Snakes Used Medicinolly

A French doctor says that In
many houses In his district dried
adders are preserved, and when any
member Of the family catches a
cold or suffers from chills and fe-
yer, he Is given dose of liquid
prepared from pieces Of the dried
snake boiled In water for quarter
of an hour. This opens the pores
and causes the patient to perspire.
Pieces of dried snakes are also
sold by chemists to drive away,
among other things, the rosy rash
that accompanies measles.

Equipment for washing. circulat-

buildings Of the National Geological
park at Washington to protect the
health of 1900 animals and birds,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
In most Of the houses, conditions
like those Of an ideal June day are
maintained with temperature Of
6S degrees, relative humidity Of 40
to As per cent and the air slowly
moving. The installation has made
possible the safekeeping Of animals
that ordinarily would not thrive in

Toys Thought Wonders

Less than 200 years ago, three
quite ordinary mechanical toys at
tracted great attention when they
were exhibited. One was a figure
that played the flute, another q
tambourine player. and the third q
swimming duck.
Lifelike canaries that sing nat
urally when they are wound up
are commonplace toys nowadays.
The first of this type of toy was
shown at the great exhibition of
1851 In England.

Feeding the Dairy Cow

Feeding the Dairy Cow
The dairy cows feed require
ments can best be supplied in wint-
er by means of hay, silage, roots,
and grain. Properly cured legume
hays, such as alfalfa, clover, vetch-
es, soy beans, and cowpeas, are we'll
suited for feeding to dairy cows,
as they are high in both protein
and assimilable minerals and
they are also very palatable. Sill
age and stored root crops supply
succulent roughage feeds during
the period when no green grass is
available. They are of special
value in keeping the cows digestive
system in good working order and
in stimulating the milk flow. Corn,
oats, barley, and kafir are examples
of farm-grown grains commonly
used for feeding dairy cows. All
of these grains should be ground
before feeding.
Wood-boring insects cause an
annual loss estimated at $45, ,000,-
900 to wood products in process
of manufacture and use. Much of
this could be prevented by proper
precautions in handling and utiliza-
ton. -
By the Act of Congress Of
August 10, 1912, ten per cent of
the national forest receipts is CIV
er each year to the Forest Service
of the United States Department of
Agriculture for the construction
of roads and trails within the ma
tional forests. Last year this
amounted to $514,040.68, which
was prorated to the various States
according to the receipts of the
forests in those States.
For feeding dairy calves, skim
milk is considerably more valuable
than SKINNED whey. Skim milk
from the average separator will
analyze about ga per cent protein
and about OIL per cent butterfat.
SKINNED whey usually contains
about 0.8 per cent protein and Oh
per cent butterfat. The sugar con-
tent is about the same in whey as
in skim milk, being nearly 5 per
cent. Whey should be fed to calves
only when strictly fresh and when
scrupulous care and cleanliness are
followed. Far greater success will
be obtained with skim milk.

Income Tax Problems
Simplified for All
No. "a.


Various penalties are imposed by

Distinction is made between failure
and "willful failure" to file a return.
For failure to file a return on time,
the penalty is rs per cent of the
amount of the tax, unless a return is
later filed and it is satisfactorily
shown to the commissioner of internal
revenue that such failure was due to
q reasonable cause and not to willful
neglect. If q taxpayer exercised ordi-
nary business care and prudence and
nevertheless was unable to file q re-
turn within the prescribed time, the
delay is due to a reasonable cause"
For Willful failure to make a return
the penalty Is not more than $4,000
or imprisonment for not more than
one year, or both and, in addition. %
per cent of the amount of the tax.

Judges Mother to
Make Long Trip

Judge Kendall Perkins was all
smiles when he arrived at city
court this morning and perused a
telegram which awaited him.
He beamed like sehoolboy when
he passed over. the message, radio
wire from Honolulu, informing him
tnat his mother, Mrs. Matte H,
Perkins, would arrive IN Los Ang-
eles Wednesday and would stop over
for day.
The Judge explained then that
his mother, who lives in Honolulu,
has started on a trip WHICH will car
ry her across the United States and
the Atlantic. She plans to visit Chi
cago and New York enroute, then
90 abroad, visiting points of inter
est in England, SPains and France.
His honor was extremely pleased
for he has a new granddaughter
to show his mother when he visits
her at Los Angeles. The Perkins
family will make a holiday of the
occasion, Marilyn, the oldest dau-
ghter renewing acquaintance with
her grandmother whom she met
when she was three months old
and Suzanna, the baby of the fam
lily, seeing her granny for the
llrst time.
