Carefully conducted Investigations
by the agricultural department Of the
University, Of Minnesota, ~ well q
those conducted by the ONCE of farm
management of the United States do
partment Of agriculture. show that
under ordinary conditions on Ameri-
can farms work horses are utilized
only about three and . half hours .
day on the average. Horse power 10
thus utilized to less than half its ca,
pacity. Per unit Of work done this
power costs more than twice what It
should cost. The full utilization Of the
power actually available would thus
reduce materially the cost Of produc.
ing crops. The cost of keeping work
horse 10 on the average about $125 Q
year. The average utilization of the
horse IL about 1880 hours year. at
an hourly cost Of ten cents per hour.
II we double the number of hours
work the horse does and this can be
done without injury to the animal
we reduce the hourly cost to I'VE
cents.

Among the natural enemies Of the
grasshoppers are the blister beetles

larvae of which subsist almost wholly
on grasshopper eggs, The blister
beetles become very abundant IN
grasshopper years when food is plen'

KEEP PUREBRED FOWLS
No Branch of Farming That Pays
Better Than Poultry.
Progress Made by Farmers In Greater
Part Of Country 10 Encouraging
Attention to Details Es-
sentIai TO Success.

The progress made by the farmers
rail- ing poultry in the greater part OF
the United States in the past few
years is not only r,markable. but ia
very encouraging to those who are
trying to establish this very impor-
tant branch OF farming on q broad
or and more profitable basis than II
has heretofore occupied. But still there
IL plenty Of room for further prog
ress and advancement. Some OF the
occupants of farms who raise poultry
being rather slow in learning the diff
ference between haphazard methods
and inferior stock, and careful, meth
odical work with purebred fowls, you
can easily see from the returns of
their efforts that the state experiment
stations are doing much to overcome
this sort of poultry work and to show
these farmers who have neglected
poultry altogether as not paying that
there Is indeed no branch of farming
that pays better, when equal attention
IL given to modern methods and the
little details which are now consid-
cred as absolutely essential to success
with poultry.
Until very recently the poultry on
most farms has been mixture of all
sorts and breeds all running togeth-
or, and you might travel for miles
and visit farms and not be able to
see one purebred fowl of standard
variety. But that time has passed
and many farmers are keeping Moth
ing but purebred fowls, though there
10 still far too much Of the mongrel
variety which Is Of very little value

A bill passed in 1907 granted the
women OF Norway the franchise to
the extent that those who had paid
their taxes for the year preceding, or
those whose husbands had paid for
them, were qualified to vote at any
election. This enactment added about
100000 to the electorate.

DELAY IN AUTO PLATES.
Secretary of State Answers Com
plaints of Car Owners.

Answering complaints by automo-
bile owners that there is a delay of
three weeks in securing automobile
number plates from the state, w. S.
Allen, secretary of state, declares
that the condition of affairs is due to
the astounding increase in number of
automobiles owned in this state, and
the limited appropriation for carry
ing on the work of the registra ton
department. He says there should be
fifty clerks in the division during the
rush time. Instead he is getting
along with eleven clerks.
eve have registered exactly 1867
93S automobiles in Iowa up to May
49," said Mr.. Allen. up to May 49,,
1914, we had registered 76,443 ma
chimes. Already we have registered
24,419 machines more than we had
up to this time last year and we are
within 1000 of the total number Of
cars registered during the entire
twelve months of 1914.
"The automobile fees this year so
far amount to 1892, 555.05. 1t is
astonishing that this state has made
such an increase in automobiles. We
will register more than 100000 ma
chimes this year and in 1916 l expect
there will be at least $4,000
II do not intend to have this rush
condition occur again. Next year
expect to put on as many clerks as
can work conveniently, no matter
whether the appropriation is ex-
hasuted early in the year. | will
then depend on the retrenchment
and reform committee to help me
out.
'Iowa's auto registration depart
INIT has made record this year
which has never been equalled. Con-
slider Iowa with eleven clerks COM
pared with New York with 129 en-
ployes in the auto department New
York registered only SO per cent
more cars than Iowa did last year.
Illinois in 1914 registered 131, LAO
cars and had eighteen clerks. Penn
sylvania with the same number of
cars as Iowa had eighteen clerks in
the department"
An angry automobile owner at An
thon wrote to the secretary of state
demanding to know why there had
been delay in getting auto plates,
and he asked why the state of Iowa
does not conduct her business the
same as the ordinary business man
does his. To this Mr.. Allen replied:
"You have asked very proper
and plain question and will give
you plain and direct answer. There
is no excuse whatever for the state
of Iowa doing less for it's citizens
than the ordinary business man does
for his CLIENTELE. The trouble here is
that we are receiving, on an average
of 1000 applications for automobile
registrations per day and with the
limited force allowed the department
by the legislature of the state, we are
able, after the most strenuous efforts
to run through about one half this
number, or 1000 applications a day.
have frequently gone before the
legislature and legislative commit
tees and besought their help, that
we might have a large appropriation
for our work. SO that we might carry
