Life Saving Work
Of Red Cross Corps
Wars on Drownings
The Insignia of the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps on the bath
ing apparel of men, women and
youths is seen everywhere at favorite
bathing places along the coa«ts, riv
ers, lakes and ponds. In Its unrelent
ing campaign to reduce loss of life by
drowning the Red Cross is making
constant headway. Tlio demands for
Instruction from organizations In all
parts of the country were so numer
ous the past year that It was neces
sary to more than double the staff of
Red Cross Instructors. This work of
training for water life-saving showed
an enrollment of over 80,000 volun
teers enlisted for duty on patrol, for
rescue and resuscitation, all compe
tent to Instruct others In the standard
water-safety methods. The Red Cross
by request of the War Department
gives water first aid training at the
United States Military and Naval
academies and In the military training
camps for reserve officers and civil
ians. The four cash prizes awarded
by the Red Cross last year for heroic
rescues were conferred npon two girls,
a boy and a man, Indicating that the
youths of the country stand well at
the top In conserving life along our
water courses.

Roup Can Be Prevented
by Providing Dry Housi
Roup can be prevented by keeplni
the poultry In dry, well ventilate*
houses and feeding balanced rations
Under such conditions If a case ap
pears the bird should be killed an
burned or burled deeply, says a wrltei
In Successful Farming. Treating i
case of roup Is very discouraging
The bird with roup is suffering ex
treme prostration and the discharge!
from the disease have a repulsive odor
This odor Is the factor that determine)
whether the hen has roup or a sluipli
cold.
If a hen has a cold It Is only a few
steps to a case of roup. Isolate heni
with runulng eyes and treat them witfc
one of the coal tur disinfectants or 8
cdftimerclal roup remedy. Place per
manganate of potash In the drinking *
water to keep the disease from spread- j
lng. Color the water a deep red. Never
return a bird with a cold to the flock
until she Is thoroughly cured and looks
like a healthy, vigorous specimen.
We know of one case where n hen
was treated for joi.p and then liber
atd before a cure had resulted.' In
about a week, eight other hen l - In the
flock were sick wit a the disease, and
after another week of fussy unpleas
ant doctoring, all of the sick hens had
to be kill id to protect the ret lalnder .
of the flock.
A hen which lins had a severe cold
should be banded so she will not be
Included In the breeding pens the next
year. When the disease has progressed

weakened and more subject to i repeti
tion of the disease. Tl is tumble is
so serious when once st: rt>'d that the
owner of a good flock of poultry must
not hesitate to sacrifice lie best-look
ing lien In the flock if she contract!
the i iseasi. It Is n -cessary to i rotect
the balance of the nick and prevent a
serious financial loss. ,
Co-Operative Marketing
of Eggs Is Profitable
The farm poultry flock has been
made a aource of cash income as well
as for food for the family by many
farm women who have learned from
their agricultural extension agents the
best methods of poultry management
and preparation of products for mar- .
ket The experience of the women of j
Falrhaven (Ga.) community, Is typical
of the work in many states. These I
farm women, desiring to Improve tiie
earnings of their Hocks, brought eggs j
to the weekly meeting of the exten
sion club, where the home-demonstra
tion agent showed them how to grade
and pack properly for shlpm&it. This
was continued each week until the
members were able to do the work
themselves. They then organized to
ship their eggs co-operatively, secured
ns customer a grocery store in a near
by city, and, according to reports to
the United States Department of Ag
riculture, have been currying on a sat-,
lsfactory business for more than u
year.
New co-operative egg marketing as
sociations organized in 1922, according
to reports, handled 490,000 dozen eggs;
In 1921 some 400 new organizations
handled about 200,000 dozen eggs.
All Hens Show Decided
Preference for Wheat
A recent test at one of the state ex
periment stations provided certain
amounts of various feeds for the hens,
and what they left was carefully (
weighed back lii an effort to see which j
foods the hens preferred naturally. ■
Almost all the hens showed a de
cided preference for wheat, which is |
generally used as a poultry feed. Kafllr ,
stood next in popularity, followed by !
com and cornmeal, bnt oats, bran and |
sunflower seeds did not prove very ,
popular. Alfalfa leaves" were also j
parsed by prett; generally.
A similar test shoved that tiie use
of either beef scrap or sour milk makes
the hen's egg record at least t'vlce as !
§ood as though she were fed no arimal i
feed whatever, and that sour milk is
slightly hotter than beef scrap for this j
purpose, !n addition to being > heaper j
and easier to get on most farms.
Proper Care of Poultry
Is Apparent in Autumn
Now Is a time wlnn the g >ol ran
of poultry shows v.p. Th.> lloc ! ;s which
have been underfed through the sum
mer are not ready for winter laying.
The pullets which have had a balanced
ration have developed plenty of vigo*'.
The s»oultry keeper who has 1
his tiock cannot,hor>e to make up for
lost time. The best of rations will
help to Improve the poorly-f.*d flock,
but they will never equal the birds
that have made a rapid normal growth
from the start.
Dispose of All Fowls
Weak and Lacking Vigor
Cull all hens that art sick, weak.

Variation in Butterfat
Testa Nothing Unusual
The pure-bred dairyman as well as
the cc-nmerclal dairyman Is Interested
In the tests for butterfat upon their
cattle. Quite frequently these tests
'are made either upon the entire herd
lor upon Individuals of the herds. When
i these tests are compared with -tests
'made previously, a wkle variation or
J fluctuation is'noted. There; are times
( Wlien these tests are made within a
few day 8 of each other and the varia
tion Is surprising. Such fluctuations
are often looked upon with suspicion,
while it should be realized that it is
quite natural for cows to vary in their
tests for butterfat In fact when this
point is investigated It Is found that
cows vary more In their tests than 1s
' commonly thought.
I Some years ago the Michigan Agri
cultural college published a special
bulletin containing the work of Ander
son upon the variations in the percent
age of butterfat of single mllklngs of
cows up in test. The seven-day tests
of 2'o i v.'s handled under ordinary
I' rd- conditions were studied as well
us similar record upon 2,000 cows en
t red In the advanced registry of their
respective breeds. Any conclusions
readier '>y thjse investigations can be
looked u ion as being indicative of the
rei.l condition, as the number of mllk
lngs studied Is large enough to war
rant this.
It may be expected that 30 per cent
of the cows in a herd will vary in the
percentage of butterfat In the milk
produced at Ii di .'idua! mllklngs in a
seven-day period 1 pi r cent or less.
Fifty per cent o the cows during a
like pe iod will vary in their tests
] ron 1.1 to 2 per cent, 14 per cent will
' ary from 2.1 per cent to 3 per cent,
" hiU- the remaining 0 per cent will
i low a variation between mllklngs of
More han 3 per cent. From these fact s
ve may conclude that it is not surprh -
ing to have a cow test 3 per cent 11
one milking and test 6 per cent at the
next milking. I haw actually seen a
cow test 1.8 per cent in the morning
and test over 6 per cent in the after
noon. In a herd of 100 cows the aver
age variation of the entire herd test
would be 1.49 per cent based upon
these figures.—B. W. Fairbanks, Colo
rado Agricultural College.
Basis of Dairy Profits
in Food, Feed and Care
"One cow, well fed and cared for,
will make more milk and profit than
two or more cows poorly fed and
cared for," Is the keynote expressed
in Wisconsin Circular 151 by George
C. Humphrey of the animal husbandry
department of the Wisconsin College
of Agriculture.
"Don't be satisfied to buy or raise
anything but good dairy cows.
"Don't try to keep more cows than
It Is possible to feed and care for well.
"Treat the cows kindly. Rough
treatment greatly reduces the amount
of milk she produces.
"F ed liberal rations. Make this
possible by laying In a store of good
grains such as corn, barley and oats
and some alfalfa or clover hay. These
feeds make a good combination when i
fed with roots or silage.
"Provide plenty of fresh water '
which Is cool but not too cold. It takes
a lot of water to make milk so It must
be provided.
"Protect the cows from cold, chill
ing weather and storms and dampness.
It helps to Increase milk production.
"Give the mother of the new-born
calf a pall of warm water —she Is j
feverish and this will relieve her I
thirst.
"Her first feed should be five or six
quarts of ground oats and wheat
bran."
These are but a few of the many |
timely suggestions offered by Mr. I
Humphrey In the bulletin, which with j
the alunble rations suggested make .
this a n.ost desirable little pamphlet
for -lie dairyman.
Inflamed Udder of Cow
May BP Avoided by Feed
t is seldom, if ever, necessary to
ra lk a cow before freshening. If the
luig Is badly swollen and milk drips
from the teats, It Is sometimes aflbod
Id-a to relieve the bag by drawing a
little milk but the mere presence of
iii'lannnatlon anil "cake" In the udder
dr es not rlly mean that the
milking should le do ie. It Is much
better to letve tne cow alone in this
regard as the last few days before
'res :enlng the cow secretes a peculiar |
|ua' ty of milk called colostrum in her
iddt-r, which is very essential to the
new-born calf as it acts as a purga
tive find helps to clear out his system.
Excessive difficulty from lnflammatlc a
and caked udders may be avoided I f
giving laxative feeds.
Sourcs of Sediment
Most of the sediment is milk comet
from the bodies of cows and consist*
of hairs, manure, bedding, etc.

Where Bananas Come From. ,
The ordinary fruit-stand banana Is
grown chiefly in Jamaica, Costa Rica
nnd other parts of tropica l America.
Some attempt has been made to prow
them in California, Louisiana am In
other states with warm climates, but
this Is more or less of an experiment
because the plant cannot endure the
slightest frost. 'As a novelty, a few
banana plants have r .bome fruit in
colder climes, but under ..special pro- j
tectlon. It Is Interesting to note that
the best and most tasty bananas are
not known to most of us because they
are too perishaole to ship any dis
tance. In the East Indies there are
bananas that grow oyer a foot long
and about two Inches thick. These
are not exported, but are used for
home consumption.
Funeral Before Death.
Funeral services for an aged couple
who are still alive were conducted re
cently at Kochl, Japan. The man,
who Is the proprietor of a fashionable
restaurant, and his wife are both sev
enty, and It was their desire that tlrelr
funeral should take place before their
death.
A long cortege of "mourners" left
the Kochl park, and all the procedure
of the funeral service accordicg to
Buddhist rites was carried out in reg
ular order at the Hongwan temple.
After the service the couple enter
tained many of the "mourners" at a
dinner, given to celebrate their lon
gevity. They believe that the "funeral"
has given them a new lease of life.
The Way of Fate.
"Even when a man gets elected to
office he's liable to complain of Ills
lot."
"It's a way fate has," said Senator
Sorghum. "When a man gets what he
wants it's liable to be handed to him
with trimmings that will make him
wish he hadn't wanted it."
Soothing an Indignation.
"Isn't there any way of quieting this
man who Is always makli g such a
fuss about being a taxpayer?"
"Only one that I know of," an
swered Senator Sorghum. "I'm doing
the best I can to get him a Job soine
wiiere as a tax collector."
