Feeding troubles are at the bottom <o( three-fourths of the troubles affecting range sheep, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Many aheepmen have failed to recognize the f®®' cause of the ailments of their flocks and have resorted to medicinal remedies and vaccination to rare and prevent sickness which in many cases wo doe to digestive troubles brought about by improper feeding conditions. Feeding Methods. Progressive sheepmen, however, are recognising the importance of feeding methods. They make the change gradually from range {feeding to lot feeding to give the sheep time to become accustomed to new feeds. Sheep are more sensitive to feed changes than other classes of live stock. A novel means adopted by one sheep feeder was to place bales of hay in the feed lot for lambs Just brought In frori the range. The lambs were able only to nibble at the hay and satisfied their appetite so gradually that no losses or trouble from digestive derangement occurred. Officials of the bureau of animal industry who have been co-operating with the Idaho board of sheep commissioners in a study of the causes ^of mortality among sheep point oat that proper diagnosis of sheep diseases is essential In all cases. They also are confident that greater attention to feeding, management and sanitation will greatly reduce the loss both from diseases and other causes. Preventable Loss. Dr. F. E. Murray, In charge of the bureau's office at Salt Lake City, estimates the preventable losses, which are well within the control of sheepmen themselves, at about a quarter of a million^dollars annually in the intermountain region. This is a conservative appraisal of the jjtnnuai toll aside from the hazards that are difficult to I prevent, such as those caused by predatory animals and exposure. In the opinion of department specialists, fully 75 per cent of the preventable losses are due to Improper feed or feeding conditions. The remaining 25 per cent of the losses are accounted for by diseases, parasites, poisonous plants, and miscellaneous causes. HEN Raising Chicks on Cieani^ Soil to Prevent Gapes Gape* in chicks Is a trouble dne to the presence of parasitic worms In the windpipe causing labored breathing. The wvms are coughed up by infected chicks, eggs are laid in the soil and the worms are often hatched there. Other chicks pick rp the eggs or worms from the soil and become affected. Purdue university. states that the best way to prevent gapes Is to rals® the chicks on clenn ground, free from gape infection. If the soil is Infected with the gape worms it should be plowed and a crop raised on It. If the chicks are kept off the ground for a year it will usually be clean and can be used the following year. . The West Virginia experiment station has recommended three drops of creolin to a pint of drinking water for affected chicks. Under normal circumstances It Is useless to try curing gapey chicks. The easiest thing is prevention. PRISONER HAS NOT SPOKEN IN wSEVEN YEARS Tzsmrfm Asked: "Did your mother leave any brothers or sisters?" "Rather a singular question," said the man courteously, his curiosity obviously excited. "Queer that I had never thought of that before. Let's see--did mother leave any brothers or sisters V* He considered It for a moment, but it was evidently too much for him, and calling his sister from an adjoining room he asked?" "O, Mary, did mother leave any brothers or sisters?" It seemed that she did--two, to be specific--and their names were duly supplied.

If the hens 4o not have a dry mash this may be a cause. A hopper of bran Is often useful In stopping bowel trouble. White diarrhea Is a disease of chicks although it is often carried by old birds and transmitted to the chicks without the old birds showing any outward sign of the trouble.

ERADICATION OF TUBERCULOSIS IS MAKING RAPID PROGRESS Many States Active in Free- * tng Country of Menace. ffftpirtd by the United St&taa Department of Agriculture.) The nation-wide effort to suppress bovine tuberculosis resulted in the detection of 25,163 reactors during April, according to a report Just Issued by the bureau of animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture. To obtain this number of diseased cattle, the federal and state veterinary Inspectors tested 815,880 cattle. •t the end of the month 10,794,910 cattle throughout the country were under the supervision for the eradication of the disease. The report shows also the extent of activity in the various states. Iowa Is the only state having more than a million cattle under supervision in combating tuberculosis. The group of states having from 500,000 to 1,000,000 cattle under such supervision Includes Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New York, and Wisconsin. States having from 250,- 000 to 500,000 cattle under supervi- , sion are Indiana, Minnesota, Kentucky, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington. From 100,000 to 250,000 are under supervision in the following states: California, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Maine and Vermont. The figures represent the status of the work in the various states on May L Other states, many of which have a limited number of cattle, are similarly active, though It Is not so apparent from the statistical reports. Extensive testing and the constant removal and slaughter of reactors are gradually freeing the country from the menace of bovine tuberculosis, which in the past has caused heavy ravages among herd sea nd has been a source of danger to people. Fifty-nine counties in 14 states are now officially recognized as practically free from tuberculous cattle, and several hundred additional counties are rapidly qualifying for the accredited county list Save Wheat by Burning Grasshoppers at Night On many farms grasshoppers will be found roosting nights on tall weeds and grass along fence rows at the edge of wheat fields. When this vegetation is dry, burning at night will destroy immense numbers of the hoppers. This is much quicker, less expensive and more effective than poison. Where burning is not possible, the newly sown wheat fields should be watched and if the hoppers start on the wheat, poison Should be applied at once, advises the department of entomology, Kansas State Agricultural college. When the young wheat plant has only one leaf, grasshoppers may eat it off once, and sometimes twice, and it will come up again. More than that will kill It. If they can be held until after the second leaf starts, there is little danger of the wheat being killed, according to entomologists. Flies Spread Limberneck The surest means for the elimination of limberneck is to trap the green flies which are now believed to spread the trouble. It has been found that green files are especially attracted to boiled cabbage and that where fly traps are baited with boiled cabbage, most of the green flies can be trapped. It Is the general experience of poultry keepers that when limberneck onet gets started many cases are likely to appear within a short Hm», Protein Makes Cheaper Eggs, Declares Kempster Hens cannot produce eggs profitably on rations made up of grains and grain by-products commonly produced on tfc* farm. This is the conclusion of H. L. Kempster of the Missouri Agricultural college. He bases his opinion on ten years of feeding experiments conducted at the Missouri station. The use of meat scrap, tankage, sour buttermilk and dried buttermilk resulted in an egg production per hen of 117, 120, 125 and 112 eggs respectively as compared with 61 eggs In the check pen receiving no animal protein. The cost is the chief factor in determining which to ule. Mashes containing 15 per cent or more of meat scrap or tankage gave uniformly more satisfactory results then when smaller amounts were used. For White Leghorns the most suitable amount of meat scrap or tankage is around six pounds per hen per year. Meat scrap, tankage or milk products reduced the amount of feed required to produce a pound of eggs nearly one-half. Cottonseed meal added to the mash did increase production. It is thought certain mineral deficiencies are responsible and experimental work will continue with cottonseed meal, linseed oilmeal and gluten meaL The ratio used through the experiment was adjusted so that approximately two-thirds consisted of scratch feed and one-third mash. In earlier work the scratch feed consisted of two pounds corn and one pound wheat. Sometimes it was corn alone and later oats replaced the wheat. The basal portion of the mash was made up of equal parts bran, shorts or middlings and cornmeaL To this base the various protein concentrates w«re added.

Were of Military Origin The Jews, like the Greeks and the Romans, divided the, night Into military watches Instead of hours, each watch representing the period foe which sentinels or pickets remained on duty. The proper Jewish reckoning recognized only three such watches, entitled the first or "beginning of the watches," the middle watch, and the morning watch. These would last from sunset to 10 o'clock p. m., from 10 p. in. to 2 a. m.; and from 2 a. m. tor sunrise. Subsequent to the annexation of Palestine to tHe Roman empire as a province, the number of watches was Increas^ to four, which were described either according to their numerical order as in the case of the "fourth watch," or by the terms "even, midnight, cock crowing, and morning." Their watches terminated respectively at 9 p. m., midnight, 3 a. m„ and 6 a. m. •• >u favorite Chinese Dish One of the forms of eggs of which the Chinese people are very fond Is the so-called "tea eggs." To prepare these, fresh hens' eggs are hardboiled, the shells cracked and the egg then cooked for hours In a mixture of tea Infusion, salt, spice and soy bean sauce. When the price of eggs Is low, "tea eggs" are often prepared and kept warm on the stove so that any member of the family may help himself to them as the Americans do candy and nuts. Hens' eggs are usually very cheap. An ordinary day's diet for a family easily contains a half-dozen eggs or more. Even poor people who keep their own hens use eggs freely. Slaves and servants, however, are usually given only a few, for vegetables are usually cheap, and eggs regarded as more desirable.--Philadelphia Inquirer. Sap Has High Press--% The pressure of outflowing sap in wounded trees at this time of year may be as high as 150 pounds a square inch, equal to the steam pressure in an ordinary locomotive. This has been discovered by special instruments placed in tree trunks by Dr. D. T. MacDougal, director of the Carnegie Institute's department of botanical research. Doctor MacDougal also told the society that trees with dead roots, trunk and leaves still continue to experience an ascent of sap In spring, demonstrating that this seemingly vital process is purely mechanical. Albino The term Albino was originally applied by the Portuguese to those negroes who were mottled with white spots; but It Is now applied to any who are born with red eyes and white hair. It is from the Latin word, albus, white. Albion, one of the names of England, Is derived from the same word; and it is said to have been given to the southern part of the island by Julius Caesar in allusion to the white cliffs skirting the southeastern coast where he landed on the occasion of his first invasion In the year 55 B. C. Famous Historical Herodotus was the oldest historfnn of Greece, and the "Father of History." He was born at Hallcarnassus In Carla, between 490 and 480 B. C.; traveled over Asia Minor, Egypt and Syria as far as Babylon, and in his old age recorded with due fidelity the fruits of his observations and inquiries, the main object' of his work being to relate the successive stages of the strife between the free civilization of Greece and the despotic barbarism of Persia for the sovereignty of the world.

EX-BANDIT CABIN NOW RADIO CHURCH Rendezvous of Desperadoe* Sanctuary of Minors* Tonopah, Nev.--In the hills near" the new gold mine of Gilbert, 30 miles from here, is an old stone structure known as the Outlaw's cabin. It has stood for 50 years or more. Many tales are told of this rendezvous of the desperadoes who once Infested the desert Country. It was here they gathered to plan their stage holdups and periodic raids on the scattered settlements --or to divide the booty, an occasion that often ended In a bloody fight. Many bullet scars in the walls and dark streaks on the floor testify to the former character of the place. Recently the name of the cabin was ^hanged to the Radio church. The discoveries of gold in the surrounding hills lately, bringing a stampede of prospectors, provided a new use for the old landmark. Every Sunday evening It Is filled with those who listen In on a sermon delivered several hundred miles away. Some of the grlxzled old-timers are a bit bewildered at the rapid march of progress, but gradually they are becoming used to radio talks and concerts In remote places, to prospecting with an automobile Instead of with a string of burros. Indian Bride Paddles to U. S. to Find Mate Detroit.--Cupid, the cherub charged with the destiny of romance, will be perched on the desk of Immigration Commissioner J. Stanley Hurd when Vera Cassel, an eighteen-year-old Indian maiden, tells of her love for a Spanish sweetheart that led her across the Canadian border In violation of the American law. Vera lived with her people on the Canadian Indian reservation 'on Walpole Island. One day a Spanish visitor came to the reservation. Vera met him and Cupid did the rest. Then he disappeared. That meeting occurred In the summer of 1924. In September, Vera fled the reservation and, slipping through the Immigration barriers, sought her sweetheart in Detroit. But before her quest was rewarded she was arrested and returned to the Canadian authorities. All through the winter she walked the shores of her island home, dreaming and planning a way to return.

Trapper's Gun Wiped v Out Enemy Snipers General pullard, who Is writing his war memoirs for the public print, has been taken to task recently for speaking disparagingly of a certain American fighting unit. The man who spokth up for his old "outfit" was a sergeant major. This could only happen In America. In the old European countries there may at one time or other arise a dispute between staff officers about battles, tactics or strategy, but no man from the noncommissioned ranks would think of raising his voice against the "brass hats" as Tommy Atkins calls his "betters." Of course it was a well-known fact In France that there were about five or six million potential Fochs, Pershlngs and Halgs In ^the ranks who could have "cleaned up" on the enemy a good deal quicker than was done by the high command, but as a rule all war-wlnnlng talk never went any further than some arguments In rest billets, which always ceased abruptly when the officer of the day came along. This writer recalls only one case In which a soldier's Idea of eliminating a grave danger in the Somme sector was acted upon. One day there arrived In the line an old mau who had lied and lied about his age to get into the army. He was a trapper from the northern Canadian woods. Besides his service rifle he toted a long-barreled Mauser of his own. Patrols had been cut to pieces in No Man's land and It was hard to get volunteers to go out for wire repairs work. The old boy volunteered and by his cautious trapper's procedure, discovered that the enemy scouts had painted the barbed wire stakes with luminous paint on the side facing his line. When Our scouts crawled past those posts In the night they were an excellent mark for snipers. The old trapper asked permission to upset the enemy's plan. He proceeded out in eerie No Man's land alone. With him he carried a straw sack, which he pulled slowly past the painted poets. The enemy snipers flred, thinking It the form of a man. And by the flash t>f the sniper's rifle the old fellow picked out his quarry. His long Mauser spouted death and destruction each Hme a bullet came whizzing at his itraw sack. He wiped out the most effective enemy snipers on the Somme front that way.--Pierre Van Paassen, In the Atlanta Constitution.

May Displace Cocaine A Hew anesthetic, which ultimately may result In the abandonment of cocaine for this purpose, has been discovered by Doctor Schulemann, German scientist, it was announced by a bulletin of the American Chemical society. The new compound, known as tutokaln. Is said to have been discovered among the Intermediate products In the manufacture of artificial rubber. Unlike cocaine, it Is nonpoisonous in practical use, it is said, and can be sterilized without decomposition. "Cocaine," according to the society's report, "is so much In demand In Germany today that because of its habit-forming properties attempts are t>elng made to discontinue its use and gradually forbid Its manufacture and traffic." Both In chemistry and pharmacy, It Is said, German scientists are endeavoring to substitute synthetic chemicals for medicines obtained from plants. Originality A very able German by the name of Goethe once said that "those who remain Imprisoned In the false notion of their own originality will always fall short of what they might have accomplished." I know men who almost never accept new Ideas or new suggestions nrhlch are brought to them. They have l false pride. They want all the Ideas and all the suggestions to come from themselves. There was once a city editor of a (vldely known newspaper who looked Slightingly on any reporter who ventured to come to the desk with a suggestion. ^ 'I will furnish the suggestions," the city editor used to say, "you do as you •retold." The building of a Pilgrim ment by the side of Immingham (Eng. land) creek is a most praiseworthy undertaking, both to mark a spot of peculiar historic significance and to remind Americans of some too little remembered details of that Puritan migration which meant so much to this country. It is to be feared that many Americans of generally good laformation share the error which Mrs. Wlntrlngham, M. Pn In her address at the cornerstone laying charged against Lady Astor, of supposing that the Pilgrim fathers belonged st Plymouth and sailed from that port on their departure from England. The Immingham monument should teach them better, and remind them of the fact that the Pilgrims had nothing whatever to do with Plymouth, save to be, much against their will, driven into harbor there by stress of weather and need of repairs to their ship, declares a writer In the Washington Post. It was In a very different and re> mote part of England that, they originated. In Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, with headquarters at Scrooby In the first-named county. It was from an unfrequented and desolate spot In the fens of Lincolnshire, where Immingham creek flows Into the estuary of the Humber, that they took ship for Holland. That was early In 1608, their first attempt at flight In the fall of 160T having been frustrated by the authorities. After a dozen years at Leyden they embarked at Delfthaven for Virginia, In the rickety ship Speedwell, stopping at Southampton to be Joined by friends from London on the Mayflower. Next, because the Speedwell was leaking, they were forced to put In at Dartmouth. Finally, after coming several hundred miles west of the British Isles, they were forced to put bade to save the Speedwell from foundering. They made Plymouth their port of refuge, whence as quickly as po®» sible they set out again, all In the Mayflower, the Speedwell being unfit for further service. The Pilgrim way begins, then, aft Scrooby, In Nottinghamshire. The second spot wortl-y of marking la where this monument is being built at Immingham creek. The third Is Leyden, the fourth Delfthaven, tlM fifth Southampton. So far as their intention was concerned, thoee live places should have comprised their entire European pilgrimage. Bnt grave mishaps compelled them to add Dartmouth and Plymouth to the list, and all seven may well be COBS* memorated. As for the Plymouth la New England where they finally set* tied, after first landing on Cape Cod, It had been thus named long before by Capt. John Smith, and they retained that name on finding that they were within the domains of the North Virginia or Plymouth company. Instead of thoee of the Virginia or company, as they had intended. Old "Pilgrim's ProgressP' An Old Testament Pilgrim's Pr# ress has been found In four of tSs psalms by Dr. Herbert H. Gowen, pra» fessor of oriental language and literature at the University of Washington. Doctor Gowen's translation dlffen from the standard one. He says ha has preserved as nearly as possible the original meter of the Old Testa* ment songs and has diligently connected the foqr chants Into a continuant story of the pilgrims' return to the Promised land. "The conception behind the font psalms, which begin with the 120th, was the return of the Jewish exllst from Babylonian captivity," Doctor Gowen said. "The Joy of the returning captives as they noticed the hills at their native land and the towers eg Jerusalem Is reflected In the songs." Vicarious Worship Admission prices were high and the lecture hall was crowded. But one in the audience did not know what It was all about. Leaning over to his neighbor, he whispered, "Who is this little chap that everyone is so anxious to hear?" "Why, haven't you heard of Jenkins. the great explorer. Just returned from his expedition Into the very heart of Bungaboo, where be had the moat thrilling experiences?" "Certainly; and you don't tell me that's Jenkins?" "Oh not Jeukins Isn't here.
