these excellent waists for a dollar.
Everything that enters into their max

but in the meantime their sales have
grown so tremendously throughout

has been offset by economies in MAX

GOOD RULES FOR MARKETING
Every Farmer Growing Small Grains
Should Have Tanning Miil-Refuse
Good for Stock.

Prices OF all farm products are
all kinds is not as high as formerly,
yet prices are fairly profitable; there
Is good foreign and home market
for wheat, corn and oats, with
prospect OF further advance in price
before the new crop can be harvested.
Every farmer growing wheat and corn
for market should have a good fan
ming mill. Wheat as IL comes from
the thresher usually has considerable
cookie, garlic and other weed seeds
and also many small and shriveled
grains of wheat This refuse when
ground makes excellent feed for stock,
but Is not fit for market. Run your
wheat through the fan once or twice
and aim to get the best price; it will
pay handsomely. Shelled corn needs
cleaning before being shipped. Hay
and fodder are high.
There has been great rush of half
fed cattle, sheep and hogs to mar
ket. Those who have the feed and
can hold on to animals intended for
slaughter will no doubt get we'll paid.
While the feeding OF cattle in the
eastern states is not as profitable as
in the West, yet taking one year with
another, the careful farmer can get
very fair prices for the corn and fod-
der fed-and has in addition many
loads Of rich manure, which. when
properly applied to the land, will keep
up the productiveness of his farm.
We have followed this old method
and find many advantages in it, the
most important one-giving steady
and remunerative employment to the
help throughout the year. says writer
in Baltimore American. If you have re-
liable help. pay them we'll and hold
on to them. Each farmer must exer-
else his own judgment when to sell
AS a rule it is best to sell when a
fair price can be had.

FINISH HOGS WITHOUT CORN
Oregon Farmer Used Sorghum and
kafir for Summer Pasture-Pigs
Clean Up Wheat Fields.

Hogs can be raised and finished
without corn. What corn is doing for
the hog in the middle West, wheat and
barley and kafir corn are doing in the
Northwest
A farmer in Oregon used sorghum
and kafir for summer pasture and fed
the matured kafir for fattening. In
three tests. he claimed that 100 bush
els of kafir seed equaled SO, "a and
90 bushels of maize, respectively.
BY combining tankage with barley,
another feeder put good and economi-
cal gains Oh to his hogs.
In the wheat-growing districts 1t
is getting to be the practice to let
the pigs clean up fields of poor wheat
and eat the leavings from threshing
machines. In poor wheat years, 1t
has been found more profitable to let
the hogs harvest the grain than to
harvest it by machinery and feed it
to the porkers afterwards.
Only a short time ago an eastern
Oregon farmer topped the market with
two carloads of hogs fattened on the
waste of a 700-acre field Of wheat
stubble

EYE FOLLOWS SPOKE
Explanation of Seeming Phe-
nomena OF the Movies"
Why Wheel, as II RevoIves, Seems 10
Rotate Observation-Disclosures That

Simple Matter.

Every person who has gone to the
movies" has probably noticed when
there is picture thrown on the screen
which involves the rotation of a wheel
having spokes. such as those on a bug
gy or an automobile, that as the wheel
first starts to rotate it appears to re-
volve In unison with the rest of the
picture, but as it gains speed it sud-
denly appears TO rotate backward,
rapidly at first; then 1t slowly stops
turning, although the vehicle gains in
speed. 1t then seems to rotate forward
Slowly. but not with the speed of the
rest of the vehicle. The film manu-
facturers have not been able to elimi
nate this unfortunate illusion. Many
explanations have been heard, but
they seldom approach the right one.
The moving picture is based on the
fact that the retina Of the eye retains
the vision for a small fraction of a
second. A moving object seen on the
screen in reality is a series of pictures
projected with such rapidity that the
rctina OF the eye still has the vision of
one projection when the next appears.
Thus the picture appears to move. In
the case OF revolving wheel the eye
follows the spokes. To make the ex-

FACTORS IN PRODUCING MILK
Feed Consumed-Dairym Should
Grow Some Glover.

Every dairyman should grow as
large acreage of clover as possible,
both for feeding and as means Of i'm
proving the crop producing resources
of his soil.
Too frequently dairymen have the
idea in mind that milk production is
directly dependent upon the feed con-
sumed and the more feed that can
re got into the COWS, the moro
milk there will be produced. This is
not altogether the correct view of the
proposition. There are ether factors
involved in maximum milk produc-
ton. other than feeding a properly
balanced ration. that must be taken
into account. Large consumption OF
feed does not necessarily result in
heavy milk production. Every dairy
COW has inherited tendencies. These
tendencies must be developed and en-
couraged by proper handling and feed
ing.
Very frequently good COWS are in
jured from overlooking. the caretaker
believing that in order to increase
the milk flow. more feed must be got
into the animals. There is a limit
to every good dairy cows profitable
consumption. and when this limit has
been reached every precaution should
be taken TO preserve the health of the
individual and also to maintain her at
high level Of production.

When the wheel starts to rotate to
the right, as shown in the diagram, the
top spoke in the picture will be in po.
sition No. l.
IL the second picture shows the
spoke in position No. the wheel will
appear to be rotating in unison with
the rest of the picture. If, however,
the wheel is rotating rapidly enough
so that the second picture shows the
top spoke in position No. it will ap-
pear to the eye that the next spoke,
which was in position No. in the first
picture, has moved back to position
No. A, and the wheel appears to be ro-
tating backward
When the wheel rotates so fast that
the camera catches the second posi-.
ton of the first spoke in the first po-
sition of the second spoke, the wheel
will show no rotation at all, though
the vehicle still moves.
When the wheel rotates so fast that
the second position of the top spoke
will appear in position No. 6, the
wheel will appear to have rotated from
positions Nos. to 6. This appears
as slow forward rotation.
When the wheel rotates so that the
second position of the top spoke is in
position No. 3, the wheel may appear
to be rotating forward in unison with
the rest of the picture, or it may ap-
pear TO be rotating backward.
