Golf Will Survive.

It has been held in some expert cir
cles that golf never could become the
game baseball is, because golf lacks
picturesque language. This view
overlooks the fact that baseball ac-
CURED it's language by slow degrees,
and only reached its present perfec-
ton through the long labors of de-
voted philologists and etymologists.
The language grew like love, by what
it fed on.
Give golf and the sport writer's time
and they will produce language
for that game as copious, refulgent,
and learned as now distinguishes the
more popular game. Already we de-
tect the beginnings. We read of Mr..
Bockenkamp's play Thursday that
by sinking manipulating putt of IS
feet" he finished up.
We have heard of 45-foot puts be-
fore, but it must be admitted it adds
to the wonderment of one to know that
1t was manipulating. This is an en-
couraging beginning and convinces us
that golf is going to survive.-Kansas

ayers, told President Wilson's railroad
labor board here they were ready to
grant wage increases to employees.
The extent of the increase was not
specified. 1t will be left to the board.
Whittier urged a system whereby
wages automatically should be in
creased or cut as the cost Of living
rises or falls He said wage increases
will be passed on to the public in in
creased passenger and freight rates
"Some part of the new demands by
employees, the board probably will
find justified by the rise in the cost of
living" said Whittier, declaring the
railroad-owners would stand by the
boards decision.
Increases to employees in the last
four years have totaled $1,000 100000
or So per cent, he said.

HOW TO FIGHT
POULTRY DISEASES

When the poultry flock is visited
by disease, it's time to get into action
Particularly is this true If the infec-
ton is tuberculosis. No flock can long
endure tuberculosis unless steps are
taken to bring about it's control.
The first thing to do after killing
every lame and thin hen, is to an
up the poultry yard, says J. G. Halpin
of the Wisconsin college of agricul-
ture.
Here are the directions which Mr..
Halpin gives for cleaning up the pOul
try houses and yards in the attempt
to remove the germs of tuberculosis
and other infections:
"Clean up and burn all drOppings
and litter in the houses.
'Scrape the floors, walls, and
ceiling thoroughly, being careful TO
scrape out all corners so that no dust
or dirt remains.
"RemOve and clean up all hoppers
drinking fountains, nests and roosts.
S"tnr"to everything with reliable
commercial coal ter disinfectant, pre-
pared according to the directions OF the
manufacturer as given on the original
package, being sure that the spray
mixture reaches all corners, cracks
and crevices.
Repeat the application of disinfec-
tant after ten days.
Board up all spaces under hog
pens, corn-cribs or other out buildings
under which the hens might have
strayed.
"Fill with fresh dirt all sink-holes
and WalloWs.
"Plow and crop all places where the
chickens have been allowed to run,
when possible

GOOD PASTURE
CUTS HOG COSTS
BY r. 3. MORRISON,
Assistant Director, Wisconsin Expert
ment Station.

Pasture crops cut the cost of pork
production 20 per cent. Good pasture
for all the pigs from early spring
until late fall is of the greatest i'm
portance. Not only do the pigs make
cheaper gains, but the green sucr"-
lent feed and exercise they obtain aid
greatly in keeping them thrifty and
in good condition.
Another advantage in having hogs
on pasture lies in the fact that the
manure is evenly distributed over the
field and none wasted, as is the case
when the pigs are raised in the dry
lot.
Experiments have been conducted at
the Wisconsin experiment station to
determine the lest pasture crops for
Wisconsin. They are:
l. Oat-Pea-Rape Mixture. For two
years this proved the best annual
crop tested. Seed at usual time for
oats. Drill mixture of one bushel oats
and one bushel field peas to the acre !;
and at same time broadcast four
pounds rape per acre. Pasture ready
in June or when peas are well pOddod.
If not pastured too heavily will fur
nish grazing until hard freeze.
.. Rape. Next best annual crop.
For early pasture seed as early as
possible, broadcasting at rate of 5
pounds to the acre. Begin to pasture
when rape is a foot high. Lasts till
hard freeze.
3. Ped Glover. Excellent long
season pasture crop. Glover furnish
es pasture from early spring until
fall
4. Blue Grass or Native Pasture.
Blue grass Gotten with some white
clOver) furnishes earliest spring pas
ture, but not much forage in midsum-
mer and one of the first three men,
toned pasture crops should also be
supplied
3. Alfalfa. Alfalfa is an excellent
forage for pigs, but pigs may not be so
good for the alfalfa. Trials are in
progress to find out how many years
alfalfa can be pastured by hogs before
IT is killed out.
6. Soybears. A good crop for late
summer and fall. Drill at corn plant
ing time at rate of 1/2 to 2/3 bushel
all acre. Don't turn pigs on until
beans are formed in pods, as chief
value of forage is in the beans and
not the leaves.

Interstate Commerce Commits

EMPTY CARS TO MOVE
Transportation of Grain and Coal Re-
ceives FIRST Attention-Go At
Tieup With Hammer
and longs.

Washington-The Interstate Com
merce commission has taken it's lirst
step toward breaking the freight
blockade TeIegraphic appeals were
sent to all state railway and public
service commissions urging them to
join with the government in lifting the
burden, while the commissions force
of inspectors began to get accurate
data respecting conditions at critical
points.
Members of the commission recOg-
nized that the present crisis would pro-
vide a real test for the new transpor-
tatiOn act and likewise that the emer-
gency clauses must measure up to the
claims of their staunchest supporters
Task May Require Weeks.
With increasing complaints from
shippers and requests for assistance
from the railroads themselves, the
commission is understood to have de-
termined to go into the freight tie-up
with hammer and tongs. Officials,
however, urged patience, since it may
require days and even weeks to start
anything like a resumption of normal
transportation service In it's first at
tempts at freeing the maze of rail
equipment the commission probably
will deal with local situations in the
various cities through individual roads.
This was expected to last, however,
only until a general scheme can be
worked out by which priOrities and
embargoes can be employed to re-
strain the onrushing stream of COM
mOdities waiting at every station.
Further suggestions of the railroads
were given the commission at confer
ences with representatives of the rail
roads and shippers organization Off
Gals The fuel situation has slowly
developed to the danger point, repre-
sentatives said, and they proposed that
the commission establish a general
movement of coal cars eastward.
The commission in a statement said
it was keeping in constant touch with
every phase of the situation through
it's own representatives and in coop
GRAFTON with the railroads. The Amer
lean Railway associations car service
has turned over to the commission it's
figures on the car supply.
Empty cars are now being sent to
the West from Eastern roads to trans
port grain, while the West is being
called upon to give up its coal cars for
transportation in the East

A Mexican citizen of MaZatlan re-
Gently has been granted concession
of 100 hectares (about PAT acreS), and
so much more as may be necessary, at
the railway station of Oso, state of
Sinaloa, for the purpose of establish
ing an experimental farm to demon
strate the economic value which would
result from the proper use of modern
American agricultural machinery in
the production of crops. 1t is the in
tention of the concessionaire to rent
portions of the lands at a nominal cOsi

tural machinery and implements, who
may send experts to demonstrate the
machinery with the view both to pro-
noting sales of the American goods
and to educating the people in the

INSIDE DOPE ON
PAPER MACHINES

You have all heard about a paper
machine and without doubt you
have all seen one and you have noticed
number of men sitting around appar-
emily doing but nevertheless on the
job or in some cases on the jacket.
Now first of all comes your boss ma
chine tender. He is the gink who pops
up just when the back side of the ma
chine offers nice little spot for a
quiet smoke or a daylight snooze. He
never smiles and and and ah--h-h he
wears shoes.
Now the top soak of the outfit is
called the machine tender. Originally
he was a greaser but he has forgotten
all about that He holds down the
jacket on the stretcher. chews Standard
and buns Snuse from his job lots. He
orders stock from the beaten engineer
and other minor jobs. He also wears
shoes.
Next the backtender or duty ser
geant He sits on the broke boxes
watching the calender stack to see
that they make neat. clean cuts. Oh
yes. he dries the paper too. / don't
know how but he said he did. He also
sets the slitters which makes shavings
and more work for the fourth hand.
He can wear shoes if he wants to.
Then your high ranking third hand.
He winderS up the run or runs the
winder. you can't tell which some times.
He is inst two nOtcheS above the low
est and two nOtches below the abOvest,
hence happy medium and high
ranker. He wears shoes if he has
them.
Following the above is your fourth
hand or official farm hand. He is pri-
vate secretary to the third hand and
he sure yields a wicked fiat iron on all
breaks. He pitches hay, rain or
shine and cusses those higher up. He
is private first class of the outfit. He
wears No shoes.
Last but not least, officially the
Oiler. more often the greaser or screen
monkey. He scrapes screens with a
steam hose, pulls wet broke and jumps
on the hay for living. When not
actively engaged he sits on the jacket
with the top kick reading the Give
best ways to become a paper maker"
namely. Oiler. fourth hand, third hand,
back tender and machine tender. He
is the Buck private rear rank of the
outfit. He goes barefoot I thank you.
