er and shade also contribute to
thriftiness and rapid growth. Write
to the United States Department of
Agriculture for a full account of
the swine sanitation system.
Any hen will lay in the spring.
Many more eggs are produced in
the spring than are consumed at
that time, while in fall and winter
there are not eggs enough laid to
meet the consumer demand.
The u. S. Department of Agri-
culture is now developing hardy
chrysanthemums which will bloom
early in the northern States and
yet withstand the vigorous winters.
Explosives are very useful in
connection with agricultural work.
They are safe to use, it you use
care with them. But do not leave
them where the children can get
hold of them. Five hundred chill
dren are crippled each year in the
United States by playing with
blasting caps which they have pick
ed up near mines, or in fields where
agricultural blasting has been done.
Most potato diseases are caused
by microscopic, parasites, princi-
pally fungi and bacteria, but
weather, soil and cultural condi-
lions usually determine whether a
disease becomes destructive or not.
For this reason the weather is mis-
takenly sometimes said to cause
the disease. The cause of anoth-
er group of potato diseases is un-
known, but they behave like infec-
tious diseases, except that they are
permanently perpetuated in the
tubers when used as seed. Hence
they are sometimes called degener-
alton diseases, or running out.
If well-fed animal becomes un-
thrifty, parasitism is to be sus-
pected. Probably about 10 per
cent of all livestock losses are
due to worms and other parasites.
The easiest way to make brown
gravy to serve with a roast is to
stir the flour into the fat drip
pings, and brown by heating care
fully over hot flame. Use about

from the houses daily and place
where fowls will not have access
to them. Clean and disinfect, at
frequent intervals, the houses and
all feeding and drinking utensils.
The use of permanganate of pot
ash in the drinking water, at the
rate of one-third teaspoon of per-
manganate to the gallon of water,
serves to prevent the spread of
infection by means of water,
which otherwise is likely to be con-
taminated by discharges from di-
seased birds. It is also advisable to
give the entire flock a dose of Ep-
som salt in the proportion of one
half teaspoon to the adult fowl.
The salt may be mixed in a suffi-
cient quantity of mash for one
feeding.
The corn earworm is one of the
most destructive insect enemies of
corn in the United States. The
pest occurs throughout the entire
country wherever corn is grown.
Green sweet corn suffers the great
est damage, but it has been esti-
mated that 2 per cent of field corn
is annually destroyed by the ear
worm. In the south the damage
is much heavier. In Virginia the
time of planting, or rather the
thine of silking, has been found to
be the most important factor, af-
fecting earworm damage. Where
the crop of field corn can be
brought into silk at the period
when moths are least abundant,
the infestation and damage are
greatly redured. Serious injury
from the pest is not so likely to
occur if the husk is long and closes
tightly around the silks.
The prevention of stunted
growth and death losses among
young livestock will make stock
raising more profitable. The
threat against an animals life, is
greatest at birth, or shortly at
forwards. The chief causes of ear
ly deaths in livestock fall into two
general classes: First, those cap
able of considerable reduction,
chiefly through eradication of di-
sease among the mature stock,
proper hygiene, sanitary isolation,
and medical treatment. In this
class are tuberculosis, acute respi-
ratory diseases, certain acute con-
tagious diseases, and some diseas-
es caused by animal parasites. In
the second class are those diseases
capable of great reduction through
proper feeding, care, and santa
ton, such as acute digestive di-
seases, goiter troubles, prematur-
ity (if not too great), and many
forms of parasitism. 81.
Experience shows that the swine
sanitation system helps to prevent
day dietary deficiencies, cholera,
and other ailments to large ex-
tent. This is to he expected from
cleanliness. Separate young ami
mails from groups of older animals
and their infected surroundings.

as much flour as you have fat.
You will get a brown color if the
meat drippings are almost entire
ly fat that is, if no water has
been added in roasting the meat
After the mixture becomes brown,
water or milk is added to COM
plete the gravy. Another way to
make rich brown gravy is to
brown the flour before it is add
ed to the gravy, in smooth, pol
ished skillet. Some housekeepers
keep flour Drowned in this way on
hand for gravies. Flour loses it's
thickening power when Drowned,
SO some additional white flour must
be used in making a thick gravy.
Grapefruit can be served in a
number of ways. AS breakfast
fruit it is cut in halves crosswise,
and each section is cut around
with sharp knife. The seeds and
tough center are removed. Gran
ulated or powdered sugar is
passed. For first course at din
ner the halves of grapefruit, sim
ilarly prepared, are garnished with
a preserved cherry or strawberry,
a bit of firm red jelly, some Mall
aga or Tokay grapes with seeds re-
moved, bits Of ginger, or other
tasty preserves in fairly firm piec-
es. Grapefruit salad is often gar
nished with pimento. Or the
grapefruit may be combined with
oranges, apples, dates, canned pine
apple, or other fruit mixtures. The
same ingredients with sugar in
stead of salad dressing are served
as fruit cup. -

Agricultural Notes

Maintaining forest cover on
steep slopes is the surest and
cheapest method of protection
against soil erosion.
1t is an excellent forestry prac-
tice to cut out the badly diseased,
crooked, overcrowdei, and infer
Tor trees for fuel wood, giving
more growing space to the straight
promising young trees and better
kinds.
The horse has a relatively small
stomach and can not take care OF
great quantities of coarse nonnu-
tritious feed, but there must be
sufficient bulk to the ration to
make normal the process of diges-
ton. Both concentrates and
roughages are generally necessary.
Silage has certain laxative pro-
perties which keep the digestive
organs of animals in good condi-
ton. Livestock receiving some
form of succulent feed have keen
er appetites, softer and more PHI
able skins, and a more thrifty,
more healthy appearance than
those fed exclusively on dry ra-
tions.
Hay caps are used primarily to
protect partially cured hay from
rain. During the process of cur
ing hay throws off large per cent
of water. When it is put into the
cock a heating or sweating pro-
cess takes place, Ifthe hay is wet
by rain while in the cock it heats
too rapidly, and its feeding value
is lessened or ruined. The use of
hay caps on hay cooked at the right
stage will prevent damage by rain.
A farmer living in the blue
grass section 10 miles south OF
Nashville, Tennessee planted black
locust sprouts on several acres OF
worn out hillside that was washing
badly. In 20 years there were
800 trees per acre yielding 1000
fence posts. A fair value in the
standing tree was Is cents per
post, or a total value of $500 per
acre. This is an average gross
yield of SIS per acre yearly. Sim
liar growth and returns have been
measured in the limestone val
legs of West Virginia, while on the
upland shale soils of the same
State yields at 25 years equivalent
to an average yearly return of Sc
to SO per acre have been found.

Pigs Need Water as
Well as Feed to Gain

Water is as essential as feed,
and perhaps more essential, in the
production of hogs on a successful
scale, says E. F. Ferrin, who is in
charge of the swine section of the
animal husbandry division, Uni
versity Farm. A regular supply
of fresh clear water is a necessary
part of the care to which hogs are
entitled. They should have plenty
of water to drink three times a
day. Two waterings on hot day

ease which might be termed aero
nautic hysteria was epidemic
through Italy today as the country
awaited word from West Africa that
Colonel francesca De Pinedo had
started on nonstop fight across
the South Atlantic to Brazil.
If De Pinedo succeeds in that per-
ilous venture and completes the re-
naming stages of his $4,000 mile
flight through South America, the
United States, Canada and back to
Italy by way of the North Atlantic,
it appears that he will definitely have

Meantime, while De Pinedo await
ed at Bolma, Italy took to the air or
to air schools to learn how to manip-
ulate the craft which suddenly has
become the symbol of the Italian
greatness that is to be. The millions
of Italians who neither could fly nor
find time to be taught the art con-
tented themselves today with talk of
flying.
In cafes, shops and on the Bourse,
De Pinedo's prowess, the chances
for success and Mussolini's desire
that Italians be foremost in flying
were discussed. According to discus
sion in the cafes, Mussolini had said,
For Italian aviators, the Atlantic
must be regarded as the Mediter-
ranean.'
a remark attributed to De Pinedo
also gained wide circulation. He was
supposed to have said: 1T is my
hope that every kilometer we fly will
arouse the wish to become aviators
in the hearts of young Italians"
Members of the cabinet added to
the sudden prominence of aviation
by fulfilling their engagements by
air. Under Secretary Balbo, of the
air ministry, left Rome Saturday,
spent the night at Cagliari. Sardinia,
where he babe De Pinedo good by,

Dean David Stanley Smith of the
Yale school of music said today.
ut Is the first time in the long
history of the symphony Orchestra
that student composition has been
placed on q regular program. along
with compositions by more mature
composers. The fact is more remark
able In that the composition is the
work of a woman, for there have
been very few women composers
who have reached the point of writ
ing music in the larger form"
Miss Mar is a native Of Bayonne.
