PASSING
Of the Use OF
Compounds.
No Longer Extensively
Used In Tires.
Akron Man Doing Well
In Springfield.
Competition In Foreign FieI ds
* Increasing.

The practice Of putting noxious and
sticky compounds of all kinds into rub
ber tires to keep them from leaking
has recently been greatly abated. 1t
has been one of the things that have
made the heart of the repair man grow
heavy as lead in his breast in years
gone by. The repair man in rubber
factory must stick or vulcanize patch
firmly into tire when it comes to
him to be repaired. The presence of
any of the various 'neverleak' com
puonds in tire has made successful
repairs almost impossible. Before a
patch can be made to stick, the inside
of a tire must be perfectly clean and
free from foreign substances of every
description, otherwise it is entirely
impossible to stick patch against the
rubber firmly enough to make it bar
the passage of air. One of the most
evil smelling compounds in the busi-
ness for repairing tires and the ma
chine through which the compound is
introduced into the tire was invented
by an Akron man.
The reason for abandoning the prac-
tice has been the fact that tire manu-
facturers, who often replace defective
tires free of charge when they are
sent to the factory to be repaired, very
seldom will replace a tire which con-
tains the compound. They claim that
when compound is present it cannot be
ascertained whether or not the tire
leaked because Of defect in its manu-
facture. 1t is also claimed by the
makers that a compound causes the
I tiress,to rot and that, they cannot be
made to hold air for long after the
compound has been placed in them
Cyclists have come to know these
things and have found that in the enc
it is usually much cheaper to have
little to do with tire compounds.
Mr.. A. T. Holt, former Akron man
is superintendent of The Victor Rubber
Co. of Springfield, O., which is reported
to be doing splendid business. "Th,
growth of our business has been phe
nomenal owing in part both to superio
goods and business methods" says Mr.
Holt in a letter to an Akron friend.
This would indicate that it was no
by reason of its location that TIL,
Rocker Rubber Tire Co. of Springfield
quit business, as was suggested few
days ago.

"Finnigan's S Ball.

That merry melange of mirth and mu
sic, "Finnigan's Ball." will be seen at
the Opera house for one performance
Saturday night, Nov. End.
This is the eighth year OF "Finnigan's
Ball." but like all other farce comedies,
it possesses that advantage which can
be found in no other style OF dramatic
performance, the advantage OF being
changed from year to year, new special
ties introduced, new comicalities added.
In fact, even the plot itself has changed
about and still passes as 1.-The Ball" SO
it happens that these who have seen
this famous farce before need not hesi-
tate to see it again, thinking that they
are to see the same old piece. On the
contrary, it has been entirely rewritten
this year, and the author OF the original
piece would not find line OF his work.
The entire plot OF the story has been
changed and nothing remains OF the old
production except the title. The new
piece is bright fresh, full of the latest
witticisms and newest music, and goes
with swing and dash that promises to
make it's eighth edition the most sue
cessful OF any that it has ever seen.

FARM AND GARDEN.


A report of three years results OF
poultry experiments in the Utah station
has been published as Bulletin No. ca.
The summary is as follows;
J.. What is the most profitable age of
the hen? Two pens of Leghorns aver
aged 175 eggs per fowl during the first
wear. During the second year the same
fowls averaged 1924 and during the third
l1G5 eggs per fowl. The per cent
profit on food was 1873 the first year,
us during the second, and 971 the
third. A test with two other pens of
Leghorns gave the following results :
First year, number of eggs laid, l59;
second year, 1194; per cent profit on
food, first year, 1874; second year, 90
,. What is the effect of exercise on
egg production? The results for three
years are in favor of feeding grain in a
box against feeding 1t in straw and max
ing the hens scratch it out. One pen
with all grain fed In box averaged
III eggs per fowl per year for three
wears. A like pen having the grain fed
in litter of straw averaged 1872 eggs.
During the first year as pullets the
results were in favor of the exercise,
the pen fed in box averaging l5S eggs
per fowl, against lS2 for the pen fed in
the straw. These results were secured
with Leghorns. With two other pens
of Leghorns, during the first year as
pullets the pen with exercise" laid 100
eggs and the pen with "no exercise 1j7
eggs. During the second year the tex
ercised" pen laid 10 and the "no eXer-
cise' 120, the results for the two years
being practically the same for those two
pens.
3. As to the effect of exercise on food
consumption, the average of pens three
and four for three years shows that the
pen with 'eXercise" consumed GA cents
worth of food and the pen without
exercise" COS. In the case of two other
pens the average was G3 > cents and 60
cents respectively per fowl in favor of
''no exercise
4 During the year the Leghorns con-
sumed an average of G2 cents worth of
food per fowl. The Wydndottes con-
sumed SIG cents per fowl, and two pens
of Plymouth Rocks averaged 81 cents
per fowl. Western Poultry News.

At the late meeting of the Indiana IIOr-
ticultural society. Prof. l.. X. Taft of the
Michigan Agricultural college talked on
the Philosophy of Spraying. He said the
use of fungicideS must be used "a "A pre-
ventive rather than cure. Bordeaux
mixture is the best and safest fungicide
for general use and is also the cheapest,
the application of copper sulphate solu-
ton of the strength of one pound in -
gallons water is benefclallN used on dor
mant trees, and at a strength Of one
pound to 800 gallons water can be safely
used on fruit and foliage. For insects
which eat the foliage arsenic in some
form Is used The most common form is
Paris green, and can be used without
danger, If combined with lime; arsenate
of lime Is much cheaper, more effective
and remains in suspension longer than
Paris green. 1t is prepared by boiling
one pound arsenic and two pounds lime
In two gallons water for forty minutes
and dilute with 500 gallons of water.
The Vermorel nozzle is the best and
should have more than one opening. Ex-
tension rods are useful in spraying the
tops or high trees, as spray cannot be
thrown any distance. Use Bordeaux mix
ture after blossoms form and before they
open and again Immediately after the
blossom falls, combined with arsenic.
The second brood of the codling moth,
which matches thirty to forty days after
the first, is much harder to control as the
poison will not adhere to the smooth sur
face of the apple. TO control the leaf
curl the copper sulphate should be used
three or four weeks before the opening
of the buds. Spraying is necessary and
fruit growers are convinced they can no
longer grow fruit without it. Expert
ments have shown that there is little
danger TO stock from pasturlng under
sprayed trees or even when the grass is
cut and fed Immediately after spraying.

Every year there is more interest in

Several of these houses are now in use

double sash for winter, and is ventilated
by two ! inch tiles, which are closed in
very cold weather. The floor above the
cellar is p inches thick, one inch lining

The Commercial Value of Fertilizers.
1t Is often matter of considerable
Importance to the farmer to know the
money value as compared with The cost
of fertilizers. One should know not only
that the fertilizer is actually worth the
price, but of two kinds which is the
cheaper. TO determine these questions
one must know the ANALYSIS of the ferti-
lizer and the market price of the various
ingredients. Call the per cent pounds
and multiply by twenty and the result
will be the number of pounds of the va
rious substances in ton of the fertilizer
Multiply the amounts by the market
price Of each and add the results and you
will have the value of the fertilizer.
Pure cotton seed meal + SAID to con-
tain 30 pounds of phosphoric acid, 60
pounds of nitrogen, and lG pounds of
potash IN 1000 pounds. At present in
certain parts of the country nitrogen
costs II cents per pound, phosphOric
acid cents per pound and potash live
cents per pound. On this basis the value
Of cotton seed meal is $40 IS per 1000
pounds, or S2l7G per ton. From this
it is evident that farmer cannot afford
to pay SO per ton for il to use as a
fertilizer.
