FARM HORSE WORKED
TO UTMOST CAPACITY
Wise Use Of Animal Is Of Vital
Concern to Farmer, Says
Agricultural Department.

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
The horse that works 1000 hours a
year and costs 500 for feed. shelter,
etc, Is cheaper than the horse that
costs but SIS for keep and works but
500 hours. The former costs but 10
cents per hour worked, while the lat
ter costs Is cents. Wise use of the
farm horse to his fullest working ca
pacity Is thus of vital concern to the
farmer, according to United States
department of agriculture bulletin $50.
Just issued, "Cost of Keeping Farm
Horses and Cost of Horse Labor" en-
bodying the results of the study of
the records for 316 horses on q farms
In Illinois, Ohio, and New York.
In Illinois 154 horses on 10 farms
showed an average yearly cost for
keep Of S1O0.65. The average yearly
hours worked per horse were 1903
and the cost per hour worked 9.o6
cents. Records for Y horses in Ohio
showed an average cost of keep per
horse 500, and cost per hour 1909
cents. In New York the average year
ly cost per horse of 90 horses on 10
farms was S145.02, average hours
worked 1920, and average cost per
hour 14.22 cents.

BEGINNING OF MAN
Origin Is Retreatlng More and
More Into the Past.
Topic Still Absorbs Interest of AnthTo.
poiogists and Other Scientists, Each
Discovery Renewing Discussion.

The antiquity of man is still an al
sOrbing topic among anthropologists
and other scientists. and fresh discus
sions arise with each new discovery
of ancient human remains. In this
connection. il is interesting to note,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger,
that DIR. Arthur Keith of Edinburgh.
an authority on the subject, believes
that the living Australian aborigine
is of an older type than any of the
fossil remains of modern man found
in Europe. The New York Medical
Journal says:
"The date of the origin of the hui
man species, by each new discovery
of missing chapters in its history, is
shifted to q more and more remote
time. The Neanderthal skull, which.
by its prominent supraorbital ridges.
its length and flattening from above
downward, seemed to link man close
ly. if loosely, to the higher apes, still
had a brain capacity quite equal to
that of the average modern man, ana
on this account pointed to still more
remote beginning of the human being.
The brain Of the Neanderthal man was
not only large but elaborate, and, as
shown by the remains of his culture.
he possessed fire and made flint imple-
ments. Though ancient, he was any
thing but an ape.
1.-The Heidelberg skull which resem-
bled the Neanderthal remains but was
still more markedly simian in general
features, had also capacious brain
case and is believed to have belonged
to a creature with comparatively high
mental development. The Neanderthai
man is placed some 100000 years back.
while the Heidelberg skull Is presumed
to date to doubly remote time.
"The prehistoric remains found by
Doctor Dubois In Java, the bones or
Pithecanthropus, as he has been called.
were of decidedly earlier geological
date, as indicated both by their sur
roundings and by their own features
| the brain case was small and the era
NAL traits were otherwise more ape
like than those of any other known re-
mains. All the structural characters
of Pithecanthropus, so far as we know
them, are exactly of the kind we ex-
pect to find In the early ancestral types
of man. The unearthing Of the Java
man pushed the date for the origin OF
the human type backward another
period of a few hundred thousand
years, or into the MiOcene epoch OF
geological time.
The chain linking modern man di
rectly with an early type similar te
the gorilla or chimpanzee seemed to Of
growing strong until, in 1872. ths
bones of an ancient man OF another
type were discovered In England II
the Piltdown cave. This. according Il
DR.. Arthur Keith, who Is as great al
authority as can be found. Is the old
est specimen of true humanity yet dis
covered The brain of this being was
in size, at least. up to the moder'
standard, but otherwise the bones ar
the most simian recorded"

Dynamite Saves Potatoes.

resourceful farmer found q new
way to use dynamite and saved a near
ly matured crop of potatoes in badly
flooded field, says the Scientific Ameri-
can. Usually heavy rains filled all the
ueighborhood drains and bitches; in
his emergency the owner put down
number of holes eight to twelve feet
deep with post auger and exploded
a charge of dynamite in the bottom OF
each. This opened up passages into
the sandy sub-soil, through which the
surplus water drained rapidly, and the
crop was saved, although many nearby
crops were ruined by the excess Of
water standing in the fields.

sufficiently high surrounding temper

In mild climates, in which there are
frequent days when bees can fly and
rid themselves of feces, the injurious
effects of poor stores are less notice

mulate sufficiently to cause 'ui 'ormal

Proper Insulation.
The exact method of packi' Sos not
especially important, provided 1ough
insulation is given on all sidepeo Colo
MES may be packed singly in my sort
of box, or they may be pa.oped In
groups Of four. Some beeke'pers ar
range colonies in long rows aiai apply
insulation to the whole row. The plac.
ing of several hives in contact has
the advantage that the colonies insul-
ate one another. If arranged in groups
Of four, two facing east and two west.
| they may be left on the same stand
throughout the year and are readily
manipulated during summer. II In
long rows close together. summer ma
nipulatiOns are impeded, unless the
hives are moved after the insulation
is removed. Placing colonies in LONG
rows is therefore not advisable. What
ever type Of outer case is used, II
should be tight, to prevent rain and
snow from wetting the insulating ma
terial.
If the bees do not have sufficient
stores, they may be given combs OF
honey, but these should always bl
given before cold weather, so that
proper cluster space may be formed
by the moving Of honey, since bees al
ways cluster In empty cells Of thu
comb adjacent to stores.
Feed Sugar SIrup.
If honey in combs Is not available
the bees may be fed extracted honey
but the usual practice is to feed
thick sugar strip made Of two or tw'
and one-half parts of sugar to ont
part of water by volume. To thi'
strip one ounce of tartaric acid should
be added for each 40 to 60 pounds o
sugar while the strip is being heat
ed to the boiling point to dissolve tn
sugar crystals. The strip should b
boiled Is minutes. The acid helps t.
invert the cane sugar, thus retardinI
its granulation In the comb. II Their
Is any question as to the quality o
the stores, 1t is a good practice to fee
ten pounds Of strip at the time Q
packing, in addition to the stores pre-
vided earlier, this being stored immt
diately above the cluster. 1t Is thu
used first, and an accumulation
feces does not occur so long as tn
bees use only the sugar strip. Their

than a good quality Of honey. As wa
stated earlier, honey-dew honey cause
a rapid accumulation Of feces, result

are similarly injurious, but their II
