motOrtrucks on farms are: Pennsyl-
vania, with 1872; New York, with g.
$50; Iowa, with 500; Ohio, with T.
319; Nebraska, with 6,54S; California,
with 6,416; and Illinois, with 6,154.
Three and six-tenths per cent Of the
farms In the country were reported
as having tractors on January 1, 1920.
This is about one farm out of every %.
The 229,3 1884 farms thus represented
had total of 246, 139 tractors.
Telephones were reported on 2,508.-
OO2 farms, or 3S.9 per cent of all farms
In the United States, In 1920. More
than one-half Of the farms in the, fol-
lowing states had telephones: Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana,
Missouri, Ohio, Minnesota, South Da-
kOta, Wisconsin, Vermont, Connecticut,
Massachusetts and Oregon. Iowa, with
1882, showed the largest number.
Farms reporting water piped into the
house in 1920 numbered ga, GSS, or
about one farm out of every 1G. The per
centage was highest in the New Eng
land states and In California. The
states leading in numbers were as fol
lows: California, 65,92S; Pennsyl-
vania, 46, 402; New York, 45,4S7; Ohio,
Al, 531: and Texas, $3.50. Gas or cleo
trio light was reported on 452, 800
farms, or per cent of all farms in the
United States.
These figures, gathered by the BIZ
reau of the census. are being studied
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture in connection with its work
along these lines.

Beer, Not Milk, Caused Chicago Fire

MY husband and I've were newly
weds-were visiting with some friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Kokes. at 140 West
Taylor street, that Sunday. The
Kokes' home was almost opposite Mrs.
OLeary's place, 1871 North De Koven
street. We sat under the trees In the
back yard.
Across the alley we saw six men
who were sitting In the shade behind
the O'Leary house. They were drink
ing beer, smoking and laughing. A
pretty jolly bunch, guess.

me, isn't that party noisy. If some
thing doesn't happen before night

"And something did, That evening
just as my husband and were setting
out for home near by, we saw the
flames. They were gushing from the
hayloft of the O'Leary shed. We ran
back. A south wind swept the fire
across the alley to a barn storing
paint on the Kokes property. Later
the wind shifted 10 the west and the
flames went rioting across the city.
1--WE remembered that some of the
men In that drinking party had gone
into the barn, clambered into the hay
loft and dropped asleep. They had
been smoking pipes, and probably one
OF these. slipping into the hay, was
the real cause of the start of the dis

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
To get good results from a flock OF
poultry during the winter all houses
and coops should be in good condi-
ton, only healthy fowls placed in
these buildings, and good care given
10 the poultry. As 1t takes about two
weeks for hens or pullets TO settle
down to their new quarters they
should be moved early. The moving
should be done before they begin 10
lay, for a shift after egg production
begins may set them back for month
to six weeks. Moving pullets around
from one house TO another Is the best
means of holding back egg production
If they are developing too fast. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture points out that 1t is highly de-
sirable TO bring the pullets in from
the range before they begin to lay.
Prepare Houses for the Winter.
The houses should be thoroughly
cleaned, disinfected, and made tight
for the winter. 1t is much easier TO
do this work while they are empty
than after they are filed with fowls.

to remove the top 3 or 4 inches and
replace this with dry gravel or sand.
