Dsiryipg Solves
the Farm Labor Problem.
Dairying solves the farm labor
problem because it gives steady
employment the entire year. At
present there are large numbers Of
unemployed men in the cities.
These men ought to be employed
on the farms of America and prob
ably would be, II farm work were
more stable. Generally men are en-
pl0yed during the summer season
and then discharged in the fall be-
cause there is not enough labor on
the farm to give them employment
during the winter. Short time pos
itions attract only the lowest grade
OF help. By making dairying the

Dairying will improve the educar

of the country. The tenants will be
able to pay the rent and will not

Oppose Sand Paste
For Chicken Feed

From 10000 to 100000 pounds OF sand
and rock and other weighty material
are sold weekly to New York people In
poultry, according to the Greater New

Associa ton.
As a result OF this practice, Abraham
Loewenstein, secretary of the associa-
ton: Il. r.. Goodman, special investi-
gator. and Herman Flick. an inspector
OF the association. appeared before the
office of markets and asked that the
Department OF Agriculture take steps
to stop this practice among shippers OF
live poultry.
The representatives OF the association
brought with them large number OF
chickens which had been sanded and
otherwise stuffed by special feeding TO
add to their market weight. They also
brought samples OF the sanded food OBJ
tained from the actual car In which the
chickens were shipped.
Chickens Are Starved.
This Weighing food consisted Of q
paste. composed OF two handfuls OF
wheat middling. one handful OF sand
and coarse gravel, and one handful OF
meal. According to these men, the
chickens are starved for twenty-foui

to consist OF men who. by the nature Of
their civil occupation or profession, are
peculiarly fitted for the special technical
work of the Quartermaster. Engineer
or signal Corps, or the ordnance or
medical departments OF the army. The
number OF this class OF men that would
be needed In time OF war is far IN ex-
cess of the numbers that will ever be
maintained in the regular army.
This class of men do not require
drilling and training In field exercises
as do infantrymen or cavalrymen, but
they must De technically skilled in their
