THE earl of Bessborough. Ca huda *» new governor general, cornea to the , ]«omit.h'>n heralded as the wealthiest than ever to hold the office. He is also the first governor general to be chosen by the Canad Ia n government. Under the new Dominion status be was appointed by the king j on the advice of his

Canadian ministers. The appointment was announced from Ottawa, not from London. Early governors general of Canada were actual as weH as official heads of government. They took a direct part In the administration of public affairs. One negotiated a treaty with the United States, another plunged directly Into a political campaign, a third was attacked with eggs, in Montreal when be signed what was known as the rebellion lasses bill. Thirty x years ago a governor general blocked a list of appointments rushed through by a defeated government. Ry degrees, however, governors gene» .< came to take a less active part in oolitic*. Oniy once in recent years has

a governor general acted against ttye advice of the premier. When \V. L. M. King was defeated in the house of commons a year after a general election. Lord Byng declined to dissolve parliament and called, on Arthur Melghen to form a government. When Meighen was defeated within a week an election had to follow. The constitutional issue—the right of a governor general to decline the advice of the premier to dissolve parliament - was one of the m.3b features of the campaign and the return of Mr. King to office made it certain that never again would a governor general reject a premier's advice.

A word of encouragement from their lender would doubtless be sufficient to send them on ’he warpath in deI fiance of the Presidential decree. Hut Hitler gives no word tis encouragement. Instead, he issues a strict and emphatic command for all Fascists to ba good and to obey, Hindenburg to the letter. He has announced from the start that his followers will keep strictly within the law. hut that they will do all in their power to destroy or change the laws. And so now Hitler declares that lie is preparing to go before the Gentian courts with a strong argument that the Hindenburg decree is unconstitutional and ineffective. When Fascism gets a hearing in court ther|e would seem to be a fine chance for the safe broadcasting of propaganda. ? THE conviction of Albert B. Fall, secretary of the interior in the Harding administration, on a charge of accepting a bribe in the oil lease scandals, has been upheld by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. At the same time the court sustained the conviction of Harry M. Blackmer, oil operator, for contempt of court in t refusing to leave a self-imposed exile In France to testify in the oil trial. Unless the United States Supreme court permits Mr. Fail to take an appeal to its bar, the mandate .of the

Then, Senator Bingham thinks, they would call a halt and taxes could be reduced. i The senator admits he realizes his ’ pr«.'je>-ai will be "extremely unpopular," but he thinks that at the bottom of federal, state and municipal extravagance in this country is the feel- j lug »f a large 'lenient in the elector ■ \ ate that when it votes taxes it votes! awaj some one else's money.. As long as that feeling exists, there is no incentive.

He I . is the first, in discussions of the ap- ■ i proaching $7i»0.000.000 deficit, to sug- i gest tax demands be made on smaller incomes. Some legislators said they would favor increasing the levies on bigger incomes, while leaders of both parties and in both houses have insisted greater taxes will not be necessary. President Hoover believes an increase will not be necessary if congress restricts appropriations. Republican Leader Tilson of the house thinks an increase fs not now needed j and should not become mandatory. Members of both major parties have | I promised to co-operate to keep down j expenditures at the next session, thus eliminating a need for more’ money . through increased taxation.

London’s consternftion has been changed to something like exultation by the announcement of Prime Min ister Scullin, of the Commonwealth government, that his government would take over the New South Wales obligation and bring suit against the state to recover. Mr. Ijing is seemingly taking a leaf from the book of some southern American states which, many years ago, were guilty of a number of repudia- ’ tions.

MANY DISORDERS OF FOWL FLOCK Ailments Cause Serious Loss to Poultry Owners i (Prepared by the United States Department of A writ ulture ) — WNU Service. Preventive measures properly ap plied constitute the best menn* of controlling poultry diseases and parasites, says the United States l>epartrnent of Agriculture in Farmers’ Bulletin 1652-F, IMseaseScgnd Parasites ot Poultry, just issued. This publication describes the various diseases and parasites of -'oinesti--ated birds, so the p< ultry owner may wognize them and apply the proper control methods. All kinds of poultry are susceptible to diseases and parasites, most of which cause serious loss to fl<K-k owners who Ignore the danger. Among the precautionary measures mentione-i are the immediate separation of sick birds from healthy flocks, frequent removal of droppings, saiiltat'-n of fees’ and water utensils, and the use of ! clean soil in runways for both young j and old birds. Good disinfectants de- ■ stroy the germa of contagious diseases, parasites such as mites, ar.-t in some : cases the eggs of parasitic worms. As ; the most severe damage from py;i sites occurs among young birds, take special ciire to protect them from infection. Among the most serious poultry diseases described in the bulletin are | bacillary white diarrhea of young i chicks and -avian tuberculosis which affects principally old birds, t’occi- i •liosis among young chicks and black- i boaij of turkeys are mentioned as Itn- j portant parasitic diseases. Lice, mjtes. and worms take a heavy toll in ninny ■ flocks. The publication discusses ail ments such as roup, colds, bronchitis, and others resulting from ’xpesure. The bulletin is a revision of and supersedes a former Farmers Rulle tin entitled Diseases of Poultry. Farmers’ Bulletin 1652-F .nay be ole tqined on application to the <'flice ot Information.

True, he may have got some spiritual consolation ' from it, but there was a significance < that bad not dawned upon him. He kept hard at it. working his I.mg hours each day and far into the night with little of the comforts of home that i make It a solace and comfort after the day's work’ is over. His first consideration was a barn. And after he hud built a structure that was n<»f to be excelled in the neighboring country, he built a hoghouse or sheep barn. All the while he was living in a makeshift shelter which he called home. j But the light was coming, coming to show the way in the darkness. The light thrtt showed the real value of a home, the absolute economy of the idea, and its influence on the future of the boys and girls who were growing up. As they began Io desert the farms, to leave their parents to go to the lights of the city, rhe farmer began to think, ami as he thought, he began to spe, the gleam that was to enlighten ” him: He realized that to keep his boys on rhe farm, to get the maximum joy out of life, he would have tn buil I a regular home as well as a substifntial barn. And with the home came many nt the conveniences tlmt are now available In the city. With the home came running water, bathrooms, and electric light, the tight that was to lead the f irmer down the road to ideal home life. You would have to travel far and l<HiC tn find a modest farm Imme that emlxulies more real comfort, more convenietiee and labor-saving Inventions than the house shown here with floor plans, it is not at all elaborate, being of the familiar, practical ami economical square or b«>x type, ajs It is often railed, frame exterior set on a firm

When Purchasing Home Get Tax Rate Data Tn the purchase of a house it Is well to find out the tax rate and the assessed valuation. s«> that 'the amount of taxes to be paid each year may be estimated. If the street is to he paved, nr new water sewer, or gas mains, or. electric light lines nre to be put In. there may be special ..ssessments charged against the property. It Is well to find out which ones of these must be allowed for. Floors Become Decqrative When Colored Properly There is as much opportunity to display decorative taste in the coloring of a floor as there is in the treatment of walls, woodwork, furniture and drapes, and these opportunities cati be taken advantage of with the many colored floor finishes now available. The theory of interior decorative treatment suggests that the floor be darker In tones than the walls, the idea being that the lower portion of

concrete with high cellar for heating plant and storage room. A farmhouse without plenty of room for a large laundry, vegetable store room and modern heating plant. Is not worth while and certainly not practical. The front door opens into a small vestibule in which there is a clothes closet for outdoor clothes, umbrellas, etc. The reception hall opens into the large living room. 13 by 16 feet 6 inches, arranged In the manner In Which modern buildings are. with fireplace and side wall bookcases. Windows in front and side provide plenty of light. It is also important to note in these flof ” plans that all electrical fixtures and outlets are indicated. From the living room, one enters the dining room through a doorway rather wide and pla n. In the dining room provision is made for a central lighting fixture over the table, and smaller wall fixtures around the room. This rootn gets light from a triple side window. Grossing over, we find the door to the kitchen, a small, compact room of modern design and arrangement, off the kitchen are pantry and washroom. the latter a necessary room in the farmhouse plan, a place where the men coming in from the fields can wash up before stepping into the house proper. In this way much of the dirt that used to come into the farm kitchen is left out. Off the dining room to the rear is a bell room for those who have to wash early. There is also_a lavatory in connection with the washroom. This arrangement leaves the upper floor entirely to bedrooms, of which there are four in this plan. With a rear screened-in sleeping porch and balcony. The two front bedrooms are i" feet square, while the.two rear ones are 12 by 13 feet. They all have clothes closets. In short, we-have a modern farm home. we|! constructed, containing all of the conveniences ami comforts of the city heme. It is rhe antidote for the.poison that is gnawing at the vitals of the youth on the farm and driving them to uncertain conditions in tht? great cities. There Is no excuse for the old fashioned home any more. The snap of a burton or the turning of a switch gives the best light there is at small cost.

the room should have an appearance of greater solidity than the upper part. While the idea of light colors for floors is contrary to theory, probably you have ben impressed pleasantly with the beauty of colorful rugs. Gradually we are getting away from the usual dark floor. Perhaps you have a room that has not pleased you. Often the floor Is nt fault, or. if not at fault, often a change in the color of the floor will make the room more attractive. The idea Is worthy of note. In floor finishing, color is but one consideration. The surface must he properly prepared for refinishlng, the proper finish must, be used, and then the floor must be given Intelligent care. Bear these points in mind. Wall Paper Designs The modern wall paper manufacturer pays the bill. His expenditures amount to many thousands of dollars on Aich pattern put at your disposal.

ONION-FLAVORED MILK AND CREAM To Prevent Keep Cows Off of Pastures Jnfested. Onion flavors> in milk and cream, which sometimes occur in early spring, may be prevented by seeing that milk cows do not satisfy their craving for green pasture plants on wild oniqns. People who “know their onions’’ prefer them separate from milk, coffee, cream or butter. Onion cream cannot be made into a good ‘grade of butter. To avoid heavy, loss, the creamery . must either refuse to buy it or cut I the price paid at least 10 cents per i pound butterfat. , ( The remedy for onion-flavored dairy products is to keep the cows otT of pastures that have onions, according to John O. Toliver, deputy Colorado state dairy commissioner. Where there is no other pasture, let the cows ograze two or three hours after milking time and then shut them off the onions the balance of t he day. he advises. Milk will lose part of the onion flavor if it is properly aerated by pou.ing over the cooler two, or three times. When onioh milk is separated, the flavor stays with the fat in the cream. Stir the cream frequently and i do hot keep lids on the cans at all. Most Important to Feed Milk Producing Rations ! T’ne fallacy of keeping feed costs I down with no regard fort the amount. i of milk the cows produce is well shown . ; by the records of an Illinois, dairy herd I improvement association. The lowest I producing herd in this association had an average yearly feed cost of s2!t a .i cow—the highest herd"s7tta cow. The ! latter herd produced 375 pounds of butterfat and made an income Over the cost of feed -of $l2B per cow., The herd with the low feed cost of $2!) a head produced only I'm. pounds of butterfat for the year at a profit over - feed cost of S3O per cow. The feed ’ bill of the higher producing herd was more than double the. fet'd cost for the lower producers, yet the protit over feed cost for these higher producers was likewise more than double that of the cows of lower production. For greatest'profit from any dairy herd, be it only two cows or twenty Cows, the important thing is to feed good milk-making rations, and to feed each edw as much of this ration as she will eat for greatest return. To lean* ( how much feed a cow needs .for most I profitable milk production, a daily record is needed of th * amounts of milk 'J produced and feed consumed | cow. Prevent Contaminating Milk With Bad Flavors Taking cows off of garlic or onion ; Infested pastures five hours before ' i milking will decrease chances of conI laminating the milk with this most ; unpleasant odor, according to Or. A. H. Ruehe. University of Illinois. It is i better to.inspect the pastures early in the spring and fence off the onion or ■ garlic pastures. The onion flavor in milk is not the only had flavor to guarded against In the spring. As soon as the weather Is warm enough to quit wearing an overcoat it fs time to begin cooling the . milk as soon as it is drawn and thus prO-vent other had odors in milk. Improving Quality .of All Dairy Products The problem of raising the genera! level of quality of milk and cream at the point of production, the farm, is one that must be given /tiore con- . ' sideration. The objects, of quality Improvement are to increase consumption and provide the consumer with i clean, wholesome and nutritious dairy products. Statistics on the per capita t of milk show’ that the southern states are low in their per capita consumption of milk: they show that these states are low in ' their per capita consumption of al! kinds of dapw products, as compared with other sections of tlie country. Abortion Control A!...rt’.m *t:i'.e« a 1.-i' -'e toll of the dairy industry and it is regrettable that we know so little about control measures. Vaccines of one kind am! another have been sold and some of them seem to be fairly effective In some herds and of little effect in oth- ; erg. One or two facts we are sure of I —that the spread of the disease is largely through germs expelled in the I droppings andjarried to the feed giv- ■ enTo healthy cows or heifers. Prob- ; ably the contagion is carried to the feed on the feet of the herdsman. Bad Milk Flavors t Certain weeds, especially wild onions, garlic, and leeks impart to milk, cream and butter, flavors which are not desired, such as a most Intense onion flavor, which is very difficult to remove from these products. These flavors usually appear in milk and cream in spring and fall, due to the cows having access to pastures which are not sufficiently advanced, or have dried up too much to satisfy the cows, causing them to feed on anything green they can find. Why Cows Kick Cows/often kick because they are being /hurt by the milker’s finger nails or because the teats are cracked or sore from various causes. Sometimes a cow kicks just because she apparently likes to do.it. In that case the best solution is to tie the legs together or use one of the patented devices to prevent kicking. Milking machines provide another solution, for cows seldom dislike being milked mechanically. If the machines arg properly operated.
