Some people race through life until
they reach the brink of the grave.
Then the brakes refuse to work.
While something like a million and
a half railroad workers are voting on
the question whether TO strike rather
than accept a IL per cent reduction
5000, 900 farmers who have already ac-
cepted a 60 per cent reduction in the
prices Of their products who will be
interested in the result Of that ballot.
False economy" is the answer
many bureaucrats give TO any demand
for a reduction Of expenditures, and
it is sometimes a very plausible ans
wer. Almost any man can demon
strdte that it would be real economy
in the end to increase his eXpend-
itures. Nevertheless, every business
man finds himself compelled to regu
late his expenses in accordance with
his income, and the government must
do the same. President Harding is
entitled TO the cooperation Of all his
subordinates in his retrenchment pro-
gram, and will be commended 10y the
people according TO the measure Of
success he attains.
We notice that many newspaper
writer's seem TO take delight in re-
calling the fact that the new chair
man Of the Republican National Com
mittee started working for the com
pany Of which he is now the head, at
a wage Of So a week. That is inter
esting and worth telling TO the young
people Of the country. But it wasn't
the $3-a-week beginning that enabled
him to get to the head Of a large man
ufacturing concern. 1t is a safe bet
that lie never began to watch the
clock an hour before quitting time,
that he didn't leave any Of his own
work for someone else to do, and that
he was always ready to take on a
little more responsibility whenever
the boss picked him out for a bigger
job.

KEEP CALVES IN STANcHIons
Best Practice Where Number Of Young
Animals Are Kept 10 Same Pas
ture Together.

If a number of calves are placed in
the same pasture and are of such
age that milk must be fed. 1t is neces-
sary that a row of stanchlons be pro-
vided in which to tie them while be-
ing fed and for a few minutes after
ward Each calf should be fed sep

are fed from trough. The result is
that the large calves gorge themselves
while the weaker ones do not receive
enough milk. Bulk" feeding is very

Shows Quality and Grades.

To be of practical use to the farmer,
the bulk Of sales quotations must be
considered with the knowledge of what
is being offered for hogs of various
grades and qualities. Studied in this
way the bulk of sales reports are of
material value, for they show the quail
ity and grades that make up the prin-
cipal supply at any market for any
period Bulk quotations also give a
more lucid idea of general trade con-
fltions on those sessions Of the mar
ket when the values from the opening
to the closing vary widely.
The Qualification and Standardized
ton of market reports and classiflca-
tons throughout the whole country is
one of the big tasks on which the bu-
reau of markets, United States De
partment of Agriculture, is working.
When this has been accomplished and
the livestock trade begins to grade its
receipts with reasonable uniformity
the need for bulk of sales quotations
will not be nearly so great as at
present.

The nature Of this new variety, ac-
cordlng to the bulletin, is such as to
Indicate that 1t may have important
possibilities. Proximity its greatest use
for hay will be ms an emergency crop.
When stand of clover has been win
ter killed, or when for any reason a
farmer finds that his hay supply will
be short. this variety can be seeded
during the spring and, provided lime
and the proper bacteria are present,
will yield a good hay crop. Where rain
fall is sufficient 1t may be seeded even
after wheat harvest. II makes a good
growth the first season, and expert
naantS In Iawa and Aiinhiaan have
shown that II may be seeded with
opts, to be harvested after the grain is
cut. 1t grows rapidly, and for this
reason will keep ahead of weeds.
The annual has smaller and more
woody root than the biennial form,
and crown or resting buds are not
formed. The stems. branches, leaves.
flowers, pods and seeds are indistin-
guishable from those of the biennial
form, but during the season of seed

early and ripens seed in August when
seeded early. Seed of the annual form
is still very scarce and high priced
and, since It cannot be distinguished
from seed of the ordinary biennial,
should be purchasd with caution.
