Market stations maintained by the
bureau of markets, United States de-

"branches" They reach out in every
direction from the central office. Con-
nected by wire and mail service, there
is constant circulation of vital news,
out and returning, between them and
the Office in Washington. The raw
materials, so to speak, are gathered

TIMOTHY IS LOW IN PROTEIN
One Of the Poorest Live Stock Feeds
Farmer Can Grow-cannot Be
Compared With Alfalfa.

More timothy hay is grown In the
United States than all other hays COM
bined and yet timothy Is one of the
poorest livestock feeds that the farm
er can raise. Its value for feeding
purposes cannot be compared with
clover or alfalfa. II is low in protein,
the nutrient upon which farmers and
more especially dairymen must to a
large extent rely for the best returns
from their herds; It is not very pala-
table to live stock, except, perhaps,
to horses, and it has an undesirable
constipating effect upon all classes of
animals. Furthermore, it yields less
than clover or alfalfa, and it is a fer
tility destroyer instead of soil build
er. All things considered. it has very
little to commend it.

SAVE OLD FARM MACHINERY
Carefully Inspect Discarded lmpIe-
nents and Lay Apart Useful
Gears, Braces, Etc.

Farm machinery, when discarded,
should be carefully gone over with a
view Of saving the parts which have
not been worn and which may be
available for future use on other ma
chimes, or for other purposes. There
are always many braces, gear wheels,
bolts and nuts that can be used again.
When the machine is discarded in
stead of hauling it to, an obscure place
to rust away, why not take it apart
and place the disable pieces or parts
in the machine shed, or work shop !?
1t takes only little time to take the
machinery apart before it becomes
rusty and many pieces thus secured
will come In handy.

CANNING POWDERS SHOULD
NOT BE USED IN CANNING

In some communities there is a
widespread use Of canning powder.
Both boric and salicylic acid are
bought from druggists for this pur-
pose. Large quantities of these acids
are also sold at a high price under
fanciful canning compound names.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture warns against the use of
any preserving powder or canning
compound. There use encourages
and uncleanly work. and their excess
sive use may be attended with serious
effects upon digestion and health. 1t
is entirely practicable to put up"
fruits and vegetables so that they will
keep indefinitely by processing the
porducts with heat. There is no rea-
son for taking the risk of using can
ming powders.
