W. GRAEBEE ~ Farmers who graze cattle in woddlands lose money both in milk or beef and in timber and erosion control. Experiments have shown that managed woodlands yield an annual return of about $4 per acre, and that the best open pastures yield about the same amount. However, when grazing and forestry are combined on the same area, the yields are much lesii, the total annual return for typical woodland pasture being only $1 per acre. N Why do farmers run their cattle in the woods? There is only one logic&l reason: They think they can pick up an extra dollar or two by letting the cattle pick a few buds and twigs in early spring, along with the low-growing plants and a few sprigs of grass or briars which may grow where a few rays of sunlight reach the ground. This is a fallacy. A farmer doesn't pick up an extra dollar or two; the cows do not produce as much milk or as much beef as when they graze in open pasture; the timber supply is reduced; grazing woodlands induces erosion and loss of leaf Utter; the fencing bill is higher.

A, good example of such a case was a farmer who had 222 head of pigs which had been vaccinated with both virus and serum; seven of the group had died seven days after the vaccination and four more were sick. The farmer blamed the treatment. The sick pigs wandered about the pen in a daze, gradually weakening until completely paralyzed. Death soon followed. The owner said the pigs seemed to crave something, so he set out several blocks of medicated salt. A number of the pigs ate considerable amounts from the block, he continued. The salt was removed from the pens and ho further losses occurred. After observing several cases of salt poisoning, Dr. Hefferd says that inflammation of the kidneys and bladder, together with a hardening of the liver, are the most common effects of too much salt in the ration. As a rule hogs require little salt in the ration and the practice of mixing salt with the feed or soaking mash feeds in salt water should be discouraged, as a brine is likely to form which may cause acute poisoning /with death following quickly, leaving post-morten findings somewhat indefinite.

It operates continuously, *nd lt gets any real it does so by taking advantage! of the brief period between beats. The mechanism that causes it to beat regularly is one scientists would like to understapd. The heart will beat for long periods out of its body, just as regularly as it does when a part of the living organism. This fact makes possible a variety of experiments, recent ones giving surprisingly contradictory results. The hefarts of the great fnajority of species have much in common in their function and mechanism, but r e c e n t e x p e r i m e n t s m a d e w i t h hearts of oysters and crabs have revealed interesting differences in the methods of control. Professor Ivon R. Taylor, Brown university physiologist, and Dr. Edmund M. Waizl, of Johns Hopkins Medical school, have been giving electric?! and "chemical treatments to hearts removed from oysters and observing the effect on the beating of this organ with its paper-thin muscles. The oyster heart first surprised scientists by acting in an opposite way to the hearts of mammals when stimulated by electricity. In mammals the electric current stimulated heart activity but under its influence the oyster hearts went to sleep, or slowed their action. A similar reversal of response was obtained by Dr. J. H. Welsh, at the Harvard Biological laboratories. He was working on the hearts of crabs and he found that the chemical, acetylcholine, a powerful depressant for the ^Hfearts of vertebrates, acts as a powerful stimulant on the crab heart. The scientists working at Brown university treated the oyster hearts with this substance, which is produced by nerve stimulation in vertebrates. Again they found a reversal from the normal course. In this case the acetylcholine acted as a blocking agent and prevented the electricity from producing any effect. These experiments indicate a surprising ingenuity on the part of the heart in utilizing chemical substances to produce diverse effects. ^OULTRYMEN, ATTENTION!--We have a poultry expert who will worm, cull, and vaccinate your poultry.

It requires much experience in doing the various kinds of farm work and the ability to show ethers how to do this work. It requires training ixi business management and knowledge of the principles of plant growth, the feeding and care of animals, and the maintenance of soil fertility. Few industries require such a wide range of training and experience. Farming is not simply growing a particular crop or feeding a certain kind of live stock. It is an all-the-year-round business, involving the production of various plants and animals and the successful organization of the varying farm enterprises into a smoothly working unit.

Wage scales paid by food processors were twice as high in 1933 as in 1910-13. Slicing bread before it is sold and putting farm produce in small packages are two of the later developments in processing food. • * • For more than a year farm prod* ucts exports from the United States have been rising and imports falling. • • • The good poultryman is never too busy to keep after the lice and mites that increase so rapidly in the warm days. • • • Since the relationship between the price of milk and the cost of grain is favorable, dairymen should feed all the grain their cows will use efficiently.

Firat National Bank of Wflsdstssfc Clerking *"'."71*1 Woodstock, Illinois Vitamin in Yeast Varies With Different Species Hie amount of vitamin B1, the beriberi vitamin, occurring in yeast varies greatly with the medium upon which the yeast is grown, says a report to the American Chemical society by Prof. C. A. Elvehjem, of the University of Wisconsin. Investigation of five strains of yeast also shows that the yield of the vitamin differs according to species. The vitamin B1 content was about the same for most of/the yeaSts in the same medium bi^t varied considerably with different media,, the report concludes. The figures per gram of dry yeast were 10 international units for grain wort yea#f; three to fours international units for molasses yeast and 2.5 to 3.3 international units for glucose-salts yeast. The strain known as "endomyces vernalis" showed much less variation in B1 concentrate, crystalline B1, nucleic acid or liver extract to the glucose-salts medium greatly increased the vitamin B1 content of bakers' yeast. From 50 to 100 per cent of the added vitamin were recovered in the yeast crop. "About 70 per cent of the B1 coattent of the grain was found in the wort. Sterilization of the wort for 45 minutes at 15 pounds per square inch pressure destroyed about 20 per cent of the extracted vitamin. However, this was not lost as the yeast appeared able to reconstitute the vitamin froor tbe 4acoufM«jbUon products." Devil's Island Devil's Island is the general nam* fiven to the French penal colony in 'rench Guiana, on the northeast, coast of South America. Devil's island itself is actually only a small rocky island, 16 square miles in area, which forms one of a group called the lies du Salut. The other islands in the group are St. Joseph ©nd lie Roy ale. While only a small l ^number of political prisoners have ever been confined on Devil's island, this number includes the most famous of all, the innocent Captain Dreyfus. The French have been sending prisoners to Guiana since before the Revolution, but it was not until 1854 that it was officially designated as a penal settlement, and the prison was built latqr. The colony of French Guiana with an area of 30,880 square miles has a total population of only 47,000.

Seventy Years With One FtiHk' Henry Turk, manager for Western •Union Telegraph company at Parker's Landing, Pa., has retired after 70 years of service, establishing what is believed to be an all-time record in the communications industry, the company announced. Mr. Turk was born at Black Fox "Furnace, Clarion county, Pa., on February 27, 1858, and began work at the age of 10 years as a Western Union messenger boy at Parker's Landing, then one of the centers of Pennsylvania's oil industry. His experiences include maintenance of service for the company during a number *of serious floods. Mr. Turk plans to remain active in community affairs. He retains an old Morse key which he toad used for many years. American Tourists Turn Down Europe Afore Families to Tow Qvpn ' Country This Yeafi MINNEAPOLIS.--More American families, will tour the Americas in 1939 than ever before, while they turn their backs on Europe. Barring unexpected economic reversals, 1939 will be the biggest travel year in the country's history, and should top the record five and onehalf billion dollar tourist business of 1937, according to a study by Northwestern National Life Insurance company. American travel to Europe shrank 20 per cent in 1938 from the 1937 volume. Although travel agents reported a pick-up in European book? ings immediately after Hitler's January speech, with its unexpectedly moderate tone, present indications are for a further shrinkage in American visits to Europe in 1939, the survey finds. Major stimulants to domestic travel during 1939 are the New York and San Francisco World's fairs; it is estimated that 26 million visitors will see one fair or the other. Railroads and travel agencies already report large blocks of bookings for both fairs; automobile clubs are already filling members' advance requests for routings to New York and San Francisco. However, South American travel has been climbing steadily; domestic cruise bookings jumped in the last few weeks of 1938 and have continued to gain since; it is difficult to reserve space on Hawaiian steamships for early summer sailings, as practically their entire passenger space has already been sold. The American motorist, who despite the depression 'did almost as much touring in 1938 as in the record year of 1937, is due for his greatest mass pilgrimage in 1939. Automobile clubs report that many members cut short or postponed 1938 pleasure trips, in anticipation of making world's fair treks in 1939. Automobile clubs and gasoline company routing bureaus report that they have a considerable volume of inquiries already for summer vacation routings. Winter motor travel for the season just past exceeded that of the winter of 1937-38. Air travel, which has expanded in volume in spite of business cycles, continues its steady increase. 8ALBS TO PORTUGAL MOUNT apros RECENT SHUTOFO OF TRADE f - Ai-wrample «rf the shifting of trad* already caused by the war in Ettrope is seen in the recent authorization by the government of Portugal of a purchase of $5,000,000 worth of railroad equipment in the United States. The first order is for stainless steel passenger coaches, to be followed by purchases of locomotives and rails. Until the outbreak of the war Portugal's importfe came largely from Germany and England. While the proposed transactions will be on a cash basis, it is understood that efforts will be made to dispose of Portuguese goods of equal value in the United States. These goods will consist of cork, preserved fish, port wine Mid olive oil from Portugsl^: and coffee from her colonies. Negotiations for this deal were cos^ ducted by Charles B. McDsniel, dr American now living in Paris, who h& formed a trading corporation to prp", mote foreign trade with Die United States. Although the amount involved Hi this initial transaction is not in itself very great, it indicates that S- ^ good deal of trade which formerly was carried^ on with nations now at1* war may be diverted to the United" States, because of war conditions.

Bridge and Poker Lead in Card Games, Surrey Shows, CHICAGO.--A devoted following in rural areas of the Midwest and West was instrumental in ranking auction bridge as the country's third most popular card gam#? it was shown by a survey of clubs and social organizations recently completed. In the nation-wide tabulation, auction gave way only to contract bridge, which is currently Number One card game, and to perennially favored poker. Two old favorites, pinochle and rummy,-battled it out for fourth honors with rummy coming out on top in the ratings. Games such as hearts, 500, whist and solitaire all have their staunch supporters, it was shown, but trailed the leaders by a considerable margin. There are 42 different card games keeping America entertained at present, according to the poll. Some are favored in certain sections-- such as schafkopf (sheepshead) in Wisconsin. Others are practically unheard of outside limited areas. Examples cf these are guernsey bull and hoof and mouth, which obviously came from the cattle country, and card games called. Asry cross, bonanza, datta and squeeze which can be traced to ao particuUur Xocalities. A 3-Story Flat Houses Bearers, Muskrats, Mink BUTTE, MONT.--Beavers, sometimes employed by the CCC in dam building and in water conservation, have a new fort now, according to Charles A. Joy, supervisor of D>eer Lodge National Forest. These industrious animals apparently have gone in for apartment life and, in so doing, have demonstrated how to get-along with the neighbors. Joy related a tale of a three-story beaver apartment house that he had found, occupied in the basement by the beaver builders, the second floor housed a family of muskrats, and the pent house was let to a young mink couple, and several little minks. Apparently the strange family is on the best of terms. Three Scientists Study Mysterious Cow Disease ST. PAUL, MINN.--Three scientists in the University of Minnesota's dairy department are hunting for a minute organism--a germ believed the cause of a disease that annually kills thousands of dairy cows throughout the country. The scientists specifically are studying a live stock ailment called mastitis, or as known to farmers, "garget." The disease attacks the uaders of cows and infected animals must be killed. The research workers, headed toy Dr. W. E. Peterson, believe that mastitis develops from a small organism-- but what organism still is a mystery to them.
