New YORK, April 10, 1916.

The rapid absorption by the packing
concerns of the 1916 crop of Porto
Rican tobacco is the striking event Of
the week. Buyers representing the
larger concerns have been engaged in
buying up the crop at rapidly advanc-
ing prices, and if the reports concern
ing the prices paid are true, the manu-
featuring industry has another high
priced article tocontend with. The old
crop was absorbed rapidly, and the
handlers of Porto Rico tobacco were
among the few with whom business has
been good. The supply of old has about
given out, and the quantity remaining
in the hands of the dealers is pract, ,al-
ly nothing. 1t may be stated, ALSO,
that the old crop passed into the hands
of the manufacturers at reasonable
prices. The 1916 crop was not large in
acreage, and there was drouth In the
latter part of the season, which, of
course, curtailed production somewhat.
Business in other types of tobacco has
been quiet. Leaf.

Pork Barrel Wins Again.

The fight in the house against the
rivers and harbors pork barrel measure
of 1916 has ended in it's passage by a
vote of 200 to 1885,
The debate, led by Minority Leader
Mann and Representative Frear of
Wisconsin, exposed item after item in
the bill. Yet 200 members of the house
voted for it. The backward south,
where under this administration the
worst specimens of pork have been dis
tributed, voted solidly for the gigantic
graft.
This vote is shame upon the house
of representatives and upon the Amer
lean people, whose selfish shortsighted-
ness or Indifference has tolerated the
log rolling and cynical localism which
make possible this inexcusable waste
of the public revenues. But there is
consolation in the vote, nevertheless,
and in the fighting that preceded it.
Representative Frear had little agrees
sive backing when he began. He now
has for allies some of the ablest men
in the house, with the minority leader
at the head of the list, and the latest
vote, to recommit, brought 149 votes,
the largest yet attained by the opposi-
ton to pork.
The nation is confronting the neces-
sity of enlarged expenditures on ma
tional defense. 1t should meet them
by cutting out local graft and waste. =

In AN article published in one of the
New York magazines by James j. Hill,
the railroad magnate, he declared that
American labor must share the cost OF
the present wars waste. In part he
says: eve have feverish prosperity
that may vanish over night. The great
bulk of the business now taxing the
capacity of our railroads arises from
the war necessities of Europe. The
money our people are getting in pay
ment for their products is being pro-
vided on the forced credit of the COM
bined nations of Europe, They are
raising these hundreds of millions by
piling up to enormous heights the debts
of their governments, thus building up
a great financial burden that must be
borne by future generations. The in
slant that peace is in sight land no one
can tell how soon this may be, because
Europe cannot go on much longer de-
stroying lives and property at this un-
precedented rate) all this flood OF or
ders will suddenly cease. Europe will
then begin the slow and painful process
of recovering from the great losses OF
the war. High wages and high prices
work in a circle. Every rise of one is
reflected in rise of the other. But
somebody has to pay these wages. They
do not come out of the air. In the enc
labor suffers when the business nc
longer pays profit and the pay rolls
cease entirely by the closing up OF ar
industry no longer profitable.

THE first week in May will be Mos
quito Week. National observance of
this week as such is being planned.
During this time it is hoped to focus
public attention on the mosquito as a
nuisance and carrier of disease, and
to enlist the cooperation of the people
in exterminating the pest. Can mos
.quitos be wiped out? They most GER
tainly can! When one considers what
has been done in Havana and along the
Panama canal, the plaques of mosqui-
toes which citizens of our American
cities tolerate each summer is disgrace
full. All mosquitoes do not come from
marshlands Not a bit of it. They
breed in large numbers in INSTRUCTED
roof cutters, drains, roof tanks, fire
buckets, tin cans, bottles and boxes,
and in other places where rain water
has been allowed to accumulate.

Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, PA, Arpil 10, 1916.
The growers of Lancaster county ex-
press the belief that planting is going
to be late again this year, as it has
been for the past several seasons. With
April nearly half gone, very few seed
beds cave yet been made, the ground
having been too wet and too cold. With
seed beds made late the plants will be
late getting to the proper size, and
even with decent May weather planting
cannot be early because the plgnts will
not be ready.
Much more stable manure will be
used this year than formerly, much
having been secured from the stables
of Lancaster and the country towns
and villages. Besides, very many more
thousands of heads of Southern and
ter on the farms of Lancaster county
than during the previous winter.
The 1909 tobacco is still selling. 1t
has gone up to II and III cents. Not
much has been sold at those figures
but holders of it expect to get chat
much anyhow. To make good clear
ance would require 20 to % cents.
: It really is hardly worth while touch
ing on the business of the local pack
ers, because so many of them have
such little business. by reason of hav
ing so little old goods.
Ali sorts of reports are current re-
garding the 1915 packing, now in the
sweat, but there is no discounting
statements that much rot is develop
ing. Some of the holders of the goods
admit that. this is so. The only ques-
ton now is, how serious will the dam
age be in the end?

Contract for Cooperative Packing
Plant Let.

The contract for the erection of a
farmers CO operative packing plant at
Madison was awarded on Saturday last
to the Mueller Construction Co. of Chi
cago and the cost of the plant when
completed is to be 1925, 900. The plans
are by Gardner & Lindberg, packing
house architects of Chicago. The COM
pany has given a bond to have the
plant ready for operation early in the
fall.
The site of the plant is on North
street on the Portage line of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad,
and contains 20 acres. The principal
buildings are to be two, the main pack
ing building, 225x90 feet, four stories
and basement, and a power house, ma
chine shop and boiler house, 8Ox80 feet.
two stories. The stock yards are to be
175x175 feet and conveniently located.
The buildings are to be of the most
approved reinforced concrete construc-
ton and are to be outftted with the
m ost modern machinery and efficiency
producing packing house equipment.
Provision will be made to carry out the
modern idea of utilizing every by-pro-
duct so that in the operation of the
plant there will not be single grain

proof there is to be a complete sprink-
ling system throughout with two
sources of water supply. 1t is said
that when the plant is in operation
there will be an absolute absence of
annoying odors. .
The daily capacity of the plant is to
be $50 hogs, 100 cattle and 500 sheep,
lambs and calves.
The stock for the plant has been SUBJ
scribed for by farmers of half dozen
counties in the southern portion of the
state.

RAPID and great as have been the in
crease in farm values within the past
decade and half, the increase in such
values is found to be progressive at
present in more marked degrees than
at any previous time. The Department
of Agriculture has just made public the
official figures dealing with the ad-
vances of only four years. These show
that improved farm land values in the
United States, generally speaking, and
including all sections of the country,
increased 25.7 per cent in that short
time.

off through the same strainer used for

water, at the same temperature, is
again added, and the washing opera,
ton is repeated until the water drawn
from the churn shows no color Of but,

termilk. the wash water has the effect
of hardening the butter.
Sailing and Working Butter.
After the washing in the cnurn aas
been finished the butter-woFher is
scalded and cooled with cold water to
swell the pores of the wood and pre-
vent the butter from sticking. The
churn is then drawn near the worker
and the butter granules are taken
from the churn with a paddle and ladle
and placed on the worker. The hands
should never touch the butter, as their
warmth melts the fat, and if they are
not clean such handling is insanitary.
The butter is sailed on the worker.
Fine, clean salt in the proportion Of
one ounce to the pound of butter
should be sprinkled uniformly over the
butter. More or less salt may be used
as the taste of the consumer may pre-.
fer.
Working the butter should be done
by pressing the pile of granules with
the lever until the butter is in fat
mass about one inch thick. This should
then be folded over upon itself and
the t1attening process repeated, the
butter being pressed carefully in order
to avoid making it greasy. 1t should
be worked in this way until the salt is
evenly distributed throughout the
mass. The working Of butter dis
tributes the salt and expels the excess
moisture. The edges Of the butter
when broken or pulled apart should
have a granular appearance similar t,
broken cast steel or broken half
baked potato. Properly worked but
ter retains it's granular form at ali
times. Too much working or working
the butter when too soft destroys the
grain, and the edges when broken @,
pulled apart have a slightly string!
appearance, like chewing gum pulled
apart.

FOWLS NEED PROTEIN
heterogeneous Material Essential
to Egg Production.
Small Proportion Of Beef Scrap With
Bran, Shorts and Whole Wheat
Produces Good Results Says
Kansas Expert.

Protein is essential to heavy egg
production. In just what form to sup
ply this food element is question that
puzzles many farmers, as we'll as
townspeople, who are not in a posi-
ton to grow their own feed.
lnsects-in season-furnish much
protein where the birds are on range.
Poultry feeders have used raw meats
or by-products of packing plants,
known as beef scrap. AS the demand
has increased, the price of the latter
has advanced. Now few poultry
raisers consider it too expensive and
are supplying protein through vege-
table sources.
Cottonseed meal is the most CON-
monty used substitute, but where this
has been given in place of all other
leavy protein supplying feeds, the re-
suit has not been all that could be de-
sired, points out N. L. Harris, super
intendent Of the poultry farm at the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
IN the other hand, where cottonseed
neal has been used as a supplement to
..ef scrap at the rate Of SO per cent Of
- ration, it apparently has given as
GOOD results rs an exclusive meat
crap diet. On account Of the bulk
needed it is impossible for hen to
nl,Sume enough sour milk or butter
milk.
Ordinarily the beef scrap should
constitute 10 per cent Of tho ration, in
