Rub Oil Into Hair to
XIII Lice on Cattle

Prof. q. n. Lamson, Jr., has been
testing methods Of killing lice on eas-
tie The tests were carried out at the
experiment station. stoFrs. Conn. After
trying liquids and sprays and powders
and duats, Professor Lamson advises
rnw llnseed oil. A fat or oil Ia NAT
ural enemy Of the louse II was found
that there Is marked difference Ia
the season when the lice abound,
When the ely skin secretions are most
abundant the lice are greatly reduced
In numbers when the skin dries, as
IN winter, the lice abound The breeds
OF cattle also differ In their liability 20
carry lice. For example. Jerseys and
Guernseys, which have naturally an
oily skin, are not 30 badly infested as
other breeds which have less skin &c
erection. Perhaps It was this fact
which led 10 the experiments with lin
seed oil. II has been found that when
this oil Is brushed and rubbed into the
hair on certaln parts OF the body the
lice are kept under control. The lice
are mostly found around the horns.
along the neck and shoulders, and
around the tail and rump The oil ia
simply rubbed into the hair with a
brush. II takes about Ave minutes 70
oil a cow with this treatment, and
costs very little for each treatment.

Federal Grades
of Big Benefit
Standardization Of Farm
Products Attaining Ma
tional Importance

4 tkrepared hS tha unlied States Department
Of AsricuRare)
Standardization OF farm products ls
rapidly attaining national and lnterna-
tional importance. declares the United
States Department OF Agriculture.
Federal grades are now available for
80 kinds Of fruits and vegetables one
or more OF which grades have been
adopted by 25 states for use in lntra-
state as well as in interstate com
nlerce.
Value Of Grades
The departments Standardization
program was started in 1918 with the
establishment OF telegraphic market
news service covering most OF the
leading consuming markets In the
country Federal grades were pre-
pared for Bermuda onions and pota.
toes. use Of the latter being made com
pulsory by the food administration.
The value OF the potato grades was
found to be such that with the terHni-
nation OF the food administration the
trade continued the voluntary use OF
the grades. and II Il estimated that
az least 80 par cent OF the total ship I
ments OF potatoes In the United States
are now quoted on the basis Of the
federal grades
Further stimulus was given the
Standardization program when the
United States food products inspection
service was started In 1917. This
service provided for federal inspection
Of shipments at receiving points when
such Inspection should be requested
by any of the persons interested In
the shipments. Grading laws that had
been long dormant were brought out
and shaken to life. BY 1921 federal
grndes had been recommended for Is
different fruits and vegetables and
had been widely adopted by the states.
Service Extended.
The following year the inspection
service was extended to shipping |
points, and a tremendous demand de- |
veloped for additional standards for
fruits and vegetables The grades
now cover 80 commodities and the
end Is not YET. say department otlielals
In charge OF the work. Growers OF
romaine. raspberries. ruta-
bagas. escarolle, garlic and other
are requesting federal
grades for their products The grades
are also now being recognized abroad
as evidenced By the trade preference
given American products that have
been officially inspected and for
which inspection certificates as TO
quality and condition have been Is
sued.
The recent accession Of interest in
standard grades on the part OF east
srn products Is pointed out as no
able development In the standRrdlza-

Cutting ont Disease

WITHIN 90 years, chemists and physi.
w clans win have discovered cures for
nearly all enemies Of the human body.
including such dread maladies as cancer.
So predicts DR.. William S. Nichols, for
mer president of the American Chemical
society.
Then no one would die until the body
Just naturally wore out like an aged ma
chine, barring accidents and such killers
as lightning. 1t is pleasant to contem-
plate.
Why wait 80 years? The famous DR..
Wiley, in his SOS, recently said: IF lux
ury could be destroyed and all houses
burned to drive us outdoors, the diseases
which kill us old and middle-aged men
would disappear.
That's true. Disease as n rule isn't
much to fear. The great danger is in n
lowering of the body's powers of resistance
or fighting off disease.
And lowered resistance Is an inevitable
result OF living an unnatural life. OF
course, as time goes on, mans body adapts
itself to its environment - becomes inn
mune to conditions and germs that have
killed city dwellers before long environ
ment led to immunization.

Ertraordinaru!

THE %axolotl, described as a fish with
L legs, the legs equipped with fingers,
excites Boston. 1t was sent from Montana
TO the Hubs natural history museum. A
little imagination suggests that the queer
creature is a link demonstrating the work
ings of evolution. That is presumably
correct - even tho the axolotl is a sala-
mander or refined lizard, instead of a fish.
Like this, runs the evolutionary theory:
A fish wanted, for instance, to get out OH
land and explore. Struggling, it developed
fins into flippers like a seals. Gradually
these became legs-like a lizards. Trying
to seize objects ultimately developed fin
gers.
Or, struggling to fly, fish developed fins
into wings. Man yearned to fly-so
much, he pictured the angels with wings.
He didn't wait for wings to grow. Made
his own, artificial - the airplane. No
longer confined to the ground.
It's a freakish step in evolution, Is mans
