mates on local costs of food. clothing,
rents and incidental expenses for the

More Than $4,000, 900 Will Be Turned
Over by u. S. for Thrift In One

More than 100000 will be paid to
the people Of Iowa by the United

ing 1918, If the War Savings and
Thrift stamps sold in the state last
year are held by buyers until maturity,
according to an estimate made at state
headquarters of the Iowa War Saw
ings committee. ->
This sum, representing the interest
on war savings alone, shows the great
importance of aggregate saving IN
small amounts, and as well, the tndi-
vidual advantage to the person who In
vests q part Of his savings In inter-
est-bearing securities. ,.,- .....
The people of Iowa in 1918 bought
nearly 47,OOO,O 900 Thrift and War Saw
ings stamps, and it Is reasonable to
believe the lessons Of thrift and saw
ing learned then will result in far

ROUSES HENS FROM INACTl0N
Theory as to Benefit Of Use Of Arti.
fetal illumination Would Seem
to Be Plausible.

How can artificial illumination have
any effect on egg production, is the
question being asked by some skep-
teal poultrymen who have never made
any tests. Me-
The answer is, according TO the
workers in poultry husbandry at the
New York state college of agriculture,
that the light appears to equalize the
time between meals and to shorten the
period of inactivity Of the fowls dur
ing the long nights. Or. &.
The long nights Of the late fall and
winter months apparently cause the
fowls to use a larger proportion OF
the night feed for bodily needs than
would be the case under normal con-
ditions in the springtime, when the
days and the nights are OF practically
equal length.
At the time Of the year when fowls
lay the most eggs in New York state
the months of April, May and June
the days and the nights are approx.
mately Of equal length. Under these
conditions, fowls appear to assimilats
their feed, secure the proper amount
Of exercise, and form their eggs to best
advantage. FL.
The latter part Of December there
are about fifteen hours Of darkness and
nine hours Of daylight, whereas in the
latter part Of June the reverse is true
there are approximately fifteen hours
Of daylight and nine hours Of darkness.
In other words. illumination at
tempts to initiate spring conditions 30
mr. AZ the hours Of activity and the
regulation Of feed supply are con
cerned.

of farming methods and he began to
work into the live stock industry. In
1888 he shipped from New York state
a couple of Red Polled calves and this
was the foundation of his great herd
which became the largest in America

to England to make purchase of Red
Polled stock which he brought to his

other trip across the water and made
