THE RICHEST DOG.

The richest dog in the world is
said to be Billy, belonging to an
American mining magnate. Billy is
a big dog, and on one occasion he
was plotting his master and his mate
to their cabin on the mountains,
when the latter was so sure that a
certain turning was the right one
that he left Billy and his master to
go their way and he took his, giving
the dog parting kick to show his
contempt for his intelligence. But
the dog was right, and presently con-
Quoted his master to the cabin, and
then, in spite of the kick, set out to
find the other man. He found him
utterly lost and at his last gasp al
most, and led him back. So grateful
was he that he presented the dog,
after he had struck it rich,' with a
gold-studded collar, and opened a
banking account in his name, which
will only be disturbed to give him a
fitting funeral.

SPECIAL CARE OF gifts.

When prices for pork rose about @
year ago many farmers took advan-
tage of the condition and sold good
portion of their stock, including brood
sows. 1t Is not likely that any such
wholesale slaughter will OCCUR this
year, because much interest has been
focused on the hog as an economical
means of utilizing wastes. There is
a sharp demand for weaned pigs by
small farmers, people of rural COM
munities and suburbanites. To en-
courage pork production many boards
pig pen to return for the duration Of
the war, not, however, without some
restrictions.
1t is time now to separate the sows
intended to hold over for breeding
from the rest of the herd. Young
gifts intended for breeding stock will
make practically the same growth ana
frame development from now on II
fed on limited grain ration. They
will not be in that fine condition de-
sired for market, yet they will be in
better condition for farrowins and
the cost of feeding will be reduced.
1t would be we'll to separate moro
than is desired TO winter, not only to
allow a further selection, but because
the growing demand for weaned pigs
and pork products will warrant breed
ing in a greater number.

SOME PREVIOUS LONG WARS
England Fought France From 1899 to
1471-Wars of the Roses Con-
tinued Thirty Years.

Three years of war seems a long
time to most of us, but few of the big
wars of history have been settled in
anything like so short a period, OBJ
serves the London Tit-Bits. The
Peloponnesian war, which in many
respects was similar to the present
campaign, went on for over twenty
years; as did the French Revolu-
tionary and Napoleonic campaigns.
The American War of Independence
lasted eight years, the War of Sue
cession II years and the Elizabethan
war with Spain 16 years.
The longest period at which this
country was at war at one time was
from 1889 to 1471, when we fought
France almost continuously; while
the Wars of the Roses dragged on for
nearly 80 years. But events move
more quickly in these days, and it is
inconceivable to suppose that the
present struggle can continue for
anything like SO long as did these
campaigns. In former times sew
eral decades elapsed before the more
glaring effects of war disappeared,
but it is probable that the work of
reconstruction will be so rapid today
that within a few wears after the

WIRE CLEANS DRAIN PIPES
VIII Bend So 1t Can Easily Follow the
Sharp Curves and Quickly
Remove All Trouble.

Trouble with drain pipes which
continually clog up can very easily
be done away with by the use OF a
steel cable devised by Jay Fl. Wool
hiser, plumber of Elmhurst, l.. |.
Unlike the straight steel cables
which cannot be pushed around a
sharp bend, his wire can wind
around the worst of them, cleaning
out the waste while doing so. The
wire is made of thin, but very elias
tic steel. This is wound around IN
small loops placed very close to-
gether.
The end of the wire is slightly
bent, and this end is slanted away
from the direction Of the pipe bend
When the wire reaches the bend it
therefore catches. The wire is
pressed down into the pipe a little
further, and is then suddenly turned
The wire end is at once released
and the wire springs up into the
bend.
When the waste which is clogging
the pipe is reached, the wire is kept
turning. The bend of the wire keeps
the end swinging around in circle
1t thus wipes around the whole in
terror of the pipe.

of science is that which gives the
second honors to the salmon.
This fish, it has been demon
strated, can jump on the average 10
feet vertically, He can swim with
apparent nonchalance and then sud-
denly spring out of the water and
strike a mark 16 feet above him.
Scientists measured his leaps on the
Rhine and on the Elbe rivers, where
his athletic powers were put to their
severest test.
The high water falls and natural
barriers in these turbulent streams
make it necessary that the salmon IN
fighting his way inward from the
sea shall climb and leap ceaselessly
before he penetrates to the source OF
the waters.
That. American fish have equaled
this 16-foot record is probable, al
though fishermen in our mountain
streams have made no exact meas
urements. Previous to this discov"
cry the kangaroo was popularity sup
posed to be second to the flea.

May Use american Waonino'y >

II might be added that Japan is now
investigating the possibility OF using
American cotton-spinning machinery
In their mills. The extent OF purchases
already decided on is estimated at
200 900 spindles.
How her credit stands may be seen
from the fact that her AZ per cent.
loan is quoted on the London Stock
Exchange at 91h, yielding at that
price, interest of nearly per cent
Great Britain's AZ per cent. loan Is
quoted at 92I, so We see how the rela-
tive positions of the two countries
have changed since 1914. Before that
fateful time no one would have
dreamed of comparing the two credits.
Already Japanese manufacturers
have uuadrupled their exports to Aus
tralia. Ships which in the past aver
aged a cargo Of 450 tons now bring to
Sydney $500 tons. The Japanese have
captured a great deal OF the trade once
firmly held by American, British, Ger
man and French exporters. In the SILK
market they have won the premier
position, and Australian shops are now
filled to overfiowing with cheap JAP
anese silks.
The following Japanese goods are
now sold with great success in the
Australian market: Glasses, scientific
instruments, silks, Panama hats, cot
tons, toys, insulators. electric light ap-
paratus, camphor, sulphur oil, matches,
basketware rubber tires, bottles, por-
celain.
Japan's rapid industrial and COM
mercial strides will serve to intensity
the formidable competition which the
American manufacturer will have to
meet both in domestic and foreign
markets after the war. They afford
another striking proof of the necessity
for restoring friendly relations be-
tween capital and labor, securing few
er and better business laws and
moulding better public attitude to-
ward business so that American In
dustry may be rid Of It's harassments
and made strong for the trade fight
after the restoration Of peace.-Indus-

porting Since 1914,

rupled-Bullding 100000 Tons Of
Shipping to Handle Export Expansion

In the past few years Japan has nm
dergone a tremendous industrial devel'
opment. The enormous progress made
by her in manufacturing and export
ing since the outbreak of the war is
little realized in this country.
It is not fully recognized that Japan
Is gradually changing from an agricul-
tural to an industrial country, and that
In her new drive to win some of the
foreign markets she has captured con.
siderable of the business which was
formerly held by this country. The
great expansion of her foreign trade
since 1914 is shown by the official re-
turns of her trade in 1916.
Exports Far In Excess of Imports.
During that year tue total value Of
imports was 756500,000 yen, being an
,ancraase of 224,OOO,O00, while the ex'
ports Cor the same period amounted to
1,127, 800 900 yen, being an increase Of
about 419 100000 yen. The actual ex'
cess Of exports over imports for the
year was 371, 100000 yen, as compared
with 170,OOO,O0O yen for 1915.
The changed position which has
taken place since the beginning of the
war may be seen from the fact that
6or the year 1914 there was actually
an excess in the value Of the imports
over exports of about 100000 yen.
Cotton manufacture Is one of her
principal industries, and the statistics
show that the average number Of spin
dies working daily In Japan in 1914
(the latest available year,. was nearly
$500, 600. Wool manufacture was not
carried on before the war to any great
extent, but 1t has now received con
siderable impetus, and Japanese fac
tories are executing orders from the
Russian Government.
The production of iron and steel
both In government and private works
has also been very considerable, the
best iron ores being imported from
China. Japan has some 100000 tons
OF shipping now under construction
and the industry is In tiourishine
condition. Her merchant marine con
sists of 2,170 steamers Of 17O4, 7S5
tons, and 9,1S7 sailing ships of 572,4OS
tons. Ocean-going steamers exceeding
10000 tons number 44S, with total
tonnage Of 1,42S,212 tons. Thirty-nine
ooean-going steamers of 14O2S6 tons
were launched from Japanese yards In

GOOD BUSINESS SCRAPS
THE UNPROFlTARLE MACHINE
Put the Dairy on Business Basis.
Weed Out the "Boarder." "Grade
up" the Herd by Pure Erred Stock
and Feed Balanced Rations.

The dairy COW is prime factor OF
Importance No branch of farming ID
more fundamentally sound than dat-
ry farming, though it is often true
that the returns from this business
are not sufficient to warrant the in
vestment, material and labor charges.
The reasons why this is true are nu-
merous, and some of them are in the
farmers own baillwick.
The Dairy Cow is a Machine.
The dairy cow is a machine bought
and sold by the faS&ner te manufac-
ture milk from hay and grain. Un-
fortunately the production value Of
each one Of these machines is differ
ent. For this reason each machine
must be tried and its standard deter
mined to learn whether it will turn
out milk at a profit or loss
Estimates made by the New York
State College Of Agriculture show
very clearly that the average cow Ia
net an efficient machine. Her an
nual product is worth $68o9 and the
annual cost of maintaining $81.S6
exclusive of labor. This shows that
the return on a mans labor for ear
ing for her is only s4.2b a year.
Hence a man keeping 80 cows-and
that is good sized herd-would re-
ceive only $127.so, a little over $40 .
month, or less than the lowest paid
boys wages en- the farm. If q manu-
facturer had such machines in his
factory he would scrap them with as
little delay as possible.
Use a Dairy Scales and Babeoek Test.
The farmer feels that he cannot af-
ford to beef his cows, but he must do
something to raise the average OK
milk production in his herd.
He should put his dairy on busi-
ness basis and determine what each
COW is doing for him and then weed
out the poor animals. The use Of the
milk scales and the Baboock test are
indispensable to success in dairying.

tiens have been formed great assist
ance has been rendered the farmer by

and more profitable basis.
"Grade up" the Herd with Pure Bred
Stock.
Good business, that's the first and
last principle, and it includes in It's
curriculum grading up" the herd
with pure bred bull or by the pur-
chase of pure bred animals. Grade
cows may be good. but they are never
as good as pure bred animals and the
calves of pure bred dam from a pure
bred sire are always more valuable in
the market.
Feed Animals for Profit.
The foregoing is all spoken with
the assumption that properly bal
anced rations are fed, because there
is nothing which will swallow prefits
quicker than poor feeding. especially
now while feeds are SO high. Every
man keeping any kind of animals
should inform himself about balano-
ing rations. The Agricultural Expert
