NO SUPPLY FOB FARMS HERE
Forty Applications Have Been Made for
Farm Laborers But Less Than 10 Men
Have Offered to Fill the Places In
Different Parts of the County.

County Agricultural Agent Griffith
Richards went to Madison today looking
for farm hands. With more than fifty
applications for help on file in the of
flee of the County Council Of Defense
and less than is men applying for work,
Kenosha county is going to be forced
to look to other counties to furnish her
with men to work the fields. It is ex-
pected that there will be an increasing
dGmand as the season for farm work
gets into real swing and it is pretty GER
tain that the city of Kenosha is not
going to be able to furnish men TO me OF
the demand. Mr.. Richards represented
Kenosha county at the labor conference
held at Madison this afternoon. At this
conference the question Of more equal
division of labor is to be suggested. 1t
Is declared that men can be found in
several Of the counties of the state and
an effort to provide transportation for
some of these men to Kenosha county
will be made.
RDCAA
the state have been organized along the
County Council of Defense lines, - said
Mr.. Richards, before he left for Mad
ison, 81 think that it will be able for
us to get considerable number of men
for work on the farms in Kenosha coun-
ty. They report that there are idle
men in several of the counties up north
and these men are anxious to find work
The Kenosha county farmers are offer
ing good wages and the employment in
most cases would be permanent. It is
expected that 40 counties will be rep
resented at the conference today and
out of this large number Of representa-
lives there should be some suggestion
Of where men can be found"
The County Board at its session on
Saturday furnished the sinews for cop
tinuance of the work of the County
Council of Defense. An appropriation
Of thousand dollars was made for the
Inauguration Of the work and if there
is a continued demand for the work of
the council it is expected that the coun-
by will make further appropriations
when the County Board meets next No
vember. The city is expected to pay
its share toward the support of this
big work in one way or another and
members of the council will prevent the
financial needs Of the County Council
Of Defense to the city council later.
The plan that has been suggested is
IN even division of the expenses be-
tween the city and the county and the
county has led the way by making the
First appropriation of thousand dol
lars.
Labor Agent Richards is having some
trouble organizing his county labor
board. Up to the present time but
;our towns are represented. The mem
9ers who have pledged their aid in
dude f. A. King of Pleasant Prairie,
Tohn Evans, Salem; Matt Jackley,
Brighton, and u. J. Pfaffenburger, of
Twin Lakes. A second call has been
tent to some of the towns in en- order
q enlist workers. These men are to
let as agents of the County Council in
heir towns and make provision for the
employment of such men as may be
NEEDED and secured.

smooth and level and the bed is closed by placing the sash over it. The tenn perature is likely to rise very high. but after one or two days will drop. When the temperature reaches s de- grees. it is well to begin to plant the seed. Tmperature refers to the soil and not to that of the air. All small seeds such as radish. 1ettuce,s cabbage. aster, pans yand the like, should be planted in rows three inches apart and the seeds planted on average depth of one fourth inch. F'urrows for the re- ception of these seeds may be made by pressing down the edge of a board into the soil. The seed is sown in lit- tie trenches and covered with fine soil, fiat board and water sprayed on with fine nozzle. s
 After the seed has been sown, much care should be given to the ventila- ton of the air. This Is accomplished by raising or lowering the sash. The temperature should not go above 75 degrees in the daytime or fall below 50 degrees at night. If a good deal of moisture gathers on the glass, it is pretty good indication that more fresh air is needed. and should be ad- mitted by raising the sash. Care should be exercised not to permit di- rect wind to blow in on the plants. Plants should be transplanted to other sections of the hotbed as soon as the third leaves start to appear. Plants are generally put three to four inches apart edcn way. 1OHldtoeS ana SoIue iarge-g growing plants will have to be replanted when they take all the space.
 Let all who have hotbeds start them as soon as possible so as to have fresh vegetables this spring at noe too great great an expense. Any who do not have hotbeds can have them even at this lat date. They can be made of a temporary nature by placing a hot bed frame right on top of a large pile of horse manure The sides of course should be well banked. Soil is placed on top of the straw which is on top of the manure just as suggested above. The only thing against this is that one. will have to be more careful in pro- tecting the bed and it will be more expensive to operate because of the necessity of having a large pile of horse manure.

Stomach Troubles Are
 Due To Acidity
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy, Relief for
 Acid Indigestion.

So-called stomach troubles such as indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach ache and inability to retain food, are in probably nine cases out of ten sim ply evidence that fermentation is taking place in the food contents of the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acids.
 Gas diStends the stomach and causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling som etimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and infiames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excessive development or secretion of acid and the fermentation of food.
 To stop or prevent the fermentation or souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid and make it bland and harmless. a tea spoonful of bisurated magnesia, per- haps the best and most effective cor rector of acid stomach, known. should be taken in a quarter of glass of hot or cold water immediately after eat ing or whenever gas, sourness or acid tion. sweetens the stomach and neu- tralizes the acfdity in a few moments and is a perfectly harmless and inex- pensive remedy to use.
 An antacid, such as Bisurated Mag nesia. which can be obtained from any druggist in either powder or tablet form, enables the stomach to do it's work properly without the aid of dangerous artificial digestants. Mag nesia comes in several forms, so be certain to ask for and take only Bi- surated Magnesia. which is especially prepared for the above purpose.

SOW pea hay, may. be given.
 The farmers who sell whole milk have another problem. Experience has taught that the only method of replen- ishing a herd and advancing produc- ton is to raise the heifer calves. The plan in general use at present is to feed a minimum amount of milk along with grain, or to give the calf q good start and take the milk away after about two months, and then put the calf on a grain ration.
 Many atte9npts have been made to find milk substitutes. oil meal, blood flour and wheat nidd1ings or -four have made up the major portion of most of them. Those which have proved most successful have contained small portion of powdered skim milk. When they are fed. whole milk Is given for about the first month and the calves are gradually changed to the calf meal. This is fed as gruel which has been previously heated to 145 degrees F. for one-hAlf hour and cooled to about 90 degrees F. at feed- ing time. The amount fed depends upon the size of the cah, but should not in excess. of one and one-fourth pounds per feed twice a day. One should have had experience in raising calves before trying this method Such feeds enable a man selling milk at a high price at retail or wholesase to-

MANY unPRoFITABLe COWS
Many Share in Loss of Milk Profits
 Unnecessary Waste.

Milk profits are just as small or smaller this year than ever before. High priced grains are responsible to a great degree. but the COW or the is time elimination or selection should be considered more seriously than ever before Pure bred sires with good pedigrees should be at the head of every herd.
 Malcolm R. Gardner makes the sur 0oo, 900 unprodtable cows in the Unit ed States. This is one-fourth of all the cows in the country. He hgures that if it were possible to cut out and care and feeding expenses of these un- amount to at least s1o.00e,0o0 a year. This is a vast sum to be uselessiy wasted, for it has been proved that it is possible to pick out the boarder cows The man who keeps animals Of either because he wishes to or because he is not sufficiently interested to take the trouble to call them out.
 It would not be possible to ehrni- nate all the uTprof1tabie cows at one stroke as there are not enough good ones to take their places, although it might in many cases be better Tor the farmer not to keep cows rather than keep the ones that lose him money The process of elimination must Of necessity be gradual, a wedding out and a grading up. By the use of bet fer sires and the selection and use of the cows and heifers that produce suf- ficient to more than pay for their feeo and keep, an increase in the yearly in- come from the dairy herd will become and selection should go on in every herd. If more attention were given to this subject by COW owners there would be more profit in dairying.

RAISING HEiFER CALVES. Two General Plans for Reducing the
 Cost,

In a lecture during Farmers week at the University of Missouri, L. w. Wing, IT,, of the Missouri College of Agriculture, outlined two general plans for reducing the cost of producing calves. Where cream is sold he gug- gested that the calves be fed whole milk for the first two or three weeks and then gradually changed to skim milk. The whole milk should not be fed, even to the largest calf, in excess of three quarts or about six pounds. at a feed twice a day. The small calf, such as a Jersey, doez not need more than two quarts a feed. When larger amounts are given SCOUTS are apt to result. After the calf has been changed to skim milk the amount may be in- creased gradually to 14 or Is pounds a day. Such feeding should be supple mented with grain, preferably ground corn or a mixture of three parts of corn and one part of oats by weight. Calves should be allowed to nibble. hay as soon as they begin to eat grain. Timothy or mixed hay should be fed during the first two or three months Then some, legume, alfalfa, clover or

SECRETS IN SECURING LAYERS
Given by Those Who Have Had Long
 Experience.

Tom Barron writes: An egg laying strain cannot be produced by 1nbreed- ing In order for a hen to be a good producer, she must be in good health and full of vigor. Use a male that was bred from a hen that laid 200 eggs or more in a year. Breed for high aver ages instead of exceptionally high Tn dividuals. A good layer usually stands high in front and her back Is not on level, or the rear higher than the frcEt. The best producers usually have large combs, high tail and a promi- wedge shape, rather narrow m front but wide behind and wide between the legs. A hen inclined to be squirrel tailed is the best layer.
 Not always the largest hen Is the best layer: generally the smallest one.
 The heavy laying hens are those with white legs.
 A tight fearhered bird is a better layer than a loose feathered one.
 A hen that does not lay well in w4n- ter should not be used.
 As rule, the first outlets of q brood to begin laying make the best layers, and the first coclxereis to crow usually make the best breeders for egg pro- duction.
 H. A. Mckee writes: The laying hen is usually nervous and active: she has a strong appetite, evidenced by full crop at night; she is the fzst to retire at night and the first to be about in the morning; she is also late to mott in the fall; she is Distinguished by comb is usually large and the eye bright.

KNIFE ON CORNS
 CAUSES LOCKJAW
TELLS HOW TO LOOSEN A TEN DER CORN so TT LIFTS OUT
 WITHOUT PAIN

You reckless men and women who are peStered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati author ity to use a drug called freezone, which the moment few drops are applied to any corn the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out with the fingers.
 It iE a. sticky substance which dries the moment it Is applied and is said to simply shr1vel the corn without in naming or even irritating the sur rounding tissue or skin. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but is sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.
 You are further warned that cutting At a corn is a suicidal habit.
