Orient Is Largest User of Silver, U. S. Reports Washington. — The largest single annual movement of silver is across the Pacific ocean from San Francisco to the orient* the Commerce department has announced In a world survey of silver production and distribution. Silver today is mined chiefly in North and South America and is consumed principally tn. the Far East The reason for this is adherence to a silver instead of a gold standard by many oriental nations. The flow of sliver from continent to continent la affected by the existence of an Important silver market in Lobdon and. the existence of refining facilities in Germany. Mexico is the largest world producer of silver at present and exports practically all silver mined. Most of thto Is shipped through San Antonio, yi p&oo, San Francisco and Arixona

Always the millions he was able to display enabled Kreuger to purchase the secrecy of the woman who visited his secret hideaways. And yet in the years during which Kreuger flitted from country to country. from continent to continent, not one of his women companions during his lifetime gave the least public hint of associations that seldom acquired the dignity of true companionship. Ou{ of the dust and confusion >f the crash that followed Krueger’s suicide. a picture of the man has emerged. Each day the outline grows bolder, more details are filled in. The spectral figures loom against a variety of amazing background: Kreuger on a little island off Sweden for weeks at a time, surrounded by gay women, sparkling champagne, lights;* seductive music. Kreuger in a New York penthouse, or In his Paris mansion, with his women, his wine and his princely luxury. A scornfully smiling Kreuger making rubber stamps of the signatures ojf the influential men of Sweden so that he might forge their names to applications for security issues.

Not wild parties -r-lhere was nothing of the vulgarian about Kreuger. The women were cultured and refined. In his Park avenue penthouse in js’ew York and in his Paris mansion Kreuger gave similar parties.

AH the other 700-odd princes in India have the title only of “his highness.” The Nizam comes from one of the most illustrious families in India, claiming descent bn his father’s side from Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq, the first Khalifa of the Prophet Mt> liammed. and on his mother’s side from the prophet himself. The Nizam .IC one of the most romantic figures in the modern world. He is just past forty-five. He has eleven palaces in India and is reputed to keep a harem o's fifty wives.

NOT ALL ANIMALS EEVEAL INFECTION ? But Losses by Abortion Can Be Minimized. This question has been asked us: “Is it advisable to attempt to rid a herd of contagious abortion by selling every cow as soon as she aborts’”. Little or no benefit will be secured from any sueh program, because many animals that have the infection presept do not give any evidence of it and cannot be detected except by a blood est - Doctor Metzger of the New York State College of Agriculture suggests that breeders who are unable to use the blood test to eradicate the disease, can reduce their losses by the following practices: Isolate every aborting, animal. If possible have a maternity stall with a concrete floor and clean and disinfect it thoroughly. Raise all replacements on the farm except the herd sVe. Research shows ; that heifers born of an aborting dam ( have the infection at birth, but by the seventh or eighth month the infection generally leaves. After breeding, they become highly susceptible. Everything should be done to guard the bred heifer from taking the infection into her system. This means watching things not only in the barn but while on pasture. i All cows and heifers should bexpastured separately from all outside stock. | One aborting animal will often infect all bred animals in the pasture. ! For replacement's, some dairymen \ are buying four and five-year-old cows ) hoping that th(*y have had abortion. - Generally such cows are not as susI ceptible to the infection as heifers. — I American Agriculturist. , ——yl — v ,- Testing Necessary? for Keeping Check on Cows In these days of financial uneertaini ty how long would a banker last if he ;j simply accepted the deposits that were offered and cashed the checks that were drawn on his bank, without goins I to the trouble and expense of keeping a lineOu .each eustohier and entering each transaction in his records’ : It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it, but it is no more ridiculous .than for a. dairyman to say he can’t afford to test his cows simply because prices are ; down and conditions trying. The banker individualizes each account. If you, are one of his customers and you i write a check to pay the gas bill when there is 11alance in your account. '. the check uoei not pay the account and possibly you will get ip bad. In likemanner, the successful dairyman will individualize ht-Sj cow's, and ! when he is not keeping the deposits of feed and care up to standard, the cow is giutig to return the drafts marked “Insufficient FAimis;” or. if he, is doing his part up to the letter all the time, and the cow isn't .honoring the checks, then there is something wrong, and the cow herself is very apt to be in bad.---11.

Sunlight Affects Flavor A tallowy, or even a burnt flavor in j milk about which housewives in Chicago and other cities recently have j been complaining may be caused by ' nothing more than leaving the milk [exposed to light, according to P.

M BEST HOPPERS FOR THE YOUNG CHICKS Cup Flats Recommended as Suitable. '• —_ * I - Cup flats used for packing eggs ini cases make hoppers for chicks during the first/veek after they are hatched, the utfeven surface of the cup flats holding the mash and reducing the amount of vyaste, advises J. C. Taylor, ofpie New Jersey agri-, cultural expertfnent station. By using first one side of the cup flats and then the other each day their durability will be prolonged. The best results will be procured if one flat is used for each hundred chicks. Urging that small, open-box hoppers be used after the«birds are one week old, Mr. Taylor states that a very satisfactory “reel hopper” can be made at home; A trough of - box 6 inches wide, inches deep and 4 feet long is the hopper, with a reel 4 inches in diameter running Its entire length and so adjusted at each end that it can be raised and lowered to prevent the chicks from wasting the mash. If both sides of this hopper are used 100 chicks can be fed from it at a time Commercial hoppers are obtainable at a moderate cost, the size to be determined by the age of the chicks. Experienced poultrymen have found the open type most economical, for the, feeding masTi to poultry of all ages. Water fountains for the chicks should be so constructed that they may be easily cleaned a'nd not upset. The most .satisfactory fountain for the first ten days is the earthenware bell jar- with the.flower pot saucer, a type of fountain suitable for I<X> chicks. Large metal fountains should be used when the chick's are four weeks old.— Michigan Farmer. Watch Eggs Intended for Hatching Purposes Tn , keeping eggs for setting ptirposes. it should .be remembered that too high temperatures, do morpj harm than chilling. A temperature [qf 70 degrees will" start some germ developi ment. which is very harmful. It is Stated.' Thus, for best hatching* results, eggs should be kept at a temperature below 70 (legrees, and. above freezing. Eggs generally hatch better the fresh they are. but it i.s sometimes necessary to save them.as long as two weeks. Wlien egg's are saved they should be turned over once or twice daihx They should be kept Covered with a damp sack to help keep then* cool’ and prevent excessive evaporation of water from them. Heavy loss of water from eggs is a cause o’s poor hatches and weak chicks. Eggs' should - rarely be .washed, because it generally Open'S the shell pores. This allows bacteria to get through the shells and spoil the eggs. Worm Young Chickens As soon- as the baby: chick is {allowed to run on ground he is very likely to pick up worm eggs when he smarts to scratch and peck for food. For some time the presence of worm infestation is not noticeable {because the worm eggs must incubate the parasites mature before indications present themselves outwardly)Jn the chick's appearance.

Pullorum Disease . [ The accuracy of the blood test fo* pullorum disease in niature. birds has . recently been submitted to an'interOst- ) ing test, according to a recent article isl the Rural New Yorker. Blood samples were drawn from a group of birds and the poultry disease laboratories in three different states were furnished with the blood samples. Each state laboratory applied its own technique of testing. There was practically no variation in the reported findings from the three laboratories. Baby Chick Cannibals They can be checked by darkening ’ the broder house and avoiding overcrowding. Paint the winflqws blue, and cover the mustrn openings with blue cloth to dim the daylight. Three hundred chicks in a 10-by-12-foot brooder will be about right, il inch of feeder space to the chick. Piling up in corners at night can be prevented by hanging a low-burning lantern in the brooder. Emil Peroutek, Jewell couney. uses these methods. — Kansas Fanner. “ His Chicks Roost Early Poultry netting under the roosts in brooder houses serve two purposes for Ed G. Lewis. Hamilton county, Nebraska. Mr. Lewis builds roosts that slope from the floor to [one side of the house and gets his chicks started roosting as early as three weeks* old. The fine mesh poultry netting keeps the chicks out of the, droppings and makes it easy for chicks to get on the roosts without danger lof falling through the roosts to the floor.—Capper’s Farmer.
