WHEN PARENTS BEGIN
TO WONDER

McCutcheon in his mastery car
toons on the Chicago Tribune's front
page often writes an editorial that
has power than any lengthy
argument, however well written,
might convey. Last Sunday it was
the picture Of a father and mother
sitting reading in their well furnish
ed living room. Each has a cigar
or cigarette stand by his or her side,
and from that beside the mother the
smoke is pictured as rising, the in
ference being, Of course, that she
is smoking. She is reading a copy
of BLACK Oxen" He Is reading a
newspaper whose flash line bears the
words. BLACK Sheep" On the book
case is a large framed picture of
the son of the family, and standing
near by is a large hall clock whose
hands indicate that the hour is half
past ten. The following short con-
v%ersation appears under the drawing

CAR SALELS GOOD

Despite the myth about mid-sum-
mer slumps, the sale OF Hudson and
Essex motor cars has gone ahead
with spectacular success since the
bringing out of the new balloon
tired models, according to E. Sundin
Hudson-Essex dealer.
THE cushioning effect of the tires
from rough spots In the road. and
the protection which the coaches
give from dust and summer showers
account for this demand" he con-
tinued. 1.-THE combination of closed
car comforts at an open car price
and the amazing ease of riding which
the new tires have brought about
constitute a buying appeal which the
public really welcomes.
This summer season has been
one of the most consistent and sue
cessful periods we have had over a
long period of time. 1t simply goes
to show that the public wants to
buy, and will buy, whenever pro-
duct and prices are right. The idea

dent Of the American Bar association

American ideals and explaining con-

could be expected to take in European
affairs.
The dominant note of the secretary's
address was that Americas devotion to

upon, rs well as Americas purpose to
cooperate with Great Britain and
others in every way congenial with
American Institutions in the interest
of peace.
For the economic rehabilitation of
Europe dependence could be put on

Fight Against Bindweed

Despite the fact that land infested
with bindweed Is often abandoned be-
cause the owner believes 1t impossible
to exterminate. William Dietz. Sumner
county (Kan.) farmer. has entirely
rid his farm Of this weed. Mr.. Dietz
used three methods OF determination.
On the smaller patches he applied salt
at the rate Of about one pound to the
square foot. Mr.. Dietz does not rec
ommend such a method, however. Al
though he applied the salt ten years
ago. he has not yet produced a crop
on the land so treated. Two or three
acre patches of bindweed he success
fully exterminated In about three
years by placing hogs on the patch.
A 20-acre field was rid Of the pest
by the intensive cultivation method.
He plowed the patches early In the
spring and then went over them from
three to four times a month through
out the remainder Of the summer.

Poison Gophers to Save
Various Big Money Crops

Any time Is gopher killing time, &C.

specialist Of the Kansas Agricultural
college. Encouraging reports are COM
ing In from communities that have
used poisoned oats. Many farmers re-
port 100 per cent eradication from one
treatment. Mr.. Oman urges dilligent
use Of the poison method to save po-
tato crops. A few quarts of poisoned
oats or Of treated carrots will protect
a large field. Gophers working in al
falfa fields ear be effectively poisoned
after the first hay crop Is removed.
The zoology department Of the col
lege filled orders for $50 quarts Of pol
soned oats. five ounces Of strychnine
and 100 pounds Of cyanide flakes dur
Ing the week Of May 10 to "a.
The nve ounces Of strychnine would

Age of Fowl Determined
by Many Characteristic.

The age Of a low can generally be
told by the size of the spurs, but this
rule does not always hold good. To
some extent the texture Of the leg Is
a guide to age. and SO are the dell
cacy and freshness Of the skin of the
face and comb. The skin OF the body
Is a better test, as 1t becomes coarser
and dry-looking with age. Formerly
the w~tng-feathers were considered an
absolute test between a pullet and a
hen, even after the long practice of
early breeding had made the molting
Of early pullets quite common. An
Australian authority says that a pull

hairs growing there. After a year old
these hairs and the veins disappear.

Much Milk Lost
During Summer
Best Plan Is to Reduce Bac-
terial Count by Carefully
Cleaning Cows Body.

The quantity Of milk spoiled through
souring during the summer can be
reduced by the simple precaution Of
having the cows clean at milking time.
advises f. G. Button, professor Of dali
ry industry, New Jersey state college
of agriculture.
The mud, manure, scurf and loose
hairs that accumulate on the cows
body all carry a considerable number
of bacteria. A single gram (about
1928 ounce) Of fresh COW manure has
been found to contain 49,OOO.OOO bac-
terra. Since this material often con-
stitutes u large proportion of the filth
on a cows body the Importance Of
cleaning the animal can readily be
seen.
Experiments with dirty cows have
ders will reduce the bacterial count
from $4,000 to about 1000 per cubic
centimeter. When cows are cleaned
In addition to having their teats and
udders washed, the bacterial count
may be reduced to 1000. This assumes
that the utensils In both cases are
clean and sterile.
Boards of health are becoming strict
er in their requirements Of what con-
stitutes clean milk. For the protec-
tlon of the public they demand that
bacterial counts be kept within rea-
sonable limits. This. besides the fact
that clean milk does not sour as quick
ly as ba~cteria-laden milk, makes 1t a
point of good business for the dairy
man to thoroughly groom his cows.
Clipping long hairs from the belly.
udder and TANKS facilitates proper
cleaning. Grooming Is best done an
hour or SO before milking. as this will
leave time for the dust to settle.
The best results can be secured only
when udder and teats are washed or
wiped with a clean, damp cloth, just
previous to milking. When udders and
teats are soiled with manure or mud.
washing with clean water Is necessary.
Water should be changed frequently,
30 that a clean supply is always in
use. After washing, surplus moisture
should be removed by wiping with a
dry or slightly damp cloth. Then there
will be no surplus water to drip into
the milk pail, or to wet the mixers
hands. When milking starts, the I'D
ders, teats and tanks should be clean
and slightly damp. b.

For Success With Bees
Furnish Plenty of Room

In order to be successful with bees,
swarms must be kept down, and pow
erful. vigorous colonies built up. One
Of the secrets Of swarm control Is to
give the big colonies an additional hive
SO there will be plenty Of room and
the queen can keep on laying Eggs
and not have to loaf until some Of
the eggs hatch to make room for more.
Bees are industrious. As long us they
have work to do and things to work
with they are satisfied, but just as
loon as the hive is full and they are
forced to loaf they become restless
and are no longer contented and trou-

Care for Work Horses

A few simple precautions will In
crease tremendously the efficiency of
the farm horse during the heavy
working senson. One Of the most I'm.
portant is to take n barrel OF wnter TO
the field and give the team a drink of
water every time you take one. Let
them rest and cool on n bit nj noon
and Mt night before feeding. Feed
o%ne-fourth the days hay allowance in
the morning. one-fourth at noon and
one-hnlf at night. Wash the necks
each day with cold water to which n
small amount Of vinegar has been
added.
