DIPPING VATS
(Continued from page 1)
the vats were from 7 to 9 feet wide
and large enough to hold 10,000 gal
lons of dipping solution. A number
of them were equipped with flj
screens to trap the horn-flies; and
electric lighting systems were provid
ed to permit dipping at night- The
outfits were regulated so that each ol
them was dipping continuously."
No Chaace Left For Failure
"Realising that every head of cat
tle must be dipped regularly every
two weeks, and that there must be no
opporftunitly for reinfestation, these
four outfits went to work in April,
1922, with a determination to do the
job well from the start Nothing was
left to chance, and no loopholes were
left for the ticks. When bad weather
or other cause delayed operations at
some vat and threatened to spoil the
14-day schedule, that outfit dipped
at night until they caught up with
their program. Range-riders guarded
the roads which passed through the
ranch, and when an outsider came
through with a horse, his permit was
demanded to show that his horse was
tick-free, and if he failed to produce
it, his horse was dipped before he
could pass on.
"At each division, when the dipping
had been completed, all of the hones,
including the saddle horses used in
rounding up the cattle, were dipped
and turned out into the pasture, and
the outfit was moved to the next div
ision in a truck and cars
"Although no ticks were found on
the cattle after mid-summer, all four
outfits kept ^t work during the win
ter, dipping at 14-day intervals, to
make sure that every tick was exter
minated."
Cct $100,000?Worth a Million
"One year after dipping began on
the ranch, the job was done, and
State and Federal dipping officials
satisfied themselves that there was
not a live tick on the entire ranch.
Mr. Welder showed a veterinarian of
the Bureau of Animal Industry some
3-year-old steers which had been dip
ped every 14 days for a year. They
were fat and in fine condition, ready
for market. Mr. Welder stated that
prior to ousting the ticks he had nev
er been able to fatten steers of that
age, but had had to keep them until
they were older before they would
fatten. He also stated that his year's
work of eradicating the cattle ticks
had cost him more than $100,000,
but that he would not take a million
dollars for the results accomplished.
"The above account was included
in a report of Jesse Robards, veter
inary inspector of the Bureau of An
imal Industry, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, in charge of 10
counties in that section of the State.
He gave the history of the excellent
work done by the Welder Ranch as
an example of the fine cooperation
received in all parts of his territory
from large ranch owners. He stated
that the greatest drawback to com
plete eradication of the cattle tick in
his section was the failure of the ow
ners of small herds of cattle, consist
ng sometimes of but a family cow or
two, to appreciate the evil of the cat
tle-tick pest, and regularly dip their
cattle."

above statements. Flames almost
licked his golden locks as he reclined
upon his bed with the latest literary
effort as his only entertainer. Little
drops of water, followed by steady
streams of the same kind of fluid fol
lowed closely upon the fire's heat.
Calmly and coolly, not to say hur
riedly, he shoved his trunk into the
hall, slung lis scattered belongings
into his hand bag, covered his pajam
as with trousers and coat, and made
for the stairway. He never stopped
until he hit the cement sidewalk in
front; the trunk sat conveniently by
the side of the stairway, while he had
the hand bag with him. Meanwhile
other roomers were doing a little
scampering, taking no thought of uni
form. Nighties took precedence over
all other habiliments, and safety was
the sole objective.
Before Meadows and the rest hard
ly had time to catch a breath the ex
citement was over, the fire was out,
and Eric Garrett and Reverend Mr.
Barker were inventorying the losses.
No adjustment has yet been made by
the fire insurance companies.
The cabbage worm is the dread of
every careful cook and household and

MOVING PICTURES MAY
SOON ENTER THE HOME
The time la coming, according to the
prophets, when motion picture projec
tor! will be found In an especially
adapted form la the home, giving en
tertainment by recording and preserv
lng home life and home acenea,
parties, holidays. Intimate personal
glimpses of guests, friends, members
of the family, whose forma and ac
tions can be preserved even after
death.
Thla will be possible. It la announced,
because of the development of metion
picture apparatus. There is now a
simplified, Inexpensive camera for tak
ing motion pictures. And there is also
obtainable now a Mazda Incandescent
motion picture projection lamp.
This latter la declared to be ideal
for motion picture projection In lodges,
churches, homes and small halls. It
Illuminates the screen with an even
distribution of light and entire ab
sence of flicker. It consumes little
current and Is convenient and clean.
It operates at 600 watts.

PUTTING LIGHTS

Artificial Illumination.
PROLONGS HENS' ACTIVITY
On ?no Farm Mara Kgga War* Fra

tha Vaar Exospt April and May.
Keeping tha Sana awake by placlni
electric lights la the baa Souses baa
been tested la actual use so long that
It can bow be described as an accept
ed practice among many poultrymen.
There are reports by this time that
show a decided Increase la egg pro
duction during the winter?the period
et shorter days tar all creatures?as a
direct result at Illuminating the chick
en houses. .
The Bleeping hours of hens. It has
been observed, stretch unbroken ly
tram sunset to sunrise. Doubtless that
la the way primitive man used to live
before artificial light was Invented to
prolong his waking hours. Without
light to see by It wasn't worth while
to Ignore sleep, for who would want
to stay awake la the darkT
Mazda Lamps Used
80 with the hens, and heaoe pro
gressive chicken farmers begaa to ex
periment with artificial lights In the
ken houses Electtrtc Incandescent
lights ot the Masda type were used.
It was found that It the light was free
from glare and evenly diffused it
would have the effetft of Imitating day
light sufficiently to keep the hens ac
tive. The length of the feeding day
was Increased so that the hens had a
longer period of exercise, obtained a
larger supply of food nutrients and
therefore had a greeted quantity of
egg-producing ingredients.
Comparative Test
On one chicken farm this method
was tried successfully on a three-hour
basis?that Is, the electric lights were
kept ou from * to t o'clock every eve
ning.
The results showed that during
September the eggs laid by hens,in
the electrically lighted hen house
were twice as many as those produced
by the hens in hen houses without
electric lights. It was also found that
only In April were more eggs pro
duced by the "daylight hens" than by
the "electric light hens."
SET PORED WITH
HIGHWAY LIGHTS
{ I
i Efectrlo Service for Farmers
Might FoHow Road Lighting
Anywhere, as in New York.
' I Electric service for fsrms Is usually
unavailable without special el.'orta on
the part of the farmers unless there Is
. an electric light, and power company
i with electric distribution lines running
within reach of the farm. Tet the ex
perience met with In territory near
Buffalo, N. Y? suggests a method of
, automatically securing the extension
' of the necessary power tinea so that
1 farmers who desire the advantages of
: electricity can be Connected up.
This possibility Is bound up with the
; installation of high Intensity road
, lighting units. The illumination of
many country highways in the towns
ef Amherst and Tonawanda, outside
ef Buffalo, has caused distribution
lines to be run along roads which pre
viously were without them, and the
beneBt to the farming district has
been two fold.In consequence. The
farmers have had a finely lighted road,
and they have been able to secure
electric servloe on their farms.
The installation Is net yet com
pleted In these towns, but as far as It
has gone every farm house along the
roads Illuminated has been wired for
electric lights as well as outhouses
A number of these farms are dairy
farms, and these agriculturists have
put la electric motors, by means of
which they are operating milking tnt
chines, feed cutters and grinders.
All this work, therefore, is now be
lag done by electricity on these farms '
And the dairymen are Jubilant over
the situation because It has solved ai
one stroke a most serious problem
They had been Hading it almost im
possible to secure sufficient hired help
It was coming to such a pass that
many dairymen were worried day and
night over It Now they ere worrying
no more. They have made an expendi
ture tor electric wiring and electric
motors, and the work is being done,
' hired men or no hired men. ?
But it could never have come to
pass had not the township been con
vinced of the necessity of illuminating
the highways. The highway lighting
plan calls for the lighting of a hun
dred miles of roads with the General
Electric Company's new Nevalux unit,
carrying J5S candlepower Mazda
lamps. This unit has excited a great
deal Of favorable comment wherever
put In, for It lights the roads so that
they are .perfectly clear for miles.
