Electricity Everywhere;
Difficult to Define
YOUR PROTECTION is our JOB!
“What is electricity?” is often
asked of the scientists in General
Electric’s research laboratory, pop
ularly known as the “House of Mag
ic.” L. A. Hawkins, executive engi
neer of the laboratory, has an an
swer, although he says whether an
answer is possible depends on the
kind of definition desired.
"For instance, the question ‘What
is water?’ may be answered in three
different ways,” explains Mr. Haw
kins, whose company for the past
65 years has been applying elec
tricity to everything from a minia
ture light bulb slightly larger than
a pinhead to a mammoth 208,000-
kilowatt turbine in a power station.
“First, we may define water by
its composition ; second, by its
source or occurrence, and third, by
its properties, its boiling and freez
ing points, its density, its action as
a solvent, its part in maintaining
life. etc.
“But when we come to electricity,
we find only one kind of definition
is possible, because electricity is
the most fundamental thing in the
universe and is the thing of which
everything else is made. Electricity
cannot be defined by its composi
tion, for it is composed only of it
self. Neither can it be defined by
its source or occurrence, for it is
everywhere, wherever there is mat
ter or radiant energy.
“Therefore, electricity can be de
fined only in the third way, by its
properties—and to describe these
properties adequately requires a
book or several books.”

Here are a few pointers on care
of gas water heaters:
1. Brush burners at least twice a
year. Clean burners give a clean
flame and eliminate backfiring.
2. Open the drain faucet at the
bottom of the heater once a month
or every two months to drain off
sediment. Sediment, if not drained
off, impairs the efficiency of the
heater because it has an insulating
effect. It is not necessary to drain
off much water, just a quart or two
until the water runs clear.
3. Water heaters as well as hot
water piping should be insulated to
conserve heat.
4. The thermostat of the water
heater should be adjusted so that
the temperature will not exceed 140
degrees. Excessive temperatures not
only waste fuel but may be injurious
to the heater and the piping.
5. Conserve fuel by having leak
ing faucets repaired and by not
washing dishes in running hot wa
ter.
Calving Cows
Bringing the dairy cow through
the calving period in best possible
shape is one way of adding to total
milk production without using more
feed. On the other hand, trouble
during this critical time can reduce
the cow’s production for the entire
lactation period. Some recommend
reducing the grain ration a week be
fore calving. During the last few
days give a light, laxative feed of
bran, oats and a little oil meal, to
gether with water from which chill
has been removed. The cow should
have a clean, well-bedded box stall.
It is a good idea to wash the udder
with soap and water to protect the
calf. After calving, the cow should
be offered lukewarm water and left
with the calf in the box stall for a
few days.
Continue the laxative
grain mixture, but do not overfeed.
If the calf can be induced to suck
all quarters, no hand milking is
needed. After the cow is returned
to her stall and milking resumed,
increase the grain gradually. It will
take three to six weeks before the
cow can take full feed, depending on
production.

Air Express
For flying shipments within the
United States, air express began in
September, 1927.
Only 26 cities
were served. A coast-to-coast ship
ment then spent 36 hours in the air,
anj made 16 refueling stops. To
day’s transcontinental trip is an
overnight flight of 16 hours. Last
year 1,405,000 air express shipments
were made, nearly 100 times as
many as in the first complete year
of the service. This year express
cargo has hurtled through the skies
at the rate of more than 40 tons each
day. over 18 commercial airlines
whose routes aggregate 45.000 miles.
These air-borne tonnages include
lightweight merchandise such as
flowers and latest-style Easter bon
nets. but shipments are headed by
machinery, electrical parts and
hardware. These items amount to
27 per cent of the total weight.

It has been indeed a pleasure to serve you.”

impossible to render good service when one feels
ill and cannot get proper rest. For this reason, we
have switched our scene of operation to Heppner

Strawberries need a mulch of
straw or hay for the winter, both to
protect the roots from the alternate
freezing and thawing which breaks
them and heaves up the then root-
less plants, and also to protect the
fruit buds from extreme cold. The
mulch usually should go on the
strawberry bed in late November,
before the ground freezes thorough
ly. Several inches of straw or hay
make the best mulch. Leaves mat
down easily and kill some of the
crowns of the plants, but may be
used if nothing else is handy. Corn
stalks are too coarse to give the
strawberries much protection with
out making the covering too heavy
and thick. Marsh grass is an ex
cellent mulch.
