"The people OF the State will soon
know, or have the opportunity TO know,
the exact condition 1.-THE States finances,
the sources from which the revenue came
and the purposes for which every dollar
of il was expended during the fiscal year
ending June 80, last"
THE above statement was made a few
days ago by State Tax Commissioner Fred
o. Blue. 1t is exactly what the Register
has been suggesting for some months
past. There have been good manly
insinuations as to how the States money
has been spent during the past year or
two, and extravaganza and miSmanage-
ment have been charged. So far as we
know, there is no ground for the intima-
ton that anything is wrong-indeed, we
are free 10 say that we have every conil-
dence in the administration. But the
money is collected from the people by
their public servants, and il is only fair
that the people should be informed as TO
the manner in which every dollar has
been expended. We confess that we are
interested in seeing plain and complete
statement, just on general principles.

Powerful arc lights combined with
newly designed moving picture ap-
paratus are used at the Scala theater
in London to produce some wonderful
effects. for the persons are seen in
life size moving about without the
use of any visible screen, so that they
appear to act upon a real theater
scene which is lighted as is custom
airy in such cases. This remarkable
result is brought about by optical
combinations which have as yet not
been made public. The Illusion is
heightened by electric devices of an
improved kind for working a phono-
graph together with the moving pic
ture machine so that it always keeps
In step, and the words or music are
reproduced at exactly the same time
as the gestures. 1t is said that the
new apparatus does this with great
perfection.

SELECT EGGS FOR HATCHING
Should Be Fresh as Possible and From
Sound, Vigorous, Healthy Breed
ing Stock Only.

All eggs intended for Matching pur-
poses. whether under hens or in incu-
bators, should be as fresh as possible
when set. These eggs should be from
sound, vigorous, healthy breeding
stock only. Choose medium-sized
eggs that are well formed and that
have smooth, normal appearing shells.
Thin or rough shelled eggs should not
be set, neither should eggs be used on
which there are any little warty-like
excrescences of lime, as these will be
sure to chip off in turning and leave
holes in the ogg shell which will pre-
vent further development of the en-
bryo. Eggs intended for Matching
should be kept in a cool, dry, clean
place and should not be turned while
being so kept. The temperature of
the room in which they are kept
should not fall below 40 degrees or
go above go degrees F. Prolonged ex-
posture of eggs to temperature of 10
degrees or above will injure the vital
ity of the germ and be almost certain
to result in dead germs or fully
formed chicks dead in the shell.

TIN CANS FOR PLANTS
GROW MORE RAPIDLY THAN IN
ORDINARY POTS.
Great Advantage Is That 1t Is Easier
to Maintain Nearly Constant
Moisture Content Without
Rapid Drying Of Soil.
(By E. WILCOX


1t has long been observed that
many young Seeding plants grow
more rapidly and with greater vigor
IN tin cans than in ordinary florists
pots. In order to obtain further infor-
nation on this subject and to deter
mine the cause Of the difference in
growth, set of experiments was car
ried out, by the writer, the general
results of which will be given here.
Young uniform seedlings were
planted in ten cans and also in ten
pots. Five Of the cans and five of the
pots were coated with parafine to
eliminate any effect which the contain
ers themselves might have on plant
growth. The same amount of soil
was used and the treatment as to wa
tering was uniform and the same care
was given to each. The plants were
as near uniform as possible at the
start. At two months of age the plants
in two of the pots more porous than
the rest were 31a inches high, those
in the three medium porous pots Az
inches, those in the paraffine pots
51s inches, those in the paraflne tins
6A inches, those in the untreated tins
TX inches. The height and vigor of
the plants showed a regular series Of
graduations, increasing in size as the
evaporation from the container de-
creased,
The great advantage of using tin
cans rather than porous pots seems to
rest in the fact that in tins it is easier
to maintain nearly constant moist
ure content without a rapid drying of
the soil about the growing roots. This
results in more rapid and vigorous
growth. Since nearly one-half of the
evaporation from pots takes place
through the side Of the pot, the move
ment Of this part of water is necessar-
lily in horizontal direction. Root
growth responds to the direction of
the water movements in SOIL There
fore, the roots reach the side Of the
container more quickly and in greater
numbers in pots than In tin cans.
After watering, the soil rapidly dries
by escape of water through the side of
the pot, thus leaving the young root
lets too dry. By the shrinkage of the
soil away from the side of the pot in
drying, space is formed into which
the water runs upon the next water
ing. The roots are thus alternately
exposed to the air and submerged in

IMPROVING THE DAIRY cow
Several Excellent Suggestions Given
by Colorado Experiment station
Get All Strippinqs.

The Colorado experiment station
gives the following suggestions for
increasing the efficiency of dairy
COWS: The dairy COW may often be
brought up to the high degree of eff
cheney by some simple means. The
persistency of the mixer will pay well
for all the extra time spent. Try to
make the COW think she has not given
enough, and she will set about to
make it up next time.
A little milk left in the udder will
make her think she is giving more
than she is expected to give, and at
the next milking she will not have
quite so much for you. There is
great difference in the per cent of
butterfat in the first and last milk
drawn. The first will sometimes be
as low as one per cent, and the last
has been known to run as high as Il
per cent. 1t pays to work for the
strippings.
The manipulation of the udder will
often result in the increase of a pound
Of milk. This is usually done after
the mixer has secured all the milk
he can, by taking the teat in the hand
and pushing the udder up close
against the body, repeating this about
three times with each quarter. Then
take each quarter. in turn. between
the hands, with the hands close to
the body, and rub down.
The extra milk secured at single
milking may not pay you for the time
but it will stimulate the cows to give
that much more at the next milking
without extra work. Here is where the
profit will come in.
We all know that COW with which
the calf is allowed to run will very
soon adjust the flow of milk to the
needs of the calf, and it is equally
true that the dairy COW can and will
increase the milk flow If encouraged
by the mixer. Get all the strippings.
II will pay.

SlL0 IN A SHELTERED PLACE
Much of Trouble and Loss Caused by
Freezing Can Be Prevented by
Exercising Little Care.

(Ry A. D. WILSON, Director of Agrtcul-
tural Extension Division and Farmers
Institute. University Farm, st. Paul,
Mimi
None of the types of silos put upon
the market so far will keep silage in
this latitude without more or less
freezing taking place during the win
ter months, although those having
air spaces in the walls seem to freeze
somewhat less than the type having
solid walls.
Experience has shown, however,
that freezing can be kept within rea-
sonable limits in silos of any common
type by the exercise Of little extra
care. A good tight roof should bel
provided and the doors should be kept
closed as much as possible to prevent
circulation of air above the silage and
to keep in the heat generated by the
silage.
In using, it is important to keep
the surface of the silage level or even
a trifie high in the middle, not allow
ing hole to form in the center, as Isl
sometimes done when silage begins to
freeze around the edges. We have
never had any bad results from feed
ing frozen silage, but it will not keep
long after thawing out
Since most Of the freezing is due to|
cold air above the silage, 1t is pcssible|
to afford considerable protection byI
keeping the surface covered with hay
or straw, or better STILL blanket orl
canvas.
If in addition to these precautions|
it is convenient to build the silo in al
sheltered place, there should be little
loss or trouble from freezing.

do not occur No water can escape
through the tin The moisture con-
tent of the whole ball of soil is uni
form and consequently the roots dis
tribute themselves uniformly through
the mass.
When used in growing plants, tin
cans show quite extensive disintegra-
ton within year. Under the influence
of oxygen, the soil solution and plant
acids, salts of tin, zinc and iron are
formed from the can and solder The
growing tips of rootlets come in con-
tact with the side of the can, and are
in position to absorb these mineral
salts. Naturally the salts of the tin
and zinc in tin cans must be in ex-
IRENE dilution. Under these conditions
tin and zinc are known to stimulate
plant growth to some extent.
On account of the fiaring tops of
pots, they occupy more space than
tins. The growth of plants in tins is
faster than in potts. for the reason
that uniform moisture content is
more easily maintained in tins We
find in practice that plants in tin cans
will thrive we'll when watered only
every third day. under conditions
where pots require watering every
day This brings about an economy in
time and labor.
