Much has been said about the enormous sum
invested In the liquor business. Whist IS ths
ratio OF wages pail the workers to the amount
OF capital invested in this business as CON-
pared with each of the industries noted abovea
Here are the figures:
Liquor, 90 per cent; textiles. 2S.9 per cent;
iron, 176 per cent lumber I'll per ceuF
leather, 23.5 per cent and paper, 21S per cent.
A quick glance at these figures shows no"
little, comparatively, the laboring man gets out
Of the large investments In the liquor business.
1t is almost impossible 70 state accurately
how much is annually spent in the United
States for Intoxicating liquor. AS stated,
conservative figure is 81 500 600. AS nearly
as can be estimated It is probably true that
we also spend $1,000, 100000 for bread and
clothing What would happen If the liquor IN
dustry should be destroyed, and the money now
spent for liquor should be spent for bread and
clothing?

Sulphur-Soda Spray
Inquiries Answered

THE Agricultural Experiment Sta
! tion at Pullman is overwhelmed
with inquiries concerning new
form Of spray material widely ad-
vertised to replace snlphur-lime. DR..
"A. l.. Melander, entomolOgist of the
station, presents the following state
ment about these preparations.
Sulphur-soda preparations are not
new, although in their dry form they
have not been long on the market.
Ten years ago the Oregon Station
passed judgment on one of them as
mot at all efficient" At the same
time the Virginia Station, using a
sulphur-soda at double strength, de-
cided 1t to be fairly effective, but
expensive.
In 1913 this station tried in linz
tied way some dry sulphur-soda at
Charleston and at Prosser. Compared
with sulphur-lime the results were
promising, but the next year the tests
were repeated at Clarkston, Walla
Walla, Sunnyside and North Yakima.
In each case the snlphur-soda did not
prove so efficient as the sulphur
lime.
Both sprays were used at the rate
of 80 pounds of solids to the 100
gallons, which is so per cent stronger
than the manufacturers recommend
for sulphur-soda and nearly so per
cent weaker than the customary
usage of sulphur-lime. In the case
of the sulphur-lime this amounted
to a dilution of one to IA, which is
nearly twice as strong as the weakest
spray that will kill scale.
Unsprayed check scales would av-
erage 80 per cent alive at the same
time, and in each case the heavy oil
sprays produced complete control.
There is no evidence to show that
sulphur in the form OF sulphur-soda
is twice as efficient as in the form
of sulphur-lime. However, dealers
in dry sulphur-soda preparations
claim that 100-pound drum of this
material is equal to a 600-pound
barrel of sulphur-lime. The efficien-
cy OF sulphide sprays is universally
believed to depend on the amount
of polysulphide sulphur present.
A 50-gallon barrel Of standard
sulphur-lime contains in solution
about S. pounds of lime and 1875
pounds Of actual sulphur, Of which
100 pounds are In the form Of poly
sulphide sulphur-practically 200
pounds Of solids dissolved in 800
pounds of water. The slogan, why
pay freight on 500 pounds of water?'
is therefore misleading. A drum Of
dry sulphur-soda contains about GA
pounds OF actual sulphur, of which
43 pounds alone have insecticdal
value.
/ The remaining sulphur is combined
in the form of sodium thiOsulphate,
which Is the familiar substance
known to photographers as "hypo," "
which has no killing properties, and
which makes up practically half the
weight of the sulphur-soda compound.
Based on polysulphide sulphur, there
fore, a drum of sulphur-soda should
sell at $3.50 to compare with bar
rel Of sulphur-lime at $40.

Care of Chicks in the Breeders

tne DrOOCer, as tney are Dy uay. III
a little chick runs under the hover
and finds a cozy, warm spot, he will
snuggle up for nap; if 1t is cold,
he does not stay, reasoning that a
half dozen others will drop in to
help him heat up the place; instead,
he runs out crying that it is cold,
cold world, and misses the much
needed nap. The first three days Of
the chicks life his greatest need is
for even, comfortable temperature
and plenty of sleep.
The statement that no brooder
thermometer is needed as one can
readily tell whether the chicks are
comfortable by looking at them, is
helpful, l think, where 1t is not
needed-that is to the experienced
chicken raiser. The inexperienced
may be easily misled. The first
bunch of brooder babies ever raised
looked comfortable to me at night
when they were laying all spread out
flat with their little heads stretched
out from under the hover.
For several nights l tip-toed away
content at the sight of their perfect
comfort; then some happy chance,
| forget what, caused me one night to
|put my hand under the hover just
over their backs. 1t came back damp
with the steam of those over-heated
little sufferers.
Looking Comfortable"
Now when l wish to see whether
or not my chicks look comfortable, >
| I raise the hover and look at the
underneath side for dampness. put
my hand among the chicks to de-
termine whether they are being weak
ened by night sweat. look at the
chicks for dropping wings in the
morning and lastly look at my ther'
mometer Being satisfied by all these
Etests, the chicks look comfortable
to me, IL they are piled pretty wei
together, a little apart from the
source Of heat, but not huddled OF
punched, and sleeping soundly, no
ready to waken and crowd at the
slightest disturbance.
There Is one feature by which t.
condemn any brooder, and that /!
lack of ventilation. Personally an
fond Of most sorts Of preserves, but

served air and odors. insist upon ;
brooder which provides for coplou
intake of fresh air, which canno
possibly contain any fumes from tn,

LIVELY TIMES AHEAD

When Congress meets in December
II will be confronted with many pug
King problems entailing an amount
OF work that will require great dill.
gence to get away with. The Washing
ton Star picks out four questions
which it believes will give Congress
the most trouble. They are. the ma
uonal defense. votes for women. pro
hibition and additional revenue. Il
is yet problematical how strong the
administration will be for defense.
The sentiment for preparedness has
been growing in the Democratic party.
II is true. but a strong opposition has
also been developing. led by peace-at-
any-price Bryan. He is bound to be
OF more trouble to the administration
forces than OF help.
The women were not at all disheart.
ened by the rebuffs from the former
Congress. They have been buster than
ever In reforming their lines. and now
profess TO have over two hundred votes
in the new House pledged to the
cause. President Wilson has not yet
declared his position. but il is known
TO those in his confidence that he Is
in favor Of RELOCATING this matter to
the States themselves. The women
are likely to make a better fight this
time, but not a winning one. The
dictum of Henry Watterson. that no
Democrat can be a prohibitionist." is
wholly relative. There are an in
creased number OF Democrats in the
new House who are favorable to ma
tional prohibition. II. like the suf
frage cause, is a growing one. but Il
has by no means reached effective
maturity. The question will make
trouble. but II will not win out.
The revenue problem will be a
stumper. The deficient sources OF
supply are more than apparent. and
the increased demands are obvious.
There are three courses open: In.
creased and new taxes. bond issues
or higher tariff rates and suspension
Of many free list schedules. Here Is
where the big fight will be made. and
II promises to create many divisions
within the councils OF the party.
