OUTLOOK FOR BUILDING GOOD

The prospects for the lumber indus
try and the building trades for 1919
are better than at any time the past
year.
From all over the country comes
news of increased building activities
as restrictions are removed.
Industrial and residence building
programs for the coming year will
make an increasing demand for lum-
Der.
The movement will be slower in the
small towns and cities and the coun-
try than in the large centers of indus
try.
Labor will be more plentiful as it
returns from the shipyards and mu-
milton works and will have to be en-
ployed.
1t is doubtful if lumber and building
material will be any cheaper, but
building hardware and metal will come
down.
Good building lots are certain to adj
vance in price and with foreign de-
mand for lumber opening up it will
not fall in value.
1t is a patriotic duty for all who
plan business or residence building in
1919 to make immediate preparation.
1t will help keep city and country
prosperous and that is the best guar
anty for industries and encouragement
to returning fighting men.

cient animosities in the republican
ranks will meet with any better sue
cess than the efforts of the Germans
to create dissension among the allies.
Osborn Making Jobs
Like other republican senators and
representatives Congressman Henry
z. Osborne of California is making
study of reconstruction problems to
prepare himself for intelligent action
on such matters when they come be-
fore congress for decision. Mr. Os-.
borne has convinced himself that the
most important feature of our post
war needs will be to find employment
for the returning soldiers. ave can
not allow any of our brave army or
navy to suffer for lack of employ
ment," says he, neither can we per-
NIT those who are at present en-
ployed to be thrown out of work"
While a great many men will return
to their old positions, many thousands
will be unable to find work at once,
and it is for those that provision
must be made by the government.
Recognizing the necessity for i'm
proved and extended transportation
systems to take care of our increased
commerce Mr. Osbourne suggests that
the government may well enter upon
construction of an extensive system
of good roads thruout the country.
In the congressman's opinion the work
should be confined to trunk lines and
roads leading to the principal harbors,
leaving to the states and to the local
communities the duty of building lat
eral lines. In conjunction with road
improvement Representative Osborne
believes that rivers and harbors should
be extensively improved and canals
constructed.

STRIKE DELAYED

The delay of the Mooney strike I'M
til the matter is taken up at the Chi
cago convention to decide eff nation
wide strike is desirable" is undoubted-
ly due to the unpopularity of such a
strike with the majority of working
men. So it is openly rumored, any
way, and it is to be hoped that such
is the case. Labor leaders have con-
stantly asserted that they expected a
large majority vote in favor of the

TRANSFERS RESPECT AGREE
MENTS

Press reports say, "Teamsters de-
cline to strike for Mooney-contracts
of unions with employers held more
than scrap of paper"
Good for the teamsters. They hew
true to the line. They stand for
American courts and justice and re-
spect for their agreements.
They distinguish between mob rule
and court rule, between right and
wrong when it comes to breaking
their word.
The public can appreciate this spirit.
The teamsters have done more to
drag the good name of labor unions
back from the mire of bolshevism than
anything that has happened for a long
time.
MONEYS case will be settled in the
courts, not by strikes, and the team
sters union recognizes this.

Spray Your Potatoes

The wet weather which We have been
having is furnishing the best kind OF con-
ditions for starting an epidemic OF late
blight or rust on potatoes. This disease
can be controlled IL the proper precautions
are taken at this time.
Do not wait another day until you sprzy
those potatoes with Bordeaux mixture.
Get the leaves thoroughly covered now,
while the plants are small ana before the
blight gets started. Remember that
spraying is a preventive and not a cure.
You must have the spray on the plants
before the blight comes, in order to pre-
vent infection. No smount of spraying
will cure plant that is infected.
You can get enough blue vitriol and
lime to make fifty gallons of the best Bor-
deaux for less than so cents. Think II
over, can you afford in these times to run
the risk OF losing practically your entire
crop, for the want OF few applications OF
Bordeaux?
Recent crop reports show that the po-
tato crop in the South will be smaller than
last year. Your home crop will furnish
you with the very best OF food, and you
can sell the surplus al good prices. Write

culture, orono, for copy of "A B C's Of
Potato Spraying" bulletin No. 1ie.

Economical milk production depends
upon four principal factors, labor, feed,
milk or butteriat production and manage
meu,.
LABoR-One OF the biggest factors in
economical milk production is that OF
labor. 1t is the greatest single item OF
expense there is connected with the DAIRY
business, standing second TO none.
II we are then going to consider the
question Of producing milk economically
we should give consideration to the
biggest item OF expense first.
There are any quantity OF men in this
State with ten or twelve cows spending
i've and six hours day puttering around
in the barn when by rcsrrsnging their
system of feeding, OF watering and
general plan OF work they could ac-
eomplish as much, get just as good or
better results ana do it in one or two
hours less time.
1t is not a question OF hired labor being
too expensive, it is a question OF employ
ing that labor and our own so that il will
be doing productive work.
The man who can 50 arrange his barn
and the work in 1t as to rid himself OF uu.
necessary labor is getting at the very
heart of cheaper milk production.
FEED-This subject includes two items
of expanse, grain and roughages. Next
to labor our grain bill Is the largest item
OF expense. In the past many dairy men
could afford to raise other products, sell
and buy back our concentrates. How
ever we are now facing altogether different
conditions. The price OF grains have
risen to point where it will be protita BILE

to grow them ourselves, transportation
/ IL so seriously upset that COR concentrates
are fret on and then on our markets, and
the food situation OF the sorld is taking
and will take every form Of cattle food
available for human consumption.
There is bu, one remedy for this aud II
is to be found first in growing all the
corn, oats and barley we can for feeding
purposes, and second in growing all the
irst-ciass quality silage needed to feed
our stock on literally, when they need
rouxhsge.
We may not be able to increase our
usual acreage Of siiage corn because OF
labor conditions bat we may be able to
SOW three or four acres OF miliet and put
this into tie silo. II will take very little
/ irst quality silsge this winter to replace
500 worth Of grain.
MILK or FAT Production cost
! OF maintaining low producing animal IL
very near as much as that Of high pro-
duccr and FIVE are using no methods such
a. weighing and testing the milk to dis
cover the nom producer In our herds 1t is
quite easy to expend q sufficient amount
OF e day labor and s. hundred grain
upon her to eat up the profits of the pro-
duciDg COW. This is especially true II we
are keeping more than one "slacker" in
our herd.
inasmuch as 1t costs the same TO
maintain a COW. whether she be a tow
producer or high producer, TO increase
milk production would be to decrease the
cost OF production. The largest produc-
ing herds, per individual, are producing
milk the cheapest per quart or per pound
OF butter fat. This is one of the most i'm.
portsnt considerations in economical
milk production.
MANAGEMENT Successful dairying, as
successful farming or any other successful
business, depends more upon the manager
than any her factor. OF two dairymeu
doing business under exactly the same
conditions as regards markets, feeds etc.
one will handle 20-ao cows with the same
lahor as his neighbor who is keeping 10
Is. The former will weed out the coSs
which are not profita biz, will buy his grain
on the best market, will be breeding pure
bred stock. In other words he sill be do
ing nearly double the business and doing
1t more economically because he is the
best manager.
Economical milk production In 1918 will
depend upon the right employment OF our
labor, the grow ing OF more OF our grains
and certainly growing more hrst quality
silage, of increasing the milk prod ctian
portant than aI others, upon our ability

As both come to bask in the sweetness

Sorrow must quickly vanish,
Anger and strife must cease;
All from my heart are crowded
BY gladness and love and peace.
There is no place for doubling,
No place for fearing or gloom,
When gaze on the glorious beauty
OF an apple orchard in bloom
Summer will come, with roses,
Autumn, with goldenrod,
Winter, with rudy holly
