Curing Them by Radio. As you gaze at the sky It seems incredible that through the apparently empty air this merciful work is quietly functioning all the while. Indeed, side by side with the radio waves that bring entertainment to your home, there are the waves bearing the staccato messages of traffic, some of which Is ddvoted to the radio medical service. Countless radiograms bear witness to cures by stating at the close of the case, Tatient all o. k., normal yesterday, and today no symptoms of any kind; many thanks. More than one operation has been performed by the ships crew, working under the direction of a surgeon miles away. Once the United States liner America picked up a stray message from a lone freighter stating that 19 members of Its crew were suffering from a painful malady. Only the vaguest details were forthcoming, as would be expected from laymen. The vessels at the time were some 300 miles apart diagobviously a case of nosis. Putting their heads together and working on tbe meager details, doctors diagnosed the aliment as ptomaine poisoning. For two days the men of the freighter were treated by radio instruction.

Far out at sea a freighter Is plowing through the Inky blackness of a turbulent, writhing sea, her haze amidsailing lights and a dim-lships alone disclosing her. So far as can be seen In the uncertain light there is no sign of life on her heaving decks. The silence is unbroken save for the swish of the parted waves against the sides of the vessel. In the officers quarters a man lies tossing fitfully in his Ifunk, groaning pitifully with each heave of the pitching vessel. He gazes round the room with glazed eyes. Ills face is puffed from an Inner swelling. This ship, like numerous others that sail the seven seas, carries no doctor. Yet, here Is a case for a doctor. It may be a question of life or death. Medical advice is urgently needed. What is to be done? this Fortunately, freighter 'Is equipped with radio apparatus. And that means much. The radio operator Is soon pounding his key, and presently his call Is picked up by another vessel miles away, in reply to the unwritten code of the sea. This is the message: S.S. West Adrian ABC To Captain S.S. Glenwood Castle: Have man with intense swelling right side face. Does not abate. Patient delirious. Have you doctor on board to wireless treatment? it CAPTAIN. moments later the radio operator picks up his pencil and Jots down this reply on a radiogram blank : A few S.S.

An exchange of radiograms and with It the probable result of a life saved. A few S.S. West Adrian To Captain Glenwood Castle: ABC Patient resting easily after treatments and pain greatly relieved. Please accept my compliments and thanks. CAPTAIN. That Is the significant story behind the radio medical service. . Radio Medical Service. Over four years ago the radio medical service had Its modest beginning to Make Money 19-- high-pow- Ships Without Doctors Get Directions for Treatment of Sick. Keep Bees Busy er In an Idea of Captain Huntington, chief of the medical and first-aicourse for seamen at the Seamens Church Institute in New York. He described his plan to Doctor Mansfield, in charge of the Institute, who Immediately saw in it a practical and humane service. On November 3, 1920, a special radio telegraph station license with the call letters KDKF was issued to the institute. Soon KDKF began to disseminate medical service to ships in its vicinity, from 9 a. m. till 5 p. m., during which period the institutes doctor was on duty. The Idea proved highly practicable. KDKF soon received the so to speak, over all calls except the S. 0. S. of ships in distress. And soon it became manifest to all in touch with the development that the radio medical service must be continuous for 24 hours a day. So, on April 20, 1921, KDKF was licensed to operate 24 hours a day. The day and night service was made possible when the public health service took an active interest In the institutes work and offered the services of Its staff at the Marine hospital on Hudson street, so as to furnish medical advice by night as well as by day. A direct telephone connection was Double Service. made between the Institute and the At another time another freighter hospital, and In tills manner medical called to the America stating that a Information was now on tap for the member of Its crew was In agony. lonely steamer within ready reach of The doctor then aboard the America New York. studied the case by means of the data One more obstacle still confronted supplied, and prescribed by radio.

In fact, he has some very human qualities. He works when there Is an Incentive to work, and he has been known to loaf on the job dreadfully when he has gotten up enough honey to keep him through the winter. The bee would not contribute much to mans sweet tooth if he was not persuaded to do so through Intelligent handling, and through fear of starvation. ' A hive of bees can be kept at work through most of the summer If you keep this fear constantly before the workers. Quit When Full. Under the old system of hiving a good swarm seldom produced more than 10 to 20 pounds of honey a season for the keeper. This was due to the fact that when Mr. Bee got his house full of honey, he quit working. Since beekeepers adopted the sectional hive with supers holding small pound frames, the records of production of a single hive have constantly grown until beekeepers say that in good seasons they sometimes run 200 pounds of honey to the hive. Certainly 60 to 80 pounds Is an average yield. The point is to keep a continual watch on each hive during the honey flow and to remove the filled supers as fast as possible, putting in empty ones. If you dont do this, you are losing just so much return from the bees. Oftentimes to delay doing It at the right time, finds the bees out of the notion and they will continue to loaf. By planting alsike clover for mid- summer feeding and even for late summer, the bees can be kept working right along during hot weather, and they can finish off on buckwheat or some other late crop. Buckwheat honey, however, does not appeal to the market as clover honey. If there Is any considerable planting of sweet clover near by, either in fields or growing wild along the roadsides, it will keep the bees busy until well into the fall. And sweet clover is one of the best and clearest you can find. Prices for Honey. Last season honey was bringing beekeepers 50 cents a pound right at the local markets.. In the larger cities, the price was even more favorable. And every pound that the bees can be en- honey-make- rs Satisfactory Ration to Produce Baby Beeves Beef cattle Investigations conducted by the animal husbandry department of the Kansas State Agricultural college show that fairly satisfactory baby beef can be produced on a ration consisting of cane silage, shelled corn, and no alfalfa hay. The calves fed this ration gained 2.08 pounds per head per day for 197 days. The high degree of finish and economy of gains, according to the result of a second experiment, are determined by the length of time a limited amount of alfalfa hay Is fed with cane silage, shelled corn, and cottonseed meal. The longer a limited amount of aalfa is fed with this ration the greater the finish and economy of gain. Another test showed . that alfalfa alone Is a satisfactory roughage- to feed with shelled corn In fattening baby beef for market In so far as gains - are concerned. so long. Spray for Vegetables Arsenate of lead Is better than parls green as an application on vegetables and vines such as the potato, cucumber and bean, because It will stick to the plant longer. Paris green, however, will kill the bugs as quickly and as readily as arsenate of lead. Arsenate of lead should be used at the rate of one teaspoonful to two gallons of water, well stirred or at tha rate of 1 pound to 50 gallons of water for arsenate of lead and pound of parts green M 50 gallons oi water. Cover the plants thoroughly to get good results. one-ha- Pigs Ready for Market Full feeding with a balanced ration on good pasture gets the pigs ready for market a full month before those that are given only a half grain ration during the first three or four months -- - after weaning.
