Bloodless and knifeless surgical
operations in which tissues are cut
by an electric spark are said to have
been performed successfully by Pro-
fessor Albert Doderlein of the Uni
versity of Munich.
An alternating electric current Of
about 1000 volts, DR.. Doderlein said
is passed through the patient lying
on the operating table from the feet
to the head. Using a fine needle,
which forms the negative pole of
the electric circuit, he traces what
in ordinary operations would be a
cut through the skin. The sparks
jumping from the body to the needle
point, he said, sever the tissues
with the precision of an extremely
sharp knife and without a flow
of blood. A knife is used only after
an opening has been effected.
DR.. Doderlein lists among the adj
vantages of his electric operations
the virtual elimination of the dan
gers of infection and more skillful
work because of the absence of
blood.

FARM
POULTRY
RIGHT FEED WILL
STOP SOFT SHELLS

At this time of the year no COM
plant is much more common than that
hens are laying soft-shelled eggs. This
means considerable loss through a
corresponding reduction in the guam
tity of marketable eggs produced. The
causes of soft-shelled eggs are well
known to the well-informed poultry
man. He understands that the APP
pearance Of such an egg Is an indica-
ton of improper feeding and he gov
ems himself accordingly.
The yolk of the egg is fully formed
when it breaks from the hens ovary
and drops into the funnel-shaped
mouth of the oviduct. 1t is at this
point that fertilization of the egg takes
place, If the egg is to be fertilized and
probably within few minutes of the
breaking loose of the yolk. In about
three hours the formation of the
thicker albumen is completed, this
taking place in the upper and central
sections of the oviduct
The third and last section of this
organ secretes the shell membrane,
and it also requires about three hours
for the shell to form therein. By the
expansion and contraction of the walls
Of the Oviduct the egg is forced for
ward into the shell gland, where the
lime is deposited, and within u to
"a hours the egg is laid. One can
readily see that anything that would
have tendency to make the egg pass
too rapidly through this portion of
the oviduct would cause the hen to
lay sOft-shelled eggs.
The first and usual cause of soft
Shelled eggs is that the bird is too fat.
The muscular movement of the oviduct
is hindered by layers of fat, and In
stead of the egg being controlled by
firm muscles it merely slips through
a fiabby mass without getting its shell
on. The difficulty will vanish if the
birds are made to scratch hard in a
clean, dry straw litter for all their
grain, and the ration fed is not over
fattening. Sprouted oats will be a
valuable food, as they are less fat
tening than either wheat or corn. In
oOAnO -NdSCo II might QO well W OA1ll lOE
a few days all mashes, especially
moist mashes, If many soft-shelled
eggs are coming through.
The second source of sOft-sheIled
eggs is lack of lime in the hens ra-
ton. In this case the shell-secreting
part of the oviduct fails to do its
work because of lack of material.
Oyster shell broken fine enough for
the hens to eat or dry granulated
bone are good sources for the lime
required. 1t is claimed by some poul-
trymen that the use of limestone grit
also helps to supply material to the
hen. 1t is often recommended that
old plaster or mortar be broken or
ground fairly fine and thrown into a
box in the pen for the birds to eat.

with further interconnections part of
a vast superpower system extending
from the upper peninsula of Michigan
throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, and into Virginia. The Com
monwealth Edison companys capacity
is now $4,000 kilowatts, of which 16O,-
600 kilowatts comes from the Crawford
avenue generating station in Chicago.
But the capacity of this station will be
increased to 235,000 kilowatts this year
and eventually will be expanded to
900 or 100000 kilowatts, making
1t the largest station in the world. The
superpower system Is meeting the in
creasing use of electricity at relatively
lower costs.
It is no secret that engineers see in
the near future electrical power quite
generally In use in factory, farm and
household, furnished by great central
power stations run by water and by
steam and distributed by intercon-
nected systems forming one central
lied and highly efficient system.
Electrical companies are in the bust
ness to make money. of course, but
their future prosperity depends largely
upon getting many customers. And the
big companies are working hard on the
problems Of rural electrifcation.
DIR. e. A. White, director of the Ma
tional Committee on the Relation of
Electricity to Agriculture, says in
part in Power Plant Engineering
(Chicago):
Seventeen state committees on the
relation of electricity to agriculture
spread from New Hampshire on the
east to California on tho west, from
Alabama in the south to Minnesota on
the north. with goodly representa-
tion in the corn belt Study of the
possibilities for the use Of electricity
on the farm has become an established
project in agricultural experiment sta
tons Farmers. agricultural leaders,
electrical men, manufacturers are at
work on this problem. 1t Is no longer
question of whether this thing
should be or not: 1t is. The real prob
lem is how to secure maximum results
at minimum expense.
Today there are at least 1900, 900
farms within reasonable reach Of pri-
mary distribution systems. This is
somewhat less than one-fourth of the
total. With an average of three farms
per mile this means rural distribution
lines to reach ITO times across this
continent--and. at the minimum figure
of $1,000 per mile. will represent an
investment of $5O0,000,000. 1t is safe
to predict that, to make electric service
a dominant factor in agriculture twice
as much will be spent on the farms as
in the building of rural distribution
lines Thus it appears that this Is
$500. 100000 undertaking.
It is coming to be recognized that
the first step is the development of a
rate system adapted to agriculture. A
number of rural rates have recently
been developed. The general tendency
is for these rates to contain a mini
mum charge in some form considerably
higher than in the case OF urban rates
and to taper off rapidly to low energy
rates. The attempt is made to divide

Keeping Records Shows
Profits From Hen Flock

The year 1925 was a good one for
the poultryman who kept close tabs
on his flock.
Profits for the year ending Novem-
Der l ran slightly higher than a year
ago in most counties / have visited so
far for summarizing records" writes
G. S. Vickers, poultry extension spe-
cialist at the Ohio State university, in
a letter sent to the 1910 Ohio farm
ers who keep flock records in cooper
alton with the university.
Indications are that these poultry
men will average 1870 eggs or more per
hen for the year. The state average is
about seventy eggs.
In Medina county the high flock
made a net profit of $3.3S on each hen
housed at the start of the year, while
the low flock made forty-two cents a
hen. The low man cannot possibly
maintain the same standard of living
the high man can. He has a problem
to meet if he wants more of these
worldly goods.

mean to him to have ample low-priced
power for use about the farm and
home. Nikola Tesla, the electrical
wizard" says that this power will soon
be transmitted by wireless. For the
time being, however, electrical energy
will continue to be increasingly sup
piled by transmission lines. Many
agencies are working to the end that
this electrical power may be generally
distributed under satisfactory condi-
lions.
Home industries reached by good
roads and motor cars" said Guy e.
Trip, chairman of the Westinghouse
company, in recent address to the
Engineers Society of Western Penn
syivania, ''power-driven farms, mod
ern appliances in the home and busy
contented unit would mean that the
American rural home has been re-
established on modern basis. For q
steady diet Omar Khayyam's paradise
would not be a patch on that Utopia,
If, as and when it comes"
Superpower, over which many of our
public men are waging wordy battles,
is more Of tendency than thing.
Superpower is the growth of the power
industry along lines involving more
efficient plants, wider interconnection
and a more centralized control. Some
denounce superpower as a giant which
win strange America. Others see in
it magic which will work wonders
for the people.
Superpower certainly has special
advantages for the electrical industry.
One basic reason is that the cost
OF making electricity is very small
compared with the cost OF distribut-
ing it-about / to 6. If systems hav-
ing different demands on their service
can be so connected that the power
can be used at all times Of the "a
hours, there are obviously great econ
omies In operation and possibilities of
reduced rates to consumers.
Anyway, the superpower is already
here. For example, Samuel insult says
In the annual reports of the Common
wealth Edison company just made:

great pool of power, with large and
economical electric generating stations
not only in Chicago but In the sur
rounding territory The system forms

the rate into fixed charges and an en-
ergy charge on the kilowatt-hour basis.
Following the establishment of q
satisfactory rate, electric light and
power companies are organizing to put
a comprehensive plan behind their rural
service programs. During the past
year at least six prominent companies
have appointed men to have sole
charge of this work. One company
has gone further and established
rural service department. In some
cases rural electric districts are being
mapped out and distribution systems
planned to make service available to
every resident in the district.
Mfr. Tripp in his address to the En-
gineers' society called attention to the
fact that there has been an applica-
ton Of power to practically all Indus
tries except the farming industry, and
that in consequence the latter has
Jagged behind. He also made this
point:
Everybody knows, or should know,
that the standards of living and wages
of the world, expressed in common
purchasing power of money, are al
most in exact ratio to the amount OF
power placed at the disposal of the
worker: the fact often over
looked is that the use Of machinery
and modern appliances has been a
great influence in developing the
masses of men into more alert If not
more Intelligent human beings"
Mrs. John D. Sherman, president of
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, applied the same thought to
the American housewife in an adj
dress before the National Electric
Light association last fall at San
Francisco. The General Federation
Is now completing Survey of the
American Home" with view to In
creasing the efficiency OF its house
keeping. Mrs. Sherman said There
is nothing that will furnish this eff
cheney as quickly and effectively as
electricity-the cheapest item in the
family budget" and added:
In the heart OF the home-maker per-
forming her daily tasks in the old and
wasteful way turks a discomfort,
sense of injustice, a resentment over
the drudgery involved in home making.
over other inadequately equipped
home-makers spreads an apathy and
resignation which argues arrested
growth and an indifference to stand

United States today is the greatest in
dustry in the world--and it's improve
ment is a challenge to Uncle Sam and
to such groups as are represented in
the National Electric Light association
and the General Federation of Wom-

The National Electric Light asso-
citation - noncommerclal organiza-
tion-has long been working on ways
and means of applying electrical serv-
ice to farming communities. Many of
the Public Utilities are cooperating.
The Alabama Power company, for ex-
ample. is building lit miles Of expert

Eggs can be produced cheaply only
from high-producing stock.
No one grain supplies all the feed
elements needed for egg production in
the right proportion.
Yellow corn, according to scientists,
is better food for poultry as it con-
tains vitamine A which is essential
to the poultry diet.
Egg eating is hard vice to cure
It usually starts from the hens break
ing thin-shelIed eggs. TO prevent the
laying of such eggs give the hens
plenty of oyster shells. Darkening the
nests discourages egg-eating, and more
beef scrap in the ration helps to break
it up.
Most of the fault found with In
cubators traces to one big mistake
failure to heed the manufacturers d.
rections.
The shape or weight OF eggs in
no way shows what sex the chicks
will be. according to Department Of
Agriculture tests.
