The English farmer finds himself
handicapped at this time by the fact
that last year Great Britain, expect
ing the war to continue another year,
filled it's granaries and elevators with
wheat. Now that the war is over
the government is disposing of this
as rapidly as possible, while the far
mer finds it difficult to sell his last
years crop. Why not ship some Of
this into districts where people are
starving for something to eat? Or,
sell it and buy food for the hungry
millions. The majority Of these I'M

yet the figures show that the loss per

more than that of all the seven other

last year were from the careless
handling Of cigars, cigarettes and
smoking pipes, and children playing

Letter from Manchester District.

"A little leak will sink a great
ship" is an old adage that can be
applied in many ways at the present
day. One morning last week on my
daily hike, l was surprised to see
along the railroad track the carcasses
OF II large rats, evidently being well
nourished on the products of the
farm. In removing some old build
ings in the neighborhhod, these and
three dozen more of the rodents were
killed. If each rat, at a low estl-
mate, should destroy dollars worth
of saleable products in year, this
farmer lost upwards Of $4,000.
Should the Government offer small
reward for each head of these food
destroying animals, the country
would soon be rid Of countless mil
lions of rats, and save millions Of
dollars for the starving people Of our
country and Europe.
There shall be signs and wonders

resulted. Many persons claim they

Prof. Rice, Of Cornell University,
says that hens will lay more eggs
when they are kept up late at night,
that tests carried on at Cornell dur
ing a period Of forty-eight weeks
have proven that lights in chicken
coops increase egg production. The
coops were kept lighted until nine
O'Clock every night during the test,
and the egg totals showed that one
hundred hens and pullets in the
lighted chicken house produced one
hundred and twenty dozen more eggs
than the chickens in the unlighted
coops that went to bed early. The
reason he gives for this increased
laying capacity was that they had
more time to eat. 1t is claimed that
this lighting system would prolong

DAYLIGHT WASTING
What Setting UP the Clock Does to
the Farmer.

BY Sam Jordan in Country Gentleman.
Daylight wasting j. the meaning to
the farmer of the so-called Daylight
Saving Law. 1t not only means an
inconvenience to the farmer, but 1t
spells out an actual loss in dollars
and cents. There is not farmer IN
all the land who would not vote
against it.
Tt may be entirely satisfactory to
CITY workers who work sometimes
eight hours a day once day, put II
hits mighty hard the farmer who mas
to work eight hours day twice day.
The farmer must work while the sun
is on the job. The sun does not help
him all the year. Some days Ola
Sol refuses to work at all, and once
in a while he goes on strike for
whole week. Then when the sun
does shine the farmer must put In
sometimes more than double time to
keep I'D his end of the game.
The farmer must use all the day
light God gives him and often an ad-
ditional hour or two that he makes
for himself. He rises at daylight,
brings i'm the horses, feeds, curr1es
and harnesses them; milks a few
COWS, feeds the pigs, and somewhere
during this preliminary to- the fore
Moons exercise the call to breakfast
greets him. When this necessary
function is hurriedly finished, at per-
haps six or half past six o'clock, ne
answers a few telephone calls, waits
on neighbor who comes to borrow
his hayrake, or to talk about the mort
gage; and after taking the COWS to
pasture he gets to the field by from
7.30 to $50.
At - o'clock by the daylight-savlng
plan he has been in his field from two
and a half to four and half hours.
This does not seem SO very bad, so far;
but he is back to the corn blowing by
one O'Clock, and in five hours it shows
500 o. M, when it is really only 300
%. m. Of course this gives the "golf
champ an extra hour on the links,
but the farmer knows where he and
his crops will land if he stops work in
the middle of the afternoon.
Keep in mind, dear reader, that the
farmer must hustle while the sun
helps him, and when he goes by the D.
s. formula he puts in nearly seven
hours in his fields in the afternoon
He might endure this unevenly di-
