COWS NEED WATER
OFTEN IN WINTER

During the winter, when COWS are
stabbed the greater part of the time,
they should be watered two or three
times a day unless arrangements have
been made to keep water before them
at all times. The water should if pos
sible be Is or 20 degrees above freez-
ing, and should be supplied at practic-
ally the same temperature every day.
When water we'll above freezing tenn
perature is stored in tanks and piped
directly to the COW, there is probably
little occasion to warm it. When it
stands in a tax on which ice often
forms, it usually pays to warm it
slightly. This can be done by a tank
heater, by live steam, or by hot water
from a boiler. II a boiler is used for
running a separator or for heating
water to wash and sterilinze utensils,
steam from it can readily and cheaply
be used to warm the drinking water.

VETERANS
BOARD OF APPEAL
Government Bureau Especially
Anxious to Serve Men in
Rural Districts.

Formation of a board of appeals for
World War veteran compensation
cases, taboo of receiving pay from
employers on the part of disabled ex-
service men while given practical re-
Mobilization training and the cutting
of compensation to unemployed vet
Grams who have been rehabilitated are
three new owe made by the United
States Veterans Bureau of interest to
war vets in Washington, Idaho and
Oregon.
The new board of appeals vas form
ed at Seattle to review grievances of
disabled veterans relative to their
government compensation awards or
vocational training privileges. APP
| peals may be made by mail from any
part of the Pacific Northwest dis
trict. Captain E. F. Hull is chairman
of the new board.
1--WE are particularly anxious to
have ex-service men of the rural dis
tricts of the Pacific Northwest take
advantage of the governments bu-
| reau,' declared L. c.. Joseph, a
| ager of the Northwest district. 1.-THE
insurance, disability compensation, re
Mobilization and hospitization work for
World War veterans are now consolid-
ated."
About 300 men in various parts of
| Washington, Idaho and Oregon are
affected by the new ruling which
cuts the vocational training pay of
veterans who have completed their
rehabilitation course and are now I'M
employed, to the ordinary disability
compensation. This mean that the
pay of these ex-service men will be
reduced an average of $50 to SIS.
Another new ruling states that a
veteran who receives pay from en-
ployers while in vocational training
under private contract will have their
government pay reduced that much.
For instance, a veteran at present re-
ceiving 500 from the government and
$40 from his employer will be reduced
to a pay of $50 from the government.
The Bureau is ~endeavoring to dis
courage acceptance of pay from en-
ployers of vocational training stu
dents, believing that it detrimental
to the efficiency of the training course.
An increase approximating 100 per
cent in the number of compensation
claims since the consolidation OF the
departments, is reported. This in
crease is due largely to three clean
up" squads now working in Idaho,
Washington and Oregon.
There are 10000 current claims for
compensation and vocational training
in the Northwest district h~eadquar-
ters in Seattle now. A total of 2,947
former service men are now being
trained in various trades and profess
sions. A total of 466 veterans have
been rehabilitated. An increase IN
application for vocational training is
believed due to shortage OF employ
ment.
With s45. 0O0, 900 of government in
surance held by World VA veterans
in this district, Washington ranks first
among the 4S states in the number OF
e~x-service men insured by the govern
ment in proportion to the number OF
enlisted men from the state. A total
of 81. ESQ, 900 insurance has been re-
instated in Washington during the last
six weeks.
Announcement is made that war
risk claims must be reinstated De-
fore December 81 of this year. All
claims will be handled at the Seattle
district office hereafter.

An Unbiased Counselor.

1t is a counselor whose advice is alb
solutely unbiased. Its judgment is
not only in black and white, but in
connection with the report is a col
ored soil map. This consists of a
base, showing the salient natural fea-
lures of the area surveyed, and the
towns, houses, roads, railways, and
other artificial features. The various
areas of the different types of soil are
outlined and colored.
Ordinarily the survey covers a sim
gle county. A surveying party. con-
sisting usually of two men, visits
every part of the chosen area, tracing
and locating the soil boundaries, TAX
ing samples of the soil and of the sub
soil to a depth of 8 feet in the west
and to 6 feet in the far west. They
identify the various types of soil, so
far as may be done from field exam
nation. The work is revised by in
spectors, who visit the rea from
time to time, and is finally passed
upon by a committee, who make GER
tain that each soil is properly named.
There are in the United States 3,043
counties. Detailed surveys have been
completed thus far in 926 counties-in
thS count have been included a few
areas, each covering only a part OF a
county or parts of several counties.
The total extent of these surveys, 547,-
1888 square miles, is equal to the com
bined areas of Great Britain, France,
and the German Empire before the
war. In addition to the area surveyed
in detail, about an equal extent OF
country has been covered by recon
noissance maps, the two together rep
resenting one-third the area OF CONT
mental United States, and very much
more than one-third of the arabic lands
of the nation. Before buying a farm
it would be well to inquire of the de-
partment whether or not it had made
a survey of the locality. If so, and
the report has been published, it may
he had for the asking.
It may be that in deciding to buy a
farm a definite type of agriculture has
been determined upon. Some ques-
tions will arise. Where can land best
suited to that type be found? Upon
what soils can fruit growing be safely
and profitably undertaken, or the rails
ing of hogs with alfalfa pasture as a
feature in their management be en-
gagged in?
The basis for the valuation OF farm
land and the foundation of the wealth
Of agricultural communities is the pro
du~ctiveness of the soil. 1t is therefore
not surprising that concerns interested
in the placing of farm loans, l the
handling of rural mortgage securities
or in the financing of industrial enter
nrises depending upon the soil for
their raw materials should find IN the
-;nformation afforded by the soil sur
vev publications a valuable aid to their
business.

STORING FRUITS
And VEGETABLES
Proper Storage Will Save Much
Loss From Decay of Farm
Produce.
By ]. L. stahl, Horticulturist.

The commercial grower of fruits or
vegetables usually has storage build
ings or rooms suitable for holding his
crops during winter. The home gar
dener and fruit grower seldom has
specially built storage buildings and
must depend on a cool cellar, a large
pantry, or a corner of the woodshed
for keeping his winter supply OF fruits
and vegetables.
Even with quite crude storage facill-
ties satisfactory results can be Sc
cured if care is used in selecting the
specimens and maintaining moisture
conditions and ventilation. Both fruits
and vegetables for storage should be
in prime condition. They should De
firm and free from rots or bruises. 1t
does not pay to store culls.
Rots and molds are small parasitic
plants which develop readily in moist,
warm, poorly ventilated conditions.
They usually enter the fruit or vege-
table through injured spots or bruises
of the skin.
Fruits most often tsored are apples
and pears. They are best kept in
boxes or trays where they are pro-
tected from bruising. A rather moist
atmosphere keeps the fruit from shriv-
cling. These fruits keep best in tenn
peratures between 33 and SO degrees
T., but with common storage it is not
possible to maintain exact tempera-
lures. Wrapping individual fruits
with paper will keep rots and molds
from spreading rapidly from one fruit
to another.
Storing Vegetables.
vegetables most commonly stored
are potatoes, onions, beets, carrots,
.urnlps, parsnips, pumpkins, squash,
norseradish, cabbage and sometimes
oeiery. Potatoes need moist, cool, well
'entllated conditions. For best table
qualty they must be kept dark. These
oonaltions can usually be met in a
- cellar, cave or well built pit. The

There may be recorded an amusing
diversion from the serious business In

door Of the room. He opened II and
took his hand from the knob to shake

ward his llstlessly, as though 1t had

her hand. threw both arms up against
the doorjamb, dropped her curly head
upon them, and burst into tears.
Mr.. Randolph's platinum-headed
cane fell with a clatter; his gloves
huttered to the floor, and his new top
hat, emitting a clucklng, mirthful
sound, hurtled across the room. In
less time than 1t has taken to de-
scribe these simultaneous events, he
had seized the sobbing girl in his arms
and was babbling as follows:
"Ailss INSTRUMENTATION, you

He stopped gradually, picked her up,
and made for the couch. Just before
he got there, he reached small
