THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUNTY AGENT LEAMINGHog Diseases Spreading. Various hog diseases which have been appearing at times during the past few months seem to be spreading and it is desirable that every hog grower should be on the watch for the appearance of any trouble in hjs herd. It is probable that most of the cases are outbreaks of swine plague and septicemia, or ‘‘hog influenza,” although other swine diseases may be present. While these diseases are not as fatal as hog cholera, they invariably cause heavy losses, either from the death of hogs or the serious stunting of their groiwth. At the first indication of disease in a herd the animals should be placed under the eare of a veterinarian and his directions should be followed to the letter. It is also desirable that local publicity be given the matter so that neighbors may guard their animals against infection or market hogs that are finished. The loss of a hog cpp is a serious blow to the average, Tarjner and caution.should be used at the present time to prevent this -occurence.

Beekeepers Meet December 6th. The County Beekeepers’ association will hold is regular meeting Saturday afternoon, December 6th, at 2 o’clock in the court house, according to President Frank Foltz. The subject of discussion will be “Diseases of Bees” and will be along the line of the war that the local associationjgfWaging to prevent the losses incident to these infections. The organization has made rapid progress in cleaning up disease to keep up the good work until colonies can be kept in all parts of the county without danger of loss. Dr. E. G. Baldwin, of the U. S. department of entomology, will lead the discussion and anyone desiring any information on beekeeping.invited to attend this meeting. Soil Studies Being Made. The state experiment station has secured a number of samples of soils in Jasper county, which it will use this winter in a study to determine why they are not productive in their relation to corn. The work is to be carried bn in a special greenhouse and seed from Lhe same" ear will be planted in pots containing the different types of soil as it is found in the fields and also in connection with various methods of soil treatment. While it is generally recognized that many of our soils do not contain enough potash for the corn crop, there are several characteristics that are not well understood and any light that may be thrown on the subject will be appreciated by dur corn growers.

THE SINFULNESS OF MAN.

We are sifting put the sinfulness that marred our olden creeds. From the vineyards where we labor we are thinning out the weeds. We are building for the future to a nobler, better plan; For the world has caught the vision ot the sinfulness of man. We have put the past behind us, as the . sturdy pioneers Saw within the Ungled forest Wil the glory of the years; So we face our trials calmly, for beyond them we" can see The greater goals of freedom and the world that is to be. These are days of self-denial; these are times tor sacrifice; —-7 It Is freedom we are gaining and each - - one muat pay the prica.——. We are drawing close together with a common end in view; For the greater joys we dream of we've a common task to do. We are sifting out the sinfulness that marred us iri the past. For the light of truth is shining through the clouds of doubt at last; We are building for the future to a larger, better plan, For all eyes have caught the vision of the sinfulness of man. —Charles Davis, Sing Sing, «8,809.

ALMOST AS GOOD AS EYES

Mechanical Device Invented by Seattle Man Truly a Wonderful Boon to the Blind. When a Seattle young man of twenty-six met with an accident in 1916 which resulted in the loss of his eyesight, he immediately set to work to try to evolve a mechanical device which would be, as nearly as possible, a substitute for eyes. After almost two years of patient effort .he has perfected an instrument which enables him to get 'about Without the Use of a cane, and the device has possibilities for use in navigation on land, 1 on the sea or in the air. The invention, which is called a indicator, Is described by Popular Mechanics magazine, as a specially constructed compass, two buzzers, right and left, and two dry cell batteries, and Is attacked to the belt by clips. The compass has an adjustable cap, which is turned as de-

sired. A notch indicates north. Two pins are suspended from the cap or cover, and this is mounted over the needle of the compass when it is set. If the wearer deviates from his set course, the compass needle comes in contact with the pin on the opposite side, closing a circuit, and the buzzer on that sounds a warning. The compass can be set for any direction and can be changed when desired. Plans to apply the device to boats .and aircraft are being developed. In this case, instead of sounding an alarm when the craft veered from its course, tSe indicator would close a contact Which over a rudder, thus- automatically steering the vessel in - a straight course. * ~

Bismarck Liked City's Noise.

Bismarck would have had little sympathy with the present crusade against the sounding of motor Jborns when most people are in bed, for he found that enhanced the value of a night’s rest. In his old age he confided to an interviewer that he’could “never sleep in Berlin at night when it Is quiet, but as soon as the noise begins, about four o’clock in the morning, I can Sleep a little and get my restfor the day.” Pepys also found comfort in nocturnal noises. “I still remember,” he records on September 23, 1661, when staying at Welling, “that of all the nights that I ever slept in my life I never did pass a night with more epicurfsm for sleep; there being now and then a noise of-people that waked me, and then it was a very rainy night, and then I was a little weary, that what between waking and then sleeping again., one after another, I never had so much content in all my life.”

Morgan's Gift to England.

The late . Mr. Pierpont Morgan’s beautiful stained glass, which has been deposited in the Victoria and Albert museum, has been presented z by his son to that institution as a national - gift. The French glass of the thir teenth .century (four panels) is particularly fine, though the remainder, which is of the German and Swiss । schools, is all of great value and beauty.
