PROVIDING BINS FOR WHEAT
Suitable Storage Houses May Be Nee
essary on Many Farms to Save
Large Crops This Year.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Farmers in sections where the acre
age of wheat is unusually large are
urged by the department of agriculture
to provide enough bins on the farm
TO take care of their wheat when
thrashed. This is said to be neces-
sary to save the wheat that will prob
ably pile up in certain localities, be-
cause the large crop is likely to put
a heavy strain ON storage elevators
and transportation systems. The
wheat should be stored In bins on the
farm. according to the bureau of mar
kets. which has issued a circular con-
tanning plans and drawings for a port
able bin that can be quickly built.
Copies of this circular have been dis
tributed to county agents throughout
the large wheat-producing sections.

AMOUNT OF FOOD NEEDED
Committee Of Experts Has Decided
Just What Must Be Supplied to
: the Average Man.

AS basis for calculating the amount
of food which must be provided for
the human system the interallied scien-
tific food commission has found that
an average man of 154 pounds working
eight hours day requires food having
an energy value of $500 calories.
The commission consists of repre-.
sentatives of the United States, France,
Italy, Belgium and Great Britain, and
its purpose is to consider the food prob
lem Of the allies from q scientific point
of view, and in agreement with the in
terallied executives to make proposals
to the allied governments.
The commission agreed that, in event
1t should become impossible to supply
$500 calories of food, reduction of
10 per cent could be suffered for some
time without injury to health. The
minimum ration of fat for the aver
age man" was determined upon as two
and five-eighths ounces a day.
The commission recommended that a
uniform average milling extraction of
50 per cent for wheat be adopted
throughout the allied countries. but
this extraction may vary from 80 per
cent in. summer to 80 per cent in win
ter.
The commission held sessions in
London, Paris and Rome.

were $50 cases in the Philippines and
many deaths in Burmah. Bubonic

FIREARMS ARE NOT FRAGILE
Shotgun Properly Cared For IL Said to
Be Good for a Hundred
thousand Shots.

A question frequently asked is. "How
long VIII my shotgun last?" or How
many shots can fire from my rife or
revolver before 1t wears outr'
1t is impossible for anyone tn saw
just how long a firearm will Inst. be-
cause it is impossible to tell before
hand what kind of care 1t Is going 70
get, and the care 1t receives makes all
the difference between a few hundred
shots and lifetime of faithful service.
Assuming that they are cleaned care
fully and consistently q good shotgun
will show practically no falling off In
pattern or penetration for probably
well over 100000 shots. A 22-caIiber
rifle and a revolver are both good for
10000 or 10000 shots. A high-power
rifle is good for about 5000 to 5000
shots, usually the higher the velocity
the shorter the life of the barrel.
Judging from these facts it would
appear that the higher the pressure.
developed by the explosion the more
wear on the barrel, for the shotgun de-
velops the least pressure and the high
power rifle the most.
A rather interesting sidelight on this
question of barrel life is determine
ton Of the actual length of time to
which good shotgun barrel is sub
jected to the force and burning effect
of the powder charge during its life
time. If 100000 shots are fred from
shotgun the inside Of the barrel is ac
tually exposed to the fame of the
powder charge for about four minutes.

HOG CHOLERA CAUSED
BY VERY SMALL GERM
Dangerous Factor in Spreading
Disease Is Sick Animal.
AIIment Cannot Always Be Diagnosed
With Absolute Certainty, ~ Symp-
toms Are Not Uniform-Pre-
vention 10 Best

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The real cause of hog cholera is a
very small germ found in the blood or
urine. 1t may be said that anything
which tends to lower the health Of the
animal, such as improper feeding, in
sanitary conditions of hog lots, damp
or cold sleeping places and dirty
drinking and feeding troughs may be
regarded as an indirect cause.
Since the disease can only be started
by the Introduction of the germ into
the herd and the organism is always
present In the bodies Of sick hogs and
is thrown Off in the feces and urine,
the most dangerous factor in spread
ing the disease is the sick animal.
1t may get into the herd by sick
hogs escaping from a neighboring herd,
by the purchase Of new stock not
showing symptoms, by returning show
hogs after visits to fairs or stockyards,
and by the purchase Of hogs which ap-
parently have recovered.
The symptoms are not constant and
uniform, therefore the disease cannot
always be diagnosed with absolute GER
tainty. Animals suffering from intes-
final troubles, Indigestion and poison
ing exhibit symptoms which closely re-
semble those of cholera.
In the early stages hogs huddle to-
gether; have temperatures CLOS to 1O7
degrees F. or hlgher); are consti
pated; the feces often streaked with
blood; characteristic odor is pres

Many FeebIe-Minded

A complete census of the feeble
minded in the United States has never
been taken. but it is estimated that
there is one feeble-minded person to
every $50 of the population, OF ap-
proximately 100000 in all. according to
the secretary of one of the New York
mental hygiene organizations. About
l@,ooO men have been rejected from
the new national army on account of
nervous and mental disorders; and

skin on the under surfaces of the body,
snout and ears. This turns into a
purple color if death is delayed q day
or two. There is discharge of mu-
Gus from the eyes. Coughing may or
may not be present. In chronic cases
there is emacation and patient may
linger for days and weeks.
Prevention is the better treatment.
Separate sick animals from the herd
at once. Vaccinate the apparently
healthy hogs with antihog- cholera
serum. This serum only protects the
hogs against cholera. 1t is proven
tive and in no wise cure. 1t Is adj
visable to take the temperature of the
hogs. This should not he more than
104 degrees Il.
Burn or bury the carcasses of hogs
that have died with the disease, disin-
feet all pens and yards after an out
break of cholera. Burn all manure,
litter and straw, then apply coat
of coal tar. Pens should be situated
so that they can be properly drained
and cleaned.
Proper feeding, plenty of exercise,
clean pens and an abundance of sum
shine will do great deal toward pro-
tecting hogs from cholera.

The extra labor required to
keep weeds under control Is prob
ably the greatest economic loss
which they cause. Labor Is too
much needed for other lines of
farm work and should not be
used in fighting weeds If they
can be eradicated in any other
way. Yet weeds must be con-
trolled If maximum crop yields
are to be secured. In this re-

The molasses used was cattle mo-

able feature is that the meal is usu-

distributed without considerable waste
by the use of an end-gate grain seeder,
such as employed In some portions of
the country in distributing the bait.
The greatly lessened expense of
fighting grasshoppers by the use of al
falfa meal mixture induced Nebraska
farmers to combat the pest much
more energetically than they would
have done if the more expensive bran

White malaga grapes which are
imported from Spain, are now max

ket after almost a complete alb
sence for two years This was due
to the fact that ships were needed
for transporting articles of more
importance and since the grapes
came under the head of luxuries
they were one of the first things to
be taboo. These are now selling
at so cents per pound. Boxed
dates are also again on the market
and are retailing at 80 cents per

of the smaller ones may be pro-
cured three for a quarter. There
were only about half as many or
anges sold this year during the

case owing to the present high
prices. Lemons are a little cheaper
