Bugs Busy in Corn.

donia We stopped on 10 see Jonn ZEN
newald, a brother of Ben F~ennewald,
who has a fine 350-acre farm nearly
5 miles north of Martinsburg. He
had some good oats, sowed early in
March that he figures will make 20
bushels. He has 100 acres in corn.
and chinch bugs are busy there, but
Mr.. Fennewald thinks the crop will
turn out right well if they can get
some more rain soon. He is feeding
some heavy steers and two loads of
hogs. There is a fine concrete ice
house on the place and Mrs. Femme
wald says this is a real comfort dur
ing hot weather. Some of his wheat
will go Is bushels, but the average
for that section is not over 10.
i "Near Laddonia we passed the
farm of ]. A. P. Garrett of 100 acres.
He was. formerly a Moniteau county
man. They have a fine glazed tile
silo. Garrett is not feeding much at
this time but will likely enlarge his
operation later.
"At Ladonia we met J. S. Mcclure,
the generalscashier of the Bank ot
Laddonia and the capable assistant
secretary, Miss Ida Lake. McCune
has a 480 acre farm6 miles northwest
of the town and says his corn is bug
less as it is not neal any wheat from
which they could run. He is not
feeding now but expects to take on
some cattle later as the situation
clears. He reports that the financial
condition Of farmers is steadily inn
proving and they are paying of notes
than had been expected.
Successful Sheep Feeders.
Leaving Laddonia and proceeding
eastward for about 4 miles we saw
real optimist in w. C. Schultz, who
was busy in his corn feld. He has .
211 acre farm, about $50 Of which i

sheep, feeding no other class Of stock
He says he fed 1900 western lambs
last winter, marketed them at st

Mi. Schultz has little o. no trouble

200 acres Of corn, soy beans and cane.
Paris Appeal.
The following is BY a writer Of the
st. Louis Live Stock Reporter who
recently made a trip through Aud
rain in a motor car:
Between McCredie and Mexico we
saw a long stretch Of fine fencing and
concrete posts. They were certainly
durable looking as well as snowy.
"Nearg Auxvasse is the 418-acre
farm Of J.W. Pierce, Of which 225
acres are in crops. Near him they
were putting in some cowpeas or
stubble land. Mr.. Pierce was in, St
Louis last week with some $500
steers, S9.75 yearIing and $12.75
lambs. He feeds corn and silage
largely but says many feeders in that
section r losing their interest in
the latter as the cost Of putting it ur
has become almost prohibitiye. He
some times feeds molasses feeds.
Nearing Mexico in AudraiR coun-
ty, the home Of many prominent
stockmen, we. passed the attractive
home Of Irwin Maddox, q former
Galloway man who has more than l.
900 acres of land in crops or pasture
He is grazing a few cattle now but
not finishing any. In average years
Mr.. Maddox feeds as high as 500 cat,
tie and hundreds Of hogs.
Feeders Await Corn Development
"At Mexico we saw R. B. Cauthorn
cashier Of the First National Bank
who said that while feeders have
made some money on live stock the
past six months, they inclined to b
conservative right now owing to the
uncertainty over feed supplies next
fall. Oats are sure to be short and
unless the corr outlook brightens he
feels there is possibility they may
have to ship in much grain to be fed
Leaving Mexico we struck the
farm of Field Bros, on a two mile
drive. This fine 320-acre tract Is
known as Frenchdale Farm and they
specialize in Poland-C China swine AND
running horses. French Field and
his brother Harrison were home and
brought out the stemwinder junior
yearling boar Giant Revelation, a soc
pound beauty of his kind that they
will show at the Missouri State FAN
his fall and if he keeps his condition
he should make folks know he is
there. Their other herd boar is Bus
ter Wonder Bird. They have about
100 head on their place and will hold
a public sale Nov. 8.
They have a fine, well heated, well
ventilated and light hog house and
French Field assured us that it paid
for itself in saving their pig crop dur
ing the cold, wet weather last spring.
He says a party who bought 10 gifts
from them last fall saved Is pigs this
spring and all were narrowed under
cover.

HOLIDAYS IN RUSSIA
GIVE EXCUSE FOR DRINKING

Riga, Nov. BON. Semaskho. tn,
Soviet Commissarof Health, has is
sued plea for the moderation OF
drinking in Russia, particularly am
ong the peasant class, according to
information reaching Riga.
In Russia the real subject for dis
euss1on should be drunkenness" he
says, mot a moderate consumption
OF spirits, as is known in Europe, but
the sporadic drinking of very great
quantities of strong liquor"
The Commissar places the blame
for present conditions partly on ret-
glous customs, which provide the peo-
pie with great number of festivals
as an excuse for drinking, and partly
onthe bourgeoisie, who drive the Door
man to drunkenness, he SAYS. He
does not advocate total abstinence,
but urges the state to adopt modera-
ton measures.
Other information in this same sub
Ject sets forth that the Tomsk gov
ernment has decided to reintroduce,
as a state monopoly, the sale of vod-
ka containing 38 per cent alcohol. The
fight against illicit distilling in Tom-
SIX does noe appear to have been sue
cessful, as the people are in sym pa

GUARD AGAINST
MOSQUITO BITES

Mr.. G. FL. Knight, who lives on
Lake Weir avenue, and who moved
here sometime ago from Connecti-
cut, brought along some very inter
esting literature in the way of copies
of newspapers and periodicals which
were printed years ago,
In his collection are many volumes
of that paper so well known to the
youth of our nation, the "Youth's
Companion" One remarkable rem
edy, or preventive, is as follows:
when mosquitoes. are so trouble
some, a simple recipe to prevent their
presenting the bill may be accept
liable. Take few pounds of rosin, a
little pitch, little glue, and a little
lard, and "bile 'em." Stir and boil un-
til about as thick as ~guava jelly"
Then apply, while good and hot, to
the body. The mosquitoes will fly on
to you and stick, and you can take a
penknife and cut their heads off at
your leisure"

SWEDISH TRAINS TO
HAVE ROLLER BEARINGS

Stockholm, Nov. 3O.-The use in
Sweden of roller bearings for the
wheels of railroad cars, passenger
and freight, has been inaugurated by
the issuance Of definite orders to the
state railways. What promises to be
Ia boom to the railroads and travellers
| the world over, and the possible de-
Evelopment of manufacturing indus
try of large proportions, is foreseen.
The system Of roller bearings as
now perfected is the result of years
Of experiment and research in Sweden
and elsewhere. The solutions of the
problem has been hastened because of
the growing need of finding some wav
to reduce the expense of railroad op-
Grafton. A saving of about Is per
cent in coal, together with reduction
OF personnel and conservation of
equipment, will become feasible by
the installation of roller bearings.
Travellers will benefit because the
elimination of friction means more
smoothness and less noise in the rum
ming of trains. 1t is thought also
that passenger and freight rates nay
be lowered as a result of the new
economy III operation.
The new bearings are barrel-shap-
led and roll freely between the shaft
and the runway, thus being a cross
between ball bearings and the old
fashioned roller bearings. The Swed-
ish company which manufacturers
these bearings reports that the Penn-
sylvania railroad has been making ex-
periments for some time with view
to their adoption.

jealouely guarded, and when, on the
set date, the priests measured out on
the ground the lengths of the shad-
ows, the ceremony was accompanied
by great show.
Today, in Borneo, expert calendar
makers among the Dyaks have secret
measuring poles. They travel over
the country setting up measuring
rods and setting in the ground pegs
at certain distances by the secret reds.
They tell the farmers to plant, cul-
tivate or reap when the poles shad-
ow touches certain pegs in the middle
of the day. At the end of the har-
vest they return and gather the tithes
of the crops which are their fees.
So accurate were the measurements
of the early Egyptian astronomers ac-
cording to the writer, that they were
able to determine to the third deci-
NAL point the exact length of the
year, which they set at 365242 days.
The famous Egyptian Sphinx is
neither monument nor tomb, Mr..
Cotsworth declares, but was designed
and built primarily as another as
Economical instrument by which the
sunrise and setting points Of spring,
summer and winter were fixed. That
measurement was not so accurate as
the observation of the noon day shad-
ow, so was Abandoned in favor of the
latter.
According to Cotsworth's theory,
the early Egyptians were faced with
the need of maintaining and increas-
ing their population to ward off in
vasion by the Assyrians on the north
and the Ethiopians on the south. To
do so they had to increase their food
supplies. AS no more tillable land
was available it was up to them to
increase the yield of their lands by
intensive and careful farming. It
was then necessary to know just ex-
actly when to sow and when to reap,
and such intensive crops couid enty be
developed by locating the Eecise
points in the season,
Precise knowledge depended upon
study of the sun, and as the Egyp-
tains had neither telescope nor sun
glass observation of shadows was de-
veloped. To have better shadows the
pyramid was gradually evolved as a
huge sun dial, and the need was full
filed. Three crops of certain grains
are still harvested in Egypt.
In Central and South America the
Aztecs, Mayas and other early civili-
cations also devised calendars, such as
the Aztec calendar stone now in the
museum at Mexico City Being so
much closer to the equator than the
Egyptians, the latter's form of pyra-
mid observatory was impossible be-
cause an increased angle of slope
would be necessary and this was i'm
possible to build them. Their open
step pyramids, then, We're only capa-
bic of determining the years length
to the 365th day and not the frac-
ton of the 366th.
