DISAPPROvES the
vAL0RIzATI0N OF
CROPS in THE u. S.
Sec'y M'Adoo Says No
Need-Would Mean
Inflated Currency

Washington, Aug. 25.--Secretary
MeAdoo emphatically disapproveo
proposals for valoriza ton of crops be-
cause of the European war at todays
conference of cotton and tobacco
growers. He appealed TO the conference
to get down to a practical basis"
Any issue of currency by state
hanks is utterly unnecessary" said
Secretary MeAdoo and II is a waste
of time 20 talk about il. Enough ma
tional bank currency is authorized by
present law to handle the cotton and
all the other crops in the country
There Is authorization in law for
enough currency to wreck the whole
country, The secretary of the treas
ury has wide discretion in the issue of
this currency. l intend to see that all
currency issued is safe because / tell
you gentlemen that you can not do
anything worse than to initiate the
currency to a point where you will
wreck the credit of the country"
Secretary MeAdoo added that the
valorization plan was impracticable
and that the valorization of cotton
would mean a demand for the vloriza-
ton of every other product affected
by the European war,
This catalolysm in Europe" he
said, has caused a recoil in all bust
ness in this country. 1t is foolish to
say that no one will be hurt. Our bust
ness is to help everybody to meet the
situation as best they can"
Under the emergency currency act,
Secretary McAdoo said he would ac
eept properly safeguarded warehouse
receipts as 20 per cent. security for
the issue of currency.

PROFITS FROM THE CHICKENS
No Place Where Business Can Be
Made So Profitable as When Con-
Quoted as Side Line on Farm.

Specialized poultry farms are be
coming more each year. In
many cases these are paying good re
turns on the money invested. but their
effect on the supply OF eggs and
poultry for our large markets is but
as a drop in the ocean. 1t is for the
small focks OF so to 300 fowls upon
the farms as a side line that We must
depend for our supply Of poultry prod
ucts in the future as in the past. writes
Prof. P. G. Holden in the Farm and
Home Poultry Annual. No other
branch of agriculture is represented on
so many farms. The census for 1910
shows that IS per cent. of all farms
reported keeping poultry.
In no ease can the business be
made so profitable as where it is L
Quoted as a side line of general farm
ing. It is possible 20 allow chickens
to range through many crops that are
grown on the farm without damage to
the crops and by such practice secure
double returns from the same piece
of land.
Orchards or corr fields are ideal for
this purpose and II the presence of the
chickens in them is beneficial rather

o EFFICIENCY.

Temperance work today is very prac-
teal as compared with the sentimen-
tai e~xhortations of yesterday. In
these days when efficiency" is so gen
eral a ~watchword in the world OF ousi-
ness and labor. we are finding not so
directly that a man is a knave who
drinks TO excess. or even at all. as
that he rs a fool. A runner who ties
a weight about his leg is no greater
Ounce than the workingman or the
merchant who puts a dram OF liquor
into his digestion or his brain. 1t Is
capable of proof by figures and dia-
grams that the drinker OF even an oc-
casional glass of wine or beer or
whisky Injuries the work Of both his
hands and his mind, while the habi-
tual drinker sews up his mental and
manual machinery permanently. This
is the gospel of the new temperance
movement. Almonte (Canada) Ga

Two surgeons stood over a mar who
was near death from taking an anaes-

would never pull through. They did
heroic work TO save him. and for
some time II seemed their efforts

ments that the sweat stood on their
foreheads. At last there was a faint
glimmer of hope, and when II was
seen that death for q time had been

Cabbage makes a good green food

Hens lay a few more eggs when
males are not used in the pens with

Egg production is not measured so
much by the quantity as by the quail

Quarrelsome male birds in a flock

CLOVER HAY FOR CHICKENS
rowls WI Be Kept in Better Laying
Condition and Production Of
Eggs Increased.

(By J. F. SHUREMAN, United States
Department Of ~.Agriculture)
There is nothing better than So eil-
cured clover grown or second growth
clover hay for chickens. This should
be cut up fine and steamed.
Aside from alfalfa there is no other
food that can take the place OF clover.
BY allowing a ration of scalded clover
to hens they will keep in better laying
condition and the production OF eggs
will be increased. Where clover hay
cannot be secured bran is a very good
substitute, though not so rich in min
eral matter.
Vegetable food. such as cabbage, po-
tatoes, beets and turnips, should be
supplied the year around.
