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, i'm 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 I'm 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.

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 ut 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

consider that too much consideration
borders on cowardice and that will be
punished very severely"
After this speech OF our captain we
were loaded on our autos and at q.
m. crossed the border into Belgium.
In order to make this historical &C.
casion we were ordered to give three
cheers. On the speedy autos we
reached our goal at 10 n. m. 1t was a
beautiful little rural village. Inhabi-
tants Of the villages we had passed
we all got the impression that these
country people never knew why we
came to Belgium. They were fright
ened out Of their sleep and looked out
at us from their windows.
AS we halted and left our autos, the
farmers came out and offered us cof-
fee. bread, meat, etc. We were still
without a field kitchen, so that we en-
joyed the enemy's offerings more so
since those Of the better class of viii
layers refused any pay. They told us
the Belgian soldiers had departed to
some unknown destination.
After q short rest we marched on
The autos returned. Hardly had we
marched an hour when we were over
taken by cavalry, dragons and hus-
sars. who reported that the Germans
were marching all over the neighbor-
hood on all roads. Right behind came
the bicycle corps.
This was comforting. We no longer
felt alone, isolated In a strange coun-
try. Another bicycle division over
took us and passed on. Angry words
were now uttered by members OF our
company. The others could ride but
we had to walk. What we had always
taken for granted suddenly became
great injustice. II 1t did no good our
grumbling at least was a diversion
from the weight of our packs.

Efficiency and the Beehive.

A productive colony Of bees may be
likened figuratively to a machine which
consumes In friction 90 per cent of the
energy applied. This is not high de-
gree of efficiency when measured by
this standard. The colony in a box
hive, then, is Ekened to such a 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 n machine
may do fair works or 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 a good
machine in the hands Of a 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 figurative comparison must not
be carried too far, and Is used here
only to point out the lamentable waste
In much present-day Bookkeeping.
