Order at The FARM TOPICS TRIMMING CATTLE HOOFS MADE EASY Devic^ Permits Shaping of Foot Wh_ile _on Gro4 und. By Dr. George E. Taylor, Extension Dairy- • man. New Jersey College of Agriculture.--WNU Service. Modern equipment and improved technique have greatly reduced the hazards ahd difficulties of hoof trimming and proper q^re of the feet of dairy animals. It has always been especially difficult to trim the feet on older bulls. Throwing an animal by means of ropes is difficult and there is danger of injuring the animal. There is a new device equipped with long handles which permit plenty of leverage. The cutting edge is slightly curved and set at an angle that will permit easy trimming and shaping the hoof while the foot is resting on the ground in a normal manner. Both the sides as well as the toes can be shaped as desired in a minimum of time and effort. The animal should be placed on level ground or preferably on a cement floor in order that the hoof will contact the ground in a normal standing position. If the hoof is rolled or turned over on the sides or toes, it may be necessary to shape the 'Bottom of the hoof in addition. A sharp pair of snippers and a blacksmith knife may be used for this purpose. It is comparatively easy to pick up the front feet for trimming but handling the hind feet is more difficult. Cording the hind leg just above the htack with a small diameter rope ^will make the task of picking up the hind feet much easier. When the rope is tightly drawn the leg soon becomes numb and much easier to handle. If the^nimal starts tq fight when the cord is first placed around the leg, permit the animal to step around a few minutes before attempting to raise the hoof from the ground. Washington ; Letter •dftorial prospect because this subject is of su preme importance to., local revenue agencies^ Tax-free securities have long been the refuge for tJhe rich and .previous efforts to place them in the taxable class have been discouraged. The fact that the Wlhite House wants Congress to act before March 15, when Federal income taxes are due, adds to'tihe confusion on Capitol Hill. Important state and local tax officials,, who may find jt difficult to market their bonds, are more than likely to place the responsibility on Congressional delegations for removing the immunity. This latest controversy has developed some inconsistencies which plague the lawmakers wfho do not want to en- Washington, January 25--Reflations between the states and the Federal government have been projected into the limelight as the ranking controversy of the hour. There has always been keen rivalry between the commonwealths and the central government in an effort to obtain a strangle. v..^ uu 1IUV w»„i, w CI1. hold oft sources of revenue.

Mr. Roosevelt has! taken advantage of a recent Supreme Court decision to avoid the necessity; for a long drawn out constitutional' amendment and thus hastens the fateful hour when the Congress mustreach a decision. Hhe federal govern ment itself in recent years has flooded; the country with billions in tax-free doctrine advocates.. 'Hie Roosevelt proposal to tear away the cloak of immunity from salaries has stirred a ho/net's nest that distracts attention ies and securities on parity wi from such issues as national defense, vate citizens and private securite farm and labor. • There is some irony in the current siene. State governments which have never hesitated in recent years to saddle Washington with the cost of relief and other depression expenditures turned about with drawn claws as Mr. Roosevelt proposes to tax their bonds and salaries to replenish the Treasury. Political observers chuckle ators and Representatives respective states. Although the Chief Exeutive's recommendations cut across, party lines the whole proposal is loaded with political dynamite. It will be remembered that there are small armies of workers in state and local governments who presumably have some influence in their neighborhood to land a berth on the of Congress to prune plans for gove ™ment sPending, the administrative officials have attempted to sho,w a similar economy front. The big spenders are placing their hopes on the Senate which is usually more liberal in authorizations for^dishing out the taxpayer's money. The first of a series of appropriation bills will be presented to the House by its committee at ane^jy^te. RECEIVES CAP Miss Eleanore Althoff, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Many farms have egg scales and candlers, but it is surprising how, few have grading benches. Without this important piece of equipment, notes a writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer, egg grading and packing; is a back-breaking practice which is? not conducive to efficient work. A convenient and easily constructed bench can be made, however, at very little expense. The table top should be six feet long, 26 inches wide and 25 inches from the floor. The height will depend on the size of the person doing the grading. Its height should be such that the top of an egg case placed on the table will be at the waistline of the operator. A shelf 12 inches wide and 24 inches above the top of the bench would be very handy for scales, fillers, nails and other articles. salaries along with the lesser fry, but in their official capacities their -troubles will be multiplied in finding adequate sources of revenue to carry on public affairs in their own bailiwicks. The removal of state and municipal securities from the tax exempt class will unquestionably add to their difficulties in peddling long-term bonds and higher local taxes are in the offtng. The lawmakers on Capitol Hill fully expect plenty of trouble on their home grounds as the implications of the Roosevelt fiscal policy gradually seep into the minds of local and state administrative officers.

One of the objectives of this new and powerful Council is to lessen the trade barriers which definitely hinder the flow commerce from state to state. Sub-committees of the House Appropriations Committee are bothering high Federal officials with sharp questions as to their plans. Instead of taking a high and mighty attitude so typical of bureaucracy, these chieftains are extremely polite in wooing Congressional favor.

The best flooring material for piggeries is concrete, though a sleeping bed in one corner of the pen is usually covered with planks as such a bed is warmer than a concrete surface for the pigs to lie on, advises an authority in the Montreal; Herald. Birch or other hard wood planks would be satisfactory for use' for sleeping beds on concrete provided they are kept dry, but if allowed to get wet, pine, cedar or other lumber from coniferous trees would be better. Slips in Caponizing Caponizing is usually accomplished by the use of a fine wire snare or forceps, of which there are a number of types, including one using an electric current. Thp operation itselfis one requiring practice and skill to avoid the production of "slips," or incomplete removals of the organs and the consequent failure to secure the wanted results in the growth and character of the bird. A certain percentage of slips is to be expected, even at the hands of skilled operators and the losses thus suffered must be charged to production costs. The$-*>* operation is best learned by watch* ing a good operator and practicing upon a dead bird. Record Lamb Crop The largest lamb crop on record was reported by the United Statesj bureau of agricultural economics when the 1938 crop was estimated at 32,221,000 head. This year's pro* duction is about 5 per cent larger than in 1937, about two million head or nearly 7 per cent greater than the five year (1933-1937) average, and 606,000 head larger than the previous record crop of 1931. The increase from last year was a result of the larger crop in the West. FOR THEIR SAKS Let Electricity Serve You These Two Vital Ways!
