that it Is an injustice. 1t is, and the
only way to overcome it is by ADyER-
TISING.
Visit to Country. Town.
= Merchants should publish a conn
parison of their prices with those OF
the retail catalogue housesr-dght them
with their own weapons. While visit
ing a country town recently the writer
made some Investigations and discov-
cries. For example, a Chicago mail
order house was. selling 100 pound
grindstones mounted for 1910. The
local merchant sold the same article
for 1925: freight from Chicago, 55
cents. making the mail order article
cost 1886: seam roofing, $2.S5 in Chi
cago and $3.50 from the local mer-
chant, freight Is cents per square to
be added to the s2.S5, making it $3 de-
nvered: washing machines. 1886
against $3.75, freight IS cents to be
added to the 1886. These are facts
which every merchant can prove and
keep right on, proving all the time.
Cash at Home Too.
Local merchants will quote prices on
goods SO low that catalouge and mail
order houses cannot duplicate them.
But YOU must pay cash. Mail order
houses demand the cash in advance.
Why not pay the local merchant in ad-
vance? Besides. when you. buy from
a catalogue you. send your money
away from your home town. You buy
fromta picture and wait week or
ten days for the goods to arrive; then
you open up your prize box to see
what you really have drawn In the
lottery and what you have to show
for your money. If you have drawn
one of their "baits'' you tell your
neighbors and friends about it-in fact,
you will tell every one about it. If
you find. as is usually the case. that
you were "stung'' you say nothing
about it: your lips are sealed as tight
as death.

The requirements of a good dairy
barn are: 1. Suitable and convenient
location. 2! Adequate shelter and com
Portable quarters for stock. 8. Special
storage room for feed. A.. Sanitary
construction and good ventilation,
such as would be required in any
other factory of human food. 5. Con-
venient arrangements requiring the
minimum AMOUNT Of labor to do the
necessary work of feeding and clean
ing.
II is advisable to have a separate
milking house and also that no other
animals. hogs especially, be stabbed in
or near the dairy barn.
Locate the dairy barns, If possible,
on high, well-drained ground, so as
to admit of perfect drainage, both on
the surface and for such underground
drains as may be necessary. Locate
where there can be a good supply of
lots for cows, calves, herd bulls, ETC.,
convenient to the barn, and where
the lots will also be well drained.
In feeding, handling and caring for
live stock much time may be wasted
by unhandy, awkward arrangements.
Haymows and feed rooms should be
where the feed can be fed easily. 1t
is not considered a good plan. how
ever, to have a hay loft above a dairy
stable unless a dust-proof floor is put
in.
More than half of the work of keep
ing a stable clean and sanitary may
be accomplished before a single ami
NAL is put in by building floors, man.

they a be readily washed, swept or

CROPS FOR SUMMER SolLlNG
Oats and Canada Field Peas Are Best
to Follow Clover-Rieht Amount
to Feed Cows.

In his bulletin on green crops for
summer soiling j. B. Lindsey of the
Massachusetts station says that oats
and Canada field peas make the best
green crop to follow clover. Generally
1t is advisable to make three grow
ings, the first as early as possible in the
spring, the second and third Is and 80
days later.
One and one-half bushels of each of
the oats and peas is the usual guam
tity to the acre. They both may be
sown broadcast at the same time after
the land is plowed and thoroughly
narrowed in with a wheel harrow, or
the peas may be first sown and four
or five days later the oats, the latter
being covered with a harrow. The
first sowing will be ready about June
rs, and the cutting should begin as
soon as the oats show the head. =
The average yield from the second
and third sowings is likely to be
heavy, as the crop natures more
quickly during the warm weather.
Oats and peas will remain in condi-
ton to cut for ten or twelve days. The
average COW will consume from fifty
to eighty pounds daily until that feed
becomes tough. One-third of an acre
will generally furnish ten cows with
sufficient green feed twelve days. This
is figured on a basis of from forty to
fifty pounds per day in the case of
| average sized COWS. with ten pounds
of hay.
Professor Lindsey does not consider
it wise to feed more than this amount
of coarse green feeds daily, for the
reason that an excess produces an ex-
ceedingly laxative condition of the
bowels. Animals fed in excess of fifty
pounds are likely to become notice
ably thin in flesh. In addition to the
hay and green fodder, he believes it
will usually prove economical to feed
from four to seven quarts of grain
mixture composed of n t~wenty-fifth
part of bran and one part of -four mid.
dlings and gluten feed.

disinfected. Concrete is not only more
permanent, and therefore cheaper for
the floors of a stable, but it is much
more clearly. Everyone cannot af-
ford to have stall partitions and
stanchion frames made of steel or iron
pipe, but if wood must be used, they
should be simply and plainly built to
afford as little room as possible for
dust and dirt to collect. Walls and
ceilings should also be made smooth
on the inside. They will be much cas-
Ter to whitewash, cobwebs will no be
so likely to collect or so difficult to
remove A stable should be disinfect-
ed and whitewashed each year.
Plenty of light and fresh air should
be provided by putting in large win
dows on either side of the barn. Ii
the stable faces east and west, the
sun should shine in on every part Of
the stable during each day. These
windows may be hinged at the bottom
and swung inward so that plenty OF
fresh air can get in without letting
a draft on the COWS. A good plan is
to remove a few windows in winter
and put canvas across the opening.
Enough air goes through without caus-
ing any direct draft on the cattle.
Years ago Prof. l. P. Roberts ad-
vocated having a large closed shed
adjoining the milking stable into
which the cows could be turned at
night in winter. With the cows de-
horned, the shed well bedded and a
water trough put in, the COWS had
practically all the freedom and com
fort they could have outdoors in sum
mertime. The plan, while practicable,
has not been generally adoIted.

Our GfrIA

To bring up a girl in absolute de-
pendence, goor-for-nothing. selfish in
her aims and exacting in her demands,
Is a sin against her and against soci-
ETY.. To begin at her birth and econo-
mize and retrench in every department
for the accumulation of money in order
that this monstrous perversion of her
life may be accomplished and main
tanned is grotesque and h~eathenish.
Girls thus trained will fail to attain a
high order of womanhood. Their aims
will be petty, their ideals low, and
nothing satisfactory can be expected
of them in wifehood II motherhood.
While we carefully guard whatever is
womanly in our daughters, let them be
trained to more fiber and flrmness.
Educate them to self-denial, if pecuni-
airy circumstances demand it, and not
to self-indulgence. ACQUISITION them to
be of service in the household, to re
gard economy as ~praiseworthy and
even heroic, and to add to their ac-
complishments a practical knowledge
of work, and the possession of some
lucrative vocation or industry by which
they can support themselves. Such
girls, when ~portionless, will carry to
their husbands dowries in themselves.

"DELlcACIES" AT THE FRONT


A Native Indian writer. n NJ. Mira,
In q letter to an English newspaper.
tells OF the kind of delicacies that the
British Indian troops at the front par.
ticulariy enjoy. The principal things
are ghee, areca nut, betel and Indian
tobacco.
To English readers, says the Man.
chester Guardian, ghee will be the
most mysterious Of these commodi
ties. It is a kind OF clarified butter,
made from curdled milk--in India
usually from buffalo milk. The
curdled milk Is churned into butter;
then the butter stands for a few days
until 1t begins to turn rancid. Then
II Is boiled. and seasoned with dhye-
whatever that is-salt or the leaf Of
the betel, which is q kind Of pepper
plant. Indians like 1t, but Europeans
seldom do, because 1t is SO ripe" that
1t Is virtually rancid.
As most people know. the Hindus
use the areca nut as a kind Of chew
Ing gum. They chew 1t with betel
leaf and a little shell lime. The nut
Is astringent and bitter, but 1t does
not seem to have any particular effect
on the user. The betel leaf adds .
peppery flavor to the combination.

KILL CROP PESTS
In EARLY SPRING
Plans for Eradication of Corn
stalk Borer, Chinch Bug and
Other Insects.

Cornstalk Borer-Plowing under and
burning stubble.
Cornroot Worm-Crops should be
rotated with oats and other crops.
Army or Cotton Caterpillar-After
cotton has been gathered in winter
the field should be burned over, and
if the worms appear the following
year paris green should be used lib
orally.
Cutworm-If the land is thorough
ly broken prior to a cold spell and al
lowed to freeze it will serve to de-
stroy many of the eggs and larvae of
the worm in the ground. land infest-
ed should be planted very thicAiy and
thinned to a stand after the cutworms
have had their share.
Chinch Bug-This bug spends the
winter months in the thickets and
wild grass areas of the field and comes
out in early spring to do its devilment.
1t is therefore a good plan to burn
over all wild grass patches where the
bug is troublesome, and when he
makes his appearance spray with paris
green.

MIXING INCUBATOR
EGGS WITH FRESH
Farmer Who INDUCES in Practice
Is Quite Liable to Iniure
His Own Market.

A number of poultry ~raisers have
been in the habit of putting on the
market i~nfertile eggs that have been
tested In incubators from three days
to a week. AS soon as the breeder
finds that the eggs will not hatch he
takes them out and sends them to
market along with his fresh spring
eggs. After the eggs have been in the
incubator for this period they are dis
tinctly stale and rot very quickly if
kept any length of time. Even when
just taken from the incubator these
infertile eggs are not fit for boiling
or poaching. although they may be
used for frying, and are good for cake
or certain other baked foods. These
eggs when they reach the market,
however, are classified as low grade
No. 2.
The mixing of incubator eggs with
fresh spring eggs leads the egg pack
ers, who get their principal cold stor-
age supply in the spring, to cut the
price they pay the farmer. The spring
eggs designed for keeping for winter
consumption must be absolutely good
Moreover, the egg packers in the
spring do not candle eggs but hold
them three at a time in the hand and
clink them to discover n crack and
then Judge their freshness by their
fresh powdery look on the shell. The
mixture Of infertile incubator eggs
with fresh eggs interferes seriously
with this clinking and forces the pack
er to candle the eggs. He then deducts
this added expense from the price he
offers to the producer. Eggs which
have NICE been subjected to the heat
Of the incubator cannot be stored,
even though frozen.
The farmer who sells incubator eggs
to the dealer, therefore, is very liable
to injure his own market for fresh
eggs. When dealers find a percentage
Of low grade incubator or other eggs
in their fresh spring egg supply they
lower the price for all eggs so that
they will be certain that they have
covered themselves against losses
from this cause. The departments
specialists advise farmers to use any
infertile eggs they may take from their
incubators for home consumption and
to send only fresh eggs to market,

TO KEEP THE RABBITS AWAY
Newspapers Securely Wrapped AROUND
Trees Will Afford Ample Pro-
lection From Animals.
CBy A. j. LEGG.l

A few years ago | set out some
young apple trees and before I knew
it the rabbits had peeled several OF
them so badly that they died.
I went into the field with the gun
and could see five or six rabbits at
a time disappearing at the far side
of the field.
1t was useless to undertake to de
fend the trees with the gun SO l pro
cured some old newspapers and a ball
of Irvine.
l wrapped the trees with paper as
far up the bodies of the trees as rab
bits could reach and tied them secure,
ly with twine.
The paper stayed on the trees all
right for the remainder of the winter
and the trees were not damaged any
more by rabbits.
This planned worked well for small
trees.

BENEFICIAL ON SANDY SOILS
When Used Properly, the Roller Is
One of the Most important of
All Tillage Implements.
CBy F. S. sEIvERs.)

The capillary water that rises from
the subsurface reaches the highest
mark in soils that are fine grained
and consequently we find that in the
dry part Of the summer when plants
are dependent upon capillarity for their
water supply, coarse-grained sands
become very dry. If these soils could
be pressed together so that the air
space between the separate grains
would become smaller, the capillary
water would rise higher. Here the
roller may be used to advantage. It
should follow the seeding of small
grain and especially clover. to get
,he soil in closer contact with the
seed as well as to supply moisture
from below.
There is another factor that enters
and tends to counteract the good eff
fects of rolling. The smooth sur
face produced will offer less resistance
to the wind and consequently the sand

will blow and evaporation will go on
more rapidly. This may be prevented
by following the roller Immediately
with a light harrow. The roughened
surface lessons the blowing of sand,
and also forms a dust mulch which
retards evaporation as well.
II the corrugated roller or clod
crusher is used, the harrow is not
needed because this roller itself
leaves the surface in a decidedly
ridged condition. The effect of COM
pacting sand soils can best be seer
by the increase in termination of
grain, wherefore a wagon was driven
over the field after seeding. If used
properly, the roller is n of the most
important of all farm tillage imple-
ments.

counterpart of the Baltimore oriole,
taking the place of that species west
of the plains aad throughout the Pa.
cifc coast region. 1t does not essen
TALLY differ in it's habits of eating or
in its food from it's eastern relative,
but it is less beautiful in p1umage.
The examination of 162 stomachs
shows that 70 per cent of its food con-
sists of insects, with a few spiders, a
lizard, a mollusk shell and eggshells.
One of the most interesting articles of
food in the orioles dietary was the
black olive scale, found in As stom-
achs, and amounting to 5 per cent of
the food. In several cases these scales
formed 80 per cent or more of the
contents, and in one, 80 individual
scales could be counted. They were
evidently a standard article of diet,
and were eaten regularly in every
month of the orioles stay except April
The same family of insects other than
scales, eaten quite regularly, make up
a little more than 5 per cent of the
food. They were mostly stinkbugs,
lOdl uOppSIS duu Tree RANT
lice were found in one stomach.
Moths, pupae and caterpillars com
pose the largest item of the orioles
animal food. The average .consump-
ton during it's summer stay is a little
more than Al per cent, Of these, per
haps the most interesting we're the
pupae and larvae of the codling moth.
-,
These were found in % stomachs,
showing that they are not an unusual
article of diet. No less than Ia of the
pupa cases were found in one stom-
ach, and as they are very fragile many
others may have been present, but
broken beyond recognition.
The vegetable contingent of the orr
ole's food is mostly fruit, especially in
June and July, when it takes kindly
to cherries and %apricots, and some
times eats more than the fruit grower
considers a fair share. However, no
great complaint is made against the
bird, and it is probable that as a rule
it does not do serious harm. With such
a good record as an insect eater it can
well be spared a few cherries.
