Food is Wasted

(a) When we eat more food than our
bodies need for growth and repair and to
supply energy for our work. Overeating
tends to poor health and fat instead of
Drawn, makes US sluggish and indolent
instead of energetic and resourceful. Eat
enough and no more. Eat for physical
and mental efficiently.
(b) When food is burned or spoiled in
cooking. Improperly prepared or poorly
seasoned food will be left on the table and
probably wasted. Buy food wisely and
then prepare it carefully.
(c) When too much food is prepared
for a meal. observed portions are apt
to be thrown into the garbage pail or al
lowed to spoil. Many housekeepers do not

(d) When too much food is served at
meal. Uneaten portions are left on the
plate and later thrown into the garbage

family, and serve each no more than you
think he will want.
(e) When anything edible is allowed
to go to the garbage pail or allowed to

First OF Ar, Feed Yourself.

These are good times, they say.
SO they are for the man who has
things to sell. especially things to
eat. The man who has to buy his
living, especially if he is buying out
OF fixed wage or salary. may be
pardoned for wondering little at
times wether or not II is just the
sort of prosperity he would prefer.
No farmer should be in the food
buying class. He will have to buy
some things, of course, but he should
have more to sell than he has to buy.
The farmer who does not make his
living at home is not profiting by the
high price of farm products.
In fact, it is worth saying one time
more that permanent agricultural
prosperity comes only to the COM
munity--usually only to the man
that produces surplus of food pro-
ducts. No farming section has yet
known an enduring prosperity based
on singie-crop farming and the pur-
chase from it's proceeds of the other
necessities of life.
II Is the same way with live stock.
The farmers who make most out OF
live stock are the farmers who
grow most of their feeds at home.
The farm flock of poultry pay big div
idends. but few commercial poultry
plants last more than a few years.
The difference between cheap home
grown feeds and feeds purchased at
retail market prices makes the diff
ference In profits. The dairymen in
the Northeastern some nearer
home-who depend on buying nearly
all their feeds for their cattle find il
hard struggle to keep ahead. Dairy
men who feed their own feeds find
the COW a money maker.
The farm is primarily place to
raise things to eat, and the farmer
who fails to raise food for himsei;
and feed for his stock is running a
risk Agriculturist.

most susceptible and the disease
usually appears within the first three
days after they are Matched. AZ
least 80 per cent of chickens asfecte
die.
The treatment must be preventa-
tive. The cause must be removed and
sanitation is practically the whola
thing. The incubators and brooders
should be thoroughly scrubbed with
soap and water in which disinfect-
ant has been added They should
then be further disinfected by fumi-
cation with formaldyhyde gas. For
SO hours after Matching, the chicks
should receive no feed. An intes-
final antiseptic may help TO prevent
infection. DR.. Kaupp has recon-
mended for this purpose sulfocarbo-
late thirty grains, bichloride OF mer-
curry six grains, and citric acid three
grains, dissolved in one gallon of
water. This mixture should coll
stitute their drinking water.
Experience has fully demonstrated
that success in the poultry business
is impossible without the exercise OF
eternal vigilance in sanitation.

Farmers Can Cooperate.

We talk so much about the need
OF cooperation among the farmers
and spend SO much time wondering
why they don't learn to work togeth-
or that we are In danger of overlook
ing the fact that they are co-operat-
ing more and more every year. There
are few counties in which one cannot
find some sort of cooperative organ
ization among the farmers; and lit
tie groups of farmers here and
there all over the country are work
ing together and making just as lit
tie fuss about II as II il were the ma
tural thing to do. AS. indeed. Il is.

cooperation, quite confident of the
future and on the alert to keep their
organization right up to the minute

Today comes little slip from the
Mississippi A. & Nj. College telling
how "hfteen just plain Mississippi
farmers" got together without any
frills" and shipped a carload of
very ordinary hogs" to st. Louis,
getting as high as ten cents pound,
live weight, for them. Cooperative
selling should make il easy for these
farmers TO practice cooperative
breeding to the extent of getting a
few pure-bred sires so that they will
not have to ship ordinary" and
scrub" hogs next year.
The cooperative association that
comes into existence through the
efforts of the plain" farmers them
selves to meet real need OF theirs
is the one that promises most; and
there are more such organizations
to-day than ever before.
Cooperation among farmers has
become one OF the realities. South

WAR AGAINST WEEDS

The war against weeds in Marathon
county is slowly but surely favoring
the farmer, owing to more systematic
and thorough methods of attack.
Besides the private campaigns, there
were seven different trial demonstra-
tions carried on in this county during
the past season in cooperation with
the seed inspection department,
College of Agriculture.
In each case where farmers cooper
ated in the eradication of weeds great
care was taken that the methods were
used as recommended. Principal A..
w. Berg of the County School of Agri-
culture helped farmers get the work
under way.
Herewith Is presented brief sum-
mary of the individual weed exper-
iments which were conducted in the
county this year:
Joe Mearek, Wausau, completely
eradicateC twenty-acre field of buck
horn by crop rotation which included
oats seeded to clover.
Walter Henning, Marathon. Mr..
Henning has an acre which he issum-
mer following for quack eradication.
The eradication apparently was COM
plete.
Emmett Ringle, Edgar, covered
small patch of quack in his orchard
with tar paper. The eradication
apparently is complete.
j. /. Krauser, Stratford, partially
summer fallowed his patch of quack
grass and sowed it to buckwheat.
He apparently mas had very good sue
cess.
Herbert Wagner, Stratford, has
five acre field upon which he has used
partial summer fallow with buck
wheat as a smother crop. He is also
having very good success.
Ben Kraus, Rockville, is summer
following his two-acre field of quack
grass. Eradication apparently is COM
plete.
Ed. Whjtemore, Wausau, is using
japanese buckwheat after partial
summer fallow, upon his three acre
field of quack. He prefers the Jap
anese buckweat, stating that lie has
been successful with this type.
Besides the cooperative weed de-
monstrations in this county, the seed
inspection department carried on SIM
liar projects in 1916 with farmers in
IA other counties, serving to drive
home the fact that weeds can be |
eradicated through steady effort,
coupled with little ''head work"
Residents of the state who desire |
may avail themselves of the state /
seed inspection service. Copies of
Circular 4S, "How to Rid Our Farms
of Weeds will be sent by the College
of Agriculture, Madison, to residents
of the state who apply for them.
