These are:
(1l Beef.-Farms where all the cows
are kept strictly for beef Except
baby beef. In which there is no sale
Of milk and butter.
~ Baby beef.-Farms devoted TO
the production of high-grade calves
fattened and sold at from II to -
months of age.
(3) Dual purpose.-Farms on which
all the cows are MIXED and the calves
weaned at birth and raised on skim
milk.
(4) Mixed.-Farms where the best
cows are MIXED, their calves being
weaned ut birth, while calves from
other cows run with their dams. This
is a combination of beef and dual
purpose.
(5) Partially milked.--Farms on
which calves are not weaned but on
which a part Of the milk is drawn
from the COW, the calf taking the re-
mainder.
(6) Double nursing.-Farms where
some Of the cows are MIXED and their
calves given to other cows.

That cattle In most cases add to
the farm income in the corn belt Is
indicated by the results of q recent in
vestigatiOn conducted by the United
States department of agriculture as
part of comprehensive study of the
meat situation In which Its specialists
have been engaged for some time. The
direct profit from the raising or
calves in this section, the averages
seem to establish, Is usually small, but
the investigators point out that there
are other factors which make the prac-
tice more advantageous than would
appear at first sight
Among these advantages are the
fact that live stock on the farm pro-
vides home market and means of
utilization Of farm roughage, some OF
which might be wasted If not fed. and
the use of pastures which could not
be employed profitably In any other
way. Live stock also affords a ready
home market for certain other crops.

stock on the farm gives productive
employment throughout the year TO
labor which at certain seasons might
otherwise be Idle. Live stock also
gives some interest on capital invested

The fertillzing value of manure also

TUFTS men WEAR
HELMETS OF WHITE
TO AID IN PASSING

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 24.-As Har-
ward teams are known as the Wear
ers of the Crimson" Yale, as the BLUE
Jerseyed Warriors" and Princeton for
its tiger stripes, Tufts Is known to
the football world as the White Hell
melted Eleven
One of the first problems that beset
Coach Whelan when he broke into the
forward passing game. was that Of
picking out the men quickly so as not
to waste time on the throw. Various
methods were tried without much sue
cess, until he one day hit upon the
idea of painting all the Tufts head
guards white.
1t had the desired effect. No longer
did the fullback have to wait until he
could recognize face or form in the
melee in order to be sure of his aim
when hurting the ball over the scrim-
mage line. He threw instantaneously
for the white helmet that looked the
least guarded. So pleased was the
coach with the working out of his
little scheme that he instituted It as
one of the permanent features Of his
system.
The bewildering array of forward
passes and trick formations used by
Tufts with such success against both
Harvard and Princeton insure a pref
" fight when Whelan's warriors cross
swords with the State University
team at Indianapolis, October 28.

GLASS OF SALTS IF
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat less meat If you feel Backachy
or have Bladder trouble
Salts fine for Kidneys

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys In their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters Of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full Of sediment: the
channels often get irritated, obliging
you to get up two or three times dur
ing the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts
is inexpensive; harmless and makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases. ADV.

JAMES WATSON
[contInued from page one1

Since 1860 the wage scale in America
has increased three-fold. It has re-
manned almost stationary in England,
a free-trade country.
Wages Have Doubled.
Since Germany adopted the pro-
tective tariff wages in that country
have doubled Recently the English
trades union made demand upon the
government to establish protective
tariff. If this demand is not recogniz-
ed before the close of the war the
English working men will be ruined by
a deluge of imported foreign-made
goods The same crisis confronts the
American working man if a protective
tariff is not provided before the close
of the war.
Perhaps you men recall that dur
ing the fourteen months proceeding
the present world war there were four
million idle men in this country and
that one-sixth of our railroads were
In the hands of receivers. That was
a condition brought about by our pres
ent tariff law. With the advent Of the
war came a demand for American
made war munitions and the first year
of the war our exports were $2,300,000
more than In any other one year of
American history. Our present pros
perity is artificial-warmade.
Nation Needs Tariff.
IF we have foreign competition at
the close of the war; under such a
tariff as we now have, down will go
our wage scale. Our European friends
will quit buying Of us then and they
will come here to compete with our
industries. The European workman
when the war ends will have to work
longer hours and for much less wages
than our workingmen enjoy to hold
their own in a terrible struggle for
existence and this country will be
flooded with pauper made goods I'M
less a protective tariff barrier is erect
ed to safeguard the interests of our
manufacturers and our workingmen.'
