But, digging deeper into the political picture, it is found that Mr. Roosevelt has placed these powerful insurgents under definite obligations more for their support of Administration matters particularly when the White House espouses liberal or radical measures which conservative Democrats could not support. The discomfiture of regular Democratic aspirants brings no consolation to the Republicans. The allegiance of the radical wing of the Republican party to the Chief Executive in gratitude for his assistance in re-election campaigns is calculated to widen the gap be- Carey Electric Shop, globes and labor ^ ^ 71:00 Perfection Legal Blank" Co., blanks ..............

DOHERTY, Mayor V " PETER A. NEISS, City clerE .Records from dairy herd Improvement associations show that grain fed to good cows makes; money for the dairyman. , ~ , Tlie average annual yield of milk for dairy cows in Xew York Is 5,500 pquiida of milk. A group of. cows jvith less than the averaze production, or 5,261 pounds of milk, was fed on an average $20 worth of-grain, and $35 w6rtb of hay, silage, and pasture, or $55 In all for feed. The average rethan all costs of feed, the transaction assuring the dairyman a , substantial profit on his investment In a group with an average production of 5,500 pounds of milk, the value of the milk was $1(58. The total feed cost was $71, made up of $30 for grain, and $41 for roughage, and the net return was $95. ^ A group which produced, on an averworth of grain and $44 worth of roughage, produced a gross return of $213 against a feed cost of $94, or a net return of $119. Similarly, two other groups, producing about twice the state average in pounds of milk, or 10,254 pounds and 11,937 pounds respectively, were fed $85 and $99 worth of grain, and $42 and $46 worth of roughage, with total feed costs of $127 and $145 as compared with milk values of $280 and $339. each, and set returns of $153 and $1&4. 7 tween the regular G. O- P. Senators and those they cdnsidei* their "erring brothers." When those haying an ear to the groufitl to detect under-surfaee movements talk today; they say--new faces and newr ideas will crop out in the National Recovery Administration sometime this fall, probabfy September; that the major reciprocal tariff -Agreements will be kept on ice until the elections because European political and economical conditions do not warrant special treaties; that the Re~ publicans are going to the manufacturing interests and certain farm groups to preach the need for the protective tariff principles; that there! is not much chance of an extra session of Congress owing to the fact that the Administration has plenty of power to deal with?.emergencies; that Mr. Roosevelt continues Jto plague the public utilities and other interests but is privately leaning toward a more conservative point of view in relation to the government's intrusion in fields of private enterprise; that housecleaning will be required in certain regional offices of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation to obtain^action and soften complaints about political appointees loafing on the job and slowing recovery plans. With General Hugh Johnson definitely ready to retire to private business, tongues are wagging here as to the future of Miss Frances Robinson, his executive assistant at N.R.A. No bureaucrat with, power to enforce his whims has ever played such a highhanded game as laid at "Bobbie's" doorstep. Fresh from a $25 per week stenographic job, Miss Robinson skyrocketed to power at N.R.A. Her personality has developed more enemities in a ygar than she could have deliberately cultivated in a life-time. National leaders of industry and labor alike have left conferences at N.R.A. freely commenting on her ill-mannered conduct. A carefully staged pub- J licity build-up was given this young woman with no less personage than the ' First Lady providing the background. Down at. N.R.A. they say that it was unavailing for fashionable dressmakers could not alter the personality which is unfortunate. A nation-wide attempt to sell homeowners on the idea of modernization will be made by the Federal Housing Administration this week. All available avenue? of~publicity will be explored in order to make the people conscious of the opportunities at hand. One, of the chief obstacles the new government agenCy must overcome is the indifference of the banks: T^> this end, the Housing Administration has issued an elaborate explanation of the whys and wherefores for the' education of the stubborn-minded banking fraternity who are already holding the bag on bad loans. Acids in Silage Found : Not Harmful to Cows Claims are frequently made by some groups opposing the use of sHage that this feed is harmful to cows because of the acid it contains. No evidence to this effer' was found in a calrefully controlled experiment conducted by A. E. Perkins and C. F. Monroe of the dairy department at the Ohio experiment station, Wooster. » ^ Fqur groups of cows were variously, fed with two types of rations. One type contained liberal amount's of silage, supplying in some instances nearly one and one-half pounds of the silage acids daily; In the other type the silage was replaced by a five to one mixture of dried beet pulp with, molasses, soaked with two and onehalf times its weight of water. The latter ration supplied a slightly greater amount of digestible nutrients than did the silage, ration but it contained no acids. Chemical analysis conducted on the urine of the cows in both groups showed only slight differences in composition. There \vas no indication of an accumulation of acid or an excessive loss of minerals when as much as 50 pounds of silage p£ir day was fed to the animals. Profits From "Culling" A certain amount of herd culling would increase the actual profits on maqy farms. Here is an illustration from a western herd. In February a farmer started to weigh the mil. from each cow iu his herd an>i hare it-tested for jutterfat. Also he kept track of his feed costs. The- aero returned $27.48 above foed cost*. This was only $1.38 for each of his 18 cows, 16 of them In milk. The first o. March he sold 8 of these cows to th^ butcher.. The remaining 10 cows, one of which was dry, returned $r9.14 above feed costs or $5.92 for each cow. Removing 8 cows more than doubled the ret- above feed cost for the herd, to say nothing of labor saved. It would rhot always be safe to base dairy culling on one month's perfor - .a.-ce unless that one : merely verified observations already made. A yeat's records would be safely accurate and would pot represent any great time expenditure either. - you reaji- it in THE . PLAINDEALER..

Cleanliness means a clean cow, clean utensils and a clean dairyman. This does not mean a great deal of extra expense or fancy equipment. r. The next greatest essential ,In clean milk is to cool it quickly enough. Milk should be brought to 50 degrees Fahrenheit or lower within an hour after it Is produced. The milk tank seems to be the most satisfactory and cheapest method of cooling milk on the, average dairy farm. Clean milk can be produced with a milking machine as readily as by hand providing proper, sanitary measures are observed. Kansas City.--On a burfted and blackened volcanic island that rises -precipitously from the sea nearly 600 miles west of the South American re5 public of Eucador Is gathered an .astonishing assortment of queer human beings, says the Kansas City Times, An account of the lives of these persons on lonely Charles island furnishes an includible, almost unbelievable, story. Weird stories of strange happenings on the bleak, lava-strewn bit of land that once was a convict settlement have been filtering into civilized haunts of man. Captains and crews of small trading vessels which put In at the island have told outlandish yarns of the inhabitants and their modes of living. So disturbing were the accounts that the government of Ecuador, sent, officials to the isolated point of land to investigate. The Inhabitants of the island were questioned and their methods of living were inquired Into. Then an official report of the investigation was filed with the: Ecuadorean govern-; ment and authentic information about the island was made available. And, surprising thing, the report substantiates the fantastic accounts that have been coming from the island! Cast of Characters. This barren, jagged, rocky island whose shores are washed by the equa-. torial waters of the Pacific has nine Inhabitants. The cast of characters: Frederlch Rltter, of Berlin, eminent German physician, dentist and philosopher, who left a briHlant career in Germany to seek a i^Qdejr^r on jthe Pacific Island. His mate, Frau Dore Strauch Koerweln, who went to the island with him from her German home. She and Ritter forsook civilization to live a life of peace, which, they charged,.modern civilization denied them. Baroness Bousequet de Wagner, of Vienna, who went to the island after Rltter and his helpmate. Soon after her arrival^she set herself up as "empress" of the Isle and governs her "kingdom" clad usually only in abbreviated pink silk panties and armed with a .22-caliber pistol, Fhllipson, Alonzo and Arends, men companions of the "empress" who came to the island with her. A German couple, names unknown, and their Infant child, born soon after their arrival on the desert Island. Hitter and Frau Koerwien were the first inhabitants of the isle. They landed there with a pick and shovel and a bag of seeds *and perhaps a score of books, among them a volume of Lao-tse, the ancient Chinese mystic. Ritter refused an offer of a professorship at Freiburg, and left behind a brillia'nt career as an experimenter in nutrition when he left Germany seeking a lonely spot to "live his own life." He and hiS woman companion landed on the island In 1929 and have lived there since. Will Not Touch Meat. They are vegetarians and will not touch the fish, turtle eggs, wild pig, birds, wild goats, or other meat which is abundant on the island*. -Fruits, vegetables, nuts and occasionally a little chicken forms their only food. Everything they partake is mashed into a pulp before it enters their mouths. A dentist, Ritter, has extracted all his teeth and those of Frau Koerwein. It is one of the theories that teeth are a cause of shortened lives. With their teeth out, he believes he and his- companion may attain ages of at least one hundred1"- and eight years. However, to assist them in their mastication, he has made sets of rubber teeth which they slip into their mouths at meal times. The two food enthusiasts live either in a one-rooin shack built of rough timber or in a faded tent near a spring. Their homes are remote and accessible only by climbing a stony path which winds up a steep, mountainous way. At the foot of the path is a bell with a sign instructing chance visitors to ring it before they approach "The Hermitage," which is the title they have given their home. The signal Is to warn the two exiles, as, when they are alone they wear no clothing. It Is only when visitors appear--which happens on the average of from six to eighteen month's--that they don a bit of covering. At other times they go absolutely naked. THIN, DROOPY HENS ' -- EFFECTED BY LICE Nicotine Sulfate Said to Be Effective Remedy. > -- By Ik iff. Hurd, New York State Collet* of Agriculture.--WNU Service. Hens that become thin, droopy and nnthrlfty looking should be examined for lice. If present, the lice can be seen scurrying In all directions when the feathers are pushed back, . Hens cannot do their best when affected with lice or when they suffer with mites that suck their blooJ at night. The use of nicotine sulfate for lice and oil, sprays or coal tar preparations for mites, may solv& the problems, /Mites do not as a rule stay on the hens, but are occasionally found on Individual hens. They attack them at night, suck their blood, and stay in the cracks and crevices of the roosts during the day. Mites ate grttyish la color until they become gorged, with blood and become red. One 6f the most common treatments for lice is nicotine sulfate. Paint a small amount on the roost poles about thirty minutes before the hens go to roost. The cost of nicotine sulfate prohibits wide use for mites. To destroy mites, spray, the roost poles, nesjts, and dropping boards with carbollneum, creosote, a mixture of kerosene and old motor , oil, or, any of the coal tar preparations. Worming Pullets Should Have Careful Attention Pullets that" show signs of being wormy should, be treated for worms before they, start to lay, declares G. W. Knox, Jr., extension poultryman, University of Arkansas college of agriculture;- Wormy pullets, are usually pale, light In weight, and have an unkept appearance. If a few of the worst birds are killed and the Intestines split open, the worms, if present, can easily be found. Tapeworms are flat and segmented, while roundworms are wire like and about two inches long. The treaffirtfnt for roundworms and tapeworms differ. 'Kamala Is the common treatment for tapeworms and can be bought in capsule form. Nicotine is the common treatment for roundworms. It can be bought In capsuie form or can be given in the mash In the form of tobacco dust, using two pounds of this material to each 100 pounds of feed. To be effective, tobaeco dust should contain at least 1% per cent nicotine. , j Worming pullets before production starts will ijuard against fall slump in production. - ' - ^ Feeding Milk Many farmers have irregular supplies of surplus milk which they could use to advantage for their poultry but do not because In doing so In the past the effect has been unfavorable. There are two ways In which irregular supplies of milk can usually be given without any disturbing effects. Give it as a drink, at the same time keeping the usual water supply before the hens. Let it stand until the whey and the curd separate; then mix the curd with mill stuffs to make ra moist mash. Make this as stiff as you can mix it with a spade in a mixing trough. Feed at one time only what the hens or chickens will eat up clean. Do not mix meat scraps or meal with this, except perhaps 1 per cent to season the mess. Mrs. John P.
