PUMPKINS AS A sUccULENT FOR
SWINE.

Reports are coming to this office Of
enormous crops Of pumpkins all over
the entire Corn Belt. While We know
little Of, the feeding value of pump
kins on the basis Of experiment sta
ton reports, they have for years been
fed by a number Of farmers with IA
vorable results. The findings Of three
experiment stations show that 273
pounds of grain. together with S7S
pounds Of raw pumpkins gave 100
pounds Of gain Of fattening pigs.
When cooked 1t required 1.15O pounds
Of pumpkins, with 222 pounds Of grain
for 100 pounds of gain. From these
reports, we may conclude that cook
ing has an advantage with this vege-
table.
The claim Is often made that the
seeds have a germicidal property and
are Of value in Kidding pigs Of inter-
nal parasites. The real worth, how
ever, lies in their value as succulent
food, and cannot be measured by sim
pie gains in the weight Il the pigs,
given such foods Where animals are
given an exclusive grain diet, the d.
gestive tract becomes torpid and sick
ness is more likely to occur than
when succulent foods are given.
Where the ration IS supplemented
with succulent food, the digestive
organs are more natural and active
in movement and the body better pre-
pared to resist disease than when
pure grain is fed.-FsEm Press.

THE SIZE OF FARMS.

The varying size Of farms seems to
follow the law that the older the
country becomes, the less will be the
area Of the farms. This law, how
ever, does not hold universally true.
In. 1850 the average size of all farms
in the United States was POP acres;
IN 1860, 1893 acres; in 1870, 1873 acres;
in 1880, 1873 acres; in 1890, 1876 acres;
in 1900, 146 acres; i'm 1910, 1913 acres.
Since 1850. there was a steady re-
dRAction in the acreage until 1890. In
1890 and 1900 there was marked
increase. 1t should be noted that the
circumstances that made the record
ed increase in 1890 were taking place
between 1880 and 1890. During that
DECADE the states Of the Middle West
were rapidly developed and tens of
thousands of new farms were culti-
waited for the first time. These farms
we're mainly Of 100 acres, a size con-
siderab1y in excess of the average.
During the last decade the average
: size of farms throughout the country
has diminished eight acres. It Is pro
bab1e that. from now on the size Of
Farms will continually decrease. Therl
are no large areas of good public
bands to be taken as homesteads and
-. the present wise tendency is 10 cul-
tEate fewer acres and do the work
better.
Missouri and Kansas are two states
In which the average acreage of
farms has increased within the last
decade. Missouri farms have grown
from an average Of 119 acres in 1900
to 124 acres in 1910. Kansas farms
have increased from 24O acres to 244
acres. In both states the increase in
acreage of farms is doubtless due to
the purchase of neighboring farms
by successful farmers Many of the
younger generation have moved away
and improved agricultural implements
have. made it possible to take care. of
more ground. The large average
acreage Of Western Kansas wheat
farms is responsible for the large av.

Fortune Decides.


George and Fortune were seated at
breakfast. It was early morning. At
ten they were to depart for Jana, to
take the tubby French packet there to
Alexandria. They could Just about
make 1t, and any delay meant week
or ten. days longer upon this ragged
and inhospitable coast.

After breakfast I'll go and rout him

Think Of the blessing Of travelling

without even comb or a hair

IT'S great fun" George broke his
toast.
And Fortune wondered how she
could tell him. She was without any
toilet articles. She hadn't even
toothbrush; and 1t was quite out Of
the question for her to bother him
about trifss, much as she needed
them. She would have to live in the
clothes she wore, and trust that the
ships stewardess might help her out
in the absolute necessities
Here the head-waiter brought
George a letter. The address was
enough for George. No one but Ry-
anne could have written II. Without
excusing himself, he ripped of the

Abe Lincoln once asked an easy
going man: II say Bill, how is it you
seem to have so little trouble in your
domestic arrangements and Sam here
is always in a stew?" Well, III tell
you, Abe" replied Bill. Sans trying
to do too much. He's a-running the
farm. He's a-rlInning the household.
He's a-running the kitchen and the
kids; and blamed if he hasn't got It
in his head to run his wife. Now yol

HAS
Innovation IN
MODELS

The I.ocomobilc Company of Amer
lea Mas introduced new feature.
which is being exhibited for the first
time. II conceived the idea of con-
structing miniature models. painted in
tasteful, harmonious color combina-
tons. and made to scale, thus giving
the true lines of the cars.
Space at any automobile show bare
ly suffices TO exhibit types, wide va
riety of colors being impossible.
A method OF showing color schemes
was needed, as II is absurd to expect
customer. who objects to the color
of an open car, to obtain any clear
idea of that car painted differently by
viewing Limousine having the de-
sired specifications.
These models are cut In half, like
those OF yachts. so that they can he
hung on walls, and are so light as to
permit of their being moved about
| readily.
The show exhibit consists of TWEEN
ty-five miniature models of the diner
ent cars built by The Locomobilc
Company painted in various body col
ors and striking combinations.
The exhibit of these models attract
cd great deal of attention anon :
the visitors at the New York show,
and received IA great deal of favorable
comment.
II has been Il great help in enabling
customers to select color scheme
for their cars, and is another example
of the importance of having every IA
cility at hand.
The miniatures will be sent to the
various shows at which the Locomo-
| bile Company will exhibit.
