Has Been Carried Oft POULTRY JBLANT ROOF m BAVE ON AND REPAIRS tToo Little Pitch Is Cause of r Much Trouble. h- Geo tile slopes may be all right In e corn field, but they are certainly ^ ^>ut of place on the roof of the poul _ house, according to H. I*. Twit chert, extension specialist in agrlcul tural engineering ai the Ohio Slate *?unlversity, ^ One reason, he says, why the r«>ol • of the poultry bouse requires mending -;Or replacing quicker thnn any other type of farm building is thai they are " unusually flat, often having a pitch of but one inch to iht foot. Such gentle elopes eliminate the use of such roof : 1ng materials aa slate, shingles and -ordinary metal roofings which are not suited to small pitches. As a result, : composition roll rooting has been about the only material used. This type of .roof is satisfactory for only one or two seasons. The best mothod of repairing an old composition roof is to convert It tnto built-up roof, Twitchell points out. Tills roof* which consists of several ""layers or thicknesses of roofing paper cemented down with hot roofing asphalt. often lasts for more than 15 years. The cost ol converting an old exposition roof Into a built up roof .1s less than that of laying a new roll roof. In laying the new roof, Twitchell says, it is a good Idea to first go over the old roof and be snre that It Is perfectly smooth; old nailsshonld be driven In. metal strips removed, and "wrinkles levelled out After the old roof has been gone over and made fast to the roofing boards, tar paper or roofing felt is laid. In laying the roofing felt, hot asphnlt is mopped on a small area at a lower end of the roof where It is -desired to start the roll. Then the roll of felt is placed In position on the freshly applied asphalt before It has time to harden. More asphalt is mopped on the surface and the felt unrolled as quickly as the asphalt Is applied. Only a ribbon of asphalt as wide as the roll is spread over the roof surface. Each strip is laid half way ovei the preceding Strip and the whole covered with a finishing coat of hot asphalt. Producing Geese for Market and Breeding The number of geeee that should be permitted to mate with a .gander va riea somewhat with tfce purpose for which the offspring are Intended. When the geese are bred for the pur pose of exhibition, they should be •^mated only in pairs, awl kept In mating yards until if is certain they are mated. When geese are bred for the purpose of producing geese for market. the females and males may run In large flocks from the beginning provided the proportion of one male to three or four females is maintained. If allowed their own will, all varieties of geese, except the Canadian, will mate in the proportion of one male to three or Ave female*. Rarely If ever will the Canadian geese mate otherwise than in pairs. Exceptions to this rule occur, however. If Canadian geese Are mated while confined. i i i i i i i i i i i i i n i u m i i H i \ Poultry Notes f.f 1 n iitHimini nmni Winter egg production is often cut abort by a limited supply «tf water. • • • Rao the incubator far 14 IIQUW -co •a to be rar* that It Is pgaparty lated. • • See that there Is an outlet for foul air located at the highest point 4n the poultry house.

Wuhlngton, D. C.) INCREASE by Colombia of the export tax on bananas to three cents a bunch calls attention to a conntry which contributes other important items besides tropical fruit to the consumers of the United States. Approximately twelve million bunches of bananas were exported last year, practically all of them to the United States. Colombia, which occupies the northeastern corner of South America and forms the southern "abutment" of the Isthmus of Panama, Is typical of the entire northern and northeastern portion of the South American continent. It is tremendously rich in all Borts of natural resources and very largely undeveloped. It has an area of nearly fialf a million square miles, which means that It Is almost twice the size of Texas; yet it has only about one-tenth of the railroad mileage of that state. To put It differently, there is a mile of railway in the United States as a whole for every 12 square miles of area while in Colombia there is only a mile of railway for every 270 square miles of area. Most of the Colombian railways are of narrower gauge, by a foot or more, than those of the United States. They do not form a system, but for the most part are in lengths of twenty-five to a hundred or so miles, scattered about the country. Bogota, the capital of Colombia, Is situated between raqges of the Andes on a plateau at an elevation of more than a mile and a half. It is approximately 450 miles from the Caribbean sea along the most accessible route, and 200 miles from the Pacific across the Andes. It has no rail connection with either sea. To reach It one must fly or travel for more than 500 miles up the winding course of the Magdalena river by boat, skirting rapids by means of a short length of railroad, and finally cover the last 50 miles from the head of navigation by rfc.il. The land-river trip sometimes requires several weeks. Transportation of supplies throughout much of the Interior is by means of mule-back along rough, narrow mountain paths. The few carriage roads are In the Magdalena delta near the coast and in the vicinity of Bogota on the plateau. Vast Grazing Plains. Mora than half of the area af Colombia lies east of the three ranges of the Andes and consists of plains country sloping toward the center of the continent and drained by the headwaters of the great Amazon and Orinoco river system. Covered with succulent grasses, these plains form an unsurpassed stock-raising country. It is largely unutilised and is to be compared with the plains of Rhodesia, South Africa, as one of the richest unoccupied regions suitable for cattle raising remaining in the world. It is estimated that more than ten million head of cattle could be pastured on these "llanos" of eastern Colombia. Colombia's climatic vary from the sub-tropical near the shores of the Caribbean, to Alpine in the' higher Andea. Forests cover millions of acres, the deltas and river valleys yield cotton, tobacco, cacao, bananas, rubber and other tropical and subtropical products, while on the hillsides coffee thrives* Annual coffee exports often reach a value of $75,000,- 000, while the yearly banana shipments have grown to a value of approximately $10,000,000. On the plateaus grain and*other temperate zone products may be grown. The need for railroads In Colombia Is indicated by the fact that, though considerable quantities of grain are produced on the interior ^plateaus. It has always benfe cheaper to buy grain from the United States In the Colombian coast cities after It has been shipped thousands of miles, than to transport the domestic grain the few hundred miles from its place of production. Gold has always been one of the Important products of Colombia. Since the coming of the Spaniards at the beginning of the Sixteenth century approximately $700,000,000 worth of gold, it is estimated, bfts been mined from the country. Abo*t $2,000,000 worth is produced annually at present The country supplies nearly half the world production of platinum. Iron ore and numerous "Other minerals are present In paying quantities. Perhaps most important of all, Colombia has a vast reservoir of petroleum beneath her soil, ^n 1930 more than 20 million barrels were produced. Old City of Cartagena. Colombia was named for Christopher Columbus who in 1502 started In the country, where the Isthmus of I'anama meets South America, the to Cartagena. first settlement on the mainland In the New world. This settlement was short-lived. Cartagena, one of the chief ports, was established In 1533. It was heavily fortified by the Spanlards and served as the collection point and place of safe keeping for the treasure from both coasts of South America, preliminary to Its periodical shipment to Spain under convoy. This old city lies on a peninsula Joined to the mainland by a causeway. Its gray and ivery stone and brick houses with their corrugated red roofs contrast with the green hills that rise in the background and form a pleasant picture from the water. Lying parallel to the mainland Is Tierra Bomba Island, which must be akirted by vessels entering the harbor of Cartagena. Of the two entrances the Boca Grande (Large Mouth) is nearest the city; but It is too shallow for shipping to pass through, so the lower entrance or Boca Chic* (Small Mouth), which lies eight miles distant. Is utilized. Walls in home places forty feet thick encircle the old town and recall the days when the city was one of the strongest defenses on the Span ish Main. Although they are now dismantled, several well-preserved fortresses, which dot the walls, present a military aspect. Arches, balconies and grills give Cartagena as Moorish an . air as any city of southern Spain. Crumbling arches and faded pla9ter structures attest the city's age. Many of the balconies exhibit fanciful carving in stone and the grills are often wrought iron in arabesque designs. The doors and windows which front on the narrow, dark, cobble-stoned streets are heavily grilled. Burros and automobiles pass through the chief gate of Cartagena, a venerable structure of yellow stone surmounted by a steeple. Electric lights brighten the streets that once echoed to the footsteps of Sir Francis Drake's plundering crew. Tramways roll along under overhanging balconies of lilac or orange plaster.

The marble pulpit of the Jesuit church of Saint John of God Is celebrated throughout South America. 0 Nagroaa and Syrians Titer*. At present Cartagena Is secondffry In commercial importance to Barranquilla, which is also 4 Caribbean seaport Nevertheless, it does a thriving trade and two-masted schooners as well as large merchant steamers line the waterfront. The bulk of the exports which pass through the town consist of coffee, chicle, ipecac, hides, gold, platinum, balsam and cacao. Negroes in canoes carry on traffic with natives in the many small towns bordering the mainland. The larger part of Cartagena's population is negro, while mestizos or mixed Indians and whites form the comparatively small middle class, and pure whites of Spanish descent form only about a tenth. About half the business In Cartagena Is carried on by Syrians. They have agents throughout the town and country, and no hamlet in the interior is free from a visit from a Syrian peddler with his omnipresent pack. The railroad out of Cartagena extends only to Calamar, about 65 miles distant, but the Intrepid peddlers pierce the interior afoot or by canoe. Much of the profits of the Syrian merchants is Invested in Colombian mines and real estate. Before the war Cartagena's imports came largely from Europe because, the average Cartagena business man bad traveled in Europe, was familiar with European wares and felt a racial compatibility with Europeans. During the war when transatlantic commercial shipping was tied up, he was forced to become acquainted with American products. Since then commerce between the United States and Colombia has grown by leaps and bounds. The proximity of the two countries and the rapid delivery of goods has largely been responsible for this growth. After Independence was won from Spain in 1819 Colombia was combined with Venezuela and Ecuador as "the Republic of Colombia." Later there was a separation and Colombia became by turns the "Republic of New Granada," "the Confederation of Granadina," the "United States of Colombia," and finally in 1886 again the "Republic of Colombia." Bolivar, though born in Venezuela, led the Colombians to liberty and became the first president of the republic. , : ; WILLIAM M.

Radio as now understood Is the transmission and reception of sounds by means of electro-magnetic waves radiated through space. In 1864 a Scottish physicist, James Clerk Maxwell, presented the theory as a mathematician. A few years later a German, Herts, advanced the general theory on which all present-day radio devices are based. Marconi built the first practical equipment in 1895, and In 1896 took out the first wireless patent Ten years later, Lee DeForrest, an American, patented the vacuum rectifier, knoVvn as the audlon, and the full scope of what we know as radio was ready for the refinements which have made It a common utility. The word radio Is from the Latin Word radius, meaning ray or How Cat* Bccama The domestic cat got its diminutive of "PUBS'* from a curious corruption of a French word, Dr. Frank H. Visetelly has found. It seems that ta Friar Bacon's "Pliophecie" It figures as "pusc^t." Minsheu spelled it "pusae,** and the term was used for both a cat and a hares. Wedgewood, an English theorlzer In etymology, suggested that the name was given probably In Imitation of a cat spitting. Another scholar, Doctor Viretelly finds, pointed out that the hare, when spoken of In Latin, was called "lepus." The introduction of Norman French, with its many Latin words, made the term familiar. Thus, in time, the first syllable was explained as the French definite article, "le." Later, In the "le" was displaced by the "the,"--Detroit News.

The Ink is first distributed on an Inking slab and rolled Into a thin film and then transferred by a roller to the inking plate, where it should be distributed to cover the entire surface evenly. The degree of pressure exerted fat taking the fingerprint is Important In obtaining a clear impression and can be determined best by experience and observation. The subject should be asked to relax the fingers completely and not attempt to assist by exerting pressure on the inking surface.
