FEED BOXES AND HAY RACKS
Faulty Construction Cause OF Animals
Not Getting Feed Intended
for Them.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
In many Instances animals do not get
the feed actually intended for them,
due to improper and faulty construc-
ton Of boxeT and hay racks. Many
feed boxes are so shallow and small
that much feed Is wasted as the ami
mails eat from them. In order To pre-
vent this waste the feed boxes should
hc repaired. They should be at least
Is inches wide and "A inches long and
IL to Ia inches deep. II Is often all
visable To feed the concentrates with
silage to prevent waste.
Hay racks should be constructed 10
prevent animals from tossing or pull
hg hay under their feet. All hay
racks should have a tight bottom tn
prevent the loss Of leaves and finer
particles Of hay. The leaves Of hay,
especially Of the legumes, contain most
of the protein and are. therefore, that
part of the roughage which the ami
mails need. A few hours work In re-
pairing boxes and hay racks, and at q
very small cost, will result In saviLg
sufficient feed to maintain the animals
in satisfactory condition.

Make A Grass" Bed.

For the past two years gardens
have been given a great deal Of at
tention. Now that everybody in
town and in the country has learned
the very great value and pleasure a
garden can give, gardens are sure to
continue in full bloom. And right
now is when the garden fever gets a
firm hold on people.
Extra early spring vegetables ON
the farm are very great luxury.
Asparagus is an old standby and is
ready for the table before most of
the other vegetables have gotten a
good start The farmer who has
failed to set out an asparagus bed
should do it this spring. He can get
full directions by sending to the Col
lege Of Agriculture at Lexington for
Circular No. 6S, Asparagus.

General Assembly there will be no
special session of the Legislature to

special session question formally was
disposed of today by the Joint Com
mittee empowered to reconvene the
lawmakers, if necessary, before De-
cember /.
A statement given out by the COM
mittee after its meeting said that the
members Of the Assembly were deeply

living" and DESTROYS to assist in solv-

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
High Prices and Less Work

Union labor realizes that higher wages mean
higher prices and consequently the real purchas-
ing power of work cannot be increased by mere
wage raising. This is the substance of state
ments made by leaders of the railroad unions at
Washington. A public long suffering from con-
stantly increasing prices agrees with this con-
cluson.
So far, however, union labor has not seen that
reducing production also raises prices by increas-
ing the cost of production
The farmer controls the production of food
The cost of food in turn ultimately controls the
price of nearly all other commodities. In other
words practically all of working to produce
something to trade to the farmer for food.
A man, we will say, is working ten hours
day on a railroad and through the medium of
money, trades that ten hours work to some farm
for 10 bushels of grain. To produce that grain
the farmer is working anywhere from twelve to
sixteen hours day. He can't strike for shorter
hours, either, for Mother Nature is his employer.
The railroader through his union reduces his
working day to eight hours. This compels the
railroad to take on twenty per cent more men to
DO the same amount of work with the eight hour
day as against the ten hour day. Naturally this
higher cost has to be met by higher freight rates
which the farmer has to pay to ship his grain to
the workman with whom he is trading.
Of course the rairoader now expects to trade
eight hours work daily for ten bushels of grain.
The farmer however, whose hours of labor are
as long as ever and who is compelled to pay the
higher freight rates won't see it that way. The
farmer only trades the railroader eight bushels
of grain for eight hours work. That is, the
farmer charges enough more for his grain to pay
for his increased freight charges.
Reducing hours of labor, therefore, at the ex-
pense reproduction is by the great law of COM
pensation that rules the universe, paid by those
responsible for the consequent decrease in pro-
duction and increase in the cost of production.
The schemes of men powerless before the
everlasting mandate "You can't get something
for nothing
