Food-Producins Machines in Operation.

Food-Producins Machines in Operation. lief is not substantiated by the feeding tests that have been conducted at sev- eral agricultural experiment stations. A full feed of grain to hogs on good pasture not only produces the most rapid gains, but usually gives the most profitable results. When account Is taken of the saving of labor and the reducing of loss from disease by mar keting animals at seven and nine months of age instead of keeping them for year or more, the advantage Is almost always with the more rapid growth. The self-feeder system which permits hogs to eat grain at will either in pastures or dry lots is becoming more and more popular in the corn belt states, and there seems to be no valid reason why self-feeders should not prove equally successful in all parts of the country.

Chinese Salvation Army.

A new element has been added to
the night life of Peking and Tien-tsin,
strange and yet familiar to occasional
sightseers from western countries.
The "Chiou Shih Chun." or Save
World Army" is conducting Its open
air meetings on the street corners OF
the Chinese cities, and the spectacle
reproduces in China scene that was
equally strange in the great cities OF
England and America when the Saliva
ton army first came into existence.
For "Chiou Shih Chun" is Chinese for
"Salvation army" in land where the
language has no exact verbal equiva-
lent for salvation" and must do Its
best by the combination "save-world."
Less than three years ago the Saliva
ton army made It's start in China,
and party of forty officers from the
West tackled the job Of mastering
enough Of the language to begin oper-
ations. At present there are FIVE corps
of the "Chiou Shih Chun" in Peking
two corps in Tien-tsin, and fourteen
scattered throughout the country as
far north as the border of Mongolia.
In organization the "Chiou Shih Chun'
Is identical with the Salvation army
elsewhere and the Chinese salvation
soldier lives under the same rules OF

In the soil. Some of them make earthen

explains how countless numbers of crop
pests can be destroyed:
"When the insect is In the transit

to disturbances. Disking or plowing
the ground in the fall disturbs these
forms and many of them die. It 10 also

"AlsO many of the more delicate

they are unable to reach the surface the

Niqht Fly Fishing.

The question as to whether or not
trout will rise to files by moonlight Is
one that-h long been discussed In
the Adirondacks. A number Of Adj
rondack guides have insisted that they
have taken good catches Of trout by
moonlight fly fishing. Others OF the
woods brethren, however. have merely
smiled when one speaks Of snaring the
speckled ones under the light of the
June moon.
Some fishermen claim to have taken
them that way, while others say 1t is
merely a fish story. Apparently about
the only way one can prove 1t to his
own satisfaction Is to 60 some moon
light night to waters where they know
trout are and try 1t for themselves.
There is, however, no doubt regard
ing brown trout taking flies at night

Prevent Manure Losses.

Never before in agricultural history
would manure shed pay for itself 80
quickly as to day. Chemical analyses
made during five years at tbs Ohio
station show that barnyard manure loses
about one-ha its potassium, one-third
it's nitrogen and one-fourth it's pbos-
phorus when exposed to the weather for
three winter months.
At prices prevailing before the Euro
pean war the fertility constituents 10 q
ton of manure would be worth about 81.
The loss by teaching three months
would then amount to about 80 cents.
At the present cost of potash the loss
would be nearly % from this material
alone. A shed to store the manure
should pay for itself 10 one winter.
