USEFUL SERVANT OF MANKIND

Hard to Say What the World Would Do If Deprived of Carbonic Acid Gas. The American constitution Is noT In a fair way to become saturated with carhonlc acid gas. Reference is not made to the document signed by the forefathers, but to the constitution that gets run down every spring and has to he perked up with cod liver oil. Well, It won't he as had as It sound. Carbonic ncld gas Is quite harmless. It's made from coke, and It Is probably the most versatile servant that mankind has. It's like those medicines that the almanacs say nre good for everything. It can put a kick In your Ice-cream soda, or your lemon phosphate. It's In all fire extinguishers. It's used to harden steel. It's used in making sugar, to remove the lime frrtm the juh-e of the cane. It's a refrigerating agent and also is used In making bicarbonate of soda, the substance one takes for heartburn. And It forms one of the chief curative agents used In the baths at such resorts as Neaheim in Kurope f.nd Saratoga in this country. Manufacturers of carhonlc gas In this country report that they have doubled their output in the last year because of the increased demand for carbonated beverages, or "soft drinks." At present, In round numbers, carbonic acid gas enters Into ,'170,M , gallons of beverages in the United States.

NEVER AGAIN FOR PLUM LEY Victim of Unkind Suspicions Will Carry No More Stuff Home to Oblige the Wife. Mr. IMumley was embarrassed and well might he be. For the suitcase he was carrying had sprung a leak! And as he walked swiftly through the crowd on the street it seemed that everyone glanced down nt the leather bag, and saw that something was wrong. Curses on that prohibition law! Ever since it had been passed people noticed any one who carried a package especially a suitcase. A policeman eyed him suspiciously and Plumley hurried faster than ever, almost breaking into a run. He boarded a street caf and placed the bag on the tloor In front of him, trying to cover It with Ids feet as much as possible. It was useless. The stuff continued to trickle out and soon formed n miniature pool. Some of the - rednosed male passengers looked envious; straphangers saw it and smiled; even the Ignorant-appearing wop in the next seat looked wise! Hut all Pknnley could do was to turn several colors and wish them all In hades! In something like a year the car arrived at his suburban home. "Were you able to get any?" asked his wife at once. -Yes," said Plumlcy. throwing the suitcase to the door with a bang, "plague take 'em! Those are the last ovsters I'll ever carry home!" Autoists Blame Potato Bugs. Potato bugs ate speed foes In south Jersey, say the motor drivers who have Investigated the reason for the skidding of automobiles on apparently dry roads. They declare that the trouble has been caused by potato bugs migrating from one Held to another and cnslng the roads in the paths of their machines. Automobiles are exterminating about as many of the pests as the usual application of poison sprays, as the latter have washed off nearly as fast as they have been applied during the rainy weather, one farmer is said to have placed a motor horn in his spraying out tit. As he had previously trained his tlock of geese to gobble up the potato beetles, he claims that the h.nki ig of the horn I; tpiite effective in lVghte:iing the pvts away. Beware Yellow Butterfly.

THREATEN CROPS IN MANY STATES

Vigorous Measures Against Attack of Chinch Bugs Are Urged by Federal Bureau. MISSOURI REPORTS OUTBREAK Severe Infestations in Central Mississippi Valley Region From Texas Northeasterly to Illinois and Michigan. (Prepared Dy the United States Department of Agriculture.) Energetic measures against tho chinch bugs which threaten injury not only to the wheat "and rye crops of Missouri but to corn as well are urged by the bureau of entomology. United States Department of Agriculture, In view of reports of an impending outbreak of the pest in that state. Widespread and severe infestations of the pest are reported in the whole central Mississippi valley region, starting, in northern Texas and extending In a northeasterly direction over Oklahoma, Kausas and Missouri, touching Nebraska, and extending across Illinois end Indiana into Michigan. " Generally Distributed Through State. The chinch bugs, latest advicessay, have had a mild winter and are generally distributed throughout the Missouri wheat and rye fields, breeding In considerable numbers In the St. Louis neighborhood early in May. The farmers, it is said, have been Watching the pest more closely than usual this spring, but all of them do not know yet that there is danger that their corn may be damaged worse than normal last year. Wheat is likely to ripen one or two weeks earlier this year, and the rains have delayed the planting of corn. The bugs are certain to migrate when the wheat ripens and the corn will be so backward that damage by thp bugs Is likely to be very severe. It Is well to expect the bugs to begin migrating to corn as soon as the wheat butts begin to harden Into maturity ten days before the heads are ripe. Any barrier work or creosote repellant line work should begin as the bugs will migrate in increasing numbers as the wheat stalk ripens upward. The binder will shake loose those not already out and stragglers will continue to migrate In serious numbers for Ave Healthy Held of Wheat. to tlfteen days after liui'vcaL Barriers, therefore, must be maintained from the time of migration until possibly two or three weeks have elapsed. Sow a Trap Crop. It will he found of much value to sow two drill widths of millet between corn and the nearby fields of wheat and rye. The more quickly this Is done the better, so as to make as good growth as possible of this trap crop before the bugs attack it. When the bugs have migrated Into the trap crop it should be plowed seven or morp inches deep. Care must be taken to plow deeply and well, .then to pack the ground with a drag or harrow or roller. Little time or work Is required to make this strip and the cot Is small. It has hitherto been found very profitable. SEPARATE PENS FOR POULTRY Not a Wise Plan to Keep3eese, Ducks, Chickens and Turkeys Together In Same Yard. It pays to keep each variety of poultry to itself. Ducks and geese will foul a hen yard; gees? will drive away all others at feeding time and hog everything, while young turkeys may be killed by hens and roosters. A separate lot for each Is best, and will soon pay for itself In quicker growing stock. In addition, it is more convening to handle each when kept to Itself. Usually all that Is necessary Is an individual feeding yard. WATER OF MUCH IMPORTANCE Big Factor in Development of Poultry on Free Range Adequate Supply Needed. The watering of the free range poultry is an important factor in their development. Allowing birds to be without water for a few hours on a hot summer day will seriously Injure them tind retard growth. The water supply uiut bo udtuUKte.

DEMONSTRATE SOUND FARMING PRACTICES

Excellent Work Done by Pennsylvania Pig-Club Members. Boys and Girls Prove That Good Hogs Properly Fed and Cared For Do Better Than Common Stock With Ordinary Care. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.! That boys and girls can demonstrate, the best farm practices in their respective communities Is shown conclusively by reports of the work done by Pennsylvania club members In 1020. Statistics of pig-club members may be taken as an example. It Is estimated by men who know something about the swine industry in this state that the average daily gain of all hogs in the state good bad. and Indifferent Is about nnc- ' ' f i . y t'.'t.; 3 Pig-Club Members Exhibiting Their Prize Pigs at State Fair. half pound per day. How do you think the club records compare with that? Guess before you read on. Club members in the pig-feeding club (producing pork) made their pigs gain 1.19 pounds, while those raising gilts to breed put 1.12 pounds per day on their pigs. That was a good demonstration that good pigs, properly fed and cared for, will do much better than common stock with ordinary care, It pays, too, for the better results can be obtained on the same amount of feed. Robert Webster of the Iluntersvllle Pig-Feeding club, Lycoming county, Is the state pig-club champion as far as gain per day" is concerned. Robert fed a purebred Poland China pig. which gained 2.43 pounds per day. That pig surely did make a hog out of himself, didn't he? TOWN HAS PUREBREDS ONLY Ohio Township Is 100 Per Cent on Right Side No Grade or Scrob Sires to Be Found. The township of Jackson, in Hardin county, Ohio, Is entirely free from grade and scrub sires. In -notifying the United States Department of Agriculture of this fact, Prof. John W. Wulchet of the Ohio agricultural extension service, adds, "This is the first township which has come to our attention that we feel satisfied Is 100 per cent on the right lde. Xo sire was considered purebred unless it could be proved that its sire and dam were registered." 0 The survey of sires. Included the principal classes of live stock, except poultry, and was made for advance credit by a student in the college of agriculture. The survey showed that the township included IGT farms, on which were 21 purebred boars, 20 purebred rams, C purebred beef bulls, ;j purebred dairy bulls, and 2 purebred stallions. Xo grade or scrub sires of any kind were found In the township. SPRAY FOR ALFALFA WEEVIL Increased Production of One-Half Ton to Acre Secured by Application of Arsenate. The county agent leader in Utah reporting to the United States Department of Agriculture says the spray do veloped by the olllce cf cereal and forajre insect investigations, bureau of en tomology, in the department has in creased the production of the sprayed over the unsprayed alfalfa fields by an average of one-half ton to the acre. This spray Is made of two to two and one-half pounds of lead arsenate or calcium arsenate to 100 gallons of wuter. It is applied In a line mist with a power sprayer at the rate of SO to 100 gallons to the acre. The state leader says ol farms were Included In the demonstration, which covered 10,113 acres. It Is estimated the saving effected by this form of alfalfa control amounted to $09,007. CRITICAL PERIOD FOR PIGS Young Animals Will Make Market Hogs Only When Weaned Without Checking Growth. Pigs at eight or ten weeks of age are just at the most critical period of their lives. As a rule they will make profitable market hogs only when they are weaned without checking their growth. With some kind of green forage crops and slf-feeders where they can eat corn, wheat middlings and tankage they will go through the weaning period and scarcely miss the milk they are getting from the fn?r when she Is removtl.

A. great greenish-white diamond, known as the "Maximillian stone," is on exhibition for the Hrt time In this country ut New York. Elke all large gems, this stone has a history which is not happy. It was found In Brazil about 1S50, and in its rough state weighed nearly 50 carats. Ferdinand Joseph Maximillian, then archduke of Austria, traveled extensively In South America. While he was in Brazil he bought the diamond, it is said, for a price approximating $375,000. The Jewel today Is in the same condition as It was when worn by the Empress Marie Charlotte in Maximilliau's short reign In Mexico. When Maximillian was executed a commission was designated to sell the diamond along with other gems that had loen part of the gorgeous court. The stone was bought by an American. As part f his estate the diamond Is again to be bold. Nasty Inference. 'I claim that congressiaen are paid more than they're worth." "How much are they paid?" MI don't know."
