hutton of the problem. On farms where
considerable hay is grown methods
must be adopted by which the greater
part of the heavy labor is done by
horses. This will necessitate the gen.
eral use Of certain types of labor-sav-
ing machinery, some Of them not so
common in the East, which have been
thoroughly tested and proved satisfac-
tory In the western part of the United
States. The small hay grower, how
ever, need not make a very heavy In
vestment in new haying apparatus, for
by re-arranging the work of his crew
and using little more horse labor for
the hard work, he can add consider
ably to the efficiency Of his crew.
The time of day when the mower is
started has direct bearing on the
amount Of hay made per day and the
number Of men required. This is es-
pecially true on farms where 1t is the
custom to haul or stack hay in the ar
ternoon only. If moving is done in
the morning and raking in the after
noon, more men and horses than usual
will be required. and If moving and
raking are both done in the afternoon.
still more men and horses win be
needed.
Use Larger Mowers.
The 5-foot cut Is the most common
size used in the East. With the pres
emit scarcity of labor, 1t will be econ
omy to use larger mowers; 9, z, and
even S-foot sizes can be used on q
great many farms. Some idea Of the
time saved by using these larger sizes
may be had when the difference in the
amount Of work done by each is known.
Under average conditions. 5-foot
mower win cut ten acres In ten hours
6-foot mower VIII cut IL acres, a T.
foot II acres, and an S-foot about 10
acres In ten hours. II should be borne
In mind that more power Is required
for the wider cuts. Many alfalfa grow
ers are using the 6-foot cut with good
success. and make a practice Of now
ing early In the morning before the
dew Is on, or even during light rain.
II does not pay to walt until the dew
Is on, before starting the mower, II
the tedder Is used to kick" the water
out Of the hay. The size OF mower
used and the time Of day II Is started
are the most important factors In crew
arrangement The use Of the tedder
and rake are next IN importance, and
these three implements should be kept
clearly in mind when attempting to
solve the problem OF how to make =
small crew efficient.

HOW DOG LOVERS CAN AID.

The dog rightfully holds a
strong place in the minds and
affections of men.
The owner Of a good dog finds
in him q most faithful friend.
But 1t sometimes happens that
the dog most highly esteemed is
also one that kills and worries
the most sheep and is the most
cunning in ObscurIng the evil
dences Of his guilt.
A well-bred dogs habit of ~
ing innoeently asleep In the
front yard during daytime is no
proof that the same dog does
not kill sheep at night.
Because of the economic loss
occasioned by sheep-kllling dogs,
and because such dogs bring
the whole of their kind into bad
repute. the true admirers and
friends OF this animal should
help to further any steps likely
to. result in the limitation of the
activity Of these dlscrediting
members Of noble race.
One of the most practicable
methods Of accomplishing this
result seems to be to place upon
dogs such a tax as viii reduce
the number of superfuous ones
and result in fewer being kept
by persons who cannot or will
not give them the attention nee
essary to prevent the formation
Of habits and associations that
lead to sheep killing.

SHEEP AID FARM LABOR
prepared by the u. S. Department
Of Agricultural

prepared by the u. S. Department
Of Agriculture.)
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 IL maximum crop yields
are to be secured. In this re-
spect sheep can aid in the farm
labor problem. They will eat
most weeds, and on any farm
will greatly reduce the amount
Of hand labor needed TO hold
weeds in check in pastures and
grain fields. Keep sheep and ar
range your farm so they can
help in the fight with weeds.

prepared bv the United States Depart.

Thousands of young men have been
called to the cOlors, and on many farms
this results in a scarcity of labor. The
problem Of the hay grower is how to
handle his crop with a smaller crew
than hitherto, and one often mostly
of middle-aged men and boys. With
methods used heretofore this type of
labor certainly cannot harvest the hay
In the usual time, at least on many
farms in the East and South, where 1t
has been the custom to use a compara-
lively large amount Of hand labor In
making hay.

The molasses used was cattle mo-

1t has been found that in warm ell
mates the poison bats prepared with
alfalfa meal must be used almost i'm
mediately, as they sour IL kept until
the following day. Another objection
able feature is that the meal is usu-
ally so finely ground that 1t cannot be
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 energetlcally than they would
have done If the more expensive bran
mash formula had been used.

MIX AZ Food.

Economy In the diet does not always
depend upon limiting the use Of GER
tain foods. but 1t Is sometimes q ques-
ton Of actually increasing the use Of
foods which furnish nutrltive material
at relatively low cost. Milk belongs
10 the latter class. and the housewife
wculd do well TO study its food value
and decide whether her family Is using
as much as Il should. The average
person In this country uses only q
little more than half . pint Of milk
daily. and this quantity can very prof
itably be increased when safe milk Is
available.
Many people think Of milk only as .
beverage. but n they understood that
1t Is in reality nourishing food they
would Increase their daily allowance.
We eat foods for two main reasons:
First. to renew body wastes and pro-
mote growth BY forming new tissues
and fluids; and. second. to supply en-
ergy for carrying on body functions.
MIX contains the bodybuilding mate
rails tprotein and mineral substances,
such as lime and phosphorus). and
also supplies energy.

RUSSIA BLEEDING ID DEATH FROM THE

Socialist President Says the Conditions Are Far Worse Than During French
 Revolution

Archangel, October .-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press.)-.'Russia is fast bleeding to death through reign of terror which is worse than that Of the French revolution, and it is time the nations of the earth came here to put down one of the world greatest evils, President Nicholas Tschaillovsky of the Provisional Government of the North, told correspondent of the Associated Press today
 Ut is no longer question of politics. he continued Inside the bolshevik lines the situation is worse than the French reign of terror. Victims execu ted now must be counted by the tens of thou sands. All hair-splitting political req sons aside, the world must know that the bolsheviks are no longer even a party, but are now merelya group of men deter mined to hold what they have seized by the merciless slaughter of those who opA pose them.
 Tt is now only the question of put ting down an evil. Persons escaping from Moscow, Petrograd and Vo1ogda and reaching here bring indisputaple stories of the executions. The situation seems beyond the control of some bolshevik leaders who themselves are revolting at the sfoodshed
 President Tschaikovsky said he recently cabled to President Wilson urging the immediate dispatch of more troops.
 Nothing can bring Russia out of this chaos until the bolshcvik terror has been quashed by the force of arms" said Tschaikovsky. s"The force now here is unable to do this quickly Meanwhile hundreds are dying daily

Judging from the countless prepara- uaily being advertised for the purpose of making thin people f,eshy, develop ing arms. neck and bust and replacing curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keehly feel their excessive thinness
 Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained i'll modern foods Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phos- phate known among druggists as bitro- phosphate. which is inexpensive and is sold by Letaws Pharmacy, City Hall building, and all good druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back

when they were asked for one, to the Birmingham laundries, who laundered this large amount of linen free, and to the colored Red Cross units who helped so generously. All of these fine assist ants made the success of the shower pos sible, while the unstinted generosity or the Birmingham men and women who contribute so literally was indispensable, as it would not have been possible to carry the campaign through without their aid.
