A request from the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood for permission to instal a gas pump on the street in front of their warehouse was refused, the fire marshall having stipulated that permission be refused for any further gas stations on the public highway. The water and light committee reported that the government meter inspector was inspecting a portion of the meters, and also that a portion of the firehall was put ln proper condition to house the fire truck during the cold weather. Permission was granted to the cemetery committee to inclose the portion Of land adjoining the fraternal ceme- tries as an extension for the city cemetery. A by-law was read making provision for the right-of-way for fire truck when answering fire calls. The by-law was given three readings. Prairie Fruit and * Vegetable Market CALGARY, Oct. 18—Dry, cool weather prevails at all prairie points. Threshing almost completed. The repeat orders on Mac. apples have slackened and Jonathans have not made their appearance ln quantity Cold storage prunes from Washington, •re in demand and Solway peaches •too from Washington are on this market. Flemish Beauty pears are scarce Vegetables of all kinds excepting onions, are scarce. Firm prices for loca? turnips, beets and carrots of $50.00 per ton is asked. Onions are draggy on sale Field cucumbers and tomatoes are over In the interior of B.C. The only field tomatoes aro coming from the odast, some of these are badly marked. The continued dry weather on the prairies aggravates the feed situation and shortage will be experienced before the winter is over. Whether the shortage will be great or small will depend on the severity and length of the winter. CALGARY WHOLESALE PRICES TO RETAIL British Columbia Apples— • Mcintosh, box fancy 2an .

Earnings of Granby Company Improving TORONTO, Oct. 14.—In the third quarter of the year, earnings of Granby Consolidated Company compare favorably with record-breaking earnings of the second quarter. Net Income applicable to dividends for that period will reach, about $1, 125,000, equal to $2.50 a share. This will compare with $894,998, or $1.98 a share in the 1928 quarter. This will bring the total for the first nine months to $3,230,178, equal to $7.18 a share, or 82 cents within the year's dividend requirements of $8 a share.

The reduction ls sought so as to help the growers ln British Columbia who have at least 150 cars of onions more than they can sell on the prairies to move them to Ontario, where the crop is said to be short and where the demand may be unless the tranportatlon companies assist. PRAYER 18 THOUGHT Certain thoughts are prayers: it matters not what the attitude of the body may be. There are times when the soul is kneeling. By ERWIN GREER President Greer College T is in the field of miscellaneous flying—stunting, sightseeing, cotton dusting, photographic, instruction, etc.—that the great bulk of accidents occur. However, it cannot be declared offhand that the accident rate in this group Ik gi eater than in scheduled flying, for there are no figures to the number of piiot3 engaged, number of flights made or mileage flown to check against. The record of 977 accidents in mi3i:e".aneous flying last year, with the loss of'141 pilots and 202 passengers, therefore, does not indicate the extent, if any, to which this sort of flying ls more hazardous. There is a very definite difference between scheduled operation of aircraft over fixed routes, and miscellaneous flying, Clarence Young, director of aeronautics, department of commerce, points out. In the case of the former, the pilot is a known quantity —he can take care of himself in practically every ssituation where the human brain is a factor; he is afforded every protection which can be devised to assist him, both before the flight in the form of weather reports and during the trip in the form of beacons, radio reports of weather conditions ahead, intrmedlate landing fields fur uso in emergencies, etc. The sufficiency of this type of operation is proven by the fa-it that more than 92 per cent of the srheduled bights yere completed last year. That means • that trouble was encountered in less than one tn twelve flights, and not alyays, of course, does "trouble' mean accident. It includes, amon^ other things; abandonment of the flight because of weather conditions that cannot be surmounted, or a failure ln equipment, which necessitates landing, which usually is accomplished safrf v If figures were available for rail road of steamship accidents dating back to the time when those two industries were in the same phase of development as aviation ls today, it is contended, the great cause for surprise would be, not the high accident rate of the airplane, but the amazing safety as compared with the locomotive or paddle-wheel steamer of seventy five years ago. Three Great Projects VANCOUVER Oct. 15—Fifty million dollars of new money will be invested in this province during the next six years by the B.C. Power Corporation Limited, lt was disclosed here co- day in the company's annual report. Development plans include expen diture of $20,000,000 at Ruskln, where 47,qp0 horsepower will be ready within a year. Large sums are being spent on work at Bridge river, which ultimately will produce 750,000 horsepower The Great Water tunnel from Bridge river to Seton lake, 100 miles north of Vancouver, on the P.G.E. is now 70 per cent completed. Other large sums will be expended on development at Campbell river and Vancouver I Will Press Expenses of "Bouks" VICTORIA, Oct. 15—While the Federal Government has ruled that the cost of enforcing law among Canadian Doukhobors is a matter entirely for the provinces, British Columbia will not abandon its efforts to secure federal assistance in paying the heavy expenses entailed ln handling recent disturbances around Nelson. Further negotiations will be carried on In an effort to convince the Dominion that the Doukhobors, brougnt here by the federal authorities, to be settled in Dominion territory, have created a new and distinct problem. While the province has no intention of evading the cost of ordinary law enforcement, it was stated officially today, it feels that the Dominion should pay for the upkeep of Doukhobors in Oakalla Jail, in large numbers at present. A detailed bill of costs running into many thousands of dollars will be submitted to Ottawa shortly. Co-operating with British Columbia Saskatchewan will submit a similar bill for to expense ot subduing fanatical Doukhobors there. When officials go to Ottawa shortly to close the railv/ay land transfer, it is expected the Doukhobor question will be fully dlscussc.l and settled. the rest of the world receives for 108,- 795 tons, considerably less than half I way were the first tests' ever "made"7n that amount.. the Yakima Valley, show that even Taking a mean average value perl prunes picked at a 13 lb. pressure test ton for the various producing coun- do not develop the best market aual- tries concerned, the fact is very foroi- -'" "*"* "•-' -*— blq bdought out that where Canada gains in quantity, she loses ln quality, and moreover, on taking an average value per ton on the world's total production, it amounts to $76.07 per ton, which Is almost double the amount paid to Canada per average ton.

Northrup couldn't find anything in the law that permit, ted him to make the Innocent half of a Siamese twin combination suffer with the guilty half, the judge dismissed charges against Lucio Godlno. The astonished policeman took Lucio to jail in spite of the protest of Simplicio Godlno, the other half of the combination. In court the innocent brother told the judge that he wasn't guilty and didn't think he should be jailed or fined, because his brother was driving the automobile. Total 381,828 $21,118,621 $76.07 The asbestos. industry is of growing importance to Canada, so that the sooner a clear representation of the facts is brought to the attention of the people, the better. From the above figures, it can readily be seen that Canada has by no means a monopoly on asbestos as has been consistently believed by many for a number of years. Competition, and very strong competition by virtue of a better fibre is being produced beyond the confines of Canada so that every means should be taken to protect Canadian interests. . .The obvious solution to_ the problem can be briefly listed under three headings—tariff protection, greater efficiency through lower production costs and consistent exhaustive research for new methods of refining and new uses for the short fibre, which constitutes the greater part ot Canadian production. In this latter respect the Dominion and Provincial Governments have devoted considerable attention already and lt is hoped that their efforts, combined with the various Canadian asbestos interests, will enable them to show more promising figures for their next report.

In the entire state this year. Next year, if we put across a 13 lbs. test, we wlll have made wonderful progress in a period of a very few years. I believe that most oi the growers and shippers of of prunes now realize that they must give heed to quality or quit entirely. Equalization of Prone Supply And Demand MOSCOW, Idaho, Oct.14—"A way has been found to equalize the prune supply and relieve over-production. The university of Idaho's agricultural experiment station has found by study of prune storage in he Boise Valley for two years that the Italian prune can be stored at a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit and held long en- prune shipments can be made duiing the picking season, and over-production can be avoided by extending the normal shipping period slightly the experimenters said. The storage of prunes should be looked on as a measure of stabilizing the markets by regulating shipments in accordance with the suply and demand, lt was pointed out. If the price prevailing at the time of picking is sufficient to assure a reasonable margin of profit through immediate sale, it is said, storage probably would not be recommended. The added cost, greater risk in speculation, and the danger of placing an Inferior product on the market would not be advisable, experimenters declared."— Interior Committee of Direction. ARRANGEMENT OF HAIR MARKS CHINESE WIFE It ls customary ln occidental lands for a married woman to wear a gold band on the third finger of her left hand. Not so In China. You know a married woman in China by the way her hair is trimmed above her brow. Usually on the night before the wedding friends of the bride trim her hair. It is sometimes clipped and shaved, but in most cases the hair is removed with two twisted threads. lThese threads are rolled over the forehead with, the fingers, the twist of the thread extracting the hair and giving the forehead a square appearance. If you can imagine what you would look like If your hair above the forehead were removed, leaving a o'earing of, say, four inches long and one inch wide, you will have soma idea'of what the Chinese married woman's head is like. After the marriage this must, be done at intervals to keep the shape present. Doukhobor Fanatics in Oakalla Jail Stage Short Hunger Strike PALO ALTO, Cal. Oct. 15.—Chief F. W.

Pooley, attorney general is out of town, and there was no Information available at his office. More than 100 of the Sons of Freedom sect of Doukhobors are serving six months at Oakalla. They were sentenced at Nelson after a conviction on charges arising out of a nude parade which they staged at South Slocan some time ago. Because of the belief that the souls of ancestors are transferred to the children, Eskimo natives do not punish their offspring. One can accept new ideas in such numbers as to drive out all his time- tried convictions. If some people were to think twice before speaking they would never say anything.

C. Office: Columbia Avenue and Lake Street FRIDAY OUTOMLK 18 I'.iiifl NOTES, NOTIONS & NOTABLES THE man who thinks ho is too old to work at sixty-one might profit by the example of Halley, the great English astronomer who discovered the comet. When Halley was sixty-four years old he made up his mind to observe the moon through a complete revolution of her nodes—a task which required eighteen years. His friends remonstrated with him undertaking so long and serious a task btu, as sometimes happens with our English friends, he thought his own ideas much better. He proceeded to prove this by living and completing his eighteen-year task, and then lived several more years and did several more pieces of work to boot. and used clam shells for earring. The warrior decorated himself vith the teeth of bears, one human skeleton found having teeth from twelve bears. In one mound was found a human jawbone and the jawbone of a dog, drilled,,apparently worn around the neck as an amulet. National trade was used by the mound builders to secure mollusk shells from Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. These probably came by way of the southeast, passing from tribe to tribe, until they reached the Indians in Illinois, who prized them highly. These early Indians had no domesticated animals. A few skeletons of Indian dogs have been found in the mounds. These probably were brought ln by barter from British America. THERE Is some doubt as to how the names of the seasons originated. Spring Is from the Anglo-Saxon "spring" meaning "a source of water, a springing, a rising or leaping" probably in reference to the coming out of young shoots at this time of year. Summer is from the Sanskrit "sama," meaning "year," Autumn ls from the Latin "autumnus'— perhaps connected with "augere," past participle "auctus," meaning "increase" autumn being the season of produce. Winter is from the Gothic "wintris"; probably originally meaning the "snowy time." ACCORDING to a Russian scientist there is a ceria rhythm lo the movements of the human eye as well as to those of the heart. It roves back and forth at the rate of aabout 100 movements per minute. Under normal conditions—that is, in quiet, familiar surroundings—the eyes remain at rest for a few seconds. But they resume their usual movements, sometimes from one side to another, sometimes up and down. It is believed by evolutionists that this characteristic restlessness of the eye is a throwback to primitive times when man's ancestors had to be con. stantly on the watch for danger. f\N the Great North road, in England, stands a very an- ^cient and historical inn, known as the "Eight Bells," and this Inn is the cause of much disturbance among the local inhabitants because of the likelihood of its being closed down. This old inn has many historicalfacts attached to lt, and, among others, Dick Turpin i ssaid to have made fre quent calls at the "Eight Bells" during his famous rides be tween London and York. Another famous rider, according to local report, was Bill Sikes, WHEN the Daily Courant, London's first successful daily newspaper, appeared in 1702, it consisted of a single page of two columns and professed to give only foreign news. It assured Its readers that it would not give any comments of its own, "supposing otherpeople to have sens. enough to make reflections for themselves." The Courant came to an end in 1735, when it was absorbed by the Daily Gazeteer. THE ancient tradition common among all primitive peoples of a world-wide flood is now thought by scientists to have been sound. The cause of the ocean's rise may have been the melting of the Ice-cap at the North pole at the end of the last Ice age, which occurred about 20,000 years ago. According to Sir Edgeworth David, famous Australian geologist, the level of the entire ocean would be raised about fifty feet if the whole Antarctic ice barrier melted. Practically every seaport town would then be under water. MOST of our funeral customs go back to primitive times when it was believed that there was danger to all except priests who had to do with a corpse, and death witchery was accepted without question. Some primitive peoples destroyed everything associated with a funeral, even going so far as to tear down the house ih which .the death occurred. Some of these customs have survived as marks of respect for the departed, as has the practice of removing all ornaments and ceasing all activities marking the ordinary pursuits of life. In some churches altars are stripped on Good Friday in observance of the anniversary of the crucifixion of Christ. There is a tradition in some communities that the clock stops when there is a death in the household.

The prizes to be awarded ln 1928 will each amount to $46,192, according to a report issued by auditors of the Nobel foundation, while those for 1928 were $41,937 apiece. The proceeds from the main fund are calculated at $342,100 per annum at the present time, one-tenth of that amount being compounded with the principal. The remainder of the fund is placed at the disposal of the prize committee, one quarter of the amount being allowed for general expenses and the balance for prizes. This gives a new meaning to the old saw, "The higher the branch, the sweeter the cherries," and those vtno are disappointed in the prize awards one year mas content themselves with the thought that they may receive a very substantial reward for their patience. THE rose is aid to have originated in Persia. It was used as a medicine and as a food by the ancients, and the Chinese still serve rose fritters at their New Year's feast. By the Romans this flower was regarded as the symbol of silence as well as of love, and Its name Is a variation of the word Eros, the name of the god of love. In Rome it was used as an emblem of victory, of triumphant love and of pride and pomp. By long association it was regarded as pagan, and after founding of Christianity it was, therefore ln disgrace. Its beauty, however, was Irressistible, and it soon became the flower of Christian martyrdom and the symbol of divine love, being used In sacred paintings along with the lily. Martin Luther took a rose for his official seal, and lt is glorified in the writings of Dante. Today it stan is for beauty throughout the world. TENDER turkey, duck, racy venison and* 'possum, frog legs, and even the French delicacy of snails were relished by tho early mound builders of central Illinois. That the mound builder knew his meats and used them in great variety is indicated by the bones found in recently excavated mounds. Beaver, squirrel, raccoon, geese, clams and fish were all on the menu. Tools as well as food weie furnished by animals. The sharpened bones of deer were especially useful for such things as awls, chisels, scraperd and needles. A large mollusk shel fastened to a handle made an excellent hol.

The instances are many where even after her emancipation she remained with the family to which she had belonged to succeeding generations. She not only waited on "Old Miss" during life and closed her eyes when she fell asleep in death, but she was present at the birth of all the children and helped to rear Them, and mayhap to perform the same office for the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. When "Youn Miss" was married Mammy usually exercised her preroga tive of being the first to kiss the bride and Mammy's os- culatoiy evidence not only was sincere and genuine, but it was regarded as good luck. Often Mammy's own "white folks" became financially embarrassed and lost everything, but Mammy did not desert them. On the other hand, she Invariably stuck to them through thick and thin and was willing to share any reverses to which they might be subjected, Hers was a devotion that was strong and lasting. Her "white folks" might for jive an enemy, but mammy never forgot or forgave one who had wronged any of her people. Often she took the family name with which she was so long indentlned and in death many of the old-time black mammies sleep in the family burial plot ln a grave reserved for them. In many graveyards the epitaph on her tombstone bears wit. ness to the fidelity of some negro mammy. "A! Joseph Lobel, in "Don't Be Afraid," "has characterized fear . . a; 'domestic sport.' Just as In various games we expose ourselves to danger, knowing with certainty that we shall es cape, just as we enjoy the pleasant ticklish feeling that ensues as a result of this combination of sensations, 'so, says he, 'we often create for ourselves, out of a pure desire for sensation, the pleasantry of dread."Tt is not man alone who sets out to learn how to shudder. The mother who sits on the couch anxiously awaiting her boy's return from school, is doing the same thing. She surrenders herself to feelings of anxiety and pictures his fallen into the water. In reality, she feels nothing of the kind Otherwise she would have rushed long ago to the water instead of sitting quietly on the couch, indulging pleasantly, ln feelhis of ap. prehension. But picturing to herself all the dangers into which her son may have fallen, she ls unconsciously enjoy ing herself. Out of the everyday, monotonous home-coming of her youngster, she has created a dramatic event. She will welcome hi mwith a sigh of relief and happiness when he crosses the threshold just as she had realy been expect, ing him to arrive, safe and sound." SUNSHINE, the great cure-all and llfe-glver, is a paradox in one case at least. Through the medium of Uie geranium it spells death to insects.. Insects which are at. tracted by the leaves of this beautiful plant feast upon them and then drop paralyzed and usually die. Where the sun comes in is indicated by the fact that the deadllness of the poison depends upon the amount of exposure to the sun of the plant, those of longest exposure being the dead liest. This discovery has opened up a new field in the stud]; of insecticides, and ekperiments are being pushed to de< termlne what the death-dealing agent may be, ONE of the strangest of the many fantastic tricks lightning flashes play is the "fulgurite," which is sometimes found on the sands of a beach. It ls a tube of a glassy substance, projecting above the ground like a stump of a bush. Beneath the sand it is often several feet long, with many branches and twists, much like a root. It is caused by a direct stroke of lightning, the tremendous heat of which fuses the wet sand into a hollow glass tube. Another odd prank of lightning was the bolt which tore the clothes from a man's back without killing him. His perspiration apparently had been instantly transformed into steam by the mighty electric current. The mlnature explosion blew off his clothes.

C. TELEPHONE CO Health Service OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION BIPHTHERIA IMMUNIZATION ■~N IPHTHERIA is not a new dis- ■ j ease. For many beneratlons lt s\\\\\y has been known and recovnized. It has been . a frequent visitor, indeed almost a constant dweller ln our midst, and year by year, lt has taken a toll of human life and left a trail of damaged bodies. As we say, diphtheria, this disease, is not new hut the means which we have to combat this scourpe are, fortunately, uy-to-date and successful. We are Indeed in the happy position of belnp able to overwhelm our enemy and of making diphtheria one of the rarest disease, thus entirely removing one danger from the journey of life. Immunity or resistance is that power which the body acquires when it recovers from the attack of a communicable disease. The person who has suffered from diphtheria has, ln his body, certain forces which enable him to ward < off this particular disease, and we siy ithat he is immune to diphtheria. Thut is yhy second attacks of the disease e-ldom occur. Diphtheria immunization is the term used to, describe the procedure by which we may obtain immunity or protection ' against diphtheria, witho.it running the risk of death or bodily harm o which an attack of the disease exposes us. The method is simple, safe nnd reliable On thres nr.asionr, at stated intervals, a small quantity of diphtheria oxold <s injectod under to skin. This toxoid has the power to stimulate the body to produce its defensive forces against diphtheria. When three .loses have been g.'vpn at the proper lnte.-vals, the results hiive shown that over ninetv-five percent, of the persons so treated are Immune to diphtheria. Because diphtheria is a disease of early childhood, and because vcrv few young children experience any "reaction from the injections, it ls Urged that all children, from six months to six years of age, be immunized. The toxoid for immunisation can be readily secured from the family physician who will give to Infections. Questions, concerning health, addressed to the Canadian Medical association, 184 College street, Toronto, will be answered personally by letter.

THE SUN: GBAND FORKS, BRITISH COLtTMBIl Ask for Salada Orange Pekoe—it is the finest lAat^Ml 'Fresh from the gardens' Two Indian States SUN'S WEEKLY TRAVELOGUE AMONG the multiplicity of provinces and states in India, two stand out as more familiar than their fellows to Wes ern ears— the Punjab and Hyderabad. Although the Punjab was one of the last districts to come under British control, lt has long been noted for it? progressive viewpoint and modem activities. It is a vast agricultural statr built on irrigation, the dry climate of its plains making farming possible only where canals lead Himalyan river waters into th; fields. There are seven of these great streams which flow from mountain snow fields down over the hot dry. plains. Of these the Indus and the Jumna, a branch of the Ganges, form the two outer limits of the province. Between them are the five fingerlike tributaries of the Panjnad. from which the district received its name. The word Punjab comes from an old Persian compound meaning "five waters/' Punjab province is shaped like a letter "W" whose top extends far into the hill country which forms the north of India, and whose left leg drops into the great desert. Between these two extremes lie the plains for which the province Is famous. On their ini&ated surface crowds 25,000,000 people. The Punjab ls one of to few parts of India where Mohammedans greatly outnumber the Hindus. It Is also the homeland of the Sikhs, that tall and swarthy race who police so much of the British empire. The great variety of racial and religious types in the province, its nearness to the border, and the fact that Simla, India's official summmer capital, lies in its hills, combine to give the district great romantic interest. Historic Lahore, the provincial capital beside the river Ravi, is celebrated among the cities of India for its heat in summer and cold in winter. Early In May government officials retreat to the hills for the duration of to hot season, Amritsar, the holy city of the Sikhs, is built around an artificial lake. Its bazaars are famed for Kashmir shawls and oriental rugs. Either of these two Punjab cities might have sprung full grown from some Eastern fairy- tale. Their sky lines give the impression of stage scenery and their streets are perpetual pageantS'Of movement and color. * Delhi and Simla. Delhi, to capital of the Indian empire, lies in a federal district cut out from Punjab territory. Thu old city on the riverJumna was capital of the ancient Mogul empire of India and boasts some of the moss beautiful mosques and palaces in the world. Like Lahore, however it Is famed lor its summer heat, and to English seek early refuge from the sun in the Simla hills. The viceroy and his government al family conduct their official duties at air elevation of 7,000 feet during the hot season. It is to beautiful Simla, high amid the pines and cedars of the foothills, that Anglo-India retreats from the heat of the plains. At Simla, wrote Kip ling "all things begin and many come to an evil end." High up the mountain side on terrace upon terrace the pleasant cottages ot the Anglo-Indians stretch. Roads and bridle paths wind among the fir trees beside the English church and cricket grounds. Only troops of monkeys, swinging from tree to tree, speak of India. SImia, to tho Englishman, ls a bit of home. This gay resort is a different world from the plains below which stretch mile upon mile the farming villages that make .up the Punjab, stlbing hot in summer, freezing cold ln winter, depending for their livelihood'upon irrigation. Part of this- vast region is *oyerned by native rulers, Uke the Ma harajab, of Patiala, while part ls un ier British control. Both sorts of government have aided in the building of roads' and canals and In the establishment of schools to relieve the lot of the dense population crowded between the "five waters." The Sikhs, number fewer than 9 per cent of the 25,000,000 crowded into this wheat field area of India. Hyderabad with its 82,700 square miles is the greatest of the Indian states in area. The ruler is the Nizam, and the state is often referred to as "the Nizam's dominions" as lt is by name. Politically, Hyderabad is of great importance. The Nizam is the highest ranking Mohammedan prince of India, and his dominions are the heart of Moslem feeling and activity for the whole peninsula. Yet, by one of the strange quirks common in Indian affairs, the 11,000,000 subjects of this ruler are predominantly of the Hindu faith. Hyderabad Almost Independent. The state of Hyderabad has a status not easily defined. The British em- >ire, through its aspect, the Indian empire, takes care of all foreign relations, and the Nizam undertakes to furnish certain troops for empire defence; but otherwise the state is almost as independent as Afghanistan or Persia. The public finances oj the state have often been in bad shape'; but the Nizam's private wealth is tremendous. Doubtless that is to be expected, for before Hyderabad received its present name it was to kingdom of Golconda—a name which has become oynsnym for fabulous wealth From a Golconda diamond mine it is said, came the Koh-in-or, perhaps the most famous huge diamond in the world. Hyderabad city, capital of the state, and chief residence of the Nizam, has a population of half a million and ir the fourth city of India. Most of the habitations were once mud huts; but during the past quarter century, many have-been rebuilt with brick. The Ni- iam's palaces, those of nobles, and numerous government buildings, all of stone, add to the appearance of the city. In the exact center of the walled area rise four lofty minarets, spaced in a quadrangle, dominating the sky line. From these towers four broad streetB run to the four quarters of the city. Over each one, a short way from the towers, ls a huge arch. The minarets are not connected with a mosque, but at a little distance from them is one of the largest temples of the Moslem world, Mecca mosque. Under the huge twin domes of this structure 10,000 of the followers of the Prophet may assemble. In size, the Nizams' dominions are almost equal to Kansas; and as ln that state some regions are comparatively . dry. Kansas would have to be moved o southern Mexico, however, in order to lie in latitudes corresponding to those of Hyderabad. ..

ODIOUS DUTY FALLS TO GYPSIES IN BULGARIA When judges in Bulgaria condemn a criminal to death, the prison officials go out on the highways and wait until they see a troop of wandering gyp. sies strolling along. Any of the gypsies will take the job with a light heart and a grateful "Thank you, sir." For the gypsies are the executioners of Bulgaria. They came into the limelight in such a role in 1925, when a small colony of persons convicted of treason were sentenced to death. Two gypsies put in a good eight hours a day with the sack and rope, implements of the hangman's trade. Since then, although no Bulgraian can be found to accept the permanent post of executioner, the prison warden has Uttle difficulty getting men to perform the disagreeable duty.

MILKING MACHINE NEEDS CLEANING Equipment to clean the milking machine is as essential for successful operation as is the vacuum pump, according to James D. Brew, of the New York State College of Agriculture. Bacteria get into milk largely from unclean utensils, but with the' proper equipment a milking machine may be cleaned as efficiently as a milk pail and with little more work. After every milking period, draw through each unit at least a gallon of clean cold water, lifting the test cups up and down in order to allow the water and air to rush alternately through the rubber parts into the pail. Do this immediately after milking because to allow the units to stand even for a short time permits the milk to dry, makes the machine more difficult to clean, and increases the possibility of excessive bacterial growth. Follow the cold water at once by drawing through each unit at least one gallon of scalding water; the hotter the better. A handful of good washing powder increases the efficiency of the hot water. It is this water which removes thd grease-like material that collects on the surface of milk utensils. This grease-like material furnishes food for bacterial growth, and if it is not removed it renders any attempt to sterilize of little or no value. A fresh supply of cold and hot water should be used for each of the three rinsings. Scrub the metal and rubber parts of the machine with brushes after each use. The rubber parts may be disinfected either by Immersion in water which is then heated to at least 170 derees Fahrenheit and allowed to stand, covered until the next milking period, or by Immersion in a hypochlorite solution. SOURCE OF ROPY MILK IS TRACED TO IMPURE WATER Too often the water supply on many of our dairy farms consists of stagnant pools and marshy creeks, which are not only a source of supply likely to limit the daily consumption but may also be the cause of ropy milk. The ropy milk bacteria are found in stagnant water, and cows wading through such places collect dirt on their udder and banks which falls Into the pail at milking time. Here, conditions are ideal for bacteria to grow and multiply, and in a few hours the milk exhibits a ropy appearance. Cows watered from a trough or tank on the other hand, avoid dirt and there is less danger of contaminating the milk Naturally cows in milk have need for mare water than dry stock and young stock, but these, too, need a regular supply, and more In hot weather. The water supply ln outlying' pastures should be inspected at regular intervals. Water is just as necessary for body functions as food. In fact, animals can survive longer without food than they can without water. The summer water supply on the dairy farm is of first importance and needs to be well looked after.. B. C.

LOW PRODUCTION Some men feel that only cows with high-production records will pay for care and attention to proper feeding. This is one of the fallacies in feeding which is responsible for the small improvement that ls made in the average rations fed to dairy cows. It is true that poor cows will not pay returns on exceedingly high-priced feeds when, butterfat prices are low. On the other hand the increased production of average cows will usually pay good returns on the additional feeds that are required to balance up the ration properly. Men who continue to follow the Idea of giving their cows poor ration try to console themselves with the fallacy that while their cows are less productive, it does not cost so much to feed them and therefore the net returns are greater. Accurate records kept on farms by cow testing associations prove that the herds that cost the least to feed are usually not the most provtable. The reason is apparent, as cows ln such herds do not receive enough feed in addition to what they require for maintenance to produce to their maximum capacity. FEED OF CALF If possible the calf should be left with its mother two or three days so it may have the colostrum or first milk. The next two weeks it should receive only its mother's milk at the rate of twelve pounds of mUk per day for one hundreds pounds of live weight of the calf. The calf will do much better if this milk is fed In three feedings than If fed twice a day. After two weeks a gradual change can be made until it is receiving the same amount of mixed milk from the herd. were turned on at four o'clock ln the morning and remained on until daybreak. One hundere pullets were used. These were divided equally as to general development, weight and breeding into two pens of 50 each. All conditions were made similar except that the one had these extra hours of light to work. Over a five-year period the pen on lights produced on the average 3966 eggs at a cost of 2b cents per dozen in the six months; while the pen without lights produced 3671 eggs at a cost of 22 cents per dozen. This gives an an advantage of about 300 eggs for the pen on. lights and at a reduction in cost of 2 cents per dozen. During two of the years covered by this experiment the test was continued until October 31, making the complete year. In the two year average un the whole year, the pen with lights laid fewer eggs than the pen without lights. From the figures obtained to date it would appear as though lights have an effect on the unmber of eggs laid during the winter months, when the eggs are highest ln price, but on the other hand they do not seen to materially alter the total number obtained for the whole year. THE LAYING HOUSE IN WINTER Now that the time for winter housing of the pullets is at hand it is well to realize just what la necessary to fulfil the requirements for greatest results in profitable returns, Pullets to give maximum results must r. „ only be well bred and well fed, they must be comfortably housed, which means that the house must be draughts, and bright and cheery. Such a house properly furnished to allow the maximum of unobstructed floor space is a satisfactory foundation on which to start the season's work. To assure such conditions see that there are no leaking roofs, that all MENACE OF CODLING MOTH The Department of Agriculture is out to see that the codling moth is not' coddled any more. It ls time that it be' taken seriously. Estimates now are that at least'20 per cent of the crop of apples and pears of the Pacific northwest are lost each year through! the destruction wrought by the worms of the moth. In individual cases the loss runs as high as 50 per cent. The moth is nothing if not prolivc. Two generations are produced each year during the. growing season.

ANTS AID PROSPECTORS One way of prospecting ln New Mexico ls by examining the character of the anthills encountered ln the mountain and their vicinity. Any mineral content ot the land, ls likely to be revealed by the piles of soil brought to 1 the surface by the ants, which often reach rather considerable depths in with explorations under the surface, will reveal the character of the material to be found immediately below and in this manner finds of great value have been made.
