BY LUCY, IN HOME AND FARM

The first and I think the most i'm
portant thing for US to do to have a
happy home, is to have religion in our
own hearts. God pity the child with
prayerless parents.
Then we should try to raise our dear
children up in the way our Heavenly
Father would have them.
We can't have happy home without
love, contentment and cheerfulness.
We should watch our own tempers and
try to cultivate habit of cheerful
ness.
1t is our duty as parents to try to
take care of our health and cultivate
our minds and teach the children the
same, for no one can be what they
could be with poor health and q
starved mind.
Children should be taught to respect
the parents and never should be al
lowed to wilfully disobey them.
Have them to love and respect each
other. What is sweeter than to see
brothers and sisters devoted to each
other? Our prayer should be that God
:, will care for us and our darlings and
keep us from the snares and pitfalls
in the way. Don't let the children get
selfishness in them, for no home can
be happy with such children in them.
Teach them that one way to bring
happiness to a home is by trying to
bring it to others. Teach them the
value of kind word or even a smile.

cement, two of sand, and four of
screened gravel. A pit of this kind is
large enough to hold the accumulation
of manure on the average farm until
such a time as it can be hauled con-
veniently to the field and spread.
ANOTHER WAY
"Ancther good way to save manure.
especially in the case of hogs or of beef
cattle, is to have concrete paved feed
lol pr eferably under a shed roof. Where
the farmer can not afford a paved floor,
a cheap open feeding shed may be made
to serve the purpose very we'll If album
dant bedding is used to absorb the val
liable liquid manure. In such a feeding
lot or shed the manure is allowed to
gather under the feet of the animals,
each days bedding being strewn over
the well-tramped accumulation below.
Some farmers using this system arrange
their feed racks so that they can be
raised from time to time, making it pos
sible to feed till several feet of solidly
packed manure has accumulated under
the shed. 1t has been shown that ma
nure suffers little from heating and
teaching when handled in this way.

IN the matter of manure 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 stabbed 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
use 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 art otherwise I dare aver that
our 1000, 100000 manure waste is the
worlds greatest single economic leak
the prize waste of the champion vast
rels. With commercial fertilizers scarce
and some of them almost unobtainable,
1T would seem we'll worth our WHILE
in this juncture, even without any refer
ence to war conditions, to do every thing
within our power to stem this tide of
loss, especially in consideration of the
fact that stable manure is the best form
of fertilizer known, and when we con-
slider further the possible effect of S., 0O0,-

duction at this time when the solemn
duty of saving the world from famine

need for manure pits and feeding lots
in this broad land Of ours becomes pretty
clearly apparent.

nx RAsu Ind. MANLY

Futures -or, as they are more often
called on the floor of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce and Chicago Board
of Trade, "options'-are verbal or writ
ten contracts to buy or sell at some flu
ture time.
For instance: July wheat. One man on
the floor near the July wheat pit, or act
ing through his commission man. buys 1000
bushels of July wheat at, say s2.n per
bushel. He pays a small portion of the
purchase price, called a margin" The
seller contracts to deliver to him 1000
bushels of wheat in July. He can deliver
on the first day or any time to and in
Guiding the last day of July. The buyer
must take when delivered and pay the
balance of the price over the margin ne
laid down at the beginning.
Or, man may sell 1000 bushels of July
wheat. That doesn't necessarily mean
that he has single bushel to selfa, This
man is literally betting that wheat inNJuly
will be selling for less than the future
price quoted today. If he guesses rightly
he can buy 1000 bushels then at a lower
price and sell at the higher price he con-
tracted at. If wheat goes up by that time
he, of course, loses the difference.
September wheat is that contracted for
delivery in that month. At this time of
the year spectators are dealing in July,
September and December wheat.
is 1T NECESSARY?
Dealing in futures, commission men say.
is necessary to protect terminal elevators
and flour millers; that it gives these men
a chance to hedge on the market which
is constantly f1uctuatng.
But this much of grain speculation,
while it may or may not be necessary,
is only minute part of the speculation
in futures To every legitimate future
gambling or prearranged efforts to af-
feet the market price of cash grain.
The average bushel of wheat is sold at
least 100 times on the Minneapolis Cham
Der of Commerce.
Every morning there were up to May
16 more bushels of wheat sold in Chi
cago Board of Trade than there were
bushels received during the whole year.
That is grain gambling-betting on the
rise or fall of the wheat.
One man sells hundreds of thousands
of bushels of wheat he hasn't got, and
much he never expects to have to an
other man who doesn't want that wheat,
and never expects to get it. That same
mythical wheat is sold again and again,
forcing the price up or down.
In the fall, when the farmers are haul
ing wheat to market, the price is low.
Why? How?
Look at September wheat few days
ago. 1t closed at 81 a bushel lower than
May wheat. Why? Because in September
the farmer will have wheat to sell.
WHO HAS THE GRAIN?
Today only millers and big warehouse
men have any. Along toward the time

Farmers are urged in statement re-
Gently issued by Assistant Secretary
Carl Vrooman to make every effort to
save the vast amount of valuable ma
nure now allowed to go to waste in the
country. Assistant Secretary Vrooman
estimates that one-haf of the manure
produced in the United States is not
used as fertilizer, there being an an
nual loss of material worth $1,2o0, 200, 900
once and a half the value of the coun-
try's 1916 wheat crop.
This is not wild guess" he con-
tinues, "but very shrewd and conserva-
tive estimate based on reliable statistics.
1t has been found that each horse or
mule produces annually s27 worth of
manure Gas compared with commercial
fertilizers), each head of cattle $40 worth
each hog IS worth Calculating from the
1910 census figures for number of ami
mails on farms-62 100000 cattle, 24,OOO, 600
horses and mules, 5S,0O0,000 swine, and
54,500.000 sheep and goats-the total value
of manure produced is found to be about
st. 10000. Recent investigations by the
United States department of agriculture
indicate that at least half of this great
wealth of fertilizing material is wasted.
In some good general farming sections
not more than Is per cent of the manure
produced is used. Even in the most in
tensive dairy regions, where cows are
largely stall-fed and comparatively great
care taken with the manure, the loss
seems to be approximately Is per cent.
A FARM JOB
Here, then, is a job for the American
farmer, worthy of his utmost effort and
in keeping with the spirit of this great
hour in American history. To save
100000 600 worth of manure is hercu-
lean task-a veritable latter-day Augean-
stable job, for it means the handling of
literally millions of tons of dung and lit
ter. 1t means the construction of con-
crete manure pits, of paved feeding pens
OF sheds, and greatly increased care in
the conservation and use of bedding ma
terials. 1t means a lot of work, but it
is work that can be done at odd hours
and moments, and work that will pay
tremendous dividends, not only as war
measure but conceivably for all time,
for if we once get the habit of making
full use of our available manure supply
we are not likely to lapse into the old,
Wasteful ways again.
THE cheapest and best way to handle
manure, where convenient, is to haul
it to the field and spread it daily, or at
least every two or three days. In this
way, if plenty of bedding be used, prac-
tically all the valuable constituents of
the manure are saved, since teaching
after the manure is on arabic land mere
ly serves to put the fertilizing materials
where they ought to be. In this way,
too, loss through heating, or fire-fang-
ing is avoided
MANY farmers, however, are not so
situated as to make it profitable for
them to handle manure in this way For
such farmers the concrete manure pit
offers an ideal way of saving manure.
Such pit need not entail great ex-
pense. pit feet deep, Z feet long
and feet WIDE with walls and floors
inches thick, will serve the needs of
the average farm. In ground that does
not cave in, only an inside form will be
needed for such a pit. except where the

HOW YOUR MONEY IS JUGGLED

when wheat is being threshed, the milling
trust and big grain buyers will begin SELL
ing September wheat. Then they don't
buy. Continued selling of any commodity
naturally brings down the price. Just

pulling down the price, know. A wash
sale is no sale at all. 1t is made openly on
the floor between certain members of
bear crowd, and after the exchange closes
he is washed off the slate But wash
sales have large effect upon the price.
To outward signs they are real sales
After the price is down and most farm
ers have marketed their wheat the flour
millers and grain cornerers, who have
stored away millions of bushels in ele-
