A SLICE OF BREAD

Washington, May 7. - A single
of bread seems an unimportant thing
In many households one or more
slices of bread daily are thrown away
and not used for human food. Some
times stale quarter-or half-loaves
are thrown out.
Yet one good-sized slice of bread
such as a child likes to cut-weighs
an ounce. It contains almost ga of
an ounce of flour.
If every one of the country's 90
100000 homes wastes on the average
only one such slice of bread a day,

CAUSES BIG MONEY LOSS.
Baseball Men Say Bad Weather has
Lost Them About 100000.


New York, May THE weather
man has cost organized baseball about
$1,000 so far this season, and the
clubs, have played about three weeks.
So far this season there have been
% National League games postponed
since the season started. The Amerl-
can League records are not available
but it is likely that their nonplaylns
dates are equally as large as those
of the other major league.
This means that over fifty games
have been called off. The majority OF
maenates figure that postponement
is loss of $4,000 to them. Some
figure it higher; but in any event it
means a loss of more than 100000.

SUMMER FORAGE FOR SWINE
Difficult to Have Other Green Feed.

(By W. R DODSON. Director of Expert
 ment Station, Louisiana State Univer-
 sity)
 The sweet sorghums make a very ac- ceptable forage for hogs in the early summer. coming at a time when it is sometimes difficult to have other green feed Sorghums are most serviceable for grazing during May, June and early July.
 The results of experiments at the Louisiana station have not indicated the high value of sorghums as graz ing or sOiling crop for hogs they are reputed to have In fact, we do not place a very high value on them, and commend their use only as make shift. The only strong points in their favor are that they give quick returns, and may be had about the time winter crops are not sufficiently matured for best service.
 The Early Amber, Tarly Orange or Coleman are to be preferred. Any of these may be sown in drills as soon as danger of frost is passed, though growth will not be rapid until warm weather prevails. The middle of March to the first of April Is ordinarily good time to plant sorghum. However, the crop may be planted as late as the first of August. When sown in drills, with rows of three and half feet apart. it takes about twelve pounds per acre to give a thick stand. It is best to plant the seed thick so the stalks will be small.
 The crop should be well cultivated until 1t is about two feet high, if it is to be grazed, or as conditions may re quire, if 1t is to be soiled. Planted in early spring. the sorghums will ma ture in about no to 120 days.

HOGS ARE GOOD MONEY CROP
Increased Interest Being Taken In Swine Industry.

CBy L W. CARPENTER, Mississippi Ex.
 pertinent Station.)
 Due to the recent boom in pork pro duction. more people are going into the hog business than ever before This is accounted for by several fac tors. the greatest doubtless being the splendid work of the county agents in securing a market for the small breed. CT through cooperative shipping Since learning the prices to be ex. pected on the central markets many men who started out by shipping five or ten hogs along with their neighbors' shipments are now preparing to ship in carload lots. Other factors In the growth of the hog industry are the pig club work. and the failure of the cot ton crop causing the farmer to raise hogs as the next best cash crop.
 To get the best results in hog raising rotation of pasture and forage crops must be planted to furnish grazing the year round, and it is essential that a good supply of feed be assured before buying or breeding the hogs. The boar. too, should be the best available, this point often being the factor that de- termines success or failure in, pork production. Pigs sired by a good boar will grow better in the feed lot and bring a premium on the market. And last, but not least, the most success full men carefully outline plans, get. ting the criticisms of experienced men and adhering to schedule after having secured the best available information on the subject.

WRITERS BEHIND THE TIMES
Complaint Made That They Have Taken No cognizanee of Changes
 Occurring in Dialects.

When Joseph Vance, of whom De Morgan wrote book. was boy in London. the lcral dialect was like this:
 Hes a-goin' for to fight Mir. Gum beyont the Pinnerforty works. and you better look sharp if you want for to see anythink."
 Vance went away to South Amer ica and returned after many years to find the jargon altered to this pat tern:
 Tt (the noise) was a lidy with a biby fighting another lidy and 10th was took off to the Stytion."
 All American dialects have changed in 50 years as that of London did, with the possible exception of the tongue spoken in the southern Appa- lachian country. Yet, to judge by American comic papers and the gen tlemen of the stage, our dialects are as immutable as the stars. They change no more than the faces of great cliffs.
 Why would 1t not be 2 good idea to appoint a committe, to wait on editors of humorous periodicals and the writers of plays and point out to them politely that they speak the Ian guage of people long in their graves and supersededf-To Blade.

IA DIFFERENCE IN
 | THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof.
 its Are Away in Excess.

Mir. George H. Barr. of Iowa. holds seven sections of land in Saskatche- wan. These he has fenced and rent. ed. either for pasture or cultivation, all paying good interest on the invest ment.
 Mir. Barr says that farm land at home in Iowa Is held at Sl50 per acre. These lands are in high state of cul- tivation. with splendid improvements in houses, barns. stables and silos, and yet, the revenue returns from them are only from two to three per cent per annun on investment.
 Last year, 1915, his half share of crop on a quarter section ir Saskatche- wan. wheat on new breaking. gave him 35 per cent on the capital invested S25.00 an acre. The crop yield was 35 bushels per acre. This year the same Quarter-section, sown to Red Fife on stubble gave 3,2S6 bushels. His share, 1.6i3 bushels of Northern at s1.5G per bushel, gave him S2.563.oS. Seed. half the twine and half the threshing bill cost him Si53.00. Allow ing a share of the expense of his an- nual inspection trip, charged to this quarter-sectien even to S11000. and he has left S2,OO0.OO, that is 50 per cent of the original cost of the land. Any one can figure up that another aver age crop will pay, not 2 or 3 per cent on investment, as in Iowa, but the total price of the land. Mir. Barr says That's no joke now"
 Mir. Barr was instrumental in bring ing a number of farmers from Iowa to Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to one of them, Geo. H. Kerton, a tenant farmer in Iowa. He bought quarter section of improved land at S32.o0 an acre near Hanley. From proceeds of crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid for the land. Mir. Barr asked him a week ago: "Weli. George, what shall I tell friends down home for your The reply was: ''Tell them shall never go back to be tenant for any man." Another man. Charles Haight, realized S1S,OOO in cash for his wheat crops in 1915 and 1916.
 Mir. Barr when at home devotes most of his time to raising and deal ing in live stock. On his first visit of inspection to Saskatchewan, he real ized the opportunity there was here for grazing cattle. So his quarter sections, not occupied, were fenced and rented as pasture lands to farm CTS adjoining. His creed is: Let na' ture supply the feed all summer while cattle are growing, and then in the fall, take them to farmsteads to be finished for market. There is money in it."-Advertisement.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS
 OFF WITH FINGERS How to loosen . tender corn or eaIIus so it lifts out
 without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter; l; wear shoes a size smaller if you like, for corns will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according to this Cincinnati authority.
 He says that a few drops of drug called freezone, applied directly upon ! tender, aching corn, instantly re- lieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out.
 This drug dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without even irritating the surrounding skin.
 A small bottle of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
 If your druggist hasn't stocked this new drug yet, tell him to get a small bottle of freezone for you from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

What k Uric cAcid |?

Everyone has uric acid in the system, but naturally in small quantities. Ex- cessive amount is caused by eating too much meat and foods that ferment in stomach. The kidneys, being the filters of the blood, are supposed to separate and throw the poisons out of the system. Weak, tired and overworked kidneys fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu. mulates and the urate salts are carried by the blood to the solid tissue structure. causing backache, lumbago, rheuma- tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired feeling.
 To overcome the trouble is only . matter of toning up the kidneys, and this is best done by . treatment with Anuric, three times day. Anuric is recent discovery of Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.,
 Experience taught Doctor Pierce that Anuric is . more powerful agent than
 ithia in dissolving uric scid, and C ts then carried out of the system.

VELVET BEAN MEAL FOR COW
Fierida Station Finds Feed Equal Ia Value to cottonseed MealL
 Cheaper to RaIse.

Hence 4.3 pounds of velvet beans in the pod were fully equal to pounds of cottonseed meal The station further states that the Florida farmer can produce about five tons of velvet beans for the cost of one ton of cOttonseed meal.
 The state market agent has received reports that velvet beans in the pod can be procured at S14 per ton in Ala bama and In GeorEia.-Clemsoa Col lege Bulletin
