SPACE SAVERS IN “THE LATEST

Many Things Manufactured to Serve , a Double Purpose for Travelers. The equipments for the comfort of automobiiists suggest that in the very near future one may live in one’s limousine. The lunch boxes were recently described, the accident case came in for recognition and although thus far no portable bed that can be tucked out of sight has been fitted up for touring cars, the new limousine cases of toilet articles are on the market. They contain every possible thing one could want for one’s toilet, in a leather case that butons with glove-fastener-like buttons and finally folds until it might easily be mistaken for a small brief ease stich as lawyers use. Among the novelties that are space savers three just out are worthy of notice. The- pair of razor-back brushes that fit into a hook and form the wings of a coat hanger when not in use are especially servicable tor the traveler. Then a Yankee has brought out a case that contains two flat hair brushes and twelve other articles —all any man could possibly require when traveling, so fitted that they are all concealed in a case that is one inch high by nine inches long and seven Inches wide—l 4 inches in this one case.

The rubber straw hat cover is another ingenious thought. It is of very soft, light yellow rubber that fits easily over the many variations of the regulation straw hat, and yet when not in use it could be tucked Into one’s vest pocket and not crowd out a toothpick.

HOLDER FOR COINS.

Press Spreading Device and Tube Opens For Withdrawal.

A novel .coin holder has been designed by a Texas man. A metal cylinder, open its entire length, has rims at the top and bottom to prevent the passage of coins in either direction under normal conditions. The cylinder, of course, is made of Just the same circumference Inside as that of the denomination of coin it is Intended to hold. The opposite edges of the open side of the cylinder are •beaded and a folded resilient sheet has end& which fit over them. This

Coins Cannot Drop Out.

device is used to spread the cylinder bo that the coins can be removed, otherwise they are held firmly and cannot drop out. To remove a aickle, for instance, the spreader is presses in toward the tube, thus forcing apart the open sides of the latter and releasing its grip on the contents. Such a contrivance is usefol for street car conductors and others who want to keep various denomination of coins separate.

Sprayer in Place of Brush.

The use of stenciling in the decoration of houses has been limited to a considerable degree to designs of a coarser nature because where an effort was made to utilize complex designs, the paper of which the stencils are made will be found unable to withstand the wear and tear to which they are subjected. The field of usefulness of this art has been recently extended by the use of the paint sprayer which has been found to be superior to the brush for this character of work. The modern paint ipray is capable of adjustment so Ine that paint may be thrown in a Ine from the smallest stripe to a sroad spray for coating surfaces, rhe possibilities of producing novel sffects are unlimited because stencils not practical to brush are easily iprayed without injury to the most Helicate stencil or mask, such, for Instance, as lace stemming and the ase of leaves for stencil or* maskproducing effects.

A Simple Trick.

The man who cut one hole in his loor for the cat and another for the kitten would find it dlfficut to pass a nickel through a hole the size of a

lime cut in a stout piece of paper. This diagram shows how easily it san be done. Fold the paper across the centre of the hole, place the nickel in the fcU and bend the lover sorners of the paper upward. This elongates the opening and the coin ’alls through.

The hands of the professional bonr ire hardened by the application of a lolutlon of salt water and turpantlM.

NOT ALWAYS HOG CHOLERA

Do Not Blame Serum If It Fails to Prevent Other Diseases. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Ninety per cent, of the losses from disease arifong hogs are due to cholera, hut other diseases are often mistaken for it This sometimes leads owners to blame serum because they have, used it without benefit. Garbage poisoning is one trouble sometimes mistaken for'cholera. It results from feeding hotel and restaurant table refuse containing large quantities of soap. The soap causes Severe inflammation and it or other irritating substances produce symptoms much like those of cholera. Worms cause troubles mistaken for cholera by multiplying in the lungs, causing irritation, stopping the ail passages and giving rise to a cough and pneumonia. The animal becomes unthrifty and loses flesh but does not die quickly or show the other characteristic symptoms of true cholera. Worms in the intestines cause diarrhoea, dullness, and lack of thrift but their presence can usually be detected in the droppings. Cholera is not present if the animal does not show the other symptoms,- including fever, redness of the skin, and sudden deith. - When worms are present the appetite remains good. Loss of appetite is usually an early symptom of cholera. , Tuberculosis rarely runs a rapid course in hogs and should not be mistaken for cholera. It occurs most frequently among hogs fed on slaughter house refuse, creamery or other skim milk containing tubercle bacilli, or those following cattle. If in doubt as to the presence of cholera have a competent veterinarian examine one dr more of the dead hogs, but do not expect serum to protect against any of these other diseases. Hogs entirely immune to cholera may die from one of these other troubles.—rH. P. Hoskins, Assistant Veterinarian, University Farm, St. Paul.

SEED CAREFULLY SELECTED. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Modern Miller says: “Reports from all parts of the, winter wheat belt agree that more than usual care was taken in the selection of seed for the sowing of wheat this season and the excellent soil conditions reported when the seeding began are fully maintained. The acreage is large and the plant has a good stand, is well > rooted and has a vigorous growth and healthy appearance. There are no indications of .the development of insects and no complaints of any kind of damage are made.” p

COUNTING THE COST

Is It Worth While to Follow the Example of Large Corporations in Studying Efficiency? By L. E. Goodyear. [National Crop Improvement Service.]' * The correct computation of the cost of production is at the bottom of farm profits. It takes only a little time to enter costs when they occur, and finally to compute them. When this is done, the farm manager knows the cost of what he sells. Almost all farmers and business men do more or less unprofitable work because they are not sure of their costs. When they know they quit the unprofitable work, and do profitable work. An accountant some time ago announced that he could show the railroads of the country where they were wasting $1,000,000 a day. Instead of telling this accountant to mind his own business (the old-fashioned way for disposal of ideas), the iailroads asked for and -got his ideas, and are already making more money. Unquestionably the farmers of the country could gather milliops of added profits if their attention were focalized on the matter of computing exact production cost. SIC worth of time and a few cents worth of cost sheets will show farmers opportunities worth all the way from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

THE LAND SHYSTER.

[National Crop Improvement Service.] Farm, Stock and Home, says: “The way to ‘get’ the shyster is to put the real estate business under the supervision of the state, and require of the’dealer a bond for the performance of his contract. The time has gone by when the legitimate business can longer afford to tolerate the land pirate.” Another, and we think the best way, is to list and advertise all realestate with the Farm Bureau and handle only such lands as have the price guaranteed for one year.-- The Real Estate Committee has another great duty to perform and that is to see that the settler is not strapped before he gets a crop.

CORN MAY BE BAD

Com Testers Requested to Send Results to Crop Improvement Committee, Chicago.

[National Crop Improvement Service.) Early tests of corn indicate that it will be fully as necessary in 1913 to test seCd corn as it was in 1911, and we would like to have a report from all of the Couqty Agents who have made seed tests so far this season. The situation in Nebraska and Oklahoma, while pretty bad, is lightened by the fact that northern Nebraska and southern Oklahoma escaped the drouth, and still have seed com, but it is necessary for the local committees in other counties to get aftet it immediately before it is fed ot shipped. The disturbing feature in Western Kansas and Oklahoma has been the lack of enough seed wheat, but the quality of all -wheats is usuaity good this year and the acreage is reported to be greatly increased.
