Washington, d. O.. Jan. IA. - In
crease OF the national guard to a peace
strength of 100000 and war strength
OF 800, 900 is proposed In bills introduc-
ed today by Senator Cummins, repub-
lican of Iowa. Three year enlistments:
three times the camp maneuver and
rife practice now required; no obllga-
tion to perform police duty after 1920
and conversion Of six army posts into
federal schools for reserve officers, are
their principal features.

STONE DEFENDS WILSON.

Chairman Stone of the senate for

on the Mexican situation today with
President Wilson. He said he was
gathering information of the admins.
tration's attitude with which to meet
attacks in the senate.
Senator Stone said he did not ex-
pect American troops would be sent
into Mexico unless there were further
developments to force it. He consid-
cred that the Villa element, enraged
by the recognition Of Carranza, were
determined to attack Americans to
force Intervention.
He plainly indicated that the ad-
ministration will look to Carranza to
control the situation and punish the
bandits. .- ..,
White house officials indicated that
the resolution Of Senator Lewis Of

knowledge. a'

United States to go to war in Mexi-

murdered American citizens.
eve know these bandits are seek
ing blood of Americans for revenge.
l think that Americans who venture
into such places and Americans who
venture forth on belligerent ships in
to war zones are committing crime
against the government whose pro-
lection they seek. OF course we must
try to protect them. They have a
technical legal right to go into dan

around about the farmer. Jo-
seph Tartigan, an official of New
York state, charges the farmers
of the west with conspiracy to
understate the crop returns.
"Knowingly concealed at least
25 per cent of their wheat CROP"
is the language used, although,
he adds, II do not charge the
farmers with being dishonest"
The ethical views of Joseph Harti-
gan are of small concern to the aver
age western farmer. but he should be
nut in his place. He also charges
farmers with having secreted all sorts
of vegetables with the idea of dump
ing them on the market at inflated
prices. He says he travelled through
20 states and secured Information su-
perior to that obtainable by the grain
men with their large and mobile Or
CARNATIONS.
Through a Car Window.
1t is probable that most of his in
formation was secured through the
plate glass of Pullman car window,
and the idea that the farmer( like the
little red hen, can set and incubate
prices from August until November,
on setting of rutabagas, onions, cab
bage and bread staples is chimera.
Perhaps the word chimera is altoge-
ther too polite.
AS a matter of fact, and as usual,
the government overestimated the
wheat crop by millions of bushels.
The government is always an opti-
mist on crops.
The Governments Mistake.
It made even more egregious mis-
take as to the corn crop of 1915. And
as long as the present methods con-
troll it will be mostly wrong by the
time the reports are published.
Surprising one reads that the con-
dition of wheat and potatoes are both
SO per cent in August. With wheat
one may make some estimate of the
crop. With potatoes that have not
begun to make, it means no more
than that potatoes are up and that
they may or may not make a crop.
If soil moisture is deficient, nor
NAL rainfall will not make it up, yet
the crops condition, it's needs having
so far been met, may be reported
at a maximum though there is only
the off chance of abnormal precipita-
ton being sufficient to grow the crop
out. 1t so comes about that those
who make allowances for these
things usually make the most correct

IMPLEMENT statesmen
STUDY FARM METHODS.

So that they may be of greater
service to the farmers of America
with whom they come in daily con-
tact, the 5000 statesmen, blockmen
and general agents of large agri-
cultural implement concern will
study improved farming methods at
movable agricultural schools to be
conducted during the fall and win
ter in IS cities in all parts of the
country. These schools have just
closed a two days session in this
city, statesmen from many other
places being present.
Today world conditions demand
that every acre of American farm
land should be made to yield it's ut
most and that the fertility of the
soil be preserved and built up. Farm
ers must understand crop rotation
and must be made to realize that di-
versified farming and the raising of
livestock are necessary for profitable
agriculture.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
Keep Male Birds A1uav
From the Laying Hens

The rooster and the cockerel are
altogether too conspicuous in the av-
erage farm flock. All too frequently
several mature cocks and a dozen
cockerels are to be found in the
farmyard Fostering the hens and
fighting among themselves for SUI
premacy.
Economical gains in weight are
seldom made by cocKerels kept after
the first of November and by that
date all male birds not intended for
breeding should be killed off for
market. If kept through the winter
they consume more feed per bird
than laying hens and give nothing in
return.
Not only is there an economic
waste in continuing to feed cocker
els after they have obtained their
growth but it has been demonstrated
by experiments that their presence
in the flock results IN slower devel-
opment and productiveness in the
females. Pullets mature sooner and
in better form if separated from
cockerels as soon as the sexes can be
determined with certainty. Hens lay
more eggs when separated from
males than when constantly mated
and the eggs keep longer for being
infertile.
This all indicates that it is a prof.
liable practice to separate the sexes
except during the breeding season. 1t
makes little trouble to keep the
male birds confined but it pays in
earlier maturity and greater egg
production in the females.
Hog Tonic.
The food materials commonly con-
sumed by hogs are frequently def
cient in mineral matter, and for this
reason when hogs are fed in pens,
better results are obtained in the

these important elements is supplied.
The following furnishes mineral mat

BUSHELS; salt, 80 bushels, lime, 4
quarts. Mix these together in bar
rel or on floor. Copperas (iron
sulphate) is very effective in keep
ing hogs free from worms and may
be added to the foregoing mixture.

pailful of hot water and pour the

full that it is we'll distributed. 1t is
advisable to keep such a mixture be-

POOR COWS RAPIDLY
REDUCE DAIRY PROFIT
bessie YIELDING ONLY $50
POUNDS BUTTER FAT, EATS
MORE THAN HER SHARE

We need to do little more clear
thinking in the cow-keeping business,
says Professor Eckles of Missouri,
who points out that consideration
of all the leading dairy breeds and
shorthorns will show that the food
consumed is in direct relation to the
milk and butter fat and that a COW
that provides but $50 pounds of but
ter fat annually is a poor machine,
while requiring as much food to
maintain IS COW with Ia heavy
yield.
The heavy mixer does not digest
feed any better, neither does her
body use the feed she does digest any
more efficiently than the small pro-
Queer. The high producer merely
has a greater capacity for work and
uses more feed for making milk than
does the small mixer. With a COW
producing $50 pounds of fot year,
more than one-half of the feed she
consumes is used to maintain the
body.
The COW that produces $50 pounds
of fat uses the same amount of feed
to maintain her body but it is only
about 35 per cent of her total feed
consumption. The remaining IS per
cent is used directly for milk produce
ton. In this way, much larger pro-
portion of her total ration is avail
able for milk production and the feed
cost of a pound of Fat or of milk is
lower. Another way to put it it to
say that with a good COW the over
head charges are less in proportion
to the work done.

B0WD0|N COACH

Brunswick, Me, May 9.-Announce
ment was made by the Bowdoin Col
lese Athletic Council this morning that
Albert J. Weatherheard. Jr., Harvard,

football team next season. Rumor has

Harvard football men. But Weather
heard's name had not been heard I'M

Weatherheard fitted for Harvard at
the University school, Cleveland, O.,
where he played two years as tackle
and end under Rush, now head coach
at Princeton. He entered Harvard in
the fall of 1911. and played end on the
Freshman team. The next year he
made the Varsity but broke his cheek
bone and was out of the game during
the more important games of the sea-
son. IN the college year 1894 he did
not return to Harvard but returning in
the fall of 1914, he made the Varsity
end and was awarded his H" at the
