EDUCATION OF THE FARMER
OF Great Value From a Business
Standpoint.

The question is often asked, "Ot
how much value is school training to
farmers from business standpoint?
A recent agricultural survey OF sew
eral townships of TOmpkins county
y. v. made by the College OF Asr'-
culture of Cornell university has re-
vealed many interesting and sugges'
tive facts bearing upon rural socioi'
ogy. To quote from the summary:
1.-THE survey shows that high schoo'
education is worth as much to farm
er as $4,000 worth Of per cent bonds.
A college education is worth nearly
twice as much" A similar investiga-
ton of the graduates Of the School OF
Agriculture of the University OF Min
nesota showed an average labor in
come of 1926 n. Compare this with
1922 for ordinary high school and
SSH for ordinary COLLEGE graduates
as shown by the New York invest'@a'
ton. and s3'S for the average district

SUGAR CURED MEAT.
How TO Prepare Delicious Hams and
Bacon.


Bacon.
When meat 10 cooled. rub each
piece with salt and allow 1t to drain
overnight. Then pack It In . barrel
with the hams and shoulders in the
bottom, using the strips Of bacon to
fill In between or to put on top.
Weigh out for each 100 pounds of
meat eight pounds Of salt. two pounds
OF brown sugar. and two ounces OF
saltpeter. Dissolve all in four gal
Ions of water. and cover the meat
with the brine. For summer use 1t
will be safest to boil the brine before
using. In that case it should be thor
oughly cooled before it is used For
winter curing ii is not necessary to
boil the brine Bacon strips should
remain in this brine four to SIX
weeks hams six to eight weeks. This
is standard recipe and has given
the best of satisfaction. Hams and
bacon cured in the spring will keep
right through the summer after they
are smoked The meat will be sweet
and palatable if it is properly smoked
and the flavor will be good.
This and many other good pointers
for use in meat curing on the farm
may be obtained by writing your con-

Adjustment Of the

Before drilling grain or flax the
drill should be carefully adjusted.
why not repair and adjust the drill
and other farm machinery under shell
ter during the cold season? 1t is
true that the drill boxes usually hear
marks at which adjustment is to be
made for sowing at each of several
different rates per acre. In fact.
these marks are seldom accurate and
they are often Inaccurate enough to
make the difference between good
stand and poor stand.

exactly an acre. This may be OBJ
tanned by dividing the number of
square feet in an acre (43,560) by the
width of the strip planted each time
the drill goes across the field, in feet.
The width Of the strip will be about
nix inches more than the distance
from one outside spout to the other.
When you have calculated the dis
lance which the drill travels In plant
ing an acre Of ground, you divide this
by the distance around the wheel In
order to get the number of complete
revolutions which the wheel makes in
moving an acre. When you have COM

Street Sweepings as
Fertilizer.
Sometimes Cheaper, but Almost
as Good as Horse Manure.

r \ - r y r ~ n r ~ y y = = y y -
There has been considerable in
quiry as to the value Of street dust
and sweepings as fertilizing material.
The officials of large cities wish an
economical way of disposing of this
material, which is. to them. only
garbage. Truckers, gardeners and
farmers in the vicinity wish to use 1t
because of it's low cost, but some
times they doubt as to it's value. 1t
varies from city to city. but usually
consists chiefly of manure. leaves.

Of coal With the increasing use Of
the automobile It has come to con-
tain more oil and fine PARTICLES Of
pavement. loosened by the rubber tire
in rapid motion.
Chemical analyses show that hand
sweepings contain much more plant
food than machine sweepings When
applied to wheat and corn the hand
sweepings gaV1 much better results
than machine sweepings. but not
quite az large yields as ordinary
stable manure. The use of decOm-
posed sweepings gave little or no ap-
parent advantage.
1t is hard to say what the effect Of
automobile or other oil in the sweep
ings will be. It may have no effect
for year or two and then do harm
by it's accommodating in the soil unless
drainage or other natural agencies
have carried It Oh or changed It.

PARCEL POST
 FRIEND OF ALL

Not only did the parcel post save the people of the Unit e d States in the first fifteen days of it's existence more than half million dollars, according to Sen- ator Jonathan Bourne, IT,, author of the law, but it has not proved a hardship to the overworked let ter carriers.
 Senator Bourne announced that reports from forty-five leading cities of the country. which produce almost half of revenues, showed that during the twelve working days between January 1 and 15 a total of 5, O94, O27 outgo- ing parcels were dispatched at a cost of $397. 286, or about 7.7 cents a parcel. Saving of $547, : sos in twelve days.
 Under the postage rates pre- viously in force, 1 cent an ounce, :" said the Senator, the postage would have been an average of 183 cents a parcel, or a total of $942, 394. 93, thus showing sav- ing of $547, sos, 12 on twelve days business.
 It should be remembered also that the usual minimum charge of express companies is 9 cents a parcel whereas the average charge on the parcel post pack ages was only TT cents.
 It is also worthy of note, that although the business was large, it was distributed through a large postal organization, so that no congestion has resulted. The postofice clerks in these fort-fve cities have handled an average of only twenIy-eight parcels a day, this including both incoming and ou going parcels. The total num- Der of parcels delivered in these cities make an average of only nine and one-third parcels car rier each day. "-Democrat.

BONDS OF $25,OOO
 FOR ROAD BUILDING

A few of our road enthusiasts, says the St. Johns Observer, met at the court house last Saturday night, at which time c. P. An derson, chairman of the Good Roads Association, presided, and Gilbert E. Greer officiated as secretary.
 From the start the general sen timent was favorable to accept ing the governments offer of $10. 900, including the free ser vices of an expert engineer, and issue bonds in some amount, but the question was how much should be expended and in what way. Those favoring the bond issue were prepared to answer all questions.
 Navajo county, it was stated, had already appropriated $10,- 900 for the purpose of getting in on the deal and improving her end of the mail route.

Douy began gesuculatlng trantlcalIy and discussing the situation with great excitement.
 All in favor of organization fol- low me" shouted Joe Meek, the famous pioneer and hunter, striding to one side.
 The Americans followed to a man. A count disclosed the fact that there were fifty men with Meek and fifty opposed. with two men, both Frenchmen, between the opposing forces, not taking sides. and engaged in very earnest con versation. One of these, Etienne Lucier, had been led to believe that heavy taxes would be levied on all property if the Americans or ganized d government. The tax on single pane of glass, he had heard, would be 25 cents. The other. F. X. Matthieu, was in favor of organi5a- ton.
 Anyway" he said to his coun- tryman. ''you know you have no window glass in your house yet and won't have for long time" (Most of the settlers used skins in place of glass.) "What difference will it make? And it isn't so, anyway"
 The suspense lasted but few moments. Then the two men turned and took their places with the Americans. While hats were flying in the air and hand shaking was going on the defeated Hudson bay men mounted their horses and rode away, leaving the other party to or ganize a government and later to establis in that wide territory three great states of the American Union.

PLAYED CHESS UNDER FIRE.
A Game In Winch Bullets Made Some
 Interesting Moves.

Charles XII. of Sweden, with his lieutenant, Grol husen. while en- camped at Bender were playing chess one afternoon in the latter part of January, l113. The morn ing had been spent in riding about the defenses. round which :3O.O0O Turks and Tartars lay encamped. Although the violent assaults that took place few days afterward had not yet commenced, the Moslem army warned the besieged monarch of what he might expect by sending m occasional ball whistling over the house in which the headquarters were established.
 The game was far advanced, and Charles, who played the white, had q decided advantage With the ad- mirable calmness that he knew so well how to assume in the presence of danger he gazed for long time at the position and at last an nounced mate in three moves.
 Hardly had the words escaped from his lips when bullet, shatter- ing one of the windowpanes, ended its flight by removing from the board and breaking into fragments the white knight. Charles, who was about to lean back in his chair with the self satisfied air of victor. looked vexed at this unexpected loss. But Grothusen. who Was not his equal in coolneSs, leaped from his seat in dismay. Charles re- proved him with laugh and then said: Where is my other knight. Grothusen! Find it and work out the mate"
 But before the minister could find the piece the eye of Charles was struck by the position of the forces. and he remained for some minutes intently gazing at the board. Al length he raised his head q don't think We need the knight. believe that can afford to give it to you and still be able to mate you in four moves"

FINSEN KILLS WILD CAT.

An elongated specimen of the felis
catus, more commonly known as the
wild cat or bob" cat, was killed by
Wilfred Finsen near the power plant
of the North Washington Power and
Reduction Company on the Similka-
meen river a short distance from
town last week. The huge feline
measured fully five feet from tip to
tip.
Although Noah Webster has listed
the wildcat as merely an animal of
the cat family, stronger and fiercer
than the domestic cat and very de-
structive to the smaller domestic ami
mails, such as lambs, poultry and the
like, including kids in the sense ac-
cepted as proper until extended in
late years to include members of the
human family, it is asserted that the
wildcat frequently commits graver de-
predations than the humiliation of
feathered or four-footed creatures of
the barnyard, and numerous instances
are related of attacks on human be-
ings.
