FLORIDA 7 R Up
ROMANCE IN
TRAINS

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 16.
Florida this week stepped to
the front, and is capitalizing
on four distinct features which
promise to start the South
lands earliest winter season.
The early cold weather of the
North which has enlivened
reservations, the arrival of
post-election crowds and the
pre-holiday recreational pro-
grams have cast business rays
of sunshine on pleasure COM
munities which claim climate
and sunshine as their winter
assets.
Modern trains are contributing
comforts and amenities which
promise to make the journey a
vacation event Of travel romance
in itself.
Maintaining that the route and
trains are both a prologue and
an epilogue to a delightful vaca-
ton and will this season be no
small factor in filling Florida'S
ambitious tourist quota, Edward
Plack, assistant general passenger
agent Of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, in Washington, cites
the advance seasons schedules Of
the two "Orange Blossom Spe-
Gals"
One Of these is direct to West
Palm Beach and Miami through
the scenic highlands; the other,
via Jacksonville to Tampa, st.
Petersburg and other West Coast
resorts.
Arriving at Wildwood which In
troduces northern Florida's luxu-
RANT forest hammocks and moss
draped trees of the tropic South,
the East Coast "Orange Blossom
Special" speeds through central
Florida to West Palm Beach and
Miami, arriving at $50 p. m.
The West Coast Blossom"
which serves Jacksonville for the
first time, proceeds to Tampa
and st. Petersburg, reaching
there at 5:45 p. m. In addition to
modern sleeping cars this train
will carry new reclining seat
coaches, and will also serve Sara
sofa and Venice.

SHENANDOAH
GOOD ROUTE
Bv WILLIAM GARRARD

NEW MARKET, Va, Dec.
17.-Motorists who "know their
stuff" are going to Florida this
winter over Highway u, S. IL
through the Shenandoah Val
ley, a route on which they'll
enjoy some of the most mag
nificent scenery in America,
such as the world-famous Nat
ural Bridge, and E n d lie S s
Caverns.
The highway from Washington
to Florida by way Of U. S. IL
and it's connecting links are in
perfect condition, with U. S. IL
a. newly-finished, three-lane, 80
foot right-of-way through most OF
the Shenandoah Valley. The dis
tance to Florida is not much
longer than by q. S. No. or U.
S. No. / and connections. And
this greater distance is more than
offset by the wonderland it opens
up.
The Shortest Route
From Washington one reaches
u. S. II in the Shenandoah Val
ley either by U. S. so to Win
chester or by U. S. 211 to New
Market. Then one follows U. S.
II south to Roanoke.
From Roanoke the shortest way
is to leave U. S. II and drive
either to Winston-Salem, N. c., or
Greensboro, N. c., and from either
of these points to Walterboro, S.
c., where you will be on U. S. II
(the Coastal Highway, and then
continue on U. S. II into Florida.
If you are not seeking the
shortest route, you can go from
Roanoke to Charlotte, N. c., and
then to Columbia, S. c., and then
into Florida by Augusta, Ca, over
u. S. No. /. Another, which will
carry you through the great Valley
of Virginia all the way to Bristol,
Va.-Tenn., is to follow U. S. II from
Roanoke to Bristol, and turn off
to Asheville, N. c., then to Atlanta,
Ca, and from Atlanta over U. S.
Al into Florida.
If, while motoring through the
Shenandoah Valley, the weather
should be cold, stop and relax for
an hour or so deep underground
in Endless Caverns, in the midst
of Florida warmth, and the elec-
trio equivalent of Florida sunshine.

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home
Problems Confronting Farmers and
HOmemakers Answered BY
University Farm

Is there any remedy for cows
that are hard to milk?
Yes, hard milking can be over
come, but it requires a surgical OPP
Grafton which can be properly per-
formed only by a competent veter-
marian. The sphincter muscle or
the obstruction in the teats must
be slit with the proper instrument
under aseptic conditions. Milking
tubes inserted into the teats may be
used, but the greatest cleanliness
and care is necessary to avoid
carrying dangerous infection into
the udder.-C. P. Fitch, Division Of
Veterinary Medicine.
Is it safe to let canned food stand
in the can after opening?
1t is perfectly safe to leave
canned food or any food standing
in an open can if you keep it cold
and covered. Food will not spoil
faster in a can than in a dish or
other container. Manufacturers
often print warnings on cans not
to leave food standing in them.
The manufacturers know there is
no danger from leaving the food in
the can, but they don't want to be
blamed for food that spoils through
carelessness on the part of the
housewife.-Inex Hobart, Extension
Nutritionist.

No Lack Of Words

How often do find difficulty in thinking of
just the right word to express certain idea? Even
the greatest writers often stop to weigh their words
in order to hit upon the most appropriate one, while
few speakers observe all the nicees of express
sion without writing out their speeches and memoir
izng them beforehand
These difficulties not due to any lack of
words in the English language, however Possibly it
may be result of our having too many to choose
from. The latest unabridged dictionaries contain
than 100000 words, and the list is increasing
constantly.
Noah Websters first dictionary published in
1928 contained only about 10000 words the edition Of
1864 included 114000; that of 1890 about 1750OO
compared with the 100000 recognized words of today
A leading photographer estimates that the edu-
Gated person of fair ability understands aver
age about $4,000 words, but uses only small part
of that number in either speaking or writing The
of the people know and use less than 5000
words out of the 100000 available
An interesting experiment is to inspect few
pages of an unabridged dictionary and count how
many words out of hundred you are really fam
iliar with, both to spelling and meaning Try it,

Bolster Up The Markets

Reductions in agricultural tariffs through trade
treaties and large additional acreages of land in arid
territories where large dams have been built make
it and more apparent that legislation for farm
relief is of vital Importance, and that legislation be
planned that the farmer will he able to help him
self of his difficulties.
Imports of farm produce in 1885 increased con-
sderaby those of 1884, and the question of
competition with foreign growers producers has
become a serious menace to the American market,
which rghtfully and solely belongs to the American
farmer.
Two major plans, the Frazer-Lenke bill and the
Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, are
now under consideration, the former receiving con-
siderable support from farmers in this community,
the latter being of little value to darymen accord
ing to Senators and Congressman from the North
west If the farmers produce is to be trading stock
for industrial then it is highly urgent that
these similar bills be passed and put into opera
ton Immediately. And yet without proper markets,
successful farm operations be carried on under
legislative passed for immediate relief only? 1t
seems to that it is high time to give the same
consideration the agricultural market that CIV
to industry and thereby build for the future so
that relief measures will no longer be necessary.

COMPARES NEW AND OLD
HOG CHOLERA VACCINES

That the new so-called crystal
violet vaccine" for hog cholera, re-
Gently announced by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, will not
entirely replace the standard anti
hog cholera serum used during the
last 25 years, is the opinion of DR..
H. c. H. Kernkamp, swine disease
authority of the Veterinary Divi-
sion at University Farm, st. Paul.
DR.. Kernkamp says the new
treatment will not be effective I'M
less used rather far in advance of
exposure to cholera. Therefore 1t
will have little or no value if used
when disease is actually present in
the herd.
The new vaccine was dicovered
by the late DR.. Marion Dorset, the
same man who found the first hog
cholera anti-serum that has been
used so successfully during the last
quarter century.
The new vaccine is prepared by
mixing defibrinated virus blood
with crystal violet and allowing the
mixture to stand at definite tenn
peratures for definite periods of
time. It is said that approximately
80 per cent of susceptible pigs in
jected with this vaccine will be-
come immune to cholera providing
sufficient time elapses before they
are exposed to the disease. It
should be remembered says DR..
Kernkamp. that when the hog
cholera serum and virus now in
common use are employed under
favorable conditions, they will give
an immunity equal to that claimed
for the new product.

How We Brood Poults"
We thoroughly scrub the brood

Il pound of I've to 80 gallons OF
water) walls and ceilings are
painted with a disinfectant and
the house Is allowed to dry and
air, then the stove Is installed
Twenty-four hours before poults
are to be placed in the brooder
house the brooder stove Is started
and temperature of IS degrees is
maintained around the hover. Peat
moss is scattered evenly over the
floor or sand may be used. In case
the latter Is used we place burlap
sacks over the sand for the first
two or three days. On top of the
sacks we place our reel top feed
ers filled with turkey starter mash
Fruit pans with enamel screw
top waterers make the watering
places. We used to give our poults
milk from the start but we have
found out they will fill up on the
-
the starting mash to grow fast
enough so we see to it now that
they fill up on mash first. They
will not satisfy their appetites on
just water. When poults have been
out of the she'll "a hours they are
removed to the waiting brooder
house. Each poult's bill is dipped
into the water and place sacks by
feeders. A few sprinkles of rolled
oats may be scattered over feed
ers to attract attention and they
go to eating at once. Feeders and
waterers are kept clean and filled
from then on. AS the poults grow
and scratch litter into water pans
they may be put up on pound cof-
fee cans. Sacks are removed and
feeders placed on IL inch boards
and in few days the boards are
raised up on bricks. All changes
are made gradually. Each evening
we hang two lanterns, one on each
side of the brooder stoves from
the ceiling to within inches of
floor and keep burning until day.
light. Only a small flame is need
ed and poults will not pile up.
We are going to try a screen
porch with wire floor on south
side for the first time this year
and I am very anxious to see how
the poults will like it. When poults
are about two weeks old we put
low perches slanting at back of
house. AS poults grow we raise the
perches gradually until they are
about 30 inches high. Room tenn
perature is gradually lowered. The
poults are kept in brooder house
(and in screen porth) until 8 to IL
weeks of age depending upon the
weather conditions when they are
removed to a new spot of ground
"a screen house, on alfalfa. Lam
terms are burned every night in
brooder house and in screen house
until they get acquainted to the
range, say a week or so. Feeders
and waterers are moved along
with poults so they feel at home.
More equipment is added as they
grow. Experience is good teach
er" and am glad to say the above
method has proven successful to
us. We raise the bronze and we
specialize in growing fancy table
