Neither Fixture Nor Appliances
Should Ever Be Touched by
Anything That Is Wet.
No electric appliances should ever
be placed where a person In a bath
tub can reach them. Such Is the as
sertion of Dr. A. Zlmmern In the.
Presse Medícale (Paris) In comment
lng on the death of a colleague. Elec
trocution has taken place with a cur
rent of only 110 volts under such cir
cumstances. The reason Is that the water on the
hands and body provides exceptionally
favorable conditions for conduction of
the current It Is not safe to touch
even an electric light heater or bdl
when In the bath Doctor Zlmmern
cites recent cases as follows:
A woman killed by holding an elec
tric light In one wet hand while turn
ing a water faucet with the other; a
woman killed by wiping with a wet
cloth the current distributing appar
atus for an electric heater; a man
receiving a severe shock by taking
bold of a chandelier while holding an
electric light suspended by a wire.
It Is very dangerous to change an
electric bulb when tha hands are wet
or the floor Is wet; a slight defect In
the Insulation may cause a severe
shock or even death.
insure a complete change of wafer In
hose. When the sludge level Is reach
ed, the pump will raise sludge. The
length of the hose below the chimney
top Is then noted, and as the distance
from top of chimney to bottom of
tank Is known it Is an easy matter to
estimate the depth of the sludge.
Measuring Sludge.
An Ingenious method of measuring
the depth of sludge In deep sedimen
tation tanks Is employed at the sew
age disposal works of Fltchburg,
Mass., says a Canadian writer. The
measurements are made by means of
a pitcher pump, and 28 feet of 1-Inch
rubber hose, marked in 1-foot lengths.
The pump Is screwed to a 8-foot plank
and attached to the hose by a union
coupling. In making measurements
the plank Is placed across the top of
a gas tent and the hose pushed Into
the tank until It Is near the supposed
sludge leveL The hose Is then low
ered an Inch at a time. Between each
shift sufficient pumping Is done to
Mexicans Wary of Snow.
It Is possible on almost any day
In the year to see snowbanks from
Mexico City, yet few of the natives
there had ever touched snow until one
day last winter, when there was quite
a perceptible fall, the first in many
vears In the Vallev of Mexico.
The mountain peaks of Popocatepetl
and Iztacclhuatl, clearly visible irom
tho capital, are always snowciaa,
thev are some sixty miles away.
Barefooted or lightly shod natives
stepped gingerly into the strange
menr. and afterward spent most of
dav huddled In their homes or In shel
terlni? nooks and corners. The snow
flurry was due to a sudden drop
temperature during a light rain.
His Predicament
"What Is the matter with old Riley
RezzidewT asked the traveling .sales
man. "He does not seem to like him
self."
"I'll tell you." returned the landlord
of the Petunia tavern. "Uncle Riley
has killed the neach crop for the
coming season, got the League of Na
tlons out of the way for the present
and nobody cares a hyper whether the
climate of Mars is healthy of not so
he's klnda out of talking points foi
the present and hasn't anything to
argue about until he gets some new
ones." Kansas City Star.

Packing 'Cases for Rubber.
Before the war Japan used to sup
ply most of the packing cases used
for rubber sent out of Burma. Owing
to the Increased cost and the scarcity
of shipping the Burma forest depart
ment took up the business, and bow
supplies the boxes required, whlcl
yield a fair profit besides benefiting
an Important local Industry.

THAT was before the
days when pretty nearly
everybody owned one or
could, if he wanted to.
There was a lot of waste
about motoring in those days.
A man spent a lot of money
on his car and never thought
yery much about what he
WQ.s getting in return.
. When a man buys a tire
nowadays he has a pretty
definite idea of what he ex
pects to get out of it. ,
The dealer who sells him
one that gives him ess than
he expects isn't likely to get
any more of his business.
That's one of the reasons
why we handle U. S. Tires
and recommend them to the
motorists of this community.

There is not one standard

Every tire' that bears , the
name "U. S." is built the
best way its makers know
how to build it. The oldest

in the world cannot afford
to play favorites in seeking

BREED HEIFERS FOR JUNIORS
Animals Are Relatively Easy to Handle
. : and Young Owner Gains Experi-
ence in Handling.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
I Many junior dairy clubs favor th
maintenance of bred heifers by their
members,- because these animals are
relatively easy to handle while their
young owner gains experience in feed'
lng and caring for the young females
before they calve. Subsequently h
learns how to handle the calf, which
constantly Is Increasing in - value,
Where mature cows ase distributed
among the junior dairy club members
more risk Is Involved, as many of the
youngsters are not experienced sufll
clently to handle them properly.
, The advantage of distributing calves
among the next generation' of stock
breeders, according to specialists, Is
the low Initial cost of the animal and

quires three years to complete the
project. This may be considered un
desirable, as Interest of the club mem

both the case of the bred heifer and
the calf It Is difficult to select the best
animals which will prove to be profit

LIBERAL FEEDING FOR COWS
Animals Starting Into Winter In Thin
Condition Need Extra Care to
Nourish Calves.
4 .
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Breeding cows that started Into the
winter In thin condition need extra
care and liberal feeding at this time
If they are to nourish their calves
properly and mamtahfhelr own bod
ies satisfactorily. It Is a mistaken
Idea of economy to starve through the
winter a cow that Is to drop a calf
In the spring. Such practice not only
reduces the vitality of the cow but
dwarfs the growth of her offspring, be
cause she is not able to nourish it
properly.
The cow should be provided with a
liberal amount of silage, or legume hay
If no 6llage is available. A protein sup
plement In the form of velvet beans
or cottonseed meal should be provided
In addition toiwo or three pounds of
grain. Corn stover or straw may also
be used If available at this time of
year.
ASSETS IN MILK PRODUCTION
Large Flow of Blood Indicates Diges-
tive Organs and Heart Are Func
tioning Properly.
It Is a well established fact that
milk Is produced from the elements
earrled to the udder by the blood. It
seems reasonable, therefore, that the
quantity of milk produced depends
largely on the amount of blood which
circulates through the udder. It Is
also self evident that a large flow of
blood Indicates that the digestive or
gans are functioning properly, nd
that the heart is strong. Both of
these are very Important assets in
milk production, and In transmitting
vigor to the offspring of the cow.
I DAIRY NOTES
FUI the churn only half full afcd
you will have better churning results.
Thoroughly cleanse and sterilize the
cooler, cans, palls, strainers and other
milk utensils.
The cow barn Is a dirty place In the
winter months unless the proper meth
ods of handling are exercised.

Good, dim corn stover is excellent

Is Especially good and should be fed
at the rate of three pounds of silage'
