'Romance in Realm of World Finance

Drama Is Woven Around the Pound and Franc. London. —Romance still lives in the world of international finance, aL thoogh ft may be dimmed by • few drab technicalities. The most recent drama was woven about the English pound and the French franc. with tfce Austrian shßllng as tWe"poor.*lodg"Bufferfng orphan. Its sensational ending dispelled, for the present at least, all hopes of France to make Paris the greatest noney market in Europe. The ciWtalß rises with the CreditAnstalt, once, the most powerful institution In central Europe, slowly approaching collapse. Its funds had been used liberally to support Austrian Industry and manufacturers In adjoining states, when the economic depression descended. In a moment of desperation. Austrian leaders turned to their old ally, Germany, which had little money to offer, but suggested a reciprocal customs scheme whereby industry of both states would’ benefit, thus lessening the pressure upon the Credit-Anstalt. Thus was born the Austro-German customs union, which precipitated more heated discussion In Europe than any Incident since the armistice. France feared a new alliance between Austria and Germany in contravention of the treaty of Versailles and offered financial assistance to the Credit-Anstalt In return for abolition of the proposed scheme. However, after the measure had been referred to the Hauge court for final settlement, France’s enthusiasm for offering financial aid cooled. In return for floating a S2I,OtoUX.K) loan urgently needed by the Credit-Anstalt. French financiers demanded Austria scrap the customs union. Austria’s acquiescence, observers pointed out. would have made her simply another franc child of Faris and enhance the city’s prestige as a money market. - At the crucial moment, however, the Bank of England as the "hero’* swept upon the stage with Its money bags filled with s2lr OUo.OOO. The Credit-Anstalt was saved.

Big Cities Spend More Than Three Billion

<s> New York Takes the Lead in List of 250. Washington.—The 250 cities of the nation having a population of Lore than 30,000 paid $3,435,289,927 for the operation of their governments in 1929. Their revenue totaled $3,075,234,308. and property subject to ad valorem taxes totaled tor city purposes was valued at $80,402,335,256. or $1,814 per capita. These figures are given In a compilation made public by the Department of Commerce. The revenue receipts totaled. $607.009,389 more than the payments of the year, exclusive of payments for permanent Improvements, but $360.055.619 less than the total payments, including those for permanent Improvements; In only 87 of the cities was there sufficient r-’enue to meet all payments during the year. The payments in excess of revenue receipts were met from the proceeds of debt obligations. The gross debt outstagding at ha close of the year amounted to $8,961,973.215, or a per capita cf $202.22. consisting of $7,886,749,779, funded or fixgd; $539,446,218. special assessment bonds and certificates: $43b>465.087, revenue loans, and $99,312,131, outstanding warrants.

New York led the list Following New York tn the matter of governmental "ost was Chicago, with a total of $172,795,000. The next eight cities, ranked according to their governmental costs, were Philadelphia, Detroit, Los Angeles. Boston.

ABOUT THE HOUSE ~| Rust in ovens is due mostly to moisture that develops from baking or broiling. If the oven door is kept open for twenty minutes after use the moisture will evaporate and remove the cause of rust. Dry chewing gum, often carried Indoors on the soles of shoes, is easily removed from carpets and rugs by putting on a few drops of gasoline. The gum will crumble and can be brushed off. Serving a sherbet with the meal course adds a novelty touch to the dinner. It is not only delicious in itself but gives a piquant contrasting flavor to heavier dishes. Another all-impor-tant point for the busy housewife is that sherbets are Vasily and quickly prepared. A well-known scientist In the field of nutritional psychology recently suggested that an excellent way to stim- ■ ulate digestion is to partake of a isweet snack—a second dessert as it were—a half hour or so after meal time. A tew pieces of candy, some small cakes, in fact, anything sweet, he said, is not only a pleasant aftermath to dinner but helps stimulate the flow of gastric juices needed to Complete digestion.

Cattle Owners See Value of T B Test Convinced After Seeing Officials at Their Work. fPrepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.*—WNU Service. Cattle owners who doubt the value of the tuberculin test are Invited to follow, their reactors to slaughter and see the post-mortem inspection. Recently L. C. Larson, of Tipton. lowa, after seeing the slaughter of some of his fine beef cattle which had reacted to the tuberculin test, said: “I’ll admit, gentlemen, I had no faith in the test, but I want to tell the world that when one feels as I did about it. all he has to do is to follow his cattle to slaughter and he will realize that tbe government knows what it is doing." The story of Mr. Larson, his brother. I. S. Larson, their father, and a neighbor, following a bunch of reactors to the shambles at Cedar Rapids, was reported to the United States Department of Agriculture by one of its in the field. The animals were slaughtered at an establishment where federal meat Inspection is maintained. In conformity with federal regulations each animal was distinctly marked to retain the identity of the carcass and parts throughout the procedure of slaughter and post-mortem inspection, which was conducted by veterinarians trained in meat inspection. One carcass was tuberculous to such a degree that it was condemned in its entirety and destroyed for food purposes. Irt the others the disease had not reached a stage to require the condemnation of other than lesser parts. One of th<» cows had an open tuberculous, lesion of the udder and therefore badheen a very dangerous source of the disease. The establishment jvftere Tbe cattle were slaughtered is one of about 800 in the United States where federal meat inspei'tion is conducted. The policy of letting cattle owners see for themselves is tn line with the official procedure in testing cattle for tuberculosis and tn disposing of reactors. department officials explain. The state, the federal government, and local veterinarians are willing to have any cattle owner see what happens to his reactors when slaughtered. He may also examine the records kept at slalightering establishments operating under federal meat Inspection to find what disposition Is .made of his own reactors. In other states, as well as tn lowa, the officials stand behind the tuberculin test. Thin Fall and Winter Apples, Say Specialists By thinning fall and winter apples, orehardists can improve the size, color, grade of their fruit, according to specialists in horticulture at the Ohio State university, who declare that the practice does not reduce total yield and Increases the amount of number one apples. Culls which are removed now are difinitely disposed of, while good fruits that will grade out continue to grow. Because of this they believe that thinning should be looked upon as a harvestlng and not a growing cost Other advantages of thinning, def clare the specialists, are that tree breakage Is reduced, tree vigor Is improved, better .control of the second brood codling moth can be secured, all fruit handling costs are lowered, and the apples riperr more' uniformly and require fewer pickings than do unthinned trees. It is best, they believe, to remove afl blemished, smalt, and misshapen apples end to leave only the hest single apples in the clusters; For most varieties an eight-inch spacing Is the i mosr satisfactory. Better Care of Swine Results in More Pigs i The increase this year in the average number of pigs raised per litter i l throughout the United States is partly ; a result of the more general applica- | tion of the swine-sanitation system, in the opinion of E. Z. Russell, in charge \ of swine investigations for the United States Department of Agriculture, who comments on the department’s pigsurvey report for June. This year the average was 6.04 pigs per litter, an increase nfO.OT pig over test year ».nd | 0.37 pig over 1929. This is the first time In nine years that the average has exceeded six pigs per litter. “The Increase made in the last two years cannot he credited to any one factor." Mr. Russell explain, "but It is probable that much of the showing Is ‘ due to better management of herds and especially to the prevention of worm infestation of ynung. pigs, through tbe use of the swine-sanita-tion system. The favorable weather cooditiouß during the spring farrow-*. Ing seasons both this year and last was, no doubt, a great help Ln preventing pig Josses everywhere."

WRY KEEP THE GROWING CHICKS WELL FED Several Rations Economical and Effective. 1 Growing chicks should be well fed to insure health, protection against disease, rapid, economical gains while they are young, and quality flavor to the meat/of broilers and friers, says O. C. Ufford, extension poultryman at the Agricultural college. A simple, economical and effective growing ration for the farm flock can be made, Uftord suggests, from the following ingredients: / The scratch mixture may be cracked corn of a siz& suitable ttieMflck, whole wheat- mixture bf equal parts of these two grains.A mash mixture may be composed of the following feeds, he says: Fine yellow ctfrnmeal. 35 pounds: bran, 25 pounds; shorts. 25 pounds; meat meal or meat scrap, 10 pounds; bone meal, 4 pounds; salt, 1 pound. Ground wheat may be substituted for tne bran and shorts if desired. When milk Is available tn any form, it can very profitably be fed to the flock, it Is added. < “The mash should be kept in suitable, non-wasting feeders, allowing the chicks free access to it at all times," the extension poultryman says, “and feedinc space should he provided so that at least one-fourth of the flock cap feed at one, time. "The grain can be fed In hoppers, I morning or evening,, in amounts that j the oirds can clean up. "readily, or i fed Ip a litter of straw that shnufd he changed occasionally as a sanitary precaution. “Green feed is a very Important jflirl of the chick’s diet. When a green range, tawn clippings, alfalfa, lettuce or otfier greens are not available, .5 I to 10 pounds of alfalfa-leaf meal should be added to each 100 pounds'of the above mQsh mixture." ; Rotation of Hen Yard , Has Many Advantages Divide the poultry range in two, suggests the poultry department at 'the Ohio State university, and rotate the flock with green crops. If the flock is permitted to coyer the entire range all the time they will soon kill all the vegetation around the poultry house. This will make it necessary to provide green feed from another source and at greater expense. The yard will alsp become unsanitary and often a sea of mud after a hard rain. Early fall sown rye provides an ideaL/fali supply of green feed for podfrry. Rape, sown in early summer, will provide succulence in the ration a large part of the summer? It can be pastured as soon as it is three or four inches high. Half the yard Is given to range and pasture for the flock while the other half is in, preparation for another crop. A woven ’wire fence five feet high will serve to 4 keep the chickens off the growing crop on the range. The feuce should be staked well at the bottom, for usually more chickens go under fences than over then*; Hen That Molts Early Not a Good Producer Contrary to the opinion’ of some poultry men, the ben that molts early usually does not begin laying again early in the winter, says F. E. Andrews of,the.New Y’.-rk State <’<>llege of Agriculture In fact, the early molters usually require more time' to renew their feathers than the late foolters. The early molting also indicates a lack of high production ahilfty. 4 If the egg production goes down ‘ slowly add a few hens start molting » I each week It Is a safe practice,to cull • those individuals. However. If a,large i percentage of the flock suddenly stops ! laying and begins to molt, it is best i to check on the management of the ■ flock, and would not necessarily mean ' thaf alt of the hens were culls, Mr. Andrews advises.
