Second Liberty Bond

The second Liberty Loan Bond is
sue started October /. The oppor-
tunity will be presented to every
American citizen to invest in one or
more bonds. AS the interest rate
has been increased to fur per cent.
the bonds present a really desirable
investment and what is more, per-
fectly safe investment. A short
time ago four per cent. government
bonds sold at a premium and the
time will come when they will again
command premium. The bonds
are not only an investment but
they are the means of giving every
one chance to help the boys in the
trenches by providing the necessi-
ties that they will require. If you
have not subscribed for either the
Liberty Loan campaign or the Red
Cross you are a Stacker and a very
poor substitute for an American
citizen. If you can't help much
you can at least help as much as
you can.

your knees; put the baby to bed early;
do not give the baby patent medicines.

Late melting hens, or hens that put

80 per cent of these prove out to be the
persistent and the heavy layers. There
fore the hens to keep over are those
that molt late. This year not single
hen that molts late Should be killed

next few years will be needed. This
does not apply to hens that mott late
because they are diseased or because
they were Matched out of season the
year before.

You often hear the statement that
Potlatch land at 500 per acre is
too high and land owner can't
make interest on his money with
such high valuation. Of course
that is all nonsense. Land at 500
an acre right now in this country is
cheap. There are bean crops raised
this year that will net the producer
ten per cent. interest, clear Of taxes
on the. land, covering period of
four years, or forty per cent. for
one year on a valuation of $f6o per
acre.
Pick up an eastern or middle
western newspaper and see the
prices that are being paid for land
there that will not produce as much
per acre as land in this locality.
Prices range from $3.50 to $3.50 per
acre and this same land will not
produce on an average Of more than
twenty bushels per acre of wheat
and probably thirty or thirty-five
bushels Of corn.
The land in the Potlatch is as
good as the best and values will un-
questionably increase very mater
tally. Farming conditions, how
ever, will have to be changed and
that very soon. Farms are being
regarded too much as a means Of
amassing sufficient money to enable
the owner to move to town and re-
tire on his income. In the east
they are handed down from one
generation to the next and the fer
tility Of the soil isl being conserved
SO that succeeding generations will
be able to live as well as those who
now farm the land.
Constant cropping of land to
wheat has produced the smut evil.
Bean raising year after year on the
same land will eventually use up all
the humus in the soil and cause it
to run together and bake. The
only solution is a rotation of forage
crops such as clover or alfalfa. This
will insure the fertility of the soil
for ages to come and will in the end
return more profit than the method
SO generally followed today of TAX
ing everything from the soil and
putting nothing back.
Land today is worth the prices
asked and more, but if present
farming methods are followed for a
few more years land values will
surely decline.

Feed Fowls Regularly.

Feed regularly. The morning feed
should be light, so that the fowls will
be hungry and go arranging after their
own rations. They really know as well
as you what food is best adapted to
their needs, and If it is to be had they
will get it. Feed heavily at night be-
fore the birds go to roost. This will

We have found no other combination
that would compare with this ration
in price and results.
The cost Of this feed can still be
reduced to about $2.7O per hundred
pounds by feeding sprouted oats. We
feed equal parts of the above scratch
feed and dry mash. For every hun
dred pounds Of the corn chop which
is fed we feed one bushel Of oats
which have been sprouted; then after
they are sprouted it makes over two
bushels Of feed.
We soak the oats from twelve to
twenty-four hours, spread them out III
trays until they are about one inch in
depth, sprinkle them each day to keep
them moist and feed them when they
are about one week old Don't use any
artificial heat in sprouting and the oats
will not mold. If you feed the oats
when they are about week old from
the date you started to sprout them
you get the benefit Of the oat grain as
well as the tender. succulent sprouts.
These offset the "all corn scratch feed.
We feed some of the dry mash in a
moistened state each afternoon. Give
all the moist mash the hens will eat III
about thirty minutes. Moisten it with
water or milk. Feed the dry mash in
hopper Or box and keep it before the
hens so they may help themselves at
any time. Feed about an equal amount
of the dry mash and cracked corn and
regulate the quantity of cracked corn
which you throw into the litter for the
hens by the amount Of dry mash each
pen consumes. The nutritive ratio of
this feed is about to As If the oats
are used as directed.
This is about right for laying hens or
growing stock. This will reduce the
cost Of this feed at the above prices Of
the ingredients, so that the cost will
not exceed $2.7O per hundred pounds
If this is used for growing stock add
f1ve pounds of bonemeal to each hun
dred pounds of ground feed. Keep grit
and oyster shell constantly before the
fowls.

and during times like these the

larger profits. Until recently
renters have had a hard time of it

There is some talk of raising
farm rents for next season. 1t is
hard to See the justice in that. If a
renter paid a third of the crop
when wheat was a dollar a bushel
why should the land owner ask
more than a third rent when wheat
practically doubles in value? The
land owner gets twice as much rent

GERMANS WEARING ARMOR.
Steel Protection Found to Be vuIner-

able to Bullets.
With the British Armies In France
and ,Belgium.-At least part of the
German infantry is now wearing steel
armor which covers the chest and
stomach: This armor is in the form
of sheet of steel, which is attached
to the shoulders and gives the wearer
the appearance of just having stepped
out of the middle ages.
Specimens of the armor found on
German prisoners have been examined
and found to be vulnera Bile to rifle fire.
On the whole, the armor seems very
unsatisfactory protection, and its
weight renders the movements of a
man so accoutered most difficult.
