The following interesting letters
of buying a raincoat? [lave foun,i their wnv into She llor-
Then read the label before you akVs mall box this week, and we
make your final selection so y™ jeem them worthy of pas-dug on to
will know tiie kind of protection you reudJrs
can expect from your new gar-
ment. The label also will tell you
how to clean the coat and whether
the finish is permanent or will be
lost in dry cleaning or washing.
For wear in a heavy rain a gar-
ment marked “waterproof" gives
the best protection as it has a finish
that seals out water. Make sure the
thread used for stitching also is wa-
terproof so that dampness will not
enter at the seams.
One disadvantage of a waterproof
coat is that the finish that seals out
water also keeps out air and makes
it hot and uncomfortable for gen-
eral wear. Such a coat should have
holes or slits under the arms for
sonie ventilation, says Mrs. Helen
Barnard, Missouri university cloth-
ing specialist.
A coat labeled “water-repellent”
is usually more comfortable for
ordinary wear. It will protect from
a shower but not from a drenching
rain. Such coats are often made of
firmly woven cotton fabric with a
water-repellent finish.
Before buying, learn from the
label, whether the finish is perma-
nent. Some finishes are lost a little
at a time with wear, or dissolved
in dry cleaning or washing. The
coat is then no longer rainproof |
until it has been reiinished by the ■
manufacturer or by a cleaner who
specializes in such work.

New Records Established
In Rail Freight Haulage
American railruads in the
half of 1948 carried more tons of
freight per train than ever before
and without any decrease in tiie
average speed, states the Associa-
tion of American Railroads.
At the same time, freight train
performance per hour also estab-
lished a new high record.
The average load of freight per
train in the first six months of 1948
was 1,153 tons, an increase of sev-
en tons above the previous high
record for the year 1947 when the
average was 1,146 tons. It also was
an increase of 14 tons above that
in 1944, the peak war year. In 1929,
the average was only 804 tons.
Tons of freight moved one mile
for each hour of freight train oper-
ation averaged 18,212 in the first six
months this year, the highest on
record, compared with 10,580 ton-
miles in the year 1929 and 7,303 in
1920.

comotives, better freight cars, im-
proved signaling and other devices,
heavier loading of freight cars, and
getting more cars in the average
train. The number of freight cars in
a train averaged 53.7 in the first
half of 1943, the highest on record.
In 1944, the average was 53 and in
1947 it was 52.9. The average speed
of freight trains in the six months’
period in 1948 was the same as that
for the two previous years but was
higher than in 1942, 1943, 1944 and
1945.

Thie Comb Disease
One of the newer maladies of
chickens is called blue comb dis-
ease. Its cause is unknown, but it
appears to be infectious or else the
agent that causes it to attack one
chicken also lias access lo all oilier
chickens in the flock. Tiie first
symptoms of blue comb disease is
loss of appetite, food eaten re-
mams in tiie crop. The disease gets
its name from darkening of the
comb, and (lie skin and shanks also
turn a darker than natural color.
Ill birds have a high fever,, which
s followed by temperatures below
normal, and the birds lose weight
mite rapidly. Tiie disease is most
ikely to attack birds five to seven
nonths old, but chickens of any
ge may have blue comb disease.
Treatment for Dried Apples
Treating dried apples with sul
phur will preserve natural color
and flavor and prevent souring and
attacks by insects during drj*jng
Lavada Curtis, API extension food
preservation specialist, says that
apples to be dried should be cut in
quarters or quarter-inch rings. As
they are cut, place them in a sail
solution. Use two tablespoons of salt
and two tablespoons of vinegar;
mixed with one .gallon of water
When apples are ready for drying,
remove them from the solution,
drain, and place in single layers on
wire trays. Place trays in sulphur
box located outside for 20 to 30
minutes. Remove trays and place,
in sun to dry.
ling Cholera Prevention
American Foundation for Animal
Health offers farmers the following
pointers on hog cholera prevention:
Guard against bringing the cholera
virus onto your farm on clothing,
bags, wagons or other equipment.
Have newly purchased stock exam-
ined, and quarantine the newcom--
ers until sure they are not disease
carriers. Have all pigs vaccinated,
especially around weaning time.
First! however, make sure that the
pigs are in physical condition to re-
ceive vaccination. Take no chances
on inexperienced handling of the
virus. If unprotected swine show
signs of fever, loss of appetite, or
weakness, suspect cholera first.

BETTER PENETRATION IN ALL SOILS
The new MM Disc Harrows have an exceptional combina-
tion of light weight and strength .... light enough so
you can work in soft ground without too much reduction
in angle and sacrifice of quality work; strong enough so
you can add as much weight as needed to give you good
penetration in hard soils. The new MM deep pan weight
boxes enable you to use soil from the field you are working
in for needed weight
The harrow is designed so that all discs penetrate at a
uniform depth and follow the contour of the ground. Disc
bearings never require lubrication, and the disc gang
assembly is designed to protect the
bearings against wear and to assure
long-life trouble-free performance.
Let us tell you all about these out-
standing new harrows.
