FEDERAL OWNERSHIP Of CO BACK TO PRE- WAR

Washington. Jar. 1s.-Government
ownership Of the stock yards offers the
only hope of the farmers and stock
~raisers against the monopoly exercised
by the packers, Francis J.. Heney told
the senate committee, on agriculture
today. He declared the various forms
OF licensing suggested in bills now
pending in congress would be about
ineffective.
Heney furnished the committee with
a mass OF data showing how the stock
yards are completely under the control
OF the five big packers, although their
ownership has been artfully concealed
by a series of interlocking corpora
tions. The sixteen biggest yards In
the country over which the big Ave
have control carry on 81 per cent OF
the meat business of the United States.
he said. ",
Correspondence revealing that the
packers had made gifts to Congressman
James r. Mann, of Chicago, at about
the time the Borland resolution was
blocked in congress, was given to the
committee by Heney. Nan Is the Re-
publican leader in the present house
and a candidate for speaker of the next
house. Heney described in detail the
advertising campaign begun by the
packers in newspapers and farm jour-
nails throughout the country and said
Armour had been spending money for
advertising at the rate of l.o0e. 600 q
month.
Heney told Of . new policy ~recently
fnaugurated by the packers, that OF ac-
qutring stock In large hotels and then
organizing hotel supply companies and
requiring the hotels to make all pur-
chases through these companies. He
said that Armour has an interest of
$4,000. 600 in the Biftmore hotel, New
York city. Inc also an interest In n
hotel, recently constructed in this city.

the high cost of living Even those
who are obliged to live in apartments
or flats may, with a little work, raise
a variety of good things. A barrel has
proven a good garden for strawber-
ries, and it has also grown cucumbers
and radishes. Cucunbers may be
grown ON rack, and if well watered
will grow quite a crop. Fill the barrel
with well-rotted horse manure, and be
sure to water the ground, not the
plant.
Large flower urns are another fine
place to- start an early crop Of vege-
tables. The crop may all be gone by
the time it is warm enough to set out
the geraniums and foliage plants.
Parsley and chives may be grown in
the kitchen window all the year round,
making plenty of the flavor for all
the dishes one wishes to garnish and
season.
For the leaf lettuce q bed three feet

with all the lettuce needed. AS it is
used, SOW more seed and have fresh,
crisp lettuce all the season. For the
head lettuce more room will be needed,
but 1t pays for all the time and trou-
BILE of transplanting
Those who are not crowded for room
should have an asparagus bed, for
when it begins to produce it is a ioy
forever. A strawberry bed is another
desirable addition to the garden. With
little care and transplanting one may
keep a bed for years.

IMPROVEMENT
PLAN TO MAKE A ROAD DRAG

Which Is Simple and inexpensive
Tough Wood Best.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Inc accompanying illustration shows
typical design for road drag, which
is very simple and inexpensive. The
design contemplates the use of an ordi-
nary log of timber, such as may be
readily obtained in almost every local
ity. The log should be about z or
inches in diameter and from to s feet
long, and should preferably be of hard,
tough wood which will not decay very
rapidly when exposed to the weather.
White oak, burr oak, chestnut, cedar,
hickory, walnut, or any similar wood
may be satisfactorily used, provided
that 1t is well seasoned before the
drag is put into use. Railroad ties
have been frequently used for this
purpose and possess the advantage
that they are already cut to about the
however, care should be exercised to
see that it is of sound wood and of
the proper size.
The drag is made by splitting or
saving the log into two equal semi
cylinders, which are then framed to-
gether in the manner shown in the
illustration. The better of the two
pieces should form the front runner
Of the drag, because it is the one sub
jected to the greater wear. Moreover,
while the front runner should always
be placed with the face forward, it is
claimed by many that better results
may be obtained by having the round
part of the back runner go forward in
order to increase the smearing action
of the drag. The two runners are
usually spaced from about 80 inches
to 36 inches apart, and are connected
in ladder fashion by means of cross
stakes or rungs.
The ends of the rungs are ordinarily
fitted into Pinch anger holes, bored in
the runners, and are securely held in
place by means of end wedges. The
auger holes are so arranged that the
runners, when framed together, will
be displaced in a longitudinal direc-
ton with respect to each other The
object of this displacement, or offset
as it is usually termed, is to make the
ends of the front and back runners
follow approximately the same line on
the road while the drag is in oper-
alton. The amount of displacement,
therefore, should depend on the amount
of skew necessary to make the drag
empty itself. But SINCE this skew va
ries with the condition of the road
surface, the proper offset to be given
to runners cannot be definitely fixed
Under ordinary conditions an offset
of from about II inches to about 16
inches will prove satisfactory.
In order to make it easy for a man
to stand upon the drag and to shift his
weight properly when dragging over
hard surface, the drag should be
provided with two 1-inch boards paral-
lei to the runners and nailed down to

the rungs. These boards should be
about 8 inches wide and their length
should be slightly less than that Of
the runners of the drag.
The chain by means of which the
drag is drawn should be about 8 feet
long and it's links should be made
of three-eighths-ineh steel. On light
drags two trace chains may be used
for this purpose.
Many road drags constructed as
above described, without metal-cutting
edges or other notifications, have been
very satisfactorily used where the con-
ditions were favorable. 1t is evident,
however, that such drags are effective
only on comparatively soft road sur
faces, and to diminish this limitation
and also to increase the life of the
drag it is very desirable to provide
a metal-cutting edge for the front rum
ner. An excellent edge OF this kind
may be made from a strip of iron or
steel about one-fourth inch thick and
about four inches wide, and even old
wagon tires or wornout grader blades
have been very satisfactory.

tractiveness or it's n0urishment, but
it does decrease the cost as 1t goes
much farther in serving A little
scraped onion and pinch of cloves
will vary the usual seasoning of salt
and pepper.
If you have opportunity TO notice
the meat bills of the cook who buys
meats which take little time to pre-
pare, like steaks outlets and chops,
you will find that they are much lar
ger than those of the cook who buys
pot roasts, stews, soup meat and the
cheaper cuts. A small piece Of meat
added to large quantity of vege-
tables will give flavor to them and the
amount of meat will never be noticed
AS meat is the great item in many
families, costing as much as it does
today, 1t is eneedful that all house.
wives take serious thought and do
much planning to furnish their fami-
lies with nourishing food with the
amount they have to spend upon it.
When a tough piece of meat has
been purchased, rub it well with olive
oil or corn oil, add a little chopped
parsley and a bay leaf with few
tablespoonful of vinegar. Let the
meat lie in this overnight then, drain
and brown the meat, add the vinegar
and some water and let it simmer
until tender at low heat on the. back
part of the stove.
BY buying staples, such as sugar
early in the season when it is usually
2 to 3 cents less a pound, one can
provide the years supply at quite a
saving. Canned goods of all kinds
can be bought at saving when taken
by the dozen or case. However. il
one feels because a goodly supply is
on hand that it can be used more
freely. the saving viii be lost.
Leaf lard can be bought often
10 3 cents cheaper than the prepared
lard and you are sure after it Is.
