an annual waste of $2O0,00O,0OO.
But progressive farmers are reduc-
ing this waste by using silos to pre-
serve chopped cOrnstalks and other
fodder crops.
The humble hen is the first aid to
the thrift of the farmers wife. but
the Department of Agriculture esti-
mates an annual loss of $4,000, 900
from unnecessarily spoiled eggs.
The annual shipment of potatoes
from Maine is $4,000 cars and it is
said that the average waste is 20
bushels per car, or a total of 1907
900 bushels.
The yearly waste of vegetables of
all kinds is duplicated by that of
fruit. The Government specialists
estimate that home canning on the
farm of what otherwise would be
wasted. ought to save at least $780,
100000 annually.
But these are large and general
statements. To get right down to
brass tacks," as they say, how can
the farmer actually save money?
He must not be tight-fisted or his
farm will not be kept up; he must
not be a spendthrift or he will get
into difficulties that way. In APT
preaching a bank for loan, a man
without bank account is handicap
ped.
The farmer who says 81 want to
buy twenty steers to fatten for the
market; will you loan me some
money!" will stand a good chance
of getting the loan. II he says, "our
best horse died and we are hard up;
the rent is coming due and the in
terest expires tomorrow; won't you
please loan me $2OO?" the banker
feels very sorry for him but dis
likes to risk goo perfectly good dol

promising outlook.

this morning that there was an insane
man at Donnellson. Harman Marsh,
the man in question, 1t is said, while
he was known to be eccentric, had
never shown signs of mental unbal-
ance prior to today. The town mar
shall, when he took him in custody,
had difficulty in taking him to the
town lookup. He will be brought into
the city this afternoon and will be
taken before the insane commission
for examination.
Considerable excitement was arous-
ed over the call and after the story
had been told time or two the tell
ers had the man raving maniac,
which 1t was necessary to take des-
perate means to subdue.
Mr.. Marsh has no relatives In Don
Nelson thought it is though that he
has kin in the county. He has lived
in Donnellson for number OF years
and has always been an enigma to the
Inhabitants. He has been an intermit
