Old Vehicles ir, FAVOR

Yucatan clings to antiquated means
of transportation. which include the
carreta, the coche, the vOlan and the
volante, although the Introduction of
automobiles bids fair to eliminate
these vehicles, says the Detroit News.
The carreta is a heavy two-wheeled
truck; the coche, light four-wheeled,
rubber-tired, rigid-topped carriage,
with body supported on heavy leather
straps, for travel on the rocky ccun-
try roads, similar to the stage coach
of Americas old West, and the voIante,
a very heavy four-wheeled vehicle,
somewhat like victoria, but with the
body supported on heavy leather
straps used for rough travel in the
rural districts.

"NonbreakabIe Cigars"

At Lehigh university, Professors
james Long and Henry Ullman of the
chemistry department have succeeded
in making practically nonhreakable
cigar. The secret is in the binder
made from tobacco leaf stems, which
are first pIlverized and made into II
paper. When used the cigar does not
break easily in the pocket. The idea
VIII provide for the use Of what was
formerly considered waste in the cigar
industry The cigar makers are all
lowed to use very few chemicals in
their work and one difficulty was TO
keep the tobacco stem binder from
tasting like paper.

Carbonic Acid Vapor Is
Very Poisonous in Silo

Carbonic acid gas is formed through
the fermentation of corn in n silo.
This gas is very poisonous. Being
heavier than air. 1t will settle at the
bottom of the silo and, unless some
provision is made to let this flow out
of the s;lo, 1t Is dangerous for persons
to enter. In the case of an above
ground silo, leaving the door open at
the silage level permits this gas to
escape, and there is no danger. With
pit silo this escape is impossible. and
the proper method to pursue is to start
mp the sIlage cutter and blower so rs
to agitate the air and mix good mir
with the carbonic acid. Another
method has been to take branch Of a
tree and stir up this carbonic acid gas
so that 1t will disappear into the air.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP.ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-

to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.

STOMACH WORMS
SHEEP ARE MENACE

OF the internal parasites commo0
to sheep the stomach worm IL q real
menace to the farm sheep industry.
While the parasite Is found in sheep
Of all ages. lambs are principally af-
fected. The older sheep. although
showing no symptoms Of the parasite,
are usually responsible for the spread
Of the disease.
The worm Is threadlike, usually
somewhat coiled, about an inch In
length and from q reddish to dirty
white in color. The parasite may be
found in the fourth stomach Of In
fected animals Mt any time Of year.
The pest Is transferred to healthy ani
mails through pastures. The eggs,
which are excreted from injected ami
mails In the feces. hatch in from
twelve to twenty-four hours In ten
to fourteen days the parasites reach
the embryo stage. crawl to 4 blade
Of grass where they are eaten by the
sheep.
There are no visible tiagnostic
symptoms by which ono can dis
tinguish the disease from other In
ternal parasitic diseases. A post
mortem examination of a sick or re-
Gently dead animal will show the
presence or absence of the parasites.
If present, the worms will be found
near or imbedded In the walls of the
fourth stomach. In general, the
symptoms of internal parasites Of any
Kind are dullness or lack Of thrift
In the animal followed by diarrhea.
Eradication requires u combination
of rotation Of pastures and medical
treatment. Infected pastures may be
made safe by keeping sheep and cat
tie Off from them for year. Burn
Ing over the pasture or cropping II
one season is also satisfactory. Often
times, infected flocks that can be
moved every two or three weeks to
non-infected pastures show marked
Improvement.
There are three different medical
treatments that may be used salts
factorily, namely: the coal-tar creo-
sote. the nicotine sulphate. and the
blue vitriol Or copper sulphate treat
ment. In case any Of the treatments
are to be used, the flock should be
tasted from twelve to twenty-four
hours before treating and for four
hours afterwards.

Appalling Problem Confronts

Health-physical freedom and full

Avoid stimulants. Avoid the sleepless

Caffein is classified as n poison.
Like strychnin, it is sometimes given
by doctors in cases of heart failure.
The average cup Of coffee contains the
usual dose of caffein administered in
such cases. The alarming foolishness of
taking this poison regularly into the

limitation of health and usefulness as

Softening Waters for
Use by Orchardists
Where Liquid Is Too Hard
Oil Will Separate Out.

prepared By the United States Dspartmsns
Of Agriculturs.)
On account Of the low cost of the
2 per cent lubricat!ng oil emulsion
developed by the United States De
partment of Agriculture for the con-
troll of the San Jose scale. this spray
is coming into extended use by orch
ardists. Inquiries received at the de-
partment Indicate that many of the
waters used in preparing the diluted
spray are more or less hard und cause
the oil to separate from the water.
Fruit growers contemplating the
use of the 2 per cent homemade
emulsion or commercial products made
according to the government formula
should ascertain whether the water
to be used for spraying purposes is
sufficiently hard to cause the separa
tion Of the oil and water when diluted
In the spray tank. This can be read
lily determined by mixing three tea
spOonfuls Of the homemade stock
in pint of the water to be used
In glass jar and placing 1t aside
for u few hours. If no oil rises to
the top, the water does not require
softening. If, however. the oil separ-
ates out, the hardness of the water
must be corrected II effective results
are to be secured In the control of
the scale. The water can be soft
ened in different ways, but a con-
venient md inexpensive method Is to
make some weak bordeaux mixture
for use In the spray. The bordeaux
should be made according to the fol.
lowing formula:
Bluestone ................... 1 pound
Water SO gallons
Add the bordeaux mixture to the
spray tank while filling with water
adding just before the tank is full
six gallons of the stock oil emulsion
required to give the two per cent of
oil in 200 gallons of spray. The spray
should be kept well agitated during
application. The bordeaux mixture
made from one pound Of bluestone
and one pound of lime is the proper
amount for 200 gallons of spray. When
less quantities of the spray are re-
quired, as so gallons. Il pound of
bluestone and Il pound Of lime will
make sufficient bordeaux.

Dehorning Makes Stock
Farming More Pleasant

Feeders shipped to market often
sustain losses from fighting in crowd
ed cars when not dehorned. In short,
dehorning is one Of the little Jobs that
makes farming more pleasant and
profitable and one that should be done
when there is least danger of the
wounds becoming infected. Flies tend
to irritate the exposed cuts and some
times cause trouble. Extremely cold
weather is also unfavorable. Conse-
quently, the humane and economical
method is to treat the buttons when
they are first found on the head Of the
young calf.
