FIELD MUSEUM In

INTO NEW HOME

Chicago. May 3.-The Field Nh.
scum of Chicago, the greatest natural
history museum in the west. will be
opened to the public in its new home
on the southern edge Of Grant park
tomorrow, ~ years after the museum,
took root. 1t is n of the rontribu-
tions that the great Worlds Fair of
1893 made to Chicago.
Launched in the old exposition
building in Jackson park in 1894, the
plans for the new building began as
a sketch in 1902, reached the form
of final working plans in 1906, and
went under contract in 1911. The
building was actually put under con
strnction on the present site in 1915.
When this site was chosen the
waters of the lake covered the great
er portion of it and the South Park
commissioners had to make arrange
ments to fill this area n to obtain
the consent Of the war department to
the changing Of the Lake Shore line.
The present location works in harl
mony with the city beautiful plans.
Wonderful treasure from the Mines
and Mining building, the Manufac-
lures building, Fisheries and Trans
portation buildings, and other ex-
hibits scattered throughout the spa
cious fair grounds was obtained.
These precious collections have since
been augmented by other exhibits ac-
quired at the close of various expo
sitions-Paris, San Francisco, st.

PLANT PESTS CAUSE
BIG LOSS OF WHEAT
Possible to Reduce Toll Much Be-
low Present Figures.
Bureau Of Plant Industry Working
Out Preventive and Control Meas
ures for Diseases of Different
Cereal Crops.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
If all the wheat now destroyed an
nually by pests could be saved and
made into flour the United States De
partment of Agriculture says it would
add approximately 29,463, 700 barrels
70 the yearly output to the nation.
The annual production of wheat in
this country for the four-year period,
1916 to 1919, inclusive, was 7S3,S49,-
500 bushels. The annual loss from
disease during this period was 141,-
31S.500 bushels.
While it is not possible entirely TO
eliminate wheat diseases. it is pos
Sible to reduce the toll much below
what it has been in recent years, says
the department. One branch of the
work of the Office of cereal investiga-
tons in the bureau of plant industry
is to work ont the preventive and con
troll measures for the diseases of all

POULTRY AND DAIRY PROFITS
One of Very Best Ways Farmer Can
Dispose of Surplus Milk is to
Feed 1t to Fowls.

The dairyman (or the farmer who
runs a small dairy in connection with
his FARM is in an enviable position
to make the biggest proportionate
profits from a flock Of poultry. One
reason for this is that the best foods
as milk producers are also excellent
egg producers For instance, clover,
alfalfa, middlings, rye, etc, are all
palatable and beneficial to cows and
chicks alike-and SO is an occasional
mess of finely chopped silage.
Furthermore, the cows furnish one
of the best of foods for laying hens,
for milk is valuable egg food in any
form. One of the very best ways any
farmer can dispose of surplus milk
with profit is to feed 1t to the hens,
or to growing young stock. It fur

for improving growth of eggs-and does

hence it is an exceedingly valuable
product ms an adjunct to the grain

TO INSURE HEALTHY CALVES
If Cow Does Not Receive Abundance
of Palatabe Feed, Weak, Puny
Calf Results.

Poorly nourished cows give birth to
weak, puny calves which are hard to
raise. The feeding of the calf, there
fore, begins before it is born. The food
elements necessary for the develop
.ment of the calf are taken into the
stomach of the COW, digested, assimi-
lated and transmitted to the calf
through the umbilical cord. the con-
nection between the mother and the
calf. 1t is evident that If the COW
does not receive food enough to keep
herself in thrifty condition and at the
same time develop her calf, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, both she and the
calf must suffer.
In endeavoring to raise good, thrift!
calves many dairymen handicap them
selves at the start by not properly
feeding the pregnant cows. Such COWS
should have an abundance of palatable
and succulent or juicy feed in order to
insure good body flesh and healthy
thrifty condition at calving time. The
calves will then be well developed
strong and sturdy, and ready to re
spond normally to proper feed anc
care.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Specialists in the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture urge con-
stantly the establishing of uniform
clare that If these standards are
maintained, once they have been
adopted, the confidence Of the public
will be established, and the success
of cooperative marketing more gen
orally assured. Too many organiza-
tons are brought into being as re-
suit of enthusiasm created by appeals
to prejudice and by misconception.
The proper foundation is through
well-recognized need for an organiza-
ton.
cooperative principles" said CO.
operative specialist of the bureau Of
markets, must be adhered to In the
organization and operation of farm
ers' marketing associations. The
farmers themselves cannot be expect
ed to have a vital interest in a mar
keting organization operated for the
profit of and controlled by few per-
sons. Such an organization should be
operated, of course, to effect savings
and to render service and not to earn
profits for distribution as dividends on
money invested. A fair rate of inter-
est is granted to the capital invested
by the members, and the remainder
of any surplus to be distributed should
be divided In accordance with patron
age, that is, the amount Of business
transacted with the organization.
Loyalty Is Essential.
1.-THE membership should be open to
producers only who desire to avail
themselves of its facilities, and there
should be safeguards to prevent the
ownership and control of the enter.
prise from falling into the hands of q
few persons. The success of the en-
tire effort depends upon the loyalty OF
the members and their interest In the
organization, the high standards they
maintain, and their distinct under
standing that as a business associa
ton it should be managed by mar
or men able to earn a dignihed com
pensation. Dsloyalty has caused The
| failure of more than one cooperative
organization, and it is weakness
which can be remedied only by the
members themselves.
1.-The manager, of course, is thu

salary offered him should attract high
class ability as in any business look
ing to success. and he should have au
thority to support his work. Az en-
