smaller as the case may demand. This
is accomplished by fastening the
planks upon which the bulls feet will
rest, with movable pins, so that they
may be placed close together, or the
reverse.
In this connection, considerable
trouble was experienced in properly
gauging the width of them. If they
are too wide the bulls feet will get
down between the COW and the SUD-
port and might cause injury to both
animals. The width already given, Is
inches, is sufficient, and in case of
heifers, may be somewhat less than
this. It requires, too, several trials,
before the bull becomes accustomed
to his new surroundings, but when
properly made, and with a little care
and experience, it is found to give
very satisfactory results.
We append, says Hoard's Dairy
man, an illustration of device, which
embod1es all the essential principles
above described, but is made movable
and more in the form of a box. It
should be made very strong and the
planks upon which the BULBS feet are
to rest should be supported from be-
low by plank reaching from the
front to the rear corner posts. One
of these planks should be left loosely
fastened with bolts or pins so that the
space between them may he in
creased or decreased : to correspond
with the size of the COW.

his long nose at such an angle that a

MO RE sToc KLEss CORN.
Method by Which Soil Can BE Kept III
Good State of Fertility g. - .

Years of experience have taught me
that the wise farmer is he who keeps
his land up to the highest notch of fer
t1lity, if not by one means, then an
other. There are many different ways
to accomplish this, and the plan for
each man to follow is the one that
gives best results, with material at
hand, at least expense.
Here in Southwestern Iowa, writes
the correspondent of Farmers Voice,
it is not necessary to buy fertilizers
that are sold in the markets. Most
farmers keep at least few head OF
stock, and the wise man is he who
doubles the number of head of stock
and divides his acres of corn. If he
will then judiciously and systematical-
ly go about building up his land (sup-
posing it has run DOWN, his income
would very soon double.
Every man must study his soil, and
it he has knowledge of chemistry
so much the better; but for the ordi-
nary farmer, I first recommend seed
ing down old worn out land to clover,
using plenty of seed, and in three or
four years blowing the clover under
deep and seeding some other part Of
his farm to the same.
So many farmers have the idea that
they must have from 60 to 80 acres
of corn, and perhaps not an acre OF
hay or pasture. The corn will aver
age say 40 bushels, where if they had
half the number of acres and made
it yield 70 bushels, they would be the
gamers; then seed the balance to hay.
Timothy, clover and alfalfa bring al
ways a good price, and if the farmer
will keep hogs and cattle enough to
feed this crop to, put every ounce Of
manure on the land where it is most
needed every year or two, blowing up
a new piece and seeding down, there
is not the least doubt but that his
bank account will double.
Farmers that live on leased land
cannot follow this method and move
every year, but it is to the interest
of both landlord and tenant to stay
on the same place as long as possible
and also to bring the land up to the
highest productiveness.
There is no more simple plan to
follow for the average farmer than
crop rotation. If we see field
of thin soil with the corn stalks no
larger than ones finger and show
ing yield of no more than 20 BUSH
els, you will also find on the same
farm manure piled around the barn
so high one can find no room for any
thing else, and one can be sure that
farm has never had a load of any
kind of fertilizer and the only thing
it is sure to have will be a mortgage.

Barley as a Hoo Ration.

Barley is a very good food for the
production. of prime pork and especial
ly for prime bacon. This grain has
not yet come into favor in America as
a swine food, but it is one of the prin-
cipal foods used by Danish farmers.
and the pork made on that kind of ra.
ton sells at a high price in all mar.
kets: Danish bacon, which has such a
high reputation in the English mar
ket, is made largely on barley and
dairy products. The Ontario expert
ment station years ago decided that
it was one of the best swine foods
that could be secured. There it is
regarded as grain that should con.
stitute one-third Of the ration when
the best bacon is to be produced.

Anc uucnesS Was asked to help, and
help she did. She went feverishly into
the work. She bought 200 blankets,
l,oOO yards of cotton to be made into
sheets and Undertaking, boots and
shoes-everything, in fact. that Mrs.
Holder said was needed. And she be-
gan visiting the wives of the jailbirds.
A short time after the duchess had
begun this work Queen Alexandra, who
has taken deep interest in the duchess,
suggested to Mr.. Garlic that the work
be turned over to her entire control.
Mr. Garlic Immediately followed he,
majesty's suggestion. In his frantical'
ly energetic way he rushed to Sunder.
land house. The duchess was at lunch
con with Mr.. and Mrs. Belmont. Mr..
Garlic joined them. He impaired
some of his enthusiasm even to Mr..
Belmont
Next day the duchess of Marlbor-
ough motored with her mother down
to No. Banner street, and took over
the Church army's little nucleus as her
own, her very own charity. There fol-
lowed many days of hard office work.
And it was on one of these days that
the new project of the duchess, now
being carried out, was born.
In Banner street is a big white
washed building-the Houseless Poor
asylum. This was started in 1919 and
the original work is still carried on,
but by the Church army, which has
its kindling wood brigade's headquar-
tiers there. Mrs. Holder, six years
ago, personally started befriending the
families of men in JAIL The work
grew to such proportions that she
called the attention of the Church
army to it. Four rooms in a building
across the street We're rented and Mrs.
Holders pet charity established there.
1t is this little beginning which the
duchess of Marlborough has taken
over. To-day's roll contains the names
of more than hundred families.
1t was after the first week that the
duchess astonished her lieutenant by
outlining her plans. She announced
that the society would continue in
Banner street only until she was able
to get new and proper quarters First
ly, she explained, there should be a
building devoted to children. Here the
little ones should live until their ia
theirs sentence ended and the family
could be united once more. Here they
should be taught to work, to read and
write and to play.
The next item of the duchess plan
was maternity home, properly and
thoroughly equipped as real home
rather than a cold, whitewashed mater
nifty hospital.
/ Lastly she declared she would have
woman's home. Here prisoners
wives were to be housed, at least those
whose health or condition needed
something better than the wretched
accommodation of a single dingy room
or filthy howell. And here there should
be an employment bureau and skilled
women to teach these prisoners wives
sewing, domestic economy, ironing,
artificial flower making and such like
simple industries.
The entire responsibility, expense
and management will be in the hands
of the Duchess. She may ask the aid
of helpers from the church army, from
the dainty danes of high society or
she may be satisfied with the simple
help of the women to whom she now
has become the guardian and minis.
tering angel.

CONCERNING CONSOLIDATED COP
PER AND PETER BINES AS
MATCHMAKERS
Consolidated Copper at 10. The
day after his talk with Uncle Peter,
Percival through three different bro
kers gave orders to buy 10000 shares.
Il tried to give Relpin an order for

said to Uncle Peter, but they're used

and had to be helped out"
Orders for 10000 more shares in
1000 share lots during the next three
weeks sent the stock to lis. Yet wise
men in the street seemed to fear the
stock. They were waiting cautiously
for more definite leadings. The plung-

and when it became known that his
holdings were large and growing al
most daily larger, the waning conf
fence of Spectator here and there
you'd be revived.
At lis the stock rested again, with
few sales recorded. A certain few of
the elect regarded this calm as omin-
pus. 1t was half believed by others
that the manipulations Of the inner
ring would presently advance the
stock to sensational figure, and that
the reckless young man from Montana
might be acting upon Information Of

veteran spectators the feeling was
conservative. Before buying they pre-
Sferred to await some sign that the ad-
