United States. The small hay grower, however, need not make a very heavy investment in new having apparatus, for by rearranging the working of his crew and using a little more horse labor for the hard work he can add considerably to the efficiency of his crew.
 Here are some suggestions made by the specialists for avoiding of labor in haymaking.
 Do not run two or more mowers close together. If the front mower has any trouble that causes 1t to stop, all of the mowers usually wait while re- pairs are made on one. There is a tendency, also. for drivers to waste too much time talking when they stop occasionally to let the teams rest. A good practice when two or more ma chimes are used Is for each driver

CPrepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 The hay crop, even when the labor supply is normal, causes more worry, anxiety, and disappointment than any other crop. The time for harvesting is Comparatively short. Other crops re- Quire attention at the same time. And the weather is to be reckoned with.
 A great deal of labor is wasted every year during hay harvest, say special ists of the United States Department of Agriculture, not because of actual idleness on the part of the workers, but because labor is expended unnec- essarily on operations that do not utilize it to the best advantage. If an old method can be superseded by a new one that will enable the same number of men to accomplish more work in the same length of time, or fewer men to accomplish the same work in the same length of time, it will mean more hay saved, more profit to the farmer, and better con ditiOn for the country.
 Shift Burden from Man to Horse.
 Although there is a scarcity of man labor, there are still plenty of horses on most farms, and herein largely lies the solution of the problem. On farms where considerable hay is grown methods must be adopted by which the greater part of the heavy labor is done by horses. This will necessitate the general use of certain types of labor saving machinery, some of them not so common in the East, which have been thoroughly tested and proved satisfactory in the western part of the

REDUCE LOSSES IN SHIPPING
and Packing Spinach Is Urged by Specialists.

Losses in long-distance shipments of spinach can be greatly reduced by careful handling in harvesting and packing together with effective re- frigeration in transit, according to specialists of the bureau of markets of the United States Department of Agriculture. Decay and deterioration in transit caused by the development of slimy soft rot cause serious losses to shippers in some sections.
 ''This decay develops rapidly in transit when temperature conditions are favorable" say investigators of the bureau. Tt starts at places where the leaves have been bruised or wounded, and 1t very frequently fol- lows attacks of blight or other field diseases. Other causes of deteriora- ton in transit are yellowing and wilt ing of the leaves. Prompt handling and shipment at a low temperature largely reduce losses from these causes"

citizens, Trainina camps.

Two Citizens military training camps will be held in the Eighth corps area during the summer-One at Fort Logan, near Denver, Colo, from Aug ust 1 to 30, of which Col. Paul A. Wolf, Ninth infantry, will be the command ant, the other at Camp Travis, near San Antonio, Texas, from July 15 to August 14, of which Brig. Gen. Han- sen B. Ely, U. s. A., will be command ant. Both these officers had notable service during the World war and both are eminently fitted to conduct a citi- Zens' military training camp, and both are heartily with plans and purposes of such camps. Attendance at these camps will be limited to approved ap- plicants between the ages of 16 and 35 years, of average intelligence, of good moral character and in good physical condition, and generally will be limited to candidates living within 200 miles of the camp, although a few residing at greater distance will be authorized to attend. Civilians who are author iZed to attend these camps will not re- ceive any pay for attendance thereat, but will receive free all necessary uni form, clothing, food and shelter, med ical attention, arms and ammunition, equipment and railroad transportation from their homes to the camp and re- turn.

Atlantic City, N. J.-Dr. W. Fl.

He declared if reform CTS succeeded in banishing tobacco dis eases of the teeth and gums are likely to increase, adding: Tobacco forms a sislagogue around the teeth thus preventing bacteria from getting a foOthold. A cigar performs the same function to less degree, but a cigaret, because of its paper wrapper, has not the value in this respect"

 The report of the governments fi- nances for May showed ordinary re- ceipts aggregating .S224, 100000, which was $145, 100000 less than ordinary disbursements. This compared with ordinary disbursements of $258,OOO,OOO in May year ago. For the eleven months ordinary receipts were $4,475,- 100000, which was $229, 100000 fn ex- cess of ordinary disbursements. Ordi. nary receipts during the corresponding period last year were $5,3S9, 100000.

When barrels are used, 1t is advis- able to scatter crushed ice in several layers through the container, large layer being placed on top of the spin- ach next to the barrel head. Holes bored in the bottom of the barrel pro- vide drainage. Shipments in baskets or crates carry best with a layer of crushed ice in the center of the con- tainer and another layer on top of the spinach just under the cover.

DENVER LIVE STOCK.

Denver live stock markets are steady, despite the fact that all east ern markets were off from 10 to 20 cents. The supply was quickly taken up by buyers, although 4OOO head or cattle and hogs were in the pens. Pre- ern markets, coupled with the fact that many railroads in Colorado are out of commission, has caused local firms to predict that the market con dition here will be most favorable dur ing the remaining days of the week
 Cattle.
 The market held it's own, and sell ing closed strong. Prices generally held at about the same figure as last week.
 Three carloads of cattle from the pens of the state experimental station at Fort Collins sold for $9, $8.50 and S8.25. These prices were much higher than the general run of sales on ac- count of the quality of the stock. Sell ing in the cattle pens stayed close to ST One load went for $7.15, with the bulk of fat stuff going at $7 and $7. 10. The bidding on cows was slow, few going at $6.25. Two carloads of young stuff sold for $8.30.
 Hogs.
 The hog market started off with a drag, but got better as the sales pro- gressed Competition over light stuff than 200 pounds and selling for SIPS. The bulk of the offerings were knocked down at $7, S7.10 and s7.20. A few heavy hogs sold at $6.25. Re- ceipts 2,000.

to lay off a 'land" for himself and work independently, so there will be no interference from other machines.
 Do not turn hay by hand. It is too costly. The cheapest and most efficient way of stirring hay in the windrow is with a twO-horse tedder. One man with a tedder will do more work than 12 men stirring with hand forks. It is not even necessary to have a man to run the tedder. A boy big enough to drive team will do just as much work.
 A one-horse rake operated by a man makes raking very costly. A two-horse sulky rake is better, but the side-de- livery rake is best. When curing is done in the swath and a hay loader is used, the crew can start taking rhe hay from the windrow as soon as the side delivery has made one double win drow across the field. If the sulky rake is used, the crew will have to wait until the rake has gone several times across the field. Tn this matter the extent of the having operations has to be considered, of course! On very small farms the use of the side-de- livery rake might not be economy.
 It is a waste of time to pitch hay onto small hayrack on high-wheeled wagon. Use a large hayraC on a low-wheeled wagon.
 Save Labor on the Stack.
 The push rake furnishes the most economical method of hauling hay to the stack, barn. or hay press if the distance Is not much more than one fourth of a mile. One man, or a boy, with good push rake and a team used to the work will handle three times as much hay as two men with small rack on high-wheeled wagon.
 Stacking hay with a push rake and an overshOt stacker mounted on wheels eliminates nearly all of the back breaking work of the old pitchfork method. With yield of one to one and half tons to the acre, two men on the stack can easily handle all the hay brought in by three push rakes, accomplishing vast saving in labor and hay over the pitchfOrk method. Another method not so good but still vastly better than the pitchfork method is a stacker equipment with double harpoon fork. The outfit can be made at home and will cost very little con- pared with the labor it saves, but harder work Is necessary to get the hay on the stack than with the over shot stacker.
 When hay Is to be baled from the field, one man by working in the after noon, can round up enough hay which has been punched by push rakes to keep the press going next morning until the dew Is gone from the hay in the windrOw. When the hay is not thus rounded up the crew will lose two hours or more on mornings when there is a heavy dew.
 CarelesSness in setting the press may result in loss of labor. When the press is properly set two men can get plenty of hay to 1t from the stack.
