CUT DOWN BIG MILK LOSSES
Marked Effect Upon Prices That the
Ultimate Consumer Must Pay
for the Product.

To develop better methods for
handling and shipping milk from the
farms to the city market Is the OBJ
ject of an investigation of practices
in various milk plants, which is be-
Ing made by the dairy division OF the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Milk losses during shipment
have a marked effect upon the price
that the consumer must pay for the
product. and upon the price that the
farmer receives for the product. The
losses, are of two kinds; those re-
sulting from milk souring In transit,
and those from theft, spoilsge and
leakage. Both are believed to be
avoidable IL the farmer, country deal
err and city dealer will work to-
gethef.
Dealers are being asked to give In
formation on various subjects, such as
the methods used for transporting milk
from the farm to the dealer. the pro
lection provided for milk while In
transit between dealer and the city
market, and the relative efficiency Of
different types of refrigerator cars.

BILLS HANDICAP TOO HEAVY
OF Course He Couldn't Play Golf With
Such an Opponent and Such
Gallery.

Bill Is a Presbyterian by marriage.
Those of us who have heard him play
golf would never have guessed that he
had any such church connection what
ever. His language when he misses a
shot land he misses quite a number OF
times during an afternoon) is what
might be termed Of the explosive and
highly ~Irreverent variety.
Bill appeared at the club the other

duced as Rev. Mr.. Sanderson-accent-
ing the Reverend as though he were
afraid we were going to miss 1t and
treat him as one of his ordinary COM
panions. Personally. 1t isn't necessary
to tip us off In advance that the
stranger is a minister.
But Bill seemed to be afraid OF US,
although not quite so afraid as we
were Of him.
"You and the minister going to play
togetherf" we asked.
"Yep," said he. "JoIn us7"

a minister can go IS holes and you

Bill began gamely. His drive was
full Of slice and his iron shots were
mostly all turf, and he put on a stage
grin that was marvellous TO behold
Toward the middle of the afternoon
he tried whlstling, switching to hum
ming, tackled silence and reverted to
plain grinning.
He dubbed a shot on the twelfth
hole and said Good night"
'"That isn't what you said when you
dubbed one here last Saturday" ont
of us remarked.
He missed a putt for a win on the
fourteenth and whistled.
"First time we eyer heard You whis

marked.
On the sixteenth he went to piece
altogether. But he was game. III
made no apologies.

DAIRY

GREATER USE OF PUREBREDs

Indiana Dairymen Get Benefit Of
Such Slres.

In Harrison county, Ind, where the
'Better Slres - Better Stock" move
ment is gaining Roadway. dalrymen are
making wide S Of good, %purebred
bulls in an economical manner. BY
fractional ownership Of the bulls they
receive the benefit of such slres with
out mourning the entire purchase cost.
In one day recently the United States
Department Of Agriculture received
statements from three dairymen In
Harrison county, all of whom follow
the practice mentioned. The advan-
tage Of a choice of several sires is the
wider opportunity to make desirable
matings, thus Fastening progress In
grading up a herd.
In many other localities dairymen
are combining their forces. sometimes
with the object of testing bulls before
sending them to the block, sometimes
to save expense, and sometimes to give
local predominance to n breed or
another. An informal combination OF
this sort Is often highly useful.

Fiber crops In the United States
SHOW an increase this year, due large
~ to the growing realization Of the
American manufacturers Of the cut

sther foreign countries, and the de-
weIopment of hber-growing methods

Hemp and fax are the principal
6ber crops in the United States. or
che former, 1900 acres were grown
ahis year, with an average yield OF
700 pounds Of fiber to the acre, d.
xIded about evenly between long fiber
worth on an average Of 20 cents a
pound, and tow, which now averages
10 cents a pound. This would bring
an average value Of the crop to $lO5
per acre, or $1.470.000.
Flax acreage has increased from
5000 acres In 1919 to 5000 acres In
1920. The yield is estimated at from
800 to 400 pounds of fiber per acre,
worth 10 cents a pound. The fax
crop is thus wGth about 100000.
Impetus to Hemp.
Hemp growing has received consid-
cradle impetus since the United

fdertook the work of breeding new
strains and ecouraging modern ma

Ihe EIrst Bicycle.

The first man In England to make
a bicycle was James Plowright, who
died in September last. he copied
the first .sboneshaker' brought over
from France. Mr.. Plowright's first
bicycle was built entirely of iron, with
Gathering iron wheels. but later he In
troduced iron-shod wooden wheels.
Subsequently he made the tall ordi-
nary. The actual inventor OF pedals
to propel the front wheels OF a bicycle
was NJ. Michaux, Of Paris, who In
vented the bicycle proper In 1896, IL
years after Mr.. Plowright was born.
It was imported into England IN 1858,
and 1t was apparently this bicycle that
Mr.. PIowright copied. James Starley,
a Sussex mechanic. was the man who
converted the ~old-fashioned bone
shaker" into the modern bicycle and
