COMPANIES TO GO
HOME AS UNITS
Cost of Keeping Them Extra Days Will
More than Offset Mileage that Will
Be Saved-Reformers Much Appre-
ciated by the Men
Especial to The Reformer.
FORT ETHAN ALLEN. Oct. c


FORT ETHAN ALLEN, Oct. 6.
a change as to the time of the mus
ter out of all the companies with the
exception of /, *, L and ID has been
made. The other companies will be
mustered ont as follows: A, B, C and
NJ Monday, Oct. 8; f, F, G and H
Tuesday, Oct. 10; staff Wednesday,
Oct. IL. This change was made nee
essary because it is necessary to
make changes in the pay rolls of these
organizations to the extent of remak-
ing them and again figuring the cloth
ing allowances. The government has
decided to send the companies home
as units and save the mileage to which
the soldier would ordinarily be en-
titled. But this means an expense to
the government far in excess of the
amount that could possibly be saved,
because ii makes necessary the keep
ing of eight companies for two extra
days under pav and four companies for
three extra days.
1t has been definitely decied that
Vermont will not be represented at
the national rifle competition because
there IS no allotment set aside for the
expenses by the federal government.
Company | will be paid off and
mustered out Saturday morning. The

SAFE FROM BARRED WIRE.

One of the most trying tasks incident to trench
fighting has been considerably lghtened by the
appearance in the British trenches Of gloves made
of fabric which is said to be impervious to
barbed wire points. says Popular Science Monthly
The fabric is made up into mittens, with the first
finger and thumb separate. The fabric is water.
proof and in addition the gloves insulated for
gripping electrically charged wires.
The same material is applied to the manufac-
ture of sleeping bags, which, when opened. may
be thrown barbed wire ENHANCEMENT to
allow a soldier to climb the sharp points
without injury. When made up into vests or tunics
the fabric is strong enough to turn shrapnel
splinters or even bullet when it has lost part Of
it's momentum. The interlining Is antisepticized,
so that if bullet goes through it takes into the
wound enough antiseptic wool to prevent poison
ing.
The materials used in the manufacture Of this
remarkable fabric have been sedulously kept
secret this far.

liable acres. The problem of how to
prevent a waste of money, time and
energy in the attempt to develop
worthless land is worthy of careful
study. At best such waste can only
partially be prevented. The pity OF
1t is that so much of this loss falls on
those who can least afford to lose.
Every farmer who owns unprofit-
able land should make detailed ex-
animation of his farm, acre by acre, to
detect all Improbable areas. Next, he
should determine the approximate
cost Of making each acre pay its way.
Such study will disclose what and
how much is needed in the way Of
manure, commercial fertilizer, drain
age or other preparation, to produce
satisfactory crop yields. This analy-
tical study of each portion of the farm
will sometimes call attention to many
acres that cannot be cultivated prof
itably. 1t Is better to leave such land
in permanent pasture, or even to let
it lie idle. than to work it at loss.
The farm not only furnishes a home,
but it is a place Of business. AS such.
each enterprise and acre should re-
ceive individual attention. and, SO far
as practicable. the entire farm should
be placed on a paying basis"

The housekeeper whose rule it is
always to make a savOry brown or

meat-essence remaining in the frying
pan after veal, chicken or hamburg
steaks have been cooked, will fire.
quently let the contents of the pan be
discarded, if it were used for frying
mutton or lamb. This is on account
of the quality of the fat that cooks
out. of the meat, which is disagree
able to many persons. But If care
has been taken not to permit any
scorching during the frying, let cup
full of boiling water be poured into the
pan after the meat has been removed,
and let this boil up we'll, stirring with
a spoon. until all traces of the meat
essence have been dissolved away
from the pan. Strain this liquid into
an earthen or agate bowl. dash a
little cold water into it, and set aside
in q cool place. In few hours the
fat will have formed a solid cake.

'Low-yielding acres, like boarder
cows, are often fatal to successful
farming" according to j. C. Mcdowell
of the Office of farm management,
United States department of agricul-
ture, in the new year book. Our
farm survey records show that areas
of poorly drained. compact and sour
soils, or soils low in humus, greatly
reduce net profits. Sometimes these
records show that as much as 80 per
cent of the entire farm acreage does
not produce enough to pay its way.
Zone farm in Wisconsin. on which
records were recently taken. has 40
acres of poorly drained land that in
its present condition is practically
worthless. Twenty-Five dollars per
acre spent in drainage will make this
40-acre tract the equal of any in that
district, and good land is selling there
at $3.50 per acre. A small portion of
similar land on this farm has already
been tile-drained and is now produc-
ing a fair profit on each acre so i'm
proved.
THE successful business man al
ways tries to weed out all Improbable
enterprises and to expand those that
pay a profit. Improbable acres can
not always be disposed of as readily
as boarder cows. but usually they can
be improved until they become profit
bearing. II the income from such land

ERADICATION OF CORN SMUT
Only Method 10 to Cut OF Smutty
Stalks and Burn Them-No
Treatment Of Seed.

by o. NJ. ALLYN. Illinois Experiment
Station.)
There is no treatment of seed corn
for smut. The spores which cause
smut in corn live over from one year
until the next in manure, soil. refuse,
ETC. In the summer, under favorable
conditions these spores which may
have wintered in the soil or may have
been hauled to the field in the manure,
find Judgment on the tender parts Of
the corn plant, usually by the action
of the wind, and start to grow.
The source of the spore is not the
seed corn, therefore. treatment will
do no good. The only method of Grad
ication is to cut of the smutty stalks
and burn them. This. Of course, is i'm
practical.
