Some Practical Suggestions Well
Worth Knowing From the De-
partment of Agriculture.
FACTS FOR DAILY USE
TO PLACE SHEEP ON SHARES
WITH THE FARMERS.
Five hundred or more Pennsylvan-
ia farmers are to be started in lhe
sheep raising business through a
movement which has been brought
about by bankers and manufactures
of the State acting in conjunction
with Secretary of Agriculture Charies
BE. Patton.
Tre aim of the business men and
the Pennsylvania Department of Ag:
riculture is to increase the number of
sheep, to provide for the production
of more wool and to help fhe meat
situation of the State. The movement
contemplates the puypéhase of ewes
outside the State amd the placing of
them in the hang$ of farmers who are
competent and’ willing to take them
under the plans formulated by Sec-
retary Patton.
It is proposed to place with each
farmer ten thrifty ewes and to give
him for the proper feeding, watering
and care, all the wool and one-half
the lambs produced by the sheepg |
The idea is to have a number of;
farmers in a community go into the'
scheme so that a carload of sheep can
0 a central point and the
be supplied frem that
be shi;
communi y can
ssi n. Ths will serve to keep the
con 1s Tow as posssible. The ewes,
bought outside the S.ate, will ba
carelu.ly e. amined, before being plac-
€d zn te farm, by vslerinarians of
the State I.ivestock Sanitary Board
and will be healthy and free from all
disease.
The movement
mu ate the s!eep indusiry
is expected to sti-
in Penn
syivania and io denonstrote to the
farmers that the sheep business is
profitable, Nat since the Civil War has
the price of wool or of mutton and
lamb been as high as at the present
time. ihe
A flock of sheep will be placed on
the State farm in Delaware county for
evpcriment purposes on disease to
which they are subject and as to the
best methods of raising, The infor-
mation obtained by the State experts
will be given from time to time to the
people of the State interested in the
sheep industry.
THE STATE CROP
PEST INSPECTION
he State Cichard Tu. p>» ‘tors have
Leen given special instruc inn: by
Zoologist H. A. Surface, in regard io
inspection for crop pests ard the sup
pression of pests of all kinds of farm
crop. They have been authorized by
«Secretary of Agriculture Charlies E.
Patton to inspect farm crops of vari-
* ous kinds as well as orchards, but al-
so those of truck crops, gardens and
farm crops. The official title of the
inspectors under the Bureau of Zool-
ogy now becomes ‘“Orchardist and
Crop Pest Inspector.”
These men have airealy given good
service in aiding to suppress such
pests as the Armv Worm and Tent-
caterpillar, and have recently turned
their attention toward the cut worm
and the white grub infestation, for
which the chief work must be done in
the fall, rather than in the spring.
The tate Orchardists and Crop
Pes‘ Inspectors are now engaged in
travelling from one township to an-
other systematically throughout the
State of Pennsylvania, giving service
in the inspection of crops and sup-
pression of pests, and the work that
must be done for the production of
better fruits. It will take many months
to cover the State in this manner, but
the service is giving most excellent
results, 2nd will prove gratifying ‘to
all persons concerned. Announcements
will be made in papers and otherwise
as to when and where the Orchardist
and Crop Pest Inspector will be tem-
porarily located, in order that persons
in the township which he temp~rarily
visits may communicate with him at
once ‘and have him see their premises
when needed.

through the town shortly before moon

Coming down the Lincoln Highway at
a speed of 60 or 70 miles an hour, the
car got beyond the control of the
chauffer on a sharp curve and went
over the side of the road. A telephone
pole eight inches in diameter and a
locust tree six inches in diametes
were cut og by the heavy machine
before it overturned.
The three occupants, the chauffer
and two United States Army men,
were saved from injury by the strong

PLANS OF RAILROADS
The special committee of the Amer-
an exhaustive study of accidents a:
grade crossings, was authorized, at a
recent meeting held in New York, to
of Railroad Commissioners in recom-
mending standards to be followed by
all railroads in protelting grade cross-
ings and to co-operate with the rail-
road commissions in securing legisla-
piiance with the standards.
The association adopted five speci-
fic practices which will be recommen-
ded for adoption by public service
commissions, and other properly con- |
stituted authorities. These standards’
cover:
Uniform approach warning signs;
| uniform color of light for night indi-
‘cation; uniform use of a circular disc,
|approximating 16 inches in diameter,
with the word “Stop” painted there- |
on in large letters, instead of the var-
‘icolored flags which are now in use
{by crossing watchmen or firemen; un-
iiform painting of crossing gates alter-
|nate diagonal stripes of black and
I white (somewhat like a barber’s pole)
uniform rules governing crossing
watchmen or flagmen while controling
or regulating street or highway traffic.
The report of the special committ-
lee stated that accidents at crossings
‘have increased 1,000 per cent. in the
‘last five years in some parts of the
| country. This has been due largely to
Hi increased use of the automobile.
{It is with the view of standardizing
|the crossing signals throughout the
| country in order that automobile driv-
ers might have ample warning when
approaching a crossing that the as-
i sociation has taken this step to make
‘all warnings similar in every state.
i The circular dise with the work “stop”
|in large letters with a contrasting
| background to make it stand out in
bold relief will eliminate the com-
| plant that flags which are now gen-
{erally used do not give the drivers
‘sufficient clear indication whether the
flagmen is urging them across or try-
|ing to stop them. This disc will be
held up in the middle ef the highway
to warn vehicular and pedestrian
traffic.
The “caution approach” sign will
serve to remind drivers that there is
a railway crossing 400 or 500 feet
ahead. At night the same color light
will be used at all crossings so that
there may be no misunderstanding as
to the meaning of such signals.

WHY not give your lad

the same training?
“When I was a growing lad, and came
upon many words in’ my reading that
1 did not understand, my mother, in-
stead of giving me the definition when
1 applied to her, uniformly sent me to
the dictionary to'learn it, and in this
way I gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in question—among other things,
how to use a dictionary, and the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
Afterwards, when I went to the village
school, my chief diversion, after les.
sons were learned and before they
were recited, was in turning over the E
pages of the ‘Unabridged” of those
days. Now the most modern Una-
bridged—the NEW INTERNATIONAL~
gives me a pleasure of the same sorts
So far as my knowledge extends, it is
at present the best of the one-volume
dictionaries, and quite sufficient for
all ordinary uses. Even those who
possess the splendid. dictionaries in
several volumes will yet find it a great
convenience to have this, which is so
compact, so full, and so trustworthy
as to leave, in most cases, little to be
desired.” Albext S. Cook, Ph.D.,LL.D.,
