MARCH OF THE PAPER DOLLAR

In the old days when we didn't have
much money, but had muscular Shout
ders and wore stout jeans, we had no
quarrel with the silver dollar, says the
ST. Paul Dispatch. When we possess
ed money it was a comfort to hear it
Jingle. to feel it weighing on our gal
luses. But since we have become pros
porous we have put away our desire
for the physical evidence of money.
We want something that does not wear
holes in our modern effete pockets. We
want something which does not make
us round-shouldered to carry about.
And so has spread the custom OF
the one-dollar bill. The cartwheel was
first banished from the East. Now 1t
is possible to trade almost anywhere
In ST. Paul and get your five-dollar bill
changed with paper ones. In the small
err towns, the towns Of the frontier and
the West, the ponderous coin, support
ed by the muscular shoulders, the stout
leans and the galluses, is still toler-
ated.
But the demand for paper dollars is

using five to seven seed to the hill. Ex-
perimentS indicate that the drilled
crops yield the heavier.
A final narrowing may be given just
before the seed comes up. Level cult
walton should be practiced after plant
ing. The bean is a shallOwroOted
plant, hence care should be exercised
to avoid injury by cultivating deep
near the plant. Following the appear
ance of the blossoms, and after the
vines begin to run, cultivation should
be done at less frequent intervals, ex-
cept in case of severe drought. This
has a tendency to check vine growth
and to encourage seed production.
Beans should not be cultivated when
the foliage is wet because it has a
tendency to encourage anthracnOse. A
one-horse cultivatOr or a twO-rOw TRUCK
crop cultivator are excellent tools for
this work A surface corn cultivator
can also be adjusted to this purpose.
The crop should be harvested as
soon as the pods mature and before
they begin to shell. On a field basis
cutting tool is required. A special bean
harvester can be secured or a surface
corn cultivator may be adapted for this
work by removing the two inside
blades and the rakes. Set the two out
side blades to form ''V" with the in
side point just touching so as to shave
the plants off at the surface of the
ground. Growers report the use of an
ordinary pillow with long shear and
the mold board removed for cutting
the vines. On small patches the vines
may be pulled by hand.
The pulled beans, while still damp
are forked into small piles or they may
be punched with a sidedelivery rake
The piles should not be over 212 feet in
diameter, and 4 to feet In height. Ii
the shocks get wet, they should be
opened and turned as one would hay
AS soon as the shocks become fairly
dry. the crop may be stacked under
shelter or threshed. The threshing
should not be done until the beans be-
come bone dry.
The vines. which have gone through
sweat and are properly cured, have
tougher seed, and hence there is less
damage from split beans in threshing.
A grain separator may be used for
threshing beans. Take out all but one
row of concave teeth and alternate
, rows of the cylinder teeth. The beans
should not pass back over the cylinder
a second time. The machine should be
| operated at low speed, from 300 to 400
revolutions per minute. A limited acre
age can be threshed with a fail or beat
| out with a stick In this way, there
| is very little loss and at the present
high prices hand cleaning can be done
at profit, as a winter job.

Skim Milk Is Valuable
As a Beverage, in Cookery;

At creameries where whole milk is
handled, skim milk is often thrown
down the drains. CreamerieS ought

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER

The more water the hens drink the
better off they are both in winter and
summer. The water supply is almost
as important as the reproducing ra-
ton.
Beginning with the first freezing
weather l arrange to keep the fowls
supply Of drinking water reasonably
warm for them, notes a writer in Farm
Progress. In the coolest weather l
simply warm the water to a tempera-
ture OF about body heat, or SO degrees
Fahrenheit Then | place it where
the birds can reach it. If out of the
wind and under shelter it will take
two or three hours for it to get down
to freezing temperature again.
1t stimulates egg laying by prevent
ing the chill that must follow the
drinking of water at icy temperatures.
It takes food as well as shelter to
keep O hen warm in winter. The cold
err the weather the more food energy
necessary to keep the body tempera-
ture where it should be. If hen
drinks water only a few degrees above
the freezing point it will take con-
siderable percentage of the daily ration
to keep her temperature normal.
A supply of good, clean and moder-
ately cool drinking water should be in
reach of the chickens the year round.
1t takes q good deal of water to soften
the rations so they can be properly
cc;Y iIo+ cd on1 TO hu tho blood
The lack of water always checks the
digestive operations and this checks
the egg-laying activities of the organs.
I manage to supply water of mOder-
ate temperature two or three times
daily during the cold weather. This
amount will keep the hens healthy and
keep them laying eggs and putting on
flesh if the grain and vegetable ration
is satisfactory.
Some winters ago found that water
warmed to the right temperature and
placed in stone crooks or bowls would
retain the heat longer than if placed
in pans or iron vessels. The thicker
the stoneware the better it will retain
the heat.
At this time of the year and on until
April this task is most important one.
The chickens will be rather closely con-
fined to their scratching sheds and to
the poultry houses. Nevertheless, just
as mucn water is necessary for the
natural processes of digestion and egg
laying as at any other time in the
year.
IT takes but few minutes two or
three times a day to heat water to
temperature that will make 1t COM
Portable for the flock. Unless this is
done, the usual slump in winter laying
may be expected, no matter how much
attention is given to balanced rations
guaranteed to produce eggs.

Automobile Industry May
Be Rated as Largest by
Next Government Census

The automobile industry is rated as
the third largest in this country. Those
who should know believe the next gov
eminent census will rate it as our
largest industry, Forbes Magazine
states.
There are 100000 wage earneBs de-
pendent for their bread upon the MAX
ing of the $1,00O,OOO0OO worth of cars
and parts turned out the past year
It has been the despair of the motor
makers to take census of how many
more are employed in garages, as
chauffeurs, as mechanics, in service
stations as statesmen, etc. Another
100000 might cover these. So, count
ing five to the family, there must be de-
pendent upon the industry fully ten
per cent Of our total population.
There are $50 makers of passenger
cars and trucks, and Il of these turn
out over so per cent of the entire
product. There are S25 makers of
parts.
Yhe industry consumes about $780,
100000 worth of iron and steel; $780,
100000 of lumber; $20,00O,O00 of brass,
$32,O00,000 of copper, $25,O00,000 of
cotton fabrics; $2OO00,00O of coal and
coke; $26000,O00 of tin; $16,00O,OO0 of
lead, $42,000,O00 of electrical equip
ment, and $24,0O0,O00 hides and hair,
to mention the value of only a few
items. There are over 100000 trucks
and 100000 passenger cars in opera
ton in this country. The advertising
bill runs well over $23,0OO,OOO annu-
ally, to say nothing of the money spent
for advertising tractors and other gas
engined machines, which may be
properly classified as belonging to the
industry.

Bread an AIinent.

Bread does not contain a sufficient
quantity of albumen needed by the
organism. An analysis of bread goes
to show that it contains a relatively
large amount of water, /. e., over 40
per cent, but relatively small guam
tity of nitrogen compounds, viz,
seven to eight per cent. OF fats it
generally contains very little, but of
substances free of nitrogen, such as
starch, large quantities. From this
it follows, asserts a writer, that bread
can by no means be a flood" but at
best an aliment.

Ancient Lamps.

The candle is in appearance a prIm-
tive affair, yet there is little doubt
that it's predecessor was the lamp.
Those old Egyptian tombs, which have
unlocked many mysteries, held lamps
and through them evidence of ancient
burial customs. Lamps played part
in the solemn feasts of the Egyptians,
who on such occasions placed them
before their houses, burning them
throughout the night. Herodotus, III
one of his numerous references TO
Xerxes. alludes to the hour or lamp
lighting, and evidences abound re-
garding the use of lamps among the
ancient Greeks. Lamps, indeed, are
pictured upon some Of their Oldest
vases, indicating the symbolic signln-
canoe which attached to them.

idle, to say nothing of that which IS
inadequately farmed. This would make
five-acre farms for a million families.
In the meantime the cities are full
of people whose greatest ambition IS
to own a piece of this waste land ana
to convert it into productive homes.
There is no proper agency to bring
these men and the land together. There
is only the land agent, whose name has
often become one of reproach. His
sole object is to sell land for as much
money as possible. His responsibility
ends there There is no agency that
goes further that establishes the man
on the land, that makes him success.
Even if the man in the city gets good
land and at a fair price, 1t is practi-
cally impossible for him to establish
himself and make success without
guidance and cooperation. The ma
chine is not built up that will convert
him from city-dwelling wage Garner
to an independent farmer. That is ex-
actly the machinery that should be de-
veloped. The proper agency to super

ment. The time rs now.
When the two million to be trained
for the army come home there will be

opportunity. The nation should pre-
pare the way.

The small-seeded type of navy called
the pea bean is in greatest demand.
An increased acreage of beans will
be an important contribution to the ma
TONS food supply. But to make this
increased acreage most prolific, we
must standardiZe our varieties. Plant
only the navy bean, preferably the
small pea variety. This will assist the
grower IN finding a market for his sur
plus. Buy seed from reliable seed deal
ers If possible. Should this supply be
exhausted, the beans sold at stores for
cooking purposes can be drawn upon.
First buy small amount, or secure
sample for termination. Test between
blotters, and if the test shows IS per
cent termination or better they will be
safe.
A sandy loan is best for beans. In
many places the soil may be too fertile,
causing overluxuriant growth of vines
so that the plants bloom but Sparingly
and but little seed sets. Bottom lands
this reason, and also because of dis
eases, some of which are more preva-
lent under conditions where heavy
dews and lack of air drainage are
found, as on such lands. For this rea-
son location is to be preferred where
there is good air drainage. Newly
turned sod may be used for beans with
good results. Such land Is apt to be a
little dry which tends to check vine
growth. Land which is somewhat i'm
poverished is better than a rich soil.
The land should be prepared in the
spring, because If this is deferred I'M
til planting time much of the moisture
which should be conserved for the sum-
mer period will have been lost by evap-
grafton or used by weeds. The seed
bed should be prepared after blowing
and followed at occasional intervals
with the harrow This will kill the
young weeds and conserve the mOis
ture. In this way much of the weed
| fighting can be done before the crop is
planted From 10 to 20 quarts of pea
beans are required per acre. Larger
varieties require more seed, ranging
from the quantities named, to one
| bushel per acre, according to size.
| The bean is distinctly a warm-season
crop and Should not be planted until
! the soil becomes thoroughly warmed
| If planted too early the seed is likely
to rot in cold soil and will not germi-
nate uniformly, making uneven ripen-
| ing. The vine growth is more likely to
be excessive than when planted later
and checked by the hot, dry weather.
Generally speaking, the first half of
! June is ample time for planting shell
beans, and in several instances fair
yields have been secured from plant
ings made as late as the first of July
The limitation on late planting is the
ability of the crop to mature before
frost and unsettled weather for har-
vesting.
Unlike most plants, the bean brings
its seed leaves to the surface when
terminating. If planted too deeply,
this is made difficult On the other
hand, a crop planted shallow may suf-
fer from moisture. From IL to 2
inches is a good average depth For a
small acreage hand drill is satisfac-
tory, the rows being commonly spaced
% to 80 inches apart, with the plants

In the United States the drift of the
people to the cities, the drift of farms
into operation by. tenant farmers, into
ownership in large acreage, by absent
landlords, has been recognized as a
dangerous tendency of the times. But
out of the war will grow many new de-
mands from the people. The man on
the street will appreciate his rights
more clearly and will be more ready
to demand them. Among his most
probable demands will be his right to
the land, asserts Senator Warren G.
Harding of Ohio.
Wise is the nation which sees the
coming of such demand and meets it
before it becomes a menace.

duced.
