FARM NOTES.
—The earlier the plowing for
wheat, the better the crop.
—Cows consuming bulky rations
of hay, ensilage and ground feeds,
will drink very often if water is
before them,
—If there is any stinking smu
in your neighborhood it will be ad-
visable to treat your seed wheat.
Use two and one-half ounces of
copper carbonate dust for each
bushel.
. —There is every reason for turn-
ing under the garden refuse if you
are sure that itis free from fungus
and insect pests that would be in-
creased by failure to burn this ma-
terial.
—Dogs and cats are attackedby
no fewer than 475 species of insect
parasites, more than afflict any
other animals.
—With the beginning of the new
year, a resolution that will pay
well, is the decision to keep cost
accounts on the major farm opera-
tions.
—Owners of white pine trees
should learn to identify white pine
blister rust and to realize that it
spreads through currant and goose-
berry bushes,
— Trees where poultry roosts soon
become infested with mites, which
can’t be eradicated as easily as from
a shelter.
—In handling the farm gardens
it is probably just as well to burn
all the crop residues, rather than to
turn them under,
—If ringworm starts, isolate af-
fected calves and cleanse, disinfect
and whitewash the pen and fixtures.
Treat the spot by saturating with
sweet oil daily until the crusts can
be removed wihout drawing blood.
— Live stock abortion diseases
cause losses amounting to more
than $50000,000 annually in the
United States.
—If a sash or other plant house
is to be built or the old ones need
repairs, the job will be easier now
than later. It is also well to get
the hotbeds and the cold frames
ready for use,
—Green feed added to the ration
will aid in keeping the hens in pro-
duction. Be sure that there areno
mites in the poultry house, and
make it as comfortable as possible
in every way.
—One advantage of the self-feed-
er is that it will probably save
some labor, but the amount of la-
bor saved depends somewhat on the
size and type of the feeder. A small
feeder requires frequent filling, and
practically all feeders require consid-
erable attention to see that the
feed is feeding down properly. Fre-
quent attention should be given to
see that feed is not being nosed out
and wasted and that if the feeds
are in separate compartments, the
hogs are not eating too much of the
protein feeds and not enough of the
others or vice versa. :
—Chicken pox has been reported
in many flocks this fall, This dis-
ease usually appears in the poultry
flock in the late fall and early win-
ter months. It may be recognized by
small raised wart-like nodules on
the unfeathered parts of they bird's
heads, Often this disease is ac-
companied by colds and roup. Flocks
affected with chicken pox drop in
egg production but, unless accom-
panied by colds and roup, the mor-
tality usually does not exceed five
per cent,
Chicken pox is very contageous”
“so precautions should be taken
against introducing the disease into
the flock. All newly purchased
birds should be held in quarantine
for at least two weeks.”
If the disease is noticed in the
flock the afflicted birds should be
given epsom salts, immediately, at
the rate of 1lb. to 400 lbs, of poul-
try or 100 mature birds. The treat-
ment may be given in the drinking
water or in a wet mash.
Feeding 1 pint of cod liver oil to
every 100 lbs, of mash. It may al-
go be fed in a wet mash or with
scratch grain, The grain should be
fed in troughs to prevent the oil-
soaked grain from picking up filth
on the floor.
Isolation is recommended when
only a few birds show lesions of
the disease. Individual treatmént
consists of painting the nodules with
iodine mercurochrome or car-
bolated vaseline.
Since food consumption usually
drops when the flock is affected
with this disease, it can be encour-
aged by feeding a wet mash. The
use of the following formula in the
drinking water will also help to
stimulate the bird's appetites. Dis-
solve 215 lbs. of sulphate of
crystals in one gallon of boiling wa-
ter. When cool, add 5 ounces of
sulphuric acid. Use this material
at the rate of 1 cupful to 3 gallons
of drinking water. Use only wooden
or non-metal fountains for watering
when this material is used.
—Planted seeds must have air
in order to sprout— which means
don’t cover ’em too deep. About
twice the thickness of the seeds is |
the right depth.

GREAT ADVANCE IN
ELECTRICITY IN ’29
Television for homes and theatres
is just around the corner, and will
make great strides in 1930, electri-
cal experts confidentially predict.
“In the past year, the outstanding
electrical development of interest to
all of us was the television radio set
developed for home use by Dr. Vladi-
mir Zworykin of the Westinghouse
Research Department,” said F. M.
McCausland of that company.
“The new system of television per-
mits wirelessed pictures to be viewed
by a roomfull of spectators rather
than by one or two, which has been
the rule up to this time.”
A tremendous increase in the pro-
duction of electrical equipment dur-
ing 1929 is noted by John Liston in
a survey of General Electric activi-
ties.
Perfecting of a radio altimeter,
magneto compass, and safety lights
for airplane landing fields were em-
phasized by Liston as among the
valuable electrical achievements of
the years.
“More than 20 per cent. of the to-
tal income received was for electri-
cal apparatus which a decade ago
was either unknown or of negligible
commercial importance,” he said.
The electrification of railways pro-
ceeded at an unprecedented rate. A
third large passenger ship, with elec-
tric propulsion, was completed, and
similar propelling equipment for oth-
er liners is being made. Two record
size turbine generators, one furnish-
ing 208,000 kilowatts, were placed in-
to service,
The “electric eye” is mentioned in
the report of both companies. This
photo-electric cell “acts with super-
human accuracy and dependability in
such functions as detecting and in-
stantaneously extinguishing fires,
counting people or passing objects of
any size, automatically sorting ma-
terials according to colors or imper-
fections, or providing safety against
explosions in gas and oil furnaces.”
It is being used in the new Hol-
land Tunnel in New York not only
to count the number of automobiles
which pass, but also to warn a sup-
ervisor when the exhaust gases of
cars become so thick as to be dan-
gerous. The cell acts when gases
darken the chamber in which it is
placed. ;
A device to reduce the number of
automobiles parked on the streets,
which creates serious traffic prob- |.
lems in cities like New York, Lon-
don and Buenos Aires, the automa-
tic parking machine.
This machine would permit the
‘motofist to drive his car onto a plat-
form, pull a lever and obtain a
ready to run when it is needed
again.

“In large cities, much rush hour
traffic now consists of empty cars
enroute to busy corners to pick up
loads,” said McClausland. “With this
device street cars could as well as
autos be parked at strategic centers
for use when wanted during rush
hours.”
Another contribution made to avi-
ation during 1929 is the device by |
which an aviator wishing to land at i
night, by sounding a siren when he
approaches an airfield, may cause
the landing lights of the port to
switch on automatically, permitting
him to descend without danger.
Radio-telephony, not covered by
either of the foregoing surveys dur-
ing 1929 that those connected with
it expect to see all the major Amer-
ican capitals talking to each other
and to Europe within a year. A
telephone cable between Europe and
America is also being considered.
Stations to permit commercial tele-
phoning between the land and ships
anywhere in the North Atlantic have
been completed and tests of this
service were started early this
month,
Transmission of still photographs
by wire and radio, in commercial use
more than two years, has been ex-
tended and perfected, Radio men
assert that within two or three
years it will be possible tc transmit
of solidly printed matter—another
great advance in communications.

Champion Hiking Cow and Son
To Attend Pennsylvania Farm Show
EARING the steel shoes
\W/ which protected her feet
for 1275 miles over the roads of
halt a dozen states, Alice, one of
the Ayrshire cows that hiked
from Brandon, Vermont, to St.
Louis, Missouri, will be on exhi-
bition at the Pennsylvania Far.n
Products Show, January 21, 24, at
Harrisburg, Pa. With Alice will
b her son that was born while his
mother was filling an engagement
at Wichita, Kansas, less than four
weeks after completing her long
hike.
By walking 1275 miles in 90
days and completin : a record dur-
ing the year of 11,022 pounds of
milk and 447 pounds of butterfat,
Alice has demonstrated that the
modern pure bred dairy cow is
just as hardy as the original native
cattle that accompanied the early
settlers on their western migra-
tions.” Like her early cousins
Alice depended on roadside grasses
for food, but in »ddition had a
daily supply of grain which was
carried in a truck.
Ar average of fourteen miles
per day was made, with maximum
distances of as muc. as twenty to
twenty-five miles on several differ-
ent days. Notwithstanding the
hardships of city streets and coun-
try roads, with constant changes
in water supply, Alice finished her
journey in excellent condition, act-
ually gaining twenty pounds in
body weight.
This famous Ayrshire cow was
accompanied on her trip by anoth-
er Ayrshire cow named Tomboy,
that is now on the ‘arm of her
owner, L. B. Chapman of West
Rutland, Vermont, where she is
also making a remarkably good
record. During the walk to St.
Louis Tomboy produced over five
gallons of milk per day, and’
gained in body weight. Robert
Chapman and William Philipsen,
the Green Mountain boys who led
these cows, will be with them at
the Harrisburg Show.
