EE A
PENNSYLVANIA HUNTING "ACCI-
DENTS MUCH LOWER DURING
SEASON OF 1924.
During the 1924 hunting season, the
Board of Game Commissioners made a
greater effort to collect more com-
plete data regarding hunting accidents
than has heretofore been attempted.
Cards containing the detailed infor-
mation desired were furnished to each
district game protector with instruc-
tions to report all hunting accidents
in his district. In addition to these
cards, information has been secured
from newspaper clippings.
A total of 38 fatal and 131 non-fa-
tal accidents were reported for the en-
tire State during the 1924 season, as
against 55 fatal and 106 non-fatal ac-
cidents during the 1923 season. One
hunter was killed in mistake for a
ground hog and one in mistake for a
deer. One person was injured in mis-
take for a ground hog, one mistaken
for a wild turkey and one for a rab-
bit. All five of those shootings were
absolutely unnecessary and avoidable.
Prosecutions will be pushed to a con-
clusion as rapidly as possible.
In spite of a State-wide educational
campaign against carelessness with
firearms waged by the Board of Game
Commissioners for a number of years,
forty per cent. of the hunting acci-
dents which occurred last year were
self-inflicted. It would be difficult to
determine just how many of the re-
maining accidents were the result of
carelessness, but it is a safe bet that
a very large majority of them were
avoidable. .
The following table shows the dif-
ferent classes into which-the hunting.
accidents last season” are. divided, the
Xind of firearms used and the loea-1- =
tions where such accidents occurred.
Sportsmen's organizations are urg-
ed to give these figures the widest
possible publicity and through their
organizations start an active educa-
tional campaign against carelessness
to reduce injuries and loss of life by
at least fifty per cent. this coming
fall. Now is the time to plan your

TWENTY .. YEARS ADDED TO
- SPAN.OF LIFE IN PAST EIGHTY
YEARS.
Twenty years have been added to
the span of Human life during the last
eighty years and. the end is not yet.
One hundred years from now man
may confidently expect to live to the
ripe age of 150 years and a few cen-
turies later he may even hope, with
some chance of his hope materializ-
ing, to be immortal.
This is a rosy picture of the future
painted by Sir Ronald Ross, famous
British scientist, who claims that the
length of human life has been increas-
ed by 50 per cent. during the last cen-
tury, largely by medical science in the
treatment and prevention of disease.
“Eighty years ago,” according to
Sir Ronald, “the average London man
lived 34 years and 7 months and the
average London woman lived 38 years
and 4 months. :
“Today the average length of life
of the London man is 53 years and 9
months and of the London woman 59
years. These are the figures I have
gleaned from the official statistics.
“That miraculous progress will not
stop. A great scientist at the Pasteur
Institute in Paris has said that in 100
years’ time man should live to the age
of 150. Why not?
“A famous American doctor has
suggested to me that we should all be
immortal. Who can tell what scien-
tific investigation may bring? No one
can say how long we may live when
we are free from the ravages of
germs.”
Sir Ronald has dedicated his life to
that work, the freeing of humanity
from the ravages of germs. The Ross
Institute at Putney, memed after him,
and designed to rival the Pasteur In-
stitute in Paris, has just begun work.
The work of the institute will be con-
fined to research, originally with trop-
ical and other diseases; but the sub-
jects of research will not be limited.
“Qur investigations must be speed-
ed up,” says Sir Ronald. “Our coun-
try must give more to medical re-
search. At present we are spending
only about $900,000 a year, which is
a penny per head of the population,
on the investigation of diseases which
are killing millions of people.
“We should spend at least $5,000,
000—that is—only six pence a head—
every year—the cost, say, of a couple
glasses of beer. If a penny per head
can add twenty years to life, what
could six pence do? The prospect is
boundless.
“We are still baffled by many dis-
eases. We have not discovered the
germs which cause smallpox, measles,
scarlet fever, and a number of tropic-
al diseases. We have not solved the
cancer problem. Even the common
cold is a mystery.
“Science, if given a chance,
conquer these ills.”

When Pig Crop is. Short Big Litters
Will Pay. :
The American pig crop is a short
one this year, according to figures
just received by county agent R. C.
Blaney, on a pig survey run by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. They show a decrease from 28
per cent. of the number of sows far-
rowing last fall in the whole county
as compared with 1923.
Sows bred to farrow this spring
were 94 per cent. of the number that
actually farrowed in the spring of
1924. Hog production, according to
this same report, promises to be small-
er this year than in any year of the
last ten. :
With conditions of the hog industry
such as those quoted, it will be partic-
ularly timely and profitable to save a
good sized litter. The following five
points in the care and management of
the sow and her litter are very im-
portant. Clean out the farrowing
pen, Wash pen thoroughly with boil-
ing water and lye and put in fresh
bedding. Wash the sow, particularly
her udder, with warm water and soap.
Carry (do not drive) pigs to fresh
pasture when two weeks of age. Have
fences tight so -that pigs cannot get
back to old hog lots.
That such a system of sanitation is
very valuable was brought out in the
results of a questionnaire sent to over
a thousand farmers in one of the corn
belt States last year. Where this sys-
tem was followed an average of eight
pigs per litter were raised. Where it
was not followed, an average of less
than_five, pigs.per litter raised, This
indicate$ that one er two hours spent
in cleaning the pen, washing the sow
and caring for the litfer in a sanitary
manner-was wo¥th about three and a
half pigs: “At preset price of
dollars to the owner. Two hours spent
in cleaning up is therefore worth
$15.00 to the owner.
Department of ‘Forests to Co-operate
With Railroad for Safety.
An experiment to have trees assist
in preventing forest fires while at the
same time add beauty and furnish
timber, is to be tried in Tioga county.
Co-operating with the New York
Central Railroad, the Department of
Forests and Waters is to plant 9,600
pine trees at the famous Johnson
bend, in Pine Creek Gorge.
Due "to the heavy grade at this
curve, it is a constant danger point,
one which both the railrad and the de-
partment wish to eliminate.
In foreign countries, pines are
planted along the railroads, the re-
sult being that in a few years the
dense screen afforded by the trees
catches escaping sparks which slowly
ih the ground, safe, thus causing
n
o fire.
This is the first experiment of this
kind known to be tried in this country
and it is hoped every one will try to
give this area a little extra care for a
few years.
