between the average and the poorer
farms of the community. 1t is also
frequently found that there is differ
ence of over $1,000 between the aver
age farm and few of the better
farms of the community. These diff
ferences of from $1,000 to $4,000 per
farm in the net income are Of vital
concern to any farm in any commu-
nifty.
Where to Get the Facts
Farm records and inventories will
reveal the reasons for these differ
ences. The various colleges Of agri-
culture and the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture have collection
of records and farm management sur
veys from which they find it possible
to construct standards or guides
showing actual attainments under
good systems Of management Fig
ures OF this kind are available to
county agents and farmers who desire
to use them. It is also possible to
organize farm accounting groups in a
community and with the help OF the
College of Agriculture to develop COM
munity standards showing what the
average and what the better farms
are doing These standards or exam
Piles of what the more successful
farms are doing, when handled in
such way as not to divulge the iden-
tity of the owners, are wonderful
help in pointing out to the less sue
cessful farmers the weak spots in the
business management of their farms.
How to Use the Facts
The farmer who keeps careful
record of the factors relating to- the
business management of his farm is
in position to compare his farm with
the average and with the best in the
volume of business, as number OF
acres, total investment, number OF
cows. total receipts and total ex-
penses. He can check on his diver
sity OF income by comparing his in
come from sale Of cows, sale of live
stock, livestock products and sales
from miscellaneous sources. His
quality of business can be studied by
comparing such items as income per
acre or income per cow, ETC.
BY such process the farmer IL IN
position to make his records talk TO
him and point out the weak and the
strong features in his farm operation.
There, is no tax that we pay today
that compares with the tax We pay
for our ignorance. This is true on
the farm as elsewhere. Farm records.
including inventories from which 1t ia
easy to form financial statements.
will do wonders in reducing the tax
of ignorance and placing farm busi-
ness on business basis and inspire
confidence in the farmer, himself and
with all those with whom he deals.

HOG CHOLERA IN DECEMBER


The disease was reported to exist
on % premises in Maryland during
the month, against "a a year ago,
and year average of 33 for the
same period. Nineteen were classed
as primary and as secondary.
Seven were of the backyard type
that is, a few hogs kept in small
pens. Fifteen occurred on farms
where hogs are bred and raised.
Charles county had 4 outbreaks:
Kent and Hartford each; Howard,
Cecil and Somerset 2 each; Anne
Arundel, Caroline, Montgomery,
Prince Georges. Queen Anne's and
Worcester had l each.
OF the primary outbreaks, IA were
apparently due to infected pork in
garbage, table scraps, kitchen swirl,
etc., while 5 were due to the pur-
chase of infected hogs. or the
secondary outbreaks, were due TO
permitting hogs to run at large and
coming in contact with sick hogs,
while in case no history could be
obtained to determine how the hogs
obtained the infection.

The growth of the Bell System and
its connections has been nothing short
of phenomenal. Beginning with 1875
it took 23 years for the system to
reach 100000 telephones. In 1898, the
year of the Chicago Worlds Fair, it
had about 250,O0O and in 1898, when
the war with Spain occurred, it had
about 100000. The second 100000
were reached and passed in 1901,
three years later.
In the next three years nearly
100000 stations were added, making
over 100000 in 1904. In the next
three years over 100000 stations
were added and in the three years
following 100000 more BY 1913,
three years later, the additions were
2.25O,OO0 and by 1915 nearly 1885, 900
more. Nearly 100000 were added by
1919 and 100000 by 1922. The gain
in both the years 1923 and 1924
amounted to nearly 100000 each and
according to the present rate of
growth, the gain in 1925 will be almost
as great. At the beginning of October,
1926, there were 1s.4OO.OO0 telephones
in the System. Throughout all this
growth Better Service" has been the
patchwork
1t has required extraordinary fore
sight to keep ahead of this noteworthy
growth. 1t is said that the Bell on

lions on the skull to remove the cause
of crime are unwarranted medical
practice, in the opinion Of DR.. Shep.

versity Of California and expert in the
re-e1ucation Of the damaged brain.
The superstition that a bony pro-

formation due to accident may press
on the brain and be the specific cause
of wrongdoing Is rejected by DIR.
Franz and reiegated to the limbo Of
phrenology or like pseudo.science.
Surgeons Of questionable ethical
standards, with prospects Of a high
fee, have been willing to operate on a
criminal, the purpose, in part, being to
influence q trial court in the direction
Of leniency. In some cases Of this sort
the patient, profoundly Influenced by
so serious an operation on himself, has
actually been led to believe that the
treatment has cured him. Thus purely
by suggestion he deserts the criminal
life. To this extent only Is the cranial
operation OF any value.
Extended experiments in brain oper-
alton have convinced DIR. Franz that
the upper brain structure works gen
orally as q whole. and not in special
lied departments. Damage or pressure
on one spot does not throw any one
faculty alone out of commission. nor
does any single faculty or sense be-
long solely to one unique location.
Removal or destruction of a small
special brain area will seriously upset
the entire mental function, but the
patient can be re-educated to perform
all his duties with other cerebral ma
terial. Upon this assumption immoral

POLICE MAKE BOAT

Trim, Well Built Launch to Be
Presented to HesSe
This Week.

On a lazy Summer day two years
ago, Policeman John j. Geier, har-
Dor precinct, whiting away some
idle time, carved out. a neat idea. He
hummed a while as he examined all
sides of the idea and then went off
whistling.
From then on his leisure time on
duty at the water front was busy
time.
AS a result, an official presentation
of as speedy a. little police launch as
ever skipped over the Potomac win
be made Tuesday or wednesday
when the Edwin Is. Hesse will be
Christened and commissioned.
That's the result of the idea.
When the launch comes officially
into the department, smart and shin

il Will represent the elimination OF
two years efforts of three men--Geier,
principally, Lieut.. II. r. Lehman, COM

built bit by bit, little rough drawings
supplanting the blue prints usually
found in such important work. First
the keel was laid--long enough for a

sheep with the passing of the
Horseshoe range, property Of the
defunct COburn Cattle company, to
a group of sheep companies.
This range which has III acres
Of patented land and 21,117.3 acres
Of leased land is close to the trails
of the sheep as they pass from the
plateau to the lowland. The great
Horseshoe ranch was set up in
1916 when the Coburn interest
consolidated various holdings into
one big company. Before that
since 1870 the Bloody Basin" had
been known as, the home of the
range cattle.
However, war and postwar con-
ditiOns were not favorable to the
huge enterprise and a financial
structure which was erected to
perpetuate the company slipped
and fell, leaving the bond holders
with a loss.
