Lehigh Is Cement Valley.
"Although Portland cement is pro
duced in 27 states, the Lehigh valley
of Pennsylvania is the Pozzuoli of the
United States. Silica, calcium and
alumina are the necessary cement in
gredients which are contained in rock
formations 'made to order* in this
valley. "Crushers in the Lehigh
valley take blasted rocks as large as
five feet wide, three feet high and
ten feet long und munch them readily
into bits. Other teeth grind the stone
to powder, which is mixed with water
to form a sloppy 'slurry.' Under air
pressure this Is blown Into the man
made volcano, a cement kiln, the
largest of \vt>ich is half as long as an
average city block and has a diame
ter of ten feet. This tube is lined
with firebrick to withstand the ter
rific heat resulting from the burning
of coal dust blown Into the kiln from
the other end. In the throat of this
volcano a reaction occurs, transform
ing a third of the stone into the active
principle of cement. An endless belt
brings candescent nodules out of the
kiln to more grinders, which crush
them to the fineness of flour. Six hun
dred pounds of raw materials and fuel
are required for every 376-pound bar
rel of cement.
"Cement has Itself created a sepa
rate Industry which has Important
bearing on the prosperity of the south
ern states. Annually It requires
thirty million new cement sacks of
finely woven cotton. To make these,
00,000 acres of cotton must be grown
and 1,600 looms operated every day
of the year. Woven in one piece, 30
Inches wide, the cloth that goes into
these sacks would unroll for 17,000
miles.
"Much as tl%e Itoman aqueducts
were the. necessity that mothered the
invention of the first hydraulic cement,
canals have produced modern cement.
Aspdin's Portland cement was first
used extensively in the Thames tunnel-.
Early American cement factories can
be traced by early American canals,
notably the Erie canal, which popu
larized the product In the United

Elgin to Preserve Trees
Over 1,000 Years Old
Elgin. ? Cedar trees that were good
sized saplings during the first cru
sades, according to foresters, have
been turned over to the Illinois Nat
ural Study society of Elgin by the
city, and will be cared for In perpe
tuity by the society. Only one other
large grove of arbor vltae. or white
cedars, Is said to exist In the state.
Foresters estimate that many of the
cedars in Elgin are more than 1,000
years old, and that very probably the
present grove Is a part of a large
woods which was well developed in
the Ninth or Tenth century. The trees
belong to the same family of plants
that Include ttoe famous <edars of Leb

ternal accidents and disease, there Is
no reason why the trees should not
live another 1,000 years.
The society, according to Carl F.

a permanent label on every tree In the
121-acre park, and to maintain the
grove as a scientific preserve and as a
public show place.

MANY DEVICES USED
TO EXERCISE BULLS
(Prepared by the United 9tat?? Department
Many n valuable bull Is rendered
useless by Improper care and manage
ment, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The Importance
of exercise is often underestimated,
and many bulls, after tlieir value has
been proved, are found to be sterile or
slow breeders, due largely to close
confinement and lack of activity. This
I Is more true of dairy bulls, perhaps,
because of their temperament, which
makes them more difficult to handle.
Regular exercise helps materially to
keep the bull in good condition. Any
method that will make the sluggish
bull take exercise regularly and with
out overwork is satisfactory. The
main point is for him to get it. In
some countries bulls are yoked like
oxen and used to pull a plow, to haul
manure, or to do other farm work.
Where there Is only one bull, special
hitching arrangements for work on a
cart may be made. ThUs the bull not
only gets his exercise but at the same
time does useful farm work. A tread
mill Is sometimes used, but is not al
ways satisfactory because the bull
sometimes learns tricks for stopping
the machine and needs to be watched.
A pen large and roomy enough for
exercising may be all that is needed
for some bulls, but others are lazy
and need to be forced to exercise. A
young bull turned In the lot with an
older one will usually cause the older
one to take his "dally dozen." The
younger bull will usually be active
enough to keep out of danger if the
pen Is large enough to prevent his
being cornered. The owner should use
his judgment as to the merits of this
plan.
Hulls may be Induced to exercise
themselves with an empty barrel or
keg by bunting or rolling It around the
pen. The keg may be left on the
pround or hung by a rope or chain low
enough so the bull can butt It with
his head. A block of wood, with th?
corners removed, will serve the same
purpose. Some hulls spend hours play
ing with contrivances of this sort,
while others pay little attention to
them.
When an exercise pen is not avail
able, It is a common practice to tie the
bull to a ring which slides on a sus
pended wire or cable* 75 to 100 feet
long and high enough above the bull's
head to prevent him from getting his
feet over the lead chain, which should
be 12 to 15 feet long. A revolving
sweep will give the bull some exercise,
If he will use It.

Many Animals Inspected
During Year Just Ended
Slaughter of nearly 80,000,000 ani
mals in establishments operating un
der federal meat Inspection during the
year ended June 30, 1924, Is shown by
figures recently compiled by the bu
reau of animal industry, United States
Department of Agriculture. The exact
total is 70,814,060, which Is more than
0.000.000 more animals than were
slaughtered during any previous fiscal
year.
Hoes were the most numerous of
all classes of stock, there being 54,
410,481 of these animals slaughtered.
Tliis number, nearly three-fifths of the
total, Is also a new high mark.
Calves slaughtered during this rec
ord-breaking year numbered 4,607,948,
which is also the largest number on
the records of the United States meat
inspection service for any year. Cat
tle and sheep killed under the super
vision of government Inspectors num
bered 9,188,652 and 11,505,001, respec
tively.
This record slaughter of animals In
dicates an increased total meat con
sumption In the United States, as
would be expected with the growing
population. It also shows what a com
prehensive service the United States

I HUMAN ELEMENT FOR
' SUCCESS IN POULTRY
Throe big factors -enter into success
In poultry work. These ure: Finance,
location und the human element.
A large amount of finance does not
always contribute to tbe success of a
commercial poultryman. He should
have fin:inces enough to carry him
through the first year but one should
remember that a hen knows nothing
of marble halls. Some people get just
as good results from straw sheds as
they wpuld in houses costing much
money, providing the premises are
kept clean.
Location is Important with regard
to arrangement of flock and closeness
to a market. If at a distance from a
market you have to buy higher feed
and pay more for labor, but it is not
necessary to live too close to a mar
ket. You can develop retail trade and
will not necessarily have to sell your
eggs on the market.
The remaining factor is the human
element that enters Into the work.
The human element in anything is the
controlling element. Something in the
human element spells failure or suc
cess. The ability to do is one factor.
Into ability enter the physical and
mental elements. Some people are
mentally incapable. Mental ability
does not always mean lack of power,
but lack of concentration. You must
be capable of concentrating your mind
upon the work. The world is full of
people always trying to find some
thing better. The quitter in life is
going to be put out of business even
before he gets a good start. Honesty
Is another of the human elements that
enter into the work. Some people
are notable liars and are unscrupulous
in their dealings.
Roup Can Be Eradicated
Only With Difficulty
Fowls suffering from roup in such
mild form that its presence passes
unobserved and frequently unsuspect
ed often introduce the disease Into a
flock, from which It can be eradicated
only with great difficulty, according to
Dr. C. C. Llpp, director of the animal
health laboratory at South Dakota
State college. Three types of roup
are common ? the comb, the nasal and
the mouth types. The symptoms in
clude small scabby swellings on comb
and wattles, nasal discharges and dif
ficult noisy breathing, and small scab
by areas on the tongue, mouth lining
and' throat. There is also reduced
vitality and egg production, and fre
quently death in from one to three
weeks.
Careful Culling Will
Improve Egg Production
T. S. Townsley, poultry culling spe
cialist at the college of agriculture,
University of Missouri, says that since
pullet culling is based upon estimates
of the future production, while hen
culling is based upon characteristics
which indicate past production, pullet
culling is not so much of an exact
science as Is the culling of hens. He
adds that much can be done, however,
toward Improving the average produc
tion of the flock, by carefully culling
the pullets before the laying season
starts, using as a basis the rate of ma
turity, general vigor, quality, and lay
ing type.
Laying Pullets Require
Abundance of Good Grain
Laying pullets need an abundance
of grain to keep the body warm and
maintain the small surplus of fat
needed by all good layers, stated Prof.
A. G. Philips of the Purdue university
poultry department.
A higher percentage of grain should
be fed from October to January, slight
ly less from January to March and a
normal ration In the spring. This en
ables pullets to keep up the body
weight and still produce eggs. Most
pullets that were early hatched, prop
erly matured and ready to lay In the
winter fell down on the Job when cold
weather hit them, because they were
too thin.
Poultry Facts
+*+*+*++++++++++?+++++++++
Clean, Infertile eggs will bring a
better price on the open market.
? ' ? ?
Hens are heavy feeders and will lay
more eggs If you give them a light so
they can see to eat.
? ? *
Chicks hatched from weak parents
never make as good growth under the
same conditions as those produced
from healthy stock.
? ? ?
Old geese should only be plucked
when the feathers are ripe. Breeding
geese cannot be reasonably expected
to yield a crop of feathers and lay
vigorous, hatchable eggs.
? ? ?
Hens under lights, giving them 14
feeding hours each day, made an extra
profit of ninety cents per hen above
those having only normal daylight
hours, find poultry workers of the
North Carolina State college.
? ? ?
A pinch of sodium fluoride applied
on the neck, under the wings, region
of the vent, flufT, breast, etc., will
kill the body lice on the hens. The
hens should be treated so as to keep
the lice from getting on the young
birds.
? ? ?
All eggs that are malformed or are
ridged or have heavy deposits of shell
on them, or that are cracked or thinly
shelled, should not be set for they
will either not hatch at all or will
have crippled or malformed chicks or
will be easily broken.
* ? ?
Eggs older than three days cannot
be classed with fresh eggs. Yet, with
proper <-are, an egg a week old may be
to all Intents and purposes, in a fresh
condition. Poultiymen catering to a
strictly fresh egg market make their
deliveries several times a week.
