that Prevented
Disaster
New schemes to defraud
are being batched daily. The
unscrupulous promoter never
sleeps but is continuously plotting
new methods ot attack on the savers’
hard-won accumulations. The liberties
be takes with the law and the schemes
he designs for belittling the sound
advice ot responsible persons makes
it even more essential for investors to
get the tacts.
Remember that anything that is
worth investing in is worth knowing
about as to its safety, its income, and
its marketability.
Any investment
which is enshrouded by a screen of
glowing promises or is so complicated
that neither you nor your banker can
fathom it and get the hard facts isn’t
an Investment you can afford to put
your money into.
Make it an unbreakable rule to get
all the facts, whether the investment
be large or small, and you will save
yourself the heartaches and bitter dis
appointment of losing your savings.
Millions of dollars which have unfor
tunately been lost through poor invest,
ment might have been saved if the
investors had taken time to investi
gate before investing. There is always
need for capital in safe, honest busi
ness and so great is the legitimate de
mand for Investors’ funds that not one

was fictitious. No such company had

The evidence
also disclosed that some certificates
had already been issued and ex

ber more ready for future use when
ever a trade could be arranged.
Literally thousands of inexperienced
investors are being swindled out of
their good investments in such trades.

It is advisable to have horses’
teeth examined by a competent vet-
rinarian at least once a year. Gen
erally all that will be required is
to file off the long, sharp corners
which are due to uneven wearing.
This roughness first causes sore
tongues or cheeks, followed by a
lack of proper mastication together
with digestive troubles. Older horses
particularly are often much bene
fited by proper attention to the
teeth.
If young pigs show goiter symp
toms, feed them iodized salt daily
In place of the regular salt. In
goiter areas, potassium iodide is
given to sows during the pregnant
period as a preventive measure.
One ounce is dissolved in 2 quarts
of water. One teaspoonful of the
solution for every 6 sows is about
the right dose. The sows are given
the solution daily for a period of
at least 3 months during preg

The size of the back-yard poul
try flock which can be most ef
ficient kept will depend upon the
-pace available and the amount of
table scraps or other waste avail
able for feed. It is a mistake to
overstock the available space. For
a flock of 20 to 25 hens a yard
space of not less than 25 by 30
feet will be required. Where less
space is available the size of the
tiock should bo reduced, allowing
on the average 20 to 30 square
feet per bird.

When screw-worm flies, a species,
of blowfly, are abundant they are
strongly attracted to the slightest
scratch or blood spot on the skin
of livestock. These causes losses
estimated at $4,000,000 or more
annually through attacta on live
stock, says the United States de
partment of agriculture. The de
partment has for some time been
trying to find a material that will
kill the larve and prevent reinfes
tation by repelling the flies. Of all
the materials tested as repellents
against the screw-worm fly, pine
oil, crude turpentine, pine tar, and
pine-tar oil are among the best.
Pine-tar oil, because of its cheap
ness, availability, nontoxicity, and
adhesiveness, is regarded by investi
gators as the best of the materials
tested for use upon wounds of
domestic animals to protect them
aginst screw-worm flies.
