Farm Equipment Essential.

The successful management of a
modern farm largely depends upon
the efficiency of the equipment with
which the work is performed, specia-
lists of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture point out.
The equipment of the average farm
can be divided into about three more
or less distinct classes, as follows:
First and most important, are the
buildings, fences, implements, ma
chinery, wagons, and all appliances
used in the more important farming
operations; second, utensils and ma
chinery used in connection with the
dairy, garden tools, butchering out
fit, and the numerous small things
for general use about the place;
third. the tools and materials for
keeping the first two classes of equip
ment in good working order.
In order to secure the greatest eff
ficiency. all implements and machin-
cry should be properly housed when
not in actual service, so as to be in
good working condition when re-
quired for use.

BEST MAN STOLE BRIDE

New York, Jan. Slow the best
man at a recent wedding stole the
young and bashful wife of his best
friend and held her prisoner for more
than a month ,during which time he
forced her to receive the attentions
of several men. was told today in the
Gate Avenue police court, Brooklyn,
when Robert cerasl. 2S years old. of
Passiac, N. j., was arraigned before
Magistrate Folwell on statutory
charge.
The bride and one of the men al
legged to have called upon her at the
house in which she had been held a
prisoner, also are held under bail.
The discovery OF. the case came
about in an unusual manner. Police
man Harry Nelson of the Vernon Ave-
nue. station, Brooklyn, was patrolling
his post on jefferson Street this
morning when a magazine fell heavily
at his feet. AS it struck the side
walk it opened and a note fell from
it. Picking the note up, the police
man read the following urgent mes
sage:
81 am locked in a room on the sec
ond floor. Please notify the police
Mrs. Michael Salomia."
Rushing upstairs, the policeman
knocked at door A woman's voice
asked him what he wanted and he
told her he was policeman. She re-
piled that she was locked in, and then
the policeman found heavy paddock
on the door He broke down the
door with his night stick and releas-
ed the young woman, who is only IT
years old, and an extremely pretty
French girl.
Hearing the young woman's story,
Policeman Nelson communicated with
the Vernon Avenue Station and Detec-
tive Arthur O'Neil was dispatched to
the Jefferson Street house. The two
of them secreted themselves in an adj
joining room and waited. Soon af-
forwards Cerasi entered the room and
was placed under arrest.

Sanitary Poultry Houses Help Keep
Flock Healthy.

Chickens will not give adequate
returns in eggs or growth when kept
under insanitary conditions, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The construc-
ton of the poultry house should re-
ceive first attention. Sufficient air
space, lighting and ventilation
should be provided, and the entire
house cleaned at frequent intervals.
While these precautions can not
be depended upon to control mites
and lice, they aid the poultryman in
determining when these pests are
present. Furthermore, the fowls are
kept in vigorous condition, which in
itself aids in controlling pests. Dirty
and insanitary houses provide ideal
breeding conditions for insects and
germs which are detrimental to poul-
try. Diseased fowls, or those with
uniformed bills or feet, fall ready
prey to lice, mites and other insect
pests, and should be removed as soon
as discovered.

Distribute Building Costs.

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
10 last for 100 years, or they may
stand only a third of that time. If the
cost of replacement is not charged in
to 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 a method
for distributing these costs over the
period of years in which the equip
nent is in actual use.

In supplying feed to fowls there
are three kinds of constituents which
should be present in certain fairly
well-fixed proportions if the desired
results are to be obtained most econo-
mically. These constituents are min
eral, heterogeneous, and carbonaceous,
all of which are contained in corn,
wheat, oats and barley, but not in
the right proportions to give the
greatest egg yield. In addition some
animal feed and green feed should
be supplied.

FARM DEPARTMENT.

not urgent, specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture say.
AS the season advances, implements
which will be needed for the next
farming operations should be gone
over and given any attention required
to make them ready for immediate
use. II the farm machinery is not
properly housed during periods of
disuse, IL is all the more important
that It should be given a careful over
hauling. After inspecting an imple-
ment, Tightening bolts, strengthening
weak parts, and renewing broken
pieces, the necessary painting should
be done. Frequent applications of
dark metallic paint, consisting either
of red lead or venetian red and raw
linseed oil, not only improve the APP
pearance of farm implements, but add
greatly to their durability.
This is an age when appearances
count, and a farmers standing in the
community frequently is governed
by the appearance of his farm equip
ment. The man who spends his spare
moments in the repair OF fences and
gates and maintaining a neat ap-
pearance of the entire farm has a
better chance of becoming leader
in his community than the man whose
farm has slovenly appearance.

The new film, known as "a. Plant

of which were taken thru a micros-
cone, deal with the organisms that
cause rhubarb blight and result in
heavy loss in UNDERSTANDING sections.

Campaign For Better Sires NOW

The first enrolment in the Better
sires campaign to be received from
the insular possessions has just been
forwarded to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture from Porto
Rico. The enrolment blank was sent
by the director Of the Porto Rico Elk
periment Station, and was from
poultry raiser in Luquillo. The new
member has disposed of 2S head OF
scrub poultry and is now making ar
rangements, thru the department
for the shipment of 2 purebred cocks
and 20 purebred hens.
This enrolment marks the oegln-
ming in the insular possessions OF a
movement which has created much
interest and which has done much
to improve the livestock interests in
the United States. 1t also may open
a new market, the department spe-
cialists say, for export trade in pure
bred stock of all classes.

statesmen and leaders enjoy their
well-earned honors for their unques-
toned success at Paris. To Woodrow
Wilson, the apparent failure. belongs
the undying honor, which win grow
with growing centuries, of having
saved the "little Child that shall lead
them yet" No other statesman but
Wilson could have done it. And he
did it.
The people, the common people of
all lands, did not understand the sig
nifeance of what had happened. They
saw only that hard, unlovely Prussian
peace, and the great Hope died in
their hearts. The great disillusion-
ment took its place. The most recep-
tive mood for a new start the world
had been in for centuries passed away.
Faith in their governors and leaders
was largely destroyed, and the foun-
dations of human government were
shaken in a way which will be felt for
generations. The Paris peace lost an
opportunity as unique as the great
war itself. In destroying the moral
idealism born of the sacrifices of the
war it did almost as much as the war
itself in shattering the structure of
western civilization.
And the odium for all this fell espe-
cially on President Wilson. Round
him the hopes had centered; round him
the disillusion and. despair now gath

him responsible for the bitter disap-
pointment and grievous failure. The

EACH CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY
Published by Request of the State

Board of Health
Is your city organized to combat
venereal diseases?
You will be interested to hear that
the campaign against these diseases,
the enemies of civilization, is to be
continued during peace. Congress has
made an appropriation to be used by
the public health service and the state
boards of health for this work. But
don't think that by sitting back and
waiting your city will be cleaned up

cials alone and made a fit place for
your boys and girls to live in.
Health officials viii assist in every
way possible. Printed matter will be
furnished, advice and aid given in es-
tablishing clinics. But the fighting
of venereal diseases is mainly your
city's own problem. The organization
and patient day-to-day tasks which
are necessary for the stamping out OF
these diseases will have to be done by
your own health officials, your own
community organization. your own
citizens.
Every community has its own par.

had wide experience in reducing vene'

Some of these things can best be done
by states, a few of them can best bt
