INSIGNIA OF ANCIENT ORDER
That Now Worn by United States

the symbol of medicine In antiquity.
The Babylonians' caduceus, which as
the insignia shows today-two snakes
entwined with wings at the top of the
staff-occurs in Httite remains. II
stands for an actual serpent god. Min
gishzida, who as the special messenger
Of Ishtar. was the awakener of life in
the springtime, and the MesOpotamIan
prototype of the Greek Hermes. The
Romans had a special functionary, the
caduceator who was sort of peace
commissioner, The caduceus was used
on the title pages OF books published
by the famous medical printer, Fro
bcnIus, in 1850 to 1927. The "wand of
Mercury" as It Is sometimes called,
was also carried by merchant traders

The $40 a month which the Chinese
coolie with his family drew from the
Chinese government during his period
Of enlistment in the army Is the basis
for the labor disturbance which Is
rocking China at the present time
says G. c. Thompson vt Shanghai in
the Seattle PostIntelllgencer. Mr..
Thompson explains that prior to the
war the average cOolie made month
ly wage OF S12 to S15. while having
become accustomed to the new stand
ards Of living made possible by the
$40 allotment he declines now to re
turn to the old basis. Even household
domestics have become affected by
the new unrest and are demanding
more money, he says. Recently be-
cause Of the unsettled conditions there
was a strike of dockworkers in Chi
nese ports which held up all trans
Pacific traffic for r. considerable time,
Mr.. Thompson states.

GOVERNMENT CROP
REPORT FOR MAY

On May the area of winter whe"t
to be harvested in Washington was
estimated to be $4,000 acres or 1879, :
500 acres less than the acreage sown
last fall. The abandonment this year
is 20 per cent of the sowing as COM
pared with 9 per cent abandoned in
1918 and 33 per cent in 1917. This
years acreage is 254 800 acres less
than the 100000 harvested last year.
The average condition of winter
wheat in the state May was 7S per
cent, compared with 73 per cent
April 1, 1920, 90 per cent May /,
1919, 90 per cent on May I, 1918, and
% per cent, the average May 1 con-
dition for the past ten years. This
condition of 70 per cent indicates a
yield of 21.4 bushels per acre and a
total production of 15,733,OOO bushels
(based on the estimated acreage)
against 19,S00,000 bushels last year
The poor condition of the crop t.. :
year is due to several factors. A
dry fall resulted in late seeding and
most of the wheat had made but little
growth when winter commenced
With little or no snow covering in
many localities, much. wheat was froz-
en-. Strong winds did great deal o.
damage in the Big Bend Section
while in eastern Washington the
wheat fields suffered from consider.

hill slopes.

DOCKED LAMBS BETTER
BRING MORE MONEY

Three out of four of the Gull lambs
on the livestock market each year
have neither been locked or castrat
ed. The farmer loses from So to 81
per head on such stock, and it tends
to lower the market for the better
class of lambs. Lambs should b.
locked and castrated when 7 to Is
days old. The two operations can be
performed at the same time. Sever
the tail at the second joint, or not
more than one inch from the body. If
the lambs are large the dock may be
tied and the cord cut not later than
eight or ten hours afterward Dock
and castrate your lambs and get a
better price for them. Do it now.

guests pets, he had neglected to pro-
vide a suitable home for snakes.
However, he has since discovered
that no fewer than five women in the
hotel own reptile "pets" and refuse
to part with their "lttle darings,
which, they maintain, are "perfectly
harmless"
The snakes were obtained by thel
present owners from Nine Phisalix
wife of the inventor of the anti-snakc
bite serum who is now i'll as a result
of her refusal to counteract a snake
bite because she wanted to make d
scientific experiment.

Test the seed, sow alfalfa and not
weeds.
The silo is the best storehouse on
the farm.
Well kept dairy barns mark the in
terested dairyman.
A poorly fed chick means Door
laying pullet.
Don't swear-drink milk and be
good natured.
Take care of the orchard and it will
take care of you.
Belief in Yourself backed by
training, means success.
Ship livestock comparatively and
receive more for your cattle.
Increase milk-decrease cost. De-
crease milk-increase cost.
Breed the good farm mares, for
good draft horses will be in demand.
Don't plant beans too deep, they
will break their necks getting out.
Locate the COW that transmits pro-
duction, she is important and vital.
Soak all garden seed from IL to
"a hours in warm water before plant
ing them.
Water for bees is specially import
ant during the heavy brood rearing
in the spring.

Good alfalfa varieties to be grown
in Washington are Grim, Baltic, Va

One of the best things about the

Milk is the only food known which

Good tillage of the soil does three
things: kills weeds, conserves mois-
