A discussion notes newspapers are more reliable than magazines for ads. It warns that sensational magazines push dubious offers like magnetic personality courses and cancer cures. It blames hidden firms and distant operators for false claims but says newspapers are generally safer for the public.
A Brooklyn cinema installs special acoustic gear to aid hard of hearing patrons in enjoying sound films. Other notes cover yeast based cod liver oil, Brazilian aviation growth, red shirt bans on a western railroad, Quebec highway markers, a Texas helium plant cost savings, myths about glass snakes, Iceland air service plans, and Ohio penitentiary band size.
The Tyler Journal notes that most ads are local and advertisers rely on honesty to maintain reputations for fairness. It argues ads must tell the truth to avoid misleading customers and to preserve reader faith.
Knowledge is power in disease control for swine. Only 10 percent of pigs farrowed reach market age and up to 90 percent of losses are linked to hog cholera. Preventive steps include cleaning farrowing houses, washing sows, relocating piglets to unused fields, separating groups, and pasturing pigs to four months old while plowing hog yards to reduce roundworm eggs.
United States Department of Agriculture issues a poster on the common sheep liver fluke. It explains the parasite life cycle and control methods, urging drainage or fencing of wet areas where snails breed. Copper sulphate can destroy snails. flukes cause losses to livers and industry and the pest spreads from western regions toward the east. Copies available from the Bureau of Animal Industry in Washington.
The Lincoln spire at New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington was a gift from the late Robert Todd Lincoln’s family. Dr. Joseph R. Sizoo, the church’s present pastor, spoke at dedication exercises about Lincoln stories he says are not in Emancipator biographies, stories said to come from Rev. Phineas D. Gurley’s daughter.
During the Civil War as Confederates threatened Washington District churches were requisitioned as hospitals. In a Sunday sermon Dr. Gurley said the next Sunday would be the last service there, as the church was to be used for wounded soldiers. President Lincoln rose and countermanded the order, insisting the church remain open.
Dr. L. Van Es notes cattle in stables or yards suffer from claw overgrowth causing limb misalignment and tendon strain. Excessively long claws reduce milk yield, especially in heavy bred bulls. Claws should be trimmed about twice yearly using proper tools and a rasp to smooth the horn. If needed, the animal may be restrained to complete the task.
Purdue University in Lafayette Indiana reports swine feeding results showing oats should be limited to half the ration. Gains slow and economic use declines if oats exceed this amount. Replacing corn with oats varies. one fourth oats replaces about two-thirds bushel corn, while one half oats equals half bushel corn.
Young lambs begin nibbling grain and oilmeal mix early, easing wool protection needs. A diet of oats bran and cracked corn with linseed oilmeal helps lambs adjust to eating whole corn quickly, improving feeding efficiency and overall care on the farm.
The story recalls how Emancipators urged Dr Gurley to join the church, yet he hesitated not from disbelief but from feeling unworthy of Christian standards. Lincoln never joined a church though he worshiped regularly at the New York Avenue edifice.
