WAR HORSES NOT FOR FARMS.
%ricuItural Work, Says An Expert
of Kansas College.

The buying of a large number of
Kansas horses by the warning nations
of Europe will not cause a shortage
of farm power, believes DIR. C. W.
McCampbell, assistant professor of
animal husbandry in the college. The
war horse and the efficient farm horse,
declares Doctor McCampbell, are two
distinct types.
The war horse, weighing from l.
900 to 1,200 pounds, has been res
ponsible for much of the inefficiency
of farm power. The fewer war horses
left upon the farms, the better off
the farmer will be. 1t is the type of
horse adapted to wal that has always
caused the low prices in the horse
market, because the demand for this
type of horse in the commercial world
is practically gone. The sound, heavy
active, draft horse has always brought
the higher price.
If the people who think that there
will be a shortage of horses to oper-
ate the farms the coming year will no.
tice the type of horse that is being
exported, says Doctor McCampbell
they will find that it is not the farm
horses that the European countries
are buying but the medium-sized war
horses. An increased demand for the
heavy draft horse will result when
the small horses have disappeared.
Now is a good time, believes Doc
tor M~cCampbell, to get rid of the
small horses and raise draft horses,
as there will always be a strong mar
ket for the draft horse while the
market for the small horse is becom-
ing smaller each year.

PROVIDE PRODUCE PACK
AGES EARLY.

Observations by members of the
Extension staff at the New Jersey
Agricultural Experiment Station indi-
cate that the current season is to be
a record one for all kinds of farm pro-
duce, including fruit, vegetables and
other crops.
In view of this fact, the Station
feels that a word concerning a fore
sighted policy on the part of farmers
in the matter of providing for contain
ers and packages of various kinds is
not out of place. Box factories and
manufacturers of other packages are
reported to be receiving orders now
for packages desired by farmers. As
a matter of marketing economy orders
for such goods should be placed early.
Too often does it happen that this item
is left until the last minute. Nat
urally, when a manufacturer becomes
flooded with orders, he is apt to exact
a little higher figure for his goods,
especially when each purchaser is
clamoring for his order in a hurry.
Not only the extra expense thus in
Cured, but the loss or spelling of per-
ishable products while the grower is
waiting for his packages to arrive,
should have careful consideration.
The logical time to take stock of the
package supply is in the winter or
early spring while other work is not
pressing, but it is not too late yet to
insure against worry over a package
scarcity later in the season. This adj
vice applies this season especially to
peach growers.
In some cases where labor is avail
able it will be cheaper to make re-
ceptacles at the farm and this work
should not be postponed too long.

OF PARIS ROUND UP
UNDESIRABLE ELEMENT
Promenaders on Grand Bou1evards
Recently Treated to a Compare
lively Rare Spectacle.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS. August 1S.-Promenaders on
the grand boulevards of Paris have re-
Gently been treated to a spectacle COM
paratively rare since the beginning or
the war in general police raids such as
were effected at regular intervals DUR
ing the days of the "Apaches."
In the ninth and eighteenth arron-
disements, comprising Montmarte and
Belleville, the favorite quarters of the
lawless element, and on the grand
boulevards, the raids are most thorough.
They are organized by M. Roussolet.
chief of one of the metropolitan dis
tricts, who has under his orders eight
commissaires of police and two police
captains. who command four squads of
lain-clothes" men that sweep the
boulevards. Two squads operating on
both sides Of the boulevard start from
rue de Faubourg Poissonniere; while
two other squads start from the Made
leine, and they work toward each other.
Every man and woman unknown to tho
police as a law-abiding person must
show papers. The result of recent
raid of this kind was the verifcation of
the papers of f1fty-two professional
beggars, four cocaine merchants. eleven
special vagabonds, seventeen deserters
and 703 women of the street. OF these
512 were arrested.
Besides the rounds of the plain
clothes men on the hunt for civilians
in default, subaltern officers Of the
army now make nightly rounds of the
wine shops and cafes for delinquent
soldiers. When one Is seen inside a
wine shop after the stroke of nine a
sharp reminder in the form of single
word, 'militaire," brings him to a
realization that martial law is still in
force, and he salutes meekly and re-
turns to his quarters.
