six horse team hitched and after
about thirty minutes work in the
field find that some piece of the
harness or machinery which has just
been hanging breaks under the strain
and the rest of the day is taken up
in making the repair which might
have been used in the field had the
repair been made early. We feel
that we can not emphasize this mat
ter too much. Fix up the farm
machinery before March 18th.
Farm Help Wanted
We have a list of good farmers
who want good farm help to begin
from March 1st ito March 18th. 1t
has been necessary during the past
year to get men from an employ
have secured probably twenty-five
men during the last year through
this agency. We much prefer TO
get positions for our local men. The
wages for single men this year are
still high, although considerably
lower than last year. If you know
of any good responsible farm hands
who want work, we would appreci-
ate their being directed to the farm
bureau Office. We are also very glad
to secure help for any farmers who
will let us know their wants. We
may not be able to secure local men,
but have been very successful in
getting good men from the employ
ment agency. A letter from Mr..
Albert of the Free Employment
Agency at Des Moines states that
farm hand who receives $500 or
| $4,000 a month us securing a salary
equal to that of $4,000 to $110 for
city work and such salaries are not
being paid for day laborers this
year.
Homes Wanted for Boys and Girls
The following letter is self eX-
planatory and we hope its publication
may be the means of securing a
home for some of these needy boys
and girls.

Dear SIR
| am hopeful you will carefully
read this message. 1t is important.
| have a number of boys and girls
around ages twelve TO sixteen who
need good homes and who would
be, | believe, a benefit ito any home.
These boys and girls, especially boys,
would be of increasing value on
farms as they grow older. A num-
Der of them have had quite extern
sive farm experience. However,
some are capable and ought to be
given an education at least through
High School. Others probably not.

HOW TO CAPONIZE
tBy n Kazmeier Poultry Husbandman. A. NJ. College

At this time Of the year cockercls
are not worth much on the market.
In fact at his writing, they have
dropped down 10 only 20 cents per
pound, 20 that one and half
pound broiler will not bring much
more than thirty cents each, which
l. less than they have cost TO pro-
duce. This brings up the problem
what to do with the surplus males
al this time Of the year. The extra
choice individuals may be saved, and
sold for breeding purposes but the
greatest number must be disposed
OF in some satisfactory manner.
We know Of no better way than
to caponize them. By caponizing
them, they will grow about two
months longer, they will grow lit
tie larger, the meat will bring more
per pound. they will make a more
economical gain and may be sold at
a time Of the year when all puotry
meat Is worth more on all markets.
II Is true that at the present time

would recommend a beginner
TO make an incision on each side
removing the organs from the near
err incision. Experts customarily re-
move both from the right SIDE, TAX
ing the lower one first, otherwise
the flow of blood may make Il hard
to locate this one Remove the or
gans by a twisting motion Of the
forceps and not by a straight pull.
All the skill in caponizing comes m
grasping the organs to be removed
without also grasping a blood yes
sci or the surrounding tissue. BE
careful TO remove every particle OF
the organs, because II only a small
piece remains, il will grow and in
stead OF a capon, you will have a
so-called "Slip," which is neither a
capon nor a cockerel and brings no
better price than a cockerel.
Remove all the blood clots feath-
ers, or other foreign matter then
take out the spreaders, allowing the
skin to slip over the incision. IL
the incision has been properly made
the skin will slip over in such a
way that It will entirely cover the
opening. Make sure that no feath-
ers are held fast in the opening side
of the skin. Release the bird, and
Mace in a clean. dry pen, away
from all the other fowls. Supply all
the water they want and for the
next few days, keep them confined,
feeding only soft feed. A few Of
them will bloat during the first
week or two but this is not serious
and can easily be remedied by prick
ing the skin with coarse needle.

BASEBALL

Those renowned American Linen Sup
ply Co.'S, ball tossers from Minneapolis,
suffered humiliating defeat at the hands
of the locals by a score of to 2, in five
inning game.
Due to the fact that this same aggrega-
ton handed the locals a complete shut
out, II to 0, on May 18th the locals were
prepared for a terrible battle. "Cap"
says as soon as it became known to him
that this same team was coming back to
hand his "sluggers" another defeat, he at
once put them on rations of cayenne pep
per and raw meat. The same was de-
voured quite ravenously previous to Satur-
days engagement. The local fans who
came out prepared to root for their fav-
orites, were somewhat surprised to see
"Cap's sluggers'' with bloodshot eyes,
spiked war clubs and fur flying.
The game was delayed somewhat by
several arguments arising from the de-
cisions of the Umps. One was plain
case of an out at first base that the Umps
did not see, another was when the Umps
called a batter out for failing to touch the
bases while running and the last and most
important was on a decision where line
drive went down the right field foul line
which struck on fair ground but bounded
out into foul territory and was stopped by
a spectator. This hit was good for a
home run but the Umps called it "dead
balP' and held the batter on first base.
In reality, as soon as the spectator touched

Mississippi Basin and some of those of
the Great Lakes and Gulf drainages. Here
the mollusk finds an abundance of lime,
as we'll as of food, with the depths of
water, currents, and other conditions ia
vorable to its reproduction and growth.
Many species of mussels appear in the
streams of the Atlantic Coast, but their
shells are either chalky and eroded or else
too small and too thin for commercial use.
Fresh-water mussels of commercial value
have not yet been found in streams on the
Pacific Slope.
Each year Americans use $32,OOO,0O0
worth of buttons, including fresh-water
pearl, ocean pearl, metal, vegetable ivory,
cloth, bone, composition, celluloid and
other specialties; the bulk of them, how
ever, are made from mussel shells. There
are now 200 plants in this country employ
ing shells in the manufacture of buttons
They are located in Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee and Wisconsin.
The capital invested in button factories
aggregates $2O,OOO,0OO. The annual pay
roll of the employees amounts to $S,000,000.
A grand total of S,6+O,OOO,O0O buttons
of all kinds are made in this country each
year which is 80 for each person. There
fore if your tailor or dressmaker does not
put that many on your clothes you will
know that some other person is wearing
a portion of your share.

More than 100000 persons now occupy
prosperous homes in what were American
deserts and produce an annual crop worth
$100OO0,OO0 from lands which a short
time ago returned nothing. The director
of the United States Reclamation Service,
Department of the Interior, says in his
annual report that the progress being made
by these communities equals that of the
most prosperous regions of our country.
During the present year the service is in
position to deliver water to about 100000
acres of irrigable land, covered by crop
census, of which about 100000 acres are
now being irrigated" Mr.. Davis says.
Besides this, storage water is delivered
from permanent reservoirs under special
contracts to about 950,OO0 acres more. The
projects that have been undertaken have
been planned to provide for an area of
about 100000 acres.-Ex.

lowed only three scattered hits, that were
equivalent to only six bases, according to
the Umpire's ruling. Beckett who pitched
the last round for the visitors, got away
with a no hit record, struck out one man,
passed two on balls and issued one wild
pitch.
Bur, who was on the mound for the
locals, got away very nicely for his fifth
victory in row. That is saying a great
deal when one considers the class of
players who he has pitched to. During
that time his teammates have given him
good support. During Saturdays contest
he got into several bad holes but it was
only by super-human endurance that he
came out with flying colors. He allowed
total of five singles and one double that
was equal to seven bases. He allowed no
one to setal base in Saturdays game,
which shows there must be some team
work in existence. He struck out seven
men, passed three on balls, hit one bats
man and made one baK.

 While waiting for her guest to compose herself, Aunt Polly Wood : chuck looked over her spectaclcs at Billy, who fingered near the door.
 "Come here, young man." she said. And though her tone was severe, Billy Woodchuck took heart. He thought he saw twinkle in the old lady s eye. 'I can sec" Aunt Polly told him, that you need an apple" And thereupon she handed him one And Billy Woodchuck declared as soon as he began to cat it that he felt much better.

WEARING A POKE.

The cows never paid much atten- ton to the woodchucks, unless it was to scold them now and then for cat ing too much clover. But living as they did in the pasture, the wood chucks took a great interest in Farm CT Greens herd. Many bit of gos- sip about some COW passed from one woodchuck to another, without the COW herself ever dreaming that folks were talking about her.
 Whenever Billy Woodchuck's moth CT heard any specially interesting news about COW, she was more than likely to put on her best apron and hurry over to make call on Aunt Polly Woodchuck. the famous herb doctor, who lived under the hill.
 Well, one morning while the dew was still on the grass, Billy saw his mother dash into the house, whisk off her old apron and reach for her best one. He knew at once. without asking, exactly where she was going. Nor was he sorry, because Mrs. Woodchuck always stayed long time at Aunt Polly's. And that gave Billy a chance to do a number of things without being told Don't"
