American Agriculturist, August 23, 1924 
Service Bureau 
Over $ 7 00for Subscribers—Questions on Investment 
four cases which have passed 
through the Service Bureau recently, 
checks totaling $787.25 have been col¬ 
lected and turned over to our subscribers. 
In addition, of course, numerous smaller 
complaints have been satisfactorily ad¬ 
justed, but these four were all for sub¬ 
stantial amounts. 
A firm located in upper New York State 
referred to us a claim against a railroad 
company for lost, live stock. Soon after¬ 
wards they wrote: 
“We have received a check of $44.97 
from the - Company in payment 
for our claim of calves lost in shipment. 
We hereby wish to thank you for collect¬ 
ing same for us.” V. D. C. & Son. 
A Big Check for Milk 
In another case a long delayed milk 
check finally found its way to Mr. F. L. 
M., N. J. It covered only one month’s 
arrears, but the sum was $263. We are 
now hopeful of collecting the arrears for 
two more months, each of which is a 
larger indebtedness. 
Mr. M. wrote us: “In reply to your 
inquiry about the milk check, wish to 
advise that we soon received the check 
after I wrote you in regard to the matter. 
Hoping you may have them on the go, 
I remain yours with most respect for old 
reliable American Agriculturist.” 
Another railroad claim was settled for 
$200 for four fresh cows killed by a train. 
A counter-offer by the company was not 
acceptable to our subscriber, who turned 
the case over to us. Shortly thereafter 
he wrote: 
“The unexpected happened this morn¬ 
ing. The-R. R. sent me a check for 
$200. That was what I told them I would 
settle for. I think you made them come 
to time. I am very thankful for the favor 
and if there is anv charge send me your 
bill.”—J. W. G„ N. Y. 
The fourth check, for $279.28, covered 
a shipment of two cars of hay to a New 
York firm which proved to be entirely 
able and willing to meet its obligations. 
Our subscriber, Mr. G. B. G. of N. Y. 
wrote: 
“I am very glad to say that I received 
a check to-day from the D. Company in 
full payment of hay shipped them. Please 
accept my sincere thanks and apprecia¬ 
tion of the service you so kindly rendered. 
Wishing you success, I am, very sincerely 
yours.” 
Drugs in Drinking Water Fail 
to Kill Lice 
ANUFACTURING and selling prep¬ 
arations for controlling lice, mites, 
ticks (blue bugs) and other external 
parasites of poultry by serving to the 
fowls in their feed or drinking water is a 
popular pastime of a number of concerns 
and one which the United States Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture says should not be 
tolerated. A number of the mixtures 
advertised for use in controlling external 
pests by administering in the feed have 
been tested by the Insecticide and 
Fungicide Board of the department and 
all have been found to be ineffective. 
Among the products which were offered 
as powders to be mixed with the feed 
are several containing mixtures of sul¬ 
phur, charcoal, magnesium sulphate, 
ferrous sulphate, nux vomica, capsicum, 
sodium carbonate, napthalene, lime salt, 
and sand. Some of the mixtures were 
lime-sulphur solutions to be added to the 
drinking water; some calcium sulphide 
tablets of various percentages and having 
quantities of other chemicals as well. 
All were tested and found to be ineffective 
for the purpose advertised. 
Violates a Statute 
In view of these numerous tests the 
board has served notice on the manu¬ 
facturers who may be selling or contem¬ 
plate selling the above-mentioned products 
to be used in this manner for controlling 
external pests of poultry that they are 
guilty of violating the provisions of the 
insecticide act of 1910, and that the 
products are misbranded. The board is of 
the opinion that these tests are sufficient 
to strongly indicate that such a method 
is ineffective and further that it j s 
extremely doubtful if any substance 
will be found which will be effective 
when used in the feed, or drinking water 
Tests have not been made of all of the 
mixtures advertised against all of the 
pests named, but, taking into considera¬ 
tion the tests which have been made 
and the anatomy and physiology 0 f 
chickens, it is believed that it is unlikely 
that any of the substances proposed, or 
any combination of them, w-hen fed to 
chickens will control any of the external 
parasites infesting them. These prepara¬ 
tions are sold for the most part directly 
to consumers by parcel post. 
Something to Keep Shy Of 
l am enclosing some literature and a letter from Alois 
P. Swoboda,. Will you please give me an opinion on this 
man and his proposition?—J. A., New York, 
Our advice to you is to leave Swoboda 
and his Y alceniana Mine proposition alone, 
Mining stocks in the first place are of the 
rankest sort of speculations and unless you 
have some money to lose, keep away 
from it. This Y alceniana mine is said to 
have produced millions of dollars and the 
shaft this Swoboda is back of is expected 
to produce millions more. Perhaps it 
will, but before it does, the chances are 
that you will lose your money. The 
stocks are not listed on the stock marke 
and there is no market in case you wis 
to sell them again. 
If you wish to invest your money to 
have your money work for you, put it in 
some good earning business and do not 
try to become rich in such a visionary 
proposition as Swoboda is putting out. 
Swoboda is an old hand at the money 
making game. The Better Business Bureau 
of New York City has a very interesting 
history of him. It seems Swoboda has 
been an advertiser of some health cure, 
Years ago he was attacked by several 
newspapers for his advertising campaign, 
In spite of that, he has built up a clientele 
and obtained some 50,000 names. Un¬ 
doubtedly he is using this list of names to 
float the stocks. His talk about not 
wanting to help rich men is a lot of idle 
chatter. It is ridiculous to think that a 
man would be so philanthropic as to 
scatter wealth broadcast. It is not rea¬ 
sonable to expect a man to divide his 
earnings with folks he doesn’t know in the 
manner in which he describes. In fact, 
the very wording of his letter seems most 
ridiculous. When a man is selling in¬ 
vestments and puts up the arguments 
that Swoboda puts up, it is a good idea to 
keep away from the proposition, unless 
you wish to lose the future use of your 
money.

I am thinking of investing some money in the Frontiei 
Mortgage Company of Buffalo, N. Y-, and do not knoi 
if they are a good safe company or not to invest in They 
claim to pay 8% interest on investments. Please lei 
me know.— Mrs. W. J., New York. 
We do not recommend this investment, 
Dealers in unlisted securities recently 
offered the units of one preferred and one 
common of this company at prices rang¬ 
ing from $40 to $60 while the correspond¬ 
ing bids were only from $20 to $54 a unit, 
You do not say what price is being asked 
by the people who are offering the stock 
in your vicinity. In any case we think 
you ought to take something more 
conservative.

Will you please tell me if the Northwest Metals Cor¬ 
poration, E, A. Ward & Co., Buffalo, N. Y., is a reliabk 
company and one safe for farmers to invest in? They 
sell stock in copper mines.—G. G. C., New York. 
No, it is not safe for farmers or any¬ 
body else to buy stock in copper mines. 
This Northwest Metals Corporation about 
which you inquire is quoted in the 
unlisted market at 60c bid and 70c asked, 
The chances are the agent who is trying 
to sell it to you is asking a higher price 
than this. We do not recommend it at 
any rate.
