The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1920-07-23

a young man who practiced medicine
in a rural district became famous and
was called in consultation in many
towns and cities because of his sue
cess in the treatment of disease. This
was DR.. Pierce who afterward moved
TO Buffalo, N. Y. He made up his
mind to place some OF his medicines
before the public, and he put up
what he called his "Favorite Pre-
scription,o and placed it with the
druggists in every state in the Union.
For fifty gears DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has sold more largely
throughout the United States than
any other medicine of like character.
It's the testimony of thousands of
women that it has benefited or en-
tirely eradicated such distressing ais
ments las women are prone to. 1t is
now sold by druggists in tablet form
as well as liquid.
NEwBERRY, S. C.,-"After using Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription feel like
new woman. My friends all tell me
look so much better. l am more than
pleased with the result. / know that |

edies too highly. always keep them on

at which. wheat or other grain was
bought from the farmer upon the av-
erage quality of the corp in any COM
munily or section was totally unfair
to the producer of good grain. Under
the "mine-run" basis of purchasing
grain the producer of good grain re
ceived no more for his clean, heavy
wheat than did the producer of light
weight and otherwise inferior grain
Instead of a premium upon heavy
grain, premium was paid upon IN
ferior products.
The application of Federal grain
standards is calculated to prevent
such inequality, and as experience is
being had under the grading system
growers are finding that the purpose
sought is being accomplished.

Efforts To Secure Bale Ties.

Something new in the way Of
"shortages" has developed. This
time it is a shortage OF baling wire
for this seasons hay crop. If the
horses go unfed, it will not be be-
cause of lack of hay, but because Of
the lack of bale ties to bind the hay
for shipment.
Active steps taken by the Bureau
of Markets, United States Department
of Agriculture, to aid in overcoming
this shortage of bale ties have result
ed in one factory, with an output of
800 bundles a day, resuming work to
= capacity, and several other large man
ufacturers stating their willingness to
do everything possible to meet the
demand.
The Bureau of Markets has COM
munieated with the principal manu-
facturers of wire and the leading
bale-tie factories, urging them to in
crease their production. A survey
of the entire situation disclosed that
the general scarcity is due mostly to
strikes, transportation difficulties,
and shortage of wire.
As distribution is one of the main
reasons for the present shortage, the
Department of Agriculture has sug-
gested plans to manufacturers by
which it is hoped to supply those sec
lions of the country first where the
need is most pressing. 1t is believed
that if the manufacturers proceed
along the lines suggested, sufficient
bale ties will be manufactured and
shipped to dealers to.supply the de-
mand with but little loss to the hay
crop.

. Helm Plan Farm Homes.

Beautifying and improving the
farm homes is the newest phase of
home demonstration work in the
South, yet more than $500 farm
houses were built in the South last
year according to plans advised BY
the Home Club agents; 2,736 were
remodled,. 2,677 had lighting systems
installed, 1920 had kitchens i'm
proved and made easier to do work
in, 26,S11 labor-saving devices were
made or purchased, and 1866 front
yards were beautified. When extern
sion work with the women was start
ed 10 years ago, it aimed first to
tighten women's work and to lift 1t
out of the realm of drudgery and to
aid in food problems AS these
problems were being solved the ques-
lions of clothing, home conveniences,
increased poultry and dairy produc-
ticn, sanitary improv ements, food
composition, food values, and practi-
cal arrangement and furnishing of
the kitchen were brought up by the
women. This led to demands for
practical plans for the whole house
and for information as to its best To-
cation, drainage, water supply, light
ing devices, inside arrangement, and
decoration. - -r.

Tobacco Has maIHAcreage.

Since the estimate of $4,000 har-
vested acres of tobacco in the United
States made by the Bureau Of Crop
Estimates, United States Department
of Agriculture, for 1868, the area has
iryegularly increased to 1,647,0OO
acres in 1918 and 200 acres in
1919, with intermediate census acre
ages from 1879 to 1909.
Tobacco is one Of the principal"
crops, and is rated as one of consider
able importance from a national point
of view and of high Importance with
in the limits of some of the States,
and yet the area occupied by 1t is a
very insignificant fraction Of farm
and of crop area. The census for
1909 found 1294,911 acres devoted
to tobacco and this area was 0.41 per
cent of the total crop area and Obs
per cent of the farm area.

How To Kill The FIeas On Cats, Dogs
And Hogs.

One of the most successful ways to
kill fleas on cats and dogs, say ento-
mologists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is to wash the
animals thoroughly in a tub contain
ing the proper proportion of saponi-
fed cOal-tar creosote preparation, of
which there are a number on the
market, known as 'stock dips" etc
Directions for dilution of these dips
will be found on the container. The
animal should be scrubbed thorough
ly, and the head well soaked, as many
fleas rush there to get away from the
parts that are covered with the So
luton. After the animal has been
in the bath for about or 10 minutes
1t may be removed and allowed to
dry. In the case of cats, especially if
tender skinned, the preparation
should be washed out of the fur with
soap and warm water soon after the
animal is taken out of the solution.
In addition to the destruction of
all fleas present, this washing
cleanses and deodrrizes the fur and
also aids in the healing Of any
wounds.
The thorough washing of infested
animals in kerosene emulsion is
cheap and satisfactory method of
destroying fleas. Five gallons of this
emulsion may be made by dissolving
ounces of washing soap in l quart OF
hot water and when brought to a boil
removing it from the fire and adding
az pints of kerosene. The mix
ture should be agitated violently with
an egg-beater or something of tn
sort. This should result i'm a milky
solution from which the oil does not
separate. Water is then edded TO
make gallons. Free kerosene will
"burn" animals, and if any separates
out the mixture should be reheated,
care being taken TO avoid splitting it

Carpet Grass Grows Best On a Well.
Firmed Seed Bed


On cultivated land, carpet grass
succeeds best on'a well-firmed seed
bed. The seed may be sown any time
from early spring till after midsum-
mer when the moisture conditions are
favorable. To secure full stand Of
the grass promptly, seed should be
sown at the rate of 10 pounds per
acre. A method OF seeding that has
often been used is to cut grass with
mature seed and scatter The hay over
the land where it was desired to es-
tablish carpet-grass pasture.
To establish carpet-grass pasture
in open forests or on cut-over land,
without going to the expense of clear
ing the standing trees should be deaf
ened by sirdling. The land TO. be
seeded should be burned over in Win
ter in order TO remove all the tall
straw of broom sedge, wire grass, and
other bunch grasses. Flowing or
disking is not necessary CARPET
grass at the rate of pounds per acre
may then be sown at any time after
the weather becomes warm, but pre-
ferably when there is ample moisture

Crops and TRANSFORMATION

trOpS anu transportation
The Department of Agriculture pre-
diets a somewhat smaller yield of
the principal grains than last year
yet they exceed the figures of normal
years. Considering the great short
age of RAILROAD euipment and facili-
ties resulting ffom conditions Great
ed by the war, and with disturbed
labor situation following a period Of
strikes that has slowed up the move
ment of traffic generally and caused
a loss of transportation capacity, the
question arises as to how the rail-
roads of the country can continue to
handle the almost unprecedented vol
ume of traffic, and then cope with the
further difficulty of moving a crop of
large proportions at a time when a
large part of the enormous 1919 crop
has not yet been moved to its ultimate
destination. Some Of the. more pros
porous railroads have been able to
finance orders for equipment amount
ing to about S144,00O,000 but most
of the roads have been obliged t.
await distribution of a $500, 1000, 900
loan fund placed by the transporta-
tion act at the disposal of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. While
some of the cars already ordered will
be available for this seasons crops
and plans have been made for re-
building $4,000 cars and locomo-
tives, yet this addition to the rolling
stock will nowhere meet the added
demands that will be placed upon the
RAILROADS. Last year empty grain
cars were stored throughout the west
awaiting the early grain movement,
but this year, when the demand for
boz cars has continually exceeded the
supply, it has been necessary, in or
der to get the cars in the west for
grain, to take them away from east
ern roads and eastern shippers. This
has been accomplished by means of
car relocation orders issued by the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the Commission of Car Service, di-
recting the movement of specific
of empty cars, frequently in
solid trains to specific western lines.
regardless of the local demand for
cars. This has had the effect of in
creasing the shortage of box cars IL
the east but has been regarded as
Justified in view of the nationwide !
interest in the movement of vital
food crops as we'll as by the fact that I
the cars ordered west belong TO the |
western lines. During Federal con-
troll the cars were pooled regardless |
of ownership with the result thai
when the railroads were returned |
they were scattered helter-skeltel /
Eastern coal cars were in the east
and western grain cars were in the
east, and because of the preponder-
ance of east-bound traffic the great
ar portion of the cars were in the
east, andf extraordinary efforts
we're required to move them west
ward particularly as the demand for
ears for local movement was confin-
I'd.

Markets Of The World Now Beckon
To America.

Markets OF The world NOW beckOn
To America.
Never befcis has there been such
opportunity Is at present for the
United States to occupy IN important
place in world commerce, particularly
with regard to food supplies, say mar
keting specialists of the Bureau of
Markets, United States Department
of Agriculture
These experts state that the mat
ter Of nationa. grades is therefore
one Of paramount importance. In
the markets of the world the seller
with the best graded products is the
most successful Standardization .es-
tablishes a common language between
the buyer in one country and the
seller in another; in fact, experience
has shown that the decisive. factor in
the development Of foreign business
often hinges on the proper Standard
zation and grading of the products to
be sold.
Denmark's large export trade in
butter has been the result of system
of inspection and grading whereby
the Government limits the use of the
national trademark to creameries
whose products are of satisfactory
quality. The Danish system recog-
nizes only one grade of butter-the
best. AS result the producers and
sellers of Denmark butter always find
ready market in every country.
Other nations have adopted these
practices with similar results.
1t would seem obvious state the bu-
reau's experts, that a national sys-
TEN at least for grading dairy pro-
ducts produced in the United States |
would be advantageous to all who are
engaged in this important branch of |
agriculture, -. E14p

A tobacco crop of approximately
437, $50, 900 pounds, and a reduced
wheat crop of about 6,275,OOO bush
els, are the features of the joint Gov
eminent and State crop report for
Kentucky issued today at Frankfort
and Louisville by Commissioner of
Agriculture w. c. Hanna and ii. f.
Bryant, Kentuc,ly's representative Of
the U. s. Bureau of Crop Estimates.
This months preliminary estimate of
the acreage of-corn indicates a crop
of about S6,17O 900 bu., the acreage
being about the same as in 1919,
while oats are estimated at 1890
900 bushels, rye $4,000 bus, barley
'112,O0O bus, Irish potatoes 5,971,-
900 bus, and sweet potatoes 1,555,-
600 bus.
This is an increase Of 450, 900 bus,

crop was 12.O29,OOO bus, and the
1919 tobacco crop i'm Kentucky 49,

Inmates are subject to change down
ward or upward as the season pro-
crosses, depending on favorable or
unfavorable weather and other con-
.ditions hereafter.
These tobacco and corn estimates
are the first of this season, and as
planting of both crops was continued
very late this year such estimates may
be subject to great change either uR
or down before the end of the sea-
son. The tobacco acreage was in

Feeding And Watering Live Stock In
Transit.

When the distance is such that a
livestock shipment to destination can
not be made within the time provid~
ed under the Federal 2S-hour law, an
imals must be uploaded, fed, and
watered. The railroads which have
the heaviest long-distance shipments
provide feed-in-transit stations for
this purpose at intervals along their
lines. Railroads which do a small
livestock business often are without
feed-in-transit stations, and the ship
per patronizing these lines must make
his own arrangements for feeding and
watering.

as tobacco can be set in July and
still make good crop with a favor

ry late in some places but the acre
age shows a decrease of about 10
per cent over the State as a whole,
Most of the hurley belt, especially the
rich Blue Grass countries, has large

Federal Grain Standards Prevent

Misunderstanding as to the appli-

and as to the benefits to be derived
from the sale of grain upon a grade
basis have been the cause of consid
