In front another door swings to

another slides in against the right

the stock Is in the stocks, for all the
world like an evildoer in ancient

that position you are at liberty to do
your worst. He can't do anything to
stop you.--Farming Business.

DRYING OF DAIRY UTENSILS
Process Equally as Important as Thor.
ough Cleaning, Especially in
Summer Season.

Much emphasis has been laid upon
thorough cleaning Of dairy utensils,
and rightly so, but the process of dry
ing is equally as important in warm
weather. Drying should not be done
with a cloth, but by heating the uten-
sils in hot water, steam or oven sufi-
GENTLY to evaporate moisture.

WORK OF MILKING MACHINES

POLL EVIL CAN BE AVOIDED
Hard and BadIy.Fitting Straps and
Low Ceilings and Doorways, Are
Cause Of Trouble.

Poll evil, an inflamed condition Of
the horses poll, very liable to the for
nation Of deep-seated assesses, may
be in many instances prevented, since
the principal causes Of this complaint
are hard and badly-fitting head straps,
and horses hitting their heads against
the beams Of low ceilings and door
ways.

UNDESIRABLE HABIT OF cow
Usually Acquired When Animals Are
Young-Hard to Break When
When Once Established.

It Is disappointing to give a COW
good care, and feed her well, and
then have her suck herself This I'M
desirable habit is one that COWS get
into usually while they are young.
After the habit is once established
they never quit it, and it is not an
easy matter to break them of 1t per-
mauently.

Some feeders cook the meal, stir 1t
in the skinned milk and feed it to
the calf. After the calf is two weeks
old it will eat fine ground m cal and If
fed small quantities will assimilate 1t.
Linseed meal Is also used.
Care should be taken in feeding

sible. Nothing but clean vessels should
be used and the milk should be clean

Considering the small cost, 1t Is
doubtful whether any one thing has
proved so great an incentive to more

advertise a community in such a way

BILLBOARD UNSIGHTLY

The billboard which has been a
law unto itself has waxed into a
mighty institution known euphonious-
ly among its friends as outdoor adj
vertising," has come to book. After
happening upon unexpected discover
les that billboards accumulate COM
bustibles that have been known to
take fire, gather to themselves in
sanitary and offensive odds and ends,
andrew afford seclusion for crime,
the Supreme Court has decided that
Chicago may prohibit them in resi-
Dental blocks where one-half the
buildings on each side Of the street
are used exclusively as homes and
owners of half the frontage have not
assented in writing. Thus, the court
avoided the necessity of facing the
billboard squarely-an evasive atti-
tude the courts have stoutly main
tanned ever since. In ancient times
they said they would protect the ear
and the nose from offensive assaults
but not the eye.-Michigan Trades

AGRICULTURAL PREPAREDNESS

With the country on the eve of war
there is a general recognition Of the
fact in both official and business cir
cles that an ample supply of food
stuffs is the most essential factor of
preparedness for any eventuality
which may arise. This fact is plainly
attested by the recent appeal of the
Secretary of Agriculture to the
farmers of the country "to farm as
they have never farmed before" for
both economic and patriotic reasons.
In this appeal Secretary Houston has
emphasized the fact that this year the
American farmer should strive for
the highest standard of efficiency in
the production and conservation of
food. He has made a strong plea to
the farmers of the country to recog-
nize that it is not only their own crop
which they are growing this year,

In this connection a word Of en-
couragement TO the farmer who Is
hesitating about the employment of
high-priced labor, in cases where OPP
portunity offers, will not be out Of
place. 1t is true that present wage
scales are out of proportion to the
labor income possible from their en-
ployment in crop production under
previous conditions, but conditions
have changed, and with present prices
of farm products it is possible to
employ labor profitably at great
ly Increased wage.
