Farm Accounting
A large number of bankers are REQ
ognizing the Importance of inyen-
tories, financial statements and farm
accounts and are encouraging the
keeping of records among their farmer
patrons. Not a few insist on finan-
cial statement from the farmer before
making loan, just as is required q
other business men, Such statement
not only acquaints the banker with
the financial status of the farmer but
also brings the farmer face to face
with conditions on his farm and calls
attention to opportunities for improve
ment.
In many states county bankers asso-
Citations are being organized with
agricultural committees. In New Jer-
sey every county is thus organized.
Ohio has representative of the agri-
cultural committee in every county in
the state. Wisconsin has added thir-
teen agricultural committees to it's
county organizations. In Arkansas
educational trains have been run in CO.
operation with the railroads, the Col
lege of Agriculture, and others for
stimulating interests in better farm
ing methods. In Oregon the Bankers
Association employs field secretary
to devote his entire time to carrying
on educational and agricultural pro-
grams. In Kentucky special plans
have been developed for coordinating
the various organizations interested
n agricultural development. Key men,
bankers. have been appointed in sixty
five counties. An annual income of
S 900 is provided and field secretary
Employed
1t will be seen that the efforts of
the Agricultural Commission and the
committees of the various states, in
cooperation with the colleges of agri-
culture, have been to formulate work
able programs. The field for work
appears unlimited. The spirit of the
bankers and the colleges is superb and
effective results will be accomplished.

If we may believe the naturalists,
the woodcock is an unusual bird
When migrating he flies at great
height until he wishes to rest, and
then descends almost perpendicularly
to the spot which he has chosen. As
a worm-digger he Is unexcelled, and
has even been known to have batting
average Of 1000 when sticking his
long bill into the turf in search of
breakfast.
Among the other characteristics is
. dislike Of bright light, which makes
him keep In the dark during the day
time. Whether this is due to thwarted
vanity, naturalists do not tell us, al
though he Is described as having legs
which are too short for: his large body,
tail only half as long as it should be
q neck which is both too short and too
fat and bill which Is TOO long and
too straight. To complete the list of
his. qualities. Ids eyes are said to be

story that the woodcock is capable of

Hatpaiian Geysers

Two enormous geysers are spoutins
100000 cubic feet Of molten lava
every hour from the Kilauea volcano.
During the past summer the crater OF
this volcano, which is 1000 feet wide
and contains an immense lake Of liquid
fire, has been draining, due Ia subter-
ranean disturbances, the surface OF
the lake having dropped 900 feet be-
low the rim in August. In September
the crater began to rise again at q
rapid rate until 1t had reached within
200 feet Of the rim. The appearance
of two immense geysers spouting
molten lava high into the air and
dropping it back into the lake is an
ansual phenomenon in the occasional
rise and fall Of the liquid fire Of the
Kilauea crater.-Department Of In
tprfor Bulletin.

Scaly Leg in Fowls Is
VERY Easy to Eradicate

Scales on the legs Of fowl are caused
by small parasite which burrows un-
der the small scale-like covering of
the legs and once safely imbedded,
multiplies rapidly, thus causing the
upraising and enlarging of the scales
until they become unsightly and, If
allowed to progress undisturbed, will
result in lameness and irritation.
Treatment for scaly leg is very
simple and once thoroughly eradicated,
there is little fear of return provid-
ed the quarters are kept clean. First
clean the houses well and burn all
trash. Give roost poles a thorough
cleaning with any sort of crude oil or
with common kerosene, being sure that
every part Is reached. Now catch all
fowls infected and dip their legs into
a vessel filed half-full of mixture
Of lard and kerosene, equal parts.
Hold in mixture five minutes.
One treatment usually effects a cure.
If not, the treatment may be repeated
In four or five days. Sometimes it is
necessary to rub the mixture in with
soft brush, or with the fingers; the
main point being to see that the oil
reaches all parts of the scales. This
destroys the parasites, after which
the scales drop off and the legs be-
come smooth and natural.

Trenchers of Wood

Wooden, trenchers, commonly called

Middle ages In Great Britain "Masers"
or cups and bowls were frequently men
toned In wills and inventories. The
finer specimens belonged to the richer
abbeys-thus, there was the Great
Maser at York. the Judas Cup at Dur
ham. and at st. Savior's. Southwark,
there was "a maser with bordour and
knop OF sylver and gilt which was
given, to the church wardens to drink
when they mete" These valuable
wooden cups were sometimes orna-
mented by rim Of silver, but other
wise they were seldom decorated by
more than a. few low holdings or in
cised lines, Their value and beauty
lay In. the granting ofsthea wood, gen.
orally maple, and the Old xtsrners
chose the part ofsthestrunk where 1t
divided off into branches so as to OBJ
