Geysers Aid to Farmers

Geysers are proving useful adjuncts
to farming in Iceland. A well-known
dye works in that country linked up
it's factory with water pipes direct
from the hot springs and, after using
the hot water in the color processes
and for heating the factory and the
workmen's homes, conducted 1t
through underground pipes laid in
fields, which. as a result, yielded three
times as much produce as neighboring
fields not so equipped, says the Kansas
City Star.
Although, from time immemorial, the
Icelanders have been familiar with
geysers, only recently have their in.
dustrial uses been seriously consld'
cred
A project now is on foot to supply
Revkjavik with hot water for heating,
bathing and washing purposes from
one of the neighboring hot springs.

Real "Robinson Crusoe"

Alexander Selkirk was an adven-
turer, born in Largo, Scotland, in
1916. He was a skillful seaman and
made several voyages 10 the South
sea, in one of which, having quarreled
with his commander, he was put
ashore on the island of Juan Fernan-
DEE with few supplies. Here he lived
alone for four years and four months,
when he was rescued by Capt. Woods
Rogers. He returned to England in
Iii, and is said to have given his pa
pers to Defoe, who, from them, wrote
the story of Robinson Crusoe." Sell
kird died on the ship Weymouth in
1928.

Turf Natural Filter

Frances experiments with natural
turf have shown that it is an excel
lent material from which to form beds
for the filtering Of sewage. A volume
of between three and four cubic
meters of sewage can be purified
every day for every square meter Of
the surface of the turf. An expert
mental turf filter that has been in use
for more than seven months shows
diminution Of efficiency. If larger
proportion of sewage than that men
toned is employed the filter proves
less effective, but 1t RECEIVERS its pow
er when the amount of sewage Is re-
duced to the proper proportion. Chem
ical analysis and the effects upon fish
put into the filtered water unite in tes-
tifying to the efficiency Of the process.

Forest of Vallornbrosa

The forest of Vallombrosa was
founded In the Twelfth century and
given its name, which literally trans
lated means Swallowed Valley" by
ST. GiovanniO GaulbertO. 1t was
founded as a monastery and retreat
for one of the Benedictine order OF
monks, and from its early inception
the monks took great pride in caring
for cultivatlng and replanting the for
ests, the Detroit News notes.
Use of charcoal in Italy has always
been very heavy because of its almost
universal use for cooking and betting
AT Yallombrosa a large quantity has
always been made, even in the time
of the monks during the Middle ages

French Butter Markets

During the months of June, July
and August the butter markets of Nor
mandy are an interesting sight to the
visitors. The peasants assemble in
the market squares of the various
towns, almost in military formation,
with their baskets filled with large
pats of butter, each done up in the
whltest of cloths. The buyers walk
along the lines and bargain for the
wares, tasting samples before deciding.
If the prospective buyer is satisfied
with the flavor Of one morsel he
knows he may rely on the rest of il
being equally good, for the French
law regarding the adulteratlOn of food
is very strict, and fraudulent seller
is severely dealt with.

duces an enormous excess OF forest

TREATING SEED POTATOES

1. Treat whole potatoe with Cor
rosive sublimate to kill any disease
on the outside of the tubers, such
as scab, Rhizoctonia, or diseases left
on outside Of tubers from decay.
2. Treat the seed as follows: Sc
lect as clean seed as possible and
treat at least two weeks before plant
ing. Wetting the potatoes IL to "a
hours before treating will make the
treatment more effective as it softens
the Rhizoctonia spores. Treat loose if
possible as the fiber in the sacks alb
be done by having a barrel on a plat
form so that the solution can be
drawn off into a wooden or earthen
container. Use four ounces of cor
rOsiye sublimate dissolved in hot
water and dilute to make thirty gal
Ions, then remove and dry. Add one
half ounce of dissolved corrosive sub
Innate for every five bushels treated
as the solution loses strength when
used. Corrosive Sublimate is a dead
ly poison and potatoes treated in it
are poisonous. However, the solution
Will not hurt the hands. Use glass,
wooden or earthen containers, never
metal.
3. If treated in watts, fill half full
Of solution. Measure solution neces-
5ary by multiplying length by width |
by one-half of the depth and then
by 1-2 to find the num-
Der of gallons necessary. Mix the
poison at the rate of four ounces
If corrosive sublimate to thirty gal
ons of water; add one-half ounce
If corrosive sublimate for every 80
gallons of water each time a new
OF of potatoes is put into the vat.
Use the solution four or five times
md then make an entirely new solu-
ion

You can make your own spray by
boiling four or five gallons Of water
in large kettle, tub or tank. Break
the lime into small and slack in hot
water. Make a smooth paste of the

Baby Chicks and Their Development
The first requirement of baby
chick is heat and rest.
Brooding
The brooder house should be sc
constructed as to make ample heat
ing easily possible. The brooder house
should be large enough so that the
heat circle may be amply extended
and at the same time allow for cool
zone beyond the heat circle. With
such an arrangement, the chick
circle will be thin which insures uni
form comfort at all times.
If chicks the to be brooded in
numbers as great as 1000 or more
the brooder house should be 1892
feet. A 16x16 foot heat room and a
16x16 foot cool room. The glass
should be on the north side of the
building. There should be no sun
spots on the floor. Dark shades
should be provided for all windows
SO that the room may be darkened
when desired. When chicks are small
the room should be dark much of the
time so that the chicks will rest.
Plans for brooder houses can be
had from most brooder manufactur-
ers. The University of Idaho Exten-
sion Division is to issue a new poul-
try bulletin soon and this will in
clude brooder house plan.
Feeding
A good first feed is rolled oats.
When the chicks are from 40 to SO
hours old, sprinkle small portion
of rolled oats in the litter, say a |
handful for 500 chicks. This is more
to teach them to eat than for any
other purpose. Keep the shades
drawn most of the first feeding day.
Scatter some charcoal on the floor.
If chicks have been shipped any
distance, they are no doubt quite
thirsty. The first drink should be
luke warm, whether it be sour milk
Or water. Cold water is likely to
chill them and is one cause for white
1iarrhea.
Feed five times on the second day,
lot much. Avoid full crops until
after the chicks are ten days old. On
he third day, add little whole
wheat to the rolled roats. Increase
he wheat each day and discontinue
eeding rolled oats on about the
