HANDY GATE FOR DEHORNING
Holder Rugged Up Leaving Sufficient
Space for Animals Head ls
Easily Constructed.

A lock gate for catching and hold
ing cows while they are being de-
horned and marked, is simple in con-
struction.
First make a gateway in the lot
fence, using not less than 4-inch ma
terial for the gateposts. Now nail
a 6-inch board on each side of these
posts, across the gate at the ground,
and also two others across at the top
Of the posts. Close up half of the
opening by mailing boards dlagonally
to the boards at top and bottom Of
the posts, as illustrated. Get a strong
pole, about inches in diameter and
70 feet long. Bore a hole through its
large end with a 1-lnch auger; also
bore through the bottom boards, about
s or 10 inches from the post at the
open side of the gate. Let the pole
down between the top boards and the
bottom ones, and insert a 1 inch rod
through the bottom boards and the
pole. Then tie a 1-inch rope to the
top end of the pole.
When ready to dehorn or mark a
large strong animal, drive her toward
the gate. Just as she passes her head
by the pole, pull 1t over against her
neck, and she is easily held. There

Jail for Alexander Howat.

AVERAGE WEIGHT OF CALVES
Figures Secured From Dairy Herds Of
University of IIIInois-Faotors
That Influence.

A very well-bred Holstein bull calf
weighing 112 pounds was recently
dropped at the Kansas state agricul-
tural college farm at Manhattan. Most
of the dairy infants, however, weigh
considerably less than this Kansas
heavyweight.
In the dairy herds of the University
of Illinois the average weights of the
calves of the various breeds at birth
have been as follows: Holstein male,
80 lbs; female, 89 lbs; Ayrshire male,
TIT; female, TIA; Guernsey male, 70; !;
female, 68,8; Jersey male, 62.4; fe-
male, 59.7 lbs.
1t is a good practice to note and
record the approximate weights of
calves at birth, because this informa-
tion is valuable in apportioning milk
to the young animals. The 112-pound
Kansas giant, for instance, could
handle feeding of milk that would
put Jersey calf Of average weight
in line for castor oil.
Besides breed and sire, heredity and
the age size and physical condition
of the dam influence birth weights.

Measuring EMPLOYEES Value.

An entirely new method Of measur-
ing the value of an employees work is
receiving its first test in the garment
industry at Cleveland, o. Scientifical-
ly determined standards of work have
been installed.
The wage standards, as they are
called, were determined after six
months Of intensive time studies of
actual operations. The Cleveland Gar
ment Manufacturers union Joined in
paying the expense.
The amount of work an average en-
,plOyee can do in a week is considered
1000 points, for which a stipulated
weekly wage is paid. For all that an
employee does above the average
standard, he is paid extra, according
to a regulated scale.
In addition to guaranteeing the
worker q minimum weekly wage and
paying him for all he produces above
that, the plan provides for paying the
worker during whatever idle time
there may be in his workday.

FOR WASHING MILK BOTTLES
FIJI Receptacles With Water When
Emptled to Prevent Albumen and
casein Hardening

The milk bottle, if not washed as
soon as emptied, should be filled with
cold or lukewarm water till it Is
washed. The albumen and casein
harden and stick fast when they dry
as well as when heated So that if
hot water is poured in the bottle or
can that has had milk in it the albu-
men and casein will harden and stick.
After washing with lukewarm water
use hot water, which removes the fat,
and rinse in boiling water or steam to
kill the bacteria.

LEVIN FIGHTS LABOR UNIONS
Food for Thought for Those Who
Would Destroy Trade organiza-
tions in This Country.


The report of the Bolsheyik agent in
Great Britain contains one sentence
which ought to be engraved and hung
In prominent place in the Office Of
every president of large corporation.
After complaining because so little
headway in the Bolshevik cause had
been made in Britain, the agent said:
''WOrk is being concentrated on the
Industrial eenters, where the commun-
lists are constantly fighting the trade
unions"
The Journal has said time after
time that in any struggle between CIV
ilization and Bolshevism, the labor
unions are holding civilizations front
line trenches. Here is evidence of this
truth from the other side of the con-
trOversy.
The trade union, though it has a
full share of faults and vices, is at
least based on a stable, orderly and
reasonably free state of society and
would perish miserably in ''proletar-
ian dictatorship" 1t has organized
on working basis the very people
whom the communist seeks to organ
ize on a revolutionary basis. 1t is
the first line of defense against Lenin-
ism and, whatever it's other demerits,
