Former Jail Mate of Russian Leader Tells of Meeting Him on

NEW YORK, Aug. 25, (By MaiD.- 'I know Kerensbey. l was his jail mate at Samara"

POTATOES WILL BE CHEAPER

The Office of Information, of the Department of Agruculture, authoriz- es the following:
 The huge potato crop, which the forecast made by the Department of Agriculture indicates will be produced in the United States this year means that this important food staple will be cheaper and makes it possible for American families that had to cut down on potato consumption because of high prices to restore the tuber to a prominent place on their bill of fare.
 The department forecast, based on reliable estimates from all parts of the country, places the total potato yield at more than 467OOO,OOO bushels, as compared with 2S5,O ,OOO,OOO in 1916 and 2GOOOOOOO in 1915. Potatoes of the current season are already in the market in large quantities, and, since the early harvested tubers can not be kept easily, should be eaten more abundantly now if spoilage is to be avoided.

SOUND PRECAUTIONS
FOR NEW BEEKEEPER
Careless and Nervous Handling
Will Cause Trouble in Any
CoIony-Study Habits.

(By LEONARD HASEMAN, Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture.)
To the beginning beekeeper, his first
attempt to open the hive and handle
the combs and bees may be beset with
some difficulties, but in time this be-
comes the most fascinating part of bee
keeping. Study the bees, their habits,
nature, likes and dislikes, and then ac-
custom yourself to their ways. The
honey bee is not a vicious creature,
and If given anything like the consid-
GRAFTON 1t deserves it will not fight.
Careless and nervous handling will
start trouble in any bee colony. A
veil should be worn to protect the face.
Cool smoke should be used sparingly
at the entrance and under the cover as
it is being gently raised. Smoke may
be used to induce the workers to fill
their honey stomachs with honey. In
this condition they are less likely to
sting. Pinching bees between the
fingers invites trouble, as it is their
privilege and nature to resent such
careless treatment. The warm part of
the Jay, MI0u luc MOIhCIS dOllNCly
gathering nectar or pollen is the best
time to handle the colony, for at such
times there are fewer bees I'm the hive,
and those present are more docile.
The brood chamber should not be
opened when the weather is cold If it
can be avoided, for the queen and the
brood may become chilled.
These are a few of the precautions
which the beginning beekeeper in par
ticular should keep in mind. A careful
study of the bee and its life and habits
and little effort to adjust ones ac-
tions to those of the bees will soon
make beekeeping both an interesting
and profitable pursuit. Every farmer
should produce his own supply of
honey by keeping and properly caring
for few stands of bees.

New Machine Gun Tripod.

Light in weight, free from the eff
fects of vibration and permitting Of
rapid and free movement of the gun
in any direction, a recently perfected
type of machine gun tripod promises
to extend the field Of the present wea-
pom. This tripod is provided with
ball and socket joint head, permitting
the gun to be freely moved in any d.
rection. To lock the gun a lever Is
given a slight turn, while the gun may
be held at any angle in the clamp In
which 1t rests. The new tripod can be
readily carried about and 1t is an ideal
weapon for use in motorcar or mo

provided, the calf can be weaned ear,
lier; also the stronger and more vigor-
Gus the calf the earlier it can be
weaned. On the other hand, the more
valuable the calf the more expense the
owner is warranted in developing it
and the later it probably will be
weaned. If skim or separated milk is
plentiful, calves may be fed profitably
until eight or ten months old.
When the calf is in its second week,
it should begin to receive grain, aud
when one month old it should eat about
half pound a day. After this time the
quantity of grain may be gradually in
creased, feeding all that the calf will
eat until three pounds day is reached,
probably during the third month. Grain
! fed to supplement separated milk
should never be mixed with the milk.
1t is questionable whether the prepara-
ton of grain in any way, such as soak
ing or boiling, is advisable under most
circumstances.
Wheat bran is eaten readily by
young calves. Corn has an excellent
physiological effect and to a great ex-
| tent may take the place Of fat removed
from skim or separated milk. Expert
ments tend to show that corn fed to
| calves should be cracked rather than
| finely ground. Ground oats are good in
grain mixtures when available, but IN
many cases cost much more per unit
Of feed than corn and bran. The fol-
lowing grain mixtures are recommend
ed in the bulletin:
(1) Three parts cracked corn and one
part wheat bran.
(2) Three parts cracked corn, one
part wheat bran, and one part ground
| oats.
(3) Three parts cracked corn, one
part wheat bran, one part ground oats,
and one part linseed meal.
az Five parts cracked corn, one part
wheat bran, one part ground oats, and
one part blood meal.
(5) Oats, ground.
Feed PaIatabIe Roughage.
Glover hay, alfalfa hay, or the most
palatable roughage available should be
given the calf after the second week.
Alfalfa is liable to cause scours, and
should be fed sparingly at first and in
creased only after the calf gets accus-
| toned to it. At first. hay should be
furnished only in a handful at time
and be placed so that it cannot be
soiled. For the first six months, at
| least, the calf should receive all the
roughage of good quality that it will
eat up clean. When the calf has access
to good pasture during the first six
months, 1t need not receive other
roughage. 1t is not advisable, however,
to have the calf under two months of
age on pasture in the early spring.

Crusaders Doctrine

There is an old story of the Method
LIST chaplain of an Ohio regiment in
the Civil war who was accounted q
deadly rifle shot, and who gloried in
his prowess. The men who fought be-
hind him told that, after he had pulled
the trigger, he always muttered while
reloading, "May the Lord have mercy
on your SOUL" A chaplain such as he
must necessarily have deserved the re-
spect of those to whose spiritual needs
he ministered. One cannot question
that he was popular with his fellows.
Now comes an Indiana chaplain
with his bid for fame. II won't force
religion on my boys when we get to
France" he said when he was sworn
In. "It's all up to them. If they can
fight Germans and get away with it,
that will s6ver multitude of SINS"
Here is the church militant with a

There Is no doctrine older than that
preached by this Indiana clergyman.

trine, no matter which side you take.

Wars Greatest Sufferers.

1t is they who bear the main burden
Uf the suffering in this war. In our
streets and open spaces and all along
the roads, in our churches, In our
towns and villages, in every house, we
come into contact with mothers who
have lost their sons or are living in an
anguish more cruel than the certainty
Of death, writes Maurice Maeterlinck
in the London Daily Mail.
Let us try to understand their loss.
They knoY what 1t means, but they do
not tell the men. Their son is taken
from them at the fairest moment of
his life, when their own is in it's de-
cline. When a child dies In infancy
it is as though mis- soul had hardly
gone, as though 1t were lingering near
the mother who brought it into the
world, awaiting the time when 1t may
return in a new form. The death which
visits the cradle is not the same which
now spreads terror over the earth, but
a son who dies at twenty does not
come back again and leaves not
CLEAN of hope behind him.

KING OF YEGGMEN
Title Won by Old Bob as Result
of Clever Tricks.
Expert Criminal Fooled Jailers by
Carrying Saws in What Appeared
to Be Pocket Pieces.

In the underworld the yegg was an
expert. Old Bob, king of yeggs, invent
ed, it is said, the pocket piece method
Of carrying saws. 1t was a clever
trick when he first brought 1T into ex-
istence, writes Melville D. Post in the
Saturday Evening Post. When the au-
thorities at a local prison, county
Jail or station house searched the pris-
oner they would find an old trade dol
lar or worn five-franc piece in his
possession. The criminal would ask
the authorities to permit him to keep
1t because it belonged to some men,
Der of his family-his mother, his fa-
Their or some imaginary child that had
cut his teeth on the metal edge in some
imaginary former happy home. 1t was
line of what the underworld calls
soft stuff, and the prisoner was usually
able to put it over at the country jail.
He was allowed to take the coin into
the cell with him; what danger could
there be in worn pocket piece treas
ured for its memories?
There were all kinds of dangers in
1t. The faces OF the coin screwed to-
gether on delicate threads, and the in
terror was filled with tiny saws of the
best material. Fora long time through
this device the clever criminal was
able to get about with a fair equip
ment of saws always in his possession.
1t was for no slight accomplishments
that this man was known to the subter-
ranean world as the king of the yeggs.
1t was Old Bob, we are told, who in
vented the system of planting saws
about In the various prisons that he
might again be unfortunate enough to
enter. His method was clever and In
genious. Kindly religious people en-
deavor to reform criminals by sending
tracts and literature to the local
prison. The yegg inaugurated the habit
of FASTING these moral dissertations on
the wall of the cell. The custom
pleased the well-meaning people and it
could not be very well objected to by
the prison authorities. 1t was also
useful tosthe yeggmen!
The little sermons were glued to the
wah with sirup usually a staple of
the prisoners diet. A thin saw of the
best quality was thereby held in place
for the benefit of the yeggman If he
should ever by chance return that way,
or for the benefit of any member of the
gang who might happen to be picked
up by the police. 1t was long time
before the authorities discovered this
trick, and then they found the local
prisons of the country to be cached
with the handy burglar tool.

pals should be scalded thoroughly
with boiling water, or sterilized with
steam if possible.
Milk from cows having commune
cable disease, as tuberculosis, should be
pasteurized Cheated to 145 degrees
Fahrenheit and held at that tempera-
ture for 80 minutes) before it is fed
to calves. Separated milk from
creamery also should be pasteurized,
because it is practically impossible to
know that such milk is free from infec-
tiOn.
Better results are obtained by feed
ing young calves three times a day,
with the periods between feeding as
nearly equal as possible. When fed in
this way the calf does not overload it's
stomach, and the digestion of the feed
is more evenly distributed throughout
the "a hours. Regularity in feeding is
important. When calves are fed but
twice a day the feeding should be as
nearly as possible IL hours apart.
Amount of Milk for Calf.
At birth a 50-pound calf should have
about eight pounds Of whole milk
day. while a 100-pound one should have
about twelve pounds. For the first four
days milk from the dam should be fed,
then that from any of the other COWS in
the herd, preferably not from any that
are nearly dry. Milk containing not
more than per cent butterfat is con-
sidered best.
At the beginning of the third week
either skim or separated milk may be
substituted for whole milk at the rate
of one pound day. The daily ration
may be increased from two to four
pounds, depending upon the vigor OF
the calf. When the calf does not drink
eagerly what is offered, the quantity
should be cut down. The ration at the
end of the third week usually should be
approximately one-half whole and one
half separated milk. During the fourth
week the change should be continued
until by the end of the week only sep
arated milk is fed, unless the calf is
very delicate. With especially vigor-
Gus calves the change to sep
arated milk can be made about a week
earlier. The quantity fed can be in
creased gradually to Is to 20 pounds a
day.
Time for WEAVING.
Six months is probably good aver
age age at which to wean calves from
milk. The age depends upon the cost
of the milk in relation to the value of
the calf, its breed, size, vigor, etc. The
season of the year and the other feeds
available also must be considered.
When the best of hay, silage and a
good variety of grains are available, or
when good, succulent pasturage can be

Feeding the calf should begin before
1t is born, says Farmers Bulletin III,
"Feeding and Management of Dairy
Calves and Young Dairy Stock" re-
Gently issued by the United States de.
partment of agriculture. Poorly nour-
ished cows give birth to weak, puny
calves which are hard to raise. Cows
which have an abundance of palatable
and succulent feed and are in good
flesh and healthy, thrifty condition at
calving time are more likely to pro-
duce well-developed, strong and sturdy
calves, which will respond normally to
proper feed and care.
The calf should always receive it's
mothers milk at first, as the coloStrum,
or first milk, stimulates the calf's
stomach and other digestive organs to
action. Most dairymen prefer to keep
the calf with the cow for about forty
eight hours Immediately after birth. 1t
may be best to allow a weak calf or one
that does not gain strength readily to
remain a longer time, but it is some
times difficult to teach the calf to drink
after sucking the cow for time, and
serious trouble may result from it's fail
ure to obtain food.
Cleanliness Essential.
Successful raising of calves requires
absolute cleanliness. Calf pens should
always be kept clean and be supplied
with plenty Of dry bedding. Discarded
feed should be removed from the feed
boxes, which should be thoroughly
brushed and cleaned each day. All
milk fed should be fresh and clean,
which is true also Of other feeds. Milk
