 Only rumors of what really is transpiring at the meeting reached the outside world today.
 Guards in soft shirts, thrown open at the neck, flowing western hats and a faculty of consuming innumerable cigarettes warned outsiders to move on" when any effort was made to gain information regarding the pro- ceedings n the convention hall.
 Newspaper reporters, filled with the spirit of daring, ventured occa- sionally near the door of the smoke filled hall and were met with the in- junction from the guards: "You'se guys get the air! On your way now. Orders is orders!"

Birds Stop Gas Supply

MENOMINEE, Wis, Nov. IT, Every gas user in Menominee had to go without gas for several hours all because two little sparrows had built their nests in the outlet pipe of the water tank through which the gas is passed. During the heavy rain the tank overflowed because the nest clogged the outlet pipe. The over flowing of the tank disarranged the apparatus and shut off the gas. The nest was removed later and the gas supply restored.

MANURE LOSES BY TEACHING
When Rains Fall Much of Soluble
Plant Food Is Carried Away
Moisture Holds Plant Food.

Farmers have been so accustomed
to throw the manure from the stable
in a pile in the barnyard, and leave IT,
until 1t is convenient to haul 1t to the
fields, that they do not give the mat
ter Of loss by washing and teaching
any consideration. Usually but little
Of the value OF the solids of the ma
nure is lost In the stable, but great
losses occur after it is thrown in
pile. The manure in the stable, sat
urated by the urine, contains more
than 80 per cent water.
The moisture in the manure holds in
solution the greater part of the plant
foods which the manure contains.
When the rains fall upon the manure
the teaching process carries away
much of the soluble plant foods and II
is lost beyond recovery, for 1t is either
carried away in the water as 1t flows
on the surface to the streams. or sinks
into the ground where. for all practi-
cal purposes, 1t is wasted.

BREEDING PLACES FOR FLIES
Treatm,tnt Recommended by United
States Department Of Agriculture
to Control Insects.

Manure piles are flies favorite
breeding places. If farmers will keep
manure and stable sprinkled with a
solution that will kill the larva, flies
need not become numerous. The fol-
lowing treatment, recommended in
United States department OF agricul-
ture bulletin lis, will control flies and
will make a noticeable reduction in
the number around a given place; Dis
solve three-fourths of a pound OF
borax In two or three gallons OF water.
Spray or sprinkle manure piles and
stables with the solution about twice
q week.
This will kill the larva which hatch
from eggs laid in manure. The danger
to human health from flies is sufficient
to make the wise farmer take these
precautions, but If he looks for further
justification it can be found in the pro-
lection of live stock. Human diseases
are spread by flies and live stock are
worried by them. The danger to hui
man welfare must be conceded, but
the loss to live stock is not so easily
seen. Animals which are pestered by
flies will lose flesh, and stable flies rob
them of blood.

farmers garden. Field methods should
be practiced in preparing the land for
planting, and as much preliminary
work done In the fall as is possible,
for the sake OF both securing an early
garden and reducing the amount of la
Dor in spring. After the land is cleared
of refuse from preceding crops it
should be heavily MANFRED and plowed
in the fall. The amount of manure to
be applied will depend somewhat upon
the fertility of the land, but more
largely upon the trueness of the farm
er's conception of the plant food re-
quirements of garden crops. The best
gardens are possible only where plant
food is supplied much more literally
than is considered ample for field
crops.
II the land has been MANFRED and
plowed In the fall, and is worked at
the proper time in spring, very little
labor is necessary in the preparation
Of a seed bed for the early planting.
Soil containing sufficient humus to
grow vegetable crops advantageously,
can be fitted for planting without the
use of hand tools, IL the precaution is
taken to work 1t at the exact time 1t

BENEFIT OF LIME ON SOILS
VIII Correct Sourness and Assist In
Getting Stand Of AifaIfa-How
to Distribute.

On a few soils which have ten
dency to sourness, the use of lime is
beneficial in getting stand of alfalfa,
and in some cases is necessary to sue
cess. To begin with, one should use
lime experimentally and If possible
learn to grow alfalfa on land that does
not need lime. Where lime is used
1t should be applied at the rate Of
5000 to 1000 pounds an acre in any
convenient form except that from gas
works, which contains injurious COM
pounds. Where only a small area Is
to be lined, the ordinary barrel lime
allowed to air slake or water slake to
a powder may be used. The ground
limestone is the cheapest form where
large amounts are to be applied. This
is best applied by means of a lime dis.
tributor after blowing and before
working the ground down SO that the
preparation of the seeded may work
the lime into the soil. For a small
area. however, 1t will be more FEAST
BILE to scatter the lime from wagon
box with a shovel by hand.
The limestone so common in middle
West states is now becoming available
through the use offs machine which
grinds the stone into suitable form.

latter part of May, says writer in the
Baltimore American. Drill one bushel
of large, sound, selected corn to the
acre; this will allow ten to twelve
grains to the running foot in the Az
inch rows.
The ground should be in good order.
After drilling roll che feld, the corn
can then be worked with the double
section smoothing harrow before the
grain terminates. Work the crop four
times; this will hasten the growth of
corn and clean the weeds and put it
in nice order for fall seeding.
II the ground is mellow and rich,
nearly every stalk will grow a single

EXACT MEASURES IN FEEDING
Practical Way ls to Weigh Definitely
What Each Vessel VIII Hold
Guess Work Improbable.

It is always best to be exact in feed.
ing. Too much guess work" is done
on the farm. That is one reason why
some of us find farming no more prof
liable.
In computing rations and feeding,
the various feeds should be weighed.
II is not always necessary to weigh
every feed, as this may take consider
able time. It is not always practical
to weigh every feed, as feeding is
sometimes done after dark or before
dawn. The practical way is to weigh
definite quantity as the amount a
measure will hold and estimate each
feed.
A quart measure is a convenient
vessel in which to estimate grain and
other concentrated feeds. A quart of
the following common feeds weighs:
Cottonseed meal. is pounds; wheat
bran lcoarse). IS pounds; wheat mid
ding, coarse (shorts). 8 pounds;
wheat middling. fine. IL pounds; corn
meal, L5 pounds: oats. IL pounds;

tiles.
Wheat middlings is an excellent
feed to start the young pigs, and
can be prohtably used with other feeds
during the whole feeding period.
When used alone the meat made from
middlings seems little too soft and
fiabby, but mingled with other feeds,
like cornmeal, it adds palatability and
digestibility, and also helps to balance
the ration, making economical pro-
duction more possible than can be the
case without them.
AS lean meat is what is demanded,
instead Of putting the hogs in the
pen and feeding grain alone for a
considerable time. as was the custom
half century ago, the pigs are ia
ken from the pasture fields when in
good healthy condition, and supply the
butchers and packers with what they
need in the shape of palatable bacon,
light hams and choice cuts, such as
consumers relish, leaving handsome
profit with the producers and giving
satisfaction to those who select the
best of pork meats as a part of their
diet.
Skillful management in feeding reg
ularly of moderate quantity of the
feeds at hand on the farms, allowing
the pigs a chance to get q part ra-
ton of the pasture grasses, clovers
and forage crops which they relish
and will consume greedily, will enable
one to fit pigs for market at cost
which will leave a handsome profit,
even at the present high prices for
grain feeds.
