside until the top Is
reached when it should be filled full.
The bundles must be distributed even
ly over the surface with the butts
laid to the outside.
During the winter the top Of the
stack is kept covered with foot or
two of wild hay which can be thrown
back as the silase is taken on In
order to prevent extreme freezing TINS
covering should be replaced after the
davis feed has been thrown down.
Corn preserved in this way will rot
in for about eight inches on the out
side of the stack, but as the butts OF
the stalks only are affected the loss Is
not serious. According to Messrs.
Boss and McNelly the silage cures
somewhat differently from the com
mon corn silage in that 1t seems to
develop less acid. There is sweet
molasses odor and favor which make
II n,,otable for all kinds of live stock.

ing the cost of control measures
amount probably to not less than So :
oVo'ooo, says the United States De.
partment of Agriculture.
Ihis pest has been known for more
than l5O years, is native American
insect, and has demanded the otten-
tioh or horticultural men continuous
~. Many methods have been tried
Tor Its eradication and control but
not until 1915, when the bureau of
entomology began experiments in the
use OF various toxic gasses as u DOS
sible means of control, was any yery
practical method found
Use Paradiehiorobenzine.
In these experiments It was found
that the chemical paradichlorobenzin
for which the abbreviated name "para-
dichlor' is suggested when referred
to as an insecticIde, could be used
successfully in control of the insect.
This chemical is white crystalline
substance having an etherlike odor
which. while harmless to persons and
domestic animals under ordinary CON
ditions, Is poisonous TO insects.
Application of this chemical to
peach trees for the control OF the peach
borer should be made in the fall after
most of the moths have finished their
egg-laying activities, to avoid late in
festation of the trees. The method
consists simply OF applying the chem
ical to the soil around the base of the
tree In a circular band an inch or two
wide, care being taken that the inner
part Of the band is about two inches
from the tree trunk. As soon as the
chemical has been applied, cover it
carefully with several shovelfuls of
dirt, making a cone-shaped mound
around the tree trunk by packing the
earth with the back Of the shovel.
Remove Dirt Mounds.
Under average fall weather condi-
tions most of the chemical under the
soil covering will have eyapOrated in
four to six weeks, killing from 30 to
100 per cent of the borers. 1t is II
good practice to remove the mounds
of dirt some five or six weeks after
application of the chemical.
The "parad'chlor," in the experience
of the bureau of entomology, can be
used without danger of injury on trees
four years of age and oyer-the dose
on four and five-year trees being three
fourths of an ounce per tree, on trees
six years of age and older one ounce
per tree, or, II the trees are unusual
ly large one and one-quarter ounces
may be used.

Grinding Buckwheat for

Buckwheat can best be fed to fat
tening cattle or hogs by grinding II
rather .coarsely and feeding 1t dry
Much better results are secured
where buckwheat forms only about
one-third Of the ration. especially
when fed to hogs. Because of iti
coarse outside hull. buckwheat con
tains too much fiber to give the best
results when fed alone to hogs. The
best results will be secured when II

SCHOOL GRID PLAY
TO END TOMORROW

With the foot ball teams Of West
ern and Central High closing their
1924 campaign yesterday. there re-
mains but one more scholastic game,
that between Dewitt Prep and Con-
zaga tomorrow in the Columbia
Heights inclosure. The victors will
have a good claim on the prep school
title of the District. Play will start
at o'clock.
Dewitt Prep will be without the
services of Sullivan and Twomey, two
of it's most talented players. but II
is expected to extend Gonzaga. The
street institution will be consider
ably weakened too, for several of
it's players are either on the injured
list or ineligible on account of de-
f1cient marks.
Western High was handicapped by
a soggy field in it's game with Man
chester High that won in a 13-to-0
match. Henry Lamar of the George
town school played consistently well
throughout. He was the only local
player to make any headway through
the line. The Red and White gridmen
showed signs of occasional offensive
strength, but the rain-soaked field
marred their performance consider
ably.
Central High was superior in every
respect to the Handley High School
of Winchester, Va, yesterday on the
latter's field. The Blue and White
triumphed. 33 TO 0, with Mike Cor
don running wild against the Vir-
ginians. Wilmer and Byng of Central
also did quite well, while Hillyard,
