Schoharie county potato jgro'wers are contracting their crop at $2 per Author Gives Possible Reason Why Most Publishers Prefer the Clean- Shaven Face. Herbert Jenkins, the London pub lisher Tvho’ occasionally tosses off a boolt himself, tells the story of how on one occasion wiien he was dining with an author and editor, the author suddenly called his attention to a man sitting alone in a far corner of the restaurant. •- “That man,” remarked the author, “has character. He has a publisher from whom he can never extract money. What do you think he did?” Mr. Jenkina shook a dubious head. “He went to the publisher’s office and demanded payment. There was nothing doing. Without ceremony he seized the publisher by the beard and announced his intention of hanging on until he got a check.- He got his money. “That.” continued the author re morselessly, us he fixed a speculative eye Tip on Mr. Jenkins’ clean-shaven chin, “is why very few publishers 'wear bear<lM.” Percentage-of Reactors in Purebred Hereford Herds Was Unusually Low— Eradication Measyres Are Encouraged. (Prepared by the United State.*? Depart ment of Agriculture.) The relative freedom of a herd of cattle from tuberculosis depends on the kind of management the herd re ceives rather than upon a resistance inherent in the cattle themselves. This conclusion, applying to 14 recog nized breeds of cattle in the United Staf-es, is based oh a study of official tuberculin-test records for nearly half a million animals. ' As a basis for an swering inquiries regarding the preva lence of tuberculosis in various classes and breeds of cattle, the federal bu reau of animal industry has compiled all of its test records since the be ginning of tuberculosis-eradication Result of Tuberculin Tests. The results, though capable of re ceiving many interpretations, fail Jo show that any breed can be considered safer from tuberculosis than another. Of 80,670 Hereford cattle tested in purebred herds, the percentage of re actors was unusually low—only 0.77 per cent But in grade herds of the same breed the percentage of reactors was 5.11. In( the Aherdeen-Angus breed the experience was xevefsed. Purebred herds showed 5.79 per cent of reactors, compared with 2.39 in grade herds. Among, the Shorthorns 5.75 per' cent of tuberculosis was found in purebred herds and 3.74 per cent in grade herds, about 77,000 ani mals being included in the computa tions. Although,, it has been frequently as serted that dairy cows, by reason of closer housing, have more tuberculosis than beef cattle, tlio official figures fail to support that a‘-.sumption.

Interesting observations made by Dr. William Sheiipegi-ell, pre.sident of the American Hay Fever Preventiou -association, are reported in a paper 1 in encouraging their members to adopt iWe Have a Oomplete StocR published by him. As a result of a weed-cutting campaign carried out in New Orleans in the spring of 1916 the number of hay fever cases was re duced to less than 50 per cent of the usual prevalence. The “cold storage” treatment, of, the disease, in which practically all ventilation is excluded* in order to insure the absence of at mospheric pollen, is said to afford only -transient relief, while the low tem perature is likely to cause bronchitis. The effects of an abundant rain on hay fever patients is beneficial because the rain not only washes the pollen out of the air, but also permanently remove-s Its toxic qualities, so that it.is harm less when aga.in blown into the air after the rain is over. This has been proved by laboratory experiments, in which pollen, after submersion in wa ter, was inhaled by hay fever subjects without any a]'parent effect. On Ogling Gift Horses. “Sometimes it may prove advanta geous to look a gift horse in the mouth,” remarked an Australian con temporary recently. It was referring to the proposed gift of six airships to Australia and really meant “always look a dirigible in its air-valve.” These six airships are said to have been on patrol duty in the North sea; and Brit ain, according to a cable message to the commonwealth, has offered them with hangar and ei^uipment to the oversea dominion. Australia’s minis ter for defense. Senator Pearce, has placed the problem before the local air board for decision. As a com mercial proposition some enterprising Australian company may welcome the dirigibles, but as^ a defensive equip-* meat they are not regarded wltlh, over much favor. A Registered Hereford Bull Used Grading Up a Herd. dair^; breeds the percentages of re actors w’ere relatively high, but in others the -percentages were low. Likewise in dairy herds, as with beef cattle, there was little uniformity be tween the proportion of reactors for purebreds and grades representing the same breed. Efforts of Owner Count Most. Briefly, the figures indicate that the freedom of a herd from tuberculosis is influenced chiefly by the efforts of the owner to beep the herd healthy, not by the breed. Some breeders’ as sociations have been noticeably active tuberculosis-eradication m e a s u.r e s. The figures are believed to reflect such activity. Furthermore, the compilations dis prove the assertion, sometimes made, that purebred-herds are more suscepti ble to tuberculosis or have more of it than grade cattle. In facL the high est-percentage of tuberculous cattle in any group was for grades. Sd’I? judiciaf s e t t i e n g n t ^ ^ pet? Executor of the iMt Will jmd
