MATURING BIRDS RE-

A t a recent conference attended by 200 Indiana health officers, a resolu-tion was adopted unanimously de-claring t ea t health officers and physi-cians should join in the campaign against alcohol. As a mat ter of fac t , health officiela ta many States a re al-ready engagod ta efforts to combat in-temperance by educational means, and ample justification fo r their activi-t ies ta this field is to be found ta tbe following facta :

A diminution ta the consumption of alcohoi by tbe community, accord-ing to those wbo are in a position to know and judge, would mean less tu -berculosis, less poverty, less depen-dency, and less pressure on our hos-pitals, asylums and jails. Intemper-a t e drinking cuts into the support of the family- The drinking of par-ents weakens the vitality of children. Drinking mothers lose twice as many babies as do sober mothers. More alcoholism is found ta tbe parents of feeble-minded children than ta tbe parents of mm i s I children. The children of drinkers develop* more •lowly and do poorer school work than do the children of abstainera. Al-cohol impairs tbe tone of the mua-f l f , lessens tbe product of laborers, depreciates tbe skill and endurance of artisans, impairs memory, multi-plies industrial accidents, causes chronic disease of th* hear t , liver, gtomacb and lodneys, increases ibe

One unsolvable problem is

Last year, Ju ly 1914, to June, 1915, we made 703,527 automobiles in Am-erica. And the industry is only 17 years old. Unlike the bicycle craze, £t isn ' t dying out. The automobile is no longer the plaything of the rich man. Folks on small pay a re buying more than the well to do fo r the price is get t ing down within the reach of alL

Of the 700,000 cars sold in the Uni-ted States las t year , the average price was $814. Eight years ago the average price was (2,123. But tha t year only 44,000 cars were marketed. The automobile today is knit t ing the coun-t r y together as the railroads united the remote set t lements 30 or 40 years ago. The growth of the motor car industry iB even more amazing, when when you stop to consider it.

Eighteen or 20 years ago, when the pioneers were experimenting with the first "horseless carriage," people laughed at them. They poked fun as the auto erase swept over the rich and near rich cf the nation.

Homer were mortgaged in order tha t families might have carB as ex-pensive as those of their wealthiest neighbors across the street. Ex-travagance was the order of the day— both ta buying cars and making them.

For every auto company had a meth-od of its own. There wasn' t a par t in any make t h a t would fit the com-ponent pa r t of another. Automobil-ing meant having a high-priced chauf-feur , really a mechanician, and if anything went wrong or broke it took days and weeks to get another par t f rom the factory.

Then somebody too a tumble to what was going on. Whether i t was Ford or Olds or somebody else mat-te rs little. Several makers saw tha t cheaper cars would have to be pro-duced—and tha t all m«":es would have to be standardized. Some firms tried to make cars a s low as $250. This seemed to be carrying things too f a r . These makes never were popu-lar. Standardization was born. Au-tomobile engineers designated stand-ard pari , so t h a t a motorist was not obliged to seek the nearest branch of his particular fac tory to get hi* car repaired.

Luxuries tha t wer t only in the highest-priced cars in 190C began creeping into the cars of moderate cost. This was made possible by group production—turning out many cars a t a time, instead of only one.

The good roads movement received its first g rea t impetus. Brick and ce-ment roads have been extended from the city limits f a r into the country, in many cases connecting large cities with pavements such as even the cit-ies did not have 15 years ago.

Values of f a rm3 have doubled and trebled in counties with improved highways, and the cost of hauling produce f rom the fa rm to the market has been pared to a minimum. Iy>ads of 8,000 pounds have been hauled on concrete roads whereas 800 pounds was the limit on the dirt roads they supplanted.

cant were lost through cold, exposure and smothering. I t must be be red, however, tba t the consumption of stores is greatly increased when-ever the bees are forced to pn themselves f rom the cold by excessive ] heat production. Insufficient insula-tion of the hives is, therefore, in all probability, an indirect cause of much of the loss at tr ibuted to s tarvat ion.

Next to starvation, poor honey and dy s ten ts ry a r e responsible f o r t h e ' largest winter losses. In 1914-15, 2.1 per cent of the colonies perished on this account. Like starvation and cold, tbis fac tor can be readily elimin-ated by a l i t t le care a t the proper time. Houeydew honey is a common cause of bee dysentary, and whenever this is present ta the fal l i t should be removed. Honey of a different character or sugar sirup may be sub- ; s t i tuted. Proper insulation will les- I Ben the amount of these stores tha t must be provided, but it is hardly pos-sible fo r the beekeeper to be lavish in this respect.

As was pointed out in the previous article, i t is also impossible to give the bees too much protection, and i t is very r a r e tha t they are given enough.

In the opinion of bee specialists, i t would be quite possible to reduce winter losses to less than 1 per cent by providing abundant stores and ab-undant insulation.

That proper insulation of the hives and an adequate supply of stores will greatly reduce the winter losses now suffered by beekeepers waa pointed out in an issue of this paper. Figures for the losses in the winter of 1914-15, compiled by the department of Ag-riculture now present additional evi-dence on this point.

For the ent i re country the average loss last winter was 12.6 per cent. The chief fac tor ta tbis being total starvation, to which was attributed the destruction of 33. per cent of the colon-ies. I t is not unlikely, however, tha t the actual loss was greater than this estimate, fo r many beekeepers who omitted to assign any reason for the death of their bees were probably reluctant to admit tha t their neglect of a simple procaution was responsible. By moderation in removing surplus

Inspectors of the department of agr icul ture in giving special attention to the heavy traffic in oysters dur-ing the holiday season, have found j ha t i t is the practice of some dealers

to add f resh water to shucked oysters in such a way as to greatly increase the size of the oysters. The oyster when brought in contact with fresh water f o r several hours will "dr ink" or absorb a considerable quantity of water and will increase in size in ex-act proportion to the amount of water which it "drinks." As oysters are usually sold by the pint or quart, any increase in their size due to the ad- | dition of water enables the dealer to ; fill the pint or quart measure with a j smaller number of oyeters. In ordci to increase the size, oysters must be ! soaked in f resh water or water tha t 1

is only slightly salty. They will] not "d r ink" enough of the salt water in which they are grown to increase materially in bulk; nor will oysters increase in bulk to any extent f rom j being washed in fresh water if they are allowed to remain for only the few . minutes necessary to cleanse them.

If 4 quar ts of oysters and 1 quar t | of f resh water are placed in a 5-quart 1

container and the mixture allowed to j stand fo r several hours, there will be a marked change in the appea-ance of ; the contents of the container. To the naked eye there will appear to be 5 quar t s of dry oysters, for the contain-er will be full and there will be li t t le of no water in sight, it being on the inside of the plump, succulent-look-ing oysters. Tue average purchaser has no means of detecting the addi-tion of water . The chemist, however, by determining the amount of water

j in the oyster and comparing i t with | the amount tha t an opster normally | contains, can readily detect the adul-terat ion.

The practice of increasing the bulk by tbe addition of water is not con-fined to shucked oysters. Some deal-ers float the oysters fo r several hours whil« yet ta the shell ta f resh water or water t ba t is much less salty than f b e wa te r in which the oysters were grown. During the process of float-ing, the oysters "drink" in f resh water and increase in weight and bulk in exact proportion to the amount of j water they drink or absorb, and thu» a medium-sized oyster may be in-creased to the size of a "select.

The addition of water to oysters lowers their food value, and such oysters are adulterated under section 7 of the Food and Drugs Act, which provides t b a t food is adulterated if

In one of our penitentiaries is a prisoner whose name is entered upon the records a s J o h n Nemo—John, " t h e nameless." In every prison are men serving their sentences under the fictitious name of John Doe, the law's name f o r an unknown, unidentified criminal.

There is an old saying which has come out to us f rom the dim past t ha t "a dollar saved is a dollar earned." This is a t ru ism, and yet it has an intei.sely negat ive side when we apply it to f a rm production.

To simply save a dollar in needed equipment or supplies or improve-ments by which mo*;e dollars coul<' be earned would be and is the utmost folly. But a dollar saved on the f a r m through the agencies of be t te r seed, f e t t e r culture, bet ter fer t i l iz ing spraying, harves t ing and market ing or in bet ter stock, be t te r labor saving machinery, and more f a rm efficiency as a whole is a dollar made. And wiiere good management and business j judgment has been the means of earn- j ing tha t dollar t h e dollar thus earned oa the f a r m is not represented by its intrinsic value of one hundred cents but the value of t ha t dollar secured in such a way is beyond the power of any individual t o estimate. Such a dollar has back of i t knowledge, abil-ity, wisdom and an intelligent com-prehension ->f many possibilities by which, t h a t dollar can be employed with which to reduce the 'cost of pro^ duct ion per unit , while a t the same t ime the number of units are increas-ed.

I t resolves itself then into this pro-position t h a t a dollar can only be said to be Baved on t h e f a r m so tha t it has a value other t han i ts basic value, and in th '8 view i t s earning power is great ly increased.

I t is proverbial t h a t the f a rmer is a g rea t spender, bu t i t is also equally t rue tha t taken a s a whole he is a judicious spender. Fur thermore when he is prosperous, h e i» a g rea t con-sumer of products other than those he himself prduces. In this way, again is to be seen t h e power of the dollar he has produced.

The shif t less f a r m e r does not have many dollars to spend and therefore he cannot invest in labor saving de-vices for the f a r m or secure improved f a r m equipment, be t te r stock, bet ter and more valuable scops a re produced a t less cost of production.

The contras t between the earning power of the dollar in the possession of intelligent progressive f a rmers and the shif t less f a r m e r s is very g rea t , while the basic va loe of the dollar* do not differ in tha least .

The earn ing power of the dollar depends upon how i t is used. This on the f a r m means tha t the proper use would be, no t to cultivate more acres than wha t could be given the very best a t ten t ion tha t a man's abil-ity and faci l i ty will permit. I t means tha t every known agency employed in modern agr icul ture must be ap-plied. More crops mus t be produced

when analyzed ia found tha t unit coat, of production has been duced to the rnimimum and the m a r -ketable character of the product haa reached a very high standard of value.

M. L. Howard of Benton Harbor , Michigan, produces larger r e tu rns f rom a single apple tree than t h e average acre of the apple orchards of the s ta te .

Marke t gardening by intensive in-tar-cropping removes f rom 4 to 6 crops a year f rom a single acre. A mail carr ier in Pennsylvania, specializes in Danish Bald Head cabbage. He oc-cupies his spare t ime when off duty . H e buys the highest grade fer t i l izers and applies them liberally. He culti-va tes thoroughly, uses selected pedi-gree seeds and sets only s trong vigor-ous p lan ts and secures almost incred-ible yields of the very highest quali ty cabbage, which commands special high pr ice on the market .

M. L. Reutenik of Cleveland, Ohio, is a le t tuce grower, as a side line to let tuce h e grows some celery which yields him $100 per acre.

IIull Bros, of Waymar t , Pa., a r e •celery specialists, they have only th ree acres of land, but f rom this smal l f a r m the i r re turns are grea te r than f rom f a r m s of 100 acres surrounding.
