ed. 1t is always noticed that where
there is a strike and strikebreakers
employed that the orders of the
strikebreakers are always carried out
that the bosses usually eat out of
their hands. 1t is lovely situation
for the boss to be in. One can hardly
understand why it is tolerated by
those in control to put up with such
conditions when they could surround
themselves with good, clean people
and do the bossing themselves.

twice as many switchmen working as

taking them at their own word, the

only another example of how much

DETAILS OF COST OF MILK
Department of Agriculture Has Been
Collecting Facts and Figures for
Several Years.

What does it cost to keep a COW for
a year or to produce 100 pounds of
market milk? To answer this ques-
ton in terms of labor, feed, and other
cost factors the dairy division of the
United States department of agricul-
ture has been collecting for several
years facts and figures from various
sections of the country. The results
for northwestern Indiana, typical of
many farms supplying the Chicago
market, are now available in bulletin
form. In collecting the information
the department worked in co-opera-
ton with Purdue university.
To give permanent value to the fig
ures, the investigators determined the
cost of milk production chiefly in
terms of feed. labor, and other impor-
liant factors. Thus by applying cur
rent values to any of the items a dairy
man, or anyone else interested, may
compare his present costs with those
published by the department. Practi-
cal farms owned or handled by resi-
dent farmers were used in the inves-
tigation.
Among the outstanding results are
the following:
The unit requirements for keeping
3 COW n year were: Concentrates,
1.02 tons; dry roughage. 3.64 tons;
hauling and grinding concentrates.
$1.53; bedding. 0.36 tons; pasture,
1.86 acres; human labor, 1915 hours;
horse labor. 1872 hours; overhead and
other costs, Spill. Credits other
than milk: Manure. 6.S tons; calves,
0.S7 of one calf.
Feed and pasture comprised SIS
per cent of the total cost of produc-
ton; labor. 1916 per cent; overhead
and other cost, 22.9 per cent. The
total cost was offset 22.3 per cent by
calves and manure. A different per-
centage relationship would exist, how
ever, If present prices for the various
items were used.

production save labor was shown

FLY PROTECTION FOR STOCK
Destroy Larvae or Masgots, Remove
Breeding Places and Use
Fish Oil RepeIIent-

There are three ways in which ami
mails may be protected from flies. One
Is by destroying the larvae or maggots
from which the flies develop; another
is to keep the stable or barn dark and
cool, as flies do not usually bother the
animals under those conditions. and
the other way is to apply an oil or
spray to the animal which acts as q
repellent. The breeding places for the
flies are the decaying straw and ma
nure piles, where the fies live over
the winter and where they propagate
during warm weather. The minimum
amount of these around the barns will
help to minimize the number of flies.
An oil preparation which a be used
as a repellent on the animals can be
made as follows: One gallon of fish
oil, two ounces of oil of pine tar, two
ounces of oil of ~pennyroyal, one-half
pint of kerosene.

Sending Cars for Tour.

Denver. Enthusiastic over the
prospect of a continuous motor high
way connecting twelve national parks
and traversing nine western states, the
California State Automobile Associa-
ton is sending a car from San Fran
cisco to enter the official caravan that
will take officials of the National Park
Service and the National Park to Park
Highway Association on a sixty-day
tour of the new automobile course,
starting from Denver August 25th. The
car is accompanying the pathfinder
car driven by A. L. Westgard, repre-
senting the American Automobile As
ISOLATION, who passed through Califor-
mia recently and is on his way back to
Denver. The Automobile Association
of Southern California has also decided
to send a a more than 1000 miles
to enter the official caravan for the
4,500-mile circle swing.

Kolno, Poland, Aug. 15.-Soviet
Russia intends to seek an alliance
with Germany to make war on France,
and If it succeeds to undertake the
conquest of England and eventually
America, officials of the Bolshevist
regime told the Associated Press.
When the Polish war, considered a
purely Russian business, is finished a
note will be sent to Berlin, they de-
clared. demanding permission to
transport troops across Germany for
the French campaign. On refusal.
which is taken for granted, a revolu-
ton will be instituted in Germany the
success of which Bolshevists asserted
they were prepared to assure by force
Of arms.
With these ends in view, Russian
soldiers, who nave been told all wars
shall cease with victory over the
Poles, are being subjected to propa-
ganda which declares Frenchmen will
be shot on sight but hat the Germans
are friends, who soon will be COM
rades. These admissions have been
corroborated by information gathered
ny tue correspondent III conversations
with German representatives of East
Prussian newspapers who interviewed
Bolshevist army chiefs.
When the correspondent arrived
here, crossing the border at Czerwone
by the aid of Poles and a wagon filled
with straw, he called on the Polish
soviet commissary, who recently was
established in office by the Bolshevist
military.
Han S~charnweski, the commissary,
10 a Polish Jew, with protruding eyes
and blond mustache, and wears q
white collar. He acknowledged the
correspondents greeting INT then sat
down to dinner, ignoring the Ameri-
an. At the commissary's side a Rus.
sian soldier armed with a revolver
stood watch and all conversation was
interpreted to him in Russian. The
commissary's assistant, a former Ger
man officer, said this Russian was q
soviet representative, who watched all
business transacted by Scharnweski
and reported to the soviet central
government, although he never inter-
fered with the commissary's procedure.

PROFITS IN POULTRY FLOCK
Farmer Should Be Careful to Gather

The marketing of the product, par

most conditions it is impossible for
the farmer to seek a special market
for his eggs, but he should be very
careful to see hat the eggs are gath

promptly taken to market. Failure to
do this is responsible for the spelling

ENGINE FOREVER
BLOWS BUBBLES
Not Condensation of Gas, as
Owner Thinks, but Lack of
Vaporization.
LABORATORY TESTS At AMES
Established That Carburetor Does MOI
Vaporixe Gasoline, but Mixes II
With Air-Adds to Tendency Of
Engine to Make Carbon.

Ii the motOrcar owner could watch
re flow of gasoline from the carbure-
ton into the intake manifold, he would
discover that his car, as one of the
ditties Of the day harmonizes 1t, is
forever blowing bubbles" He would
find that what he thinks is condensa-
ton of gasoline is not condensation at
all, but lack or Importation.
The steam carburetor has a vital re-
lation to this "blOwing of bubbles" in
the gasoline intake manifold, and it en-
ables the intake manifold to accom-
plish a complete vaporization of the
gasoline, eliminating what the owner
thinks is condensation of gasoline.
The steam carburetor, put to test at
Ames. Ia, agricultural college, re-
vealed there seemingly is no such ac-
ton az condensation of gasoline in the
intake manifold.
Merely Mixes Gas With Air.
These laboratory tests, made byI
Ames engineers, established that the
carburetOr does 10 vaporize the gaso-
line. All 1t does is mix the gasoline
with air. This mixture then passes
into the intake manifold.
In the center of this stream as 1t
passes into the manifold the engineers
observed a 5iuish. cloud-like vapor.
while to each side of this was gaso-
line In sprayed form.
The gasoline sprays at ACT side of
the blue vapor cloud We're drawn to-
ward the cylinders by the suction of
the motor. AS they passed in they
presently struck against the wall of
the intake manifold. At this point
the sprays turned into tiny globules
of gasoline or air-in other words,
into bubbles. These bubbles chung to
the wall of the manifold, finally being
drawn into the explosion chambers in
that form.
Waste of Fuel.
This bubble formation of the gasO-
line represents the average owners
waste of fuel. 1t also adds to the
tendency of the motor to make carbon.
The steam carburetor shoots hot,
live steam into the manifold Just
above the carburetor proper, and this
steam eliminates the bubble formation
of gasoline and converts all the gas
oline into vapor form.
