made OF aluminium and weighing IA

officer, r. B. Adams Of Missoula. Mont,
will be part of the regular equipment
of patrolmen on the national forests
the coming field season. This instru-
ment is regarded as great improve

weighed ten pounds.

piece Of heavy wire to make the

miles Of forest service telephone lines

To talk, one end of the emergency
wire is thrown over the telephone line,
the two ends are connected to the
portable instrument, and the instru-
ment is connected to the ground wire.
the end Of which must be thrust into
the damp earth or in water. Contact
with the live wire is made possible by
removal of the insulation from few
inches of the emergency wire.
The Adams instrument does not
ring the bell of the receiving tele-
phone, but instead causes screech-
ing sound from q small megaphone-
shaped apparatus descriptively known
as "howler." This instrument is In
stalled at the ranger station telephone
and is said to give effective notice that
someone Is on the wire. II the field
man needs to talk with someone else
where on the line, the ranger station
instrument can be used to ring up the
person wanted, when the conversation
can be carried on.
Forest officers say that these port
able phones are especially valuable in
reporting fires and other emergencies
with the least possible delay, and also
in sending instructions to fieldmen
and keeping the district rangers In
formed as to the progress Of work go
ing on in the field, thus supplementing
the regular telephone sets installed
at lookout points, ranger stations, and
at convenient intervals along forest

to feed good COW, provided there Is
a pasture. If there Is only a very
small pasture the farmer may plant
soiling crops and thus keep cow
very economically.
The dairy cows under reasonable
conditions will save nearly or quite
half of the expenses Of small fam
lily. Where one must run store ac-
count such bills may be cut in half
by good cow.
Since we are to feed ourselves this
year instead of the cotton specula-
tors, why not invest in at least enough
cows to supply she family table with
ali the milk and butter that can be
used?
Most farmers could well afford to
raise few heifers every year. There
Is very little difficulty in selling good
cows. With a silo, few acres in
permanent pasture and crops for graz
ing at times when the permanent pass
ture and the silo may not be sufH-
cient, will cost very little to raise
two or three heifers every year.
Try 1t. Use some Of the acreage
In raising calves and maintaining
cows.

Increases Are General Through
out Country, Says Fed

Estimates Based Upon Reports From
Crop Reporters Show Few Ex-
ceptIons In General Upward
Trend In Rural Districts.

Washington.-The value of farm
lands of the United States, without Inn.
provements, is estimated at $45.55 per
acre, as compared with $40.85 year
ago, $40.31 two years ago, $3.50 three
years ago, and $36.23 four years ago
The census reported the value of farm
lands in 1910 as $32.40, and in 1900 as
$15.57 per acre.
In recent years the value of farm
lands has been increasing at the rate
of about 5 per cent a year, Or approx
mately 81 per acre per year. The ex
ceptional increase of the past year
may be explained partly by the reac
ton IN the Southern cotton states fol
lowing a temporary depression last
year, and partly by the stimulus given
by the war to prices, particularly OF
grain.
Increases have been general
throughout the United States, the only
noteworthy exceptions being orchard
lands and some irrigated lands in the
Northwest, which apparently had been
overvalued before.
The percentage increases in value
of farm lands in the past year by sec
lions of the United States are: North
Atlantic states, 10 per cent; eastern
part Of north central states, 8 per
cent; western part of north central
states, II per cent; South Atlantic
states, 10 per cent; south central
states, II per cent; far Western states,
IL per cent; entire United States. lib
per cent.
The percentage increases in farm
land values in four years. that Is,
since 1912, are; North Atlantic states,
II per cent; eastern part OF north CEN
trail states, 20 per cent; western part
of north central states, % per cent;
South Atlantic states, % per cent;
south central states, rs per cent; far
Western states, "a per cent; entire
United States, 25.7 per cent.
These estimates are based upon re-
ports from crop reporters of the bu-
reau of crop estimates.

More farmers, it is Beloved, would
find it profitable to raise in addition
to hogs enough for bacon, few pigs,
calves. lambs and kids for fresh meat
during the year. There is no reason
why the farmers family should be de-
nrived Of fresh meat when animals
can be raised for this purpose on the
farm. This will require pasture crops
and feed, but that is what farms are
for. What law Is there to require q

EARLY MATCHING PAYS BEST
Farmer Loses Much Profit on Eggs by
Not Giving Young Stock Stuff
cient Time to Mature.

{By PROF. n. L. KEMPsTER. Univer-
sity OF Missouri, College of Agrfcui-
ture.)
The poultry keeper who expects to
get eggs next winter must have his
chickens hatch early this spring. It re-
quires from five to seven months for
three to FIVE pound hen to mature so
that she will lay. Then hen OF the
heavier breeds such as Rocks, Reds,
Wyandottes, etc., weighing from five
to eight pounds each require from one
to three months longer. This is based
on the assumption that the chicks are
kept growing well during the summer
months. The Missouri farmer loses
large profits from winter eggs because
he does not give his young stock suf-
ficient time to mature before winter
sets in. This prevents his flock be-
ing productive during the winter
months.
Unless pullet is laying in Deem
Der 1t Is practically impossible for her
to lay much until February, according
to experiments at the Missouri agri-
cultural station. This shows the neces-
sity of Matching early. If the hatch is
completed by May Is there remains
but seven months In which to mature
the pullets. II winter eggs are ex-
pected, the hatch should be completed
before that time. Egg records show
that early laying pullets-November
and December-are the ones that
make the high egg yields and also lay
eggs at the time of the year when
the price is the highest.
Early Matching is important not
only from the standpoint Of next years
winter egg yield but also because the
early Matched chick comes from
stronger eggs. and the chicks get
start before the extreme hot weather
arrives. For those two reasons the
poultrykeeper should exert every en-
ergy to get OFF the hatch as soon as
possible.
