brought about a more simplified Gus
toms agreement between the United
States and Canada with regard to
the passage of tourists across the in
ternational boundary and many be-
lieve that this will be followed shortly
by decisions on the part of adjacent
cities and States to cut their motor
vehicle laws and traffic regulations
from the same pattern.
The reciprocal relations now exist
ing between the District of Columbia
and the State of Maryland, whereby
motorists in these localities are not
required TO carry two sets of license
plates. while q local matter. is
nevertheless of national Importance,
for it marks the end of bitter differ
snces between motor vehicle depart
ments.
Another matter of great Importance
to the motorist was the consolidation
OF the American Automobile Associa
tion and the National Motorists As
ISOLATION into the greatest car owner
organization in the world. Many of
the big plans for 1925 revolve around
the new American Automobile Asso
ciation and its 500 motor clubs in
every part of the country.
Showing in Gasoline Tax.
While the gasoline tax is operative
in 35 States, exacting from 1 to
cents from the car owner on every
gallon Of gasoline he buys. there is
still strong feeling against this
method of obtaining funds for road
building and maintenance owing to
the fact that entirely too much of
the funds so raised are used for gen
eral State expenses. Ohio motorists
are leading the fight against the tax,
although the Detroit Automobile Club
is putting forth equally sound reasons
why Michigan should not follow the
example set by other States, which
now have what many motorists re-
gard as a nuisance tax.
1t has been pointed out by tax ex-
perts time and time again that the
methods of taxing automobiles are
absolutely unsound and that the gas
tax does not solve the problem even
in the cases of California and Mary
land, where efforts have been made
to reduce the amount of registration
fees. This is said to be because the
gas tax does not take into account
the variation in gas mileage of diff
ferent makes Of ears. Added to this
objection is the growing realization
on the part of every one that the
motor vehicle is the most overtaxed
form of property in the United States
today.
Perhaps the most significant ad
vance Of the year was the develop
ment by the State Of New York of an
Independent motor vehicle depart
ment. with a large corps of we'll
trained motor vehicle inspectors,
whose duty 1t is to help the motorist
drive carefully and obey the laws
rather than to spy on him. New York
has taken up the most advanced
thought in law enforcement just
where Connecticut left off several
years ago, when the substitution of a
State police system made motor vehi-
Gle law enforcement but a mere side
line.
All in all, the inventory shows
motordom to be in a stronger posi-
tion than ever before. There is less
consideration for the quantity Of cars,
car owners, drivers, etc, and more
regard for their quality. 1t is the
first time that motordom has really
known where II stood

On an island at the very tip end
of South America stood this light
house in the care OF three keepers.
Over on the other side Of the island
it appears that a band of pirates had
been setting up false lights to lure
ships upon the rocks, where their
bones were picked at the leisure OF
these buccaneers. BY and by they
capture the lighthouse itself. and but
for the ingenuity and courage OF a
shipwrecked American who, with his
wits against those of the pirates.
goodness knows how many more
ships would have been wrecked and
robbed by these lawless men. A
corking story, busy every minute in
some action that carries you racing
along with it, terribly excited over
the outcome. Here Jules Verne Is
the pure adventurer and romancer.
We already know him as a good deal
of a prophet-writing stories about
sailing the air above and the deep
sea below years and years before
these feats became a part OF every
day business Of life. We used to
laugh over the Impossible inven-
tons of Jules Verne, even though
they swept us along joyously in their
unbelievable course. But here is a
book without a prophecy in it
chock full Of adventure instead.

Flushing" Recommended
for the Breeding Ewes

Preparation for breeding is the be-
ginning OF the direct work for the
harvest of lambs hoped for the next
spring. The period of CESSATION in
sheep is LAT to $50 days. The mating,
therefore, should begin practically
five months before the first lambs are
wanted The ewes should be gaining
in condition at the time Of mating.
Such condition will cause more of
the ewes to come in heat quickly and
to settle at the first mating, as well
as a larger number of twin lambs.
Changing the eweg to especially good
pasture on giving a little extra feed
beginning ten days before the breeding
season, will serve to bring about this
desired condition. This extra feeding
whether from extra pasture or aSdi-
tional feed given, is called flushing"
1t has been recommended and followed
by successful shepherds for genera
tons and carefully controlled expert
ments have proved that good results
do follow the practice. Trim off the
excess wool around dock Of all ewes.
Neglecting to do this is often the cause
of many ewes failing to get with lamb.

tea, salt, breakfast cereal, sugar, and
cornstarch. If a kitchen cabinet is
not used in the kitchen, this arrange
ment is especially convenient. Attrac-
tive supply cans may be made by en-
ameling coffee cans and then labelling
them with different color Of enamel.
Steps May Be Saved.
Kitchen furniture may often be- re
arranged to save steps. For instance,
If the kitchen must serve as dining
room as well as kitchen, the room
may be made more convenient If the
table and chairs are in one part of
the room and the kitchen work table,
range, sink, and wood box are in an
other part. 1t is especially conven-
lent to have the work table near the
sink, and the sink near the range.
It is well to keep kitchen utensils
and supplies nearest the places where
they are used most. For example,
small quantities of salt, pepper, -four
and sugar may be kept in shakers in
the warming oven Of the range, or on
a nearby shelf for convenience
A dish drainer is practical for the
farm woman who spends many hours
washing and wiping dishes. It not
only does away with the wiping of
dishes, but it cuts down the launder-
ing of dish towels. This method Of

White Leghorn Is Most
Satisfactory fol- Eggs

The White LeghoTns seem to be the
most satisfactory breed for CONNER
cial egg production. When both eggs
and meat are desired it pays to keep
one of the general-purpOse breeds, like
Barred Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island
Reds or White Wyandottes. This brief
list does not mention all the breeds
that are good for egg production or
for egg and meat production. 1t is
the individuals in breed and not the
breed name that determines the prof
it's from flock of poultry.
If the hens that lay white eggs and
the hens that lay brown eggs are man
aged the same, I think there is very
little, if any, difference in the quality
of the contents. / have heard owners
of the brown breeds say that their
eggs seemed to look richer and prob
ably contained more food value than
white-shelled eggs, but scientific in
vestigation seems to indicate that the
eggs of the same weight are about
equal in food value regardless of the
color Of the shell.
1t is often found that White Leg
horn eggs will hatch larger per cent
of chicks than some brown egg breeds.
| think the vigor Of the stock is OF
more Importance than the color Of the
egg In determining hatchability.

How far will honey bee fly from
the hive for food? What Is the
economic limit to the distance the In
sect can travel for raw material? BY
what means does it find new fields of
nectar-yielding flowers? These are a
few Of the time-worn questions which
will be studied intensively by the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture. A carefully planned experiment
will be conducted on the coast of Dela-
ware, in a region having no nectar
secreting flora. The Office Of bee Gull
ture Investigations of the bureau of
entomology announces that one of the
principal objects of the work is to de-
termine the effect various weather con-
ditions have on the flight activities of
bees.
Flight Readily Controlled.
AS the countryside has no flowers
that will divert the attention of the
bees, their flight can be readily con-
trolled by the placing Of supplies Of
artificial food This honey flow will
be kept constant and as a result any
variation in the flight activities will be
caused primarily by prevailing weather
conditions. Automatic feeders contain
ing sugar solution of known specific
gravity will at first be placed at dis
tances from the hives varying from
one-eighth of mile to three miles.
There will be ten colonies of Italian
bees, each colony on scale so that
variations in the weight may be
studied. Records will be made of the
increases in weight during the day to
learn the hour to hour variation in the
honey income. Records of loss Of
weight by evaporation at night will
give information on the ''ripening" of
honey.
Move Feeders Gradually.
The feeders will gradually be moved
to greater distances from the colonies
to determine the limit of flight from
the effect of distance on the production
of honey-an economic factor from the
standpoint of the bees and also from
that OF the beekeeper. Some feeders
loaded with strip will be placed in
new and secluded places to determine
if possible the methods followed by
the bee in searching for new sources
and the time taken to find them.
These and other obscure factors
concerning the behavior of bees puz-
zling to beekeepers since antiquity, If
solved will prove of much benefit to
the industry.

Fertilizers are plant food, not mere

RHODE ISLAND REDS
NEW POPULAR BREED

The Rhode Island Reds are the wv
est of the popular breeds of general
purpose fowls. The breed originated
In Rhode Island, where 1t was devel-
oped by farmers engaged in poultry
raising. The Malay, Buff Cochin, Buff
Leghorn and Wyandotte are said to
have been used in its development.
In type the Rhode Island Red has a
rather long, rectangular body, and
Is somewhat rangier in appearance
than the Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte.
The hens are good layers and the breed
makes a good table fowl. There are
two varieties, the rose and single
combed The Rhode Island Whites are
more recent breed developed with
similar type.
The Wyandotte is rose-combed
breed and is characterized as breed
of curves. The body is somewhat
round and is set lower on the legs
than the Plymouth Rock. The feath-
ers are less compact than the Rhode
Island Red and It's general shape and
feathering gives 1t the appearance Of
Uel1lS SHOTI UdCKcu anu SHOTl UOulCu-
The Wyandotte was developed in the
United States and the blood Of the
Dark Brahma, the Silver-Spangled
Hamburg and the Buff Cochin played
a part in its origin. The varieties are
white, buff, silver, golden, partridge,
silver penciled, Columbian and black.
The Plymouth Rock has for many
years been the most popular breed Of
general-purpos fowls. It Is breed
which originated in the United States,
and 1t is probable that the blood Of
the Dominique, Black Cochin, Black
Java, Brahma and Pit Game was used
in it's development. The breed is
good sized, rather long bodied, with
fairly prominent breast and good
depth, showing a well-rounded carcass
when dressed. The varieties Of the
Plymouth Rock are barred, white, buff,
silver penciled, partridge and Column
bian.
