For years the value of sunlight to growing stock has been admitted without much argument, but just now and why it should be so, has not been so In an effort to get widely known. some definite facts along these lines, Trof. A. M. Shaw, dean of agriculture and head of the animal husbandry department of the University of Saskatchewan, has carried out a series of experiments with young pigs and has reported his findings in Scientific Agriculture. Three trials were run in the winter and one in the summer, and the findings were unanimous in at least one respect that direct sunlight prevented the development of rickets, or rapidly improved those that, had it, and it also helped make greater gains In young pigs kept in the open than in those kept under any kind of glass. It was also shown that young pigs benefited by direct sunlight much more than those three or four months of age. The question of the kinds of rations the pigs got, that is whether they were balanced or not, did not seem to be so important as whether they included green legumes or other green plants. But the main fact deduced from these experiments is that all growing pigs, particularly those under three months of age, need access to a yard in which they can get plenty of exercise and obtain the full benefits of sunshine in order to make their most economical gains. Chemicals may be used instead of hot water in sterilizing milk utensils, and many farmers are Unding this an easy method of keeping milk cans and other dairy equipment clean and sanitary, says L. H. Burgwald, professor of dairy technology at the Ohio State university. Chlorinated lime, which may be procured in cans, is commonly used for this purpose. In preparing the chemical for use in sterilizing milk can of chloriutensils, one nated lime is thoroughly dissolved in a gallon of water, the dear solution Is syphoned off, stored in a tightly stoppered glass bottle and placed in a cool dark place. In the presence of sunlight the solution rapidly loses its strength. After milking, Burgwald states, the utensils are immediately rinsed with cold water and then washed with hot water containing a washing powder (not a soap powder). After the milk utensils have been thoroughly washed with the hottest water possible to handle, they are then rinsed with a soof lution made by adding a the chlorine solution to five gallons of water. The chemical is effective in killing bacteria if the milk cans are clean, hut if they are dirty If will do but little good. Cans returned from the milk plants or creameries may be rinsed with the chlorinated lime solution and then drained just before milking time. e being used on projects both in Utah and Idaho, Mr. Finch said.

Shelter During Winter for Stock Is Essential It is essential to give thought and attention to the winter shelter of live stock. The principal need is for protection from cold weather and storms. Keep live stock in the sunshine as much as possible but provide a place for them to get out of the cold storms and wind. It is not advisable to try to house them in tightly closed dark stables, for sunshine and fresh air with plenty of exercise and a satisfactory ration makes the best conditions to insure health and good growth. Young stock closely housed will not grow nearly as well as those that spend most of their time in the open when the weather is not too bad.

The levy will be larger for 1931 than in 1930 because there is a smaller balance and because the poor fund for the eomng year has been increased. OGDEN Expenditures of $30,524 on special highway construction work in Utah for relief of unemployment was made during December, according, to B. J. Finch, district engineer of the United States bureau of public roads. Under normal conditions, this money would have been expended in the spring, but in order to aid the employment situation, contractors agreed to carry on winter work. Local labor is Messina, one of the most important towns is regaining the glories In the It lost appalling earthquake some 22 years ago. One of the most striking of its new buildings is a tower which contains the most wonderful clock in the world. The tower is surmounted by a bronze lion holding the city flag in its front paws. At midday the lion lashes its tail, waves the flag, and roars. A bronze cock placed below the lion crows a greeting to sunrise, noon, and sunset Two arched recesses contain the bells upon which the hours are struck by figures of Diana and enza, the heroines who save the city from being sacked by the French after the Sicilian Vespers in 1282. On each of the four sides of the tower is a luminous dial eight feet in diameter upon which are displayed the phases of the moon, a perpetual calendar, and the movements of the planets round the sun. Below the clock face is a stage upon Which mechanical figures enact scenes appropriate to the great feasts of the church.

With the completion of the Ferron reservoir next year, that body of water will be heavily stocked with fish, so that Sanpete, Emery and Carbon county sportsmen 'should find better fishing than in past seasons. SALT LAKE. The floods in Davis county (in 1923 and 1930) are a severe indictment of abuse of range lands that leads not only to floods, but to the deletion of the forage supply as well. Such depletion is uneconomical to the livestock producer. The livestock industry itself should cooperate in the correction of bad situations wherever they occur. Such is the opinion of a subcommittee of the governors flood commission, which opinion Colts should not be allowed to fol- has been indorsed in general by the low a mare that is working because entire commission.

Dairymen of the Scandinavian countries have long bad a system of sire exchange, that enables them to hold sires until their daughters have been tested in production. Good sires are then retained for service as long as they are active and the result has been a remarkably rapid increase in the average milk production per tow in these count ries.

Production Record of Show Bull Proved Good Willing to Rest Fame on One Great Success That the composition of music can be profitable when the work of the composer is popular is undeniable, but the few fortunes thaj have been made by composers generally have been started rather than built up by the profits of their music. Rosini is generally supposed to have made a large fortune out of his operas, but he him-- : , self admitted that while he had noth- lng to complain about in this respect his wealth came rather from a number of successful speculations to which he was introduced by one of the Rothschild family.

English Town Proud of Parish Church The one hundredth anniversary of the Parish church of Manchester, Eng--j land, was celebrated recently when the, bishop of Coventry preached a special sermon. The church, thanksgiving which is one of the oldest in the country, stands on the same foundations cf a Saxon church which was built in 930 A. D. Beautiful antique stained glass windows decorate the east wall. A peal of five bells, dating from 1350, still call the villagers to church. Five .books, including Foxs Book of Martyrs are among the churchs treas-ured possessions. Two of the more recent English martyrs, Robert Glover .and Mrs. Joyce Lewis, worshiped at the shrine. Glover was burned at the stake at Coventry in 1555, and Mrs. Lewis met a similar fate at Lichfield two years later. The old church is in a wonderful state of preservation considering her ten centuries cf life. ' Dickens, the Aristocrat No little consternation will be caused among the admirers of Charles Dickens, who have always regarded him as an Democrat, a lover- of common things and simple people, by the discovery that in the later years ofl his life he adopted an imposing ar-- J moral device to which he had no( hereditary or legal right.

So he built La Sainte Chapelle in Paris in the purest gothic, which was at its height in his day. It is hard to believe that it is now six hundred and fifty years old, having survived three fires, the Revolution and the Commune. Restorations have, of course, taken place, but thousands of American tourists will agree that this one gem of architecture is worth the whole trip across the Atlantic. Its rose window stays in the memory as long as life lasts. In the Same Boat Billy came to school on Monday for the first time. Shortly after the opening, of the first session he walked up to the teachers desk and said, I aint got no pencil." The teacher, with a shocked expression on her face, said: Oh, Billy, I havent any pencil." A sympathetic look came over Billys face and he replied: Ye aint? Well, were both in the same fix, aint we? Kentuckys Famous As we were getting ready to pull out of Lexington the other day, a traffic cop, who was grinning from ear to ear, stopped to tell us what it was all about. He said a car bearing a Michigan license pulled up to the curb and the woman driver hailed him. She wanted to know about all the historic and interesting spots around the Blue Grass city. He told' her where they were and how to reach them, and then she said : Now where Is the old home of Nancy Hanks? She was a very fa ; mous woman down in these parts. ItTAMtj, .1 m The question is often asked as to whether dairy bulls which win high honors in the show ring are ever much good as sires of high producing daughters. That such bulls do get progeny which make good in milk production is being proved by one of Canadas most famous Holstein bulls. Johanna Rag Apple Pabst, a black and white bred in the United States and bought by the Mount Victoria farms at Hudson Heights, Que., two or three years ago for the steep price of $15,000, was never defeated at a major exhibition. Before being retired after last years Royal Winter fair, he had won 25 grand championships and several times had been named grand cham' pion. i Dairy Facts The calf can be taught to drink by allowing it to suck the fingers and gradually towering them into the milk.

Cows need vacations the same as human beings. A rest period of six to eight weeks before freshening, with plenty of good feed, will put the dairy cow in form for her work.
