Passengers Not In
Danger From, Slide

Reports in Mexico papers that
passengers on a Southern Pacific
de Mexico train were m great dang

road
Titcomb's message, dated October
"a, reads as follows:
'aEbout 8 p. m. October 18 a slide

bout half way up the side of the
,car.
THE only damage, was the break

Proposed Amendment To Arizona
Constitution To Boost Gas Tax

ers the state of Arizona to issue and
sell highway bonds in prinsipal
amount of $10,0OO,O00 for construc-
ton and improvement of state high
ways.
It authorizes the loan commission
ers to sell the bonds and provides
for amortization of the issue out of
the portion of the funds to be re-
ceived from the proposed increase in
the motor fuel tax and out Of the
money that accrues to the state
highway department.
The amendment carries provi-
SION that "if said funds are insult
ficient Fer such purposes, the de-
ficiency shall be paid by tax levied
upon the taxable property in the
state of Arizona"
Highways are also classified under
the measure as primary and second
ary ard specifies the highways in
cluded IN each classification.
Immediately upon this article be-
coming effective, the loan commits
sioners shall issue and sell said
bonds in the amount of $1,000 600, y
the measure sets out, which shall
be for the account of and expendi-
ture Tor the current fiscal year.
Thereafter, to provide for expen-
diture upon the state highways not
less than the sum of $1,000, 600 each
fiscal year, exclusive Of all moneys
to accrue for such purposes from the
United States of America or from
ptler than taxes. license fees and
fees, now and hereafter levied and
collected by the state for such pur-
pose, the loan commissioners shall
issue, on or before the last Monday
in May of each year beginning with
1881 and thereafter sell, state high
way bonds in the amount of state
revenue estimated to accrue during
the next ensuing fiscal year, but not
to exceed the amount Of $2U0DWDa

suing fiscal year, provided the total
amount of bonds which may he is
sued is limited to. $40, 900 poa."
Another section of the proposed
measure sets out that in lien Uf the
four cent license tax aS now nrovit-

motor vehicle fuel shall pay, in ad-
!aiition to all other taxes provided 10y
law, a license tax of five ceatss fo1
each gallon of gasoline sold.

Cube Root Fatal
to Cattle Grubs
Entomologists Successful in
Its Use to Control
Grub Pest.
prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.l

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
Whoever would think of trying to
solve problem in entomology by ap-
plying cube root AS a matter of fact
that is exactly what federal entomol-
ogists did try-and with gratifying
success. The cube root. however, has
no relation to the mathematical proc
ess familiar to high school students.
Even the pronunciation is different,
and "cube" Is divided into two syl-
lables-coo-bay-and the root is the
root of a South American plant which
is now considered a highly promising
source of insect poisons. The pol
sonOus principle in the cube plant is
"rotenone," the same poison that Is
more familiar in derris powder.
Best Control Methods.
In trying to discover the best meth
DDS for controlling the grub that in
tests cattle and causes knobby punches
to form in their backs, federal ento-
mologists experimental with several
powders. They sprinkled these pow.
ders on the backs Of infested cattle
and observed the effect on the grubs.
Other poisons used included powdered
derris root, hydrated lime, nicotine
sulphate, and tobacco powder, all of
which were reasonably effective in rid
ding the cattle Of the grubs. The n.y.
drafted lime was too caustic for the
skin of the cattle. The derris and
cube root powders had no unfavorable
effect on the skin and hair of the an
imals, and these materials are not par
ticularly poisonous and hence are very
safe to use. Applications Of these pow
ders at 15-day intervals killed most of
the grubs. Two to four treatments
were required.
Control Heavy Losses.
The federal scientists have been
anxious to discover some method Of
controlling the heavy annual losses
from cattle grubs which will be less
tedious and disagreeable than the GUS
tomary method of squeezing the grubs
until they pop out of the back of the
infested animal. The busting methods
give a high degree of control and
would be particularly effective If the
whole community could be induced to
do the busting simultaneously for two
or three seasons.

Ration Essential for
DEVELOPING Good Pigs

Starting the young pigs early on a
good ration is one Of the essentials
for developing good health and vigor
and in developing resistance to dis
ease, according to John w. Schwab.
Purdue university. Mr.. Schwab points
out that young pigs make more rapid
and cheaper gains than do older hogs.
A home-mixed feed used success
fully consists of 80 pounds of cracked
corn, 20 pounds coarsely ground wheat
and 10 pounds Of tankage. A self
feeder for feeding is recommended
and pigs should be continued on this
ration until weighing about so to 60
pounds.
Wheat may be replaced with mid
dlings or hulled oats or screened
ground oats. Screening of the oats
is necessary as the little pigs cannot
handle the oat hulls. Skim milk may
be fed night and morning and replace
the tankage, If fed "A any quantity.
Soy beans have not been found suit
able for small pigs.
Good commercial feeds can be used
advantageously for supplementing
home grown feeds.

No Great Advantage in
Feeding Cracked Grain

From the standpoint of digestion,
there is no particular advantage in
feeding cracked corn to birds that can
consume whole corn. However, 1t Is
instructive for fowls to pick up the
larger particles Of grain ration first.
Therefore, in feeding grain mixture
of wheat and corn, for example. when
the corn grains are whole there is
tendency on the part of the fast eat
ers to pick out the corn and as
result do not always get sufficient
wheat grains to balance the diet. On
the other hand. the slow eaters are
forced to finish their meal on wheat
and also receive an unbalanced diet.
When corn grains are cracked there is
no tendency to make a meal on one
grain alone.

Piling Potatoes in
Warm Houses Costly
Sweating Occurs When the
Tubers Are Newly Dug.

Piling potatoes in huge heaps on the
floor Of warm barn, just after they
have been dug, is expensive business.
SO one grower near Columbus found
when an extension specialist from the
Ohio State university examined his
tubers. His potatoes had been dug,
hauled to the barn, and put into a
pile approximately IL feet long, feet
wide and feet deep. The pile con.
tanned several hundred bushels of po.
tatoes and heavy percentage Of
them were rotting.
Cuts and bruises on the potatoes,
suffered as they were harvested. were
in part responsible for the develop
ment of the rot. the specialist found.
And the action of the bacteria caus-
ing decomposition was being hurried
by moisture on the potatoes, which as
sisted the growth Of the bacteria and
also gave them opportunity to travel
from potato to potato.
Potatoes should be kept in crates
after they are dug, until they have
had time to cure" says e. B. Tussing,
vegetable specialist in the extension
service. 1.-THE process of Transportation
goes on in the tubers from one to
three weeks after they have been dug,
and during that period the potatoes
will sweat and water will collect
on their outer surfaces. They should
have time to dry and cure until this
period is over"

Digging Root Crops

Root crops which include such vege-
tables as beets, carrots, turnips, win
ter radishes, and things of that sort,
should be dug in the fall some time
after mid October, or just before the
weather freezes up. Nearly always
these vegetables keep better in the
ground than they do outside. How
ever, carrots sometimes tend to rot be-
fore digging time and in such cases it
is better to have them out of the
ground and placed in storage.

Formula to Follow in
Fattening Live Stock

Do you know how much feed is re-
quired to finish carload Of livestock?
The United Staes Department Of Agri-
culture estimates that an average will
be as follows:
Cattle: LOO bushels of corn. 10
tons of alfalfa and five tons of straw
will fatten 20 steers weighing $50
pounds, causing them to gain $50
pounds in $50 days.
Hogs: $50 bushels of corn, 1850
pounds of tankage will fatten 20 hogs
going from 100 to 200 pounds, to
make a carload.
Sheep: 600 bushels Of corn and II
tons of hay will fatten 250 lambs
weighing So pounds each to make
them weigh so pounds and a double
deck carload.

Hobo Insects Dispersed
by Empty Freight Cars

Insect pests have been caught steal
ing rides in empty freight cars by
workers in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. A careful study
of several cars which had been used
for shipping alfalfa hay revealed the
fact that Is per cent Of the alfalfa
weevils in the hay remain alive dur
ing a five-day trip and 40 per cent of
them stand the rigors of three-day
trip.
A check on the movement of freight
cars has shown that they often ap-
pear in widely separated parts of the
country in a remarkably short time.
1t Is believed that many insect pests
other than the alfalfa weevil are dis
persed over the country In this way.

Solarium for Miners

The deficiency of sunshine which is
experienced by miners is being
atoned for in the case of an Idaho
mining plant by subjecting these
workmen to a treatment of artificial
sunshine. The health-giving ultra
violet rays which are absent in the
lower regions are being supplied by
electrical means as the men leave the
mines. This is achieved through the
agency of a moving platform, which
will carry the men slowly through
narrow cabinet equipped with six
powerful mercury-quartz lamps-the
arrangement being such that the arti-
fetal sunlight will strike every part
Of the body. The solarium will be
available to the miners families.

FARM EACTSI]>;

The longer that good permanent
pasture can be maintained, the cheap
err will be the cost.
Hauling out the manure aids in
keeping the surroundings Of the dairy
barn clean and sanitary.
The Importance of sufficient kind
and quantity of protein in the swine
ration is acknowledged by all we'll in
formed swine feeders.
Superphosphate is equally well
adapted for use on the dropping
boards of the poultry house as in the
cutters of the dairy barn.
Roup or colds in poultry is generally
a result of overcrOwding. poor housing
or ventilation, or lack of vitality due
to poor feeding during the growing
season, or worms.
Endive that has been tied for sew

Bone Meal for Chicks

Bone meal as a part Of the mash fed
growing chicks or reasonably fine
ground bone fed in a hopper If no
mash is fed is a real aid. Chicks fed
bone in some form will make more
rapid growth than those whose ration
lacks this, but it is good in other re-
spects. Not only is this backed by
results at experiment stations, but
flock owners have found it real aid
in bringing the cockerels to broiler
age most quickly.

Horses Need Grain

Work horses and mules should be
well fed and properly cared for dur
ing the busy season. These animals
cannot do their best and keep in con-
dition for regular work unless they are
given the right kind of feed. Liberal
grain feeding and bright clean hay are
necessary. Feeding too little grain
and too much roughage means work
animals that are short winded and
lack endurance.

Velvet Berets,
Fur Trimming

There is nothing new about fur hats.
Head covering was made of fur ages
before any one devised the process Of
mating together bits of fur to make
felt. And down through the ages
tooues and bonnets and hats Of fur have
from time TO time come into vogue. But
there is something new about the way
nilliners are making use Of 1t this sea-
son, and the important thing to renaem-
Der is that when fur is used 1t is used as
much like fabric as possible.
Only galyak. me Persian lamb and
other very fine, thin furs are to be con.
sidered, because other furs would not
yield to the draping and manipulation
that is necessary to give hats the smart
silhouette.
FUR is frequently used for trimming.
Sometimes Q large piece Is used Tor
forming the crown drApery or the facing
of the hriu, and sometimes small btts
are used for trimming. Black felt hats
show triangular bits of white fur ar
ranged to resemble an irregular knot or

Care of the Furnishings

THE business of maintaining an at
tractive and well furnished home il
. two-sided proposition. IN the fi1st
place, new furniture must be selected
with taste and discrimination: and in
the second place, IL must be kent IN
first-rate condition.
As far as plain wood Is concerned,
this second requirement Is chiefly q
matter OF care-so that the furniture
viii not be scratched. burned or n1arred
and polishing. The other main divi-
sion OF home furnishings. upholstered
pieces, require little more attention.
One method Of protecting upholstery
fabrics that Is widely practiced is the
use Of slip covers. The covers, If they
are properly made to at the furniture,
are attractive and provide o welcome
room.
The old system, Of course, has been
TO place the covers over the regular up.
holstery fabric. Now furniture manu-
facturers have introduced Q new wrin-
kle. Some furniture 10 being made on

Keeping upholstered furniture in good
shape is largely q question of keeping
1t perfectly clean. A few dos" and
'don'ts" may clear up questionable
points.
What to do:
l. Use vacuum cleaner on upholstery
fabrics at least once q week.
2. Give the fabric good brushing at.
least twice q month. Be sure not to
overlook seams and pockets, especially
those which have been in dark corners
or against wall.
