Vanity
American women and girls spend

on bathroom equipment. So claims
Colonel W. G. Archer, plumbing en-

Nevertheless, It is money well

beautifiers-to-attract than to crafty

DIGESTION

OANNIA1lLOEN
A positive working program of
health includes, as it's chief aim, a
normal cell-nourishing blood stream
as the result of proper vitamines and
food content that make for perfect
digestion.
Indigestion is often the result of
bolted food. Food Improperly
cooked will cause gas in the stom-
ach, bloating and belching. III
same diet continually month after
month is another cause. Poisons in
improper food, coffee, tobacco and
lack of exercise resulting in consti-
patton also induce chronic cases of
indigestion.
The teeth, stomach , small and
large intestines must all do their part
to insure a perfect digestion and
healthful elimination. Brush the
teeth carefully night and morning
and after each meal IL possible. One
hardly realizes the Importance of
good teeth until they are lost.
A thorough chewing of food holds
II in the mouth until mixed with
saliva, the first of the digestive
fluids. For good stomach digestion,
regularity in taking meals is best.
Don't ever eat all you want. Eating
whenever you are hungry, means
overwork for the stomach.
Vegetables and fruits are rich In
the juices and acids that aid diges-
tion. Good stomach digestion aids
the small intestinal digestion to a
large degree. The large intestines
must be kept free and open, after the
remaining nutriment of the food
mass has been absorbed. To aid this

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. Were southern slave owners
allowed to free their slaves without
assuming any responsibility for
them? w. w. c.
A. Many of the southern states
placed restrictions on the manumis-
sion OF slaves which by 1860 had in
creased the number OF free negroes
to one-sixteenth of the total number.
One restriction practically common
to all states was that the master
must give bond that the freed slave
should not become a public charge.
A second restriction very common
obliged the master to remove the
freed slave from the commonwealth
in which he was freed. Liberia was
acquired by the American Colonial
ton Society for the purpose of pro-
viding a settlement for manumitted
slaves. The first colony was sent
out on 1.-THE Elizabeth" 1921. Dur
ing the next twenty-five years $500
freed slaves were sent out.
@. What is the age and height of
Harold Lloyd? @. j.
A, He is thirty years old, 5 feet
9 inches tall, and weighs $50 pounds.
@. How is steel made that will
not be affected by perspiration or
ordinary acids? J.. H. q.
A. Stainless Steel' is a high
chromium steel containing certain
percentages of tungsten and nickle.
1t is not affected by perspiration or
any weak acids.
@. Does the hooking bird mi
CRATE, or why does it's singing cease
about the middle OF the summer? B.
w. NJ.
A. The Department of Agriculture
says the hooking bird as a rule is
not migratory. 1t Is true that only
the male is a singer, and perhaps the
reason he ceases his singing Is be-
cause of the moulting season which
begins the middle of the summer.
These birds usually live to be about
eight. years of age.
@. How long has the Roosevelt
family been in this country? A. j.

CORN YIELD HIGH
ON DRAINED LAND
Does drainage pay9

Does drainage pay2
If you were getting IS to 20 tons OF
silage corn to the acre would you con-
slider that it paid? George Hutton,
who superintends the experimental
farms at the Wisconsin College of Ag-
riculture, reports a yield Of from Is to
20 tons to the acre from reclaimed
marsh land.
About ten years ago the College Of
Agriculture took over tract of peat
marsh land very much like the type
which is commonly found in southern
wisconsin. A simple dixie was built
to keep off surface water coming down
from the surrounding hills. An auto
matte pump was installed on the land
most of which is at least foot below
the level of the adjoining lake, sep
arated from it by built roadway.
The cost of carrying off the excess
water from this land varies from
$40 to $12 per acre per year. Many
garden crops are also grown on this
tract but for the most part it is de-
voted to producing corn which has
averaged IS tons to the acre down
through the years.

Damp Quarters Cause of
Roup and Other Diseases

Damp, dark quarters often are one
of the main causes of lack of thrift
disease and loss among fowls on the
average farm. Filth and dampness
cause 90 per cent of the colds roup
and most of the other diseases that
ravage the farm flock. Goodness Is
not nearly so destructive as dampness,
for dampness seems to work through
the feathers of the fowls and produces
a creepy, chilly sensation that is not
at all pleasant. Fowls can stand plen-
ty of fresh air and ventilation so long
as it is a dry cold.
To prevent the conditions outlined
above, if you have an earth floor IN
the henhouse, fill in the entire floor at
least six inches above the level of the
ground on the outside Of house. It
there are any cracks In the walls or
roof through which the wind and rain
can blow, close them up at once.
The saddest part Of all the destruc-
ton caused by drafts and. dampness
is that such conditions can almost al
ways be easily remeGed.

Keeping Extra Team in
Slack Seasons Is Costly

Did you ever stop to figure out just
how much it was costing you to keep
an extra team on hand in slack sea-
sons, or to have them eating off the
farm when they were idle during the
winter months. The cost of keeping
a horse one year in 1921 averaged
about 500, according to figures made
up by the Department of Agriculture.
Feed and bedding made up about 60
per cent Of this figure, not forgetting
to figure what the pasture was worth
that the horses used.
With this in mind, 1t is not only
easier to see that farmer can estl-
mate pretty closely whether it is worth
something to keep an extra team that
is idle most of the time, or to raise
colts and dispose of the older horses
every year or two. There are good
many progressive farmers who have
found that it pays to raise a couple OF
colts each year, to make the mare pay
a little of her cost back. Then they
are in position to sell off an extra
horse or two if they find there is no
real need for keeping him during the
slack season.

Mineral Mixture Helps
LAYING Hens or Chicks

A mixture of salt, lime, and bone
meal added to soy-bean meal or other
vegetable protein nearly doubled its
value in the feed for laying hens or
growing chicks, in recent tests at the
Ohio experiment station.
These minerals, though making up
only 4 per cent of the mash and cost
ing less than cents a year per hen,
proved as necessary as any other part
of the feed.
Grains and seeds are deficient in
protein and minerals. These are sup
Piled by the addition of meat scrap,
skim milk or other animal supplement
to the feed of grain and mash. Soy
bean meal, peanut meal, cottonseed
meal, and the like supply protein but
are deficient in minerals.
When the mineral mixture was add
ed to soy-bean meal at the rate of four
pounds per hundred its value was
doubled, making it almost equal to
meat scrap or milk for egg produc-
ton and growth.
The station mineral mixture is made
up Of go parts of bone meal, 20 CT
limestone and 20 of common salt.

CAN NOW DETECT
FEED ADULTERANTS

A new method which protects farm
ers in the state against adulterated
oil meal has been perfected by w. FL.
Strowd and B. w. Greim of the state
department of agriculture. Officials
of the LATED States Department of
Agriculture have accepted the new
test as a basis for instituting suits
against companies which fail to have
their product meet the requirements
of the statutes.
According to Strowd the meal sold
by two of the seven companies which
were doing business in this state was
below standard. However, since this
new method of detecting adulteration
has come into use, these two companies
have ceased to adulterate the meal
which they put on the market in this
state.
Screenings are most commonly used
as an adulterant. According to Strowd
this practice of adulterating the oil
meal has defrauded the users in the
state of from five to seven dollars on
every ton purchased.

/ POULTRY.

Wheat Given Important
Place as Poultry Feed

prepared by the United States Departments
of Agriculture.)
With the price of wheat in several
states lower than, or about equal to,
the price of corn, poultry specialists
in the United States Department of
Agriculture point out the desirability
of giving wheat an important place
in poultry rations. The influence OF
wartime conservation of wheat is still
evident, according to specialists of the
department, but there are no longer
any economic reasons for conserving
wheat or using it solely as a human
food. On the other hand, it is so plen-
tiful and cheap in many localities that
it is a more economical live stock and
poultry feed than corn.
Corn and wheat are the two best
grains for poultry and are about equal
in value for this purpose, although
wheat can be fed alone better than
corn, which is inclined to be fattening.
Best results are obtained when wheat
and corn are combined about equally
in egg-laying rations Following is a
good scratch mixture: pound cracked
corn, pound wheat, pound oats.
While wheat is an excellent feed for
dairy cows and meat animals, it needs
to be ground for best results with such
stock, whereas poultry relish it and
utilize it as whole grain.
The department points out also that
wheat at 80 cents per bushel, which
was the approximate current price re-
Gently in seven Middle Western states,
is $29.66 per ton. which is a lower
price than prevails for various other
feeds having no greater nutritive
value. The departments recommends
lions for putting wheat back on a pre-
war basis as a stock feed are rein
forced by action already taken by some
farmers. A cooperative association of
Michigan farmers recently published
list of feeds for which wheat could be
more economically substituted. This
association contends that the local
wheat market was below the cost OF
production and that local wheat would
bring more when fed to live stock than
when sold on the open market.

ing. Each of these classes again is
graded according to conformation,
soundness, quality, condition, and ac-
ton, and classified as choice, good,
medium, common, or inferior.
Form and Appearance.
The general form and appearance of
the mule should resemble closely that
of a horse, and in judging mules the
same general points of perfection are
to be looked for. The nearer the mule
approaches the ideal desired in draft
horse the more valuable he is from a
market standpoint, department spe-
cialists state. The form Of the mule
should be compact, with a deep body,
broad chest, full TANKS, short back,
and well-sprung ribs, similar to the
pair shown in the illustration. The
loins should be broad, short, and thick
ly muscled; the Group long and level ;
the hips long, level, and muscular /;
the thighs thick, long, and well mus
cled; and the hind legs well set, with
broad, clean-cut hooks and fiat, dense
bone. The mule should stand on good
feet that are well shaped. While style
and action may not be so important in
mule as they are in the lighter breeds
of horses, these qualities add mate
rally to its value A smart, alert mule
with a long, free stride at the walk
and a snappy, balanced trot is highly
desired.

Corn Costs S25 an Acre.

In 1922 the average. cost Of produc-
ing corn on more than 5000 American
farms was &c cents per bushel, accord
ing to Investigators working under Fl.
G. Taylor, chief Of the bureau of agri-
cultural economics in the United

They found that the average cost of
producing an acre Of corn was $500.
The work of preparing the seed bed,
planting, cultivating, harvesting and
marketing amounting to 30 per cent of
the average total cost. Fertilizers
made up 10 per cent; seed 2 per cent !;
land rent % per cent and such mis-
cellaneous items as Irvine, wear and
tear on machinery and storage, crop
insurance, ETC., Z per cent. They also
found that the average value of corn
sold in 1922 was 70 cents per bushel
leaving a margin of Z cents per bushel
or S2.43 per acre after charging for
all expenses, including unpaid labor
and use of land.

TENANTS PREFER
ONE-GROP FARMING


Less farm tenancy is found in Wis
consin than in any of the neighboring
states. This gratifying condition was
brought to light in recent survey
conducted by the Wisconsin College Of
Agriculture. For the state as a whole
the amount of tenancy is about IA per
cent, a very large part of which is
found in southern and eastern coun-
ties
According to B. H. Hibbard of the
college staff the percentage Of tenants
in state is dependent to some ex-
tent upon the type of agriculture
practfced there. In states where one
crop farming is in vogue the per cent
of tenancy is much larger than it is
in states with more stable agricul-
tural industry.
In survey of several typical Bad
ger counties it was found that about
46 per cent Of the tenants were rela-
tives of the landlord The survey
showed further that in Wisconsin ten
ancy was in most cases merely a step
toward ultimate land ownership.

Best Depth for Flowing
Will Vary With Seasons

Commenting on an article regarding
deep versus shallow blowing which
appeared in recent issue of Season
able Hints From the Dominion Exper-
mental Farms, Ottawa, Canada, Prof.
Alvin Kezer, chief agronomist, Colora-
do Agricultural college, said:
1.-THE truth of the matter is that
there is no one depth, shallow or deep,
that is the best depth to pillow. The
best depth will vary with the time the
blowing is done, the soil, crop to be
grown, the length Of the season where
the crop is to be put in or where the
blowing is done. l can illustrate this
last point by quoting the Canadian ex-
perience again. They found that any
thing over the four-inch blowing in the
Peace River country delays the wheat
crop so that it is often attacked by
frost, while the shallow blowing ena-
bles the harvest to get out of the way
before frost. There is no one right
depth, deep or shallow"
