OF COURSE 1T WASN'T TRUE
Good Illustration of German Charac-
ter in Simplicity Displayed by
Soldier in France.

One American who remained at
Lille during the German occupation
used his time to study German charac-
ter. He told Mrs. Corrina H. Smith
and Mrs. Caroline r. Hill, authors of
Rising Above the Ruins in France"
one astonishing thing that he had no.
ticed-the childish unreasoning conf
dence that the German soldier had in
whatever he was told by his superb
ors-and he gave this example of it.
Il knew German" he said, land one
day l talked with a German sentry
who was standing over some French
civilians at work in a field He was
reading a newspaper and, turning to
me, said Indignantly. The French say
we force civilians to work against
their WILL That's not true this Ger
man paper denies it.
Il looked at him in amazement and
asked, We'll what are you doing your
self, standing here with your gun over
these poor people?'

TO the resources of the country, to-
gether with an enormously stimulated
production of all kinds of supplies, is
road system which will not only
open up the virgin territories of the
West and South, but which will quick
en- the pulse of trade in the most
congested districts of the East,
where the casual observer might be-
lieve that traffic has been fully devel-
oped but which close students say
could be geared up to a remarkable
extent through efficient use of the
highways.
In standing by the creation Of a
federal road commission, the officials
of the body expressed their belief in
the feeling, now generally prevalent
throughout the United States @among
road men, that the time has come
when transportation on the highways
is deserving of more substantial recog-
milton than that accorded it as q
bureau, which while it has been as
efficient as the limitations of the law
has permitted, would be dignified if
elevated to the rank Of commission,
and would make possible representa-
ton of five different districts of the
United States with their diverse needs.
As for the future of the highways
transport committee, the work already
done by the voluntary organizations
has opened such vast field for re-
search in the economic life of the
country that it is believed this work
should be continued as branch I'M
der the proposed road commission by
salared men who should be experts
in the field, and who would give all of
their time to a close development of
the problems which the present COM
mittee has thus far only had time to
uncover.

DISTRIBUTE BUILDING COSTS
Proper Share of Expense for Repac-
ing Old Buildings Should Be
Charged to Income.

A proper share of the cost for re.
placing old farm buildings should be
charged against the farm income each
year. Buildings may be constructed
to last for 100 years, or they may
stand only a third of that time.s II
the cost Of replacement is not charged
into the yearly accounts the whole
bill will appear against the income for
single year. . Depreciation charges
for buildings, machinery, or other
farm equipment are merely method
for distributing these costs over the
period of years in which the equip
ment is in actual use.

MILO VALUABLE FOR
FEEDING ALL STOCK
Rapid Increase in Acreage in
the Past Few Years.
Best and Surest Way to improve Crop
Is for Each Farmer to Select
Seed and Give Plant Good,
Clean Cultivation.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Milo has long since passed the eX-
perimental stage as farm crop in the
southwestern United States, accord
ing to Farmers bulletin No. 1l47, re-
Gently issued by the United States De
partment of Agriculture. This is
shown by the rapid increase in its
acreage and value in the past 10 years.
From approximately $4,000 acres III
1899, valued at 100000, the crop had
increased in 1918 to 1905, 900 acres,
valued at S21 100000 nearly fifty-fOld
in acreage and more than one hundred
fold in value. The increase in
to 1918, inclusive, has been rapid and
substantial, totaling about 100000
acres, with an added value of $1S,-
100000.
Milo has not yet reached its econom-
ic limits in either acreage or produc-
ton. These, it is said, should in
crease still further as the value and
the adaptation of the crop are more
generally understood. Many acres of
land in the district where milo is
adapted that are now used or devoted
to other less profitable crops may be
used to advantage by growing milo.
The best and Surest way to improve
the crop is for each farmer to select
his seed, prepare a good seeded, and
give the crop good, clean cultivation.
Milo is used for feeding all kinds of
stock. 1t may be used either as q
grain ration or a roughage ration for
horses and cattle. The use of the
crop for silage is increasing. The
grain is also used as food for man,
milo meal being said to equal corn
meal either for separator use or in
combination with wheat flour
Detailed information concerning the
varieties of milo and their proper cul-
tivation, harvesting, storing and uses,
are contained in new bulletin, which
may be had upon request of the

culture at Washington, D. c.

Improvement IN MARKETING
important Fundamental Problem is
Education of Public-Changes
Must Be Gradual.

One of the important fundamental
problems confronting marketing agen-
cies, according to the bureau of mar
kets, United States Department of
Agriculture, is the education of the
public to a point where it will gen.
orally realize that the present market
ing system is a product of evolution !;
that improvements must be made grad
ually by changes in method and pro-
cedure and by eliminating specific rec
ognized evils; that it is impossible
to set up instantly perfectly efficient
and automatically operated new mar
ketlng machine; or to cure all econ
omic ills by legislation. The public
must appreciate also, say the special
lists. that marketing is quite as much
problem for the consumer as for the
producer.

In selecting the breed best suited Tor

and PuIlets Together in One
House in Cold Weather.

A good many farm poultry raisers
make the mistake of housing toe many
hens and pullets together during cold
weather. Hens will lay as we'll if
yarded and we'll cared for as if on
free range; but they must not be
crowded when they are confined.
If the hens are being fed and forced
for eggs alone, get them into winter
quarters in their pens early in the fall
and do not change them about after
they have been located. Introducing
new hens into the laying pens always
causes more or less confusion, and
this decreases the number of eggs
laid.

The Riqht Kind Are Uniform Eggs.
be mated with one male, depending on
his age and vitality and where the
fowls are yarded, but this proportion
may be increased where the birds have
free range. Good ventilation in the
house is a great help in keeping the
stock in good breeding condition.
Should Select Uniform Eggs.
Abnormal small and poorly-shaped
eggs should be discarded. Do not set
eggs which have thin or very porous
appearing shells. Eggs should be set
when fresh, if possible, and il is not
advisable to use eggs for IdtchlnS
which are over two weeks old, al
though stale ones frequently hatch.
Selecting uniformly large eggs the
same color is one of the quickest ways
to secure uniformity in the offspring
and increase the size of the eggs. 1t
is well to clean dirty eggs by rubbing
lightly with a damp cloth, taking care
not to rub off any more of the natural
bloom of the egg than is necessary.
Duck eggs usually require washing,
which does net appear TO injure their
Matching qualities.
Eggs for Matching should be collect
ed two or three times a day in freez-
ing weather to prevent chilling.
Broody hens allowed to sit on eggs in
the laying nests all day may hurt the
Matching qualities of the eggs. For
convenience in handling, eggs, in
large numbers, are generally kept in
a cabinet or turning rack, in room
where the temperature is between so
and 60 degrees b., if possible. al
though they will stand wider variation.
IT is not necessary to turn eggs kept
only for a few days. but this should
be done daily with those over a week
old. Various commercial turning de-
panies. or the eggs may be kept in
cabinet drawers and shufiled about
with the hands by removing few
eggs from the trays. Commercial egg
cases sometimes are used for holding
the eggs for Matching.
Eggs from different varieties of the
same class of poultry may be incubat-
ed together, but 1t is not advisable to
mix eggs from the Mediterranean or
egg breeds, such as Leghorns and
Minorcas. with Plymouth Rocks or
Orpingtons. as the eggs from the
smuller breeds often hatch a little
earlier than those from the larger
breeds. Neither the her nor the in
cubator will hatch strong chickens
from weak germs or from eggs which
have not received proper care.

SUNFLOWER SEED GOOD FEED
For Growing Animals or Laying Hens
Material Is Considered Superior
to Grain.

Limited feeding tests with sunfiower
seed compared to grains show them to
be of about equal value. From their
composition sunflower seed should
have about the same value as mixed
corn and oats. The sunflower seed is
higher in protein than corn or oats. but
is also higher in crude fiber than corn
or oats grains. For growing animals
or laying hens probably the sunfiower
seed would be somewhat better than
grain.
