WEEDS

A conoition OF very grave proper
tons confronts the people Of every
community in the form of weeds which
arc allowed 10 grow along the ditch
banks and by every fence. Our roads.
railroads and uncultvated fields are
the breeding grounds OF countless
millions OF plants which sooner or
later find their way to our farms and
gardens and constitute the multitude
Of weede we have to contend with
In the cultivation OF our crops. There
IL probably no other thing that makes
more work on the farms than tho in
cessent 1ght which has to be main
tanned q order that the weeds be hold
in check and prevented from chok-
ing out the crops. Not only are they
the cause Of all this labor but az
soil robbers they take out OF the
ground tons and tons Of valuable plant
food. which We all know will soon
bring baroness, to our land. Putting
plant foods back into the soil is q
costly process and the unnecessary
depletion Of II Ia the soil should be
stopped There are hundreds Of weeds
and all do their customary amount Of
damage. but there are five Of which
are especially harmful. due to theii
rink growth and their resistance &c
eradication. The state Of Utah hni

on everybody In the state to keep these
weeds down. or the state will hire mer

Farmers, take tools into the field

SCRUB SIRE NOT ECONOMICAL
Common and inferior Cattle, Never
Bring As Much Money on Market
as Better Grades.


The only reason that the average
person can give for using a scrub sire
In any line of live stock breeding is
that they think they are making money
by using cheap animal. They do not
figure into the future and see that it
is the offspring of this animal which
will either make or lose them money.
The corn breeder does not think of Sc
lecting the nubhins with which to
plant his corn field. Neither can the
live stock man afford to select sire
which will not produce better and
more uniform class of stuff. A glance
into the live stock market will con-
vince one that the purebred sire with
the proper Individual merit will he a
paying investment. When common
and inferior steers are selling for nine
cents. a better grade of steers in the
same kind of flesh are usually selling
for from 10 to II cents. In addition to
this. the better cattle usually will put
on gains more economically.

SHARING PROFITS AND LOSSES
Responsibility on Workers If They
Enter Into Active Partnership
With Capital.

A great calamity Of these days is
the utter confusion as to the nature
and appOrtionment of wages. There
are labor leaders-and not a few, eth
er-who advance the theory that no
matter how high wages are driven up
they work no injury. for the reason
that money taken from society in form
of wages is returned to society. If
this were true, wages might as well be
raised a hundred or a thousand fold.
The absurdity is palpable.
Another theory, urged with such de-
termination by coal miners in Illinois
and Pennsylvania that strikes have
been declared to enforce 1t, is to the
effect that employers are bound to di-
vide their profits with their employees.
This not only is absurd, but also con-
trary to the interests Of those who
make the demand
If the employees insist upon partner
ship, they must take the bitter with
the sweet; they must share losses and
profits. Under prosperous conditions
they would receive high wages. IN
der unfavorable conditions wages
would sink as profits go down, and, if
no profits were made which is not fm-
possible, work would have to be done
without compensation.-Cin En-
duirer.

COWS APPRECIATE KINDNESS
Animals Are Naturally of Nervous and
Exeitable Disposition and
Resent Roughness.

In the hurry of getting chores done,
a dairyman sometimes forgets that
dairy cows are naturally of nervous
and 'excitable disposition, and that I'M
der conditions Of excitement or fear
the milk flow is lessened materially.
Driving cows on the run, chasing them
by dogs and with loud shouting are
not allowed on a well-managed dairy
farm. In the stable all operations
should be carried on quietly. When a
cow kicks there usually is a reason for
it; the teats may be hurt by the mixer
or tie COW may be frightened. At such
a time a little care in removing the
cause and pacifying the COW often will
prevent further trouble. Many good
cows become confirmed kickers and
consequently less profitable as a re-
suit Of a lack of careful observation
and kindness on the part of the attend
ants.

MISTAKE IN FEEDING GRAIN
Common Practice OF Many Dairymen
TO Feed Every Cow In Herd the
Same Quantity.

Perhaps the most common mistake
in feeding grain to dairy cows is the
practice of feeding every COW in the
herd the same quantity regardless Of
the amount of milk she is producing,
instead of regulating the grain accord
ing to the daily amount Of milk pro-
duced.
Considerable waste of feed may re-
suit from failure to balance rations.
This is especially true If the ration
happens to be in protein; for, while
an excess of protein may be substituted
for energy, energy producing foods can
in no case take the place of protein in
ration. The milk fOw therefore,
may be limited to the protein content
of the ration, even the energy produc-
ing foods may be present in excess.
An economical ration is a balanced
ration.

Women In Industry.

The assimilation of women in indus
trial pIantsstO handle the less arduous
types Of work is proving big aid in
Offsetting the shortage of labor. When
war conditions made 1t necessary to
introduce a feminine personnel into
several Of it's factory departments a
large manufacturing company, through
it's efficiency engineers, not only found
that the women workers were as apt
as the men they relieved, but also
that they suffered no personal hard
ships from their new undertaking. The
Industry also prospered through the
new source of working forces that was
thus established.
The results of competitive tests
which have been in process during the
last year proved that the average wom-
an is possessed of more initiative than
the male shop employee and is more
anxious to gain a position Of respon-
sibility. Sac has also demonstrated a
higher state of morale and willingness
TO make the best of unknown condi'
tions.

FOOD VALUE OF CORN SILAGE
Crop Is More Easily Harvested and
Put Into silO Than Rye, cowpeas
or Alfalfa.

Almost any green crop can be made
Into siIage successfully. Much care,
however, must be taken to expel the
air from such hollow-stemmed plants
as the small cereal grains by cutting
fine and packing firmly. Other crops,
Of which legumes are examples. are de-
ficient in the fermentable constituents
needed for palatable silage. On the
other hand, few crops, such as the
saccharine sorghums. have so much
sugar that unless cut at a more ma
ture stage they have a tendency to
produce sour silage.
In most parts of the United States
more food material can be obtained
from an acre of corn as silage than
from an acre of any other crop that
can be grown. Corn is more easily
harvested and put into the silo than

CHANGE PASTURE FOR SHEEP
For Best Results 1t is imperative
That Animals Have Grass Not
Too Closely Bitten.

For hest results 1t is imperative
that sheep have frequent changes Of
pasture. that a ''fresh bite be had,
that grass may not be too closely bit
ten. that worms therefore will be less
likely ito lnfest them and that they
may have a surer supply of mineral
matter as well as organic matter in
their feed Lambs especially must
have new seeding each spring. On the
sheep tainted and contaminated pas
lures they infest themselves with
worms On new grass they escape
worms ara besides that, find such
grass more paiatahIe and easily mas
ticated and digested.

crops like rye, clover, cowpeas, or al
falfa, and when cut for silage the
maximum quantity of nutrients is pre-
served. Experiments have shown that
corn, when sliced, lost 1876 per cent of
the dry matter, against 23.8 per cent
when cut for fodder and cured in the
field. Moreover, there is less waste
in feeding silage than in feeding fod-
der. since good silage properly fed is
all consumed. When corn is cut for
silage the land is cleared and left
ready for another crop sooner than
when the corn is shocked or is husked
from the standing stalk. Corn can be
put into the silo at a cost not above
that Of shocking, husking, grinding and
shredding.

tended that dairymen, ranchmen and

Of "milch" almost universally. The

Americanization of language as wen

MAKE FIGHT ON PRoFITEERs
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union viii Establish Co
operative Factories.


Labor unions maintain that the trou-
Bile with the present clothing prices is
the profiteer-not the wage profiteer,
but the manufacturer of textiles prof
iteer, the jObber profiteer, sometimes
four or five of him in the gradual
transference of the material to the
manufacturer of the garment profiteer,
the retail profiteer. In this arithmet-
zeal progression of the price of the
garment, the consumer knows only the
last figure whose bloated waistline he
attributes to what he reads in the
newspapers concerning labor unrest.
The International Ladies' Garment
Workers union means to wipe out the
jobbcr, the garment manufacturer. the
retailer by establishing their own CO.
operative factories. Even granting
the fact that the union must buy the
raw material at the price asked by the
profteering manufacturer of textiles,
they expect to be able to pay their
members better wages, work their fac
tories and stores on a seven-hour day,
give the public finished garments at
prices below those at other stores -
and still turn money into the union
treasury.
"There are in New York city alone"
said Benjamin Schlesinger, interna-
tiOnal president of the union, twenty
five hundred clothing manufacturers,
who employ over $4,000 workers. These
men are in the business for but one
purpose-tO make money. With no
need to earn profits why then should
we not be able to make goods at low
er cost to the public and at greater
benefit to our peoples?
This is the direct PUNCH of the
project. Behind it is more inter-
esting test: Can labor direct and
manage it's production? Capital the
union has, there are 10000 members
in good standing and by the small as
sessment of only IS the "tools of pro-
duction" become accessible. Organized
labor in this country has only recently
discovered the wealth of its composite
group and that this can be used for
mutual advantage
Mr.. Schlesinger points out that the
creators of style here and in France
are workpeople and that the union is
affiliated with the organized Partisan
clothing workers.

WAGES AND COST OF
LIVING MUST BALANCE.

Labor cannot accept a cut in
wages unless there is a CORE
spending cut in the cost of liv-
ing. Manufacturers who are
saying that they are now getting
greater efficiency and Increased
production after a cut of 25
per cent in working force and
a reduction in wages, should
show that they have made
corresponding reduction in their
selling prices. The public must
benefit by greater efficiency and
production at lower. costs. That
means that labor Itself will ben
