wood lot the walnu.. well ripensds began to drop. and
It behooved the sna,l boy to bs prompt ana active. for
tho squirrels were busy those Indian summer days, and
there would be no nuts for hin who waited.
Then there was the winter evenings, with dry maple
glowing in the kitchen stove. the walnut shells cracking
merrily as the ANAL boy fed shovelful after shovelful into
the fire after sorting out the rich brown meats. Walnut
meats and sweet cider make a rich combination, and
deep. generous slices Of cake completed q noble repast.
Then there was the wood itself. The boy Of those
days was apt to have more to do with the demolition OF
walnut fences than with their construction, but his father
had split hundreds Of walnut rails for his stakes,and-
ridered fences, not because walnut was desirable above
all other wood for rails, but because there was plenty Of
it. it was in the way. something must be done with 1t,
and 1t was Of little use for anything else. So down the
great trees came. and they were sawn into lenxths,3and
their trunks were riven with wedges, and miles Of fence
were built Of them. And the small boy Of half a century
ago aided in the tearing down Of some of those old fences
to make way for new. Then came tragedy. Those rails,
faded by the sun and wind, dry as finder. made splendid
fuel. And it was part Of the business Of the small boy
to saw those rails up for stove wood. And, hour after
hour, and day after day, when the school work was done.
in the short winter term, and before it was time to bed
down the stock, the hated saw shrieked its way protest
ingly through those rails. And. when the last rail was
cut and the pile was Strengthened out, the small boy went
to supper with the knowledge that there were no more
walnut rails to saw-wasn't that a grand and glorious
feeling?
And now, in order to get material for a few train
loads Of gun-stocks, it is necessary for the government to
put detectives on the trail of walnut trees.

that seems to have characterized our operations up to
date. An. appropriation Of $40, ooo, 900 was made for
airplane construction. the money is gone, and we have
practically no airplanes in France yet. It was to be ex-
pected that the work would not go forward as smoothly
and Is rapidly as it would have done in a we'll ordered
private plant under normal conditions. Aside from the
difficulty that there is in getting anything that is in the
hands Of a political body down to a business basis there
was the tremendous fact that it had been necessary for

to be expected that diniculties would be encountered,
that men entrusted with particular pieces Of work would
in some cases fail to deliver the goods, that articles en-

should have cost, and that there would be some con-
fusion and not a little waste.
All of these things were to be expected as the in
enterprise where there were required not only ire
mendous volume but phenomenal speed. But the
charges that are made go far beyond this. They give
us to understand that there has been. not the waste due
to ine1perience and haste, but a squandering of the
public funds for the deliberate purpose of private gain.
and that while this thieving has been going on, our own

AS TO JOHN STEEN

The following article with reference to the candi-
dacy Of Hon. John steen for governor comes from the
Rugby Tribune, which has had ample opportunity to
become acquainted with the man:
ut seemssato bel forexone conclusion that Pierce
county will have the honor Of being the home Of the
next candidate for governor to contest the nomination
Tribune does not know that John Steen will consent to
be a candidate. but We hope that he will. We do not
pretend to prophecy that even. If he is, he can defeat
Mr.. Townleys man, but we feel sure Of one thing, and
that is this: that if John steen can't do it there is no
use of any one else trying to do it, because it can't be
done. and whether he wins or not, Mr.. Townley's man
will know that he has been in a foot race when he gets
through. We know that the old tstand-pat' element OF
the old Republican party would rather. have some man
man that is absolutely Independent and absolutely his
own boss, and with very high ideals Of personal and
public integrity. Even the Nonpartisan league can find
nothing seriously wrong with Mr.. Steen, except that he
refuses to come into the Townley camp, just the same
- he refused to bend his knee to the old-time political
machine Of this state. We don't believe that anyone
would care to assume the responsibility Of saying that
Mr.. Steen is not honest and that he has not conducted
himself, both as a private citizen and as a public official
ne is not q farmer. So far as We know, he is the only
state Official holding Office at this time, beside Frazier,

CHEAPER POULTRY
RATI0NS
prepared by the United states Depart

prepared by the United states Depart
ment of Agricultural
The demand for wheat for human
consumption necessifates that Ii be
used as economically and sparingly
as possible for feeding animals and
chickens. Some "just as good" ra-
lions which contain no wheat have
been tried out in egg laying tests by
the United States department of az
riculture, and excellent results have
been secured. Thirty laying hens, TO
which wheatless rations We're fed.
produced in the two years covered
by the test on al average Of 147.3
eggs for the nullet year. and 121 eggs
during the second year. This com
pares fayorably with egg yields Sc
cured on other rations containing
wheat, and therefore more expensive.
The wheatless ration is also being
tried on a pen of Buff Orpington pull
lets and during the past ten months
they have laid on an average of 111.3
eggs. a very good yield for this pc
Rod.
The wheatless ration used IA as
follows:
Scratch mixture 1.-Two pounds of
cracked corn, one pound Of oats.
Dry Mash-Three pounds Of corn
meal, one pound Of beef scrap.
The scratch mixture was fed spar
ingly. the hens being permitted to eat
about as much of it as of tbs dry
mash. During the two-year test the
hens we're provided with free range
where they could pick a variety Of
green feed. Leghorn pullets were
used and 1t was found that IL took
4.6 pounds of feed to produce a dozen
eggs. Fffty-two pounds of grain was
, consumed by each pullet annually,
and of this amount twenty-six pounds
was from the scratch mixture. When
wheat Is omitted from the ration IL Is
advisable to feed more beef scrap.
Laying hens should have a good sup
ply Of protein, and the additional beef
scrap supplies this essential In n of
the cheapest forms.
Cotton seed meal used to replace
half the beef scrap in the mash has
given good results on the government
poultry farm and has had 10 bad ef-
feet on the quality of the eggs. Where
cotton seed meal replaced all the beef
scrap the results were unsatisfactory
both in number and quality OF eggs.
Mussel meal has not proven as good
a substitute for beef scrap as fish
meal, which. TO the amount of % per
cent Of the mash. has affected the
flavor or the taste of the eggs.
