Cqrry a small camera in your pocket--you'll reap a reward m interesting pictures. »-pO get the most fun and £eneflt * from photography, you should have a camera that you can keep with you at all times Such a camera will enable you to seise upon a picture chance wherever you observe one--and. at the same time, having the camera handy will keep yon alert, so that you actually observe more snapshot opportunltlea. Up until a few years ago. most cameras were relatively bulky; but that is not the case today Modern folding cameras, even those taking rather large-sired pictures, are relatively compact; and many miniature cameras are so small and neatly built that they can be carried in a pocket or woman's purse without the least inconvenience. . The miniature camera Is an ideal choice for "everyday" use. It need not be an expensive model--in fact, it may be that a very inexpensive one will cover your needs. The chief advantage of the mediumpriced and finer deluxe cameras in this class is th»t they have fast lenses and fast gutters, so that pictures can be liken under adverse light conditions. Many of the better models can also be used for picture-taking in full color--an extremely valuable feature. It you buy a camera for pocket use. plan to keep It with you constantly-- not Just on weekends or during leisure hours Take it with you to work. Wafch for subjects on the street--such as the organ-grinder's monkey above. Carry the cawera when you go for an afternoon walk You'll get many an excellent picture, by this practice, that w©nH_ otherwise be lost. For everyday shooting, in blackand- white. load your "miniature** with a fine-grain panchromatic film, and your good shots will yield soperior enlargements. If your camera is a de luxe model with ultrafast lens, load it with a high speed panchromatic film; then you can get night snapshots in any welllighted room, and at many night sports events. And don't forget that you can make gorgeous color "shots" with it. Make "the small damera jrour "daily notebook" -- use It to Jot down the things you see in the everyday round. Street scenes, oddities. amusing occurrences, snaps of friends--theSe and many other types of pictures can be captured quickly with tl«H pocket camera, and they'll add interest to y#*. snapshot collection. John van Guilder FARM TOPICS CATTLE GRADE!) dN TWO TESTS Beef Type Is Rated by Body Measurements. Two simple body measurements of beef cattle--plus a record of feed consumed by the animal in reaching a certain weight--give the stockman a good picture of the qualities transmitted by the most important member of the herd--the sire. The two measurements are height at withers, and weight or heart girth. The measurements give the index to carcass quality and the feed record tells how efficiently the animal puts on weight. Together they make a record-of-performance test by which beef herd sires may be "proved." The herd owner knows whether or not the offspring of a " proved" sire are likely to make efficient gains and yield carcasses of good quality. The greatest drawback for such tests has been the lack of a simple method for determining carcass grades of test animals before, slaughter. Only trained cattle graders could do the job. The two-measurements method, which makes it possible for the farmer to do his own grading on the farm, was devised by Bradford Knapp Jr., animal husbandman of the United States department of agriculture, after studying weights, measurements, and grades of 167 slaughter steers, including Herefords, Shorthorns, Aberdeen-Angus, and steers of dairy breeding. The grade or score as determined by the two measurements for the most part tallied with the grade given the same animals by two competent graders. " Washington New Poultry-Keeper Needs Proper Start There are three economically sound ways to get- started in modern poultry keeping. The first and probably the most efficient method of getting started is to buy day-old chifcks from a recommended source during the early spring months. This involves the least capital Expenditure for stock, permits the beginner to obtain valuable experience while raising the chicks, and gives him time to acquire the information that will be needed to handle layers in the fall.„ The disadvantage of this method i$ that, aside from sale of surplus cockerels as broilers, there will be little income until the pullets mature to the egg laying stage, which they will reach at about 24 we4ks of age. The second method is to purchase ready-to-lay pullets during the later summer or early fall months. This usually means an increased capital investment, but does provide for almost immediate income. The third method is to purchase adult breeding stock in limited numbers at any desired time, and then from this stock produce chicks in season. The advantage of this method is that one may buy few but very high quality breeders and from a relatively small investment soon build up required numbers, gaining much in experience during the process. Washington, July 8--No thundering holiday oratory is sufficiently loud to mask the growing uneasiness among professional politicians and their camp followers over the fireworks which follow nominating conventions. The Congress, which re-assembled for a brief series of meetings only to recess for Independence Day, is torn between two deires--wanting to return home to ascertain real home sentiment by first-hand conferences and the recognition that their constituents expect them to stay on the job here to dispose of urgent legislative business. The nomination of Wendell Wilkie as the Republican Presidential candidate without the blessing or connivance of established partisan "machines" or bosses" has cast a black spell over lawmakers and others holding elective offices. They cannot decide whether it represents something new in grownd-swells from the people or just a freakish development in the realm of politics. The ascendancy of Willkie. a political unknown, to the dominant place in a major political party, has a harassing effect. The Republican stalwarts, who have heretofore regarded their new leader as a brash interloper, are anxiously awaiting the house-cleaning which is inevitable. The infusion of new blood in the G. O. P. high command means the retirement of many old wheel-horses from active management. The candidate has the privilege of designating a national chairman and other important officers of the Republican National Committee. He is considered too smart to attempt a wholesale "purge" despite the fac tional strife at the convention. Willkie has a huge task ahead in welding the dissenting groups whose bitter opposition was attributable to his recent conversion from the Democratic ranks and the fact that he was a rank outsider to politicos. Already his suddenly recruited army of volunteer advisers, who have attached themselves to the band-wagon, are striving for a united front. To a large extent they are placing their hopes in the surge of sentiment in the homo districts of the delegates to show the need of mutual appeasement. , personalities and. views of the two standard-bearers rather than the party platforms. It is argued that f£w voters bother to read the pledges embodied in the various planks, but they do follow the public declarations of the candidates. That is one reason for the failure of the Willkie boosters to express his appointment over the Philadelphia platform which, by the way, was the handiwork of G. O. P. "bosses." .While Democratic chiefs laughed scornfully at their rival's planks, the subsequent action of the convention in naming Willkie has forced them to recast some of their plans for the Chicago gathering on July 15. Firstly, they are not so certain now that Mr. Rposevelt will be a candidate for a third term. Secondly, the party campaigners have extracted some lessons from the experiences of their opponents which definitely revealed old concepts could be easily discarded under pressure of the folks back home. Unlike the Republicans, it is conceded that the Democratic camp-meeting will be highly organized primarily because as with any party in power the occupant of the White House is in a position to dominate. In addition, Mr. Roosevelt may decline the nomination, which is likely to be prof erred early in the sessions, but still retain his control over the choice of his successors and to the kind of platform which will be presented to the voters. This business of President-making takes people's mind off the war for a time. Some idea of problems other than military defense, which may follow the victories of the European dictator axis, is slowly sinking into the minds of polticians. A sample of the headaches ahead was supplied by Milo Perkin, Director of Marketing, Department of Agriculture, a day or two S P E E D Y ago when he pointed out that "domestic as well as foreign outlets for several hundred millions of dollars worth of farm products, conceivably may be lost during the coming year." Government offcials are faced with the possibility of "an abrupt termination of the conflict, with a consequent lessening of industrial activity in this country might result in serious surplus situations in connection with crop produced primarily for domestic consumption, because of curtailed buying power in our cities." Congress and the Administration may soon be required to determine policies to meet this new economic challenge. Experts are exploring a plan calling for "a huge cartel should be set up to handle all export surpluses of this hemisphere" on the theory "it would prevent the totalitarian nations from playing one country or"one business firm against another." Deais must be arranged with Latin American countries so that any surpluses which could not be moved fnto foreign trade might be distributed internally in both North and South America, thereby raising the living standards of the whole hemisphere. The statement is made officially that fourteen million persons are dependent directly or indirectly on the production of cotton. The significance of. this one item is realized when we are told "if we were to stop producing cotton for a foreign market, the country as a whole would inherit a bigger relief load than that now being carried by WPA." The whole subject of foreign trade illustrates the need for supplementing military with economic preparedness. U. S. Oil Consumption Thirty-six barrels of oil per family are needed annually to maintain present U. S. standards of living.

P. Fitch, of the University of Minnesota, says that "miraculous new medicines to cure and prevent Bang's disease" have been bobbing up frequently for many years. But it is very unfortunate, Fitch said, that so much attention should be paid to a remedy that is not known and has not betfti proved effective, by reliable experiments. "I am not fapiiliar with the par»= ticular compound referred to in that article. I am, however, familiar with the veterinary literature from Switzerland. I know that there ha^, been no mention made of any discovery of a cure for Bang's disease. To the best of our knowledge at the present time there isn't any cure for this disease. "The nature of Bang's disease S~ such that it is quite easy to be mistaken in regard to so-called cures. In my judgment it is a mistake to encourage people to believe that there are cures for this disease until they have been definitely proved by competent investigators." Blister Ailing Horses Blisters are the best remedies for curbs, wingdalls, spavins, and similar disorders of horses. A common blistering ointment for horses may be made of half an ounce of Spanish flies, an ounce of oil of turpentine, and four ounces of hog lard. Another good one may be made by thoroughly mixing two ounces of Spanish flies, with half an ounce of oil of origanum, one ounce of oil of turpentine, two ounces Of hog lard, and four ounces of comg&oa iar. on Fallen the nap te these S Electrified Fsnm...all arc within easy driving distance.
