W IN many persons get careless with

ThIs is a grave oversight. and it viii be

your youngsters gone. Rats, opossoms,
weasels. dogs, and other animals do
much harm to young chicks, and to
avoid their carrying off or killing them
all, openings should be securely covered
at night. This can be done by the use
of fine poultry wire.

found IN a case Of illness recently re.
ported after eating some warmed-ur

food-creamed chicken, or custard or
warm vegetables. for example-are ex-
celient culture mediums for bacteria
which may have been introduced into
them by accident. For this reason il is
sa1e rule to have as short a time as
possible intervene between the prepara-
ton Of food and its consumption. Broth
Is another excellent medium and in CON
sequence should be drained off if it is
intended to keep the meat for anv length

should be kept in a clean. cool place in

however, that it be dipped in a large
body OF boiling water. If only small
amount of water is used, the introduc-

process becomes worthless. With such
meats as veal or pork, which are always
or ought to be-thoroughly done, the
precautlOn can be carried further and
the joints partially cooked before being
stored away. Care should be taken,
however, to see that the recooking is
thoroughly done.
Hot weather also calls for additional
precautions on the part of the house
wife in regard to canned products.
Once these have been opened and ex-
posed to the air they spoil as quickly,
if not more quickly, than fresh food.
The contents of can should therefore
be disposed of without delay. In no
event should they be left in the can
after it has been opened but should be
used at once unless the housekeeper
wishes to air" the canned material.

FREE PORTS
BUILDERS IF
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRO-
PRiATIONS.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products OF farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land We lead the world bat our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. If
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce OF the sea, foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article viii be confined TO
discussion Of Jour ports for the pro-
ducts Of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports. of which
IL are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $5i,0d0,-
600 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise leviea
a toll of approximately $50,000.000
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted of
the backs OF the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions In commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is SO
heavily laden with results or Will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that of a free port
and none can be more easily and eff
fectiyely secured.

DARIUS

The neigh of horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method OF
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
II our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh of a horse, the
bark of dog or the bray of donkey,
it would be a great blessing and would
give our citizens better opportunity
to pursue the vocations Of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping in the blood of industry I'M
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into a political arena and
by a clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the pillow
and that their quarrels must be settled
in the back alleys of civilization.

THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
OF agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved. for market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational inzti-
tutions have spent SlS0,000,000 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem Is monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp Of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. 1t is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing, but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
of the other. We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and COM
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side of our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-
featuring by over-production of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load
ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul.
ture by Cutting the market with a
surplus of products.

THE OLD WIFE.

She's dead and am old!
We started in at school the self-same
day,
She sat behind me and We met at play,
| offered her an apple, smooth and talr,
And sealed our childish friendship then
and there!
Her ewes were like the blue of morning
skies,
Her cheeks were two twin roses in dis
guise,
Her hair hung down her back like ripen-
ed corn
And put the glancing sunbeams all to
ScOrn.
And now she's dead and am am old!
When on her head her golden bralds
were piled
Like rare crown, and when no longer
child,
But woman grown, she laid her hand in
mine
And kissed me with her lips red-warm
like wine,
And on her finger sparkled like dew
The ring that meant betrethal to US two,
In all the world no happier beings were,
Her iov was all cf me and mine of her,
And now she's dead and am old!
And when We stood above the new-made
grave
Of our dead child, she trying to be brave,
And all the time her heart was breaking,
too,
Yet still she sad, My husband, have
you
And smiled up through her tears. and |
the while
Saddened less by her weeping than her
smile,
Kissed all her tears away and told her |
Would love her more for him wno had
to die.
And now she's dead and am old!
We've been so poor, SO poor you couldn't
guess,
And yet it could not dim our happiness!
She said: The singing Of yon pretty
bird
Is sweeter than the artists have heard;
And would rather sit beneath the blue
And watch the golden sunshine shifting
through
The branches of the trees with you, my
dear,
Than in palace be and you not near!''
And now she's dead and am old!
1t was but yesterday we sat together,
But yesterday, and it was wintry
weather,
! told her like the apples lying there
Russet-a little wrinkled-but so fair
Were her dear cheeks. Turning, she
smiled at me.

Piles are,
And she-she smiles behind star!
