 Philadelphia, July 2S.-The Amer ican friends service committee of Philadelphia does not intend to take over all of the child feeding opera tions in Central Europe, now con- ducted by Herbert Hoover through the American relief administration, according to an announcement made at the offices here.
 The economic situation in those countries is far Ioo serious for One organization to do the work alone,'' officials say. We are doing ut most to alleviate the suffering of the poor.'
 The latest cable from the Berlin office states that 632,0e0 children are now being fed daily in SS cities in Germany. This probably will be de- creased during the harvest period when fresh vegetables and fruit will be more plentiful the message says. Beginning with September the num- Der of children fed will increase again to at least 500.eOO and will continue without 8 break until the summer of 1921. This will be in- creased to 100000 if funds from America can be secured to make this possible. The German government has just agreed to give us all the flour and sugar needed in the feeding"

CORRECTNESS OF SEPARATOR
Minnesota Farmer D scovered He Was
Losing 364 Pounds of Butterfat
Every 80 Days.

Defects IN the separator will, in the
course of time, make heavy inrOads on
the dairyman'S receipts from buttcrfat.
For instance, the testing of skim milk
to ascertain how the separator is
working il not regarded important by
some dairymen. But in the case Of
one herd Of 80 cows in Minnesota,
which produced 200 pounds Of but
terfat last June. the skim milk was
tested anI found 10 be carrying off
3G4 pounds Of real huttcrfat every 80
days. This is vouched for by l.. V.
Wilson. agent In dairying for the Uni
tod States Department of Agriculture
with headquarters ut University Farm.
This farmer" says Mr.. Wilson, "pur-
chased Il new separator the neXt day
after the skim milk was tested. This
incident ought to be a sufficient lesson
for prompting many others TO deter.
mine the accuracy Of their ~Separators."

BOTH FRIEND AND NUISANCE
Crow Wages Warfare All Summer
Long on Insect Pests-Raids
CornfieId and Hen Yard.

That the crows character is not so
black as it is usually painted is dis
closed by Investigations made by the
bureau Of biological survey of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. IN fact. the departments bird
men" say that much of the work the
crow does is of direct assistance to the
farmer, for Mister Grow" wages war
fare all summer long on insect pests.
In fact, insects supply about One-fifth
of his food, and those which he pre-
fers in his diet are the worst insect
pests the farmer has to contend with
-grasShOppers, Caterpillars, and white
grubs and their parents, May beetles.
On the other hand, the crow raids
the corntield and the poultry yard, and
kills small wild birds and destroys
their nests. From the evidence at
hand the crows merits and shOrtcOm-
ingS appear about equally divided.
While it would not be well to give it
absolute protection and thus afford the
farmer no recourse when the bird is
doing damage, the bureau of biological
survey believes that to adopt the poll

In this day OF complicated machin-
thought to the care of so simple an
implement as n pillow. But more effort
las been expended In the slow process
Of developing this seemingly simple
tool than in that Of any other imple-
nlent on the farm. II is the basic til
age tool, the fundamental farm imple-
nent. and II is richly entitled to be
properly cared for when not in use.
Store in Dry Place.
When laid by, say the implement ex-
perts, the pillow should, ii possible. be
stored in q dry place. away from con-
.act with the ground. In any case, the
bright parts should always be coated
with grease to prevent rust. Once the
mold board and share have become
pitted with rust, an efficient job of
blowing cannot be doEe until The cor"
roded parts again have acquired a poi
lsh by use.
The United States Department ot
Agriculture. Of course, does not stop
with the pillow in its admonition in this
regard. HarroVs, also relatively sim
pie but tremendously important i'm
plcmentS, are, next to plOwS, most gen
orally neglected. Many farmers who
would not neglect an expensive har-
vesting machine, say the experts, are
careless as to harrOws and other i'm
plemcnts of this type. But these also
represent capital invested, and a larg-
er return is possible If they are prop
erly cared for at the end of the season.
If harrows are stored under a shed
the teeth should be supported by
blocks or boards, so that they will not
become embedded in the ground. All
ac~Tmnulations Of earth and trash
should be removed. This Is especially
applicable to woodcn-frame harrows.
The earthly accumulatiOns retain mois-

possible is desired, ii should not be

legs should be rather short, stout, and

has little chance Of developing into a
useful or profitable breeding animal.
After you have found q calf with
good general appearance. have some
one hold IT so that you car put your
hands on It. This is the best way to
determine what are called CONDITION.
md quality" Condition means tie
amount of flesh and fat the calf has.
Select a calf in good growing condi-
ton, but not excessively fat. The beef
calf for breeding purposes should have
great depth Of natural flesh and be
free from %rOughness or cOarseneSs IN
any way. BY running the open hand
along the back and sides with Il slight
pressure Of the finger tips the amount
and quality of condition may be de.
termined. A calf In proper growing
condition, while not possessing the
depth Of flesh of q mature animal,
should have a smooth. even covering
of firm though not hard flesh along its
back and sides and over the shoulders.
Quality may be determined by the
eye of the experienced judge. but the
hand may also be used to advantage.
All the following indicate quality: 4
thick cOat Of hair that feels soft and
silky and looks glossy a loose, pIiabls
skin that does not seem thick. rough
or tightly stretched over the body
and rather short legs that appear to
have strong. clean bones without
%rOughness or cOarseness.
A calf showing early maturity, as
indicated by the tendency to put on
an even covering Of rather firm flesh.
Is desirable
Color is Of little importance as long
as the calf selected has the approved
color Of the breed desired. There are,
however, popular shades and color
markings of the different breeds,
which you will learn from further
study Of the breed selected.
