The World and All
ID THE WORLD

Haven't you known people who seemed to be able
to get BY" beautifully without any ability or real
worth? Men who kid the world with their bluff, and
women who accomplish the same result with their
beauty?
Yes, they do exist. I can't tell you how uniformly
successful they are, over a long period Of years, for 1
always try not to know them very intimately or for a
very long time. But | have seen both men and women
getting by famously without an ounce Of brains or
ability. Those who know them we'll say to one another,
"How do they do it? Have they all got uncles near the
top of the business or fathers-in-law who are theatrical
producers?'
I've just been reading q novel about a woman who
somehow managed TO make almost everybody believe
she was a great writer, a sensitive soul, a sympathetic
angel and a generous saint. She almost made herself
believe il.
| really believe Anne Parrish took a certain pretty
well-known woman poet-author for her type, and
dressed her up and fictionized her enough to hide the
individual from almost everybody. Let him who will
take pains to guess the original, but l have my own
guess all registered.
Miss Parrish's heroine grows up a spoiled girl. She
is rather beautiful and rather srail in appearance, and
her mother spoils her. Christabel likes being spoiled,
and she poses always, for mother and for herself, as
well as for the rest Of the relatives and the strangers.
She gets the habit Of being the center Of attention, and
she has an awful headache or faints or does something
else that will attract attention and sympathy, if she
happens TO be somewhere and finds that someone else
is receiving all the attention.
You know the type.
Well, Christabel succeeds. She kids her family. her
neighbors, and scores Of new friends in the city. Then
she marries and kids her husband. She keeps them all
kneeling to her all the time. and at the end Of the
book they're all doing it.
But this is a novel, remember. Just fiction. In
real life the Christabels often get some hard bumps,
I'm sure. In the story, Uncle Johnny saw through
Christabel and her silly pretences. Well, in real life
there are millions Of Uncle Johnnies. Still, it really is
marvellous how some Of them get by, even in real life.

Manure for Gardens Is
of Much Importance

Most home gardens need fertilizer
in the form of manure supplemented
with complete vegetable fertilizer
or superphosphate, and, for some
vegetables. lime is good. Lime, how
ever, encourages scab on potatoes and
may be harmful to beets according
to the New York College of Agricul-
ture. Manure should be applied at
the rate of 10 to 20 tons to an acre,
or, on the basis of smaller areas, sc
to 100 pounds to 100 square feet Of
space.
The supplementary fertilizers should
be applied at the rate of two to three
pounds to 100 square feet Of garden.
On rich soils, it is advisable not to
manure too heavily as tomatoes and
root crops may produce excessive top
growth at the expense of fruit and
roots. Under such conditions either
superphosphate or complete COM
mercial garden fertilizer will usually
overcome the difficulty. If manure is
not available, leaves, lawn clippings,
and similar plant refuse may be used
as source of humus.S These should
be supplemented with two to four
pounds of high grade garden ferti-
1lizer for each 100 square feet.

Scientists Unable to
Do Away With Fogs

On a small scaleand in favorable
circumstances fog can be dispelled,
but all known methods are too costly
for commercial use, and SO could not
be applied on the vast scale on which
many fogs occur; even were they Of
proved use. A great deal of time and
labor has been seriously expended in
the effort to suppress fog. The Lon
don county council has from time to
time given some encouragement to va
rious schemes presented, but all have
failed. No less a distinguished scien-
fist than Sir Oliver Lodge has strugT
gled with this problem and he thought
he had solved it, but practical demon
stration of his electrical scheme
failed. Various suggestions have been
made to. clear aviation landing places,
bat all have been discarded and the
solution Of the problem seems to be
no nearer than it ever was.

Seed Potatoes Need
to Be Chilled Soon
Dormant Period Ends Some
Time in January. a

i
Late Id December or early In Jan
uary the dormant period for seed po-
tatoes grown and stored In Ohio will
end. ana precautions should be taken
to establish a temperature OF about
80 to SO degrees Fahrenheit, which
will prevent sprouting in storage. I'm
til early January. the dormant tubers
will not sprout, regardless Of the tenn
perature. Some 6,300 bushels Of seed
potatoes will be stored in Ohio this
winter, according to Earl B. Tussing,
horticulture specialist at the Ohio
State university.
= Sprouting 10 storage, due to temper
atures being too high, is far more
common than damage from freezing
OF stored seed potatoes. which will
Withstand a temperature as low as 20
degrees, according to John Bushnell,
of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment
station at Wooster.
When the dormant period of the po-
tatoes ends, the low temperature
should have been established in the
case OF potatoes stored in easements,
by ventilating during cool weather
and closing the ventilators on warm
days. When spring warmth comes,
ventiiating should be done during cool
nights, with the same end in view.
If the potatoes are stored in pits
that is, covered with alternate lay
ers of straw and dirt-they should be
covered very lightly in the fall, so
that the temperature may be lowered,
and the heavy layers of covering add
ed only after the SO to 38-degree point
has been reached. In the spring the
covers should be removed when the
temperature commences to rise.

Sunlight Not SO
Vital for Cows
Rays Have Remarkably
Beneficial Effect on Chicks,
Pigs and Goats.

With the development of knowl-
edge that light plays an important
part in the retention of minerals fed to
animals, the question naturally arose,
Does exposure Of dairy cows to sum-
mer sunshine enable them to obtain
and utilize from the pasture grasses
sufficient lime to keep them. on a posi-
tive lime basis?'
Effects Of the Sun.
To answer this very practical query
Messrs. Hart and Steenbock carried
on careful experiments in June, when
the protective properties Of the sun
are at a peak. using cows giving 45
to 60 pounds of milk daily. The cows
were fed grain mixture, siIage, and
40 pounds daily of freshly cut green
grass. This approximates what would
be given cows Of this character on bet
ter dairy farms. The results indicated
that this ration was insufficient to
keep the cows on a positive lime basis.
In fact, there was only slightly i'm
proved situation as concerns lime as
similation when these cows were
placed in direct sunlight for six hours
daily as compared to standing in a
larkened barn. Apparently then, the
rays of the sun have remarkably
beneficial effect on little chicks, pigs
and goats, but with dairy cows no
such positive benefits can be observed.
Cows Again Studied.
When these same cows were again
studied in September, after their milk
production had dropped to 25 or 80
pounds of milk daily, lime balance was
maintained, even though the sunlight
at this season was less potent. 1T
seems apparent from these results that
the feeding of extra lime to nigh pro-
ducing dairy cows, while on summer
pasture, is very desirable procedure.
1t may ver5 well be, true that the COM
monty noted falling off in milk pro
duction in midsummer, on the part
Of heavy milking dairy animals, may
be due to a depletion of their. lime re-
serves, just as much as to the more
commonly attributed causes such as
heat and flies.
It has been concluded that light
plays no role in the utilization of lime
by cows. Possibly this also explains
why younig calves grow better when
kept in barn, rather than out of
doors. as contrasted to young chicks,
little pigs, and other young animals
which seem to demand sunlight as an
essential for normal growth. Wiscon-

Large Poultry Business
Paws Better Than Small

Large flocks Of poultry pay better
than small ones, says 3. G. Misner,
professor of farm management at the
New York State College of Agriculture
at Ithaca. N. Y. He points out that
this is largely because of better labor
efficiency in handling larger flocks,
and because large businesses usually.
sell more baby chicks.
Recent studies show that some
poultrymen lost more than $1,000 1ur-
ing 1926 and more than one-tenth Of
the poultry farms studied failed to
make 5 per cent interest on their in
vestments, although they got nothing
{ for their time About 26 per cent
made as much as $1,000 for their
years work, managing their farms and
caring for the hens Only 10 per cent
of the poultry farms studied made as
much as $4,000, although 1926 was an
unusually good year for poultrymen
because feed was cheaper and eggs
higher than ordinary.
Professor Misner further points out
that the farms included in his inves-
LEGATIONS have on the average, cap
ital investment of about $16,8S2, and
the average labor income was $1,654.
The hens laid an. average of 100 eggs
each. The 9S,970 pullets raised cost
$1.10 each. and it cost $1.95 year
to feed a hen. on the average.

turn get the disease. The hest way
to control this disease is by cleanli-
ness, isolation and disinfeetion.
As soon as COW shows any signs
CT aborting she should be isolated
from the herd and kent separate until
all discharges have come away The
stall must be cleaned and disin-
fected as well as the hind quarters of
the cow. The fetus and afterbirth
must, be burned or buried, the manure
from the stall taken directly TO, a field
to which cattle have no access. Care
must be taken not to carry the germs
of the disease from the stall where
an infected COW stands to the feed Of
other cows. These germs are usually

by not carrying the germs to the feed

1t is always advisable to employ a
competent veterinarian to help control
the disease. 1t will not pay to sell a
COW that has aborted, since any new
COW coming into the herd will take
the disease.
