Helping on the Farms.

Farm women, boys, and girls in
Indiana are helping food production by
taking the places of the men who have
been called to the colors and the city
industries. Investigation of the cost
Of milk production, conducted by the
dairy division Of the United States
department of agriculture, in co-opera-
ton with Purdue university, shows
that, in 1856 hired men performed
nearly half of the work In the diaries
In the Chicago milk district of northern
Indiana. A year later, after many Of
these men had left to join the army or
responded to the higher wages paid by
the steel mills and munition factories
at Gary, Ind, and other cities, the
women and young people went out to
the barns and are now performing over
half of the labor which was formerly
done by the hired men. The men who
are left at home are also spending
more time in the diaries, but, were 1t
not for the fact that their families are
helping them, they would have consid-
erably less time to devote to the pro-
duction of much-needed crops.

BENEFIT OF SHADE TREES
In Wisconsin Owner is Given Annual
Bounty of Three Cents for Each
Rod Of Highway.

The Wisconsin law provides that
financial consideration may be given
by the state to people who plant and
cultivate trees by the roadside. Ev-
cry person along or through whose
lands a highway passes may plant and
cultivate on one or both sides Of the
road where he shall own land, trees
of such varieties as commonly grow at
least 40. feet high. These must be
set two rods or less apart and in a
row within eight feet of the outer line
of the highway.
When such trees reach IL feet in
height the superintendent of highways
shall give the owner upon request a
certificate accepting the trees as pub
lie shade trees. Thereafter they be-
long to the public and are protected as
public property, but the title to them
or to the fruit they bear belongs to
the owner as long as he maintains
the trees and replaces such as die.
The owner shall receive an annual
bounty of three cents for each rod of
highway along which such trees are
planted on one side and six cents If
planted on both sides, to be credited
on his highway taxes.

Efficiency and the Beehive.

A productive colony Of bees may be
likened fguratively to machine which
consumes in friction 80 per cent of the
energy applied. This is not high de-
gree of efficiency when measured by
this standard. The colony in box
hive, then, is 1ikened to such machine
in bad repair and with no attention, in
which all the energy is used simply to
drive the wheels. Such machine Is
totally unproductive. The properly
housed colony which is badly manipu-
lated is then comparable to the ma
chine insgood repair but In the hands
of a poor mechanic. Such machine
may do fair work sfor a time, but the
mechanic fails to do the necessary
work at the right time and the machine
is only occasionally productive. Final
ly, the productive colony is like good
machine in the hands of good me-
chanic While energy is consumed
simply to run the machine, the good
mechanic does the right work at the
right time and obtains the greatest pos
sible reward in the machines output.
Such a fignrative comparison must not
be carried too far, and is used here
only to point out the la-nentable waste
in much present-day Bookkeeping.

The master painter who undertakes
to handle the finishing contract under
present-day conditions causes consid-
cradle friction before the contract Is
completed. Oftentimes the general
contractor has been delayed and the
outside work has not gone along as

suit that the floors are tracked up and

with his curtain outfits just when 1t Is
advantageous to varnish the trim and

whether, after all, ut is better to

TAR AND GRAVEL APPARATUS
Device Invented by New Jersey Man
ufacturer for Heating Materials
for Pavements.

Emulating the famous hunter of the
olden days who killed two birds with
one stone, a New Jersey manufactures
has recently brought out a combina-
ton tar and gravel heater that heats
these two dissimilar materials quite in
dependently but with one operation.
The device, which is shown In the &C
companying illustration, is particularly
fitted for street paving where block
pavements with tar joints are laid.
The apparatus consists of two main
parts, rectangular tar kettle and a
Y-shaped gravel bin, with n furnace
extending beneath both parts. from
one end to the other. The furnace Is
fred from the gravel end of the de-
vice. The smoke and gases escape
through an ordinary stove pipe in the
kettle end. The inside of the gravel

and more permanent. because 1t is not
being influenced by undue moisture in
the plaster and walls. The first thing
to be done is to start with the upper
most rooms and clean all walls. doors,
castings, trim and floors very carefully
and thoroughly, closing and locking
each room as it is cleaned. This pro-
cedure should be followed down to
the basement, and all material swept
up should be carefully taken out of
the building.
Spirit Stains Hard to Apply.
The woodwork and standing trim
should firstsbe stained. shellacked and
filed. The former should be water
or Oil stain. Avoid spirit stains, be-
cause they are exceedingly difficult to
apply free from laps and Holidays"
and are not permanent to light The
shellac coat may be either orange or
white, depending upon whether or not
the work is dark or light. Shellac
should be reduced one-half with dena-
tured alcohol; do not use wood alco-
hol If you wish to avoid the possibility
of blindness resulting from the expos
ure to fumes In q closed room. Never
apply shellac as an undercoat In full
body; it is merely a sizing coat for the
wood and win prevent much cloudiness

is applied Let the shellac coat dry
at least three hours, more II the rooms
are cold. Prepare the filler, being
sure to use one. prepared from a slick
base and not from cbrnstarch or flour,
which will shrink and fade when the
OIL has been absorbed by the wood.
Freedom From Dust Big Aid.
After the varnish has dried three
days, or longer, 1t should be sanded
free from nibs with No. 00'or 0000 sand
paper. The trim should be carefully
busted; better still, sponged with
clear water and dried with channels.
| The floors should receive the same
| treatment. If this method is followed,
and the rooms kept closed. an enor-
nous amount of sanding will be saved
In the end because of great freedom

is expected to turn out clean, well-var-
nished and enameled work; walls free
from finger marks left by other men
than his own, weIl-polished floors, free
frem heel-marks and scratches. The
strange part of it is that ninety times
out of hundred he can stand the
GAIT from everybody and deliver real
ly good job in the end.
For safety's sake, however, the mas
ter painter should have 1t stipulated
In his specifications that all inside
work shall be complete and accepted;
all refuse and dirt removed from all
rooms, closets and halls; that he will
not be responsible for results If plumb
ers, masons, carpenters, decorators or
others come in and cause dust, litter
or other annoyance, while working on
the fulfillment of his contract. If this
is agreed to in black and white before
the contract is signed, but little trou-
BILE will be experienced later on when
the work is under way. No master
painter need be afraid that he will
lose a contract because of such insist
encc, TOT the owner, Ill ulHe cases oul
of ten, will respect him all the more
for the evidence Of care shown under
the circumstances especially If he has
explained to him something of the why
and wherefore, and that he will be
able to get into the new house more
quickly because the contract can be
more easily fulfilled.
Plaster Should Dry Three Weeks.
No inside work should be attempted
until the plaster has dried at least
three weeks, nor should the last coat
of outside finish be applied until after
this time has elapsed. The printing
and second coats on the siding protect
the lumber from external moisture,
cold and heat conditions, but at the
same time / am convinced that they
also exert valvular action and allow
internal moisture to escape. For this
reason / much prefer to apply the last
coat OF finish on new houses after all
the inside work Of sizing, papering,
painting and vanishing is done. Then
the outside last coat will hold its gloss
longer and the inside finish be brighter

Carry Heavier Loads.

Reports from railroads and shippers
show that under the stress of car short
age freight cars have been carrying
heavier loads than in the past and in
some cases maximum safe loading has
been worked out for certain crops.
The department Of agriculture and the
railroads are endeavoring to educate
shippers to the necessity for proper
spacing, arrangement, and bracing Of
loads in cars to prevent injury in tran
sit.
Shipments of carefully graded pro-
duce, such as peaches put up in good
hampers have been received at market
in such condition that they had to be
repacked before they could be sold,
many hampers being SO broken that
the loss of fruit was great. All this
because the hampers were not prop
erly spaced and braced in the cars.
Even when loads are braced prop
erly and arrive intact, inattention to
requirements of refrigeration and ven
tilation often results in great losses
through mold and decay. Efficient
loading of perishables prohibits put
ting SO much In a car as to result in
such losses. The limit Of safety must
be adhered to even though there Is
danger through car shortage of not be-
ing able to ship the entire crop. Ii
cars are properly loaded with open
spaces between packages and an ample
air passage beneath floor racks, the
maximum weight of carloads may be
greatly increased, with less danger
from loss than with light loads put
In the cars indifferently. Very perish
able produce, such as cherries, peaches,
pears, and plums, being shipped under
refrigeration, need special attention In
this regard, since fruit loaded within
two feet of the roof does not receive
proper refrigeration, and unless this
space is open the remainder of the
load is In danger through inadequate
circulation of air to and from the ice.

PROPER LOADING
TO AVOID WASTE
Greater Care on Part of Shippers
in Packing Perishable Pro-
duce Is Urged.
HEAVIER LOADS ARE CARRIED
Heavy Demands on Railroads Due to
War Conditions Have Increased
Difficulties In Handling Fruits
and Vegetables.

1t is not enough to select, grade, and
pack perishable produce carefully; 1t
must be properly loaded in the cars to
prevent food waste. Many thousands
Of pounds of fruits and vegetables that
were not properly loaded in freight
cars arrive at large market centers In
such condition that they must be re-
packed and sold at low prices, while
some cargoes are practically ruined
from shifting and lack Of ventilation in
transit.
But the loss Is not borne entirely by
the producer and shipper, for today,
with the nation at war, every freight
car must haul more cargo, and Inn
proper loading, which wastes food, also
wastes car space, because cars loaded
carelessly do not serve the nations
needs.

DON'T WASTE CAR SPACE

You know that, at this time,
food is precious and that none
of It can be allowed to go to
waste.
DO you know that, at this time,
freight car space Is equally
precious and that to waste 1t is
to invite disaster?
When shipments of produce
and other perishable food prod
ucts are not properly packed in
the car, they fare badly and
there is loss of food.
When produce, vegetables and
the like are not properly packed
In the car, there Is loss of equal
ly valuable car space.
For your own protection from
money loss, and for the protec-
tion of the country from food
loss and shipping loss, exercise
scrupulous care to see that ship
ments are packed properly in
the car.
