preparation of human food while
the same kind of adulteration of
cattle food is followed by prose-
cution.
Properly to understand the mean
ing of the phrase "our daily food, we
must first discover how the food faker
works: what he accomplishes; why
he does it, and how to put an end to
his abuses.
His greatest temptation to juggle
with his product is inspired by the
people themselves. The subject of
insu fficient wage or industrial injus-
tice is not going to creep into this dis
cussion, but in passing it must be said
that in scanty incomes is frequently
born the false standard of judgment
which attributes an artificial value to
bulk, overlooking substance and
quality; overlooking the industry that
deals in little white caskets. In fool
ish and desperate competition, which
inspires fraud, this false standard is
confirmed.
People want a lot for their money.
Women are attracted by large"
packages or Cheap" packages. The
bargain" makes an extraordinary ap-
peal. When the size and the price
look right few questions are asked.
People are prone to accept even the
shape of the package as evidence that
its contents are all that they ought
to be.
No questions are asked as to
whether it's contents will feed the
fires of life or whether they will
slowly, insidiously, stealthily burrow
into the living temple to destroy it.
To gain some trade advantage over
competitor the food faker must
make his first and strongest appeal
to the eye. If he can produce a
larger" product or a "prettier" prod
uct or cheaper" product. the means
by which this empty object is accom-
plished is not considered.
Thus begins the work of putting,
bulking, filling. extending. Then fol-
lows the trick of giving to the bulk

cleverly masks it against discovery.
At this point deception must be braced
with added flavor. manufactured in
the laboratory. The innocent and
harmless" mass is kept from rotting
by the use of legalized preservatives.
There are five chief evils recorded
against the food faker The first four
can be named the filler evil. the color
evil, the flavor evil, and the preserva-
tive evil. The fifth and most insidfous
evil of them all, which you are not
yet prepared to confront, but which
will be treated in due time and in its
proper place, is responsible for ten

AVERAGE COST OF FLOWING
Estimated that It Requires Approx
mateIy Ten HORSEPOWER Hours
to Turn Acre Of Land.

1t has been estimated that 1t re
quires approximately ten horsepower
hours to turn an acre of land. When
the team goes at good speed one
pillow will turn about two acres In ten
hours. This will require that the
horses travel 176 feet per minute and
exert a continuous pull of 376 pounds
or 1875 pounds per horse.
According to statistics compiled by
the government horse labor cost 121S
cents per hour. At this rate ten hours
work will cost SIPS, which may be
said to be the average horse cost OF
blowing an acre.
The cost of blowing an acre with a
tractor depends upon many factors,
One must consider the size Of the
tractor, fuel used, condition of the
ground, etc. One example is given of
an S-16 tractor burning from Is to 20
gallons of low grade kerosene per day
of ten hours, one gallon of lubrlcating
oil, at a cost of $1.65 for hours work.
Two 14-inch plows, travelling 20 miles
day, plowed SO acres at cost of
80 cents an acre.

SMALL FARMS FOR THE EAST
Ranches Of 900 Acres or More Not
Desirable for Thiekly Settled
States Of Union.

The farm Of 600 or more acres de-
voted to one or two crops, may be
best for the great grain-growing and
grazing states of the West, but it is
not desirable in the thickly settled
communities of the middle and east
ern states. The tendency in some Of
the states for the corporation owner
ship Of farmhands to compete with
industrial progress In other lines of
commercial activity is back Of this
movement.
With the advent of the large farm
worked by hired labor, the farm home
disappears, farm life, community in
terest, churches, schools and rural ad-
vancement is lost, says a writer In
the Baltimore American. We have in
its place a big system, which may be
profitable from money point of view,
but which will ultimately result In
financial loss to the owners, and an
injury to the best interests of the COM
munity and state. This leads to I'M
rest, and a divided community. The
small farm with its quiet, comfort
able home and conveniently arranged
buildings, cultivated by the owner and
his family, makes live, intelligent,
thrifty community. When a man owns
his home he takes more interest in
his state and nation and becomes a
patriot in the best sense of the word.

TREATMENT FOR MAIL WOUND
Take NO Chances, as LockIaw or Per-
manent Lameness May Result
Advice Of an Expert.

1t Is better to be safe than sorry
When horse steps on a nail take no
chances. Remove the nail as soon as
possible and thoroughly cleanse the
wound. When a horse limps investi-
gate the cause. This is the advice Of
David Gray, assistant In animal hus-
bandry in the Kansas state agricultural
college.
''The removal Of the nail can easily
be accomplished with an ordinary claw
hammer, small block Of wood being
used as fulcrum over which to pry,"
says Mr.. Gray, IF the nail is not too
large a pair Of pliers is suitable for
this work.
IF not cared for Immediately the
wound may cause lockjaw or perma-
nent lameness. For cleansing the
wound a syringe and warm water may
be used IL care is taken to cleanse
thoroughly. The best method is to APP
ply literally any coal-tar product, such
as creolin, as 1t is effective in breaking
up the infection. If a nail wound is
given immediate and careful attention
the life of horse is usually safe"

PLANS EOR FARM BUILDINGS
Landscape Architect Of Iowa State Col
leae Has Unique Scheme for Lo-
eating Structures.

Just as in a game of checkers, IL,
in your farmstead planning, you take
little time to look before you move,
it's going to save a lot Of regrets and
money later on, advises r. ]. Pearse,l
landscape architect with the agrlcul-
tural extension department at Iowa
state college. Mr.. Pearse has unique
scheme of laying out plans for locat-
ing new farm buildings.
In planning fall or winter building,
he says, make a plan of your farm
stead; measure up the existing build
ings, fences, drives, tanks and silOs
and locate them on a plan drawn to
scale, 20 feet on the ground repre-
sented by one inch on paper.
Next, cut out of pasteboard the plan
Of the buildings you want to build,
drawn to scale. Place these on the
plan of the present buildings and move
them about until their location salts
ties your conditions as well as possible.
Try different locations for the build
ings; ask yourself questions and al
ways locate with a definite reason in
mind.
1t is remarkable how many mistakes
can be remedied in this manner be-
fore they are made. Locating on a
plan also gives a bird's-eye view of the
whole place.

Kept Up in Cold Weather.
Dairyman Who Gets Best Results
Feeds Clover, Alfalfa or cowpea
Hay for Roughness-Inelude
Corn In Ration.
By c. H. ECKLEs, Missouri College Of
ACTfcf1lfura

By c. H. ECKLEs, Missouri College Of
Agriculture)
The best results with mich cows
demands that the milk flow be kept
up during the winter as well as dur
ing the remainder of the year. A herd
that is allowed to drop in this particu-
lar when winter comes on not only
lowers Its profit at that time, but is
hard to bring back when winter is
over. Reports received by the dairy
department Of the Missouri agriculture
al experiment station show that aver
age cows in the best-managed herds Of
the state often produce two or three
times as much butter during the year
as does the average dairy cow Of the
state. This difference results largely
from the fact that these herds continue
high in their milk production during
the winter.
A good milk dow results largely from
careful feeding, although shelter and
other phases of management are also
important. The man who is getting
poor results is usually feeding timothy
hay, corn fodder, and corn, and per-
haps not enough even of these. The
man who is getting good results has
learned that such a ration will not
enable a COW to produce milk enough
to make 1t profitable. 1t is not neces-
sary to buy large quantities Of expen-
sive feed to make good ration, as 1t
can all be grown on the farm. If the
proper ration is not at hand, however,
1t will usually pay to buy something
suitable, or possibly trade some of the
feeds ON hand for others which will
give better results.
Man Who Gets Results.
The man who gets good results with
cows feeds clover, alfalfa, or cow
pea hay for the roughness, takes care
that the cows have plenty of it, and, If
he has some corn fodder, feeds some

BEES WINTER IN SNOW
Chaff House of Some Kind Is
Strongly Recommended.
Nothing Better in Line Of Hives When
Used In Connection With sawdust
Cushions Over the Top Of the
Brood Chamber.
CIV 2. @. HERMAN.l

If the beekeeper tries to winter bees
on the summer stands, In any form OF
a hive or other than chaff or double
walled hive, 1t is my opinion that he
will lose more In the value Of bees
than the extra expense he would be at
In making ehaff hives of some kind.
l think that some sort Of hive that
could be used for summer advantage
should be used. This thing Of having
outside winter cases to set over the
hives is decidedly disadvantage in
many ways.
When winter is over they cannot be
used about the apiarV during the sum-
mer to any advantage whatever, but
the beekeeper must have house or
some other place provided for them
to keep them from the weather, or they
will be warped and weather-beaten
and will last but few years.
Hence, the construction of a sum
mer and winter chaff hive certainly
overcomes many of these objections.
After years Of experience with chaff
hives used in connection with sawdust
cushions over the top of the brood
chamber, l have become convinced that
there is nothing better along the line
of hives, for wintering bees on the
summer stands than this.

is my plan, and my bees winter nicely.

I'm selecting breeding stock, keep in

plies to the brood mare as we'll as the

as likely to appear In the colt as are
bad qualities possessed by the stall.
Hon. The influence Of the mare in the
transmission of qualities to the foal is,
as a rule, very much underestimate,
and sometimes entirely ignored. Tho
farmer who keeps worthless mares for
breeding will not be able to compete
with his nelghbor who keeps only the
best brood mares, even though they
both use the same stallion. The mare
has as much influence upon the colt
as the sire. Once in while you may
get very fine colt from an inferior
mare, but this is very rarely the case,
and no one can afford to breed horses
for this exceptional chance of getting
good one.
Burden of Improvement.
"The main burden of the improve

hay Of this class is fed, 1t is all right
to feed considerable quantity of corn
for grain.
The feeds which are generally fed
In this section may be divided into two
classes. The first includes those lack
ing in protein. They are used main
ly to produce fat and do not have pro-
TEN enough for milk production. In
this class we have corn, corn fodder,
timothy hay, straw, millet and sor-
ghum. The second class of feeds In
cludes those which contain more pro-
TEN to supply the food necessary to
produce milk. In this class we have
clover, cowpea and alfalfa hay, bran,
oats, cottonseed and linseed meal. A
good daily ration will include feeds
from both of these classes and 1t is
impossible to make suitable ration
by feeding those In the first class only.
A good ration for a cow producing
from "a to % pounds of milk per day,
would be all she would eat Of clover
or cowpea hay and for grain from five
to six pounds corn, and from three to
Ave pounds bran or oats. Another fair
" good ration for an ordinary COW is
all she will eat Of alfalfa or cowpea
hay and eight to twelve pounds of
corn. Still another would be clover
hay, as before, corn six to nine pounds,
and cottonseed meal, two pounds per
day. These rations will be improved
in every case by feeding corn silage.
