ABROAD PLANNED.
U. S. Officials, Fearing to
Experiment in America, Will
Go to Foreign Land.

The battle against foot-and mouth
disease which has been carried on in
this country for the past few years
has been carried into foreign lands,
according TO the United States De-
Dartmeut of Agriculture.
The department does not consider
It safe to permit experimentation in
this country. The plan provides for
the selection of a foreign country
where the disease is constantly pres

with foreign investigators.
The outline of method as proposed
by the Bureau of Animal Industry to
Secretary of Agriculture Howard NJ.
Gore provides for the appointment of
4 committee of three of the best quail
flied scientists, one of whom would be
from the bureau. The work of the
committee as proposed would be to
make an exhaustive study of scientific
Investigations thus far conducted and
10 cOllaborate with foreign scientists
in continued research.
In making his recommendation DR..
John r. Mohler, chief of the Bureau
If Animal Industry, states: The five
outbreaks that the United States has
experienced during the last 40 years
have been suppressed promptly by
the slaughter method. With our pres
cnt knowledge of foot-and-mouth dis
ease, this method is the most effective
and economical for this country. How
ever, We are very anxious to find, if
possible, better and more scientific
method of combating the disease"
The present recommendations of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, which
have been approved by Secretary
Gore, point out that it will be neces-
sary to proceed upon the assumption
that work of this kind may require
months, and possibly years, to pro-
Guce the results expected. The plan
would result in enlarging the scien-
cflc knowledge of the disease.

BERLIN, November 10.-With fhe
view of reducing the high cost of liy-

taken the lead in enacting measures
designed to give an impetus to bust
ness generally throughout the coun-
try and to decrease the cost Of var

of the Berlin officials was a decrease
of 10 per cent in the freight rates on
the state-owned railroads. The price
of coal has also been reduced from
to 10 per cent.
The next reduction scheduled is in
the charges made by the post office
department for the transmission Of
money. Changes in the banking reg
ulations as contemplated include the
cost of reduction of credit facilities
extended by the banks, governmental
and municipal financial institutions.

LADYBUG GETS PRAISE
AS AID TO ORCHARDISTS
Small Brown Insect Wipes Out
Citrus Fruit Pest in South

LOS ANGELES, December 9-The
little brown insect that for countless
years has heard the children Of
the country singing "Ladybug, Lady
bug, fly away home" now is free to
follow this bit of Juvenile advice.
The ladybug may turn its thoughts
toward home because it has about
completed its work in Southern Cali
fornia by wiping out the mealy bug,
citrus fruit pest, which for years
has preyed on the orange orchards of
this territory. according to citrus en-
tomologists here.
The pest, a coccid or scale insect,
especially of the genus Daetylopius,
accumulates on the fruit tree form
ing a scale of ftour-like substance.
Losses of fruit growers in South
ern California through this pest ran
into thousands of dollars Through
discoveries by entomologists, it was
found that the ladybug proved the
most successful foe of the pest.
i.adybugs were introduced into
orchards scourged with the bug. They
did their work of determination
Vow they may have their holiday.

Increase Yield of Eos
by Destroying All Mites

Poultry men and farmers sometimes
overlook a very important fact. 1t is
that the best of feed plenty of it, well
balanced ration, etc. will not induce
hens to lay eggs if they are compelled
to roost in houses infested with mites.
The little red insect saps the vital
itv of the hen by sucking her blood.
Hens have actually been killed, vir-
tually eaten alive, by mites. Chickens
cannot lay except when their vitality
is maintained Vitality and mites can
not exist in the same hen roost.
Guard against mites by giving all
woodwork inside the poultry house. a
coat of hot whitewash well carbolized
The roosts and their supports
shoul(~ be painted all over with car
bolineum, zenoleum, carpoline or
kresol These are all similar prod
ucts, called by different Names by
different manufacturers. They are
cresol or tar oil disinfectants, and are
death 70 mites, while in no way injuri-
ous to the chickens
The time and cost of carrying out
these suggestions will he amply repaid
by the hens who will show their APP
probation by an increased yield of
eggs.

WATER GLASS BEST
TO PRESERVE EGGS

Preserving eggs in water glass has
become a general practice, and is
meeting with perfect success where
ever tried, provided it is properly car
ried on Remember that if you put in
a poor egg, you are going to take out
a poor one.
Eggs to be put in water glass should
be fresh, sound and clean. They
should be gathered daily and preserved
the same day ON which they are laid.
Infertile eggs are conducive TO the best
success
The method of preservation is as
follows: Take one quart of water
glass. which can be secured at any
drug store at about 81 per gallon, and
mix with ten quarts of water that has
been boiled and then cooled. Stir
thoroughly and place in a crockery
vessel, never using galvanized or tin
vessels Place In a cool, wel-ven-
tiIated cellar, and add eggs as you
gather them from day to day, always
keeping the solution one inch above
tie eggs, and keeping the crock COW
cred with lid of some kind to pre-
vent too much evaporation.
Eggs preserved in this manner will
keep perfectly for one year.
The water glass solution will not
injure the hands. so do not be afraid
to handle the eggs in the solution.
Do not use the solution more than
one year
II is hard TO tell water glass egg
from fresh egg, if the former is
properly kept. But by considering the
price now and in winter you can af-
ford to eat three water glass eggs
next winter where you could eat only
one fresh one, and still have some
money left 1t will be found hard to
boil water glass eggs but by pune
turing the large end with needle, to
allow the air to escape and allowing
the water to come to boil gradually,
you viii not experience much trouble.

Infertile Eggs Contain
Some Important Elements

Feeding OF infertile eggs that have
been candled out of an incubator was
mentioned in a recent issue of the
Orange Judd Farmer. 1t was sug-
gested that these be cooked and
ground up to feed baby chicks. Some
complaint is made about the odor of
these eggs. Don't let that frighten
anyone, If they are thoroughly cooked
there is no danger to the chicks. Even
the eggs containing dead germs if
candled out before they are too far
along, make good feed
The chicks thrive on these ground
eggs. and they furnish some important
feeling elements. The shells can be
ground up with the eggs. Frequently
the number of eggs tested out of in
cu3ators is small. In such a ease,
market eggs are usually profitable as
q feed for the first two weeks.

and in this case advantage Is taken
of the property of resistance con-
nected in a circuit of reducing the
voltage in the circuit.
The rheostat, shown by the ser

The voltage of the battery must
always be higher than the voltage re-
quired by the tube. The voltage is
then brought down TO the required
value by adjusting the rheostat The
rheostat should have a resistance
value such that II oan vary the volt
age of the circuit from the full volt
age OF the battery to slightly below
the minimum voltage at which the

ance as you recognize the components
Of which they are made up and the
purpose of each element of the cir
cult.
One OF the essentials of a circuit
which employs vacuum tubes Is the
flament circuit which Is used to heat
the filaments of the tubes to a point
where they may be made to give off
electrons.
For this purpose a battery having
the required characteristics Of voltage
and current capacity is used and Is
connected In series with the filament
so as to form a complete electrical
circuit. as shown in flgure l.
This circuit Is a simple electrical
circuit in which the voltage of the
battery and the resistance of the cir
cult which consists of the resistance
of the tube filament and of the re-
sistance OF the lead wires which con-
meet the battery with the flament
regulate the current flowing through
the fllament and consequently de-
termine the electrons thrown off by
the flament
If II were possible to use battery
having just the right current charac-
teristics, this would be the simple
flament circuit used to heat the fla
