ANIMALS
DISLIKE TONES

The medical profession and the vet
Urinary medical profession are OPP
posed, on general and scientific prin.
cipies, to the administration of tonics
to healthy people and animals. Such
procedure Is unscientific and in prac-
tice is always marked with failure.
Farmers are giving Of their hard
earned money for stock powders, con-
dition powders, and shotgun prescrip-
tons, in the vain hope that they will
keep their animals healthy and cause
them to make greater gains.
When an animal is sick, the disease
should first be diagnosed, and then
an appropriate treatment given with
the hope and expectation of relief
When an animal is not sick he needs
nothing but plenty of good feed and
shelter. Giving tonics with the eXpec-
tation that nature can be coaxed to re-
doubled effort without paying the
price later is delusion and snare.
The law of compensation never fails:
Stimulation today means depression
tomorrow. TONES to healthy animals
are worse than useless. They are a
waste of money
A balanced ration for animals is a
very different matter. This means get
ting the maximum gains by such an
adjustment of nutritive elements that
nothing is wasted My advice Is to
study balanced rations and forget the

these four states IA per cent had
adopted practices taught by extension
forces. A total of 1888 adoptions of
improved practices were reported, an
average of 3.4 practices for each
farm definitely reached.
Propaganda Influence.
Propaganda methods influenced the
adoption of improved practices on 68
per cent of the farms, object-lesson
methods on So per cent, and personal
service methods on 81 per cent.
Forty-nine per cent of the farms re-
ported indirect influences.
The Importance of the indirect

brought out by the fact that extern

tors were not members of the extern

,pated in an extension activity, and

termed physical type of build. The
tables register five classifications,
those used for types that are slender,
heavy and heavy. Mr.. Taylor reports
that his lightweight tables will APP
ply to about 95 per cent of boys from
eight to sixteen years of age, inclu-
sive, and even those from sixteen to
eighteen or nineteen. Standardized
complicated because of the marked
difference in the physical development
of individuals in the pre- and post
adolescent periods.
In the Taylor tables all unnecessary
measurements are eliminated. "Of
what use is it to get the circumfer-
ence of an ear, since 1t cannot be
altered?" he asks. 81 measure only
those factors which can be changed
by training-the girths of chest, waist,
thigh, calf and arm" He places
strength tests in the discard, because
day.
To the school child, Mr.. Taylor's
system of Standardization becomes
like competitive game. Each pupil,
in the institutions which have adopted
it, keeps score card showing its
advance or retrogression, as the case
may be. The normal condition is des-
ignated as 100 AS measurements go
above or below the standard for the
same height and weight, points are
added or subtracted.
The chart of their gains and losses
places before the children a graphic
picture of the relation their condition
bears to a desirable standard. Mi

His system combines mental and
physical training. 81 learned years
ago from Sandow that resistance, or
the playing of one muscle against an
other, is the most effective way of
gaining strength" Mr.. Taylor said In
explaining the exercises he advocates.
In the Carteret academy and In the
Beard School of Orange-the former
is attended by boys, the latter by
girls-Mr. Taylor has recorded a
steady rise in physical standards dur
ing the four years of his association
with the two institutions.
The ideal type is reached at score
of 100 A sixteen-year-old lad In the
Carteret academy has achieved 1872
points; he is an honor student and
stands at the head of his class. 1T
is my experience" said Mr.. Taylor,
that, in an overwhelming majority of
cases, when the charts show mount
ing scores, the teachers report pro-
portionate improvement In mental
ability and In character stamina. Eff
fective mentality seems, in the long
run, to go with effective physique"

Beginning his investigations sew

Beginning his investigations sew
eral years ago at the Speyer school
in New York, Mr.. Taylor here OBJ
tanned his first data concerning the
relationship of mental and physical
efficiency.
Il went more deeply into the sub
Ject when, the following year, l went
to the University of Pennsylvania to
enter the department of psychology"
he said, 81 interested myself in the
study of nutrition, and was placed in
charge Of the physical measurements
of boys and girls in school feeding
experiments"
at that time Mr. Taylor obtained
some of the material that led him to
combat the popular theory that there
is only one normal type Of build,
which is the general average of all.
''It is an anthropological fact that
there is more than one normal type
of human physique" he said. "If
this is the case, how can any sound
conclusion be drawn from average
weights?"
While Mr.. Taylor commends those
who have devoted time and energy to
establishing averages, he does not
agree with the contention that an in
dividual Is "underweight" If he fails
by per cent to reach the general av-
erage weight for stipulated age.
Boys and girls in this class often
are naturally and healthily slender.
Such Is their nature that no rational
feeding would make them heavier, un-
less directed to producing a fiat"
child. 1t occurs frequently, of course,
that child may be Of so-called av-
erage weight yet subnormal physically.
Disregarding the current definition
of underweight, Mr.. Taylor suggests
that "a child is underweight when its
weight is below what 1t should be for
the particular individuals type Of
build"
Pounds and ounces do not enter into
the question, for child Is normal If
1t is healthy Mr.. Taylor asserts. In
his opinion the important thing Is to
establish the state Of a child's we'll
being by medical examination. "a
doctor, not weight can ascertain
whether or not the subject Is suf-
fering from malnutrition."
Mr.. Taylor's work carried him one
step further-he discovered that many
youngsters who seemed to be in the
best of health had poor muscular de-
velopment. 1.-THE value Of strong mus
culature is greater than many sup
pose 1t not only impels the posses
sor into beneficial exercise but there
seems to be relationship between
physical and mental efficiency" he
says.

Taylor worked out tables on height

Carrots May Be Served
With Other VEGETABLES

The carrots available in the winter
months are the large, mature carrots
that have been stored. While they
have a somewhat stronger flavor than
the tender new carrots of June and
July, they can be prepared in many
excellent dishes, and also served raw
occasionally in salads and in other
ways.
AS carrots are among the vegetables
valued for their vitamines, it is i'm
portant to cook them the shortest
possible time, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture. One
good way Of doing this is to slice
them on a vegetable slicer, and then
cook them in just enough lightly
sailed boiling water to cover. In ten
minutes or less they will be ready to
eat. When drained, seasoned with but
ter or cream, salt and pepper, and
served piping hot, they will appeal to
many who protest ordinarily that they
never eat carrots
Cooked sliced carrots may, of
course, be added to soups or stews and
various dishes, or used In making
souffles, timbales, croquettes, patties,
or fritters. They may be fried with
onions or apples or both, or made into
a pie with spices, following the usual
recipe for pumpkin pie.
Grated raw carrots may be served
in salads with other raw vegetables.
Combinations such as raw carrot, cab
bage, celery, turnip, green pepper, and
onion, in almost any preferred pro-
portions, are recommended because of
their high vitamine content.

Speltz Fed Extensively
as Supplement to Hogs

Speltz is used quite extensively In
some sections of the country as hog
feed especially. 1t is also used quite
a little in feeding sheep and is used
some in feeding horses and cattle. 1t
can be used to form the principal
grain for hogs and is very similar to
barley. 1t would be all right to use
some oats with the speltz In feeding
hogs, but it would be important to
supplement it with some high protein
feed, such as tankage.
A mixture of one-half speltz, and
one-half oats, or three-fourths speltz
and ne-fourth oats would be a very
satisfactory ration to feed to hogs. 1t
can be used along with oats in feeding
horses and it may be used to the ex-
tent of one-half speltz and one-half
oats, though 1t would be preferable
to use about three-fourths oats and
one-fourth speltz. Speltz Is very
hard grain and should be ground rath
er finely before it is fed to either
horses or hogs

Swine Growing Will Pay
if Developed Properly

From five grade sows and pure
bred Berkshire sire, swine growing
industry has been developed on the
farm Of the upper coastal plain branch
station near Rocky Mount that is re-
turning approximately $1,000 per year
to the farm.
''This is an instance of profits in
swine raising when the work is start
ed in the right way" says Prof. r. s.
Curtis, animal husbandman at the
North Carolina State college. "This
work was started only four years ago
and was begun by selecting from car
of hogs that we secured in Georgia for
feeding purposes, five of the best-look-
ing brood sows. These we crossed
with a pure-bred Berkshire sire and
now from the farm we are shipping
annually two carloads of fat hogs, one
in the spring and one in the fall. In
about two weeks time, Prof. Earl Hos
teller, who has charge of our swine
work, will ship 60 head of 200-pound,
well finished hogs to the Richmond
market"
Professor Curtis states that this is
one idea that should be adopted by
farmers all over North Carolina. The
total cost of the hogs used to start
this work did not exceed SIS, and from
this start has grown a two-carload
business annually returning approxf-
mately $4,000.
This but emphasizes more than ever
the practical method Of growing into
the hog business instead of buying into
it as so many growers try to do and
so often fail Professor Curtis states
that it is really an inspiration to see
the good things which may come in
livestock farming from small begin

In study made by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
cooperation with the state extension
services of Iowa, New York, Colorado
and California, some light is thrown
on concrete problems concerning
which extension leaders have desired
reliable information.
Farm Homes Reached.
Probably one of the most important
measures of the results Of extension
teaching, which has been carried on
for ten years under the Smith-Lever
act, Is the number of farms and farm
homes actually reached. The study
shows that the highest percentage
reached was 88 per cent, in a county
where organized extension work had
been under way twelve years. The
lowest percentage was 60, in a county
having had extension agents but six
years. OF the 1854 farms studied In

Fat Shows Beef Quality

The quality of beef is determined by
the color and the fat, according TO the
Oregon state experiment station. A
dense. clear, white fat Is associated
with the best meat. Inferior meat usu-
ally has a dark-colored or yellow fat.
The best meat is that In which the
fat is abundant and well distributed
through the lean portion The best
meat when freshly cut has bright
cherry red color. Beef showing this
color comes from beef-bred cattle.

Fatal Snake Bites

The average mortality from bites
of the American venomous snakes is
a little more than 10 per cent, but,
due to infrequency of bites, fatalities
are extremely low. Death from the
bite Of the rattlesnake is of rare oc-
currence. One factor which accounts
for the rarity Of accidents OF this ma
ture In the United States is that our
citizens do not habitualIy go around
barelegged. Another explanation Tor

A gravy favored and made acid
with currant jelly is often served with
roast lamb or mutton. To each cupful
OF brown gravy made from the fat of
the roast meat, add a glass or less of
currant jelly. The addition of currant
jelly is especially suitable when cold
mutton is to be warmed up In gravy.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1926-05-14

the SCARCITY of accidents is that rat
tiers do not generally inhabit lands
suitable for cultivation, and. there
fore, much frequented by man. The
tendency of the rattlesnake to rattle
whenever disturbed and to continue
the rafting as long as the disturbing
influence is present also explains why
victims are not more numerous.

health, don't let IL worry

sicians who have made extensive in
vestigation into the subject. The old
fashioned idea that the health of an
individual may be judged by the re-
lation Of that individuals weight to
the average weight of others of the
same age, is going into the discard.

slow much should dog weigh?"
returned Commissioner Of Health
Bundesen of Chicago, In answer to
the general question, rs there really
any standard weight for a person of
a certain height and age?p AS far
as all practical purposes are con-
cerned, ordinary weight tables are
not of much value, according to Doc
tor Bundesen. SHOULD Great Dane
weigh as much as poodle dog?
Should Japanese of a certain height
and age weigh as much as a German
of equal age and heightY the doctor
asked.
"A healthful weight for one person
may be an unhealthful weight for an
other" he continued. TYPE and
heredity are the chief factors influ-
encing a persons weight. Il you
come from line of ancestors of the
more rotund type, you're likely to
cast shadow of the same general
bulk. If you feel all right, and are
eager to eat three square meals day,
don't very about your weight"
Charles K. Taylor, director Of edu-
cational research at the Carteret
academy in Orange, N. j., after exam
lining more than 1900 children DUR
ing several years devoted to their ed
ucation, and the relation between
mental and physical efficiency, is of
the opinion that type and not weight
counts in judging child.
Mr.. Taylor Classics children In
three main groups-slender, medium
and heavy-the type resulting from
heredity and not from feeding. A
sound, strong body with a. normal
muscular development is bound to re-
suit In greater mental and moral
stamina, he concludes.
