Still too few farm tables are re-
lieved by fruit and vegetables during
warm weather, greasy meats and
starchy foods of all kinds being the
main diet. A man accustomed to-
physical labor is more likely to with
stand heavy food during the summer,
but even the hardest worker would be-
better off for some relishes. In fact,
there is a constantly growing ten
dency on the part of farm laborers
to be dissatisfied with the old-time
table of ."sow-belly," potatoes, bread
and coffee, and to demand a more
'finicky" diet.

During a rainstorm it is question
as to just where the herd Is safest. In
the barn there seems to be greater
tendency for lightning to strike than
in open spaces. Long lanes bordered
by wire fences are particularly dan-
gerous, unless the rainstorm is cold
and extended, no particular harm Is
done the COWS by the wetting.

JULY FARM NOTES.
BY w. A. FREEHOFF,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

Wisconsin College OF Agriculture.
Many Wisconsin farmers are impa-
tent to thresh their grain from the
stacking. Although this plan works
out very well in the drier sections, the
average Wisconsin conditions are
such that it is usually advisable to
stack and give the grain a chance to
Sweat" Otherwise it may require
attention in the bins, frequently be-
coming badly scorched. Barley Is
more likely to retain its color and
sweetness If stacked under cover.
July and August, with their scorch-
ing days and rush of work, are a Sc
we're task on the farmer, his family
and help. One or two picnics during
these months, outings during which
everybody gets a chance to rest and
relax. will tone up wonderfully the
spirits Of all concerned. 1t may seem
like wasting of perfectly good day.
but it is time well invested. And take
full advantage of the recreational OPP
portunities of the Sabbath day, let
ting only emergencies tempt you into
the field.
Every year accidents occur because
threshing outfits crash through poor
bridge or slip over some road embank-
ment Report all unsafe highway con-
ditions to the township authorities,
and insist that they be promptly rem
edied. In these days of concrete
and steel there is very little excuse
for loss of life owing to defective
roads and bridges.
In summer, eggs should not be al
lowed to remain in the nests much
longer than an hour or two, or incu-
baton may set in. 1t is best to re-
move all cocks from the flock Plenty

carefully examined for vermin, and
prompt remedial measures must be-
undertaken. Any little attentions OF
this sort during the hot weather may
mean the difference between a profit
able and an Improbable flock for the

Farm animals of all sorts are likely
to suffer from heat and neglect. The
horse, especially, needs attention IL
it is to go through the summer In
good health. Work horses should not
be over-heated, should receive linn
tied amounts of good roughage, and
should not be turned into pasture at
all. Fly nets should be provided dur
ing the day. In the evening the
horses should be given a thorough
grooming. Attention to some of these
little points will save many a horse
from a premature breakdown.

The bull shouts be confined In boN
stall during the day time and kept in

be fed rather lightly on either clover
or alfalfa hay, with some bran and
oats, but no fattening feeds. Grass
is very beneficial.

During the rush of haying and har-
vesting, when an effort Is made to
take advantage Of every hour of day
light, the farm dairy herd is likely to
be neglected. The milking is done
hurriedly and at irregular hours,
which results in lowered production
at time when it is essential that
the maximum yield should be main

No Prosecution
Under Webb Law

Washington, June i?.-The Webb
law forbidding interstate shipments of
liquor into "dry" States is not GRIM
inal statute and violations of it can
not be prosecuted in the United States
courts.
Attorney General McReynoids SO de-
clared in instructions sent today to
every United States attorney in the
country The law merely prohibits
such interstate traffic and contains no
penalty for infractlons.
"Its purpose, said the attorney
general, 'is to permit State laws to
operate in respect of Intoxicating
liquors moving in interstate COM
merce.'
The law simply deprives shippers of
any privileges they might claim on the
ground of interstate commerce and
permits the application Of State pro-
hibition laws to interstate commerce
in liquors.
