Liberty Loan Bonds

Interest is due on bonds Of the First,
Second and Third Liberty Loans In Sep
tember, November and December. There
are no coupons on the temporary bonds
of these issues for this interest. Doubt
less great many bond holders will dis
cover this fact at the time interest 10 due
and much confusion and congestion may
occur through impatience to secure
permanent bonds with Interest coupons
at once.
The Treasury Department reports that
less than 81 per cent of the temporary
bonds of the Third Liberty Loan have
been presented for exchange for perma-
nent securities, and that the proportion
of permanent bonds of the First and SEQ
ond Liberty Loans, which have been de.
livered, is even less.
The Treasury Department has Issued
posters and placards which will be dis
played in every post Office calling this
matter to the attention OF bond holders
The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston
fiscal agency of the department is in
formed by the Treasury Department
that owing to unavoidable delays In th'
preparation of. permanent bonds of th,
Fourth Liberty Loan, they are unable Il
provide stock for exchanges on the LOAF
interest date October Is, 1920), at which
time the last coupon~of Of the temporar!
bond will be payable, and the Treasur!
Department states that 1t IL improbabl
that they will be able to supply the nee
Iessary stock before January /, 1921.

On the morning of September IL at
about four O'Clock occurred the death of
Miss Jennie L. Barrows at the home of
Simon Richardson on the Waterford
road, where she has made her home for
The past few months. The cause of her
death was cancer, and she had been sick
In bed for some little time.
She was born In Norway June 8, 1858,
and was the daughter of Benjamin
Grosvenor and Doress (Chamberlain)
Barrows. Her father Was native Of
Hebron and her mother of Auburn.
She lived at the home of her parents
as long as they lived. Her father died
In 1893 and her mother in 1908. After
the death Of her mother she went to live
with her sister, Mrs. Frances Partridge
at Norway Lake. This sister died some
two years ago, when she went to The
village to live with niece, Mrs. Msudt
Murch. She went to Mr.. Richardson'l
last May.
| She is the last OF family of thre
daughters. She wss member Of Harr,
Rust Post Women's Relief Corps, ant
an attendant Of the Congregations
church.

Sawdust Diet.

A progressive farmer cannot any longer
get off the old gag about feeding bis
horse or COW sawdust, and when the ami
NAL got used to the feed dying.
When the dairy farmer of the future
needs feed for bis COWS he may get q
fresh supply by going out in his wood
lot and reducing few stumps to saw.
dust. By chemical treatment hydrolyzed
sawdust may be converted into nour'
ishipg cattle food.
This fact was brought out at the sec.
tional meeting OF industrial and engi.
neering chemists, American Chemical
Society, at the University of Chicago re.
Gently. The process of preparing such
animal food was described by E. G. Sher'
rard and G.. W. Blanco.
White sawdust, finely ground, II
treated under steam pressure with d.
luted sulphuric acid In large boiler
Known as q digestor. This breaks NJ
the fiber and extracts the sugar. Tt
prevent Injurious effects the aoid is neu
ltralized by adding lime to produce chem
ical reaction. The liquid thus obtained
when boiled down, is rich In sugar, ant
when mixed with the 6ber produces
moist feed containing about fifteen pc
cent of water, in which form 1t is fed t
dairy COWS.
At the Forest Products Laboratory
United States Department Of Agricu
tnre, Madison, Wis, experiments prove
that three COWS thrived on this sawdue
ration, and not only gave more milk bu
increased In weight.
The result was 80 satisfactory that th
government has decided to take up th
matter on larger scale lat the exper
,ment stations throughout the countr!
and furnish Q detailed report on tt
value Of hydrolyzed sawdust a. catt
food.

Keeping Hens for Profit.

Every flock of hens might we'll be
divided into three classes as to the num-
Der of eggs they will lay, says o. NJ.
wilbur, poultry specialist of the Univer-
sity of Maine agricultural extension
service. Some hens will begin to lay In
the fall and continue until late the next
summer or fall. Others lay during the
spring and summer months, and third
class lay only few eggs in the spring
months.
Some of each of these classes may be
found In every flock. 1t is obvious that
those which lay only few eggs In the
spring are Improbable and should early
be culled. The second class will, per-
haps, pay enough to make fair profit,
but should not be kept after they have
stopped laying in the summer. Those
that lay until late into the fall are the
real profitable hens and should be re-
tanned as breeders the next year.
With eggs at go cents dozen, q hen
should lay approximately 20 per cent
production, or 73 eggs in year, to pay
for her feed at present prices of grain.
No poultry keeper can afford to buy
feed for non-laye ers, and no poultry man
need to, for there is sure way to tell
the consistent and profitable layers
The method of culling is simple, requires
little time and is one that any person
may readily apply.
Last year 70 public culling demonstra'
tiops were held In Maine, under auspices
of Farm Bureaus and county agents
Twenty seven farmers kept accurate
account of their focks for one week be-
fore and one week following the culling
In these 81 demonstrations 1890 birds
we're handled and 495, practically % pei
cent. of the hens were culled out o.
flocks because of their poor egg-produc
ing qualifications.
In the week before the culling th'
1890 hens laid an average OF 7OO.4S egg
daily, or S5.2 per cent. The 1494 bird
left laid the week following the cullins
827 4s a day, or AZ per cent. The 49
culled birds laid only u eggs day II
that week. The estimated saving II
feed alone BY this culliDg was abou
$3.50.
Disposipg of the non-layers or poo
producers not only saves feed, but give
the good birds more room and improve
the quality of the flock. :,
Culling may be done at any time
the wear, but the best time is In Angus
or September. In culling, the bird
must be handled, and this 10 good fea
ure of the work. Most farmers do nc
handle their birds often enough to g
acquainted with their good or poe
qualities. =,
Culling should eliminate not only th
poor layers, persistent sitters and o
old hens, but any cripples or birds wit
. broken down abdomens, frozen toe
disease or poor vitality. Only the oe
should be kept over the winter, an
they, of course, are the best for Il
breeding pens.

Ripley.Maxlm.tiarlow Reunion.

The annual reunion of the Ripley
Maxim. Harlow families was held or
Sunday, the 18th inst, ct Mr.. William L,
Harlow's (the old Ripley Homestead)
and many, manv thanks are due Mr.. and
Mrs. Harlow and son Percy, who know
to perfection how to give good time,
and 1t was the best ever.
Between forty and fifty guests partook
of the bountiful dinner. After which
some delightful music was rendered by
hastily grouped choir, ending with
"Star Spangled Banner" and "God Be
with You Till We Meet Again" "a
Welcome from the Old Homestead" was
read by "Alice Elizabeth" Prof. Wright
gave very pleasant and Interesting
talk, and Prof. Ripley told something OF
the life and work o. Abram Maxim. the
old music composer, which was added
to by Mr.. Harlow.
Mrs. Flora Harlow (Ripley) Pulsifer
read some rhymes depicting some OF the
fun of the Ripley and Harlow children
in those old days, ending with these
words:
"But we now are marching on
Toward the homes that we have won
In that mystic land of love "Over There"-Just
over there.
And we hope to some time meet
All the friends whom here we greet
And the hands of friendship rare, clasp over
there-Just over there"

Ostrich Shows Affection.

The first case on record OF any
demonstration Of affection on the pars
of an ostrich is recorded on the cav
son farm near South Pasadena, Cal
An ostrich hen was raised from the
incubation period by Mrs. R. s. Smith
of Riverside and became very mucn
attached to the lady. Subsequently
1t was necessary to remove the oiro
to the Cawson place where 1t mopeo
to the point that 1t almost died. Mrs.
Smith happened to visit the place ano
the bird Immediately recognized hes
| and refused to leave.
