Cannery Makes Good Showing

Cannery Makes Good Showing.
Few Wellington people real
ize of what magnitude the local
canning company has conducted
its business during the present
canning season. A few rough
facts perhaps will give you some
idea of what has been done dur
ing the present season. The COM
pany has handled 400 tons of
tomatoes which filled 5000 ca
ses which contained "a cans
each, or a total of 144,000 cans.
These required for shipment 6
standard cars of an average of
1000 cases to a car. And that is
not all. The company has work
ed up 5000 five gallon packages
Of pulp which represented 5000
cases of catsup. The company is
now running on catsup and af-
ter this commodity is exhausted
they will go to work on the pre-
paration of pork and beans,
which will carry the work well
along toward the next tomato
crop. Too much credit cannot be
given Messrs Gausman and
Swartz for their commendable
enterprise, for they not alone
give to Wellington a splendid in
dustry, but in the course of the
season, give employment to a
small army of employees, Had
the season been even normal,
the c ming company would
easily have doubled its output

IMPORTANT TO H A WHO WANTS TO COVER UP.
as MICH so AS A BLANKET THESE COLD NIGHTS.

~
Some time ago we had occasion to say something to our
no+rons relative to the use of a better single nail. Since
+bo+ fine we have been learning something more about the
use of the proper nail. l think you will see and understand
that there is no economy in buying the best shingle to be
had and putting it on the roof with a nail that Will last only
half the life time of a shingle.
This is exactly what's being done all over the country
TODAY. and an inferior nail is being used for ~shingling, to
the verv great loss not only to the consumer but to the man.
ufacturer and retailer of shingles as well, for the simple
reason that they will not stay on the roof. Now this is not
q knock on the hardware man and it is not a complaint on
anv score. but t is a real attempt to show the consumer of
shingles where he is losing money and where for a few
more cents he can be assured that his roof will stay where
put during its natural life time.
Within the last thirty days | passed a house in Kansas
CITY where the old shingles were being torn off preparatory
to putting on a new roof. Upon investigation, l found that
the shingles were practically as good as new, but no sign of
a nail except the holes in the shingles. 1t is certainly a
waste of money to repeat this experience.
The zinc nail will cure all of this trouble and save you
this loss at a very small additional cost. We keep these
nails in stock, and the next time you have occasion to put on
a new roof, remember that a first class red cedar shingle put
on with a pure zinc nail is the best, most durable, best ap-
pearing and economical roof to be had, and will last for
practically a generation. They will wear out in that time,
but will not rot or blow off.

Making the Winter Flock Pay.
(By H. l.. Kempster.)


Missouri farmers lose thous-
ands Of dollars every year be-
cause their poultry is not prop
erly housed. Unless proper quar-
ters are provided hens will not
lay during the winter and it is q
waste of feed and time to hold
them over, The most common
mistake is to keep more hens
than the house will hold. A bet
ter plan would be to Gull the
flock and comfortably house
those that remain, If a poultry
house is roomy, it does no harm
to keep the birds shut up on
stormy days. The house should
be dry. This ig accomplished by
having 3 good dry floor and g
good system Of ventilation.
Abo all, the quarters should
be light and clear--tho house ?
pleasant place for the hers to
live in.
The M souri, College Of Ag"
culture gives the following ire,
scription for hen happiness and
a full egg basket:
Allow each hen four square
feet Of floor space.
Provide one square foot of
glass to every fifteen square feet
of floor space.
Locate the windows on the
south side and place the tops not
quite half as high as the house is
wide.
Ventilate by placing one
square foot Of muslin to every
fifteen square feet of floor space,
or by making a slat front similar
to the cupolas in barns. Be sure
the house is free from cracks
and that there are no openings
for drafts on the back, ends and
roof.
Build a floor eight inches high
er than the surrounding ground.
Fill in four inches of coarse
stone then two inches of CLAW
and then two of dirt. This will
make a dry floor.
Provide $40 inches of roost-
ing space and one nest to every
six hens.
Cover the floor with a foot or
eighteen inches of straw. Feed
the grain in the straw so as to
encourage exercise.

poultry matters write to the

Preparation of Corn for Fatten-
ing Steers.
(By H. o. Allison.)

(By H.. y. Allls0n.)
Does it pay to grind corn for
fattening two-year-old steers?
The Missouri Experiment Sta
ton has been investigating this
question for the past two years.
While this investigation is not
yet completed, results obtained
up to the present time Indicate
that more rapid gains in live
weight and a quicker finish may
be expected by the use of ground
grain. Cattle also feed more
uniformly on ground than on
whole corn. There is no doubt
but that two-year-old steers will
much more completely digest
ground grain and the finer it is
the more completely it will be
digested.
The work at the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture shows clearly
that when ground corn is fed
fewer hogs are needed to follow
the steers. The figures obtain
ed Indicate that from II to %
per cent of the value of the ear
corn fed to steers would be
charged to the hogs, while with
finely ground corn chop it will
not be more than 3 to 4 per cent.
The evidence concerning the to-
tai gain in live weight on cattle
and hogs per bushel Of corn fed
is not yet conclusive. 1t is not
likely that there will be much
difference between feeding
ground or whole grain if the
hogs are properly cared for and
if the feeding is done in lots
which are reasonably free from
mud.

The Marin for New Laws.


One Of the easiest things in
the world is to criticize, to find
fault. This weakness, common to
IL humanity, is quite character
jstic of our legislators, and re-
suits in a superbundance of slop-
py Legislation. The average law
maker jumps to the conclusion
that the one thing needed to inn
prove conditions is new legisla-
ton. To find defects does not
call for great ability any one
can pick flaws. But a construct
i've program to overcome defects
cells for a degree of ability that
does not appear in much Of our
morern legislation. Senator
Elihu Root, in addressing the
American Bar Association, de-
clared that the people were
right in their contention that
there were too many laws. In
the five years from 1909 TO 1918
Congress and the State Legisla-
tureS enacted more than $4,000
statutes, and in the same period
there were over $4,000 decisions
of Federal and State courts Of
last resort, reported in $50 vol
unes.
A most intimate connection
exists between the number of
eases and the lumber of poorly
drawn laws. Every useless word,
every loose construction, every
ambiguous phrase is apt to cost
a law suit. Many of these stat
utes," says Senator Root, "are
drawn artifcially, carelessly, ig-
nOrantly. Their terms are 80
vague, uncertain, doubtful, that
they breed litigation inevitably.
They are thrust into the body of
existing laws without anybody
taking the pains to ascertain
what the existing laws are,
what decisions the courts have
made in applying and interpret
ing them, or what the resultant
Of forces will be when the old
laws and the new are brought to-
gether.' Such a mass of uncalI-
ei-for and sloppy legislation
Ueakens the respect for all law,
and throws a burden on the
courts that does not properly
belong to them, giving rise to the
expression Legislation by the
courts" In the period of un-
certainty elapsing between the
passage of a. law and its inter
probation by the courts we have
also a serious handicap to bust
ness in all legislation affecting
business interests. Senator
Roots suggestion that every leg
islature have a drafting bureau
10 put all measures in proper
form, would at least do away
with antiquities and incon-
