leaves the State, or quits gainful
work, to collect the greatest part of
his contributions to the pension fund.
The commission Gir i that a
contributory pension scheme seems a
possible method of dealing with the
problem of old age dependency but
sees many practical difficulties in the
way of collecting the contributions.
It is suggested that some species of
poll tax might solve the problem.
The commission believes, however,
that for the present direct assistance
from taxes will be necessary to re-
lieve the needs of those aged persons
in the direant at the present time
and until the contributory pension
fund could accumulate sufficient funds
to carry itself.
The commission urges that a study
be made of administrative problems
involved in applying a contributory
pension plan in this State. The com-
mission strongly urges the second
passage of the resclution to amend the
constitution which would be submitted
to a vote of the people in the fall of
1928 and which, if passed, would per-
mit the legislature to make appropria-
tions in behalf of the indigent aged.
The report includes more than a
hundred written opinions on the sub-
ject of old age pensions from some of
the best known industrial leaders in
this State and the country at large.
The large majority of these business
executives expressed “themselves as
recognizing the need for State or fed-
eral action to provide against old age
dependency.
The commission gives a summary
of the workings of all the old age
pension systems now in force through-
out the world and estimates that some
650,000,000 persons are now legally
protected in some manner against old
age dependency. It finds that only
the United States, China and India
are without adequate provision for
their aged. ;
In support of its constantly reiterat-
ed contention that the cost of an old
.
age pension law in Pennsylvania
would be less per pensioner than is
now spent on aged paupers through
the poor relief system, the commission
cites the experince of Montana which
for more than three years has had an
old age pension law in force, and
where the cost of a pension amounts
to only about $3 a week, while the
cost of keeping the same person in the
county poorhouse amounts to about
$15 a week. The per capita cost of
the Montana pension is but a little
more than two cents per month. It
is found that in spite of the small
average pensions paid in Montana,
the large majority of the poor prefer
a pension to poor relief and that they
are far happier and better off physi-
cally when allowed to remain with
relatives or in their old homes on a
pension,

Disease Among Deer Colonies of the
State.
Prmp—
Game Protector Watson McClarin
has been asked by J. B. Truman, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Board of
Game Commissioners, to forward the
next fawn found dead in the woods
to Dr. R. B. Stubbs, Bureau of Ani-
mal Industry at the University of
Pennsylvania.
A disease is breaking out among
the deer population of the State and
efforts are being made to check it.
The fawn sent from this locality
will be dissected to determine, if pos-
sible, the nature of the disease and
its cause and cure.
Several fawns have recently been
found dead or in a weakened condi-
tion. The majority were found in sec-
tions where spotlight hunting was
practiced last summer and fall. The
fawns, deprived of their mothers, are
unable to exist during the winter.
While hiking on the Buckhorn
Mountain Sunday, Max Hughes,
Woodrow Knight, George Best and
John Knight, of Newberry, came
across two fawns, one of which was in
no condition to care for itself.
The men carried the animal to their
car, and the Stony Gap road being
virtually impassable, they detoured by
way of Williamsport and returned to
Salladasburg to the home of Game
Protector McClarin, where the fawn
was surrendered. Mr. McClarin is
feeding and caring for the animal,
trusting it will regain its strength
sufficiently to be able to take to the
woods again after the snow is off the
ground.

total of eight counties in the State
that will be accredited. This means
that tuberculosis has been reduced in
these counties to less than one-half
of one per cent.
By September 1, 1926, testing on an
area basis progressed to a point where
all the herds in 10 counties and in 252
townships in 32 other counties had re-
cevied at least one tuberculin test.
—Where pumpkins are extensively
grown they are used for cow feed
in the winter months. Possibly they
could be kept all winter under proper
conditicns of cold storage, but they
are such a bulky food that a large
place is required to store enough of
them to last a large herd through the
winter months. They are not only
hollow inside, but their shape makes
them space consumers in storage. The
pumpkin is nearly equivalent to silage
for feed, but when we have the prob-
lem of feeding many cows, it is much
easier to build a silo than to build a
receptacle for several tons of pump-
kins. Moreover, the pumpkins must
be cold enough to prevent them from
decaying, for the air will get into any
receptacle in which they can be placed.
With silage, the temperature makes
little difference if it does not reach the
point where it freezes. In the feeding
of pumpkins about 40 pounds per day
per cow may be fed to advantage, and
with some cows the milk production
will ‘be greatly increased. With some
cows, however, the effect of feeding
pumpkins is to cause the cow to lay
on fat and decrease their milk pro-
duction.
—An abundance of exercise for the
ewes during the winter months is an
important factor in making the breed-
ing flock profitable. When given lit-
tle opportunity to get out in the open,
weak lambs, lacking thrift and vigor,
are sure to be produced. A goal to-
ward which the sheep man could prof-
itably aim, is to so plan the feeding
that his breeding stock would be
obliged to walk as much as two miles
every day. This often can be accom-
plished by scattering roughage over a
wide area when the weather is clear.
Another suggestion is to close the
barnyards from the flock during the
day, obliging the sheep to rustle for
feed in the field.
- In a few weeks the lambs will begin
to appear, and now is the time to get
ready for them, advises E. G. Godbey,
associate animal = husbandman, who
says that since sheep go through most
of the year without much attention,
there is a tendency to neglect them at
lambing time, when they really need
a little care and feed, yet every time
a ewe fails to bring a lamb or loses
a lamb the profit on that ewe is lost,
for while her wool may pay the board
bill, it will not return much profit.
One of the newest adventures in
live stock feeding at Iowa State col-
lege is the feeding of iron to pigs.
This has been fed in the form of iron
oxide to fall fattening pigs and to
spring gilts that are to be kept over.
It has been found that the iron causes
the pigs to make more rapid gains
at lower cost. The experimenters
called attention to the fact that iron
is one of the important constituents
of the red color in blood which is as-
sociated with vigor and vitality.
—That the long-horned, or Spanish
breed of cattle, once so numerous in
the Southwest, may be preserved from
complete extinction, the Forest Serv-
ice, United States Department of
Agriculture, will maintain a herd on
the Wichita National Forest in Okla-
homa, according to an announcement
made today by Col. W. B. Greeley,
chief forester. The agricultural ap-
propriation bill signed by President
Coolidge on January 17, carries an
item for their purchase and mainte-
nance.
The department has for several
years urged the necessity for a small
herd of these picturesque examples of
early pioneer life of the Southwest for
the benefit and education of futuse
generations interested in pioneer his-
tory, said Celonel Greeley.
The Wichita national forest lies
right in the heart of the range of the
old southern herds of plains buffalo,
and is a part of the region formerly
known as the Indian Territory, where
now live more than fifty thousand In-
dians. ‘
Here also grazed some of the pion-
neer herds of these long-horned cattle
when the livestock industry in the
Southwest was in its infancy.

Flour Milling in Pennsylvania Slowly Ho 4 oh 3 A DAL
Coming Back into its Own. IT 5 ASS
Harrisburg,—Flour milling in Penn- E H Cio|Y
sylvania is experiencing a return of E T HIER
prosperity. ALIA U E
Pennsylvania early became the RY S
leading State in flour milling and
more than 200 years ago mills were
grinding wheat and shipping flour to
other colonies, says George A. Stuart,
grain marketing specialist, State De-
partment of : Agriculture. In fact,
there is a mill, a short distance from
Paoli called “The Great Valley Mili,” .
which was built in 1710 and is still |
grinding wheat. It is interesting to:
know that this mill helped to alleviate
the hunger pangs of the Continental |
Army while suffering through the !
winter at Valley Forge. |
Pennsylvania mills enjoyed pros-'
perity until the great wheat fields
of the middle west were discovered.
Then the purifier followed by the sub-
stitution of steel rolls for grinding
stones, brought large mills of great
capacity into the West and Pennsyl-
vania mills, slow to make changes,
gradually gave way to the western
competition. As far back as 1900
Pennsylvania had 1742 mills grinding
flour and grist but in 1919 only 1100
of these mills were still operating and
by 1922 only 606 mills opened their
doors of business. Many of these
beautiful stone mills were turned into
apartments, residences and tea rooms.
Milling in Pennsylvania has passed
through a period of depression since
1914 and many small mills were un-
able to weather the hardships of com-
petition. However, constant effort to
produce quality flour is bringing wide-
awake mills back to prosperity, Mr.
Stuart states.

St. Patrick on American Money.
Very few people know that for a
long time copper pennies bearing the
effigy of St. Patrick circulated and
were legal tender in the land that is
now the United States of America.
At the time the Confederation of
Kilkenny levied troops and sent out
ambassadors it also coined money, and
some of the subsidiary coins found
their way into the colony of New Jer-
sey.
Mark Newby took to that colony a
as they were called, and they were
made legal tender in 1682.
Some specimens of these coins are
prserved by the Kilkenny Archaeo-
logical society. On one side of them
St. Patrick, wearing a miter and car-
rying the crozier, is represented as
holding up the “seamrog” as the em-
blem of the Trinity. On the other side
is a representation of a king playing
a harp.

Rabics Epidemic Raging in State at
Present Time.
Harrisburg, Pa., March—An ~epi-
demic of rabies is prevalent in Penn-
sylvania. Mad dogs are running at
large. Luzernez County, parts of Al-
legheny and Westmoreland Counties
are under quarantine. In the .past
vear in the State 252 persons have
been bitten by mad dogs and five have
did from hydrophobia. These facts
should convince every one that the dog
laws of the State must be enforced.
In brief the dog laws are; Every dog
more than six months of age must be
licensed, must wear a collar and tag,
must be chained or securely housed
after sundown unless accompanied by
owner. Licenses and tags can be pro-
cured direct from county treasurers or
through a justice of the peace, alder-
man, magistrate or notary public.
The license fee is $1 for male dog;
$2 for female dog. Any person vio-
lating the dog law is liable to a fine
of from $5 to $100, or 30 days in jail,
or both.
The money derived from the licen-
sing of dogs is used to pay all dam-
ages done by dogs to domestic ani-
mals and poultry; in addition it also
at present finances the Bureau of An-
imal Industry of the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Agriculture in its work
for the prevention, control and eradi-
cation of tuberculosis, hog cholera,
abortion, rabies and other transmis-
sible diseases, as well as poultry dis-
eases.
