The Clothing Market of Today.

The Clothing Market of Today.
Editor Review:
l have just returned from short
visit to Chicago, the great central
market, and l here found conditions
even worse than l expected. My hur-
ried! trip to the city was not so much
to- buy merchandise, although l
bought some, but it was more on &C.
count of looking after my contracts
made four or five months ago. / re-
manned until I saw some of my mer-
chandise packed and shipped. and in
most cases the c. l.. Ducander store
owns this merchandise at from 20 to
SO per cent less than present market
prices. Lucky indeed are the mer-
chants who have had foresight enough
to place their orders early, because
those who will have to buy their spring
merchandise now will not be able to
compete with those who own their
stocks at the lover figure.
Some of us think that prices have
reached their limit, others are of the
opinion that all cotton goods, woolens,
Sllhs, eIC., Will SIlll 20 CONSIDERABLY
higher before the inevitable tumble
comes. But number of fundamental
economic forces and laws make certain
tendencies inevitable which ever way
the great world conflict leads. Plans
are now being made by the largest
clothing manufacturers in the country
for a complete reconstruction of their
business along lines to conform with
the new standard of costs of all mate
rails which enter into the making of
mems garments. These new cost
standards will, in the majority of in
Stances, take effect with the fall seas

WOULD TREAT ALL ALIKE.

There is seldom presented to the
house more comprehensive and pains
taking report than that prepared by
CONGRESSMAN George 8. Graham OF
Pennsylvania, prominent member OF
the judiciary committee, on the long
.evfty pay claims Of army officers. IN
his report Mr.. Graham points out that
owing to the conflicting decisions OF
various comptrollers. Of the treasury,
and the refusal of some of those OIL
cials to be bound by a decision OF the
supreme court, directing that longevity
BAY Of army officers should be based
on their service, including their term
at West Point or in the ranks, many
officers received their proper allow
ance while a large number OF others
were refused, depending on the par
ticular time when their claims were
filed. Mr.. Graham asserts that 1T Is
the, duty of the United States to pay
these officers what is due them" Al
ter laborious research Mr.. Graham
compiled list of the officers affected
BY the legislation, which was append
ed to the document.

HOW TO KILL oUAck GRASS

Weeds on Farm Of e. Bowman W.

DEATH" neighbors said when, two
years ago, Erick Bowman bought his
200 acre farm near Thompson, Winnie
bago county. That farm each year
grew the choicest crop of quack grass
in the vicinity. 1t couldn't be killed,
folks said. -..
Bowman, bougth the farm. He hasn't
gone broke. He hasn't starved. Last
year he grew an average of 81 bushels
of corn per acre ON a SO acre field,
which was formerly green with quack
grass. Bowman's receipt for getting
rid of quack grass calls for spring
blowing and proper, cultivation.
"The farm was overrun with quack
grass when l came" he writes the ag.
ricultural extension department at
Iowa State college. But / went after
it and won. First, the ground must be
we'll drained, for quack is a wet
weather crop. Start to get it when
you pillow. Spring blowing is best. Fall
blowing allows it to start again by

gets the grass that is near the surface.
Then drag it for the planter and get
the corn in the ground as soon as pos
sible. l never drag the field after l
have planted the corn, wait until
the corn is about to come through the
ground, then l cultivate, following the
planter marks. This keeps the quack

the ground. About three days after
dragging l am able to follow the corn
rows. Then start in to pillow the corn
and keep at it until the rows are about
shaded. Since quack grass can't live
| without air it soon dies. You must
put the ground to corn for about three
years and keep after the grass each
year. Some grass may come up in the
hills where it is very bad, but proper
cultivation year after year will finally
get it." :

TESTING EGGS FOR FERTILITY

An egg, whether impregnated or
not, has a small grayish spot on the
surface of the yolk, known as the ger
minal spot" AS soon as fertile egg
is placed under a hen, or in an incu-
bator, development begins. All eggs
should be tested at least twice during
the period of incubation, preferably
on the seventh and fourteenth days,
and the infertile eggs and dead germs
removed. White eggs can be tested
on the fourth or fifth days while the
development in eggs having brown
shells often cannot be seen by the use
of an ordinary egg, tester until the
seventh day. Deadt germs soon de-
cay and give off bad odor if allowed
to remain under the hen. 1nfertile
eggs make good feed for young chick
ems, and are often used in the home
for culinary purposes. Most incubator
companies furnish testing chimneys
with their machines which will lit any
ordinary lamp. Electric or gas lamps
may be used in box with a hole.
slightly smaller than an egg cut in
the side of the box and at the same
level as the light. They may also be
tested by sunlight, or daylight, using
q shutter or curtain with q small hole
in it for the light to shine thru.
A good home made egg tester, or
Gambler, can be made with a large
shoe box, or any box that is large
enough to go over a lamp by removing
the end and cutting a hole little
larger than the size of a quarter in
the bottom of the box, so that when
it is set over a kerosene lamp, the
hot will hn 0nnnCifa
the blaze. A hole the size of silver
dollar should be cut in the top OF the
box to allow the heat to escape.
The eggs are tested with the large
end up so that the size of the air cell
may be seen as well as the condition
of the, embryo. The testing should
take place in dark room. The infer.
tile egg when held before the small
hole with the lamp lighted inside the
box viii look perfectly Hlear, the
same as fresh one, while fertile
egg will show small darkS spot,
known as the embryo, with mass OF
little blood veins extending in all dir
ections, if the embryo is living; II
dead, and the egg has been incubated
for at least 46 hours, the blood settles
away from the embryo toward the
edges of the yolk, forming in some
cases an irregular circle Of blood,
known as the blood ring. Eggs vary
in this respect, some showing only
streak of blood. All infertile eggs
should be removed at the first test.
The eggs containing strong living en-
bryo are dark and well filled up on the
Fourteenth day, and show clear, sharp
distinct line of demarcation between
the air cell and the growing embryo,
while dead germs show only partial
development, and lack this clear, dis
tinct outline.

PLANS FOR ECONOMY.

The seven republicans OF the house
committee on mines gave unqualified
support to a measure reported just
before the adjournment of congress
designed to effect real economies in
the executive departments. The bill
provided that hereafter the coal pur-
chased for the government, which
amounts to about 100000 annually,
exclusive of the navy department,
should be bought under the supervis-
ion of the bureau of mines. At pres
ent each department looks after its
coal supply independently of the 9TH
ers, the result being that much extrav-
agance creeps in.

EVENLY DIVIDED STILL.

The death of Representative Sullo-
way of New Hampshire restores the
equilibrium of the two parties in the
house to PA each. 1t means, too. the
loss of valuable and experienced leg
islator whose republicanism was
staunch and unwavering. 1t does not,
however, affect the problem of organ
izing congress because the balance of
power is left just where it was-in
the hands of the group of five indie
pendents. These members will not act
as a unit. That much is sure. The
present proba bilities are that three of
them are more inclined to aid the re-
Dublicans than the democrats.

mild Weather. Fire Save. Coal.

It's not hard matter to maintain a
mild weather" fire in the furnace if
you know how, says the head of the
engineering extension department at
Iowa State college. The secret lies in
keeping dep bed Of ashes above the
CRATES with more shallow bed of live
Goals. Shake but once a day, in the
morning. Remember, however, that
the top of the fire should be kept level
with the bottom of the firing door, or
nearly so, at all times. That is, the
thickness of the fire should be varied
with the weathes, not by raising and
lowering the top of the fire, but by
raising and lowering the bottom of
the fire.
