 Among the outstanding results ars the following:
 The unit requirements for keeping a COW one year were: Conce 1trates, .02 tons; dry roughage, 364 tons; hauling and grinding concentrates, S1.53; bed ding, 0.S6 tons; pasture, 1.36 acres; hu- man labor, 164.5 hours; horse labor, 16.2 hours; overhead and other costs, S27.11 {; Credits other than milk: Manure, e.S tons; calves 0.s7 of one calf.
 Feed and pasture comprised SIS per cent of the total cost of production labor, 19.5 per cent; overhead and other cost, 22.9 per cent. The total cost was offset 22.3 per cent by calves and man ure. A different percentage relationship would exist, however, if present prices for the various items were used.
 The extent to which cows of high production save labor was shown clearly by comparative figures for the 25 herds studied The owner of one herd of cows averaging 9.200 pounds of milk annually had to eeed and milk only g COWS to obtain th~ same quantity of milk as that given by F average cows in other herds.

Community Fight on Insect Pest.

i great portio of the annual loss to the grain crop due to insect injuries can be avoided by vigilance and vigor- ous action on the part of the grain growers. Insect outbreaks frequently originate within limited areas, and when this is the case 1t often is possible to stamp them out before any great dam age has occurred. In other instances the outbreaks are of general origin, and then community action is essential in order that the inroads of the pest may be overcome.
 The most serious insect enemies of ce- real crops, such as the Hession fly, the chinch bug and white grubs, belong to the latter class. In the case of these and other widely distributed foes of the grains no means of stopping their rav- ages will be fully successful until com munity action can be secured in adopt ing the methods of combat at present advocated by entomologists.
 Fall blowing doubtless is the most universally beneficial practice for the control of the insect pests of cereal crops and this measure should be adopt ed except where it is rendered irnpossi-l

{, To further tho study of the Morgan as a saddle breed, the United States De- partnaent of Agriculture has sent the 2 year-old Morgan staliioon Lucky from the Morgan horse farm at Middlebury, vt to the Santa Gertrudis ranch at Knksville, Texas This is the home ranch" of the famous King Ranch, one of the largest and best known cattle and horse breeding establishments in the United States. The Bureau of Ami mai Industry is paying close attentioon to tlie saddle possibilities of the Morgan horse The King Ranch will breed Luck to some of it's hgh-class mares and make a careful study of the pro- duce.
 Lucky is brown stallion l4 S-4 hands high and weighs 925 pounds. Morgans have always been noted for their endurance and stamina, and have been used to some extent on the range for the production of COW ponies. The outcome of this systematic study in CO., operation between tho King Ranch and the Bureau of Animal Industry will be watched with much interest by horse breeders.

Tlxing Hoe Prices in Bushels

Measuring the prices of hog in bush- els of corn instead of in dollars, is a form of applied mathematics used by the United States Department of Agri- culture in keeping tab on prices of farm products. Theoretically 100 pounds of live hogs should be worth about 1S bushels of corn. The ratio varies. It 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 narrow-that Is. 100 pounds of hogs is not worth as many bushels of corn as usual The de-

PALISADES AMUSEMENT PARK.

What is considered to be the most
of all amusement park
is, at Palisades Amuse-
ment Park, heralded by a tremendous
electric sign as, "Over the Falls" The
spacious building housing this new
mystery" is located on the main mid
way opposite the Midway Restaurant
noted for its shore dinners. Previous
to going "Over the Falls" the seeker
for thrills is obliged to travel through
series of dark passages, or cross
rocky roads, and walk along the edge
of a precipice which appears to be
hundreds of feet in the air. Once the
ledge of the Cascade is reached,
comfortable bench silently issues an
invitation to rest after the trip. Once
seated, the apparently innocent
bench hurles the group of laughing
riders "Over the Falls into the great

The Magic Tailors
At Palisade Junction

Those who have not known of the
Palisade Tailor Shop at the Junction
have missed an important asset of the
village. These two tailOrmen are
wonders, magic tailors, in fact, for
they about do everything with the
needle that is worth while. The 9TH
er day when the editor, got into the
Sibley automobile, and in doing so
caught the outside pocket of his mo-
hair coat on the door catch and almost
ripped the pocket out, Mrs Sibley
quietly said: "Take it over to the
Palisade Tailor Shop at the Junction
You'll never know it has been torn"
Following the lady's advice, the coat
was as good as new the next day, and
the torn part was not even noticeable
Another suit that was badly moth
eaten was taken to the tailors, and
they made the moths look like they
ought to be ashamed for thinking they
could completely ruin a good suit and
expect to get away with it in Pail
SADIE. These tailOrs are really Won
ders and deserve to be given about
all there is to do in a mending way
in this whole section. More luck to
them.

AutOist's Nerve
Saves Hold Up

What was undoubtedly another at
tempt at holdup was frustrated at
Harrington Park Tuesday night.
Howard Beppler was driving his
auto along the Schraalenburgh road
toward his home in Bergenfeld at
II 80 p. M, when he heard the chug-
chug of motorcycle coming behind
him. AS the machine came nearer he
saw it was a side car cycle with two
men in it. They finally caught up
with him and demanded that he stop.
This he refused to do, replying, "Why
should l stop?"
To this the man in the smaller ma
chine said: Because we want you
to-"
Beppler kept his auto going slowly
forcing the other driver over to the
left as they proceeded.
The result was that Beppler finally
got them SO far over that the cycle
went into the ditch. He put on more
speed and left them to their fate.
The spot where the holdup was at
tempted is an ideal spot for such a
crime, there being no house near.
There is no doubt that the two men
are the same who have been working
in this hborhood.-Record.

DONALD ALBRIGHT, 9, CRANTW'D BOY,
FALLS over PALISADES, BREAKS LEG.
NTW0PL ACES, RIB PUNCTURES LUNG

a terrible accident befell a young
brentwood boy this week. Donald
Albrecht with his parents family had
only recently moved into the village
from Weehawken. They took house
in Columbia avenue, Grantwood, and
with other children Donald was play
ing on the cliff front of the Palisades
when in some mysterious manner he
fell over the edge and was badly in
Jured, so much so that his life has
been despaired of for some days. One
of his lungs was pierced by a broken
rib, and his right leg was broken in
two places. He was also bruised in
many other places. He was taken
at once to Englewood Hospital where
he still is, his mother and father hav-
ing been with him since the day of the
accident. How the little fellow lost
his balance no one seems to know. He
was playing with some other boys.
and that is all any one appears to
know
