INCREASED FLOW OF OIL
WELLS OF NORTH FIELD

Improved production methods
have had a pronounced influence
on the production of wells in the
Kevin-Sunburst field recently, ac-
cording to A. M. Sellery Of the Ohio
Oil company.
Cleaning out wells and other
changes on the Ohio wells have
doubled their production, he said.
At the Mid-Northern well on the
Dawson-MerkIe tract, 1852 west,
three-inch tubing was run replace
ing the two-inch tubing, with the
result that the well did $50 barrels
a day for the first two days with
the three-inch pipe, an improve
ment of 80 barrels, which it seems
to hold to.
The Ohio-Baker well, section
1852 west, offset to the north to
the Mid-Northern, is as good a well
as the Mid-Northern, it is reported.
At the Ohio-Sunburst-Ke well,
section 1852 west, offset to the
east to the Gladys BelIe-Kearns,
section 1852 west, with two-inch
tubing, the well is pumping IL bar
rels an hour or 24O barrels a day
without being able to lower the
height of the oil in the hole.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK

horses are idle for one day only, the
amount of grain fed should be ma
terially reduced-approximately one
fourth to one-third less when idle
than when working. Growing and
breeding horses require feeds, such
as oats, bran, alfalfa, clover, etc.
that are rich in ash and muscle
building material.
A.. Feed a variety in the ration.
Horses give best results when fed a
ration composed of a variety of feeds.
s. Regular and moderate exercise
is necessary with breeding, growing
or work horses. Lack of proper ex-
ercise materially increases the prob
lem of feeding.
g.. Water frequently. Work, sad
die and driving horses will not over
drink If watered frequently. The
ideal is to keep pure, fresh water be-
fore horses when in the stables or
on pasture and to water work animals
several times during the day.
Plenty of Salt
Z. Keep salt before the horses at
all times. If horses and colts have
free access to salt, they will eat only
sufficient to satisfy the body needs.
8. If horses are unthrifty and
need a tonic, do not depend upon
prepared stock foods or stock tonics.
They are either too costly or ineffi-
cient. Have the stock examined by
reliable veterinarian and get a
prescription. "Cure-alls'' do not
work satisfactorily.

FOOD AND
WATER FOR HORSE
WHAT RATION is BEST FOR THE
STOCK, AND HOW 1T SHOULD
BE GIVEN THEM
Use Only Sound, Clean Foods and See
that the Animals Get Plenty OF
Clear Water, and You Will be Re
paid Many Times Over for Your
Precautions.

Too many of our horsemen of the
west depend entirely upon the selec-
ton of big breeding animals for the
production of size in their young
stock and overlook the Importance OF
feeding, is the criticism of an author
ity of the department of agriculture.
A brief summary of the principles
and rules governing feeding and wat
ering is as follows:
1. Use only sound clean feeds.
Dusty and moldy feeds are practical
ly sure to give trouble of a serious ma
ture. The heavy losses that have
been experienced in feeding corn en-
silage are due to feeding moldy en-
silage or that which has been ex-
posed for a time during warm wea-
Their and has become heated, due to
further fermentation. The great OBJ
lection to clover hay has been due to
the undesirable results from using
musty and dusty clover. Considerable
loss may be experienced by feeding
any of the grains when moldy or
dusty.
Feed Regularly
2. Feed regularly in kind and
amount. Sudden changes in either
kind or amount of feew are very apt
to cause trouble. When making
changes In rations, make them grad
ually.
8. Feed according to the needs Of
the animal. Idle horses do not re-
quire as much or the same kind of
feed as when at work. When work

NEW WAY TO KILL
LICE ON POULTRY
FLOCK OF 100 CAN BE TREATED
WITH SODIUM FLUORIDE
FOR ABOUT $1.25
One Thorough Treatment Of All the
Fowls Will Destroy Vermin Com
pletely; Action Of this Powder is
Slow, but it Does the Work Surely
if Used Properly.

The most up-to-date method oil
killing poultry lice is to treat the
birds with sodium fluoride. Accord
ing to experts in the department OF
agriculture this is by far the most eff
fective material that can be used and
the cost of treating 100 hens is
placed at the low figure of slips.
Sodium fluoride can be ordered
from any druggist. The commercial
form should be asked for as it is a
fine powder and is cheaper than the
chemically pure crystalline form. 1t
should cost about SO cents a pound.
How to Apply
The powder is applied by what is
known as the .pinch method" An
open vessel containing the powder is
placed on a table and the bird is
held by the legs or wings with one
hand while with the other a small
pinch of the chemical is placed among
the feathers next to the skin about as
follows: One pinch on the head,
on the neck, two on the tail, one on
the breast, one below the vent, one
on each thigh and n scattered on

spread. Each pinch can be distribut-
ed by pushing the thumb and finger
among the feathers as the material
is released.

fowls will completely destroy all lice
present." is the statement of the orr
ginators of this method. 1t is essen
tial to make sure that the treatment
is thorough and that every fowl is

it will in a short time re-infest
the entire flock.
Action Is Slow
The action of sodium fluoride is
comparatively slow; hence if fowls
are examined the day following treat
ment, or even two or three days later,
some lice may be found. The ma
terial persists, however, and after
four or five days all lice disappear.
Apparently the Matching of-the eggs

Watch Shelby Grow!
TULSA OF MONTANA

Will you read the profits of Shelby real estate in your
bank book?
Fortunes were made in Smackover an oil town, which
increased in population from a hamlet of 300 inhabitants
to a city of $4,000 in a year. Shelby should do better.
In addition to the immense oil fields at our door, Toole
County Irrigation will cause a large growth in our city.
The Toole County Irrigation District covers approx
mately 2O7,0 acres tributary to Shelby. The consensus
of opinion is that before the end of 1923, Shelby will
have a population of over 10000. Shelby will be the
Tulsa of Montana. In a few years Tulsa grew from a
town of 200 to a city of approximately 10000 people,
making fortunes for those who had the foresight to buy
real estate. Hundreds of other oil cities have had similar
increases in population. History repeats itself, and now
Shelby is your opportunity. When you buy property in
Shelby, you are not betting on a single well, but you are
investing your money on general average, backed by a
large area of land, and in addition, you have the security
of a large area of land, which when irrigated, will pro-
duce equal with any land within the United States, evil
denced by the large yield of wheat during the years of
1915 and 1916, when the land had sufficient moisture.
We are offering Shelby's choicest residential section
to the city. Our addition is only one and one-half blocks
from our newest and best hotel, five blocks from the
court house. Although our addition has only been on
the market four weeks, there are already started, or
about to be started, $150,000 worth of buildings on the
addition.

GRADE CROSSING ELIMINATION

Elimination of grade crossings is the plan favored by the
federal bureau of public roads to reduce the number of accidents
at highway and railroad intersections. This is good sense and
popularity pleasing will be the announcement that in the con-
struction of federal aid highways, the bureau has adopted the
policy of eliminating grade crossings wherever practicable, If
possible by relocation, otherwise by means of an underpass or
overhead crossing States and counties should adopt the same
rolicy with respect to highways over which they have exclusive
jurisdiction.
A complicated problem is presented by the growth of high
ways used since the automobiles advent. The federal>bureau OF
public roads touches on it in mentioning that traffic on the pub
lie highways has in many places become more important, volume
considered, than that on railroads, notably in the case of branch
lines. It is the official feeling that where this condition exists
railroad trains should be stopped before crossing highways rath-
er than to require, as some states do, that motor vehicles come
to a stand before crossing the tracks. This would require then
an old facility of public service, which has not only established
legal rights but confirmed legal obligations to the public be re-
strieted in favor of greater freedom for the newer device for what
is generally private convenience. Such restriction would be i'm
posed only pending elimination Of the dangerous crossing at grade.
Then arises the question of assessing the cost of safety.
Unless provision be specially made for financing the railroads
share of the expense, progress in this important matter necessarily
would be slow. Yet swift removal of the dangerous condition is
imperative. By whatever means grade crossings are eliminated on
a large scale, payment will have to be made by the public that
will reap the benefits. This phase of the problem should be con-
sidered and a solution found as quickly as possible.

TOWN PRIDE

There is in many towns a conflict between people whose first
thought is to make money, and those whose first thought is to
make an attractive home town. The first named people are con-
stantly seeing chances to make money through some kind of de-
yelopment enterprise. If such promoters lack good taste, they are
apt to cut up real estate in an undesirable way, or erect flmsy
looking dwellings, put up unsuitable business buildings or erect
them in places where they injure the looks of the town. They
RAY sincerely believe their projects help the town grow and are
commendable.
These people are apt to show enterprise, and if they only
had more sense of fitness and taste, they would do a lot of good.
n a town where there is not much pride or community spirit, peo-
pie of that type have things about their own way. They go ahead
with their commercaized projects, and the town grows heller
skelter and may never develop into a real honey kind of place.
But in a city with live community spirit, these money makers
find that it pays to conform to a higher standard. They learn
that the average run of people take pride in their community, and
want it made attractive and beautiful. They realize that unless
their developments are IN keeping with the standards desired,
heir enterprises will get in bad.
They find that if they put up ugly houses, people are slow
to buy or rent them, and if they erect unattractive stores in I'M
suitable places, people may not patronize them. 1t is a pleasure
to be able to say that on the whole, excellent standards of taste
have prevailed in the development of Perth Amboy. As a whole
We have a city to be proud Of, yet there is always room for i'm
progement, and still higher standards.

Britain. Barclays Bank is the big
gest bank in the world. +. G. Good
enough, its chairman, has a tremend-
Gus influence on national policies.
particularly in relation to trade and
laws affecting trade.
The London Joint City and Mid
land Bank, Limited, is the second
bank. The Right Hon. Reginald Nc
Kenna is the Chairman of that In
stitution. He is a member OF the
British Cabinet and for a quarter of
a century has taken a prominent
part in British imperial politics. On
his Board of Directors are such
men as Lord Airedale, Lord Ash
field, Lord Carnock, the famous
British Ambassador to Russia dur
ing the war, Viscount Miner, one
of the signers of the Treaty of YER
lsailles, Viscount Pirrie, the Earl of
Denbigh and others of like prom
linence.
While from an operating point of
view these banks are extremely con-
SENTATIVE, they also are wide awake
to new opportunities and chances
for new business. For instance, the
London Joint City and Midland Bank
has established floating branch banks
on great transatlantic liners for the
accommodation of and to get the bus
mess of the travellers to and from
America. They call these their At
lantic offices. They are located
aboard the steamships Aquitania,
|Berengaria and Mauretania. They
carry on a regular banking business
where deposits are accepted. checks
cashed and loans negotiated. As
each branch is in effect the represen-
tative of the whole system, a man,
If his credit be good, can borrow
$40, 10000 or 800, 100000 in mid
ocean at one of the offices of this
bank aboard ship as readily as he
could borrow it in Threadneedle
Street.
Barclays Bank has 1900 branches
in England and Wales. 1t is affiliated
with the British Linen Bank of
Edinburg and with the Union Bank
of Manchester, as well as with the
Anglo-Egyptian Bank.
In similar fashion the others of
the Big Five extend out over the
whole world. There is scarcely a
seaport or an inland town of i'm
portance which does not have a
branch, an or a CORES
lpondent of one of the Big Five in
London.
The Bureau of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce recently has made
a study of the service these banks
perform in extending British trade
and reports that they are important
aids. Their long-standing arrange
ments with banks on the Continent
and their own well-developed exper-
fence have put them in a position
to help obtain trade for Great Brit
ain. finance it and keep it.
American students of foreign trade
realize that one of the steps which
this country must take before the
full possibilities are realized, is the
extension overseas of banking ar
arrangements somewhat analogous to
those enjoyed by British traders.

SUCCESS

Mr. Emmons has conducted an educational campaign during
the summer, as well as tending to the activities at the organized
nlav centers with the result that he has a larger attendance TINS
than ever before. The supervisor has tried to show the
narents of children here the advantages gained by having their
children play under the watchful eyes of the playground ldlrec'
tors. and at the same time he has shown the great need for more
Fairgrounds in this community. The parents have shown that
they want their children to be secure from the evil and nfIl
ences and unsafe conditions found in the city streets and as the
Fairgrounds afford such protection children are sent there II
large numbers. Now that such a demand has been established
for the recreation centers more and better equipped Fairgrounds
must be financed if the work is to be carried on here IN a way
that will take care of the city's growing population.
The playground instructors have been doing a wonderful
work here. Despite various handicaps they are getting results.
Another year, however, additional centers where children car
be taught to play safely, sanely and fairly should be provided
for, and the present centers should be built up for the same
reason. The playground work here is as important a factor as
any fostered by the city government, more so in many ways
For it deals with the men and women who will carry on the work
of Perth Amboy in the years to come. For that reason due con-
sideration should be given this matter during the coming year.

DO YOU, OR NOT?

OF all the machines he uses, man takes the least care of his
only really valuable machine-his body.
Give the average man a $4,000 auto and he'd polish and
oil and pet and generally guard its welfare as if he had been
entrusted with the destiny of the nation.
An even better illustration is the case Of the radio bug
who works overtime to keep his receiving outfit in good shape.
No amount of effort is too great for the care Of a bit Of
mechanism we admire and in which we take pride.
Compare all this With the care we devote to the. more
valuable and fragile machine, the human body.
Take the case of the stomach. Many a man who wouldn't
think of overlooking his motorcar or putting too much cur
rent on the flament of his radio tubes, does not hesitate to
eulp food without proper chewing, thus throwing on his
machinery.
The auto driver respects his car enough not to make a
practice of overspeeding his engine. How much thought
does he ever give to the matter of overexertlng that extreme
ly delicate engine, his heart?
If we took half as good care of our bodies as we do OF our
autos, radios, watches and the like, most Of us wouldn't
have to worry much about our health. .
We usually are neglectful of ourselves to the point OF
meanness.
You have this evidenced when a radio fan parts with $40
or more for new tubes without feeling any internal ache, but
almost has a stroke at a similar bill from dentist or DOCTOR.
There is no better investment than self-that is, spending
our money to keep the body running smoothly, as 1T deserves,
and also spending to extend our knowledge and experience.
Man when he lived close to nature didn't have to worry
a lot about his health. Nature and hard work kept him IN
GOOD shape. AS civilization takes us increasingly farther
away from the natural way of living, our bodies function less
automatically and require assistance and watching Like any
other kind Of machinery.
The neglected machine wears out prematurely. +
