GOOD HORSES SCARCE
,teps Advised for Rebuilding Industry

Steps Advised for Rebuilding Industry
A representative of one of the larg-
est firms of horses dealers in this
country was a visitor at the University
of Idaho few days ago and stated
that good brood mares had not been
so scarce for many years He fur
Their stated that in the principal horse
breeding regions with which he is
acquainted not more than one in five
of the mares have been bred during
the past three years. The number OF
stations has decreased also and few
er good stations have had extensive
service more grade stations have
been in service and more mares than
ever before have been bred to jacks.
1t takes three to five years to de-
velop a horse to an age useful for
work. Horses have been neglected
and disposed of in such a way that the
permanent wastage has been great, the
armies of the allies have used up large
numbers in war service. One needs
only to reason the matter out and
ones own opinion is strengthened by
The views of the keenest observer of
he business today that we are facing
a period when really good horses will
be more scarce than at any time In
our history.

EFFICIENT THRASH|NG
VALUABLE THIS SEASON
WASTE OF GRAIN AND LOSS OF
TIME RESULT THROUGH I'M
PROPER THRASHING

When an average of eight bushels
United States at thrashing time every
year, that loss begins to have per
sonal meaning With wheat worth
1926, it is well worth while to pre-
vent that loss, if possible. And it is
entirely possible. The chief source of
loss is the inefficient operation of
thrashing machines.
Any standard thrashing machine
will do satisfactory work if kept in re-
pair and operated intelligently. If
the operator knows his machine, and
sees that it is properly adjusted and
operated, grain will come through
clean and losses will be small The
farmer should know enough about the
general operation of a thrashing ma
chine to detece poor work, which
means direct loss to him.
To do good work the sepa-
rator must be level, both cross
wise and lengthwise, and then care
fully adjusted to the particular job
at hand. The greater part of the sep
aration is done in the cylinder and
Immediately after the grain passes
over it. If cracked grains are fire.
quent there may be too much end
play of the cylinder, the speed may
be too high, or the concaves may be
set too high. The teeth may be crook
ed or too high and not conferred Too
rapid speed will also crack grain. Dry
grain demands a lower speed of the
cylinder.

METHOD OF BALING
HAY AFFECTS GRADE

Hay is graded according to the way
in which it is baled. Bales of uni
form size and of neat, attractive APP
pearance bring top prices, other con-
ditions being equal, while ragged, un-
slightly bales are penalized.
The size OF bale that press makes
sometimes has great effect on the
selling price of the hay. On some
markets the difference in selling
price between hay in large bales and
that in small bales is considerable
The successful grower of market hay
keeps informed as to just what the
market, to which he ships his hay,
demands in type, size, and weight of
bale. Some feeders object to tightly
baled hay because they believe that
the "life" is pressed out Of such bales.
Some prefer the large, loosely pressed
bales, believing that the hay in them
has a greater feeding value than that
in small, heavily pressed bales Oc
casionally small bales are desired on
account of the ease with which one
man can handle them or because it is
easy to detect the presence of spoiled
hay in them. To realize the greatest
possible profit from the sale Of his
hay, the hay grower must put his
hay into a bale that will meet the
feeders idea rather than his own.

Unthrashed heads are often found

in the tailings. This results from
missing or broken teeth, or teeth too
far apart, not conferred, or badly worn
concave set too low, or concave with
not enough teeth. The speed of the
| cylinder also causes many unthrashed
heads. Damp, unripe, or moldy grain
requires more than normal speed OF
the cylinder to thrash out well.
Grain is lost through the improper
adjustment of other parts of the sep
arator as well as the cylinder, so it is
evident that the operator must be
thoroughly familiar with the entire
machine. 1t may not be possible to
save all the grain now lost, but the
careless operator who does not know
just what the different parts of his
separator is running, will waste a
great amount unnecessarily He will
surely have to make frequent stops
for adjustment Every time machine
stops, the whole crew must be idle
to everybody concerned.
If machine fails to separate all
the grain from the straw, it is usually
due to one or more of the following
reasons: The machine is not being
run at its proper speed; it is being
crowded beyond it's capacity; the
cylinder fails to thrash all the kernels
out of the heads for reasons already
stated; the machine is not level; or
the blast is not properly adjusted.
Manufacturers furnish instruction
books on the care and operation of
their thrashing machine. They have
spent years in experimenting, and they
run to secure the most satisfactory
results. A great deal of the trouble
by the thrasherman is due
to his disregard of or even neglect to
read the manufacturer instructions. !.
There are other ways in which grain
can be saved, but the proper operation

HIGH YIELDING CROPS
Winter Wheat and Vetch Prove Best.

A mixture of winter wheat and
vetch was seeded on the University
farm last fall for silage and was
found to be the most productive of
those tested out. Winter rye and
winter vetch was also grown but did
not yield as well. The crops were
sown on land that was in corn last
season. The corn ground was disked
after the crop was harvested for
silage. The wfea rye and vetch
was seeded the last of September,
seeding one bushel of wheat and rye
and 80 pounds of vetch to the acre.
The wheat and vetch mixture yielded
1875 tons of silage to the acre while
the rye and vetch yielded 7.6 tons.
Rye natures too early to be grown
satisfactorily with winter vetch. Red
Russian wheat, which produces
heavy growth of leaves is desirable
for seeding with the vetch and will
mature at the proper time. The crop
should be cut when the wheat grain
is just past the milk stage. A binder
will handle the crop without difficult
ty in harvesting.

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Ladies! Try this! Darkens beautifully
and nobody can tell-Brings back
its gloss and yOuthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
lphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to-use preparation improved
by the addition of other ingredients
large bottle, at little cost, at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound thus avoiding
lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet requi-
site. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

TIMES "suRE HAD CHANGED"
pouohboys in France Hailed az Friend
Man Whom They Had, When
"kida," Feared Greatly.

The story Of how two doughboys
found their old enemy in France is
told by Mike Nolan, former police lieu
tenant of New York city, who served
as X. of G. secretary assigned to
the Sixteenth infantry, First division.
Nolan is fifty-two years old and put
in % years on the New York police
force. When he changed the blue uni
form for khaki, he was in charge of
the twenty-third precinct, the old Ten
derloin.
On his breast is victory ribbon
with two bronze major offensive stars
and three silver citation stars. He
has been recommended for the ID. S. c.
by the commanding officer of the Six
teenth infantry.
He had wandered up to "little
bunch" of doughboys who were shoot
ing craps" and gave each of the boys
pack of X. of G. cigarettes. The
game was an exciting one, and sol
dier who was about 'to roll the ivor-
ies'' looked up at him and asked him
to kiss 'em for u five" Nolan did
so. and the dice turned up two and
three.
One of the unlucky boys who had
lost on the toss of the dice looked up
at Nolan and recognized him as an
old enemy.
Holy cat! Look, it's Tenderloin
Bull Nolan!" he said to his pal. Don't
you remember he's de cop who used

INSIGNIA OF ANCIENT ORDER
That Now Worn by United States
Army Medical Officers Goes Back
Four Thousand Years.

The caduceus, which was introduced
in 1902 by Col. John Van X. Hoff. NJ.
C., U. S. A., editor of the Military Sur
geon, as part of the medical officers
insignia, dates back 1000 years, ac-
cording to f. ii. Garrison, NJ D., U. S.
A.. writing in the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association. For n num-
her of reasons the serpent was always
the symbol of medicine in antiquity.
The Babylonans' caduceus, which as
the insignia shows today-two snakes
entwined with wings at the top Of the
staff-occurs in Hittite remains. 1t
stands for an actual serpent god, Min
gishzida, who as the special messenger
of lshtar, was the awakener of life in
fhe springtime, and the Mesopotamian
prototype of the Greek Hermes. The
Romans had special functionary, the
caduceator, who was sort of peace
commissioner, The caduceus was used
on the title pages of books published
by the famous medical printer Fro
benius, in AGO to 1927. The "wand of
Mercury" as it is sometimes called,
WIS also carried by merchant traders
in ancient times, on excursions where
peaceful negotiations We're desired and
they wanted to be known as neutrals.

ANIMALS POINT OUT RICHES
InnumerabIe Instances Where Pros
pectors Have Been Aided in Search
for Earth's Treasures.

A very large gold nugget is said to
have been found the other day in n
wild bees nest in Australia. The story
seems likely enough. for Australia has
yielded all the really monster nuggets
to date-the "Welcome" weighed
2,195 troy ounces and was valued at
S43. 500-and one of the biggest was
discovered by a prospector who
stubbed his toe against projecting
angle of it.
On the Wind river Indian reserva-
tion, in Wyoming prospectors look for
grains of gold brought to the surface
of the ground by ants. And in Ari-
Zona anthills are n common source
of excellent garnets which are
fetched to the surface by the industri-
Gus insects.

Labor Troubles in China.

Chinese government during his period
of enlistment in the army is the basis
Tor the labor disturbance which is

Thompson explains that prior to the
war the average coolic made a month
iy wage of So to S15. while having
become accustomed to the new stand
ards of living made possible by the
$40 allotment he declines now to re
turn TO the old basis. Even household
