CARS PENETRATE THE DESERT
British In Egypt Find Travel by Mo
tor Better Than Camel for'Some
Purposes.
I have motored In the Egyptian des
ert from eight or ten different places
and I heard the same thing every
where, "cars and camels for this Job"
the car for the dash and rush to get
there before anyone can hear you are
moving; the camel, the old ship of the
desert, for the slow and sure, time
Immemorial method. Both go where
the railway Is not and never will be;
both play their different parts with al
most unerring certainty, but until this
war began only one man tried a motor
Journey In the desert, and he, like
many another pioneer, was voted a
fool. Yet toduy muny hundreds of
troops depend on curs for their sub
sistence, and they live as securely as
comrades encamped on main railway
lines, W. T. Massey writes In the Lon
don Telegraph. So perfect and reli
able bus the car supply service become
that the vehicles move to n timetable,
and at one spot I have seen two con
voys which started IK) miles apart meet
to exchunge loads at the exuet mo
ment fixed by the conductor.
The cars have run over thousands
of miles of the roughest desert. Wa
ter Is as essential as petrol, and In a
waterless area extreme care has to be
taken ugalnst running short. It occa
sionally happens that curs get stuck,
and they are freed by shoveling awaj
iho sand nnd laying down short
lengths of planks beneath the wheels.
Planks and stout ropes for towing
form part of each car's equipment.
The light cars are mostly of Ameri
can make. They, too, have done well,
but the wear and tear is infinitely
greater than In British cars and as one
machine wenrs out the best parts are
transferred to motors beginning to
show Blgns of failure.

(From the t'liltcd State Department of
Agriculture )
An Insect destructive to the pencil
nnd kindred frulK believed to be new
In the United States, has been discov
ered by entomologists of the United
States department of agriculture In the
District of Columbia and its environs.
This Insect, which In Its udult form Is
a brownish moth und in its larval stage
a small white and pink cuterpllfar, at

causing serious 1osmh.
Because of the habits of the worm,

WINTER CARE FOR CHICKENS
Every Preparation Made to Insura
Fowls With Proper Supply of
Food Will Be Repaid.
In tho winter the core of poultry Is
quite a task and every preparation
that Is made to reduce work and In
sure the birds with a proper supply of
clean food will bo well repaid. On
the genernl farm tho cattle, sheep and
hogs will doubtless come first nnd too
often the hens nre neglected. Tho
only way to Insure proper treatment
for the poultry flock Is to equip tho
house with feeding appliances that
will enable tho farmer to cure for tho
flock without wasting time. All of tho
hoppers can be mado on tho farm
from packing boxes or scrap lumber
nnd when once constructed tho Job Is
done nnd tho hens will pay for the
labor many timers
GOOD HENHOUSE EQUIPMENT
Low Table for Water and Milk Is
Handy Hopper for Dry Mash Is
of Much Importance.
Keeping the flock In good condition
Is more easily accomplished If the
house Is furnished with good equip
ment. An oblong table about two feet
high and long enough for the water
pall and a crock of sour milk will bo
useful In protecting tho receptacles
from the litter on the floor.
A large feed noppcr which will hold
a week's supply of dry mash is Im
portant. Small hoppers for feeding
grit, oyster shell aud charcoal nre nec
essary. An effort to get along without the
hoppers will nlways result In wasted
feed or a poor condition of the flock
If any of the necessary ingredients are
cot furnished.

will continue to study it In the hopo
of developing control measures.
What the Insect Is.
The Insect, known to science as Las
peyresla molesta, is hellccd to havo
been Introduced from Japan. So far as
tin' department's entomologists know,
It has ncit been found lu America other
than lu the District of Columbia and
In the adjoining territory lu Maryland
and Virginia. The specialists are de
Mums of knowing if the Insect has at
tacked peach, plum, or cherry trees
cNcwhere l,y the United States.
The presence of the Insect can best
be determined lu most cases by the na
ture of Us Injury to peach trees. It
bores into practically every tender
twig and causes new shoots to push
out from lateral buds. These are at
tacked in turn, the abnormal stimula
tion of lateral growth producing n
much branched and bushy plant. A co
pious flow of gum from the twig ends
often follows the attack of tlie cater
pillars. Injury to Fruit.
In attacking fruit the young enter
pillars generally eat through tho skin
nt or near the point of attachment of
the fruit stem. The larva, as It grows,
makes Its way to tho pit, where It
feeds on the flesh, which soon becomes
much discolored nnd more or less
slimy. Lurvao entering nt tho side of
the fruit are more likely to eat out
pockets or cavities in the flesh.
The full-grown caterpillar spins n
whitish Bilk cocoon In which to pupate.
Moths emerge In the spring for egg
Inylng by the time the shoots aro well
out.
Tho bureau of entomology, United
States department of agriculture, es
pecially requests owners of peach or
other fruit trees to report tho presence
of this now pest In their orchards.
Specimens of twigs mny be mailed
wrapped In paper or, preferably, in a
suitable box.
TREES PROTECT FARM FOWLS
In Summer They Afford Shade and In
Winter Some Protection From
Wind and Sleet.
Those who live near a forest where
tho chickens, turkeys and guineas may
have tho range of tho forest nre for
tunnte. In tho summer the trees af
ford shade, in tho winter some pro
tection from the chilling winds and
driving sleet. Besides trees protect
the soil ; keep It from washing or blow
ing; they shed their leaves, making a
covering to hold moisture, protect In
sects, etc.
Fowls delight to scratch among
leaves under trees and In a llttlo for
est. Turkeys will cat acorns nnd And
many Insects In such places as tho
forest or grove.
Whore one lives on n prairie or on
tho plains it would bo well worth
whllo to plant a few trees near tho
homo to protect It from tho blenk
winds, add to Its setting nnd at the
same time give tho fowls a place to
"range." Even on tho plains such
quick growth as black locust or ca
talpa could bo planted and It would
not bo long till a nice little grove
would bo had. There are other trees
that grow fast and would soon make
sufficient growth to bo of use to tho
poultry. Tho trees need not waste,
for when largo enough for posts or
other useful put poses they could be
thinned and younger growth left to
take the place of the older.
Even where one has but n city lot
or n small poultry yard on tho farm
a few shrubs could be used to advan
tage for shade In summer and for win
ter protection. Figs, privet, grape
vines, Juponlca, Deutzla, splreu, lilac
and other shrubs or vines might bo
used for this purpose.
RAISING MUTTON AND WOOL
Marketable Lamba Can Be Produced
by Crosilng Western Ewes With
Good Mutton Ram.
Native or western ewes crossed with
n good mutton ram produce good mar
ketable lambs and with present prices
of wool, tho fleece will more than pay
tho cost of keeping the ewes. Native
owes will be high in price.
Western breeding ewes can bo pur
chased in carload lots at any of the
stockyards. Ono hundred and thirty
to ono hundred und forty will bo re
aulred to make up a carload.
THE CAR SHORTAGE
Committee Tells Congress How Fam
ine Injures Nebraska
"Thirty to thlrty-tlvo per cent of
Nebraska wheat Is still on the farms
or in the elevators, unable to bo
moved on account of tho boxcar
shortage."
This was tho testimony of Hallway
Commlsslncr V. 11. Taylor, who
urged intfifltate commerce control of
freight shipping i tiles before the In
terstate and foreign commerce com
mitteo of the house of representa
tives lu Washington, D. C, last week.
Mr. Taylor laid before the com
mitteo tho Joint resolutions of tho
two houses of tho Nebraska legisla
ture asking congroxH to Inciease the
powers of the Interstate rnmmorco com
mission to permit It to make aud
enforco rules on shipping which
would tend to rollev such a national
car shortago as has bevn cxpciicnccd
the past few mouths.
The case of ono tdilppcr was cited
by Commissioner Taylor, who had
00,000 bushels of wheat In nn elova
tor and wus nimble to get moio I linn
ono car a week. The commissioner
called the attonllou of the committeo
to tho fact that lu the last few days
wheat had dropped 20 cents, aud thu
shipper, unable to get cars, was
standing to lose $12,000.
The net shortage, ho said, amount
ed to 24,000 bo cars out of KIO.OOO
owned by lines in Nebraska.

To Create School Book Commission
Creation of a stato school book
commlsHlon, with n secretary draw
ing $3,000 a year Balary as Its prin
cipal officer with a view to having
tho state of Nebraska print text
books for all of Its public schools
or contrnct for their publication on
a royalty basis, is tho departure pro
posed by Representative Anton, now
boforo tho houso committeo on edu
cation. It carrlos an appropriation of $134,
500, but Representative Taylor la pro
posing to havo that amount Included
In his $l,000,000-a-year special stato
lovy for support of rural schools, and
that may bo done. Mr. Taylor Is
only too glad to do this, as ho fig
ures It will help in tho passage of
bis own bill.
Tho commission, undor tho terms
of this contemplated enactment,
would have power to purchase copy
rights and to buy tho product of
text-book compilers. Aftor that was
dono it could havo tho books print
ed and supplied to school boards at
cost, as is dono in Kansas and soina
other states.
To Prevent Mliute of Mileage
Stato olllclals and employes may bo
prohibited from buying railroad mllo
ago books by tho addition of a clause
to tho genoral maintenance bill in tho
legislature, requiring the purchase of
a ticket and tho taking of a recoipt
therefor on each trip mado on state
business. This provision, If inserted,
will bo an Ironclad one, Intended to
stop once and for all the abusos re
sulting from misuse of mileage.
Tho finance committee of the house,
which 1b now proparing tho depart
mental maintenance bill for Introduc
tion lias had its clerk investigate tho
mileage accounts of several stato of
ficers and bureaus which seemed to
have mado extravagant expenditures
under that heading In the last bion
nlum. The committeo is convinced
that tboro is need for radical reform,
but just how to bring It about has
bean a perplexing problem.
It Is bollovcd that a blanket para
graph In the aproprlatlon bill, abso
lutely cutting out all ofllclal mileage,
will go a long way toward putting tho
traveling oxpensos of every depart
ment on a proper basis.
Blind Relief Bill Referred Back.
Partial consideration was given to
tho Mills bill authorizing county
board b to furnish financial relief for
blind parsons not exceeding $.100 per
year each. Mr. Loldigh said this would
bankrupt Otoo county, whoro thoro aro
many sightless people needing assist
ance on account of tho state school for
blind being located there. Ho thought
tho stato should furnish tho funds to
help them. The bill was referred back
to tho committee on miscellaneous
BUbJccts.
Governor Neville has signed his namo
to two bills pased by both houses of
the legislature that made them the
first laws to be enacted by tho 1917
legislature.
The first was House Roll No. 1, by
HoffmoUter of Chase, requiring for
feiture of undeveloped right-of-way.
Tho second, House Roll No, 86, by
Flansberg of Lancaster, shortened the
time allowed for appoal to the su
preme court from six to three months.
Nelthor contains an emergency
clause, and so will not become effect
ive until July.

SAINT OF CANDY MAKERS
Macarlus, Egyptian Man of Fame,
Properly Entitled to Such Honor
as That Name Entails.
Frobnbly few of tho confectioners
nnd candy makers who cater to tho
public's "sweet tooth" nro nwaro that
they have n patron saint nil their own,
but such Is tho enso. Ho ntr St.,
Macarlus. Macarlus was adopted by
tho confectioners as their protector
because ho himself followed the oc
cupation of making sweets In Alex
andria before ho forsook tho world
nnd Its ways and retired to Thcbals
In upper Egypt to live the solitary nnd
Bclf-sacrlflclng life of nn nnchorlte.
Macarlus lived In tho fourth cen
tury, nnd, If wo may believe tho tra
ditions concerning htm, ho was a
chnmplon faster. For seven years, It
Is related, he lived on n diet com
posed of raw herbs nnd pulse. Dur
ing Lent ho ate on Sundays, nnd then
but n few cnbbago leaves. One of the
remnrkablo talcs told about the
"candy saint" Is that once, having
killed a gnnt that bit him, he expiated
tho "crime" by spending six months
In a marsh, where great venomous
files nbounded, subjecting himself to
such torments that he became a mass
of sores.
