easier. For the first time in sew
eral months the market for fixed
rates was quotably lower. The de-
mand appeared to be less urgent and
money brokers reported that they
had done what they called a fair
business at \ per cent for periods
of thirty days to six months. Over
the first Of the month, there had
been heavy calls upon the banks
for temporary disbursements and the
easier tone today indicated by the
lower renewal rate for call money.
and the placing Of time funds under
the 9 per cent which had been bid
for several months past indicated the
return Of money to the regular chan
nels.
The locking up of money around
the first of the month caused a
smaller buying movement for prime
bank acceptances leaving the saw
ings banks the principal takers. Of
ferinSs of prime New York bills are
in larger volume than Of late. Rates
are not quotably changed.

Hawes, vice president Of the First

Hawes stated that while prices
were admittedly working toward n

Hawes advocated the repeal OF the

business men to the encouragement
Of agriculture.
In conclusion Hawes said. ''Boun-

Moscow, Oct. 2.--(By A. P.)-There
Is a general feeling of pessimism here
regarding the outcome Of the peace
negotiations at Riga between the Poles
and the Bolsheviki. The workers. how

universal desire for peace.
With winter approaching, the situa

ficials say the government is doing
everything possible to facilitate their
evacuation, establishing evacuation cen
ters In Moscow, Petrograd, Samara and
Ekaterinoslav and cooperating with
the German, Austrian and Czecho -Slo
yak missions, but provisions, clothing
and medicine and means of transporta :

method of arranging the equipment 40
That the work can he done easily and
quickly Is used In the modern dairy
barn. Also numerous pieces of labor
saving equipment are installed.
The stall partitions usually are of
steel, set into the concrete floor. These
partitions are easily kept clean and
sanitary. The floors of the stalls are
either of concrete or some of the less
hard floor materials. such as cork brick
or wood block. Back of each stall is a
gutter. which permits the refuse to he
washed to a drain whence it is piped
to liquid manure tank.
Overhead is a carrier track running
over both the litter alleys at the sides
of the stable and over the feeding al
ley through the center of the building.
The carrier that is hung to the track
provides a means by which the litter
can be removed to the manure piles
at the rear Of the stable and by which
the food can be distributed to the stall
head.
Drinking cups, which are connected
to the pipes from the water pressure
system are located at the stall head,
one cup for each two cows. These
drinking cups or bowls are ingenious
devices. They have valve in them
that turns on the water as the cows
press down their muzzles, and shuts
off the water as the cows raise their
heads. Careful watch has been kept
on cows in stables where there are
drinking cups. aud 1t has been record,
ed that there is little time in either
the day or night when one or more OF
the animals are not drinking. Records
Of milk production in the same sta
bles show that where there is con-
tinuous supply of fresh water, the AMI
mails give from 10 to 90 per cent more
milk.
Fresh feed during the winter s an
other important thing for profitable

Now that spring is fast turning into
summer. it is time for the owner of
the modern dairy farm to begin to
plan the new buildings he may need
to house his herd next winter. For
1t is an undisputed fact that a modern,
sanitary, weather-tight and well-ven-
tilated COW stable and barn is one Of
the greatest profit producers for the
owner of a dairy herd.
Summer is the time farmers are
required to build new buildings or
remodel the old ones, for in the warm
weather the stock takes care of them
selves and building operations can go
on without inconvenience. However.

ROADS
FUEL SAVED BY GOOD ROADS
OF Gasoline Consumed Shown In
Recent Ohio Test.

A fest conducted In Ohio recently
from running over good road as COM
pared with gas consumption over bad
and Interchangeable roads. disclosed a
surprising difference. Five new army
standard "A" trucks with seven
different types of road service. showed
a gain of six miles per gallon of fuel
between the best and worst types of
roads. All the trucks were empty dur
ing the test.
The trucks loaded showed that the
gasoline per mile as the good one.
The test results showed an average
Of SIS miles per gallon over o dirt
road in good condition, 7.19 over fair
gravel. $50 over good gravel. about
the same over fair bitumlnous macad-
am and good brick roads. 11.44 over
extra smooth brick and Ills over good
concrete.
The saving to the motoring public
in gasoline alone would amount to
equal TO this would be the saving in
tires. which iseconsidered as important
an item OF cur upkeep as is gasoline.
Calculating the saving in wear and
tear on the, mechanism of cars ami
trucks and also the item of time lost
by poor roads, adequate highways are
undoubtedly a sane investment.
