Farmers Company
Buys Wahoo Mills

Fremont, Ncb., Dec. 22.7(Special. }
The Wahoo mills, erected and
equipped ten years ago at a cost OF
$4,000, were sold at auction to sat
isfy creditors for $1,000. The property
was bid in for the Farmers Co-opera-
tive company, which will operate the
plant. For over year the mills had
been idle, the late c. L. Milenz having
been forced to stop operations owing
to lack Of funds in July, 1915. Claims
against the property amount to $23,-
600. 1t is estimated that it would cost
S35,000 to replace the mills.

pounds from first year paintings to
quent years. The average price of
thymOl for a number of years prior to
the European war was about 50 a
pound.
The cost of producing the thymOl
will depend to great measure upon
whether the hOrsemint is grown in
connection with other Oil-yielding
plants for which a distilling appara-
tus is maintained. Unless this Is
done, it is said, it is not probable
that the profits will be sufficient to
warrant anyone engaging in the in
dustry. Excluding such items as land
rent, taxes. depreciation, upkeep and
interest on the distilling plant, it Is
estimated that thymOl can be pro-
duced at an approximate cost Of $23
per acre the first year, and $40 per
acre thereafter. These figures include
the growing Of the plants, fertiliZa-
ton. cultivation. harvesting and dis
filling. A plantation of hOrsemint

Seals Can Drown.

1t is curious fact that the fur seal
was once n land animal. The baby
seals are actually afraid of water ;
they would drown if thrown into it,
and have to learn to swim by repeated
efforts. When once they have been
taught to swim, however, they soon
forget 20 walk.
There are in existence only two i'm ?
portant herds of fur seals, one of
which has IT'S breeding ground in the
Commander islands. belonging to Rus
STA. the other in the PribiIof islands
belonging 20 the United States. o.
these the latter is much the larger.
The Pribilof islands are government
property. and thus it happens that the
United States government finds itself
the owner of by far the most valuable
herd of fur seals ia the world.

these sales a wholesale clearance OF

cialists, as they do not care to carry

and because the prices are tempting
and the clothes suit the fashions OF
the hour, there are hundreds of women
who take advantage of these bargains
and buy costumes that they think will
give them good service when the first

The process Of buying good clothes
at reduced rates at this season is one
that appeals to the economist, and on

is one of the most hazardous expert

1t is one of those instances In which

will present such pitiable contrast to

The production of thymOl from
hOrsemint may be, under favorable
circumstances, a profitable CONNER
cial undertaking. according to a re-
cent publication of the United States
department of agriculture, Bulletin
372. ThymOl. which is extensively
used I'm medicine, was formerly i'm
it is manufactured from seed grown
in northern India. The European
war, however, has reduced the impOr-
tatiOns of this substance from $4,000
pounds i'm 1914 to little more than
1000 in 1915. To make up this deficit
1T is believed that thymol might be
manufactured from improved horse
mint plants with which the depart
ment of agriculture has been expert
menting for some time.
HOrsemint is found wild on light
sandy soils over the entire region
from southern New York to Florida,
and westward to Wisconsin, Kansas
and Texas, and it Is probable that it
will thrive under cultivation over the
same area. From 20 to 80 pounds of
oil per acre should be obtained from
a planting, according to the investiga-
tons of the department. and little
less than 20 per cent of this oil will
be thymol. The yield of thymOl per
acre of hOrsemint. therefore. is esti-
mated at from a little less than 13

ENEMIES OF. alfalfa PLANT
Not Worth While for Farmer to Waste
Expensive Seed on Sour or
Alkaline Soils.

Sour soil and alkali are enemies of
alfalfa. Most sour soils are sandy
soils where the drainage is too good
and the lime has been leached out.
They can be sweetened by adding
ground limestone where this process
is not too expensive and teaching les
sened by Incorporating plenty Of hui
mus in the soil. This can be done by
applying stable manure or blowing un-
der green manure in the form Of grow
ing crops, etc.
Alkali soils usually are badly drained
and can be corrected by supplying this
factor. 1t is not worth while to waste
alfalfa seed on sour or alkaline soils.
If they cannot be corrected, raise some
other crop.
