HOUSE PULLETS EARLY; SECURE MORE EGGS Move Them From the Range Before They Begin to Lay—Clean the Houses Thoroughly. To get good results from a flock of poultry during the winter all houses and coops should be in good condition, only healthy fowls placed in these buildings, and good care given to the poultry. As it takes about two weeks for hens or pullets to seattle down to their new quarters they should be moved early. The moving should be done before they begin to lay, for a shift after egg production begins may set them back for a month to six weeks. Moving pullets around from one house to another is the best means of holding back egg production if they are developing too fast. The United States department of agriculture points out that it is highly desirable to bring the pullets in from the range before they begin to lay. The houses should be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and made tight for the winter. It is much easier to do this work while they are empty than after they are filled with fowls. If the house has a dirt floor, it is well to remove the top 3 or 4 inches and replace this with dry gravel or sand. If it has a cement or wooden floor, remove all litter and dirt and put in 4 or 5 inches of fresh straw or litter. Remove the roosts and scrape the dropping boards, wetting them down if necessary to loosen refuse which has caked and dried on. Sweep the walls and ceilings with a broom, and clean out all old nesting material. The house is now ready to be disinfectant. Put a peck or more of fresh-burned lime in a tub or barrel and pour on it enough water to start slaking. Stir occasionally and add more themselves or kill and bury them if they are not worth treating. Examine the pullets and hens for lice and dust thoroughly with a good insect powder, or apply a mixture of equal parts of vaseline and mercurial or blue ointment, applying a piece about the size of a pea, 1 inch below the vent, rubbing the mixture lightly on the skin. An application of this ointment two or three times a year will keep the fowls free from lice. Provide a small box in the house, partly filled with dry road dust or fine dirt, in which the hens may dust themselves, thus helping to keep free from lice. NEW INVENTION TO MEASURE TRAFFIC EFFECT ON BRIDges A new instrument devised by the bureau of public roads of the United States department of agriculture measures with scientific precision the effect of every shock and blow delivered by moving vehicles in crossing a bridge. Attached to any part of the bridge structure, this instrument makes a photographic record of the effect of the moving load. The amount of stretching or shortening of the part as a result of the shocks is represented by a fine black line on the photograph. No blow or shock can be delivered so quickly that the instrument will not record its effect. It has never before been possible to measure the effect of such blows. Engineers have long been able to calculate the effect of standing loads very exactly; but because of their inability to measure the effect of quickly delivered blows or impacts, they have never been able to proportion the various parts of a bridge with absolute assurance. It has been necessary to make a liberal allowance for this unknown quantity. In some cases the allowance has not been sufficient and the bridges have collapsed under moving loads. PROPER CARE FOR MUCK Buy Perishables Keep all Edible Cool "A woman can spoon what a mug shovel." Food that brought into the hatch is a needless waste food spoilage course proper care, the benefit of agriculture age is due to the which multiply in temperatures and ishables should be daily amounts only. When meat and in the house, exotic paper for clean piles on a clean plate for cold storeroom stored in the icebox flavor to other foods milk and butter. Just enough fish no left overs to dish. Pitchers and bowls be scalded before Milk should always kept in the coolest rator, at a temperature F. or lower, if posited. Solid eggs spot getting clean eggs cool. Do not wash before using; water on the shell while gleanams from get tents. Fats aid oils are dark. Butter abide should be well cowed with a lid serves. Fresh vegetables be kept clean, we possible, at a temperature and 40 degrees F. Remove the roosts and scrape the dropping boards, wetting them down if necessary to loosen refuse which has caked and dried on. Sweep the walls and ceilings with a broom, and clean out all old nesting material. The house is now ready to be disinfected. Mix up a batch of whitewash or other disinfectant. Put a peck or more of fresh-burned lime in a tub or barrel and pour on it enough water to start slaking. Stir occasionally and add more water to prevent burning. Keep the vessel covered with an old sack to retain the heat. After the lime is thoroughly slaked dilute it to the proper consistency and strain it if it is to be applied with a spray pump. Add a quart of crude carbolic acid to each bucketful of wash. Other effective disinfectants are lime-sulphur mixture used for spraying fruit trees, coal tar preparations, or the approved cattle dips. With a whitewash brush or spray pump apply thoroughly to the inside of the house—walls, ceiling, floor, dropping boards, and nests, as well as the roosts, which should be placed out of doors in the sun for a few days. Allow the house to dry out before putting in fresh litter. Rye straw makes excellent litter, because it is tough and does not break up easily, but wheat or oats straw, constalks, dry leaves, or coarse hay are all usable. Baled shavings or dry sawdust has been used successfully; they are excellent absorbents. Be sure that the house is tight on three sides and that there is no chance for a draft to strike the hens. If hens roost or are placed in a draft during the fall and winter, colds are sure to develop, which may result in roup and other troubles. From one-third to one-half of the south side, or front, of the poultry house may be made of curtains and windows, but should be under control, so that the openings may be closed gradually as the weather becomes cold. Have muslin curtains in the front of the house or leave a window partly open, even on the coldest nights, to allow some ventilation in the house. Powls will stand considerable exposure to cold air provided it is dry, and ventilation will keep the air in the house dry. Before the pullets are mixed with the older fowls be sure that the hens are banded or that the web of the foot is punched in some way, so that you can distinguish between the pullets and the hens. This plan permits the much blows. Engineers have long been able to calculate the effect of standing loads very exactly; but because of their inability to measure the effect of quickly delivered blows or impacts, they have never been able to proportion the various parts of a bridge with absolute assurance. It has been necessary to make a liberal allowance for this unknown quantity. In some cases the allowance has not been sufficient and the bridges have collapsed under moving loads. Many bridges still in service are probably too weak to withstand safely the sharp blows of swiftly moving vehicles, though they will safely carry the same vehicles at rest or moving at slow speed. The familiar warning posted at the portals of a bridge: "Speed limit on this bridge 8 miles per hour," means that the design of the bridge to which it is attached is not strong enough to allow for impact. In the light of the recent experiments with motor trucks in which it was shown that a swiftly moving motor truck may strike a blow equivalent to seven times its actual weight, it is rather surprising, the department road experts say, that failures have been so few. It is believed this new measuring instrument will soon do away with uncertainty. The knowledge gained by its use will enable the engineer to design bridges which are sure to hold up under fast-moving venticles, and to build such bridges without undue waste of material and money. HUNGARIAN VETCH PROVES A SUCCESS Experimental work of the United States department of agriculture, in cooperation with the Oregon experimental station, has demonstrated the possibilities of Hungarian vetch for the humid area of the Pacific northwest. This vetch is particularly valuable on account of its ability to grow on wet, clayey lands where other crops make a much smaller growth. It has succeeded on the wet white lands of the Willamette valley that are considered very poor soils for cropping purposes. It is perfectly winter hardy in this region, much more so than common vetch, though less winter hardy than hairy vetch. Another striking feature of this vetch is its good seed habits and heavy seed yields. Most vetches have rather poor seed habits, but Hungarian vetch is an exception. dow partly open, even on the coldest nights, to allow some ventilation in the house. Fowls will stand considerable exposure to cold air provided it is dry, and ventilation will keep the air in the house dry. Before the pullets are mixed with the older fowls be sure that the hens are banded or that the web of the foot is punched in some way, so that you can distinguish between the pullets and the hens. This plan permits the older stock to be culled out whenever desirable, and the young hens to be kept for further laying. For egg production do not keep hens over two years, but some of the best hens may be kept for breeders until 3 or 4 years old. The pullets that mature early are usually the best layers and should be saved for breeding stock. Cull the chickens carefully which are brought into the laying house, and fatten and market all which are small, poorly developed, or in poor condition. These small, poorly developed chickens are apt to catch cold if put in with the other poultry and develop diseases which quickly spread through the flock. Clean the dropping boards at least once a week, and spray the roosts once a month during the winter with kerosene or some commercial preparation for killing mites. Have a good supply of sand or dry dirt on hand to use on the dropping boards during the winter. If any of the birds develop colds, put as much potassium permanganate as will remain on the surface of a dime into a gallon of water and keep this material in their drinking water for several days, or until the symptoms of the colds have disappeared. Remove any sick birds from the flock as soon as noted and treat them in coops by succeeding on the wet white lands of the Willamette valley that are considered very poor soils for cropping purposes. It is perfectly winter hardy in this region, much more so than common vetch, though less winter hardy than hairy vetch. Another striking feature of this vetch is its good seed habits and heavy seed yields. Most vetches have rather poor seed habits, but Hungarian vetch is an exception. It also possesses the good quality of being much less attacked by aphids than common vetch. In the season of 1917-1918 aphids did serious damage to vetch at Corvallis and common vetch yielded practically no seed. However, in that season Hungarian vetch yielded 35.3 bushels of seed per acre. In experimental plantings at Corvallis, Ore., this vetch has yielded 33.7 bushels of seed per acre as an average for four years, while common vetch for the same years yielded 28.3 bushels per acre. Judging by the way bees visit Hungarian vetch while in bloom, it affords excellent bee pasturage. This vetch can be grown anywhere in the Pacific coast states west of the Cascade mountains in Oregon and Washington and the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. However, it special place is for wet lands where common vetch does not do well. It has not proven of value for any other parts of the United States, though it has done fairly well in tests at a few stations in the southern states. If you have nothing to worry about, that's something for those to worry about who have. Anyway, a good many recent murders has disproved the old belief that a woman can't shoot straight. PROPER CARE PREVENTS MUCH FOOD SPOILAGE Buy Perishables in Small Quantities—Keep all Edibles Clean, Covered, Cool and Dry. "A woman can throw out with a teaspoon what a man brings in with a shovel." Food that spoils after it is brought into the home kitchen usually is a needless waste. A good deal of food spoilage could be prevented by proper care, the United States department of agriculture has found. Spoilage is due to the presence of bacteria, which multiply in moderately warm temperatures and in dampness. Perishables should be bought in small daily amounts only. When meat and poultry are brought in the house, exchange the wrapping paper for clean parchment, and place on a clean plate in the refrigerator or cold storeroom. Fish should not be stored in the icebox, as it imparts its flavor to other foods, particularly to milk and butter. It is better to buy just enough fish for a meal and have no left overs to dispose of. Pitchers and bottles for milk should be scalded before the milk it put in. Milk should always be covered and kept in the coolest part of the refrigerator, at a temperature of 50 degrees F. or lower, if possible. Soiled eggs spoil quickly. Insist on getting clean eggs, and keep them cool. Do not wash an egg until just before using; water removes a coating on the shell which hinders microorganisms from getting into the contents. Fats aid oils are best stored in the dark. Butter absorbs flavors and should be well covered. A stone crock with a lid serves well. Fresh vegetables and fruits should be kept clean, well-ventilated, and, if possible, at a temperature between 60 and 40 degrees F. Decanted ones should dressing made with cream must be carefully kept and handled and promptly used. They often cause serious poisoning before they taste or smell spoiled. Boiled rice, hominy and other cereals also spoil quickly. Bread and cakes should be kept in a ventilated box. Hot bread should not be wrapped immediately. The moisture of fresh bread causes molds to form. The bread box should be scalded once a week, wiped dry, and sunred. Crackers and cookies lose their crispness by absorbing moisture from the air. They should be kept in air-tight boxes, wrapped in parchment or paraffin paper, if possible. All dry groceries must be kept dry and clean and in insect-proof containers. Cereals and flavors should be bought in small quantities in the summer, as they tend to develop weevils even when well cared for. Corn meal from which the "germ" has not been removed turns rancid with keeping. Air-tight containers are necessary for tea, coffee, spices and baking powder. Ground roasted coffee loses flavor rapidly. Do not lay in a large stock of coffee unless it can be roasted and ground at home. The fat in chocolate may turn rancid, so keep it cool and dark. Canned goods should be stored in a dark, cool place to prevent fading. Examine vegetables within a fortnight after canning to detect spoilage. A little mold on the top of jelly or rich preserves is not dangerous, but canned vegetable which look, smell or taste at all spoiled should never be eaten. BLANKS FOR VETS SEEKING AID READY The state veterans' welfare board, will distribute application blanks to all ex-service men desiring education or training. At the same time copies of the rules and regulations for the bonus or adjusted compensation from this state is barred from taking advantage of the opportunities offered under the institute act. Beginning October 20, it is announced, the state veterans' welfare board will receive for consideration applications from those veterans desiring education or training. Request for applications, should be made to Robert F. Smith, veterans' welfare board, Sacramento. RAILROADS IN SOUTH AMERICA Announcement of the departure of a corps of American railroad builders to begin the construction in Bolivia of a line to connect the railway system of Argentina with those of Bolivia, Peru and northern Chile, calls attention to the aid which new railway construction seems likely to bring to the food producing power of the great land masses of the world in which railways are still insufficient. Now that the supply of steamships which can reach the ocean frontages of all continents is ample and the farm and road motors have greatly enlarged the power of man to cultivate the soil and move its products to the common carrier, the railway, the crying need of the interior of all the continents except North America and Europe is for more railways to connect their fertile acres with the water's edge. Of the 740,000 miles of railway in the world, 266,000 are in the United States, 220,000 in Europe, 70,000 in Asia, 60,000 in South America, 30,000 in Africa, and 26,000 in Australia. The average number of miles of railway for each 1,-000 miles of area is the United States 89 miles, Europe 57, South America 8, Australia 8, Asia 4, and Africa 2-12 miles. When it is remembered that South America with an area 2 1-2 times that of the United States, exclusive of Alaska, has a railway mileage less than one-fourth of our own; Do not wash an egg until just before using; water removes a coating on the shell which hinders microorganisms from getting into the contents. Fats aid oils are best stored in the dark. Butter absorbs flavors and should be well covered. A stone crock with a lid serves well. Fresh vegetables and fruits should be kept clean, well-ventilated, and, if possible, at a temperature between 60 and 40 degrees F. Decaped ones should be frequently spotted out. Very often the decayed portion may be cut away and the rest of the fruit or vegetable used at once. Wilted leaf vegetables sometimes may be freshened by ysoaking in water just before using. All vegetables and fruits, especially those to be eaten raw, should be thoroughly washed in running water before they are used. The loss of flavor and texture is very slight and is made up for by the removal of bacteria and possible spray residue. Decaying fruits and vegetables always attract files. Moist cooked foods made with milk, eggs, meats or fish, are excellent breeding places for harmful microorganisms, including many which cause poisoning. Chilled left overs should be used as soon as possible. Left overs of meat pie, dishes made with cream sauce, custard, boiled dressing, and BLANKS FOR VETS SEEKING AID READY The state veterans' welfare board, will distribute application blanks to all ex-service men desiring education or training. At the same time copies of the rules and regulations for the California veterans' educational institute, created by an act of 1921, will be disseminated gratis. The act, which provides educational-all opportunities to veterans, makes an appropriation for the payment of transportation charges once each year from the home of the student to and from the institution of learning; for the payment of tuition and other fees, if there be such; for the purchase of books and supplies; for the monthly payment of an allowance to cover all or a part of the living expenses of the student in an amount which shall not exceed $40 a month. For the purpose $500,000 has been appropriated. It is pointed out, however, that any veteran who has taken advantage of the benefits of the veterans' welfare act or the veterans' farm and home purchase act or who has received a world, 266,000 are in the United States, 220,000 in Europe, 70,000 in Asia, 60,000 in South America, 30,000 in Africa, and 26,000 in Australia. The average number of miles of railway for each 1,000 miles of area is the United States 89 miles, Europe 57, South America 8, Australia 8, Asia 4, and Africa 2 1-2 miles. When it is remembered that South America with an area 2 1-2 times that of the United States, exclusive of Alaska, has a railway mileage less than one-fourth of our own; that Africa is nearly 4 times as big as the United States and has a mileage but 12 per cent of our own; that all Asia has nearly 6 times our area and 8 times our population but only has one-fourth the railway mileage of the United States; and that Australia with an area equal to our own has a mileage only one-tenth of that of the United States, the possibilities of enlarging their producing and therefore their purchasing power by connecting their vast, and in many cases fertile areas with the water's edge are beyond calculation. Anyway a woman in her first short skirt doesn't look as awkward as a boy in his first long "pants." If you look "run down," you'll soon be run over.
