For Success With Bees
Furnish Plenty of Room

In order to be successful with bees,
swarms must be kept down, and pow
erful, vigorous colonies built up. One
of the secrets of swarm control is to
give the big colonies an additional hive
so there Will be plenty of room and
the queen can keep on laying eggs
and not have to loaf until some OF
the eggs hatch to make room for more.
Bees are Industrious. AS long as they
have work TO do and things to work
with they are satisfied, but just as
soon as the hive is full and they are
forced to loaf they become restless
and are no longer contented and trou-
Bile starts.

Much Milk Lost
During Summer
Best Plan Is to Reduce BAG.
terial Count by Carefully
Cleaning Cows Body.

The quantity Of milk spoiled through
souring during the summer can be
reduced by the simple precautlon Of
having the cows clean at milking time.
advises F. @ Button, professor Of dali
ry Industry, New Jersey state college
of agriculture.
The mud. manure, scurf and loose
hairs that accumulate on the cows
body all carry q considerable number
Of bacteria A single gram (about
1-2S ounce) of fresh COW manure has
been found to contain 100000 bac-
teria. Since this material often Con-
stitutes large proportion Of the filth
on a cows body the Importance Of
cleaning the animal can readily be
seen.
Experiments with dirty cows have
shown that washing the teats and I'D
ders will reduce the bacterial count
from $1,000 to about 1000 per cubic
centimeter When cows are cleaned
In addition to having their teats and
udders washed, the bacterial count
may be reduced to 1900. This assumes
that the utensils in both cases are
clean and sterile.
Boards of health are becoming strict
er In their requirements of what con-
stitutes clean milk. For the protec-
tIon Of the public they demand that
bacterial counts be kept within rea-
sonable limits. This, besides the fact
that clean milk does not sour as quick
Iy as bacteria-laden milk, makes It a
point of good business for the dairy
man to thoroughly groom his cows.
Clipping long hairs from the belly,
udder and TANKS facilitates proper
cleaning. Grooming is best done an
hour or so before milking. as this will
leave time for the dust to settle.
The best results can be secured only
when udder and teats are washed or
wiped with q clean. damp cloth, just
previous to milking, When udders and
teats are soiled with manure or mud,
washing with clean water is necessary.
Water should be changed frequently.
so that clean supply is always in
use After washing, surplus moisture
should be removed by wiping with a
dry or slightly damp cloth. Then there
will be no surplus water to drip into
the milk pail, or to wet the mixers
bands. When milking starts, the I'D
ders, teats and tanks should be clean
and slightly damp.

 "Dedicated to the United States Army Air Services officers, in recognition to the first round-the- world flight, which began April 6, 1924 and ended September 23, 1924, at Sand Point Airdrome, on this field <"
 Then followed the names of the flyers, including Major Fred Mar tin and his mechanic, Sergt. Har- vey, whose plane, Seattle, was totally wrecked in Alaska.
 The polished granite column is fifteen feet high, three feet wide at the base, and tapers to two feet in width at the top. Huge bronze wings, which symbolize bird aIighting at the end of long flight are attached to the monument.

SAYS STRANGE FORCE
 DROVE HIM TO KILL
PARIS PEND MAY HAVE BEEN HYPNoTlZED, SAY POLICE
 INVESTIGATORS
FRIEND IS HELD ON SUSPICION
Latter Confesses Hatred of Victim For AIenating the Affections
 of His Sweetheart.

PARIS.-Arrested for shooting dead his compatriot, Vincente Maffari, an Italian shoemaker named Attilio Scetti declared:
 q had to kill Maffari. I was driven by an unknown force which has talk en hold of me and guided my finger to the trigger. It is a will stronger than my will that has made me a crimi- nal"
 His strange words and general de- meanor led the police to the conclu- sion that what had appeared an or dinary crime resulting from a quar- rel between hot-blooded Southerners was perhaps not such an everyday affair as they had at first thought. Inquiry resulted in evidence that the shoemaker was a most peaceable character of calm, philosophic dis position, who had only a very slight acquaintance with his slayer. Finally one of the most extraordinary cases was unraveled which Paris justice has had to deal with in long while.
 One of the shoemaker's best friends and boon companions, Paolo Mattioli, was discovered to have been the mur- dered mans bitter enemy whom he had frequently threatened with ven geance for having robbed him of the affections of his sweetheart, beau tiful young Italian woman. It was also found that the weapon with which Maffari had been killed be- longed to Mattioh. Finally it was re- vealed that for months past Paolo Mattioli had been initiating the shoe maker into the secrets of spiritualism and hypnotism.
 The police theory is that during these seances he slowly developed and fostered in Scetti the desire to kill and finally gave him the arm wherewith to carry out the crime. Scetti, they say, appears to have be- come completely subjuguated by his stronger-willed compatriot
 l Mattioli has been arrested charged with "complicity in voluntary homi- eide with reconciliation" The shoe maker is to be mentally examined in order to establish his moral re- sponsibility. The hypnotist, while vigorously denying that he inspired the murder, nevertheless cnfesses ha- tired of the victim.

GREATER ATTENTION TO RURAL LIFE PROBLEMS
 PLEADED BY CATHOLIC

DE SMAINES, la, Sept. 30.-Dele- cations to the national conference of Catholic charities, in session yester- day, were urged to give greater at tention to rural life problems in an address by Rev. Edwin O-Hara of Flu gene, Ore.
 The church which expects to minister to the cities of the future must begin at the well-springs of population-in the rural communities, the Rev. Father O'Hara said, point ing out that there are 2,500,000 more children under 10 years of age in the country than in the city.
 Churches of this country, he said, |are overwhelmingly city churches, al- though between one-fourth and one fifth of the Catholic population of the United States is rural.
 Father O'Hara declared conditions for welfare work in rural communi- ties were ideal He advocated coop erative rural organizations for so- cial service as we'll as for business purposes.
 The clergy's support of cooperation endeavor in numerous countries of Europe, he said, had gone long way toward with planning the advance of socialism
