Very Hew new varieties of potatoes luve been developed during the past :<brty years. This might seem to Indicate that the public Is satisfied with What we tuttfe But it Is not true. "Varieties of potatoes are needed that 'Will not turn Mack after cooking; that Will resist s»eh -diseases as scab, leaf^ roil, late bllgfet and yellow-d warf; that will resist teaf hoppers: and that 'will better tolerate, best aod drouth. Much as the potato breeder had done, tf& ^, ? liis Job has Just begun; For more than 20 years the CWted States Department of Agriculture has been developing thousands of potato .seedlings at Its breeding stations. Attention centers especially on Improre- . pent in the shape of the tuber, the color and the texture of the skin, shal- ; lowness of eyes, cooking quality, and v ieslstaDce to virus diseases. : Three of the most promising varieties have been named and are now en trial with many, growers in a few . fotato states. In order of their introduction, these varieties are: the . Katahdln, a handsome, shallow-eyed ..glossy white-skinned potato; the Chippewa, promising early variety, whitegkinned and shallow-eyed, that may Compete with Irish Cobbler; and the .Golden potato, medium in season. White-skinned, yellow-fleshed. Other seedlings will be named and Introduced this year, but several years may pas before they become generally available. \-4* Live Stock Losses Are Heavier in Summer Time Two suggestions for reducing live Stock shipping losses are advanced by C. W. Hammans, extension specialist In marketing for the Ohio State university. •fa: He suggests the use of .sand as a Redding materia) for truck and carlot Shipments during the hot, summer inonths, and trucking to market at auch times that the live stock will arrive during the early morning hours. The sand, well wet down, helps to avoid overheating and losses. --^ Shipping losses during a year are Estimated to amount to as much as $30,000,000, Hammans says. Losses from death and crippling at four Ohio Markets reached $162,000 during a seaiton when accurate count was kept. Greatest losses are with hogs.. Dur- Jpg summer months one bog in 200 Is 'iflead upon arrival at the stock yards. Of the $1^2,000 loss reported in the turvey, $137,000 were in hogs. The *remalnder was the result of losses of Rattle, sheep and calves. Mid-West Farmers Increase Incomes ,&;;4 --,--k Those Keeping Books Report 3usines& Improvement Being Shown. Farm earnings of 73 account-keeping farmers in several Illinois counties, showed an Increase In 1934 over 1933, tlie second consecutive year of their business improvement, according to a report, of the College of Agriculture, Dniversity of Illinois, published in the St. Lpuls Milk Market Review, Avei*age cash Income last yekr among the 78 farmers was $2,715 per farm,' and cash expenditures average $1,500 per farm, leaving $1,215 to meet Interest payments and family living expenses, the report explains. Besides the cash Ihcoine, an inventory increase of $461 per farm was shown, on account of rises In farm product prices. The 73 accounts show an average net income In 1934 of $1,043 a farm, compared with an average of $259 In 1938 and an average net loss of $542 in WSfc The data compiled, the report obsefvefe, is not representative of average farm conditions, as the statistics wete secured from large farms. Of ttie farms considered, 88 were general and 35 dairy farms. "Oa many farms," the report states,, "the cash- received from benefit payments CAAA payments) will more than pay for the year's taxes. As aln average for' all the accounting farms, payments' acftiafly received were $64 more than sufficient to pay 1934 taxes." ' Cattb Cattle are perkayn the uiost philosophic of ail tulitl passengers oa ocean veweli, de^tte dw fate that usually awaits then after they are landed at their destliattoa. They are shipped in wooden peas aaade to bold fonr. On account of the targe numbers transported across the ocean, Just enough room is allowed fsr two to stand and two to lie down at one time. By some mysterious understanding between them, they arrange "watches" or turns at standing, and each pair stands] up and^ lies down for fairly equal /intervals throughout the voyage without fuss sr bother. Caustic Potash Is Used to Remove Calves' Horns Tbfe horns are usually removed from young calves by using caustic potash. This may be obtained in stick form at a drug store. The calt's horns should be treated with caustic potash as soon as the button appears, which will be possibly at two weeks of age, according to a writer in Hoard's Dairyman. The long hair around the horn should be clipped away with ordinary hair clippers or a pair of shears. A circle of vaseline should then be placed around .the horn, making a considerable ridge above the eye so that no liquid containing the caustic potash will get Into the eye. The stick of caustfc potash is then dampened and rubbed vigorously on the small horn button until the flesh gets considerably reddened, although it Is not advisable to rob It until blood appears. The person doing the work should protect his hands against contact with the wet caustic; M Crossbreeding Animals i Crossbreeding Is the mating of pure- > frred animals of different breeds of the "iame species. Crossbred animals are Usually larger and more vigorous than either parent. Their hereditary material, however, Is so complex that there Is no certainly as to-what results will come from mating them. Except to produce market animals, crossbreeding should be used only by the highly skilled breeder, and It is not practicable In his case unless he has an opportunity to place the progeny ; on the market for breeding purposes. American practice In livestock breeding does not encourage the development of new breeds except In the case of pet stock. Therefore the practical man, as a rule, will leave this matto" the experImenta 1 ists.-^MIssoriri Farmer.

Rodents on Farm Contrary to the experience of big game, many of the smaller wild animals find civilization an advantage. In primitive regions the numbers of such animals as feround squirrels, prairie dogs, and pocket gophers were largely determined by the available food supply and the iextent to which they were the prey of the larger hunting animals. As fafmers filled the western country they drove oIt the larger anlrpals and planted crops and meadows, thus Increasing the available food supplies for the small rodents. The rodents multiplied to take advantage of the more available food available in fields, meadows, and orchards. This is one reason, according to the biological survey, that farmers find it necessary to trap and poison the rodent pests. Save Overheating of Stock "There Is no need for farmers losing horses. during sudden hot spells of the busy farming season," Wayne Dinsmore, secretary Horse Association of America, says. Men who work around coke '."ovens^Th'Tempe'raWres HS'trtgh tfS~ 135° F. have all the salt and water they want If horses are treated the same way they can stand heat, t<*o. Take bairrels of water to the field and allow tlie horses an opportunity to drink every hour. Give them all the salt they want.

SERBIAN "HEROES" USED MAGIC SWORDS The old Serbian "heroes" of the Dark ages, according to legend, were armed with "magl.c swords which cut through their enemies' armor." Now a mining prospector, examining ancient workings in-old Serbia, believes he has dls covered the secret of those "magic" weapons, notes a writer in the Montreal Herald. There were made, not of Iron, but of nickel steel. In an old working he came on a piece of metal which is probably the oldest piece of special steel 1l existence. In vain be tried to bore a hole in It. Finally he sent It tp Vienna to be examined. Here Again difficulty was experienced in piercing it and analyst! showed that it was nickel steel of peculiar hardness. The circumstances under which this piece of steel was found suggest that it is about 1,000 years old--that is. It was In existence 050 years before nickel steel was rediscovered.
