DEMAND MAKES PRICES

In response to the petition of Mrs.
Julian Heath, president Of national
league of housewives, the law ma
chinery of the nation has been put in
motion to ascertain whether anyone
has sinned in causing the price of
flour to go up.
The action taken has reference to
the gambling tendencies of grain ex-
changes, through which it is sus-
pected the price of the raw material
for flour may be artihcially boosted
hey ond its real value.
Ii there ever was a time when
wheat should advance, it is now.
There was never before in the history
of trade time when the demand of
consumers was so strongly centered
upon the United States as at present.

THEN AND NOW

While the war is affecting our trade,
there is some satisfaction in recalling
that during our civil war the trade of
the European countries was hit SO hard
that England started a movement with
France to force the North and the South
to settle the existing difficulties. About
this time Russian feet steamed into
the New York harbor, and this act on
the part of the Russian government
caused England torevise her plans.

INSOMNIA
Leads to Madness, II Not RemedIed.

Experiments satisfied me. some 8

that coffee was the direct cause of the
insomnia from which | suffered ter
ribly, as well as extreme nervousness
and acute dyspepsia.
Il had been a coffee drinker since
childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all
this harm. But it was, and the time
came when l had to face the fact, and
protect myself. l therefore gave up
adopted Postum for my hot. drink at
meals
Il began to note improvement in
my condition very soon after l took
on Postum. The change proceeded
gradually. but surely. and it was a
matter OF only few weeks before
found myself entirely relieved-the
nervousness passed away. my diges
tive apparatus was restored to normal
efiiciency. and l began to sleep rest
fully and peacefully.
These happy conditions have con-
tinued during all of the years, and
am safe in saying that l owe them
entirely to Postum, for when | began
to drink it | ceased to use medicines"

TEETH PROJECTIONS
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Many Animals Fail to Make Good
Gains Owing to Bad Condi-
ton of Grinders.

The horse most commonly grow n
upon the farm and the one which Is
so often neglected, when 1t comes to
horse.
Pounds of flesh are an important
factor in determining his market value.
This being the case, 1t is very neces-
sary to have him make heavy gains.
One OF the first points to be considered
in fattening a horse is to attend to his
teeth. Many horses fail to make good
gains, due to the. fact that their teeth
are not in proper condition.
The preparation of the teeth is
known as the floating of the teeth.
1t is best to get veterinarian to do
this, as he has the proper instruments,
and where there are many to do, IT
can be done more rapidly. Floating
the teeth is a point which a great
many people overlook. and is in many
Instances the cause OF a horse being
out of condition.
When horse has number of sharp
projections on his teeth, the gums be-
come sore and raw, so that he does not
masticate his food properly; conse-
quently indigestion often results and
the horse runs down in his condition.
In examining lot of horses recent
ly, it was found that a large number
OF them had sharp projections on the
under edge of the grinders. Their
mouths were in such condition that
a person would wonder how they could
eat at all.
But after their teeth had been float
ed down, quite marked change was
noticed.

will also be possible to secure visits

OF Tennessee have proved very sue,
cessful in this work. The same organ.
ization can be used in disposing of the
wool.
In the countries where economy in
farm management has been studied
long time the sheep is considered to
be necessary in utilizing vegetation ON
such waste lands as are not wet or
marshy. But the sheep can hold its
place on high-priced land as meat
producer alone. Compared with
larger animals 1t has some important
advantages. First. the lambs mature
very rapidly, being marketable at four
months OF age or later, according to
breeding and feeding. This is an
economy, because larger proportion
of the total feed goes into increase
of weight than in slower growing ami.
mails. Second, the sheep consumes a
greater variety of plants than do other
animals. Many of such plants are
detrimental to pastures and would
otherwise require hard labor to hold
them in check. Third. grain waste in
harvesting can be entirely recovered
by sheep. These facts prompt some
farmers to claim that the summer food
they consume would otherwise bring
no returns.

Psychology of Practice

The question of short versus long
periods of practice in training the hui
man muscles for any particular kind
of work is obviously one having far
reaching application. Some interest.
ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out by DR.. X. S. Lashley
of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi-
tion of skill in archery was selected
as the subject of observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot five
arrows with the English longbow per
day; another. twenty shots per day;
and the third, forty shots. The re-
suits showed conclusively that the
group shooting only five times a day
improved in accuracy with less ex-
penditure of time in practice than was
required by either of the other groups
for the same amount of Improvement.
A report on the experiments says:
THE relatively greater efficiency of
short periods of practice continuing
for many days is in accordance with
the results OF the study of animals
and of speech habits in man, and in
dicates that in training to muscular
feats, in both animals and man. the
length of practice periods required is
usually TOO great for maximum ef-
ficiency. y."-Scientific American

What Causes Tuberculosis.

DR.. John North of Toledo, o.. is
working on the theory that tubercu-
losis may be due to lack of lime
in the system. as he says that while
tubercular germs are everywhere. they
only thrive in ripe soil and Just what
is lacking in persons subject to tuber
cular trouble gives food for thought
He says that there is less tuber-
culosis among people living in arid re
gions and plants in such places have
more lime in their composition than
those growing in humid regions.

The consumption OF mutton per cap
ita in the United States is increasing
every year. though the amount used is
much less in proportion to other meat
than in Europe. There are good rea-
sons for expecting continuation of
good prices for mutton and lamb, and
the demand for wool also may be ex-
pected to increase more rapidly than
the production. These facts are
brought out in q recent letter from a
scientist OF the department of agricul-
ture to q southern farmer who in
quired regarding the possibilities of
the sheep business.
The departments specialist called
attention to the fact that while farm
raised sheep have often not been prof
liable, this has usually been because
of lack OF proper attention and man
agement. Variations in price of wool
and mutton have stood in the way of
such general interest in sheep as
would cause them to be regarded as
highly as they should be in the future.
Ranges all over the world are now
carrying about as many sheep as they
can support under strict range sys-
TEN, and an increase in the production
of sheep products must come mainly
from farms. Here, then, is the farm
er's opportunity to take advantage of
the increased consumption of these
products.
While mutton can be produced at
low cost and there is growing de-
mand for 1t, difficulty in selling may
be experienced in sections where the
amount OF live stock produced has not
been sufficient to make 1t worth while
for regular buyers to operate. Slaugh-

One was fed shelled corn. shorts and

Figuring corn at 60 cents bushel,
shorts at $26 ton, tankage at $55,
and oil meal at s36. the tankage-fed
lots returned from five to nine cents
profit on bushel Of grain fed.
An interesting side light of the ex-
pertinent was trial of the self-feeder.
The three feeds, sheIled corn, shorts
and tankage, were supplied In a dry
form and separately. The hogs Sc
iected the following ration: Shelled
corn, 86.5 per cent; shorts, 5.5. and
tankage, 7.9. The settled hogs made
greater daily gains than the fastest
