TO PREVENT TOOLS RUSTING
Paste Made of TalIow or Lard and
Graphite Will Prove Efficacious-
Have Surface Dry.

No matter If tools are kept out Of
the wet, even the dampness of the air
will cause them to rust. A paste made
of tallow or lard and graphite, with a
little camphor gum will prevent rust
when applied and afterwards rubbed
dry. Mix two parts grease to one OF
graphite. Add about one-fourth as
much camphor gum as there is of the
graphite.
Get the tools quite clean and dry,
apply the paste and allow 1t to remain
on all metal parts for "a hours or
longer, then rub dry. Tools treated in
this way will not rust for several
months, though exposed to damp air.
Treat In this way every two or three
months, not only tools, but any steel
or iron surface.

REGULARITY IS RIGHT PLAN
Farm Stock, Once Accustomed to Rou.
tine of Living, Show Unrest at
Any Change In Program.

Farm animals are creatures Of habit,
and onc accustomed to a routine Of
living show unrest ut any change. The
feed stable or lot, therefore, should
be free from disturbance, and the pro-
vidlng of feed and water should be
uniform In time and manner.
Animals o learn when these are
to occur, and rs feeding time ap-
proaches the %secretions begin pouring
from the various digestive glands In
anticipation of the coming meal.
The system of feeding and watering
and the character Of the rations should
be changed gradually. and only for
good cause, In feeding operations 4
changing period is usually Il losing

Hens that do not lay when eggs are

then take delight In trying to beat the
record when their eggs are only worth
Is or 20 cents n dozen, are like a good

pended on ut the time Of greatest need.
However, the hens should not always
receive the blame, because, In many
instances, they do not receive the food
products from which they can manu-
facturc eggs.
The extension division Of Clemson
college has been recommending an egg
mash containing Onc-thlrd by weight
Of prime, bright c%ottonseed meal and
the remaining tWo-thirds to consist of
equal parts of Cornmeal, wheat shorts
and ground oats. This mash Is Il sat

kept dry before the hens In a hopper
or box constantly. Then n mixture of
whole grains Is scattered In litter
twice daily to force the hens to exer-

For those who cannot obtain the In
gradients to mix the above mash, 1t Is
possible to prescribe a simpler method
Of feeding hens for eggs that will give
satisfactory results. Buy a few bush
els of cowpcas. Make Il mixture of 40
pounds whole or cracked cOwpeas and
60 pounds of whatever other whole
grains you are now feeding. A formula
we have used (but others are equally
good, provided the cowpeas are 40
pounds) is: Cowpeas, 40 pounds;
corn or cracked corn, 80 pounds cane
seed, 20 pounds, and wheat, 10 pounds.
Feed this mixture literally twice daily
in litter and do not give the hens any
mash Mt all. You will need only ground
oyster shells, broken plaster, or ground
limestone to supply the lime for max
ing the shell. Keep the lime product
In Il box where the hens can eat 1t con
stantly. And last, but not least, keep
Il bucket of fresh water before the
layers, as eggs contain 60 per cent OF
water.-Clemson College Bulletin.

70 FIGHT CONSUMPTION LAW
Open-Air Meetings Throughout the
Country Will Protest Draft.

49,
Nationwide opposition to the con-
~scr;pt;on law will be registered by
; the Socialist party. according to Ju-
ian Pierce, secretary Of the Wash
| inpton branch, in a statement issued
last night.
Julian Brill, Of 1880 Ninth street

terday.
He reported to the Socialist head
quarters on f street and was advised
to present himself for physical ex-
animation but 10 insist upon his
rights before the exemption board
and claim exemption because of con-
scicntious objection to war.
THE Socialist campaign will be di-
rectcd towards the repeal of the ex-
emption law. They will not fight its
operation further than to furnish
counsel to test its constitutionality.
They propose to take it to the SUI
preme Court for a final opinion.
Open-air meetings throughout the
country will be held attacking the
law but all speakers have been eau
toned against making remarks with
regard to its operation.
Pierce held the first of Il series OF
open-air rallies at which the draft
law will be criticized at Eighth street
and Pennsylvania avenue. Washing

There were many plain-clothes men
in the audience, but Pierce was
