New ‘Cow Bomb' Used In Spraying Animals Dry DDT Crystals Now Practical for Spray A new animal disinfectant device, called the “iscomist cow bomb”, is now available for use on live- tstock. The cow bomb is used to apply a •deposit of dry DDT crystals to the hair and hide of livestock for pro tection against the horn fly, house fly, stable fly, cattle lice, ticks, mosquitoes and certain other in sects. Dry DDT goes into suspension in water less readily than any other form and withstands rain more de sirably. It contains no oil to cause burning or to help DDT penetrate the hide. The DDT particles are microscopic in size and thus a given amount covers a greater s^ea than other forms. It is said one iscomist cow bomb will treat approximately 100 cattle with the recommended 30 second treatment. It provides pro tection for cattle on pasture for about three weeks under average conditions. To help prevent lice in festation, prophylactic treatment of all additions to the herd is recom mended. The iscomist cow bomb can be used on dairy and beef cattle, hogs, horses and sheep. The procedure recommended for cows is to cover the body of the animal with paint sprayer motions at from 12 to 18-inch distances; for legs only 6-8 inches. Total time per cow is about 30 seconds. Advantages of the bomb include microscopic coating of each hair and the hide of the animal with the DDT particles; less wash-off as compared with wettable powder and dusts, more equal results; saves chore time, and can be done with no mixing, cleaning or fuss. Heat Hurts Cows American dairy farmers have learned that some discontented cows, like some discontented women, can be expensive as well as unpleasant. Most of the cow's troubles can be traced to heat and humidity. A cow, unlike a human being, can perspire only through the mouth. So when the temperature and humidity in side a barn get high, the animal becomes uncomfortable and stub born—particularly at milking time. The U. S. department of agri culture says an average cow gives off almost a pint of water every hour through breathing. In addition to the high humidity caused by this breathing, a'cow has an extremely high body temperature. During the winter months when the cows are in the barn most of the time, this combination results in the generation of an enormous amout of water vapor and heat. When the warm, moisture-laden heat comes into contact with the cold walls, condensation and frost is formed. The net result to the farmers is rotting beams, joist and siding; a loss of hay because of the mold created by moisture and frost; milk contamination, disease, par ticularly among the young stock; reduction of milk production be cause of the discomfort to cows, and farmers are forced to work un der unpleasant conditions. Superphosphate Held Best For Sugar Beet Fertility Ordinary superphosphate is the best source of phosphate when used as a fertilizer for sugar beets, wheat and barley, according to Dr. Sterling R. Olsen, USDA soil scientist and Robert Gardner, agronomist at the Colorado A&M college experiment station. Experiments on various ferti lizers containing radioactive phos phorous, indicate that calcium meta- ohosphate was a close second. THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S.

WILSON LD MR. CRANE sat in a pad ded armchair before the Are in his room. The pipe and tobacco on the table beside him went up- touched. Old Mrs. Cranston had given him the pipe and tobacco, the armchair and the basement room. In return he tended the furnace and sometimes swept the &oor. Old Mr. Crane began to think about himself as he’d have liked to have been. He might dream that he’d had a fine father and moth er, maybe a doc tor and a teacher. Someone whose money came in regular and who’d have seen that he got educated; who could have found what he was suited to and maybe given him a start. He’d have married, well, someone like Alda Rich, who used to ride her bicycle past his father's house and who sometimes stopped to speak to him. Alda was Dr. Rich’s daughter and spoke to everybody. A nice girl, not stuck- up or proud. The children would have been like Alda, too. Two boys and two girls. He’d have called the elder girl Alda and one of the boys for himself, Milton Crane, Jr. People would have written it that way on letters. He’d seen it that way when be’d carried in the mail for old Dr. Rich that summer when he mowed lawns for his keep. Dr. Rich had given him many a stray quarter on the side. "Seems as if such a rich country should be able to give you a better chance, son." Young as be was, he felt something both sorrowful and angry in the doctor's voice. After Algy, the smallest, got pneumonia and died, their father had failed. He and Sam had quit school and gone to work, he him self into the grocery business. But he drifted from job to job. Sam put it in words, “It’s not that you don’t mean right or that you’re lazy, but it seems like you have got to be moving.” Sam had always been good to him just the same as he had been good to Dad. Sam was lead now. He'd felt bad when Sam died. He’d moved around just as Sam said, and when he was young and strong, he’d managed pretty well— harvesting, lumbering, sailing once on a boat. It’s a life that's hard on a man, having no proper comforts. Once Sam had come out to visit Seemed the girls got tired of him and looked to steadier men. him. “You’re getting no younger. Maybe you should think of marrying and settling down." I N THE end, he’d had to help out Sam. It hadn’t been much he’d had to give Sally when Sam died, but until Sam’s boy grew up, he’d stayed at that elevator and worked hard. Sally’d asked him to come and live with them, but Sally had a nice house and, after knocking around all over, a man gets kind of rough. It wouldn’t have been fitting, and he’d always tried to do what was fitting. It was in the hospital that Mrs. Cranston found him. She’d given him the room and the chair and yesterday she’d given him the to bacco and the pipe, although the furnace was black out. "Never mind the furnace," she’d said, "We’ll get someone to look after that—just rest." She knew. She was his kind. They must have told her that he hadn’t long to go. It was nice here, dreaming of Alda by the fire, and, maybe, a kid or two, though he’d known well, it wasn’t fitting for him to be looking at Alda Rich after her father died. He must have fallen asleep and been talking again for old Mrs. Crans ton, who had been Alda Rich, came in. She was holding a glass and there spare tears in her voice when she tpoke. “Drink this, Milt, you’ve jus/ been having a bad dream.” Released by WNU Features. Baking's Fun “Oh, if I could only bake like Mrs. McConnell or Mrs. Larsen,” wails many a homemaker, not knowing how really simple baking a. The cakes, rolls, bread and even simple things like cookies chat bring warm exclamations of praise are really no more diffi- eult to make than baking a po tato, or cooking green beans. Yes, I’ll admit they’re a little more complicated, but certainly no more difficult. Surely, any of you can sift flour into a cup or crumble a cake of yeast in a bowl. Well, those are some of the things you have to do when you bake, but taken step- by step, all of which are simple, there is nothing much more difficult in baking. Measurements are important. Why? So that you will always have the same results. Are you saying that grandmother never measured, still she had perfect results? Well, grandmother had a pretty keen eye, and if her eye sight was a little bit off, perhaps she blamed the results on the weather or the oven. You’ll never have to resort to that if you meas ure carefully and follow the same directions that gave you success the first time. Bread baking may seem like a difficult task, but I’ve never known a beginner who didn’t bake an almost perfect loaf of bread. The reason is, perhaps, that she reads and follows directions so carefully that she can’t possibly go wrong. Here’s how: White Bread (Makes 4 1-pound loaves) 2 cups scalded milk 4 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons salt 3 tablespoons shortening 2 cakes compressed yeast softened in 2 cups lukewarm water 12 cups (3 pounds) flour Combine milk, sugar, salt and shortening. Cool to lukewarm. Add the yeast softened in luke warm water. Blend in flour. Knead dough on well floured board, using this method: Fold dough toward you, push away with a rocking motion, using the heels of the palms. Turn dough slight ly and repeat the folding-pushing motions, with a rhythm (this makes it fun!) If dough sticks, add a very little bit of flour to the board. To obtain a fine grained bread, knead for 10 min utes. Then place dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place until double in bulk (about 1% hours) or until dough LYNN SAYS: Make Your Baking Easy: By following these tips that save time and energy and put an end to confusion L Read the-recipe so you know what ingredients, uten sils and method are needed. 2. Assemble all ingredients and utensils before starting to mix so you need not stop after mixing is once begun. 3. Arrange ingredients and utensils for easy and efficient operation.

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:5-7. DEVOTIONAL READING: Matthew 13:44-53. Ideal World Lesson for February 27, 1949 ft NY MAN with a revolutionary new idea has to try to explain it. Jesus was no exception. As a young teacher of religion, he had to answer the question which older teach ers were bound to put to him: If your teaching is new, how can it be true? And if it is true, what can be new about it? This was a fair question. The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ an- Dr. Foreman swer to it. The main theme of that sermon is the kingdom of God, an ancient phrase but with new meanings as Jesus used it. We can say “The Ideal World” and mean just the same thing. • • • * The Right People ESUS EMPHASIZES, above all, the kind of people who belong tc God’s Ideal World. This would be surprising to some modern plan ners. Communists think that if you can once get a world in which every one has enough to eat and drink and wear, a world where nobody is poor (or everybody is as poor as every body else, which is all the same thing), you will have the perfect world. Jesus would know this is nonsense. But the fact is that even after yon got your perfect social sys tem, with perfect politics and perfect distribution of wealth, even a perfect climate and soil, yon would still be nowhere near the Ideal World unless yon im proved your people. The wrong kind of people will spoil the best kind of system. So we find Jesus talking not about sys tems but about people. • • • Is This Yon? W HAT WE call the “beatitudes” (Matt. 5:7-12) is Jesus’ eight point program for the citizens of the Ideal World. The right peo ple are happy people, to begin with. (The word translated “Blessed” is a regular Greek word for “happy.”-) But the main difference between different kinds of people is not that some want to be happy while others do not; rather it is that they are made happy by different kinds of things. Jesus’ ideal people are humble not proud; they see their sins and are sorry for them; they ar- “meek”—that is, they are not In i hurry to demand their own rights; they do not merely admire good ness, they are positively hungry for It; they are merciful, not careless or cruel; they are pure in heart and not only in speech and act; they are not mere peace-wishers or peace-lovers (who isn’t?) but peace makers; they are people who are brave enough to do what is right not only when it is comfortable and popular but even when it brings them slander and suffering. • • • Salt O YOU really want an ideal world? The best way to begin Is to learn how to be a citizen of such a world. Jesus used two in teresting simple words to describe the kind of people he means. You are salt, he said, — you are light. Salt and light are old-fashioned things but they have never gone out of date. No one has invented a good substitute for either one. So there is no substitute for a really good Christian. Liv ing, here and now, like citizens of the ideal world to come, Christians are both salt and Ught. Salt because they give a taste to otherwise flat or bitter life. Salt because they keep human society from going rotten. This world is in a bad enough mess as it is; but arhat It would be if all the Chris- aans were removed from it at once, )ne hates to think. • • • Light A ND LIGHT! Like salt, light ought not to be too noticeable, k glaring light is bad on the eyes, as too much salt is bad on the tongue. So a Christian is not sup posed to rub his goodness in on sther people, so to speak. He is as indispensable as salt in bread—and ihould be as inconspicuous. But Ught, like salt, if it is any good has to be applied directly. A strong tight concealed in a steel tube does ao good. Swishing the glass end of the salt-cellar around in the soup fives it no flavor. The salt must get into the soup, the light must touch what we see.

A YOUNG woman went Into t large London store to buy a pair of birds. She told the salesman the variety she wished, and that she desired a male and a female. The birds were finally selected and handed to her. She then asked the salesman how she could tell the difference be tween the two. He instructed her to go to another store to buy a supply of male and female worms, and told her that when she fed the worms to the birds, the male bird would always eat the female worms while the female bird would eat the male worms. She thanked him and went on her >vay When she got to the door, she turned and came back to the sales man and said: “I must be stupid, but how am i going to tell which are the male and which are the fe male worms?” And his reply was: “Madam, I am only a bird expert; you will have to see a worm expert about that” ANYTHING TO PLEASE After going about three miles the motorist who had given an old lady a lift on the country road asked: “And where did you say you were going?” “Well,” she said, “to tell you the truth, I was going in the opposite direction, only I didn’t like to hurt your feelings when you were so kind as to ottei me a ride.” HAD ENOUGH The girl in the bus took ner j powder puff from her pocket and began powdering her face. : That finished, she took out her ; lipstick and made up the curves j of her mouth.

The old Chinaman replied, with a smile: “Same time your friend come up to smell flowers.” Mistake A rookie in the cavalry was told to report to his lieutenant. “Private Jcnes,” said the lieu tenant, “take my horse down and have him shod ” After three hours’ wait, the offi cer hunted up Jones and found him cleaning his gun. “Jones, ’ ne said, “where’s the horse I told you to have shod?” The private turned pale and gas ped, “Oh, did you say shod?” Flatterer Daughter: “I met the best-looking young officer at the dance, and he told me I was the prettiest girl he had ever seen.” Mother: “Now, my dear, don’t trust any man who starts to deceive you at the very first meeting.” Ought to Know Girl (quizzing sailor home on leave) — What would you do if your gun captain's head was blown off in the midst of battle? Sailor—N othing. Girl—Why not? , Sailor—I’m the gun captain. Which?
