How to Succeed

Good cows. good labor, good seed good barns, proper equipment and careful san tation all demand an expenditure oi money. Dairying is to be regarded, therefore, in the light of a business proposition, requiring careful study and the application of business methods. For getting this, invites failure.
 A COW should be retained on the farm or in the dairy herd not because she is Ia friendly old bossy. but because it Is profitable to retain her.
 Sentiment must not be considered in the selection and preservation of the COW for farm or dairy. She must be qualified to take and retain her place upon the basis of her merit as milk producer Her office is too important to be occu. pied by mere pretender.

Some Poultry Don'ts

Don't allow your hens to eat de- cayed flesh of any kind unless you
 want them to get down with limber- neck and have many of them die from
 the effect of it.
 Don't allow filth and dampness to
 abound in and around your poultry
 roosting house. it will cause roup and
 it's various attending ills.
 Don't let the mites and lice get the
 upper hand about your place and cause
 you untold trouble and loss of both
 old and young stock.
 Don't be afraid to give your fowls an abundance of green stuff at all sea sons and all times: it is their sal- vation, whether they are old or young. Don't be afraid to invest a few dol lars in good stock any more than you would in improved seeds and grain to insure success.
 Don't keep any males with the fe- males unless you intend hatching the eggs. Eggs for market will keep much 1 longer if they are not fertile. Don't put all sizes, shapes and colors of eggs in one lot for market; learn to grade them so they will look as
 much like one hen laid them all as possible.
 Don't allow dirty. stale egg to get into your market basket. no matter how high they are or how badly you need the money.
 Don't be afraid to work with your
 poultry the year round. as it is the only road to success. and one must stick to the right track. Keep up | interest in your poultry both winter | an6 summer No matter what other duties you have. they should not be neglected.
 l Don't expect every egg to hatch when you buy eggs for that purpose ! from some good breeder. Your owr
 eggs. as rule. will not do that well. 1 Don't attempt to raise more than one 1 kind of good sta andard- bred chickens l Learn to specialize.

Secretary Percheron Society of America Horse production has been greatly
 reduced in the past two years. Buyers who are much in the country report that there are very few foals in sight this spring, and not many yearlings.
 This is borne out by field investiga-
 tions made the last week of May by
 the Percheron Society of America. While some communities have kept up
 fairly we'll on horse production, there has been tremendous decrease as a whole. Thousands of farms in the corn
 belt states have not enough young horses coming on to supply their own requirements for replacement. Instead
 of having surplus to sell, they must buy
 There is shortage in the world s
 supply of draft horses. War inter- fered with horse breeding operations in France and Great Britain, and drew heavily on their existing supply. The real lack of heavy teams has been felt
 most acutely in the past 10 months. Prices have been advancing steadily. Americans recently returned from Great Britain report that heavy draft geldings, such as are selling in the United States at $500 to S325, are bring l ing from $500 to 5000 each over there. The opportunity to profit by the expor- ! tation of draft horses is great, but im- | possible of realization, for ship space l is not available, and the exportation l of such horses has been forbidden by our government on military grounds. I There will undoubtedly be large ex- ports of horses after the war. This | trade will take our heaviest and best. Our own city trade has been steady l. and has taken all good ge1dings over 1900 pounds at prices from $240 up. The 1 better onces, over 1900 pounds, and Of the right type, have brought from s275 1 to $S25 in the country. This market for heavy horses, which takes heavy geld ings and dry mares at good prices, will continue, for the big drayage com 1 panies, in the business from the stand point of dollars and cots are stick l ing to heavy horses for : per eaat ef their work, and as these mon are iu the l business from a pursiF r0nmercta'

 outlet for heavy drafters in our large cities
 l It must not be forgotten that the area in which draft horses are pro-
 duced in such numbers as to provide a surplus over local needs is very lim- | iited The United States is the only na-

Bv MRS. JOHN c. MOSES

By MRS. JOHN c. MOSES
 You were appealed to. for the sake
 of the country's needs. to grow more
 poultry. You have grown more poultry. Now. the object in having more poultry grown was not to furnish more feed for lice and mites.
 If you allow the vermin to flourish, they will consume not only the chicken meat that ought to release other meats for the soldiers overseas, but they will shut off the egg supply. Hens infected with mites and lice will not produce | leggs in summer.
 Getting rid of the pests is a fairly yard dust bath for the hens plenty of sunlight and air, little chemical treatment for any hens that may have become infested-that's all
 Drudgery2 We'll, while you are stopping lime around or putting pinches of powder into the feathers of a hen, just play like you are gass- l ing Germans. It amounts to that in the long run.
 1 The United States department of agriculture will furnish detailed in- 1 formation as to how to do it.
 1 The backyard poultry keeper in common with others must bear in mind 1 the fact that chickens will not give adequate returns in eggs or growth if they are permitted to be infested with 1 lice and mites. Probability of such
 infestation is largely eliminated by providing in the poultry house ade- quate air space lighting, ventilation
 and frequent cleaning. These things however, cannot be wohlly relied upon ] to prevent either lice or mites
 l readily available dust bath, more
 than any other single thing, perhaps enables the chickens themselves to get
 rid of lice and mites. If such a place i is not available in the yard, a boN 1 large enough for the hens to get into ! should be provided in the house and l a quantity of dust. such as ordinary l road dust or fine dirt, placed in it tc allow the hens a place to dust them. 1 selves.
 | To rid the hens of lice, each one can be treated by placing small pinches l of sodium fluorid, material whicl 1 can be obtained at most large drus stores, among the feathers next to tht 1 skin-one pinch on the head, one or
 the neck, two on the back, one on the
 breast, one below the vent, one at the base of the tail, one on either thigh and one scattered on the underside o each wing when spread. Another method is to use a small quantity O blue ointment. piece about as larg, las pea on the skin one inch below
 the vent. If mercurial ointment i nseud instead of blue ointment. i should be diluted with an equal quan tity of vaseline. Any of these meth | ods will be found very effective il lridding the hens of lice and should be employed whenever the lice becom troublesome. Two or three applica tions a year usually prove sufficient Mites are more troublesome ant more harmful than lice. They do no live upon the birds like the lice, bu during the Jay hide in the cracks an, crevices of the roosts and walls 0 the house, and at night they come ou
 and get upon the fowls. They suck tn hens blood, and if allowed to becom lplentiful-as they certainly will if no destroyed-will seriously affect he
 health and consequently her abilit to lay eggs. They may be eradica te lby a few thorough applications o

Potatoes and Cheese

Arrange a layer of sliced raw or boiled potatoes in a greased baking dish and sprinkle with grated cheese. Repeat until the dish is nearly full.

The length of time required de- bends upon whether the potatoes are raNs or boiled and whether the baking dlsh nsed is deep or shallow Boiled potatoes naked in a shallow dish will take only 20 minutes Raw potatoes in deep dish may take as much as one and one-half hours.

GOVERNMENT AND
 FARM LABOR

No department of government has any authority under the law to seize labor nor can the government create labor The best we can do is to study each situation and to furnish informa- tion and every possible assistance m shifting labor from one neighborhood or region to another, and if that is not possible in given case to call upon the towns and cities dependent upon agriculture to mobilize all town men of farm experience for aid to farm CTS. if need be, by substituting women in stores and shops in order to re- lieye the temporary emergency--Clar- : ence Ousley, Assistant Secretary or Agriculture.
