A horse is more valuable today, in terms of other commodities, than at any time in the past 20 years. The "price of horses rose enough from 1925 to 1937 to double their value in term* of all other commodities. Each year farmers lose Tiorses that proper care and management would save--horses with many useful years of work ahead. A study in Chenango and Ontario counties in 1936 by a representative of Cornell showed that 428 horses died during the past five years on 432 farms, or nearly one to a farm. These died at the average age of 16 years. Average age of 1,382 horses on these farms in 1936 was 13 years, Old age caused fully one-third of the deaths among the horses, according to the investigator. Average age of horses that died of old age was 23 years. Old age causes more than twice as many deaths as any other single thing. Accidents and digestive troubles are next; each was responsible foe. 14 per cent of the 428 deaths. All three causes were responsible for two-thirds of all the deaths on these farms during the past five years. Other reasons «Phy. f*rm horses die are: paralysis, heaves, lockjaw, heat, food poisoning, azutaria, lightning, and pneumonia. Each has a' minoBj part, along with other miscellaneous causes. No method is offered to keep horses from growing old; but oldage, cited as the main cause of death, ranges from 14 to 37 years. Is there that much variation among the horses themselves, or could care and management influence lengthof- life? He says the answer is giveji by experienced farmers and others who know horses and who know how to prolong the useful li£$ ^©1 most faithful servant." .

However, unless It a sun-room that has windows facln several directions, it Is necessary to aid the shadow illumination with reflectors. These can be white sheets or pillowcases draped over a chair, white cardboard or blotter-paper, or anything else that will pick up the sunlight and cast it toward the subject's shadow side. In addition, the light may be : pleasingly softened by a close-mesh window curtain through which thei sunbeams paBs. With such a diffuser, exposure should be about double what you would give outside in the sun. The sunlight should come front above, slanting downward upon the subject and amateur floodlight bulbs can be used to soften shadows wherS reflectors are insufficient. yftn Guilder. • A total eclipse of the moon will be visible May 14 over North and South Americas, Australia and the Pacific Ocean. The eclipse, first since July, 1935, will continue for 50 minutes begin nings at 3:18 a.m., central daylight saving time, according to calculation at Perkins observatory, Ohio Wesleyan university. Astronomters explained that the phenomenon which has little scientific value occurs when the sun and the moon move directly opposite each other with the earth between. * As the eclipse becomes visible, the moon moves through the shadow cast by the earth opposite the sun. The so-called eclipse happens because the moon's visibility to the earth's inhabitants depends on the reflection of the sun's rays. Temperatures on the surface of the moon, normally about the boiling point of water, 212 degrees Fahrenheit will drop by 300 degrees during the 50- minute shadowing. As the total eclipse starts, the moon irill be outlined faintly in dull, copper *ed like a huge penny in the sky. The red hue will become steadily duller until the middle of the shadow goes past. The reddish tinge, even during the supposedly total eclipse, is caused by the bending of sun rays around the surface of the earth by the refraction of the atmosphere, scientists said. Because the moon in total eclipse will not pass directly through the center of the earth shadow, the glow will be distributed unevenly with greatest intensity on the southern edge. Robert Emmons, student astronomer, predicted an eclipse of even longer duration will be visible Nov. 7 from the American continents. Seven Types of Heads Found Among the Hens The seven types of heads of layers, according to a poultry specialist at the Missouri state college, are: First, rugged refined--capable of producing 250 to 300 eggs per year. This head shows high quality,, the face is of medium length and depth and the skin is of fine texture and lean appearance. Second, refined head--capable of producing 200 to 250 eggs. This head is similar to the rugged refined type but is lacking in strength. Third, overly refined--capable of producing 150 to 200 eggs. This bird is lacking in strength. Fourth, crow-headed--capable of producing 150 to 200 eggs. This head shows refinement but also considerable length. It lacks ruggedness so necessary for high production. Fifth, coarse--capable of producing 50 to 150 eggs. This head shows wrinkles, over-hanging brows and coarseness throughout. Sixth, phlegmatic--capable of producing 25 to 150 eggs. The best way of describing this head is to say that it is lacking in character. Seventh, masculine--capable of producing 0 to 50 eggs. In this case the hen grows an excessively large comb and takes on the appearance of the male. It is due to growths or diftturbances in the ovary. f Paving Feedlots Feedlots can be paved by the regular farm help, E. T. Robbins, live stock extension specialist, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois, points out. A brick pavement 35 by 70 feet was laid in 1929 at a minimum of expense. Bricks of common size were laid flat on the black dirt of a level prairie farm. A rim of concrete extends around the outside. The bricks are not tight but they have stayed in place and the floor has kept smooth. Heavy Water Is Stimulant Tests on animals show that when heavy water is administered it produces an effect similar to that of adrenalin, a hormone, which throws the body into its greatest state ot activity. Poultry Grades Changed ~ Two important changes of interest to poultrymen were made in poultry plans at a recent annual poultry improvement conference in Chicago. The first was the establishment of a new chick grade, known as U, S. Verified, the intermediate grad/e between U. S. Approved and U. S. Cei\ tified. The secopd was a ruling requiring hatcheries and dealers to submit copies of proposed advertising literature to the official state agency before they are sent out. Strawstack Tons Measured There are differences of opinion over the method of estimating, within reason, the number of tons in a strawstack. Here is one good way to do it: multiply the overthrow (the distance from the ground on one side over the top of the stack to the ground on the other side) by the length, by the width (all in feet); multiply by 3, divide by 10 and then divide by 500 to 600, depending upon the length of time the hay has been in the stasV sLocuars lake < Mr. and Mrs. G.
