Always on the Job “Ruth Elder,” a Tampa woman said, “is as generous as she is brave. She hates gossip and scandal I “A spinster at a tea was talking cruel scandal about a pretty Tampa , girl. Ruth interrupted after a while. “ ‘Of course,’ §he said, ‘it’s no tue to be virtuous if you’re ugly.’ j “The spinster looked very angry, j but before she could think of any- ' thing to say, Ruth went on: “‘A pretty girl’s face may be her I misfortune sometimes. An ugly one's is always her chaperon.’ ” He Deserved Charles Dana Gibson was praising the modern girl.

The BABY] ■. ,Z t Jfe i OSOjk, Why do so many, many babies of today escape all the yttle fretful spells ! and infantile ailments that used to I worry mothers through the day, and , keep them up half the night? If you don’t know the answer, you haven’t discovered pure, harmless Castoria. It is sweet to the taste, and sweet In the little stomach. And its gentle influence seems felt all through the tiny system. Not even a distasteful dose of castor oil does so much good. Fletcher’s Castoria is purely vegetable, so you may give it freely, at first sign of colic; or constipation; or diarrhea. Or those many times when you just don’t know what is the mat- i ter. For real sickness, call the doc- I tor, always. At other times, a few I drops of Fletcher’s Castoria. The doctor often tells you to do just that; and always says Fletcher’s. Other preparations may be just as pure, just as free from dangerous drugs, but why experiment? Besides, the book on care and feeding of babies that Fletcher’s Castoria Is worth its weight in gold!

DAIRY FACTS COWS NEED WARM DRINK IN WINTER Successful winter dairying calls for an adequate supply of water at -a temperature that will not paralyze the entire digestive tract of the cow when she drinks. “Water is equally as important as feed,” says Dr. C. H. Eckles, chief of the dairy division of the University of Minnesota. “A cow milking 30 pounds daily drinks close to 100 pounds of water every 24 hours. Sometimes wa- < tering the cows means turning them out of the barn once a day to drink what they can stand of ice-cold water. Can we imagine a cow which weighs; around 1,100 pounds drinking 100* pounds, or nearly one-tenth of her) weight, of ice water at once? Os I course she will not do it and conse- 1 quently will not give her owner 30 : pounds of milk even though she has' the ability to produce this much and has feed enough as well. “The milk flow may be cut down quicker by a lack of water, or by the use of ice water, than by poor feed. Individual drinking cups in my judgment pay more dividends to the user than almost anything else in the line of modern barn equipment. Even if the water is not warmed in the cups the cow will take such small amounts i at a- time, so long as it is above freezi ing, that no harm results from drinki ’.ng it cold. _ “If cows must be watered from a tank outdoors and under conditions which -mean ice water, it will pay to Install a water heater of some kind. It is much cheaper to warm the water with fuel than by giving the cow extra grain to warm it within her body.” Cows With Records Are Decreasing in Number Pure bred dairy cows type and with high official records are actually getting hard to find. The shortage, according to Roy T. Harris, supervisor of Wisconsin dairy i tests, is caused by the fact that since I 1920 there has been a marked decrease in official testing. Up to that time there was an abundance of tested animals, but as the demand for pure hreds slackened with the change in economic conditions many hreed- ' ers discontinued advanced registry testing. “The oversupply of animals with records is no longer evident,” declared Harris, “in fact, there is an I actual shortage of animals combining ' desirable form with even good advanced registry backing. This situaI tlon indicates that the most opportune time to start or renew testing is right this year.” Winter months are particularly favorable for starting cows on test, especially to make semi-official records. Co,ws freshening in the fall produce as much as 15 to 20 per cent ' more milk and but terfat than thhse calving in the summer. Another advantage of starting the test in the fall or winter is that on many farms plenty of help is generally available i to care for the cows when production is highest. In short time testing, I ranging from seven to thirty days, the best records are usually made In the winter. Providing Ice Storage for Use in the Summer As an aid to farmers in providing ice storage, the division of agricultural department of ag- | riculture. University of Minnesota, has prepared blue prints of a plan for a farm ice house holding 16 tons. The blue print shows just how the ice house should be built, and is distributed through the division of publications, University Farm, St. Paul, at the nominal charge of 10 cents to cover costs. With creameries paying premium prices for sweet cream, more and more farmers are becoming interested in providing ice for use in the summer in order that the cream may be kept cool until it can be marketed. Efficient Ration for Bull Calf Is Outlined A good bull calf ration is ten pounds of clover or alfalfa hay. together with a grain mixture of six parts of corn, four parts of oats and one part of linseed meal. The grain mixture should be fed according to the appetite of the calf, the object being to bring about a gain of about two pounds dally or a little better. To start with, five or six pounds of grain daily will be enough for the calf, but it soon can be increased to ten or twelve pounds. In some cases It pays to substitute bran for part of the oats and to increase the linseed meal in the ration to two pounds daily. ?=* Feed for Cows ■ Use home-grown feeds as far as possible. Alfalfa or other legume hay is best. For most economical production, provide silage. Feed one pound of hay and three pounds of silage for each 100 pounds weight of animal. If silage is not available, feed two pounds of hay for each 100 pounds weight. Use a good grain mixture containing a small amount of cottonseed meal or linseed meal. Feed one pound of grain mixture for each three pints or pounds of milk produced. Ground Feed Ground feed is not fed to calves for long, but shelled corn and oats are substituted and fed in the trough instead of the bucket. Any feed not cleaned up is taken out of the trough and fed to cows. A lump of salt is put in one end of the trough. The milk is fed twice a day and the calves are watered at noon. Fresh hay Is kept tn the trough during the day and since they have all the grain tliey want at feeding time the calves get the right kind of feed.

Six Things to Remember When Buying Resistors When you are getting -ready the parts list for a new' 1 set, power supply unit, or power amplifier, don’t pass lightly over the fixed resistors. Compared to some of the larger and more pretentious apparatus in the circuit, two or three small resistors may seem relatively unimportant But they’re > not I Remember that in equipment such as an eliminator or power .amplifier, the risistors determine in the final analysis the performance of units of this type. A resistor is the gate to control the flow of current Inaccurate, poorly made resistors mean at best results not so good as those to be hau with permanent, well made accurate risistors. k Keep these six buying points in mind when you purchase fixed resistors. If a resistor meets them all you can be sure of permanent performance. 1. A resistor should be unchanging in value, regardless of temperature or of load Imposed on it within its watts dissipation rating. 2. Purchase permanent value. That is, buy a resistor you know will not depreciate and affect the value of radio apparatus which may represent an investment of hundreds of dollars. 3. Buy an accurate resistor. 4. Look at the joints of the resistor. Oxidization of the resistance wire will occur unless. Joints are carefully sealed and permanently protected from all atmospheric action. 5. Buy resistors that are free from opacity and inductance characteristics. A resistor should be a resistance, not a condenser or a coil. If it has capacity or Inductance, it may affect your circuit. 6. Get resistors which won’t crack or deteriorate under long usage. Fixed resistors are important—and it’s no harder to find the type you want that conforms to the requirements above than it is to get one that’s half as good. No Neutralization With New Slpelded Grid Tube A tube with a theoretical amplification of 240 and a practical amplification of 90, when used in the proper circuit design, has been recently developed. This tube is known as the shield grid type 122, requires no neutralization, and, therefore, cannot oscillate when used in the proper circuit. Its practical amplification factor is 90, as contrasted with an amplification factor of 41 in rhe present style of tubes which the market affords. Its introduction at this time casts aside what has been an almost Insurmountable barrier in the development of radio, for despite all of the research and ingenuity expended in circuit designs, the stumbling block heretofore has been the tubes available. With the new tube in the hands of manufacturers and experimenters, it is not difficult to realize that the ideal radio set is much closer at hand than ever before. Good Battery Cheapest for a Good Radio Set Cheap dry batteries generally are short-lived and fail to render good service even during this period. The cheapest battery in the long run is the most expensive in the first place. Good materials are essential to produce good batteries —heavy seamless zinc cans, for instance, instead of flimsy, solderseained cases; good chemicals, with the muslin bag construction instead of the crude wet blotter; proper insulation between cells in the assembly of the block, and so on. It pays to buy a good battery at any time. Never Place a Charger Near “A” or “B” Battery Never place a charger using a tube near an “A” or “B” battery lead, because the heat emitted by the tube will in turn heat the plates in the battety. This will buckle the plates, loosen the material in the grids of the plates and may start the solution boiling. Ln other words, it will have the effect of either shortening the battery or reversing the charge, both of which are Injurious to the life of the battery. Rheostat, Grid Connections The rheostat ihould be connected in the negative side of the filament battery and the grid return of the tubes connecting to the negative “A” battery, or the egative “C” battery if more than 45 volts are used on the plate of the amplifier tubes. Gives Better Tuning The distance between the primary and secondary coils affects the selectivity of the tuner. » If the coils are too close, interference from other stations will be received with the program desired. A decided increase in selectivity is obtained with only a slight reduction in signal strength by increasing the distance between the coils. Care of Cones Though all loud speakers are fragile, the cone type Is most easily put out of commission. Avoid puncturing the paper, jolting the diaphragm, getting it wet or setting It on a radiator. Keep the set screw which bolds the plunger on the cone tight at all times, except when the speaker is being transported. __ A Battery Brief Be sure to keep dust off the tops of dry batteries. The accumulation of dust on their upper surfaces often leads to the gathering of moisture, thus forming a high resistance leak- I age for the rflow discharge of the bet- I tery. »n<t -> source of noise. *

THE SYRACUSE JOVRNAI,

Crop Rotation Aids Beekeeper Sweet Clover Termed One' of Best and Most Reliable Plants for Honey. Crop rotation and soil improvement programs, while not primarily intended to benefit the beekeeper, have nevertheless been very greatly to his advantage in Ohio, Virgil N. Argo, specialist in apiculture for Ohio State university, points out. One result of the progressive farming methods has been a very great increase in the Ohio acreage* of sweet clover, which Argo characterizes a? “one of the best and most reliable of all honey plants.” The acreage of sweet clover in Ohio has increased in the last decade from about 100,000 acres to between 300,000 and 350,000 acres. Honey-Producing Areas. “Originally,” Argo says, “there were two natural honey-producing areas in the state. Almost all the western half, covered with a glacial soil derived from limestone, supported the growth of clovers, and there were crops of alsike and white clover honey each year. In the northeastern corner of the state was the buckwheat section. “Improved methods of agriculture have enlarged these nectar sources. In western Ohio there has been a remarkable increase in the use of sweet clover. It gives a honey of exceptionally fine flavor and appearance and yields nectar every year. In northeastern Ohio there has been an increase in the use of lime as a soil treatment, with more and more land planted to alsike and white clover. Even the buckwheat area of the state now produces heavy crops of clover honey when weather conditions are favorable. Taste of Clover Honey. “Sweet clover honey has a distinctive spicy taste not found in white clover and alsike honeys. Buckwheat honey, the darkest on the market in this country, has a very strong flavor and is preferred by some persons, but there is not such a market demand for it as for the clover honeys.” New Type Feed Grinders Becoming Very Popular The last ten years has seen a very significant change in the design and construction of small feed grinders. In years gone by practically the only type which was available to the farmer was the burr type, which worked very satisfactorily and of which thousands were sold and put into successful use. The new type, however, that is coming into use seems to be very popular. It is known as the hammer mill and differs from the burr mill in having swinging hammers which strike the material to be ground and crush it much as a baseball bat would crush an apple if it were swung at it. These hammers are mounted on a rotating cylinder and are rather numerous, so that not very much of the material gets away.’ The hammers are made of manganese steel, a very hard substance, strongly resistant to wear. The degree of fineness to which material is ground is regulated by screens at the bottom through which the material can pass. So long as it is not fine enough to pass through the screens, it will be subjected to the action of the hammers until finally it is reduced to required fineness. EasjTto Capture Rats While They Are Young Rats, like the poor, we have always vrfth us, but it is at this season that they are generally thickest, owing to the 100 per cent results of their breeding. Fortunately, however, the adolescents among them can very nearly always be caught if only a regular campaign is undertaken against them. This is a good method: Cuf®some corks up into pieces the size of small peas and fry the fragments well in bacon fat or lard. Dish out the result into a tin plate and leave this near the creatures’ haunts (though don’t let your household pets or chickens get at the stuff). The younger rats will eat greedily thereof and perish in consequence. ? H ints forth e Man can live without milk, but not so well. • • • Gulleys in an eroded field are the ear-marks of shiftless farming. ♦ • • The successful farmer of today is the- farmer who uses power successfully. One-mule farming is too inefficient to pay. * • * Best results are obtained when lime for alfalfa is applied before tTie seed is sowed if the soil is sour, for lime acts slowly. » • * Cod liver oil fed to hens that are" housed closely during winter helps keep up egg production. • * • Fifty cents’ worth of acid phosphate added to a ton of manure makes it worth two tons of manure. ♦ • • When dry skim milk is remixed with water at the rate of one pound of powder to nine pounds* of water, it may be fed to calves exactly the same as fresh skim milk. • • • Prunus kansuensis, a new species of peach introduced from China by the United States Department of Agriculture, is being tested as a root stock for standard varieties of peaches. • • • Sweet clover may be seeded during the winter months when the soil is honeycombed from freezing and thawing. Under most conditions, it is best to -seed the crop in the spring either alone or with-oats as a nurse crop. When the crop is seeded during the winter, nonscarified seed should be used. For spring seeding, the scarified seed is preferable.

EGGS IN WINTER ARE PROFITABLE Winter is the very time when eggs are worth the most, when hens want to lay as much or more than they do at any other time, and when they are not allowed to do so by most poultrykeepers. Folks think there is a great mystery about making hens lay in winter. There is none; anybody can do it; that is, the hens will lay if you let them. They bear a good deal of cold io the sunshine, and even freeze their eombs and toes, and yet will not stop laying altogether if they can sleep warm. They are warm* themselves, and usually only need to be crowded on their roosts, with.the roosts all on one level. The ceiling of the roosting room should be only a few feet above the fowls’ heads, and provided with ventilation from the floor if possiole Give them very close quarters, with no draughts of cold air, and clean out under the roosts every morning. The combs will then redden up, and eggs will be plenty on less feed than usual. It must not be corn, however, or only a small percentage of it, for this will make them too fat to lay well if they sleep warm. A good way to arrange a hen house for winter is to make a ceiling of rails about six feet above the floor, covering the rails with hay, or coarse swamp bay of any kind. The roosts should be about three feet high above the floor, and movable, so that they may be kept perfectly clean. FoF small flocks of 30 to 50 hens, it is little trouble to take the roosts down every morning when the floor is cleaned, and replace them as night. It removes from lazy fowls the temptation to sit in idleness on the roost forhalf the day. Keep Chickens in Good Health by Giving Oats One of the best ways to keep chickens in good health is to feed green food. It acts as a regulator, keeping the bowels open. Sprouted oats are as good a source of green food>as anything, when fed, roots and all, to the layers once a day as much as the birds will clean up in about half an hour. The oats are soaked for 24 hour? is warm water, that is, slightly warmer than room temperature. They are then spread in trays of any convenient size to a depth of about one and onehalf inches and allowed to sprout until the green sprouts are about three inches long, at which time they are fed. If the oats can be kept at a temperature of about 70 degrees, the sprouting will be more satisfactory than if the room is cool. To prevent the oats from becoming moldy, wash and disinfect the trays when they are emptied after each sprouting. Three or four drops of formalin may be put in each pail of water used for soaking the oats before they are spread on the trays. Sometimes the oats are allowed only to germinate, that is, they are soaked in water as for sprouting and are spread on the trays but are not permitted to sprout to the. extent described above. They are fed when tfie sprouts show a length of only one-fourth inch. They are not green. These germinated oats are frequently mixed in the mash and fed. Metal Bands Are Useful in Culling Hen Flock In order to systematically cull the poultry flock, one should know how old the hens are. Al) two-year hens ought to be sold, with the exception of those to be used for breeders. This is especially true of the general purpose and heavier breeds. If the pullets are marked with some kind of a metal band, one will have no chance for guesswork. Special sealed bands may be secured for the purpose or ordinary round hog rings may be used. The advantage of the regular bands lies in the fact that each hen can be identified. If the bands are put on the left leg one year and on the right leg the next year, one has an accurate mark by which he can tell the age of the hens. Sand Is Essential Sand is- essential for hens to supply grit, but not for dusting material Even fine sand would not be dusty enough to do any good from the standpoint of a dust bath. Hens dust themselves in order to keep lice under -Control and their feathers in good condition. The fine dust gets into the breathing pores of the lice, thereby exterminating them. Supply the hens with a good-quality dust and then give them sharp sand so that they can pick up the grit. Hen to Keep The kind of a hen to keep is one that is strong and vigorous with a short, neat head and a strong beak. She has a long, deep, rectangular body, the top and bottom lines of which are parallel. She has large bright eyes, is active and has short, well-worn toe nails. She isn’t much for appearance, but has a bright, healthy look. She molts late and rapidly; is noisy, happy and friendly. She retires late and is off the roost with the break of day. Vermin Remedy A box of fine, dry dust in the hen house is a good remedy for vermin. Wallowing in dust is nature’s own way of getting rid of the lice that live on the hens. Mites make their headquarters in and around the roosts, and the hen’s owner must attend to these. The remedy is to spray or paint the woodwork with some good creosote preparation, or with old crank case oil thinned a little by adding kerosene to it This will discourage th-

Dr. Caldwell’s 3 Rules Keep You Healthy

Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless of how much one tries to avoid it. Os next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation, known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It cannot harm the most delicate system and is not a habit forming preparation. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their system. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly, more cleanly and gently, without griping and harm to the system. Keep free from constipation I It robs your strength, hardens your arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to a druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Dr. CaldW’ell’s Syrup Pepsin. Take the proper dose that night and by morning you
