Hawking, Horseback Sport,
Popular With Hunsarians

Hawking is done mostly on horse
back, and much the same sort of
terrain is required as for following
hounds. The plains of Hungary,
where the country is just rough
enough to be exciting and where
birds are numerous, is favorable for
hunting, and that doubtless is one
of the reasons that falconry has nev-
er died out there, observes writer
in the New York Times.
Training the birds, either those
born in captivity or captured hawks
(these are the ''haggards'), is an
important and difficult part of prep
aration for hunting. The hawks are
taught at first to follow lure a
very short distance, and the lure
comes to mean food to them. Later
on the live prey takes the place of
the lure. Hawks are taken out hood
ed and leashed on the wrist of the
mounted huntsman, and cast off
when the game is sighted. Then the
trained bird mounts until it is a
speck in the sky. Then she stoops
that is, launches herself like a.
plummet from high above to strike
the prey. The hunter follows the
pursuit to be in at the death and re-
capture the hawk.

DUST STORM Sits OUT RICH
SOIL. LEAVING SAND BEHIND

A dust storm is like giant sieve,
according to the soil Conservation
Service. 1t sits out the lighter, rich
er soil particles and often carries
them for hundreds of miles, leaving
the coarser, less fertile grains to skip
and roll along the ground surface
or pile up as dunes.
Last spring soil-conservation men
collected soil material laid down in
Iowa by a dust storm that originated
in the Texas and Oklahoma Pan
handles. They also gathered samples
from sand dune formed by the
same storm near its origin. Com
parison of the two soils reveals in
striking fashion the sitting action
of wind erosion.
The dust sample from Iowa-500
miles from the source of the storm
contained 10 times as much or
ganic matter as the dune sand left
behind and was far richer in plant
food. Furthermore, this windborne
material was finer in texture and
more fertile than a third soil sample
taken from virgin panhandle grass
land.
Wind erosion, says H. H. Ben
nett, Chief of the Soil Conserva-
ton Service, lis skimming the very
cream of our Great Plains soil. In
it's wake it is leaving choking sterile
sand that so often kills crops and
gathers in dunes"

DAIRY COWS ON ROUGHAGE
ALONE PRODUCE A
PROFIT

Dairy cows in good condition may
produce profitably ON roughage alone
when grains are scarce and expen-
sive without ill effects upon the
herd, reports the Bureau of Dairy
Industry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Sixteen registered Jerseys at the
Lewisburg, Tenn, station, allowed
only legume hay and pasture, in a
year produced more than so per cent
as much milk and butterfat as when
on roughage with full-grain ration.
In similar tests over longer
period, Holsteins also produced above
so percent as much milk and butter
fat when on a roughage ration as
when on a full grain ration. AL
though averaging from 200 to 500
pounds less in weight, the Jerseys
consumed an average of IL pounds
more roughage each month for each
100 pounds of weight.
Both breeds received only best
quality hay. ALI cows were accustom-
ed to a roughage-alone ration before
the feeding tests were started.

The Gulf Stream

The Gulf stream is strong cur
rent which runs up the coast of
North America from the Straits of
Florida as far north as Newfound-
land. Naturally, it has above the
average heat, and raises the tenn
perature of the water it passes
through. It's influence crosses the
North Atlantic and reaches our
land. It has thus a great effect on
the seas round our shores, and so
on our climate, says London An
swers Magazine. Without it, our
winters would be much more Sc
we're, as Great Britain is really
situated as far north as some of
the really icy parts of Asia and
North America. The Gulf stream
has, at the start of its journey, a
temperature of about rs degrees,
and travels at an average rate Of
u miles a day.

GOOD ROADS IN COUNTRY MAKE
BAD WATER IN CITIES

Increased use of tar roads
throughout the country is causing
the water supplies of hundreds Of
cities to take on Objectionable tastes
and odorss reports the American
Institute of Sanitation. Road tar
contains small amounts of phenolic
chemicals which are leached out by
the rain and carried along to the
lakes, rivers, and reservoirs from
which cities obtain their water
supplies.
The chemicals washed cut from
tarred roads by the rain are usually
present in very small amounts and
ordinarily are unnoticeable to the
tastes. But when the water is chlorin-
ated the phenolic substances are turn
ed into pungent compounds having a
pronounced medicinal taste. Just
a few drops of the phenolic teachings
from tarred roads will render mil
lion gallons of water undrinkable
after chlorination. Since a majority
of cities chorinate their water to
remove harmful bacteria, and since
thousands of miles of road in this
country are being tarred each year,
continues the institute, the problem
of medicine tastes developing in
water supplies is very common.
COLONIZATION also emphasizes the
various other disfiavors in water.
caused by algae, industrial wastes,
etc.
Fortunately it is now possible to
remove the Objectionable tastes and
odors in public water supplies that
arise from tarred roads and other
causes, says the institute. Scientists
have perfected a remarkable purifi-
er, activated carbon. which takes out
such disfavors in water. Its action
is not chemical, but mechanical like
a magnet, attracting and holding
the undesirable tastes and odors. It
does not dissolve in the water and
adds nothing to it. More than 1000
cities in the United States are now
using activated carbon to keep their
water sparkling, sweet and palatable
and the use of the substance is ex-
tending to Europe. The cost Of safe
guarding the palability OF city's
water supply is very small, amount
ing to only about &c per capita per
year.

CHANGES IN PENNSYLVANIA
MOTOR LAW

Changes in the law affecting opera
ton of motor vehicles in Pennsyl-
vania are called to the attention Of
motorists by the Keystone Automo-
bile Club of Maryland.
One clarifies the meaning of the
yellow traffic light, another tightens
restrictions on parking or stopping
on the highway, and a third pro-
hibits U turns on two-way streets,
in both business and residence dis
tricts. unless official signs are erect
ed permitting the turns.
Under the amendments now in eff
feet, the yellow traffic signal, when
shown alone, means that traffic fac
ing the signal shall stop before en-
tering the nearest crosswalk at the
intersection, but if such stop can
not be made in safety vehicles may
be driven cautiously through the in
tersection.
''The law now takes cognizance
of condition which heretofore has
been accorded only slight recongni-
tion," said Garrison P. Knox, Man
ager of the Club. "Under the form
er regulations, motorists were re-
quired to stop on the amber light,
unless they were within the inter-
section at the time the light chang
ed. In consequence of the effect to
bring cars to sudden halt on the
appearance of the yellow light, many
drivers became involved in accidents
due to skidding on wet or icy streets
or being struck from the rear by
vehicles unable to stop in time.
'Leeway now is given for ex-
ercise of good driving judgment.
If a stop cannot be made without
endangering life and property, the
motorist may proceed on the yellow.
If, however, the yellow appears when
the car is within safe stopping dis
lance, the vehicle must not cross
the intersection. The regulation is
intended to insure safety-not to
provide a new excuse for beating
the traffic lights"
Heretofore, the Club statement
points out, motorists were forbid
den to park or stop on the highway
unless a clear view of the vehicle
could be obtaintd from a distance
of 200 feet, in both directions. The
law now forbids such stopping UNI
less the view can be obtained from
a distance of 800 feet.

IDLE LAND MAY YIELD A PRO-
FIT In TIMBER

One of many examples of idle land
which has been made to yield good
returns by planting it to trees-and
letting the trees grow into moneys
in the files of the United States For
est Service,
A New England farmer owned a
8 acre sidehill pasture that was
practically worthless. He set out
1,400 Seeding white pines on the
hillside. Twenty years later the
farmer died, and among his assets
was this small tract of yonug pine.
Much to the her surprise, his widow
was offered $500 for the tract and
sold it. About Is years later lum-
Der company paid $1,000 for it.

FARM
TOPICS
VENTILATED MOWS
KEEP HAY BETTER
False Floors, Open Sides,
Found Good Practice.

Supplied by the United States Department
of Agriculture.-WNU Service.
Better ventilation of hay stored in
mows offers two practical advan-
tages to farmers, tests by the bu-
reau of chemistry and soils indi-
cate. Well ventilated hay keeps its
quality better. 1t does not get so
hot and there is less danger of fire
from spontaneous heating. Mows
with false floors to allow air to cir
culate under the piled hay, and
mows with one or two open sides
formed by studding are two devices
for improving ventilation of stored
alfalfa hay. Both worked well in
practical tests. Good ventilation is
particularly desirable if hay is not
well cured and has to be put in the
NOV with more moisture than is
desirable.
The bureau of chemistry and soils
found that hay within about six feet
of an open face retained it's quality
better than hay farther in. Dividing
large mows into small cornpart-
ments by means of alleyways
formed by studding, is suggested.
Each compartment should not be
over approximately IL feet wide,
with at least two exposed sides par
allel to each other, thus bringing
all the hay within a distance of six
feet of an open face where moisture
and heat NAV escape.
For under ventilation" "false
floor' of two-by-eight timbers on
edge with two-by-four scantlings
laid across them was tested. In
piles up to is feet high, the hay
kept better and did not get so hot
as similar hay piled fiat on the NOW
floor.
These ventilation experiments are
part of the investigation of the spon-
taneous heating of hay which the
bureau of chemistry and soils has
had under way for several years.
The tests were all with alfalfa hay,
most of them with hay moister than
farmers prefer to put in the NOW.
When hay was stored with less than
80 per cent of moisture it kept well.
Hay of a distinct brown color re-
suited when the moisture content of
the hay as stored exceeded approx
imately 80 per cent. Ventilated
storage had a good effect on hay
quality since it reduced the guam
tity of brown and moldy hay pro-
duced.

Plumage of Hen Reveals
Egg-Producing Capacity

There was a time when farmers
sold their ragged and faded birds
because of their unsightly appear
ance and kept the slick-coated, yell
low-legged individuals because of
their attractiveness. That time is
past and the practice is now re-
versed, asserts poultryman in the
Boston Globe.
The persistence of production is
measured very largely by the con-
dition of the plumage during the
summer and fall. If the hen lays
regularly she usually retains her
old feathers, but if for any reason
other than sickness or broodiness
she stops laying, the feathers begin
to drop. This brings on the condi-
ton we know as melting.
The order in which the feathers
fall is first from the neck, then the
back, body, wings and tail. The
neck mott is rather common at any
season of the year, even in good lay
ers, but if the mott progresses to
the back, the primary feathers of
the wing generally mott also. The
stage is seldom reached unless the
hens have entirely ceased laying.
Cessation of laying is likely to bring
on a general mott.

Coloring Of Early Maps
Was Recognized as Art

The word map is derived from
mappa-a napkin. So called be-
cause the first maps are said to have
been made by the monks on a cloth
or napkin. The history of maps
leads far back into the vanished
centuries. They represent mans
idea Of the world in the age of dis
covery. AS late as the time OF
Christopher Columbus many be-
ieved the world was fiat, circular
disk and that ships would drop off
into the regions below when they
reached the edge. But as early as
the middle of the Sixth century,
notes writer in the Los Angeles
Times, a monk by the name of Cos
mos attempted to prove the world
was a sphere. Gradually, as the
early mariners extended their ex-
plorations to other lands and ma
tons, new conceptions of the earth
came to be believed. This is re-
fected in the maps produced at that
time by the early photographers and
forms a most interesting phase of
the study of maps.
In the early engraved maps color
ing by hand was regular profess
sional art. It is said of the famous
Ortelius of the Sixteenth century
that he began his life work by col
lecting and coloring maps for sale in
Antwerp where he was born. Asso-
ciafed with cn1orinp and DESIGN old
maps are distinguished by very
charming title-panels or cartouches,
these being drawn with details to
illustrate the natural features of spe-
cial products, or industries which
characterize the area represented
on the map. It may be noted that
the decoration of the sea surface
with ships and sea monsters and the
land surface with more or less prob
lematical animals disappeared dur
ing the Seventeenth century.

No Tails-No Walls

Sheepmen in the Uva1de section of
Texas are using rubber bands in
stead Of surgery to bob lambs tails,
according to information received
by the B. F. Goodrich company.
The newest method of tail bobbing
involves only the tight application
OF a rubber band in the right loca-
ton which stops circulation. After
time the tail drops off, saving ex-
pense, time, and trouble for ranch
men and some pain and possible
infection for the lambs.

.oIONIAI, bIildings intimately

~OIONIAI, buildings intimately
associated with the Valley Forge
1phase of the historic struggle
for American freedom are to be used
as student and faculty quarters at
the new college which the University
of Pennsylvania plans to eStaolsh
at Valley Forge in connection with
its 20Oth anniversary in 1910.
These include the venerable, white
walled farmhouses occupied by
General Lafayette and General Du-
Portal chief of Washington's engi-
neering staff, during the encamp-
ment of the Continental Army on
the site through the bitter winter OF
1776-77. The ancient structures, still
in good condition, are located on
property either already acquired by
the University or scheduled to be
ACQUIRED once start is made on the
Valley Forge project.
Creation of the college at this ma
tional historical shrine-now the 10
cation of Pennsylvania State Park
is a goal of the University in an
ticipation of the Bicentennial year,
university DlCCllGClllld1 OOAAAAAAANSSS
has pointed out.
Designed as an institution OF ma
ton wide patriotic appeal, the new
college would commemorate in
sense, it is said, the sacrifices of $50
early Pennsylvania graduates who
served as officers in Washington's
army at Valley Forge and would
have as it's primary studies courses
in American history and Govern
ment and English.
The campus-to be supplementary
to the Universitys main campus
would be almost under the shadow
of the huge Valley Forge equestrian
statue of General Wayne, Revolu-
tionary War here and a member of
the class of 1765.
AS a step in bringing the project
to realization, the committee has
pointed out, the Valley Forge plan
has been included in a $12,500,000
Embarrassing endeavor to be launched
October 10 as part of the Bicenten-
NAL program. The sum Of 100000
