POSTAL SAVINGS

Postmaster General Hays is on the
right track in seeking to bring into
circulation and profitable employ
ment the billion dollars which he
claims is now being boarded and
therefore lost to industry. In order
to accomplish the end he has in view
he plans to have the postal savings
system revised so as to make it more
attractive to small depositors.
Mr.. Hayes can have no design to
put the postal savings system in
competition with the private banks.
He must recognize that to do so
would be unfair as well as a disas-
trous policy.
As a matter of fact the growth
of postal savings will result to the
benefit of private banks, for the
money will be redeposited with them
by the government. Banks who
have been consulted are in favor of
the movement.
The intention is to inspire conf
dence and courage in the small cap
italist, who through ignorance or
timidity does not patronize bank
Of any sort and who keeps his money
where it earns nothing and where it
is an easy prey to loss, waste or
"wildcat" schemes.
The postal savings idea was a
splendid one, but it has not been de-
veloped to the extent Of which it is
capable. 1t is generally believed that
there is an era of great expansion
and prosperity ahead, and if an ex-
ira billion dollars or so can be
rounded up and put to work, the
beneficial results can scarcely be
imagined.
If Mr.. Hayes succeeds in driving
home to the people the truth of the
proposition that boarded wealth is
wasted wealth, and induces them to
act accordingly, he will have rem
dered an actual service to Icdm-
merce and to the masses of the peo-
pie as well.

Twenty Cent Cotton
For March First

Since the government issued its
report on August LIST, giving the es-
timated average condition of the
cotton crop at 64.7, or normal, the
crop is reported to have deteriorated
fully 25 per cent in the territory
between Dallas and San Antonio,
Texas, says Sugarman's Indicator.
There are well-informed crop spe-
cialists in Texas who are venting the
opinion that the entire state may not
produce more than 100000 bales.
They are very hullish on cotton in
Texas and are predicting zoe per
pound by March list, contrasting
with a prevailing level of 13c per
pound. On a purchase of 10 bales
of May cotton at lac per pound,
necessitating marginal deposit of

indicated paper profit of 5000, less
$3.50 commission and small gov

Even though the May cotton flu
lures should sell up to zoe per lb, by
March l, there would necessarily be
frequent reactions and bulges which
would give numerous profit-making
opportunities. While trading in cot

the same time when you consider

After Using Javelle Water
 Rinse Cloth Thoroughly

JavelIe water, which can be made at home. is a good bleaching agent to use in removing stains from white linen and cotton when more simple methods fail. Obstinate stains made by clear coffee and tea, fruits, or ink, for instance, will yield to an appli- cation of this useful liquid.
 Javelle water should be applied only to uncOlored cotton or linen ma terials, because it bleaches colors and rots silk or wool. In treating stains with Javelle water, stretch the stained portion over a bowl filled with water and apply the Javelle water to the stain with a medicine dropper. Do not allow the Javelle water to remain in contact with the stain for more than one minute. Apply oxalic-acid solution to neutral ize the Javelle water, and rinse by dipping the stain in the bowl of water
 If allowed to remain too long in contact with the fibers, Javelle wa ter rots even linen and cotton ma terials, and it should, therefore, al ways be neutralized with oXalic acid and the fabric rinsed thoroughly to remove all traces of the chemical. For very persistent stains the Javelle water may have to be applied sev- eral times, but should be neutralized with oxalic-acid solution after each application.
 Prepare Javelle water as follows: Dissolve 1 pound of washing soda in 1 quart of cold water. To this solu ton add f pound of ordinary bleaching powder (calcium hypoch- lorite). Filter this liquid through a piece of muslin to remove the sedi- ment. Keep the clear liquid in tightly stoppered bottles in dark place.

OUR FARMERS CORNER

lawns, according to specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, is to rake out as much of the weed as practicable in the early spring, using fine-tooth gar den rake. This will seriously ro- tard the growth of the weed. Con- mcrcial fertilizer should be heavily applied immediately after raking and the lawn iberally seeded with good laWn-grass mixture. The heavy growth of grass which should result will tend to crowd out the shallow rooted chickweed. Constant moving and watering throughout the grow ing season will hamper the spread of the pest. The lawn should also be rolled each spring.
 One method of destroying chick weed is to allow chickens to have access to the lawns early in the spring. Extensive experiments have been made with chemicals for des- troying chickweed but without mark ed success.

feed is essential to best results and can be supplied by feeding meat scrap or skinned milk Given free range, where the supply of natural feed during the winter and early spring is ample, as it usually is in the southern portion of the United States, the guineas can be left to pick up a considerable part of their feed, say poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agri- culture. Free access to grit, char coal, and oyster shell is necessary throughout the breeding and laying season. Avoid having the breeders too fat, but keep them in good firm flesh.
 Like quail and most other wild birds, guinea fowls in their wild state mate in pairs, and this tendency pre- vails among domesticated guineas also, provided the males and females are equal in number As the breed ing season approaches, one pair after another separates from the remain der of the flock and ranges off in the fields in search of a suitable nestign place. Once mated in this way, the male usually remains with his mate throughout the laying sea- son, standing guard somewhere near the nest while the hen is laying, and ready to warn her of any approach ing danger.
 However, it is not necessary to mate them in hairs under domestic conditions to secure fertile eggs, and most breeders keep but one male for every three or four females. Whn mated in this way the hens are more apt to lay near home, and 3ev- eral usually lay in the same next, thus making it much easier to find the nests and gather the eggs.
 While guineas can be kept in the best breeding condition upon free range, still they can be confined, if necessary, and satisfactory results

Ventilators Prevent Hay

Ventilators Prevent Hay
 From Heating in Barns
 Hay, especially alfalfa or clover, is likely to suffer damage through heating in the barn. This can be prevented by ventilation. To ven- tilate hay barn the United Sta,es Department of Agriculture experts recommend the use of lattice venti- lators 12 to 15 inches square and as long as convenient. These vonti- lators, which look somewhat like elongated crates, are made with cor ners consisting of 2 to scantlings slated together with narrow boards 12 to IS inches long. They should be braced to prevent crushing.
 The ventilators are laid in the hay 10 or 12 feet apart horizontally and far enough apart vertically so that the distance will not be more than 8 or 10 feet after the hay has settlod. The ends should come out to the edge of the hay so as to permit free pas sage of air. This will permit the carrying off of steam caused by eva poration and will preserve the hay and prevent overheating. The ven tilators can be made of various sizes of material, and if strongly con- structed will last many years.

obtained. One extensive guinea raiser, has confined as many as 45 hens and 5 males in an acre pen throughout the breeding and laying season and been usccessful. This pen is inclosed with a wire fence 5 feet high, anl the birds are prevent ed from flying over by clipping the flight feathers of one wing. Within the pen is a grass pasture with bushes here and there where the hens make thir nsts by scratching out a bowl shaped hollow in the ground. The winters being severe, a roasting shed is porvided, having a cleated board reaching from the floor to the rooats for the wing-clipped birds to walk up.

Do Not Overlook Eggs
 To Be Given Small Child

Eggs are especially useful food for young children. The chief point to remember in preparing them for children is that they must not be overcooked or they are likely to cause indigestion, say food special ists in the United States Department of Agriculture. Every one knows how the heat of cooking hardens the egg, and it is easy to understand why the digestive juices might have difficulty in penetrating such hald substance as the white of a hard boiled egg. Overcooked yolks are also thought to be hard to digest. However, when eggs are cooked m the shell, the heat reaches the white before it does the yolk, and there is more danger of the white being overcooked than of the yolk The best ways of serving eggs for chil- dren are poached, soft boiled, or coddled, though they may be scrambled for change if one is careful not to scorch the fat used nor to overcook the egg.
 Many means have been suggested for cooking eggs in such way that the yolks will be cooked and the whites will not be overcooked. One of the most satisfactory is by coddl- ing, which is done as follows: Allow cupful of water to each egg, bring the water to the boiling point, re- move it from the fire, put in the eggs, cover the dish closely, and leave the eggs in the water for about

seven minutes. There is some ur- certainty about this mthod, for eggs differ in weight and also in tempera- ture at the time the cooking begins. On the whole this method can be more depended on than others. Good results can be obtained by pouring hot water over eggs, if the same dish with the same amount of water is always used, but each cook must make her own rules.

Controlling S orrel

A good treatment fo" sheep sorrel, according to the United States De- partment of Agriculture specialists, is to apply ground lime stone 2 tons per acre, hydrated lime F tons per acre, or quicklime 1 ton per acre. The quicklime can be used to advan- tage by slaking with water and sprinkling the mixture freely over the sorrel. The liquid will injure the leaves as we'll as help correct soil acidity. Sorrel can be destroyed by spraying with a solution of sulphate of iron (copperas), 2 pounds to the gallon of water. The treatment will not permanently injure grass and will destroy the weed if repeated as often aB the sorrel tries to send out new leaves. Spraying is useful where sorrel occurs as patches in a good stand of grass and around rocks and fences. Iron sulrhate IS deadly to clovers and tc many broad leaved weeds, but is not injurious to animals or the soil. Sorrel can cas- fly be destroyed by a short rotation of crops. If possible, the rotation should be arran%e1 so that the soil will be cultivated at different seasons cf each year,
