Scientist Finds Cure for Hook Worm. Evidence that is gradually being accumulated by medical men in va rious parts of the world provides a good basis for the belief that carbon tetrachloride, a cheap and common chemical, is a cure for hookworm in human beings. The discovery of the efficacy of the drug in removing parasites was made by Dr. Maurice C. Hall, of the United States Department of Agri culture, who tested it on dogs and even tried out its effect on himself. In the Bogambra prison at Kandy, Ceylon, a country where hookworm is common, this carbon compound was tried on 14 persons with marked success. Among them was a con demned criminal who offered him self as a subject for a thorough test. He was given a maximum dose of 10 cubic centimeters of the drug, which removed 55 hookworms. Twen ty-two days later he was executed. A post mortem examination showed that all these parasites had been re moved. The almost universal success thus! far gives reason to believe that car-| bon tetrachloride is fa1* superior to the old remedies, thymol and oil of | chenopodium. The tests made on human beings in various countries, including the large number in Fiji, bear out those made by Dr. Hall. He found that a very small dose, 03 of a cubic cen timeter to a kilogram of live weight, amounting to less than an ordinary teaspoonful to for a 22-pound dog, was effective, but in one case a dog I was given about 20 fluid ounces (nearly a half pint) without evi dence of injury to the animal.-Pro gressive Farmer. How Much Cottonseed Meal for Cows ?nd Hogs? We doubt if it is ever advisable to feed a dairy cow more than four pounds of cottonseed meal a day, if the feeding is to be continued for| any considerable period. A cow giv ing 34 pounds of milk a day and on green pasture will probably use as much as 5 pounds of cottonseed meal a day to advantage and without in jury, but we think it better to stop at 4 pounds of meal and make up the balance of the ration with some oth er rich protein feed like peanut meal, linseed meal, gluten feed, etc., if more protein is required. In fact, now that cottonseed meal is rather high priced, we think four pounds a day shoul be the maximum fed to any cow. Probably one pound a day is as much cottonseed meal as should ever j be fed to a hog. When the quantity is not limited to a pound a day, we would still make up not more than one-fourth of the ration with cotton seed meal. One of cottonseed meal to three parts of corn by weight is of-] ten used.-The Progresive Farmer. To Avoid Overheating Horses. Heatstroke or overheating is pre-1 vented by avoiding hard work in hot weather, unless the animal is in good condition and accustomed to the work and the heat; by avoiding hard work in hot weather with an animal tvjat runs on pasture or is fed new hay, or a large amount of hay of any sort just before being put to hard work; by keeping the skin in good condition, by regular grooming j and by keeping the animal in good health by proper care and feeding. If an animal at hard work on hot days does not sweat or if it stops sweating, stop work at once and get the animal in the shade, no matter what the desire to continue the work or movement of the animal may be, and as stated apply ice 02: cold water to the hed and hand rub the skin of the body. After the animal has cool ed off some, then sponge the body with cold water and rub dry. It isl also a good practice to wash the whole body and rub it dry once a week in hot weather, especially with an animal that shows tendency to suffer unduly from the heat.-The Progressive Farmer. A couple of sailors got into a dis cussion over the kind of animal a heifer was. One sailor claimed that the heifer belonged to the hog fam ily, the other that it was a variety of sheep. Finally, they called in Boats wain Bill. "Bill, wot's a heifer.-is it a hog or is it a sheep?" they said. "To tell you the truth, mates, I dunno much about poultry."-Lon don Mail.

C. ?5 THE ONLY ENUINS hmm um The Farmer's Right to a Jc uous Existene. Of course the man on the fa: lives more cheaply than the man town. It is not so easy for the f; mer to spend money. There is not 50-cent moving picture show inv ing his purse every night, there no 50-cent ball game or $1 matin almost constantly asking the patrc age of himself and his family in t afternoon; a thousand other thin which are regarded as "necessary e penses of town life are not found the country. But if the farmer spends less f these so-called "advantages" of mo ern life than townspeople spend, that any reason why he should r ceive less for his day's work? Rath should he not receive "equal pay fi equal work" and be able to use h surplus in developing in the counti a compensating and parallel syste of "advantages" adapted to the coi ditions of rural life-public and pi vate libraries , individual and cor munity music, cmomunity meetinj places for music, sports, recreatioi community drama, etc.? In short, the public must not a sume that all the agencies for soci? pleasure are the peculiar right an privilege of the town worker, an that therefore ?no allowance need b made for such expenditures in th country. On the contrary, the farme must demand and get such wages a will enable him to realize upon th profound declaration which forme Secretary of Agriculture David F Houston once made to the writer: "The farmer is entitled to a joy ous existence." Among the inalienable rights tha our Revolutionary ancestors name* as the heritage of every freeman ar< "life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness." But to what extent, may wi ask, has the "pursuit of happiness' been recognized as a right of th? American farmer, the farmer's wife and the farm children? Too often the farmer has been abused because receiving a decent wage for once ir his life during the World War and just after-he indulged in the pur chase of a cheap flivver! And ever the flivver in his case was two-thirds an agency of business, saving him and his teams much valuable time by its quick trips to market and only one-third an agency of pleasure whereas' the majority of town cars are almost exclusively pleasure cars. The public must indeed recognize "the farmer's right to a joyous ex istence" including reasonable recrea tion, social intermingling, music, play and a vacation once a year. The Progressive Farmer. Sweet Potato Market Should be Enlarged. There are undoubtedly tremen dous possibilities in the sweet potato industry in the South. The people of America as a whole are not using much more than one-tenth of the sweet potatoes they should use-and would use if they fully understood how delicious, wholesome, and eco nomical a food the sweet potato is. But if this great development is to be realized, the farmers of the South must make plans for advertising and developing the Northern market in stead of merely organizing market ing associations to supply the de mand that already exists. There ought to be a federation of sweet potato curing and marketing associations and a large fund raised for advertising sweet potatoes to Northern customers, just as the growers of raisins, oranges, and prunes have advertised and develop ed the market for their products. If Southern sweet potato growers are content to organize simply to supply the present national demand, they will soo nbe wrestling with an un marketable overproduction. But i|P they wlil set out in a really effective way to teach the Northern market the many and varied uses of the sweet potato, just as the raisin grow ers have taught the use of haisins, then we have only "touched the hem of the garment" of sweet potato pos sibilities.-Progressive Farmer.

They think we all exactly resemble the Pekin merchant of the story. "According to this story-and it is a gem-a Pekin merchant took a rather notorious foreigner to board with him at the rate of $20 a week. Six months passed, and the rather) notorious ureigner had not yet let his host see the color of his money. "So at the end of six months the Pekin merchant thought the matter over very thoughtfully and reduced the foreigner's board from $20 to $10. He explained that thus, If the foreigner never paid him he would not lose so much money.'"-Detroit Free Press. To Cure a Co?d in One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine.
