Rare Orchid

A rare orchid, the albino variety
of lycaste skinneri also known as
"monja blanca" Spanish for
white num-, was put in bloom in
the conservatory of the depart
ment of botany of Northwestern
university for the first time since
being brought to the United States
nine months ago by DR.. Margery
c. Carlson. The national flower of
Guatemala. the albino orchid is
called the white nun because the
center of the waxen bloom resem-
bles religieuse in the attitude Of
prayer. DR.. Carlson acquired the
orchid from an Indian in San Sal
vador quite by accident. The In
dian had it wrapped in cloth, and
in passing the botanist recognized
the wide leaves as typical of GER
tain class of orchids. DR.. Carlson
induced him to let her have the
plant, and she then packed it in
paper in a straw basket along with
sther rare botanical specimens.

New Chemical Products

Many branches of the chemical
and chemical process industries in
the United States are comparatively
new. A number of these products of
major chemical companies were in
troduced as articles of commerce
within the last twenty years. Re-
Gently, one of the largest manutfac-
turers of chemicals in the United
States stated that almost half of the
company's gross sales for the year
1912, "46 per cent to be exact
consisted of products which either
did not exist in 1928 or were not then
manufa ctured in large commercial
quantities" Similarly, according to
Chemical Engineering, analysis of
another of the larger chemical COM
panies indicates that for three of
the four major divisions of its activ-
ity almost every product marketed
is the result of research and large
majority have been developed and
commercialized since World War /.
Plastics make up one of the most
important groups of new products.

Cite Advantages In Use
OF Glass Cooking Utensils

The first cooking utensils made of
glass were designed for oven use
only, but within the last few years
glass utensils able to withstand
greater heat-shock than needed for
ovenware have been made for sur
face cooking. Care should be
taken, however, not to expose
glass utensils to sudden changes of
temperature, such as adding cold
liquids to foods while they are cook
ing, or placing hot dishes directly
on a cold surface.
There are several advantages af-
forded by glass utensils. They are
easy to keep clean; glass conducts
heat evenly, producing uniform
browning; foods can be served in
the same dish in which they were
cooked, thereby saving in diShwash-
ing time.
All top-of-the-stove ware cooking
utensils should have a grid placed
under them when used on the new
fast-heating electric stoves, those
made since 1910, home specialists
advise. Ovenware should not be
used over direct heat, or in place of
top-of-the-stove ware. Grids may be
obtained from the manufacturer of
the glassware (watch for the post
card attached to the label of the
product.

oils may reduce the number of
cases of scours or pneumonia.
Winter calves and pigs may
need more vitamin d for calves,
and the vitamin usually can be
supplied to growing pigs by in
cluding 4 or per cent of sun
cured alfalfa meal in their total
ration. Since the vitamin d con-
tent of alfalfa meal varies con-
siderably, use of special vitamin
d supplements sometimes may be
advisable in Ohio winter swine
Experimental work in livestock
feeding indicates there is some
relationship between niacin de
ficiency and swine enteritis; but
Ohio test of using niacin as a
treatment for swine enteritiS in
dicated it is no cure for the dis
ease. Doctor Burroughs thinks
the niacin requirement of SWINE
may be highest when their ration
is low in protein.
Ohio livestock rations usually
contain most minerals required
except salt. Iodized salt is re-
commended as it supplies some
iodine. Ground bonemeal and
ground limestone may be com
bined with the feed to provide
additional phosphorus and cal
cium.

British Enlarge African
Experiment in Government

Establishment Of a Sukumaland
Federation that includes so chief
doms of Tanganyika's Wasukuma
tribes enlarges an African expert

These tribes occupy an area as

ELECTRIC FENCE

Electric fences have pleased a
large percentage of the Ohio far
mers who have used them, and
these fences are especially con-
venient for temporary use in
hogging down corn or for divid-
ing pastures; but 1. P. Blauser,
specialist in agricultural engineer
ing warns farmers not to make
the fences unsafe by using a
makeshift device to control the
electrical current.
Either barbed or smooth wire
may be used for the fence and
the wire can be mounted on either
steel or wooden post but must
insulated from the post. If the
livestock to be turned by the
fence are of about the same
height, only one wire is needed;
but two wires will be required
if hogs and cattle run together
Mr.. Blauser says each wire
should be placed so it would
come in contact with the body
of the animal it is expected to
control. Electric fences have
not been as satisfactory for con-
filming sheep as with other types
of livestock. Dry weather or con-
tact with weeds with the charged
wire may make the fence less eff
fective.
The energizing or control unit
governing the fence is very in
portant. Commercial units may
cost from SIS to S45, but the
University engineer recommends
their purchase and use. Consider
able numbers of livestock have
been killed by fences in which
the current was supposed to be
controlled by homemade device
which failed in its purpose.
One control unit will safe
guard all the electric fences ord
inarily used on one farm. live
stock can be trained to respect
the fence by installing one in the
barnyard or a feedlot for a short
time before the stock is turned
against the fence in the field. The
cost of current for operating. the
fence is low, running from Is to
Is cents a month.

Need Food Supplement

A supplement of foods rich in vita
min c is needed by many persons
who eat away from home most of
the time, according to nutrition con-
sultants. Scientific study has shown
that those who eat most of their
meals in restaurants, hotels, dormi-
tories, army messes and other
places where cooking is done in
large quantities cannot always rely
on the vegetables on their plates
for vitamin c. Persons who eat out
a great deal, can provide the vita
min c by using larger servings of
tomatoes and citrus fruits when they
are available, or by using these
foods as snacks during the day. To
provide these vitamins iii abun-
dance, vegetables must be used
fresh or cooked with as little ex-
posure to air, water and heat as
possible.
