"There are in the United States al
present more than ten million 10000,
OOO) individuals and corporations who
are able to make subscriptions to the
new liberty loan in amounts ranging
from 500 to 100000. 900 7each," says
Uncle Sans comptroller of the cur
rency.
'This estimate is conservative when
we consider that there are more than
4O,OOO,OO0 persons engaged in gainfu
occupations in this country besides the
large number of men and women
whose income is derived from their in
vestments," he continues. IF every
individual in the United States should
subscribe to the new bonds to the ex'
tent Of only per cent of his or her
total possessions, the loan will be sub
scribed to six times over.

"The reports of our national banks
Of March 5, 1917. show that on the day
named these banks had total Of 49,.
737, 1853 deposit accounts. This is an
increase of $1,449.91O since May I,
1916, when the total number Of de.
post accounts was 14,28S,O59. 1t is
significant that 1,25S,691, or seven
eighths of this increase, was reported
by the country banks, indicating the
wider diffusion Of the wealth of the
country. The total increase Of depos-
its in the national banks in this period
Of ten months was approximately two
billion dollars. The bank reports also
show that on March 5, 1917, there were
459,619 shareholders in the national
banks Of the country, including 1885,
2O4 women stockholders.
'The latest bank returns indicate
that the total resources Of the banks
Of the United States at this time, in
Guiding national banks, state banks,
trust companies, savings banks and
private banks, is approximately thirty
five billion dollars ($35,0OOOOO, O0O),
exceeding by far the greatest banking
resources ever before shown in any
country.
Fifty years ago we raised over three
(3) billion dollars to provide for the
expenses of the Civil war. The wealth
of this country today is eight times as
great as it was then; our banking re-
sources are twenty times as great as
they were then, or even as late as

and Adjutant General Tharalson with
the announcement that unless he
changes his mind he will assume the

that he can retain the office and name
a substitute, as did w. J. Prater while
serving simultaneously as secretary OF
the senate and treasurer of Burleigh

ORCHARD HINTS.

The soil should be well prepared be-
fore trees are planted in new or
chard PIOw it deep with a turning
plOw; then harrow till there are no
clods. Even after doing this it pays
to blast holes for the trees.
Experiments have shown that trees
in blasted holes grow much faster and
bear sooner than trees set where there
is hard subsOil for the roots to pene-
trate.
If blasting is not done 1t will be ad
visable to throw out the plowed soil
with shovel at the spot where a tree
is to stand and dig deep with pick,
and one should never fail to have the
ground lOOsened deep for pear trees, as
their roots grow downward more than
any other kinds of trees and often die
because of shallow holes.
When the trees are planted their tops
should be cut on about one-thlrd tue
way down This helps the roots to take
hold in the soil, shuts off much Of the
demand of the tree for elements from
the soil and goes far toward insuripg
the life and the healthfuiness of the
tree And this topping ought to be
done each year till about tke third
year.

The farm flock either improves OF de-
teriOrates from year to year accord
ing to the attention given to the mat
ing which precedes the laying Of the

All improved stock returns to the
normal or mediocre unless one con-

no standstill. The flock either goes
forward or backward in strength. 1t

that requires only a little attention to
the mating. Do it now Pick out
your breeding stock and watch the re-
suits in the next crop of chicks. No
work on the farm will pay better than

ATTENTION TO CARE OF MILK
Average Farmer Can Apply Principles
of Sanitation as Well as
Small Dairyman.

With the advent of the bacterial
count that is run on milk in larger
cities of the country, and the careful
inspection Of dairies by state officials
more attention is being paid to the
care of milk in all phases of its pro-
duction.
Although the bacterial count Is not
practical for the product of the aver
age farmer the principles of SANTA
ton can be applied by him, almost as
easily as by the small dairyman. Wash
ing the udder and teats of the cow
and drying them each time with q
clean cloth before milking is one of
the simplest. and yet most important
steps.
Reliable dairymen have said it is
impossible for clean milk to be pro-
duced if the mixer works with wet
hands. Almost invariably B. coli "a
cause of intestinal troubles1 will be
found in the milk that is gotten Un:
der such circumstances.

WORM INFESTED HORSES.
Animals Thus Afflicted Soon Get Out
~ of Condition.


Many horses get out Of condition or
fail to make gains during the winter
months because they are infested with
worms This is especially true of colts.
Horses suffering from worms generally
have good appetite, but apparently
benefit little from the food eaten.
There may be no symptoms which
point conclusively to worms, but this
trouble is so common that if the colts
and horses are not doing as we'll as
they should for the feed given, a worm
remedy may prove of decided value. In
treating horses for worms DIR. l.. 5.
Backus of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture suggests it is well to keep i'll
mind that the drug is meant for the
worm rather than the horse and should
therefore be given in as concentrated a
form as possible. To insure this little
or no bulky food should be fed during
the course of treatment, and as the
parasites are stupefied by worm rene
dies rather than killed the animals
bowels should be kept in an active con-
dition so that the stupetied worms may
be passed out before they regain their
vitality. A well salted bran mash once
