THRESHING MACHINE
REAL MONEY LOSER
Outfit is q Jonah" because Owners
Fail to Take Into Account Wear
Tear

If there ever was a business that
has been conducted in a haphazard,
hit-or-miss fashion, it is that of
threshing. Perhaps that is one rea-
son responsible for the old saying
that the man who owns a threshing
rig has good start towards the poor
house. The great trouble has been
that few owners of threshing rigs
really knew the costs of operation
such as unkeep, interest, deprecia-
ton and other items that must be
reckoned.
The Minnesota Brotherhood of
Threshermen has made careful and
painstaking survey of the field in

pose of giving the general farm, or
the beef-cattle farm, something of
the advantage in the matter of ma
nure saving held by the intensive
dairy farm. 1t has been shown by
farm management surveys that the
manure saved on the American farm
under present conditions is almost
exactly proportional to the number
of animals stall fed on the farm and
that the manure of animals not sta
bled has very little effect on yields,
except in cases where field crops are
'hogged off, or otherwise pastured
down, or where pasture is used in a
rotation.
This great war has brought home
to us Americans, as it has never been
emphasized before, the fact that we
are the worlds champion MASTERS.
Without making any comparisons,
and subject to correction if it can
be shown that the facts are other
wise, dare aver that our million
dollar manure waste is the worlds
greatest single economic leak-the
prize was of the champion wastrels.
With commercial fertilizers scarce,
and some of them almost unobtain-
able, it would seem we'll worth our
while, in this juncture, even with
out any reference to war conditions,
to do everything within our power
to stem this tide of loss, especially

MARRIAGE MARKET HIT
HARD BY WAR IN ITALY
Period in 1915 Showed GG,OOO, as
Against $4,000 in 19l3-Emigra-
tion Almost Stopped

ROME, May 81. Statistics Just pub
hshed by the Government give some inter-
esting and eloquent figures concerning the
influence Of war on the number of mar
rtages, births and deaths
The figures regarding the number of
marriages cover only the last six months of
the years from 1913 to 1915. From July
10 December, 1913. 12l,0G5 marriages were
recorded. This number decreased TO los. 600
during the same period in 1914 and fell to
$500 in the last six months Of 1915, after
Italy intervened In the war
Notwithstanding the large number Of
bloody engagements at the Italian front, the
number Of deaths in the last six months
OF 1915 are not impressively superior to
that OF 1914. In fact, while frCru July to
December. 1914, the number Of deaths was
Sl2,Ss2, In 1915, after seven months OF CON
slant hghting they had increased only 70
3BS.9s2
The figures so far received from every
province In the kingdom indicate that war
mas had marked effect on the number Of
births, During the last three months Of
1915, 25i.O0O births were registered against
2SO,OOO In the same period Of 1914.
Emigration has suffered mere than any
thing else, chiefly on account Of the fact
that late In 1914 a decree was issued pro-
hibiting the emigration Of all men still
subject TO military duties that is men from
eighteen to thirty-nine years Of age. Early
IN 1915 another decree was issued and emf
grafton further restricted.
During the first three months OF 1914
there left for both European and transat-
lantic countries 100000 emigrants; 1872, 900
In the second three months, and only $4,000
in the third quarter. In 1856 the average
departures every three months were about
