Pocket Gopher Thrives
in the Alfalfa Fields

The pocket gopher thrives in alfal-
ia fields because conditions for con
tinued burrowing are favorable, and
alfalfa roots make a most acceptable
food for it. Gophers kill many alfalfa
plants by cutting the top roots.
The pocket gopher tunnels to find
food. In spring and fall, the seasons
of greatest activity, a single gopher
frequently throws up several mounds
in a day. Sometimes one gopher
throws up two to three hundred
mounds between the time of last cut
ting of alfalfa and the ~freeze-up in
December. Ten or more gophers can
produce 1000 mounds per acre.
Damage by smothering can largely
be avoided if the mounds are dragged
down before spring growth begins.
This should be one of the earliest field
operations next spring. followed with
poisoning or trapping, to kill the ami
mails as they show new activity. Treat,
and treat again if necessary, In order
to cause complete eradication.
If you are not familiar with the
poison method, inquire of the nearest
county agent or write to A. e. Oman.

SEEING IN HI DARK

WHY can some people see better
w in the dark than others? Why
can some animals, especially cats and
their second cousins, lions and tigers,
as well as owls, see clearly at night?
We know, by common observation,
that these differences exist but no
careful investigation of them has
been made until recently.
Curiously enough, the subject has
been taken up by a physician in the
British navy in an effort to discover
ways in which the night vision of Of
icers and seamen in the navy can be
improved. Night is the time of great
est danger at sea. Electric search
lights are of great value in lighting
up objects, If one knows where to
look. But it is impossible to light up
the whole ocean and ever if it were
possible, s~earchlights are almost as
dangerous as they are helpful, for they
are just as much service to the enemy
In revealing the presence of ones own
ship. To the officer in charge, the
wheelsman or the lookout, they are apt
to be confusing.
In a recent issue Of the Proceedings
of the Royal Society of Medicine, DR..
Sidney Russ reports some interesting
experiments he has made.
Doctor Russ found that the human
eye could see better at night if it had
rested during the day and had been
protected from the bright sunlight or
from strong artificial light. This ex-
plains why animals with keen sight In
the dark instlnctively rest during the
day in dark places. The owl, whose
ability to see ut night Is well known,
rests during the day in the darkest
place he can lind. Tigers hide during
the day in the depths of lark caves,
resting the eyes so that they can see
best in the darkest night. 1t has been
found that lookouts and watchmen
can see best at night II they spend
the day resting and sleeping in dark
rooms.
Doctor Russ also found that there is
a marked difference in the eyes of diff
ferent persons. Sunlight, when broken
up by a prism, is made up of violet,
indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and
red. The violet rays are the shortest
and the red rays the longest. The
yellow rays, which are the greatest in
number in sunlight and daylight, are
also the rays of medium length and
consequently those which most eyes
can see. while the violet rays, which
are the shortest and which are most
COMMON at night, are those which en-
able some persons to see better In the
dark and are also those which are of
rhe most value TO owls, tigers and
other nocturnal animals.

Protein Supplement Is of
Much Importance to Pigs

A protein supplement means a feed
which carries a high percentage of pro-
tein. Tankage and fish meal are the
two feeds which are most commonly
used as supplements to corn. The fol-
lowing recommendations, made by
Prof. v. Starkey, chief of the ami
NAL husbandry division at Clemson
college, may be helpful in determining
the amount of the above supplements
to use.
1. Pigs weighing less than 100
pounds when fed a full grain ration
of corr ON rape or rye pastures should
receive either tankage or FISH meal
amounting to from 5 to 10 per cent
of the concentrates which they are fed.
2. Pigs weighing less than 100
pounds and receiving a limited grain
ration of corn (one-half full feed, or
about 2 per cent of their body weight
on rape or rye pasture should receive
a maximum Of 5 per cent tankage or
fish meal.
3. Pigs weighing over 100 pounds
receiving a full grain ration of corn
while on a pasture should receive
a maximum of 5 per cent of tankage
or fish meal.

Important That Chicken
House Be Disinfected

IT is important that the chicken
houses be properly cleaned and disin-
fected. In addition to the need, from
a sanitary standpoint, the cleaning
and d~isinfecting helps to destroy
mites and other vermin. After the
house is cleaned and disinfected
whitewash is an important aid in help
ing to keep the house in a sanitary
condition.
If the house is not particularly bad
a small amount of disinfectant can be
added to the whitewash and the two
jobs done at the same time. If sick
chickens have been in the houses 1t is
best to disinfect first and add disin-
fectant to the whitewash in order to
make a thorough job. An effective
whitewash for this purpose is made
as follows:
Stake a half peck of lime and dis
solve 1t with twenty gallons Of water.
Add one pound Of salt previously dis
solved in water. To this mixture add
two quarts of crude carbolic acid.
This mixture may be applied with a
pray or brush. If the mixture is
properly put on it not only kills the
mites but destroys the eggs and will
make the house fresh and clean.

Great Damage Done
to Farm Machinery
Metal Will Wear Much
Longer if Painted.

Few people realize the real damage
done to farm machines by allowing
them to rust.
Even though a machine is nearly all
iron or steel it will wear much longer
If kept painted and thus protected
from rust, observes q. r. Gross, rural
engineer at the New Jersey State Col
lege of Agriculture, New Brunswick.
Some think that rust does all its
work in the places where it can be
seer but this is far from the truth.
Rust results from moisture and air.
Where there is plenty of air the mois-
ture dries and only a little rust re-
suits. Hence it is in the crevices that
rust works overtime. The large parts
such as the levers and frame of a ma
chine are not damaged much by rust
but the small parts, such as catches,
springs, nuts and bolts do suffer-
Paint is the best means of check
ing rust action. A painted bolt will
hold longer and can be removed more
easily than one allowed to rust. The
machine should be cleaned of all dirt
and rust before applying the paint.
Any kind of paint will do, but it is
much better to use an automobile
paint or one adapted to iron work.
Paint all except securing parts and
apply plenty of paint at joints, cor
ners, crevices between parts, around
bolt heads and nuts. Paint as you re-
pair. This is the best time. 1t can
then be done during the season when
the machinery is not in use. Some
machines may be painted every year,
some need painting only once in five
or six years.

Breeding and feeding spell success
with poultry; but to keep up the
breed be sure of pedigrees.
Onions should be harvested when
the tops have died down. Dry out the
bulbs thoroughly before storing.
The number of cuttings which al
falfa will stand depends partially upon
the kind of alfalfa seed used.
Since the old gray mare "ain't what
she used to be- there should be a
likely colt coming along to take her
place.
The tractor has come to stay, but
the draft horse will be here for a

Wider Roads Are Needed
to Handle Motor Flood

The marked congestion OF motor
vehicles on roads and streets, together
with the fact that automobile fac
tories have been turning out cars
faster than crews have been building
pavement enough to park them, has
ELECTED a lively discussion of the
amazing growth and the future of tho
automobile. With a registration of
17,5OO,000 cars in the United States
and a factory output in 1924 amount
ing to 100000 cars, the problem as
sumes proportions of first magnitude.
AS the Glens Falls IN. " Post-Star
views the situation there can be but
one answer to the question-more
roads, and that means, very largely
wider roads," Quoting further:
"The, task of road building which
started with the advent of the auto
mobile has only begun. 1t will not
be ended for years to come. There Is
no other solution. The increase of au-
tomobiIes cannot be stopped. People
will buy them and run them as long as
they have money. The highways must
be expanded to accommodate the trar-
fc. Traffic cannot be cut down to fit
the highways. 1t is fast o%verburden-
ing them. The program of road build
ing must be FASTENED to keep pace
with traffic, or confusion will ensue."
The Engineering News-Record a
leading engineering construction jour
nal, believes that no one can see the
congestion in our city streets and on
our country highways without realiz-
ing that "the s%aturation point of auto
mobile production Is not going to be
measured by the purchasing power of
the people but by the capacity of our
highways and advises the automobile
manufactures to do all he can to helr
get new roads and streets if he wants
to keep his market for automobiles
unimpaired.

IN THE twenty-five years since 1900,
a most of our knowledge of tubereu-
losis and practically all our knowledge
of successful methods of its treatment
have developed. Many medicines Of
different kinds have been used. None
of them has been found to be of any
real value. Many differe6t kinds Of
serum have been tried. Not one has
come up to the expectations and
claims of it's d~iscoverer. Every few
months, the newspapers announce that
some one who is or who claims to be
an authority on tuberculosis has found
a new cure of wonderful value. None
of these has ever fulfilled the promises
of its promoters.
So after centuries of ignorance and
a quarter of a century of investigation,
our knowledge of the treatment Of
consumption can be told in a few
words. Outdoor air; sunlight; food
and rest.
And the greatest and most impor-
tant Of these Is rest. 1t is also the
one which apparently is most difficult
for the patient to take or at least take
effectively. Tell the incipient or, the
convalescing consumption patient that
he must stay outdoors a certain num-
Der of hours a day, that he must sleep
with windows wide open, that he must
get all the sunlight possible and that
he must eat certain amounts of certain
foods every day and he will probably
obey. But tell him that rest is the
most important treatment and he will
too often follow his impulse and his
feelings rather than his instructions.
Especially is this true of the patient
who is recovering. His fever is prac-
tically gone; his cough is disappear
ing he is gaining weight. The holes
In his lungs are closing up, he feels
new life and energy. He's tired Of
Lying around" Then, too. the dis
ease itself is strangely and peculiarly
stimulating. 1t has often been re-
marked, by students of tuberculosis,
that the very poison of this disease
acts like a stimulant on the human
body and mind.
So the patient wants to be up and
doing. And right there Is the danger.
He doesn't know the limits of his own
strength. Often he may undo in a
day or an hour the slow gain of weeks
and months.
Here's where the home treatment
of tuberculosis falls down. The con-
sumptive at home may have plenty of
good air, sunlight and food. But I'M
less his rest, work and play are care
fully supervised by some one who
knows just what it is safe for him
to do, he may ruin the good effects Of
months of s%elf-control and %self-denial
by a single hours indiscretion.
For this reason a consumptive is
better off At a good sanitarium than
anywhere else.

Increase Dairy
Industry Slowly
Mistake to Suppose It VIII
Continue to Expand In
definitely.
prepared By tie united states Department

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrfculture.)
Although through long periods the
dairy industry of the United States
will probably be on an importing
rather than an exporting basis, there
are likely to be wide variations in pro-
duction from year to year, as a result
of which the industry will find itself
swinging back and forth from the Inn
port basis unless great care is taken
to bring about orderly production, DR..
Henry G.. Taylor, chief of the bureau
Of agricultural economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture, de-
ciared recently in an address before a
dairy trade conference at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. The annual farm
value of our dairy products, he said,
has reached the figure of
2 ,5O0,OOO,O 00. He declared it is a mis-
take to suppose, In view OF the growth
made by the dairy industry in the last
rs years, that 1t will continue to ex-
pand indefinitely.
Aim Of Dairy Industry.
Regulated production mainly for the
domestic market. rather than unlim-
tied expansion, should be the aim of
the dairy industry, Doctor Taylor sug-
gested. He said there is a prospect of
fair prices for dairy products, provided
the industry is kept within bounds so
that it remains normally on an import
basis. A survey of the dairy situation
In foreign countries, he declared,
shows the Importance of not attempt
ing to expand the dairy industry of the
United States with a view to compet-
ing in foreign countries. In support of
this view Doctor Taylor cited recent
rapid expansion of the dairy industry
in Australia, New Zealand and Argen-
tina.
Regulate Competition.
Competition in the production of
butter for European markets, Doctor
Taylor said, is so keen hat 1t is unde-
sirable for the dairy farmers Of the
United States to produce a surplus for
those markets. In adjusting their pro-
duction to home needs, American
dairymen, he said, should get into the
habit of taking advantage of the De
partment of Agriculture's statistical
service, whereby the supply of cows
can be forecast several years in adj
vance. Information is regularly gath
cred and published by the department
which should facilitate an orderly de-
velopment of the dairy industry, Doc
tor Taylor said. The ideal, he de-
clared, should be to have the number
of dairy cows increase neither too rap
idly nor too slowly to meet consumers
requirements.

Biedenkapp what he worked at. Bic

The officer who made the arrests
had nothing to submit to prove dis

Biedenkapp had quoted from while

points taken from the famous report
of the industrial relations commits

were headed: -Four Causes of Indus

l. Unjust distribution of wealth
and income
2. Denial of justice in adjucation
and administration of law.
g. Denial of the right and oppor-

A. Denial of the right to form eff
