MUCH HORSE POWER is LOST
Full Use Of Animals Would Materially
Reduce Cost Of Crop Production
More Work Is Urged.
fBy w / spuLMAN

y. M
Carefully conducted investigations
by the agricultural department of the
University of Minnesota, as well as
those conducted by the office of farm
management of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. show that
under ordinary conditions on Ameri-
can farms work horses are utilized
only about three and half hours a
day on the average. Horse power is
thus utilized to less than half it's 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 is on the average about $125 a
year. The average utilization of the
horse is about 1850 hours a 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 five
cents.

EXPERIMENT WITH HOG FEET
Relative Value Of Potatoes and Corn
Obtained In Test Held at the
Wisconsin Station.

The relative value OF potatoes and
corn as feed for hogs, obtained In a
test at the Wisconsin station, is given
as follows:
Four hundred pounds cornmeal fed
alone produced 100 pounds gain; 262
pounds cornmeal with 1856 pounds of
potatoes, weighed before cooking, pro.
duced the same number of pounds
gain.
Professor Henry who conducted the
experiments, says: From this we
learn that 1856 pounds of potatoes
when fed to pigs after being cooked,
effected saving of 178 pounds of
cornmeal, 442 pounds of potatoes TAX
ing the place of 100 pounds of corn
meal"
Professor Henry In his book Feeds
and Feeding also says that the Cop
enhagen station found 400 pounds of
cooked potatoes equal to 100 pounds
of mixed grains for swine. Since
corn has somewhat higher feeding
value than the grains used In this test,
It is fair to say th>t As bushels go
pounds EACH of potatoes after cook
ing, are equal to one bushel (56
pounds) Of corn in feeding pigs.

MAKE BETTER BUTTER
No Reason Why Product Should
Not Be improved in Quality.
BY More Careful Handling and Fol-
lowing Simple Directions Given,
Better Grade Can Be Made
Hand Separator Favored.
By H. M. BAINEs)

Nearly all butter sold by the farmer
is poorer quality than it should be.
By more careful handling and better
methods there is no reason why this
product should not only be improved
in quality, but a better price should
be received for it. By carrying out
the following conditions and methods
a very much better grade Of butter
should be produced:
Hand separator cream produces bet
ter butter than that separated by any
other method. The deep can sur
rounded by cold water is second best;
pans and crooks are third best, and
the water-dilution method comes last

BRUSH DAIRY cow EACH DAY
Any Animal Suspected Of Being In
Bad Health Should Be Removed
From Herd-keep Barn Clean.

The COW should be brushed with a
good stiff brush daily. Any COW sus-
pected of being in bad health should
be promptly removed from the herd
and the milk rejected Fresh. palatable
feedstuffs should be fed and feed
should never be changed suddenly.
Water in abundance. easy of access
and always pure, fresh but not too
cold, should be provided at all times.
Salt, too, should always be accessible.
The barn should be kept clean and
the stables whitewashed once or twice
every six months. No dry. dusty feed
should be used Just before milking.
The stables should be cleaned and
aired thoroughly before milking. Ven
tilation and light are absolutely neces-
sary No strong smelling material
should be left in the stables for any
length of time. Musty and dirty litter
should never be used.
When the cows are MIXED the milk
should be removed at once, strained
and aerated. Cleanliness is good
preventive to keep milk from sour
ing at once.

CURING MEAT FOR HOME USE
One Of Essentials for Good Meat Is
Properly Designed smokehouse-

smoked meats when you can smoke

many years ago when most farmers
knew how to butcher and cure meats
few of them were without a smoke
house and meat storing room of
some kind, writes Leah Ruth Lippin-
colt in Farmers Mail and Breeze. The
development Of the centralized plant
or packing house has caused a great
majority Of our farmers to lose the art
OF home curing. 1t will be profitable,
with the present high prices of cured
meat and market values of live stock
to cure meat for home use or even the
local trade.

Lead Pencil yndu.trv.

The English lead pencil industry.
which is receiving notable impetus
through the war. dates back to the
early half of the eighteenth century,
when plumbago-which hitherto had
served mainly for the manufacture Of
shot and crucibles-was first used for
writing purposes. All the black lead
used In pencil making then came from
Seathwaite, which enjoys the double
distinction Of being the rainiest VII
Iage in the British Isles. and OF be-
ing the only place In the world where
pure piumbago may be found. This
mine yielded huge fortune to the
Bankas family. who owned 1t. the out
put in 1913 amounting to 81 tons Of
pure plumbago, which realized $685.
900. Twenty years later foreign
graphite began to take the place Of
plumbago In pencil making and In
1850 the Seathwaite mine was closed
down.

Japs Pay Higher Prices for Food

Imported foods. on the average, cost
in Japan from 10 to Is per cent more
than before the war. Increases In
freight and insurance are chiefly
blamed for the rise Imported butter
has risen 20 per cent, and is still
mounting. largely due to the fact that
the belligerent powers In Europe have
prohibited the export Of butter.
