FARM NOTES.
— Provide a darkened shed for the
colts running in pasture. It protects
them from flies and heat and permits
greater gains in weight. .
—_Alfalfa sown now or early in Au-
gust, will be in better condition to go
through the winter. Use good, clean
seed, properly inoculated, for best re-
sults. : d 5
—Some of the early garden crop
have been harvested by this date. Re-
place these with later planting to in-
sure a succession of crops, or plant
some other crop for fall maturity.
— Rape sown in the corn rows at
the Lon cultivation, will afford fine
forage for sheep or swine whether
the corn crop is intended to be har-
vested by these animals or cut for
silo.
—Apple Scab—Apple trees are pol-
luted with this disease in many sec-
tions. If wet weather continues to
prevail, it will be advisable to work in
an extra spray in order to prevent
late infection of the fruit.
— Turn horses out on grass for an
hour after the day’s work is over. It
gives them a chance to cool off before
going to the barn for the night. The
grass acts as a conditioner, and also
sharpens the appetite for the evening
feed.
—_The cold frames and hot beds that
have been standing idle this summer
should be put in order and planted to
crops during August for late fall and
early winter consumption. The salad
crops and radishes are the easiest
grown.
_—An early prepared seed bed gives
wheat a good start and increases the
possibility: of a good stand. Begin
plowing the field now or as soon as
possible after this season’s crop has
been taken off. See that the bed is
well compacted.
—For the proper sterilization of
dairy utensils an abundance of steam
or hot water is needed. Immerse
them in boiling water for two min-
utes, or put them in a tight closet and
thoroughly sterilize with steam for
thirty minutes.
—Feeding must precede culling in
the management of the farm flock.
Many a hen, particularly on the gen-
eral farm, fills the description of a
cull purely and simply because the
owner makes her that way through
the lack of proper food.
—Frequent inspection of dairy cat-
tle on pasture should be made, espe-
cially those which have been bred. All
animals showing signs of calving
should be removed to the stable or iso-
lated in another field to avoid the pos-
sibility of contamination in case of
abortion.
—Cut worms or army worms are
unusually serious this year, especially
in northwestern counties. Poison bait
is used to good effect on field crops or
lawns that are heavily attacked. The
formula for this bait and its prepara-
tion may be obtained from the county
Farm Bureau office.
—Cull the pullets closely during
the summer months. Sell for broilers
all those individuals that lack proper
development. Birds showing soiled,
ruffled plumage, very long legs and
shallow breasts also belong in this
poor class. You can well afford to
dispose of ten to thirty per cent. of
them each year before they are put in
their laying quarters.
. —During the last few years great
interest has been created in Pennsyl-
vania in hog raisig and quite a num-
ber of excellent breeding animals
have been brought into the State. One
of the limiting factors in hog breed-
ing is hog cholera. The Bureau of
Animal Industry aims to control and
eradicate hog cholera in the State by
regulations, quarantines, sanitary
measures and the use of serum and
virus. Prior to the serum treatment,
which came into use in 1910 from 95
tc 98 per cent. of the hogs in herds
where hog cholera occurred died.
Since January 1, 1921, there have been
vaccinated 48,130 hogs on 768 prem-
ises. On 548 of these premises to
8,200 hogs the single serum treatment
[has been administered with a mortali-
ty of approximately 20 per cent. On
220 premises comprising 39,930 hogs
the double treatment was administer-
ed with a mortality of approximately
2 per cent. By comparing the single
and double treatment it is readily ob-
served that the double treatment is
more efficient.
—It is conservatively estimated
that the residents of Yer n
suffer a loss of more than a million
dollars annually from the ravages cf
moth and other destructive insects
that attack clothing and house fur-
nishings that are stored during the
summer months. The Bureau of Plant
Industry of the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Agriculture announces that
practically this entire loss can be
eliminated, if certain simple rules are
observed.
Clothing or furnishings which are
to be stored, should be placed in the
bright sunshine for an entire day, if
possible. The article should then be
thoroughly brushed. Tight containers
for the articles should be secured. Pa-
per bags which may be tightly closed,
boxes or chests may be used as long as
they can be made airtight.
After the articles are placed in the
container they should be fumigated
to kill all moth in the larva stage.
Carbon bisulphide used at the rate of
one pound to each 1,000 cubic feet, or
carbontetra chloride used in the same
proportions are satisfactory. Para-
dichlorobenzene at the rate of one
pound to 1,000 cubic feet is also effec-
tive. In using corbon bisulphide be
sure to keep all lights away as the
gas is inflammable.
Paradichlorobenzene, which comes
in crystal form is a convenient method
of fumigation. The pure crystals
should be placed in an open dish on
the top layer of the clothing or other
material in the container. The con-
tainer should then be sealed and made
air tight: Keep the containers where
the temperature will be 70 or more.
| PREVENTION IS BEST METHOD
Wise Old Persian Had Right Idea Cen.
cerning Disease, Long Before
Birth of Christ.
Five hundred years before the birth
of Christ a wise old Persian father
advised his son, Cyrus the Great,
that the thing to do is to have phy-
sicians prevent disease; in modern
language, keep two jumps ahead. So
the idea that there should be all-time
health officers to prevent disease is
not a thing to be looked on as an in-
novation.
More than twenty-five centuries ago,
a conversation like the following took
place between Cyrus and his father:
“I have heard and seen that those
states which seek for good health
educate their physicians, and that
commanders take with them phy-
sicians for the sake of the soldiers,”
said Cyrus. “I, too, therefore, as soon
as my present ‘expeditions were in-
trusted to me, gave my attention to
the subject and thought that I had
with me very competent physicians.”
To which his father replied: “But
these physicians, my son, of which
thou speakest, are like menders of
torn garments, and thus, they cure
those who have fallen sick. Thy chief
anxiety should be to provide for
health, for thou oughtest to take care
to prevent the armv from falling inte
sickness at all.”
HONOR GOES TO VERMONTER
Thaddeus Fairbanks of that State
Made First Weighing Machine
in the Year 1831.
a
The origin of weighing things dates
back so far that the name of the in-
ventor is unknown, observes the
Brooklyn Eagle. When a man reached
the stage .in civilization where he
ceased to depend upon his own efforts
for his livelihood and began trading
with his fellows he was confronted
with the need of weighing things in
order to determine the actual weight
of whatever he traded in.
The trade of the world developed by
leaps and bounds over hundreds of
years, but we did not have scales until
about 1831, when Thaddeus Fairbanks
of Vermont made and patented the
first one. Before that time weighing
of heavy loads was done by a crude
method. When weighing a load of hay
the wagon with the hay was sus
pended on a huge steelyard, originally
fashioned during the days of ancient
Rome. IFairbanks’ first scale was in
its essential principles the same as
are the scales of today, and its suc-
cess quickly spread over the world.
Orders poured in from every direction,
for his scales were not only more con-
venient than the old method of hoist-
ing the object to be weighed on a
steelyard but they were also more ac-
curate. With the steelyard, the actual
weight might be ascertained within
fifty pounds, whereas today, on scales
capable of weighing 300,000 pounds,
the weight can be determined within
the smallest fraction of an ounce.
Antiquity of Anesthetics.
The artificial induction of painless-
ness by narcotic draughts was tra-
ditionally known in ancient times,
writes Dr. Charles Ballance in the
London Lancet. The Chinese were ac-
quainted with general anesthesia thou-
sands of years ago. It is related of
the surgeon Hoatho in the Third cen-
tury A. D. that he performed ampu-
tation, trephining and other major op-
erations by its aid.
Doctor Browne relates two cases of
anesthesia taken from a Persian manu-
script. The first story concerns Aris-
totle and an Indian surgeon named
Sarnab. An earwig had entered the
patient's ear and attached itself to the
brain. Aristotle gave the patient a
drug so that he became unconscious
while Sarnab trephined the skull. This
was excellent treatment. It is now
well known that living foreign bodies
may produce otitis and meningitis. In
the second case the operation was
Caesarian section.
Albania’s Sacred Mountain.
In the very center of Albania towers
a great mountain, reaching a height of
more than two thousand feet and cov-
ered with snow for the greater part of
the year, which the Albanians call
Tomor.
A belief widely spread among the
Albanians has it that Tomor holds in
its flanks the temb of Jupiter—al-
though no one can quite establish the
exact place of the tomb—and at cer-
tain times of the year Jupiter bran-
dishes his thunderbolts and makes the
mountain resound with his impreca-
tions.
The oath, “Per Baba Tomor” (by
Father Tomor), is customary among
Christians and Mussulmans alike; and
Baba Tomor, the holy mountain of the
Albanians, is as much honored in thelr
country as was Olympus, dwelling
place of the king of the gods, among
the ancient Greeks.
ee —————————————————
The Difference.
“I speak four languages,” proudly
boasted the doorman of a hotel in
Rome to an American guest.
“Yes, four—Italian, French, English
and American.”
“But English and American are the
same,” protested the guest.
“Not at all,” replied the man, “If
an Englishman should come up now
I should talk like this: ‘O, I say,
what extenordinary shocking weather
we're having! I dare say there'll be
a bit of it ahead! But when you
came up I was just getting ready to
gay: ‘For the love o' Mike! Some
day, ain't it? Guess this is the sec-
ond floor, all right."
PEOPLE TOO SMART.
By L. A. Miller.
The forwardness of the young and
rising generation is attracting tne at-
tention of the close observer. Did it
ever occur to you that the young peo-
ple of the present day are entirely Loo
smart—too big for their clothes, as it
were? Possibly it has not struck ycu
in just that shape, yet you have, no
doubt, long since made up your mind
that there is something wrong. On
every hand are heard lamentations
over the degeneracy of the race, the
decline of manhood and the increased
devotion to fashion and its train of
follies. These lamentations come up
from the most unexpected sources..
Were they to come from the hovels of
the poor, the dens of the vicious or
the haunts of the dissolute, they would
not create so much surprise as they do
coming from the higher social circles.
Boys become men at a much earlier
age now than they did fifty years ago.
Then a young man was not considered
ready to “go with the girls,” start
business on his own account, or even
to leave home until he was “of age.”
They remained boys until they be-
came men, or with a comparatively
short period between the two states.
During this period the youth was
known as being “twixt a man and a
boy.” The boy of those days would
certainly appear very queer in this
fast and fashionable age. Yet there is
little doubt that he was fully as well
matured, physically and mentally, as
his later-day cousin. He was fresh,
"no doubt, as compared with his cous-
in, but it was that freshness the latter
Il so much needs to make him the man
he ought to be. It was the freshness
of healthful youth. The smartness
which characterizes so many boys at
present, and which makes old men of
them before their time, is largely the
result of home training.
The boy who is stuffed with the idea
that he is a “little man” is liable to
always be a little man. That may
seem strange, but it is a fact. Few
boys who are worthy of being called
“real little men” ever rise above it.
| They are like the fruit that ripens be-
i fore its time; small, defective and off
taste. The same law proverbially pre-
| vails in both cases. It would be well
| enough for the ladies to bear this in
| mind when selecting husbands, re-
{ membering that the man who matures
slowest is always sure to live longest.
| He may be less stiff, and not as sus-
| ceptible of polish as those who grow
! quickly, but it will be much easier for
‘him to adapt himself to the uneven
i lines of life. He will not be so short
in the grain, nor half so easily brok-
len. It is safer to chance it with the
man who was a boy once in his life,
{ and not always a man. The same ap-
| plies with equal force to the other sex.
, The girl who is known throughout the
neighborhood as a “little lady,” or as
being real old womanish in her ways,
will probably never be a girl. These
generally turn out to be prudish,
cranky, nervous and queer. They re-
i mind one of an orange, or an apple
! that have ripened too soon. There are
no life tints on the skin, only a sun-
YOUNG
dried surface devoid of the freshess, !
bright color and rich flavor that char-
acterizes the fruit that remains green
a longer time and ripens slowly. Per-
fection of form, vigor, health, smooth-
ness of temper and freedom from
gnarls are indications of development
in accordance with the rules and regu-
lations of nature.
If things go on as they are now the
laws relating to majority will have to
be modified in order to permit the men
to enjoy the privileges of full fledged
citizens while yet in the prime of life.
Boys of sixteen talk politics as glib-
ly now as their grandfathers did at
twenty-one, and bet on the result of
an election with an assurance that
would have caused Adam to open
his eyes in wonder and surprise.
But what would the grandmothers,
whose memories we so much revere,
say were they to see the chits of girls
who are now posing as women? They
might send them to bed with the
chickens, but the probabilities are they
would hold up their hands in horror
and wonder what the world is coming
to. How much better it would be for
the world in every respect if our girls
were not rushed into women’s dresses
and matrimony so early in life. As
it is they have no taste of freedom.
They throw off the burden of school
only to take up the responsibilities of
domestic life. The boy is too flip, al-
so, to suit the notions of the old-style
business man. He puts too much
money on his back and not enough in
bank. This is largely the fault of
home training. The boy is given pen-
nies to spend whenever he wants
them; he’ll expect dollars when he
grows up. If he has not been trained
to earn pennies and spend them ju-
diciously, he cannot do much better
with dollars.
The times are different to what they
were years ago, yet human nature re-
mains much the same. There have
been great and wonderful advances in
the matters of art, science, literature,
and even morals, still our vaunted
civilization is a good deal of a myth.
We imagine that the world is much
better than it was fifty years ago. No
doubt it is better in some, probably in
many respects. However, when we
come to carefully compare the present
with fifty years ago, there is not as
much to boast of as one might think,
except in the matter of invention and
general education. People do not en-
joy life any more now than they did
then, notwithstanding the many new
devices for saving labor. There is so
much more labor to be performed that
all the machinery now employed can
scarcely meet the increase. It is held
by many that the money-getting dis-
position of the Jews is born in them,
and is a natural and special charac-
teristic of the race. It has become a
trait, but may it not be largely due to
the fact that the children hear more
talk about business and money than
anything else? It is very seldom that
these people talk among themselves, or
to strangers, for any length of time
without referring to money or trade.
Business is the burden of their
thoughts, and the tongue but gives
expression to it. This race should be
given credit for their shrewd methods
in raking in the mazuma and accumu-
EE. rrr
lating the same—you rarely see a
Jewish pauper.

NASH SALES SO FAR THIS YEAR
EXCEED BUSINESS FOR EN-
TIRE YEAR OF 1921.
Sales of Nash cars so far this year
exceed the total passenger car sales
of the Nash Motors company for the
entire year of 1921. In the six
months’ period ending June 30, all pre-
vious records have been swept aside.
The company’s books, just closed for
the first six months of 1922, show a
volume of passenger car business far
beyond that of the largest previous
half year in the history of the Nash
Motors company.
Orders on hand for July shipments
and reports from Nash dealers
throughout the country indicate a
continuance of the heavy demand
throughout the summer months. The
factory is still behind in orders, 2 con-
dition which has prevailed since last
March. Additions to the Nash four-
cylinder car plant at Milwaukee, are
now being made; when completed they
will permit of a volume that will more
nearly supply the demand for this
car. At the same time the Nash Six
plant at Kenosha will be in a position
to increase its production to a point
commensurate with orders received.
The new building at Milwaukee is to
be 600 feet long by 100 feet and
three stories high.
“Increasing demand for Nash cars
is due primarily to the splendid value
they represent in their price field,”
said C. B. Voorhis, vice president and
director of sales. “In addition to this
and of almost equal importance to the
owner is the matter of service. Nash
dealers throughout the country, al-
most without exception, maintain a
rigid policy with respect to the serv-
ice they render owners. This fact has
become generally recognized by the
public and this with the excellence of
the Nash product, confidence of the
buyer, an established factor, is direct-
ly reflected in the factory records
which show that sales of Nash cars
so far this year, exceed our total pas-
senger car business for the entire
twelve months of 1921.”
HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
Women Need More
and Better Blood
To be strong, well, equal to de-
mands of home, society, office or shop.
It is a fact proven by thousands of
grateful letters that Hood’s Sarsapa-
rilla is remarkably beneficial to young
or older women.
The most common ailments of
women drain and weaken the system
and sometimes result in anemia, ner-
vous weakness, general break-down.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla gives the blood
