A FARM MANAGEMENT
DEMONSTRATION IS BEING
HELD in KENNEBEC COUNTY

To do this work it will be necessary
to take a record Of the entire farm
business for one year. April LIST. 1914
to April LIST. 1915. Acreage and yield
of all crops are noted together with
sales. purchases and all increase in
livestock. In addition to this, all re-
ceipts and items Of expense are re-
corded so that we may figure the in
come from the use Of capital and the
farmers labor.
1t is not necessary that you have
complete record Of all these items,
since you will have them well enough
in mind to give from memory, in
very short time, record of your farm
business that will be sufficiently ac-
curate for this purpose. If. however.
you keep any records we would ap-
preciate it if you would make them
available for our use.
After these records are taken they
will be figured and summaries and
copy of the summary returned to you
together with an average of all farms
and an average of the most profitable
ones. 1t is our purpose. also. to per-
sonally visit the farmer and explain the
method of figuring the record and TO
discuss it with him.
All information is absolutely conf
Dental, no one but the men doing the
work see the individual records. This
work is absolutely free and has
NOTHING, WHATEVER, to do with
taxation.
One Of the men cooperating in this
work or myself will arrange to call
upon you within the next week for a
record of your business.
Thanking you in advance for your
cooperation in this work and help in
making it a success, / remain,

OUR BIG SCRAP HEAP.
Metal Valued at Nearly Sixty Million
Dollars Recovered from Junk and
Waste.

In 1914 the value Of the second
airy metals" exclusive Of gold, silver.
platinum, iron and steel, recovered in
the United States was 57,039, 7O6. ac-
cording to j. P. Dunlop, Of the United
States Geological Survey. This is a
decrease from 1918 of s15.746,321, the
secondary metals recovered in that
year being valued at s72. 7S6,o27.
The term secondary does not i'm
ply that these metals, which are re-
covered from scrap metal, sweepings,
skimmings. Dresses, ETC., are of in
ferior quality. but is used to distin-
guish them from primary metals"
which are derived from ore. While
the Survey figures relative to lead.
zinc. copper, aluminium, tin, and anti
mony given in this statement cover
a large field and form an essential
addition to the reports on primary
metals, the scope Of the inquiry prob
ably reveals less than one-half the
extent Of the waste-metal trade. The
value of the old iron and steel reused
amounts to millions of dollars.

Stops the Pains
Of Indigestion
When Soda Tablets Lose Effect
Try This Simple Remedy.

People who are accustomed to
taking some digestive tablet after
meals which depend solely on Soda
or Pepsin as digestive aids, gen.
orally find such remedies soon lose
their force and that it takes two or
three tablets to bring relief where
at first it took but one.
Such a condition is dangerous
and the use of such remedies
should be promptly stopped before
serious damage is done the stom-
ach. The excessive use Of Pepsin
weakens the natural organs Of d.

Soda irritate the stomach walls.
