THOSE WHO ARE GUARANTEED
PROFIT.

1t is evident that the government as
sumes that the farmers of the United
States are bit more patriotic than any
other class. In other lines of industry
contracts are being made for necessary
government work by which the contract
ors are paid actual costs plus 10 per cent
profit The farmers are being asked to
work as they have never worked before,
but they have no government insurance
against unfavorable weather, insect pests
and an inflated scale of wages. With the
farmers it is gamble against a chap who
uses loaded dice. The shipbuilder, the
munitions maker, the army contractor,
are all sure of fair profit, while the
farmer may think himself fortunate if he
breaks even. 1t would seem that the
least the government can do is to make it
possible for the farmers to sell their prod
ucts without the Intervention of selfish
middlemen and rapacious spectators.

CORN FLOUR.

The milling of corn flour-not meal
will begin on an extensive scale in Kan
sas City and a number of Kansas mills
this fall. Two Kansas City and two
Kansas mills have built additions fol-
corn flour machinery which will give
them each an output of 900 barrels day.
and number of other mills have ar
ranged for an output Of 100 to 200 bar
rels day.
The belief of the millers is that the
scarcity of wheat calls for very large
use of corn flour Mixed corn and wheat
flour in the proportion of one of corn tc
two parts of wheat flour makes very
palatable and nutritious bread. It is ex-
pected that the mixed flour will have a
large foreign demand.
ALI indications so far are for very
large corn crop this fall and the cheaI
corn flour will lower the cost of breae
materially. The process of milling thu
corn is very similar to the wheat milling
process and the product is almost as fin,
as the wheat flour, with rich, yellowisf
color

GRAIN FOR THE SKIM MILK CALF.

Whole milk is natures balanced ration
for the calf, and it should be fed during
the first two weeks of the calf's life.
Whole milk, however, is too expensive
for prolonged calf feeding, because the
tat it contains is worth approximately
40 cents pound
In view of this price, it is advisable to
sell the fat and feed skim milk with a
substitute for butterfat, The chief office
of fat in the calf's rations is to supply
heat to the body. When the fat is re-
moved and skim milk is fed, the energy
can be supplied more economically in the
form of grain.
Protein is also expensive, but absolute
ly essential to development of the calf S
body. None of the growth producing
proteins are removed by skimming the
milk.
When calf is about two weeks old it
may be taught to eat grain. If it is with
older calves it will take grain without
any special attention. Otherwise, it
may be started to eating by rubbing a
small amount of corn meal or bran on it's
nose In licking its muzzle, the calf will
develop an appetite for the grain, The
grain may be kept constantly before the
calf for few days: Three parts cracked
corn 81 corn meal and one part wheat
bran is good mixture. To this, one
part oats may be added if desired. Lin
seed meal or blood meal may also be add
ed in small quantities, but neither is nee
essary.
The grain should be given in the dry
form after the skim milk has been fed.
After the calf is old enough to eat grain
freely, it should be fed at regular inter-
walls. During the first two months the
grain taken will be less than one pound a
day This should be gradually increased
so that at the age of six months. when
the calf is weaned, about two pounds will
be taken daily.
When only a few days of age, the
calves will begin to nibble hay if it is
within reach. 1t is preferable to feed
timothy for the first two or three months,
after which alfalfa or clover hay will
give better satisfaction.

WOMAN's WORK.

"Women's labor in factories and mills
abroad is feeding the soldiers and homes
of Europe. We must prepare for that
condition in America. Even now women
are being engaged to fill mems places in
the industries. 1t is well for US to pre-
pare for the protection and development
of women workers. America calls for a
training which will give her working
women not only the capacity to adapt
themselves to the changes that are going
on around us, but the power to shape and
direct them. After centuries of discrim-
nation women are coming into the labor
and festival of life ON equal terms with
men. Canada, Russia, America and even
England will have enfranchised woman
hood when this war is over" These re-
marks are part of the speech made by
Mrs. Raymond Robins at the Convention
of the National Women's Trade Union

PRACTICAL AND SANE.

Following the call of the woman's COM
mittee of the national defense council for
women TO abandon 'style," Mrs. Walter
Miller, vice-president of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association,
sent word to all it's branches urging
''saner garments"
''Sanity in styles means less frequent
changes in styles and greater durability
in garments" Mrs. Miller said. even
women of leisure are not ashamed to
utilize the palmer garments business
women have adopted We will set a
fashion of simplicity and a example of
economy that will show results"
Mrs. Miller says any woman who dis
regards the slogan of abandon styles
at this time sis a slave"

WONDERFUL LITTLE BIRD.
Has Made Trip to Boston and Back on
Maine Central Train.


Somewhere in the vicinity of Rich
mond, Me-, there is little bird which,
could it find its way back to Bangor, would
be the envy of all bird kind in that city
because of an experience during the past
two days, the little thing having made
the trip to Boston and back in one Of the
mail cars which are hauled over the lines
of the Maine Central and Boston &
Maine. Mr.. Bird boarded one of the
mail cars attached to train 1902 at Bangor
Wednesday afternoon and when the train
pulled out for Boston at 1.50 he was still
on board. He was not a very sociable
bird and securing safe place in the top
of the car he contented himself with
watching the clerks in the car sorting
the mail. In this way he went to Boston.
He made no effort to leave the car and
when the car was attached to Train II,
the afternoon express due to reach Au-
gusta at 245 on it's way to Bangor, he
Just kept quiet, perhaps hoping that he
would reach his home and family in Ban
gor all right. But the little fellow was
not destined to reach Bangor, for the
clerks in the mail car, thinking probably
that he had eaten nothing since he left
Bangor Wednesday afternoon, secured
some bird feed and then catching the
bird, tried to make him eat, but that
would not do, for he would not eat, and
fearing that the little traveller would
starve, the clerks opened the car door
about the time that the car reached Rich
mond and let the bird CO. He did not APP
pear to be frightened, and when one of
the clerks gave him toss from the Car
doorway, he lost no time in flying to the
nearest tree and alighting in it's branches,
from which he doubtless watched in Won
der the departure of his late unusual con-
veyance. From the description given of
the bird by the mail clerks it is probable
that the little fellow was one of the fam
lily of flycatchers
