scarcity Of money and a few other
things along rather pessimistic lines.
but let us look around us a bit and see
how many Of us are still on the job and
how much we really have to be thank
full for, and start into the New Year

Well be here, of course. to continue
serving our patrons with the groceries
that will be necessary to keep the table

ness. To determine which is the NOR,
profitable it is necessary to consider
many facts, among which are the
power requirements of the farm, the
size of the power units required, tho
quality of work to be accomplished
the displacement of one form of pOwe:
by the application of another the total
possible utilization of each form OF
power, the comparative cost of opera
tionswith the different forms of power
the relation between the kind of power
and the effectiveness of farm labor
and the effect upon the profits of tho
farm as a whole.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has made a study OF
power units on a number of represent
ative farms with a view to showing
how the various farm operations Gre
ate demands for different-sized power
units, and to what extent power re
quirements are influenced by the type
of farming. The results of this study
summarized in a publication entitled
''The Horse Power Problem on the
Farm" will be found of value to tn,
farmer who is contemplating a chang,
in the form of power used on his farm

Corn Mullins

2 cups grated fresh corn.
,11s cups milks.
2 eggs.
cups flour.
8 teaspoons baking powder.
u teaspoon salt.
Dash white pepper.
1 teaspoon bacon drippings or melt
ed butter.
+. To the corn add the milk and we'll
beaten eggs; sift the -four, baking
powder, salt and pepper; add Aild mix
well. Heat the muffin pans and brush
with drippings or butter. Put in corn
mixture and place in hot oven 20 to
25 minutes.
Don't make the mistake of waiting
until the ears are too old. Of course,
they should not be too young, either,
but there is a happy medium which
provides mOrseI of goodness, a feast
beyond comparison.
To be at it's best, green corn should
be eaten as soon as possible after be-
ing picked. Even when kept a day it
loses some of its flavor, and after that
it cannot be compared to the fresh
picked article.

CHOICE OF SOURCES

Should Farmer Substitute TraC-

Reliable Information Is Necessary Be-
fore Questions Can Be Accurately
Answered-Suggestions
Made in Bulletin.

With the introduction of practical
types of mechanical power on farms
the farmer must face the question of
whether he should substitute the trac-
tor for some of his horses. If he de-
cides to introduce the tractor he must
determine what combination of horse
and mechanical power will be the most
profitable on his particular farm. To
answer these questions accurately re-
Quires reliable information as to ali
the facts involved.
The choice of sources of farm power
depends upon their relative profitable

HOME BREWERS ALLOWANCE OF
200 GALLONS is ONLY FOR
NON-INTOXICATING
BEVERAGES

Westinghouse end all confusion
as to what kind of liquor could be
brewed at home, the Internal Revenue
Bureau issued a statement recently
1t was inspired largely by the reports
/ that the law permitted the manufac-
ture in any home of 200 gallons OF
wine a year. The bureaus statement
reads:
Notwithstanding fruit juice can be
made in the home. Intoxicating wine,
home brew and distilled spirits may
not be made. Two hundred gallons of
notwithstanding fruit juice may be
manufactured tax free by the head of
a family by registering with the Col
lector of Internal Revenue. This tax
exemption provision has been the
source of confusion. The effect of this
is not to allow the manufacture of
200 gallons of intoxicating wine free
from the restrictions of the National
Prohibition act, but merely to allow
the manufacture of 200 gallons of non
intoxicating fruit juices free of tax.
Under the revenue act of 1918
fruit juices, other than apple cider,
containing one-half of 1 per cent or
more of alcohol by volume are taxed
as wine. The same act eXempts from
tax 200 gallons of wine per annum,
manufactured by the head of family,
provided he registers with the Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue for the dis
trict in the manner indicated by
Treasury decion 2765, but no exemp-
tion from tax is allowed unless the
producer is so registered with the Col
lectOr of Internal Revenue, and per-
nit is not issued by this office or any
officer of the Government for the pur-
pose, none being required.
"It is apparently this tax-exempt-
ing provision which has been the prin-
cipal source of the confusion which
has arisen. It has seemingly been
supposed that the effect of the prOvis-
ion is to allow the production of 200
gallons of intoxicating wine for use
in the home, free from the restric-
tions imposed by the National PrOhib-
ition act. The provision has no such
effect. It relates to taxation solely,
and does not affect the restrictions
imposed by the National Prohibition
act.
Under the provisions of the latter
act the 200 gallons Of fruit juice |
which may be produced without pay
ment of tax, must, like any further
quantity produced for home use with
out permit, be mountaineering |
There is no legislative provision any
where for manufacturing either intoxA
icating wine, cereal beverages, So
called home brew, or distilled spirits
in the home, or elsewhere, for beveE-
age purposes"

WIRE HAIR NETS

In this motoring age women could
hardly get along without hair nets to
keep their tresses in proper and COM
pact shape.
These invisible" nets are a great
comfort and convenience. Most of
them are made in China or else of
hair that comes from that country.
One would rather prefer that they
should come from somewhere else.
But really it isn't necessary that such
nets be made of hair at all. A New
Yorker has newly patented hair nets
of metal wire so fine and Of mesh so
close as to have a hairlike appear
ance and an equal invisibility. ~---

GROW SUNFLOWER FOR FEED
Practice Encouraged by North Dakota
Agricultural College-Good Yields
Are Reported.

A demonstration plot of sunflOwers
near Carson, Grant county, North Da-
kOta, yielded IS tons of fodder TO the
acre, while an adjoining field of corn
yielded only three tons, according to
r. G. Newcomer, agricultural agent in
that county. Growing of sunflOwers
for fodder has been generally encOur-
aged in the state by the extension di-
vision at the agricultural college, and
many good reports of yields are COM

WAYS OF DISTRIBUTION

ITO teach the farmer the best

tion is exceedingly important,
but not more vitally so than the
Importance of teaching him the

enough to teach him how to grow
