hens which stop laying early is molt-
ing, as the hens that start to molt
early-that U.s., in July aSd August
are usually the poorest producers.
While hen which has molted most
of her feathers is very easy to pick
out by sight without examination, the
only way to ascertain accurately when
the hens begin to mott is to handle
them. Before the body and wing
feathers are molted In any great
number you will find short pin feath-
ers growing thickly on the back and
in the feather tracts running back
from the breast, indicating that these
hens have started to mott and proba-
bly, have stopped laying if their combs
and general appearance indicate nom
production. The pelvic bones are
also helpful in making this test as
these two bones tend to close up when
the hen stops laying. If the spread
between these bones measures two
fingers or less the probability is that
the hen is not laying. while IL the
spread is greater, together with 9TH
err indications mentioned, she is pro-
badly laying.

To Free Engines of Carbon.

Everyone who has had any exper-
fence with gasoline engines of any
kind knows that the accumulation of
carbon in cylinders, piston heads, etc.
seriously reduces the efficiency of the
engine and makes trouble for the OPP
orator. Experts declare that an eff
fective method for removing carbon
is to pour into the sylinders, while
warm, a mixture of a teaspoonful of
common baking soda and a pint of
kerosene. Allow the mixture to re-
main in over night. Then, after
printing the engine with a little gas
oline, start it in the usual manner.
Race it a short time and then set it
to work. This treatment cannot be
expected to give good results where
the carbon deposits have been fern
ing for long tine

RADIO PHONE NOW
USED IN COMMERCE

London, Aug. 20-What is claimed
to be the first commercial converse
tion conducted by telephone thru the
ordinary central and wireless with a
man in an airplane was carried out
successfully today.
1t was not an experiment, but was
used for the delivery of imperative
instructions.
A member of London shipping firm
using an ordinary desk telephone
was able to give one of his air pilots
flying across the English Channel to
Paris instructors affecting coal sup
plies at Marseilles, which had run
short on account Of the Cardiff coal
strike.

Plant Celery Now.

During the forspart of August is
the time when late celery can be set.
A trench about four inches should be
dug and the celery plants placed in it..
Careful attention must be given the
young celery plants as they will, no
doubt, need watering and perhaps a
cover from the hot sun until they
have become well established in the
ground Write to the College of Ag-
riculture for the Garden Circular,
describing how the late celery can be

Save Good Corn and Bean Seed.

Many farmers are asking the ques-
ton, at this time of the year, as to
the possibility of saving seeds from
some of their prize vegetables. The
College of Agriculture is recommend
ing that, in some instances, these
seeds can be saved by the farmers, to
very good advantage. For exam
pie "a few ears of a good variety of
sweet corn, can be allowed to mature
and gathered and hung up in a dry
place, thereby, insuring the farmer
of having some seed Of the good va
riety of sweet corn.

Fixing Hog Prices i'm Bushels.

Measuring the prices of a hog in
bushels OF corn, instead of in dollars,
is a form OF applied mathematics us
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture in keeping tab on
prices of farm products Theoreti-
cally 100 pounds Of live hogs should
be worth about Is bushels of corn.
The ratio varies. 1t is generally
highest in the corn belt and lowest
in New England the FAR South, and
the far West. At the present time
the ratio is unusually Uarrow-that
is, 100 pounds of hogs Is not worth
as many bushels Of corn as usual. The
department draws the inference that
during the next IL months hogs Will
advance more than corn or corn Will
decline more than hogs.

Urges Wider Use OF AlsilSe As a Clo-
yer Crop This Year.

The success of alsike clover as d
cover crop last winter in certain sec
tions of New Jersey leads crop spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to recommend its
wider use this year. Until further
experiments have been made, how
ever they are unwilling to make any
sweeping" claims for it as a COM
petitor of crimson clover. The sue
cess met with in New Jersey, they
say, well warrants them in advising
farmers to do little experimenting
for themselves.
1t is doubtful, the specialists say,
that it would be safe to SOW alsike
clover as late as the 18th of August
in sections north of Pennsylvania, Illi-
nois, and Indiana, The young plants
would probably not make enough
growth to enable them to live thru
the winter, although alsike clover it.
SELF when well established is per-
fectly hardy as far as the extreme
northern boundaries of the United
States and in Canada. Alsike clover
should, however, do well sOwn early
in August in the States along the At
lantic seaboard; that is, New Jersey
and Delaware. Alsike should be
planted early in August for spring
blowing under.
The cost of alsike seed, It is said,
is relatively lower than that of red
clover, because the seed is small and
less needs to be sown per acre. While
the seed cost is higher than that for
crimson clover, it may prove more
reliably winter hardy, and so have an
advantage over the crimson clover,
which so often winter-kills.

LURE OF THE WHITE LIGHTS

The United States Census shows
that one-fourth of the folks in the
United States now live in cities of
over 10O,0 inhabitants. There are
now sixty-six cities of that character
in this country. In the ten years since
the 1910 census more than 100000
people who before that lived in small
communities have gone to cities of
100000 or more. On the other hand
the large cities have not lost so
largely of their population and every
time the Director of the Census puts
out new bunch of figures they show
that the lure of the white lights con-
stantly adds to the number of re-
cruits gathered from the small towns
and farming districts.

Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in a
rural district and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was DIR.
Pierce, who afterwards estab-
lished himself in Buffalo, N. Y,
and placed one Of his prescriptions,
which he called Golden Medical
Discovery" in the drug stores Of
the United States so that the pub
lie could easily obtain this very
remarkable tonic, corrective and
blood maker. DR.. Pierce manu-
featured this Discovery" from
roots and barks "a corrective
remedy, the ingredients of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping us healthy.
Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used
this Golden Medical Discovery"
for the stomach, liver and heart.
Over twenty four million bottles
Of this tonic and blood remedy
have been sold in this country.

Crimson Clover As a Cover Crop.

The Department of Agronomy. at
the College of Agriculture, has found
that crimson clover is one of the best
soiling and green manuring crops
This crop should be sown during the
forepart of August and about 20
pounds of seed per acre is used. This
can be sown with a clover seeder,
followed by light disking so as to
cover the seed, or by the clover seed
attachment found on most grain
drills. Further information as to the
time and method of sowing, and the
value of this crop, can be secured by

ure which would have been arrived at
by correct arithmetic" the secretary
declared.
The admiral based the charge on
the assumption that, had there been
million American soldiers in France
by March, 1918, the war would have
ended four months sooner, Mr.. Dan
iels said, and completed the reasoning
by assuming the tonnage losses of
1917 prevented carrying that number
of troops overseas by that date and
that failure of the American navy to
cooperate heartily in the first months
of the war resulted in the heavy ton
mage losses.
There never was a time, the witness
said, when tonnage was not available
to carry troops and supplies to France
as fast as they could be landed and
transp ported to the front, although it
was only by extreme exertions that
this was done during the rush of
troops in April" ALLEGATION of ships
to the United States by the allies was
always the dominant factor, Mr.. Dan,
