Sparrows and Pigeons
Disease Germ Carriers

Recent investigations have deter
mined that sparrows and pigeons may
carry the avian or chicken type Of
tuberculosis from chickens to pigs or
hogs and from an infected flock Of
chickens to a nOniRfected flock. The
sparrow or pigeon flies from infected
pens or fiOcks to q healthy flock and
communicates the feed. There Is also
strong circumstantial evidence that
sparrOws and pigeons can transmit
fowl cholera from infected to healthy
fOcks Of chickens. 1t Is also possible
that they may TRANSMIT rOup, sore
head and the larvae Of different kinds
Of worm parasites. 1t is also said that
sparrOws and pigeons carry or trans.
init the virus on their feet.
No doubt chicken lice and mites are
transmitted from farm to farm by
pigeons and sparrOws.
Possibly pigeons cover greater areas
than sparrOws, hence are more dan
gerOus.
When possible prevent sparrows and
pigeons from feeding with farm ami
mails. Some one must discover a meth
cd of eradicating sparrOws; and when
pigeons are raised, bred and fed on
farms they should be kept to them
selves

Skim Milk Made
Use of as Feed
Large Quantities Formerly
Wasted Now Converted
Into Nutriment.

prepared by the Emitted States Department
Of AGrieulture.)
Large quantities Of skim milk for
merly wasted or iRefficiently used are
being converted int q marketable
product by a number Of companies
utilizing a process recently perfected
by the bureau Of dairying, United
States Department Of Agriculture. One
company has sold more than million
peunds during the last year for poul-
try and hog feed. At Grove City, Pa,
this manufactured prOduct-cOnce0-
trated sour skim milk-is made I'M
der the direction Of department dairy
ing and sells at cents pound, net
ting 81 cents a hundred pounds OF
skim milk.
How Process Works.
Briefly, the process consists OF the
use Of culture containing a myco'
derm, which is a yeastlike organism,
and an active culture of the bulgari-
Gus type. When used in cOmbinaIloh
they are able to develop more than
double the amount Of acidity In the
skim milk produced by ordinary Tactic
cultures alone. The use of this mixed
culture has made it possible to % ate
an acidity of per cent in skim milk
which when concentrated at the rate
of to 1 gives the finished product an
acidity of 6 per cent. An acidity OF
per cent removes the difficulties for
merly experienced in concentrating
skim milk in the vacuum pan, and D
per cent acidity in the finished product
prevents spelling. The product has
been kept I'm good condition for more
than year.
Useful Poultry Feed.
Concentrated sour milk Is a pasty,
semifluid product. AS poultry feed 1t
is mixed with water or dry mash.
Good results are obtained with the
product when fed to baby Chicks In
dilution of to 8; when fed to laying
hens either In paste form or in a mix
ture Of pound Of paste to pound
of dry mash; and when fed for crate
fattening at the rate Of 40 pounds Of
the paste to 100 pounds Of mash.
The utilization Of surplus skim milk
In manufacturing this concentrated
product promises greater outlet to
the dairyman for his products and as
sures the pOultryman Of a uniform
supply Of a good feed that has excel
lent keeping qualities.

Reduce Stem Rust Harm
by Eradicating Burberry

Thirteen states are now cO-operat-
ing with the federal bureau Of plant
industry in the eradication Of the bar
berry as a means Of controlling the
stem rust on grain. DR.. G. II. Ball, In
charge Of cereal crops and diseases,
and Lind d. Hutton, associate pathOlO-
gIst, are now inspecting the barberry
eradication work in Michigan, Ohio,
Wisconsin, and several other states.
More than 100000 barberry bushes
have been destroyed in the thirteen
states affected since 1918, and 1t Is
claimed by bureau specialists that
there has been reduction in stem
rust damage over the entire area. The
largest number Of bushes have been
found In the Great lakes states. It
Is said that they have caused loss
on an average Of 100000 bushels Of
small grain because of rust damage.
The federal government and states
have spent during the last eight years
$2,56O,OOO in barberry eradication
work.

Contact Sprays Destroy
Lice on Cucumber Plant

It is not usually very satisfactory
to do anything to combat the lice
which work on ncumbers and many
other plants. when they became very
numerous. About all that can be done
Is to spray with some of the contact
nelson's. such as insect powder. nicO-
tine sulphate, Black Leaf 40, etc..
which can be obtained at drug store.
As a general thing the insects called
lady bugs, Of which there are several
kinds, keep the lice down to small
numbers, but once in while the lice
become very abundant. II you use q
spray It must be done very thorough
" and probably quite often, and even
then you may not save the plants be-
fore they are so much injured as to be
unable to produce q crop.

MOOSEHEART CHILDREN
HAVE A SAVINGS BANK

Mooseheart, Illinois, The only
children's bank, conducted exclusively
for children is operated here.
This chiid' ems bank at tins time nas
| deposits totalling $4,000, and these
deposits are guaranteed by the assets
of the Loyal Order Of Moose, which
total $35 5,000,000.0O.
Everyone of the 1900 children here
is depositor in the bank.
This unique bank is operated like
any national bank, yet it has no presi-
dent, directors or officers.
All phases of banking are carried
on, including all kinds of deposits,
and the making of loans. The bank is
part of the school curriculum, so
that the children will have gained a
thorough knowledge Of how to deal
with banks, for their benefit after
they have completed their school ca
reer.
Loans of money are made to the
older children, who wish to buy ar
ticles which are called luxuries. All
necessities Of life are provided for
the Mooseheart children, yet bicycles,
roller skates and the like are listed
as Injuries and children wishing for
them may get them with their own
money. If their bank account would
not warrant making the expenditure
they are permitted to make a loan,
providing the superintendent grants
permission. No interest is charged
for the use Of the money, although
phantom charge for interest is made
to let them know that it costs money
to use money of others
The children's bank is the means
of teaching the children thrift, and
they are taught how to spend money
judiciously.
Money is accumulated by the chill
dren in various ways. There has
never been corporal punishment here.
The merit and demerit system is used.
The smaller children are given a gold
star for each day they violate no rule
in either their cottage or the kinder
garten and low rooms in the school,
For each gold star penny is de-
posted in the bank to their credit. If
they lose star, they lose the credit
of IA cents for the week. Of each IA
cents deposited in the bank they are
permitted to spend four cents week.
Older boys and girls, who are en-
ployed at tasks outside of their regu-
lar assignments are paid a fixed
hourly salary, and earn money that
way.
All accounts in the chi;dren's bank
are divided equally, between the
checking and savings accounts. After
a oh;ld hoe communicated Gin a cav
ings account in its name is opened
with bank in an outside city, so
that the account can draw interest.

ROSTON WOOL MARKET

The market is at a standstill, pend
ing developments in the British strike.
Boston looks to the disturbance in the
textile industry in England to help
advance prices here, or at least to
stiffen values little. Sydney remains
strong and the Continent and Japan
active. Most of the good wools avail
able in that market will be sold by
the middle of May. In the west, an
interesting development is the purch-
ase of the Jericho wools in Utah by
st. Louis house. The price paid is
considerably below the upset price
heretofore established by the grow
ers. At other western points the sea-
son is progressing slowly, with little
change in values. The change Of
heart on the part of the Jericho peo-
pie is expected to have a depressing
effect upon other sellres. There is a
feeling in some quarters that goods
already ordered in England may not
be delivered. 1t is expected that If
the strike is long drawn out there
will be cancellation Of these overseas
orders and a movement to reenter
them on this side. This would have
a stimulating effect in the wool mar
ket, though there is always the dam
ger that the strike may end sudden
", and cancellations follow here as
well as in England. Depression still
rules in the Summer street houses,
with values tending downward until
the strike uncertainty interfered.

.DF. A. E. DOUGLASS WILL
COMPLETE THREE BOOKS

An extensive program of scientific
research and the possible completion
of three books, all valuable contri-
buttons to science, are planned by DIR.
A. +. Douglass, professor of astron-
omy at the university, during the
year of Sabbatical leave granted him
for the school year of 1926-27 by the
board of regents.
While the year of absence will in
clude at least two trips east, where
he is scheduled to lecture, and trip
next October to England or Norway
where he hopes to go to witness 4
total eclipse of the sun, which may be
seen most advantageously from one
or the other Of the two countries, DR..
Douglass expects to establish his
headquarters at Flagstaff, where
most of the year will be spent in
completing two and possibly three Of
his books, most of the material for
which is already in the possession of
DR., Douglass.
One of these books, which DR..
Douglass is writing for the Carnegie
Institution, and on which he has been
working all winter, with Interrupt
tions, will be a further volume on
climatic cycles and tree growth, which
will be a study of the annual rings Of
trees in relation to climate and solar
lowed by work in relation to fossil
activity This volume will be fol-
tree rings and what they signify of
the past in regard to climate, DR..
Douglas explained. The third volume

finish during his leave will deal with
material which he has obtained from
prehistoric ruins, including Egyp
tian mummy coses, as far as the tree
rings in those woods can give infor-
nation.
DR.. Douglass was for many years
resident of Flagstaff and made his
first studies Of tree growth here.
