MAKING MOVIES MOVE
Audiences who see cartoon movies
like "Aesop's Film Fables" often won
der Just how the funny pen and ink
drawings are made to move in life
like action. The animated reel is pro-
duced by photographing one drawing
after another, each succeeding picture
slightly different from the preceding
one, so that when the reel is exposed
and projected at the rate Of about six
teen little pictures per second the
characters assume natural move
ment. It takes about twenty thousand
individual drawings to make single
movie cartoon subject like "The Wolf
in Sleeps Clothing" Paul Terry and
his associate artists at the studios Of
Fables Pictures, Inc, produce these
funny fable films at the rate of one
a week every week in the year. The
reels are distributed to theatres by
Pathe on the same schedule, one new
fable being offered to the public each
week.

| (Prepared by the United States Department of Agrculture.)
 The cost of power on tractor farms | In the winter wheat belt is somewhat greater than when horses are used for all the work. according to the results of a survey by the United States De partment of Agriculture. A prelim- mary report just issued shows, how ever, that three-fourths of the tractor owners were of the opinion that their tractors were proving profitable.
 This survey shows differences in the cost of power and labor due to the use of tractors, the work done with them, and the cost per acre for different op- erations both with horses and tractors. Some 354 tractor owners in northern Oklahoma, Kansas and southern Ne braska were visited and complete record of all work done with tractors and horses during the year was ob- tained, together with statements con- cerning the farmers opinions of the advantages and disadvantages of using tractors. The farms averaged about 800 acres in size, on which 352 acres of crops were grown in 1921, nearly three-fourths of the crop area being in wheat
 The cost of using tractors for draw bar work on these farms averaged $4S4 for the year, or $1.OO per hour. These farmers were keeping an average of S.3 head of work stock in addition to their tractors and the cost per farm of keeping the work stock for the year was $541. Thus the total annual cost of power for drawbar work was $1 ,O25. The tractors furnished the power for 40 per cent of the drawbar work.
 Variations in Cost of Power.
 There were great variations in the practices and costs on individual farms and the results indicate that often the cost of using the tractors and keeping the work stock was excess

BARLEY BEING USED
 FOR FEEDING SWINE
It's Use for Brewing Purposes
 Has Fallen Off.
Department of Agriculture Takes Up Problem of Finding Relative Value of Light and Heavy Grades
 1t Is Cheap Crop.

Barley as a hog feed is coming on the markets in increasing amounts, probably for the reasons that it's use for brewing purposes has fallen off and the hog industry has been moving in to the barley-prOducing districts. The United States Department of Agricul- ture has taken up the problem of find ing out the relative feeding value of light and heavy barley. There are no federal standards for this grain, but light and heavy grades are recognized on the market
 During 1e21, the department made feeding tckEs of the two grades, and the trialk will be repeated. Not enough data are available yet for definite con clusions as to the relative merits of the light and heavy grain, but the re- suits have shown that high-claSS bar ley has feeding value only slightly lower than good shelled corn. When these tests are completed the depart ment will have additional information on the methods of feeding barley, whether or not it should be fed whole, rolled, dry or soaked

MADE WISE CHOICE OF WIFE
John Browns HeIpmate Apparently Ideal Woman for Man of His
 Stern Disposition.

John Brown, whose body later op lay "a-moldering in the grave" once described the lady who afterwards be came his wife as as'remarkably plain but neat, industrious and economical girl" These latter virtues seem to have atoned for her want of physical charm, for he and Dianthe Lusk were, married when she was nineteen and he was only twenty.
 Dianthe was a strong-minded wom- an, but she made John an excellent wife, and their twelve years of mar ried life-terminated by her early death-were most happy. He was g.. man of decided and violent disposi- tion, and his wife is said to have pos sessed the faculty of getting him to do as she wished and causing him to believe that it was his idea all along. She died in 1882, twelve years after their marriage and just after the birtb of their seventh child.

 My liver and kidneys were out of order and I had terrible pains in my back and sides and was so bad off I often had to stay in bed for two weeks at time.
 'The results got from Tanlac were very glad surprise to me. It bene- fted me in every way and I believe the improvement I received will prove lasting and I feel stronger and better than in many a day."

1 been displaced and the value of the | family and hired labor saved.
 Had all the surplus horses been | sold there would have been a further
 reduction of about S115 per farm in | the cost of horse labor. On many of | the farms there had been a reduction of feed for work stock due to the use of the tractor, and If this had been taken into account Q further saving
 of about S47 per farm would have been shown
 The analysis of the cost per acre of power and man labor for different operations when done with tractors and horses gave the following aver ages:
 Flowing spring and fall with
 tractors .....................$1.99 .$1. .99 per acre Flowing spring and fall with

 tors ...................... .s7 per acre Drawing binder with horses. .66 per acre
 Cost of Power on Horse Farms.
 A group of S5 farms where trac- tors were not owned, but comparable in size to those where tractors were used, were surveyed in order to ob- tain a direct comparison between costs on farms where tractors are owned and costs on farms of similar size and type where tractors are not owned. There was an average of 10.5 head of work stock on these farms, of which 1O.1 head were needed for the work. One horse was needed for each 33 crop acres while the tractor owners were keeping one for each 42 crop acres and needed, in addition to their tractors, only one for each 54 crop acres.
 The cost per head of keeping the work stock was S66 per year where tractors were not owned and $64 where they were owned. The horses worked 4S2 hours per head on the | tractor farms and 624 hours on the | other farms. The cost per farm of | tors were not used was S7O1 as con- pared with S1,O25 where both tractors | and horses were used.
 What Farmers Think of Tractors.
 The owners opinions regarding the | use of tractors showed that 75 per | cent of the farmers interviewed be lieved that their tractors would be profitable investments and 72 per cent of them intended to buy others when needed. The principal advantages were the ability to do more work in a given time, and the saving of horses in hot weather. Among the disadvantages, the first cost and de preciation and the running expenses were mentioned most frequently. The tractor was used as the primary e | per cent of the owners, while Al per cent used the tractors as supplement tary to horses. In 21 per cent of the cases the tractor owners believed that the tractors had been responsible for some increased yield per acre.

Tractor Used for Disking.

sive for the amount of work done. Many tractor owners have not deter mined exactly what work they can use their tractors for most profitably and what should be done with horses.
 The average cost per crop acre was S3.57 per year for drawbar power for all the farms. This cost ranged from $2.21 as the average for the fourth of the farms with lowest costs to $4.76 for the fourth of the farms with high est costs.
 The tractors had been in use for B months on an average and the first cost had been S1,473, about one-third higher than the present price of trac- tors of the same size and type. Dur ing the year covered by the inveStiga- ton the cost of fuel and oil was also somewhat higher than at present. On account of these lower prices it is estimated that the present cost of op- erating tractors purchased at current prices would be something like 25 per cent below the 1921 cost on these farms.
 Tractors Reduce Horses and Labor.
 The effect of the addition of the tractor to the farm equipment was shown in changes recorded after the purchase of the tractor. On an aver age these farms had been increased by 50 crop acres and there had been a reduction of 1.4 months in the amount of regular labor used. Three and one-third head of work stock in addition to those on hand at the time of the stigations would have been necessary if the work had all been done with horses The tractor owners considered that they needed in addi- tion to their tractors an average of only 6.5 head whereas they were actu- ally keeping S.3 head.
 Effect of Use of Tractors on Power
 Costs.
 There was a net increase of $2O6 per farm in the combined cost of power and labor due to the use of the tractor, after deducting the cost of keeping the work stock which had
