dicating greatly enlarged arrivals OF
nitrates, potash salts. and other sim

GOODYEAR TIRES AT
ANTE-BELLuM PRICES

The Goodyear Tire G. Rubber Co.
announce mo war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr.. F. A. Sieberling, president
Of the Company, thus explains their
unique position.
we advanced Goodyear prices, as
others did theirs, when the rubber
panic came. Almost in a day crude
rubber rose in New York from 55 cents
per pound to much over a dollar.
The New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick of
the rubber there. By acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1900
900 pounds of the finest rubber.
That big supply of rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. It constitutes the
best of the London supply.
We are using the same grade of
rubber and the same amount of it as
WI always have used in these tires.
Eve are running our factory with
three shifts of men, twenty-four hours
a day. So long as we remain in this
fortunate position on rubber. we shall
supply the users at before-war prices
to the, limit of u capacity"

CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
European Experiments May Be Said
to Have DispelIed Legend Of
Their lndIgestibiIity.

rheumatism in one form or another
afHicts the major part Of the popula-
ton. and rheumatism, as most persons
know, is due to an accumulation of
uric acid in the system. The Danish
food reformer, DR.. H. Hindhede, whose
experiments have made a considerable
stir in his own country and in Ger
many, has found in the potato the
most useful solvent. apart from drugs,
of this acid.
Experiments at the Hindhede Re-
search laboratory have shown that a
diet of potatoes exclusively is capable
of dissolving more than six times he
quantity of uric acid resulting from
the diet itself.
Two things must be borne in mind
in connection with a diet Of potatoes.
One is that, whether mashed or not,
they require a great deal of masti-
cation. The legend Of their indiges-
tibility is doubtless due to their being
usually "bolted' with little or no ad-
mixture of saliva. The other point is
that butter should always be eaten
with them, in order to supply the pro-
portion Of fat required in our daily
food.

CORN VALUABLE FOR POULTRY
Not Much Danger of Becoming Over
fat, If Compelled to Exercise for
Their Grain.

Corn is a valuable poultry food.
and 1t is in its abuse and not its use
that it is to be condemned. Some
fowls become fat on almost any kind
of food, while others will not fatten
even on corn. There seems TO be a
good bit of human nature about the
makeup of the hen. If hens are made
to exercise for their grain, and are in
a good laying condition, there is not
much danger of their becoming over
fat. In fact it is rather a difficult
matter to overfatten laying hens. 1t
is when they are slack in laying and
become lazy that the fat seems to start
to grow. When hens become too fat
they should be placed in a separate
yard where there is no male bird, as
the attention of a male to an overfat
hen is apt to hasten death. If such
hens are given only an evening feed
of wheat and nothing during the day
except green food and water they
will soon lose considerable of their
surplus fat.

SUCCESS OF DAIRYMAN
MUCH DEPENDS UPON CAREFUL
REARING OF CALVES.
Where Valuable Animals Are Raised
1t Is Advisable When Possible to
Have Separate Pens for Them
and Feed in Stanchion.
(By C. H.

The success of the dairy farmer
depends to no slight extent upon the
careful rearing of the calves. This is
especially true since dairy cows have
reached their present high market
price. Most farmers begin with ordi-
nary cows or the best they can get
close at home. AS a rule this is the
best plan to follow. The development
of a high class herd from these will
depend largely upon three things:
1. The careful selection of indl-
vidual cows.
2. The use of a pure bred sire.
3. The careful raising of the heif-
er calves from the best cows.
The COW should be in good flesh
at calving time for the best results
in milk. She should be dry six weeks.
During the ~pasturing season there is
no better plan than to leave her in
the pasture, of course under observa-
ton, until the calf is born.
The dairy calf is ordinarily raised
by hand since the milk of the dairy
COW. is usually worth so much more
than the calf that it requires the first
consideration. 1t is aywell established
fact that a calf raised on skim milk
is as good as one nursed by it's moth
er. In localities familiar with dairy
ing this is well understood, but in 9TH
er places is virtually unknown, and a
strong prejudice exists against feed
ing skim milk OF account of the I'M
healthy and understood calves that
have been raised in this way. Such
calves are the victims of ignorance
or carelessness. The skim milk calf
properly raised differs little, if any,
in size, quality, thrift, and value from
the same animal when raised by the
cow.
/ While the question as to whether
calves should be dropped in the fall
or spring may be decided by special
conditions, on the whole, fall calves
have superior advantages. They come
gent and they can have the best at
tention of the farmer or dairyman.
The disadvantages of winter feeding
are more than Offset by hot weather
and annoyance from flies. The fall
calf is weaned in the spring and can
be put IN grass without further at
tention, while the spring calf goes on
dry feed when weaned. For the first
three months 1t does not matter mate
rally whether calves are eating hay
or pasture, but the second six months
they will do better on grass than any
other ration. Ordinarily the COW

SKIM MILK VALUABLE DRINK
Repeated Tests Demonstrate PuIiets
Lay More Eggs in Winter When
Fed on This Diet.

To test the value of skim milk fol
laying hens, 60 pullets were put ir
two pens, equally divided, of one va
riety and all as near of an age as
possible. They were fed exactly alike
keeping strict account of their feed
but given different drinks. One pen
had sweet skim milk. while the other
had only plenty of fresh water.
This test was begun on November
L and accounts were balanced with
both pens on May l following. The
hens that drank the water had but a
little over half as much credit for eggs
laid, while their feed had cost nearly
a third more than the pen which were
fed skim milk. Some days in the very
coolest weather the milk-fed pen OF
80 pullets laid 2S eggs, and their av
erage for January was "a eggs daily
The skim milk-fed pen not only pro
duced many more eggs, but they die
not consume as much food as the other
pen.
Since then thesevtests have been re
peatedly tried with different breeds
and with the same results.

INEFFICIENT IN EVERY WAY
Conduct Of the State Departments In
European Crisis a Disgrace
to the Country.

The state department has been pitt.
fully ineffective ia connection with the
special demands put upon it by the
sudden coming ON of war. Something
like paralysis has seized upon it. For
weeks il has been deluged with in
Quiries from anxious persons all
over the country as to the where
abouts of Americans IN Europe and
their financial condition. Definite ad.
dresses have been given to the de-
partment, which undertook to pursue
inquiries through diplomatic and con.
sular offices abroad. But the depart.
ment has nothing to show in the way
Of results. In truth. private inquiry
has far outrun the government in the
matter OF hunting up Americans In
Europe. A case in point has come to
the ~Argonaut's notice. On August 4
the department was asked to learn the
whereabouts and circumstances of'cer
tain San Francisco women travelling
" attended and believed to be at
Rome, Genoa or Montreaux. The de-
partment glibly promised to cable i'm
mediately. "A California senator and
representative have called repeatedly
at the department and have been as
sured that 1t was busy through Its
European agents. Losing faith in de-
partment methods, the husband Of one
of the ladies in San Francisco got
himself diligently to work at this end
Of the cable and In three days man
aged to locate them. Still'nothing has
come ont OF the department. Parallel
instances are many. Private energy
beats the department of state with It's
elaborate system Of European repre-
sentation at every turn. The trouble
is that the minor officials Of the de-
partment are inexpert men practically
unfamiliar with European conditions.
They were given their places by Sec
rotary Bryan. not because they were
fit for their Jobs. but because 1t suited
his ideas of political expediency. In
c~jdentally 1t Is noted that the service
OF the American embassy In London
was SO demoralized by the demands
put upon 1t by the war that It had fig
uratively speaking to throw up its
