Tin Cans Reclaimed
for Other PURPOSES

In few years from now the old
saying that "the path of civilization Is
strewn with tin cans" may not be
true, for a process has been developed
by which the millions of tin cans
thrown away every year may be re-
claimed and sold over again in the
form Of brackets, sash weights, grid
dies and furnace CRATES. BY the new
process, perfected by scientists at
Seattle, in the northwest experiment
station Of the bureau Of mines, the
small percentage Of tin is separated
from the iron In the cans. After sew
eral stages the resultant metal Is
known as synthetic iron and may be
used for any purpose to which pig iron
Is put.

Attention to Scales
to Prevent Mistakes
Devices Often Made mac
curate by Cold Weather.

prepared BY the United States Department
Of Agrtculture.)
Users of farm scales are cautioned
by the live stock weight supervisor OF
the packers and stock yards admins
tration, United States Department OF
Agriculture, to guard against scale
trouble in winter and to take precau-
lions to prevent errors In weighing.
Scales are often made inaccurate In
cold weather by the presence Of snow,
slush, and water which alternately
freeze and thaw.
Water may find its way to an out-of-
the-way but important scale part
where It freezes and alters the scale
action. Errors due to such cause
are particularly bad for the reason
that they are often large and occur
at time when there is no inclination
to study the scale carefully. Inaccu-
racies may not only be serious, but
most Of them may remain undiscov-
cred. When the Ice melts the cause Is
removed without trace and the err
rors remain unsupported.
When the user Of the scale Is on
his guard errors from Ice can be de-
tected in numerous instances by noting
changes In the action Of the beam. 1t
may become less sensitive. It may
swing quicker, or friction may develop
to cause its motion to die down rap
idly.
Water, snow, and Ice should be kept
from the scale proper and from the
scale pit, In so far as practicable.

Freeing of Insects
Festival in Japan

From time immemorial the people
of Japan, especially the children, have
kept singing insects In little wooden
cages, as the people of the West keep
birds. But once year, in the early
autumn, comes day for all people to
free their insects, so that they may
join intellectually in the lyric out
burst to the Seven Flowers Of autumn.
The famous old garden in Mokujima,
not damaged by the quake, was the
center Of that observance this year as
in years gone by. The autumn fow-
ers were in bloom, japanese lanterns
threw a mellow glow on the thick,
carefully tended foliage and upon the
old pond with its fantastic bridge and
lotus flowers, lighting the paths for
the gayly clad throng gathering here
and there on their wooden geta.
Nearly all Of them carried little
cages with several insects in each one.
Those who did not have pets to free
bought songsters from stalls set up
at the entrance to the garden. The
visitors gathered in groups near grass
plots, formed circles and opened the
doors of their cages, gently pushing
out the insects. Then they listened
eagerly for them to join in the JOY
Gus cry Of freedom.
Writer'S on Japan from the time of
Pierre Lott have described graphical
ly the almost deafening sound of the
cicadas in the late summer and early
fall. The insects fill the air through
out Japan with their song.-New

How to Kill the
Common Burberry
Such Chemicals as Salt and
Kerosene Recently Found
Effective.
prepared by tsfe~Cnited States Department
[of Agrfeulture.)

prepared BY 81 1salssfta Sss,'' D''-
The morS recently adopted method
of killing he common barberry which
spreads Aack-stem rust Of small
grains, is y the use Of such chemi-
Gals as salt and kerosene. The meth
DDS of their Application are described
in Department Circular 1863, just Is
sued by the United States Department
Of Agriculture. These methods have
several advantages over the digging
method formerly used. They are less
laborious, cheaper and more certain.
This Is especially true If bushes are
growing in stony ground where digging
Is difficult.
The circular also gives a good de-
scription Of the harmful common bar
berry and Of the harmless Japanese
barberry, desirable ornamental
shrub.
The salt treatment Is effective at
any season when the ground Is not
frozen. 1t consists, briefly, Of placing
sufficient salt around the base of the
plant so as to surround all shoots.
Crushed rock salt, often called Ice
cream salt, Is preferable as 1t dissolves
slowly, although ordinary flake or
packers salt, commonly used on farms,
Is satisfactory. For a bush having a
group Of shoots about II inches in d.
ameter at the base, use ten pounds
Of dry salt; for one 6 inches In diam
eter, use about five pounds. For
large clumps or hedges use proportion
ately larger quantities of salt. The
sailed plants may be cut down or left
standing. Standing bushes make 1t
easier later to locate and determine
the extent Of the killing. Bushes near
valuable trees or shrubs should be dug
or pulled. The use of salt or kerosene
will harm the trees or shrubs as well
as the barberry bushes.
Kerosene Successful.
The kerosene method Is successful
If applied at any time during the grow
ing season, but the action Of the ker-
Osene Is slow, and immediate results
should not be expected. Apply kerr
osene to the base of the plant 80 that
1t vets the base of every shoot and
also the ground for 3 or inches
around every shoot. One gallon of
kerosene Is necessary to kill a bush
II Inches in diameter at the base, and
two quarts should be applied to q
bush 6 inches in diameter.
For their own safety, as we'll as to
prevent scattering of the salt, cattle
and poultry that are salt hungry
should should be kept away from the
treated bushes. If this Is impossible
the salt may be covered with dirt or
brush.

Manure Applied to Land
While Fresh Best Plan

The best time to put manure on
the land is just as soon after the ex-
crement is voided as is possible and
profitable. In some respects, the best
method consists in transferring the
manure directly from the stall to the
spreader and hauling IT out daily or
as often as load accumulates. This
method requires only one handling;
It gets the manure to the fields with
the smallest possible loss Of fertility
constituents; It gets the manure on
the soil one crop year earlier in many
cases; and 1t does away with, the
unsightly, malodorous. and wasteful
manure pile.

/. The discovery Of new conti-

Renaissance was nearly lost in Italy,
in Germany it had only opened the
way to a national literature with little

in every line.
