The shortage of horsepower when

To be a philosopher all you have to

Since the coming of the automobile

A profitable marketing system is

The Clocks We Wear.

The three marks on the back of a
glove and the clocks on the stocking
are due practically to the same cir
cumstance The glove marks CORE
spond to the fourchette pieces be-
tween the fingers, and in other days
these pieces were continued along the
back of the hand, braid being used to
conceal the seams. A somewhat SIM
liar origin Is assigned to the orna-
mental clock on the stockings. In the
days when stockings were made OF
cloth, the seams occurred where the
clocks do now, the ornamentation then
being used to conceal the seams. The
useless little bow in the leather band
lining a mans hat is the survival OF
the time when hat was made by ta-
king a piece of leather, boring two
holes through it and drawing it up
with a piece Of string -Harper's

CROP REPORT WORK
Thousands Of Reporters Contrib
ute to Making of Estimates.
Most Of Them Are Not Paid, Being
classed 40 "Yolunteer Correspond
ents,r and Only Reward They
Get IL Receipt OF Circulars.

Washington 10000 report
ers contribute to the making OF the
government crop reports which are
issued monthly at Washington. Most
of these reporters are not paid. but
are classed as voluntary correspond
ents," and the only reward they get,
aside from the satisfaction of doing
the work itself, is that they receive
the publications of the department
without having to write to ask Tor
them. Nevertheless most OF them
stick to the work. An inquiry made
in January, 1912, showed that 81 per
cent. of them had served more than
year. 81 per cent. had served more
than two years. AZ per cent. more
than six years, four per cent. more
than twenty-six years. and one per
cent. more than thirty-six years.
Among these volunteers are county
correspondents who have several as
sistants who can be called on If nee
essary They report directly to
Washington. There are also township
correspondents who report directly
and independently to Washington.
Reports from these and still other in
dependent sources are used to check
one another The number OF counties
of agricultural Importance in the Uni
ted States is approximately $500, and
the township reporters number $4,000.

HEAT KILLS MANY CHICKENS
Portable Colony Houses Foot or
More From the Ground.

(By PROF. J. G. HALPIN, Wisconsin
College of Agriculture.)
Not disease. but lack Of shade, is
responsible for many poultry losses
in summer The average poultryman
may lose several hens before he real
ICES that heat is responsible for their
DEATH or he may expose young chicks
to hot sunshine too soon
A young chick hatched during hot
weather must not be put out In the
hot sun until after it is several days
old and must be gradually accustomed
to the sun Otherwise the sun may
blister it's tender skin, SO that even
though it is not killed outright, 1t Is
greatly weakened.
For shade, corn field, small patch
of sun flowers, shrubbery and bushes
of any sort, as we'll as fruit or shade
trees, are very satisfactory. Many
times something could be accom-
plished along this line by turning the
houses around so that they face north
and thus shade the chicks
Portable colony-houses with solid
floors can be raised foot or more
off the ground so that the chicks can
get under them for shade.
Old doors and objects of that sort
can be used for shade by driving four
stakes into the ground, and elevating
the north end of the door some three
or four feet from the ground while
the south end is only about a foot
from the ground Small ducklings
and goslings are even more subject
to sun stroke than the chickens and
SO should be guarded with especial
care

PROFITS ON FARM PRODUCE
investigation to Be Made by Depart
ment of Agriculture on Marketing
of All Farm Products.

It is announced that the department
of agriculture, through its Office of
markets. will shortly begin thorough
study of what happens to produce
from the time it leaves the producer
until it reaches the consumer. A spe-
cialist on marketing perishable pro-
duce will investigate prices received
by producers, cost of transportation
and storage, change of ownership, ac-
cumulated charges, profits and other
elements This specialist will then
study conditions in various sections to
determine the feasibility Of market
news service dealing with perishable
products, and also the best method of
making statistics of supply and de-
mand useful to the farmer and truck
gardener.
Other specialists will give attention
to studying cooperative organizations
of producers and consumers, including
cooperative marketing associations of
farmers and buyers, cooperative
stores, etc. They will make intensive
studies of typical communities deal
ing with special products. and will as
aist In the formation of new co-opera-
tive enterprises. An expert in coop
erative accounting will assist such or
ganizations to keep their books and
records effectively, establish cost sys-
TENS and follow up methods Of hand
ling goods en- route and on sale.
Cooperating with the other investi-
gators will be specialists in transpor-
tation-men who have had as much
railroad shipping experience as divi-
sion freight agents-who will assist
producers in securing proper freight
rates, and will discuss questions OF ex-
tending facilities, determination of
rates. routing, and other matters con-
cerned with the speedy and cheap
moving of produce to centers of
wholesale and retail demand
Especial attention Is to be given TO
the milling, marketing and utilization
of cotton seed. A specialist in this
line will gather full information neces-
sary for the successful organization
and operation OF oil mills by cooper
ating producers He will also endeav-
or to find new uses and new applica-
tions for cotton seed and its manu-
featured products.
Other specialists thoroughly famil-
lar with the marketing of cotton in
Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma, ard
other cotton states will devote their
attention to improving trade in cotton
and devising improved methods of
handling and selling cotton and seed
cotton.

quite great, a quality which protects
them to considerable degree from
lightning stroke. This resistance var

This fact results in an annual and
