CONGRESSMAN asks U. S. TO HAVE FREE GUIDES AT CAPITOL Washington. (UP)—Free guide iff aervice for the hundreds of thousands of tourists who stream through the United States capitol building here is provided in a bill being pressed by Representative Taylor, democrat, Col orado. Tourists are shown through thf huge building now, including the Senate and House chambers, by pro fessional guides who charge 25 cents a head—except for large parties. In this case a special rate of 15 cents a head is mad? by arrangemen? with i local sight-seeing buses which stop at the capitol on iheir round of ths city. Taylor's bill provides a regular sal aried guide corps, which would con sist of a chief guide at $1,800 a year and 10 assistants at $1,500. Their salaries would be paid by congres sional appropriation The bill sets no a special board for handling the guide corps. The guide force, which consists now of about 20 cicercnss, is well organized and has protested attempts to change the system. Many of them are vet erans. having been in the business for years. There are now four wo men guides. During the rush seas ons in the sprirg when the flood of tourists is augmented by brides and grooms with well-filled pocketbooks and a joyous outlook upon life, their returns are large. Veteran guides who have worked the capitol for years have many anec dotes with which they brighten up their "spiels.” little stories of the great and the near great of the past and present. Seme of them h3V? friends all over th«» country, tnada during their long service in the cap itol. -- »• Paris Dancer Calls Virtue ‘Stupid,’ But She Hedges Paris. (UP)—“Virtue? What’s that? What are you trying to hand me?" These words came in a half mock ing, half serious tone frcm the heav ily rouged lips of Louda Vadorina in her dressing room at the Concert Mayol when a correspondent asked her what she thought about a cere mony he had just witnessed at tne Pianch Academy when the Montyon “Prizes for Virtue” were being hand ed out to a dozen young girls. Slipping on a flaming scarlet gown as she came back from the stage where .she had danced “Opium” in wild delirium, clad only in a wreath of poppies half hiding her ebony locks, Mile. Vadorina continued: “You know, seriously. I think vir k tue must be a stupid thing. I sup pose it’s all right for some people. But I have a reputation to maintain. Up at the Moulin Rouge 1 did the dance of the drunken girl. Everybody be lieved I was drunk. Here at the May ol I do ‘Opium!’ I have never tak’n a drop of vodka nor smoked .opium Still I have to keep up the pretense. As for virtue je m'en moque. you un derstand. I laugh at it.” Six little dancing girls came in to tell the star the director was calling for her. As she dashed out she said over her shoulder to the correspond ent: "Don’t take what I said too serious ly. Remember I have an old mother and a little child waiting for me when I get home this evening ” —- • ♦ . ■■ Deaf Mute Pictures Murder; Saves Life Paris.

In general it may be said tnat there are two general divisions under which all incubators may be classified. First is the smaller individual incubator, especially adapted to small flock purposes where a few hundred chirks only are hatched primarily for one's own use, and secondly, the socalled mammoth incubators, whicli are specially adaoted to commercial poultry farms and breeding establishments and commercial hatcheries, where tt«~*iands of chicks or even millions of rtiicks are produced in a single year. The individual tncubatr*rs are of two general types, hot air and hot water machines; the difference being that in the hot air type the warm air from around the lamp circulates through the egg chamber, warming the eggs directly and passing out through the ventilator openings, being* replaced by a continual flow of fresh warm air. The other type, known as hot water incubator, Is one in which the heat from the lamp warms water which circles in a water chamber or tank above the eggs, radiating the heat from the tank to the eggs. Either of these two types are efficient and very satisfactory. One should simply be sure to get the incubator of a reliable make, substantially and well put together, and one that has a reputation for giving good hatches, and of a durable, permanent construction. These individual incubators may be heated by either kerosene lamps or by gas. The latter is much more economical of operation and a great labor saver providing gas is available r*. a reasonable price. Where incubators are heated with lamps, the labor involved in trimming and filling and adjusting amounts to quite an item if any considrable capacity is so operated. Small individual incubators usually have not more than from one to two «gg com partments and range in capacity from 50 to 00 eggs up to 400 or 500. at which point larger capacities move from the small individual unit machine into the mammoth type. We are not attempting here to discuss the eare of file individual incubator. Suffice to say that small machines are especially adapted to the farmer, tho suburbanite or the small poultry keeper who wishes for many reasons to do his own breeding work, and wishes to hatch hi3 own eggs and has requirements for a capacity of not more than 1.000 eggs at one sitting Mammoth incubators and their rapid rise In popular favor have been responsible and have made possible the immense increase in the baby chick in dustry of America. Without them it would be impossible to produce the millions of baby chicks which nni3t be hatched each spring to take care of the poultry needs of our great country. These machines are of iwo general types. The socalled cabinet mammoth, in which the eggs are stacked tier upon Mf»r nnri in in inHnUMi rahim*!* iho lioaf hmmr Kir maonu »,.# lirvf water pipes circulating through the machine and the air in the incubator being kept in circulation by revolving fans or paddles. The eggs at hatching time are usually placed in special compartments in larger drawers of hatching chambers where they can be easily and quickly removed. Mammoth cabinet, incubators have experienced extremely popular favor during the past five or six years. Thousands of them are in use the country over. They range in capacity from 2.000 eggs to 50,000 for a single cabinet incubator. These large cabinet machines are almost human in that they are automatic in their temperature and moisture control, and turning the eggs is a simple, easy process. Some of these machines are so large that the ODerator works inside the incubator when caring for the eggs. The other type of mammoth incubators are the soealled long sectional machines, which are made single, double or triple decks high some even having four and five decks. The point of difference between these and the cabinet machines is that each lot of eggs is in a separate compartment bv itself with separate heat regulating and ventilating devices that there is no direct interchange of air or heat from one compartment to another and that the eggs in each compartment are entirely separate. These machines are ranged in a long run of sections sometimes a single machine being 60 to 100 feet long. The heat is usually supplied by hot water heaters at on? end of the machine and circulates in pipes to the eggs. The triple deck machines seem to be escpecially advantageous by which process the eggs are started in the top deck and run there for one week. At the end of the first week they are lowered to the middle deck and run there for one week, and then on the 14th day lowered to the lower deck where they are run through the hatch. This means that the lower deck is th only one which need be provided with the nursery and it is the only one which will be soiled by chicks hatching. The sectional type machine is especially adapted in incubator rooms which are long and narrow and of fairly low ceiling, whereas the cabinet type machines can be kept in rooms which are nearly square, but they must have a relatively high ceiling. In the sectional machines as in the cabinet machines, the regulating devices for heat, moisture, ventilation etc are practically automatic, and turning is carried on with a minimum amount of labor by mans of cranks at the ends of the machine and endless belts passing under the egg trays. The type of mammoth incubator to choose will depend largely upon local coditions, preference location, etc. CORN SHRINKAGE The question is frequently asked as to how much corn shrinks from the time of picking till May 1 or some other date. As a matter of fact, from the standpoint of feeding value corn does not shrink at all, except what may be lost on account of mold and damage done by rodents. These two sources of loss can usually be avoided by proper ventilation of the cribs and by destruction of the rodents or by making the cribs mouse and rat proof. It is true that corn usually losses some water in storage, but when it contains more than 15.5 per cent of moisture, it is graded down and brings a lower price per bushel. Loss of moisture down to 15.5 per cent, while in storage should not be looked upon as “shrinkage” either from a market value or feeding value point of view, for excess moisture is ! not corn. When the moisture exceeds the percentage mentioned it drops be low No. 2 grade. The official standard for No. 2 corn is as follows: “A bushel of corn must be a Win chester bushel, and must contain 2,150.4 cubic" inches of shelled corn that shall have a test weight of at least 53 pounds, not to exceed 15.5 per cent, moisture content, 1 per cent, of heat damage, or 3 per cent, of cracked corn or foreign material if it is grade No. 2.” All water above this percentage Is dockage, not earn, and Ls taken into account by the purchaser by the lower price offered and paid for lower grades. Tire grower does not get paid foe this excess moisture The ontv people who brneflt from the extra weight are the railroads and others who handle the corn by weight. ■■ - »» LAWN ROLLER ESSENTIAL A roller is an absolute necessity for the proper maintenance of the lawn and walks, and those made In sec tions which serve to make turning easy are the best, although their cost prevents many from owning them. One of the lowest-priced machines made is 30 Inches in diameter, and while it is hardly broad enough for lawn rolling, is suitable Tor foot paths It is rather light in weight for its size, but it could be con L slderably improved by filling with concrete, which would moke It much heavier and thereby add to Its effec tiveness.

They could be filled with concrete to give the roller the necessary weight. * TEN SEPARATOR IFS (1.) If the valve on the supply tank is not open wide the separator will be underfed, and a small amount of high testing cream will result. 13.) If the milk is cold the cream will be too thick to flow readily, and a small amount of rich cream is ob tained. (3.) If the separator is dirty and the cream outlet partly clogged, a small amount of rich cream results. i.4.i If the crank is not turned steadily or at the rated speed, a larger amount of thin cream results and cream is lost in the separation. (3.) If flush water or skim milk is allowed to run into the cream, the test will be lowered. (6.) If the separator is not clean, the cream will be of low grade and quality. (7.) If your cream test varies from day to day, it is partly due to the natural variation of the fat content of the milk. (8.) If the separater is set for rich cream, the above conditions will cause a greater variation in the test than if spt fnr thin rrram <9.) If the creamery tests vary, check up on the separator and meth od of operation before blaming the tester. UO.) If the cream is to be sold to a creamery, set the separator to give cream testing 30 to 40 per cent of fat. —— -■ TO PREVENT RICKETS Lameness, rickets, or partial par alysis is a common trouble with hogs in winter and early spring. This trouble can be prevented by feeding bright, leafy alfalfa or other legume hay, says the Ohio Experiment sta tion. Bood sows ordinarily consume enough of such hay when it is kept before them in suitable racks. For fatten tg hogs it may be preferable to include 3 to 5 per cent, of ground or chopped alfalfa or other legume hay in tluslr feed mixture. The addi tion of a mineral mixture contain ing steamed twin1 meal, ground lime stone. acid phosphate and common salt is likewise conductive to health and thrift. From 3 to 3 per cent, of a similar mixture in even a poor ration, has prevented paralysis In cur swine under experiment. • • VV \T< II VENTII.
