GERMAN Honey
FELL AND BOUNCED
Trick to Secure Rubber Exposel
When Comb Il Accidental. 5,
ly Dropped.

Germany is making every effort to
secure rubber. It's agents in differ
ent parts of the world have made
numerous efforts to smuggle this
valuable article into, our enemys
land.
Long months spent in counterinK
the wiles of these tricksters have
made the crews of the various allies
patrolling vessels keen in noting any
suspicious cargo. Little contraband
stun now escapes their vigilant eye.
William B. Miller. president of the
Norwalk Tire Rubber Company. tells
an interesting story of how clever
some Of Germany's agents are and
how the alertness of the crew of one
of the allies patrolling vessels de-
tecte6 the contraband.
Here Is Mr.. Miller's story:

Fifteen years ago the answer would
have been in the Affirmative. While
horse-driven vehicles were available.
they were seldom used for journeys
exceeding twenty miles.
Conditions are now different. The
use of the commercial type of motor
car has not only demonstrated it's
power of conveying a load at a rate
much less than that expended for the
former method. but. with the i'm
proved highways. this recently de-
veloped mode of delivery possesses
many advantages.
Apart from town to-town convey
ance of goods in bulk. one of the
principal advantages attending the
use of motor vehicles Is the extend
ed delivery area which may be served.
A well known mineral manufacturer
stated recently that when he depend
ed on horses his delivery was limited
to seventeen miles. but since he
adopted motor trucks he covers a
fiftymile radius and finds that the
improved delivery service has con-
siderably increased his business"

LOCAL DEALERS

Despite the recent announcement OF
the government of the further cut in
the manufacture of passenger cars,
the local dealers have taken the mat
ter philosophically and have pa
triotically set about to adjust their
business to the future requirements.
Most of the dealers, however. are in
a position to take care of what orders
they have on hand, and many have
few extra cars that are due them
from the manufacturer. so that this
summers business is not the cause
of their worries.
What conditions next season will be

evident that old cars will be in good

supply the demand. This situation
for the car owners and the dealers.
Rosy Hue Is Given.
While the diminished number Of
cars for sale in the future would not
under ordinary conditions bode any
good to the dealers. yet rosy hue is
given to future sales by the fact that

on them.
When the war conditions again al

and sold than in the history of the
automobile business. and with less
speculation on the part of the dealer.
To those who adjust their affairs to
these conditions unlimited business

D. c. Banner City.
The local dealers are all espe-
cially well connected with the fac
tories which they represent. In fact.
Washington is one of the casts ban
ner cities for automobile dealers of
strong business standing. This fact.
while not generally known, is bring
ing better service to the customers of
the local dealers than in nearly any
other city in this section.
This is due to the fact that the
great majority of local dealers have
excellent financial connections. and
1T has been well known fact for
six months that money has talked
with the homo factories in the de-
liveries of cars, and while the deal.

hIQh.Priced Feed.

Many of those thinking Of engaging
in poultry keeping are deferred by the
high price of feed. As they cannot
figure a profit on poultry raised on
grain costing around IS q hundred
pounds. they conclude that as long as
such prices last poultry cannot be
raised ut a profit. That is true in re-
gard to many cases where a profit
could be made with feed at lower
prices, but in many more cases poultry
will pay even If feed prices should go
much higher than now.
Most of the poultry produced in the
United States comes from general
farms where the birds live largely on
wastes that would not be used at all II
the poultry did not eat them. AS long
as a farmer does not feed any con.
siderable quantity of salable grain to
his poultry the prices of feed do not
directly affect his profits from poultry.
Indirectly. high prices Of feed-tend
ing to curtail production among those
who buy most of their poultry feed
benefit the farmer by raising prices Of
poultry and eggs In the general
markets.
When feed prices are high small
back yard fiocks can usually be kept
at profit by feeding as much waste
as can be obtained, striving for the
best possible egg production. and sell
ing eggs direct to the trade that pays
the best price. The same methods
may also enable a specialist in market
egg production with a large flock to
keep his plant running when with less
efficient methods he would be forced
to discontinue.
Growers Of standardized poultry for
breeding and exhibition purposes can
usually operate no matter how high
the prices Of feed may 60. II their
prOfits are much lower than normal un.
der such conditions, they know that
eventually either prices Of feed will
come down or prices on high-class stock
and eggs will 60 up, and in the long
run their profits under different condi.
tions will be equalized.

CALVES ON SEPARATED MILK

moved. Usually 1t pays well to feed
whole milk for about two weeks, at the
end of which time separated milk may

latter may be gradually increased until
at the end of the fourth week it Is used
altogether. No fixed rules Of feeding.
based upon age, can be given, because
the size and vigor of the calf must al
ways be considered. Calves especially
strong at birth may be put on separ-
ated milk entirely at two weeks Of age.
but this should not be attempted with
weak ones. Until the calf Is in vigor-
Gus and thrifty condition no attempts
should be made to change to separated
milk. This change should always be
made gradually.
For the first four days, from eight to
twelve pounds Of milk from the dam
should be fed. After this time the
milk may be from any COW or cows In
the herd, but preferably not from any
that are nearly dry. Milk containing
not more than per cent OF butterfat
Is considered the best for this pur-
pose.
At the beginning Of the third week
the substitution of either skim or sep
arated milk may commence at the rate
of one pound day. The quantity of
the daily ration may be increased two
to four pounds, depending upon the
vigor Of the calf. The quantity, how
ever, should be kept well below the
capacity Of the calf; that is, when 1t
does not drink eagerly what is offered,
the quantity should be cut down.
At the beginning Of the fourth week,
from one-half to headquarters Of the
milk ration should be separated milk.
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1918-03-22

During the week the change should be
continued until by the end Of the week
only separated milk Is fed. With espe.
cially vigorous calves the change to
separated milk may be made about q
week earlier.
After this time separated milk may
be fed entirely unless the calf is very
delicate. The quantity fed can be
gradually increased until 18 to 20
pounds day are given. 1t is usually
not economical to feed more than this
unless milk Is very plentiful.
The time that milk should be discon'
tinued depends upon Its cost in rela.
tion to the value Of the calf, its breed,
size, vigor, etc. The season in which
It reaches the age Of six months and
the other feeds available at that time
must also be taken into consideration.
Six months Ii probably a good average
age at which to wean calves from milk.
When the best Of hay, silage. and a
good variety Of grains are available
the calf may be weaned earlier than
when such feeds are lacking. The sea-
son of good, succulent pasturage pre-.
sents the best possible condition for
weaving a calf, and when this exists
the calf can be weaned earlier than
when 1t Is lacking.
When the calf Is two months old
and II 1t Is carefully watched, sour
milk, whether whole, skim, or butter.
milk, may be fed without harmful re.
suits. provided the change from sweet
milk is made gradually. 1t is not we'll

Quart Jar for Canning.
Canning In most homes Is done in
quart Jars. It Is reasonable to assume
that the two-quart packs may be used
to offset the pint packs, specialists
say, and that therefore the total pack
estimated might safely be expressed in
quarts. Placing a general average
value Of 20 cents a quart upon this
product, the estimated value Of her
metically sealed food canned in homes
Is $17O,OOO,OOO. In most cases this
food was produced on the farm or in
the backyard garden, was canned in
the family kitchen, stored in the pan
try, and Is being consumed in the
home. The transportation facilities Of
the country were not taxed in the pro-
duction of this food and In most cases
1t was produced on soil that otherwise
would have been Idle, with labor that
would have been unable to find useful

FEDERAL SERVICE SHOWS
MORE SUGAR CONSUMED

Returns from the first war
emergency food survey made by
the Y. S. department Of agricul-
ture indicates that the amount
OF sugar consumed In 1917
was about SS.3 pounds per
capita whereas the average
annual consumption for the
five-year period ending in 1916
was S4.7 pounds per capita. The
evident increase in consumption,
says the department, Is due in
part to the increased manufac-
ture for export Of commodities
like condensed milk and to an
increase In population coupled
with an increased consumption
by individuals and to an in
crease in consumers stocks.

TOO MUCH SALT HARMFUL.

A typical example Of acciden-
tai poisoning by salt has been
described by a correspondent Of
the bureau Of animal industry In
a letter reading as follows:
"a cake was made at home
and by mistake salt was used
instead Of sugar. We fed the
cake to a pen Of nine pullets
eight months old. The next
morning they were all found
dead. VIII you please be kind
enough to let me know what you
think of It? Will too much salt
kill chIckens?"
Fowls are very susceptible to
poisoning by common salt. as
one-fifteenth OF an ounce of salt
per pound of live weight is suff1-.
cient to kill. It is very danger
Gus to allow fowls access to
pickle brine Of any sort. particu-
larly that used for salt fish.
