Repeated Like Machine Gun.

The attention of the committee of
seventy is invited to the device en-
ployed in Santo Domingo to prevent
repeating; the voters hands are
marked with indelibile ink. It is re-
ported that some of the voters have
found it possible to erase the marks,
but it is not known whether they have
done this in order to repeat. At any
rate, the practice of marking man
opens up considerable possibilities in
the way of the publication of elec-
lions. For example, in one of our
cities recently one-legged negro was
found to have voted six times. He
went to the polls once with an artifi-
cial leg, once with peg" leg, and
once with nothing but his natural leg

ties to support a fishery. The fishery
steamer Albatross was used for this
survey.
A halibut ground was found off
Newport, Ore, covering an area Of
approximately ESQ square miles. AS
an immediate result Of the Albatross
findings, fishermen made q trips to
the ground, taking about $4,000
pounds of halibut, valued at about
$4,000. Trips yielding 10000 pounds
were made in four days or less. IT.

weather conditions and the lack OF

from April to October.
Several smaller areas off Grays har-
Dor and Coos bay may be expected to
produce halibut in limited numbers,

found to abound in founders, soles

Advice to Housewives.

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Vrooman says that the American
housewife could materially reduce the
cost of living if she were to get the
four-mixing habit.
There are some thirty substitutes
that can be mixed with wheat flour
in making bread" he says. Many of
these are more nutritious than wheat
flour; some of them are cheaper than
wheat floprsand of these two or three
at least are commercially obtainable
almost anywhere.
Potatoes, corn flour, and rice can
be used with profit in mixture with
wheat flour in making yeast bread.
With wheat flour as dear as it is now,
the careful housewife stands to effect
quite a saving by Nsing one of these
products to exc out her wheat -four
Experiments have shown that the sub
stitutes can be used successfully in
the proportion of one part to three
parts of wheat flour. At least three
fourths of the mixture must be good
wheat flour"

ROAD
BgDIL ding
POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
More FUSS Over Freight Rates Than
Cost of Hauling Crops From
Farm to Railroad.

A good deal Of fuss IS raised over
freight rates. and everybody who has
ANYTHING to do with the transportation
Of croDs OF merchandise is up IN arms
gbs moment railroads give the least
mtimation that freight rates are to be
advanced. But at the same time, there
is strong tendency to give no atteh'
linn to the cost of hauling farm crops
from their point Of origin on the farm
to the railroad station; a matter OF
greater concern than all the railroad
rates In the world, says Fruit Grower
and Farmer.
Uncle Sam has found that it costs
IN the neighborhood of rs cents mile
To haul ton over the average coun'
try road. But this cost may run up
to ten times this figure over bad roads,
and be reduced as many times over
good roads with modern vehicles.
This cost is something that is rarely
ever figured in by the producer when
summing up his marketing expense,
even though it will frequently make a
figure that is not much less than the
cost of getting his produce to the dis
lant market by rail.
Good roads are expensive to build
and are more or less Of an expense TO
maintain, but if it were possible 10
compare the lowered cost Of trans
porting the farm produce over the
road before and after Improvement 1t
would be found that the cost was paid
back with interest within very few
years after improvement. Low grades
are Of first consideration, for it costs
moro money to haul over a billy road
than over level one, where the sur
face is the same. But on almost any
road, 1t is easily possible to have at
least d smooth surface on Which to
drive.
The King drag is the implement that
viii make the surface smooth and
keep it smooth. And the wonder oil
It is that more farms do not have a
drag as an essential part Of their
equipment. Road dragging time is
just coming with the breaking up Of
the snow, and its usual accompani
ment of mud. Heavy traffic over such
roads makes ruts and bad roads of the
worst sort, unless the ruts are filled
by dragging. Prepare now to keel

CHARACTERISTICS OF A MULE
Endurance, Vigor and Easiness to
Keep Depend Upon kMare-De-
mand Is for Big Animals.

Mule breeders differ to some extent
over whether the mule colts charac-
teristics are due most to the jack OF
to the mare. Several investigators
who have asked mule breeders Tor
their experiences and opinions have
received information that was at Varl-
ance. The weight of opinion, however,
seems to incline that the external
characteristics of the mule colt are
given him by the jack, while his en-
durance, vigor and easiness to keep
will depend upon the mare.
So it will be seen that the SCRUB
mare, the cat.hammed, Washy type
of little weight or stamina will not
make a suitable mother for the mule
that is to sell we'll. Any sort Of a
mare will not do, but that is rather a
popular idea among some growers.
Take a big farm mare, one that Will
stand about is, 1915 or 16 hands high,
and that weighs anywhere from l,4OO
to 1900 pounds, and bred to good
jack she should produce the kind OF
mules that the market is always look
ing for.
When the jack is selected he should
be of fair size and weight at about
1000 to 1900 pounds, and have the
right kind of a pedigree back OF him
Of course there are good jacks that
are somewhat smaller, but the 10 to
1872 hand animal is the one that Is
most certain to produce the type q
mules that a farmer likes to be able
to offer Where an animal is bought
it is worth the buyers while to spenC
a little more and get as nearly what
is wanted as possible.

MAKE Strip FROM SORGHUM
Cultivation of Plant Is Much Like
Complaining Should Be Done
When Soil Is Warm.
(Bv A, J. LEGG.4

Sorghum is divided into two gener-
al classes. In the first are included
all of the varieties which contain
enough sugar that it will pay to culti-
vate for the sugar. This class is the
saccharine class.
In the second class is included the
varieties that are cultivated for the
seed stalks, etc, used for feed for
farm animals. This class is called
the nonsaccharine class. It contains
some sugar, but is low in sugar con-
tents while the saccharine class may
contain as much as 20 per cent of
sugar in its juice.
The saccharine or sweet varieties
are cultivated primarily for the sugar,
but the seed and blades both make
good feed for animals.
The seeds make good feed for al
most any farm animal and for poultry.
Sorghum is cultivated very much
like corn. 1t is planted in rows 312
to feet apart and the hills are about
two feet apart in the row, with four
or five stalks to the hill.
The first cultivation is very tedious,
as the plants start off slowly but after
the plants get up little the cultiya-
ton is not more difficult than corn.
An acre of good sorghum will yield
from one hundred to two hundred
gallons of strip, worth from forty to
fifty cents per gallon. \
The planting should be done little
later than early corn, as the sorghum
will not do much growing until the
soil gets warm. When the seed gets
ripe, the stalks are bladed and the
blades cured and tied into bundles.
The cane is cut and tops cut off. The
tops or seed head should be allowed
to dry out before storing away, else
| they will mold.
The stalks are crushed in cane
mill and the juice strained and boiled
either in an evaporation or a large
pan.
Before the juice reaches the boil,
all of the green scum must be
skinned off.
Another way to dispose of the green
scum is to put the juice in a long,
deep box with small holes in one end,
corked with wooden plugs for drawing
off the juice without agitating the juice
in the box.
The box is filled with juice and
about one-fourth bushel of we'll pull
verified clay with as little sand in ii
as can be got is pet in the juice and
we'll stirred. In a few minutes the
clay will begin to sink and the green
scum will adhere to it. The clay
will take all of the green to the bot
tom of the box.
AS soon as the green scum and the
clay sink sufficient to allow the pure
juice to run from the top hole it may
be opened and the juice drawn off
Then the second hole from the top il
opened, and so on until the juice Il
all drawn off and only the pulVerizec
clay and the green scum remain.
When this is done the juice may b.
boiled into strip without the troubl
of skimming by hand.
The clay method of cleansing tn
juice is preferable to the old plan 0
Swimming as it makes better, cleare
strip and the purifying is done befor
the strip is heated.
