The Chinese are among several thou

entire five years Of the war and they
are being returned to their homes

Cleaning Busted Tools.

Elbow grease is usually the best
thing to use when cleaning rust from
steel, but the following manner has
also been suggested: Fasten the steel
tightly to piece of zinc by means of
wire and place it in jar containing
water to which sulphuric acid has
been added. Leave it there until the
rust has disappeared. If the article
is very rusty add little more acid
from tine to time. The process by
which the rust is removed is electrical.
The steel being in contact with the
zinc short-circuited battery cells are
formed, and the rust is reduced to iron
again by electro-chemica action. The
steel will become darkened by the
process. but will regain its brightness
If rubbed with sweet oil or mixture
of petrolatum and kerosene.

The change which dug huge fort

doubtful blessing, and Helgoland must

will cheerfully see the last of the

too, to be quit of German taxation

STEER-FEEDING EXPERIMENT
Cottonseed Meal and Velvet Beans
Used With and Without Add
ton of Shelled Corn.

In a steer-feeding experiment con-
Quoted last year on the government
farm at Beltsville, Nd, four lots OF
two-year-old steers were fed. The pur-
pose was to compare cottonseed meal
and soaked velvet beans when used
with and without the addition OF
shelled corn.
The addition of corn to a ration
composed of corn silage, cottonseed
meal and wheat straw did not pay.
The addition Of corn to the ration of
velvet beans and corn silage was
profitable.
The lot receiving corn silage and
soaked velvet beans with small guam
tity of cottonseed meal as an appe-
tier produced the most economical
gains and showed the greatest profit
even though the daily gains and the
selling price of the cattle were lower
than those of any of the other lots.

Kansas farmers should command In

Kansas City idea Is that all that Is

away is 10 plant one bean In the bill

the bugs hate beans.
Perhaps they do. Anyway. Ia our
own experience we can testify that
we have never seen potato bugs feed

far as we have observed there has NOT

of the harassing experiences of about
