O. Why is there trouble in enforc-
ing the decisions of the Railroad La
Dor Board?-R. C. R.
A The Transportation Act of 1920,
as the act is officially designated.
gives the Railroad Labor Board no
power whatever to enforce its de-
cisions Section 313 reads: THE Ia
Dor board. in case it has reason to
believe that any decision of the labor
board or of an adjustment board. Is
violated by any carrier or employee,
or subordinate official. or organization
thereof, may upon its own motion,
after due notice and hearing to all
persons directly interested in such
violation, determine whether in its
opinion such violation has occurred,
and make public its decision in such
manner as it may determine" Neither
party to a case before the board is
required to accept and abide by the
boards decision. Consequently it is
clear that it was never contemplated
by those who framed the law that the
board should enforce its decisions.
There is perhaps a moral or implied
obligation on the part of those who
appeal to the board to accept its rul-
ings, whatever they may be, but those
who disregard this obligation suffer
no penalty otherwise than a possible
adverse public sentiment.
O. When a man is engaged to girl,
does each call the other "fiance"?
A. There are two forms of the word.
Fiance is the masculine and fiancee
the feminine form. They are both
pronounced fee-ahn-say.
O. How much canning and preserv-
ing is done now by housewives ?-E.
c. NJ.
A. There is no survey in general,
but farm housewives last year either
sold or kept for home consumption
1886, 900 containers of jelly, 100000
cans of fruit and vegetables, and u.s.
600 pounds of poultry and meat
canned according TO methods demon
strated by the extension agents of the
department of agriculture and the
state agricultural colleges.
O. Are the rings of Saturn solid or
fluid?-J. B. S.
A. The conclusion has been reach
ed that the ring is triple, consisting
of concentric parts and that 1t is com.
posed of a very large number OF small
satellites. If the ring were solid, some
temporary disturbance would suffice
to disrupt it, nor is it more reason
able to presume that it is liquid.

VALUE OF MANURE REDUCED
at Geneva Station by Adding
Wheat Straw.

Surprising results have been OBJ
tanned by soil and crop experts at
Geneva, New York, in a series Of tests
recently completed, from the use Of
wheat straw with horse manure. When
fresh straw was added to manure and
applied to growing crops, Il pronounced
detrimental effect was noted as COM
pared with crops where fresh manure
was used alone. 1t was further OBJ
served that when straw was added to
the manure, together with some pre-
sentative, a marked loss Of the organic
matter of the manure resulted. The
loss Of organic matter amounted to
SO per cent during an interval Of four
months where peat was added to ma
nure-straw mixture and only 80 per
cent where the peat was added to
manure alone.
The best results appear to follow
the use Of acid phosphate with manure
in the stables. A couple Of handfuls
of the acid phosphate is scattered in
each stall each day AID the animals
are allowed to trample it into the ma
nure. The manure can then be stored
in covered shed, or pit, until 1t can
be spread in the field.

HOGGING DOWN SMALL GRAIN
Three Years Test at Ohio Shows Prac
tce With Rye Is Improbable
With Hogs.

Whether or not it will pay to hog
down small grains will depend upon
circumstances, but probably it will not.
Hogging down rye was found to be an
Improbable practice in pork produc-
ton in three years test ut the Ohio
experiment station. The average daily
gain Of the hogs on rye was less than
one-half of a pound, whereas when
corn and tankage formed the concen-
trates and clover was used for pasture
gains Of more than one pound day
were secured. In addition, it required
4T3 pounds of rye to produce 100
pounds Of pork. The rye would have
returned a greater profit If it had been
sold as cash crop. Even when the
hogs were allowed about one fourth
Of pound of tankage daily in addition
TO the rye, they consumed 634 pounds
Of rye as compared with 226 pounds of
corn for 100 pounds Of pork produced.

EGG PRODUCTION IN WINTER

The pulletS that are expected to be

the sort of ration that will supply
plenty of material for egg production.
Every attention that will tend to slim

If pullets are q little slow in coming
into laying it is sometimes possible to
stimulate them by some changes in the

is cut down by one-half, it will make
the birds hungriec during the day and
they will cOnsune more Of the dry

he does not want to force the birds

forcing too much on the feed may
cause the fowls to be weakened in fer

KEEP PUMPKINS ALL WINTER
Only WeII-RIpened Specimens With
Thick Kinds Should Be Stored
Keep Them Dry.

1t isn't so very difficult to keep
pumpkins, squash, etc, all winter If
they are stored properly. OF course,
only well-rlpened pumpkins or squash,
with thick rinds, and which are well
color"d, should be stored. They should
be gathered carefully before hard
frost. Any that are injured In gath
ering or otherwise should be discard
ed, and only the perfect specimens
retained. Be sure to leave the stems
on all the pumpkins. The ideal stOr-
age place Is a dry room or dry base
ment where the temperature will av-
erage around 60 degrees or above.
Place the pumpkins or squash on
shelves, or at least keep them off of
concrete floors or other places where
there may be too much moisture. Do
not pile them up, but keep the indi-
vidual pumpkins separated from each
other. With such care either pump
kins or squash should keep several
months.

deep litter is the best way to get them
