HARD TO EXPLAIN
Human nature is hard to under
stand and the human mind equally
difficult to explain.
For example, take the case of the
man in Pennsylvania, who beat his
wife and two children to death with
a hammer, because he had commit
ed "a scarlet sin" and wanted to
send them to "Heaven, because they
were so white and clean."
If any reader can figure this out
he will confer a great boon on hu
man beings in general. The ob
vious answer is to say the man was
insane, as doubtless he was, but th's
does not explain his mental reac
tions and the killing of his family.
GAS MASKS FOR ALL
The British government has de
cided to manufacture sufficient gas
masks to supply the entire popula
tion if it ''becomes necessary."
This, we submit, is one straw to
show which way the winds of war
are blowing.
The only defense against the
bombing of cities and helpless civ
ilian populations, in the next war,
will be superior air strength avail
able for the job. The use of gas
nxajks will be necessary to protect
citiiens from stray raiders, even if
there are adequate aircraft for de
fense.
Under the circumstances it might
be well for the people of the Unit
ed States to know what is going on
in the world ard not to beguile them
selves with the lea that they are
living in a wori. where aggression
is dead and war an outside possi
bility.

Timely Farm Questions
Answered at State Col.
QUESTION: How can I tell
whether or not my chickens have
worms ?
ANSWER: Unless there is a
heavy infestation it is difficult to
determine the presence of internal
parasites, but where the birds are
heavily infested there is usually an
extremely heavy appetite, the birds
are thin and often a leg weakness
will appear. Where these conditions
appear it is safe to assume that the
birds are infested When the birds
appear listless and there is any
doubt as to the trouble it is best to
open up several of the subnormal
birds and examine the intestines for
worms.
QUESTION: At what age should
I breed my young heifers T
ANSWER: There is no arbitrary
age for breeding heifers- This- is
usually determined by the maturity
of the animal. Heifers that are fed
grain liberally in addition to the'
roughage will mature more rapidly
than those on limited grain ration.^
Fhen, too, the breed has a bearing*
>n the freshening time. Jersey and
Guernsey heifers, if property grown
at, should be bred to freshen from ?
24 to 30 months of age. The Hol
stein and Ayrshire heifers shouPd
freshen when from 27 to 32 months
old.
QUESTION: How can I rid my
rose bushes of the small lice that
are killing the plants?
ANSWER: The aphis of "plant
lice" can be controlled by the appli
cation of a 40 per cent nicotine sul
phate spray, or by applying a dust
made by mixing 12 ounces of the
nicotine sulphate solution with two
pounds of hydrated lime and eight
pounds of dusting sulphur. The 40
per cent nicotine sulphate is a com
mercial mixture and, when used as a
spray should be mixed with water
at the rate of one teaspoonful to
three quarts of water. The small
insect known as the thrip is also
particularly harmful to roses and
may be controlled with the same in
secticides.
