Threshing Costs Pile Up Quickly
Threshing costs pile up rapidly,
whether the machine is stopped for
repairs or is running, says l.. B Bas-
sett of the farm management division
at University Farm, st. Paul.
To illustrate his point, Mr.. Bassett
calls attention to records of two
threshing outfits for 1923.
A 22x38 separator and a 1880 gas
engine, according to records, cost $27
a day of ten hours, or as cents a min
ute. At cents bushel, the price
chraged for threshing wheat, this ma
chine had to thresh $40 bushels of
wheat day to meet expenses. That
is it had to thresh wheat at the rate
of 81 bushels an hour, or almost a
bushel a minute.
Another large machine, 32X56, OPP
Grated by a 1880 gas engine, showed
cost of $500 an hour, or $50 for a
10-hour day. 1t charged 6 cents a
bushel for wheat, and had>to thresh
600 bushels day to make expenses,
or bushel a minute. Thirty-three
per cent of the threshing done by
this machine was oats, for which a
charge of 3 cents bushel was made.
So it had to thresh 200 bushels of
oats day to meet expenses

The United States Bureau Of Fisheries
here has been asked to cooperate in the
location of gold veins in the ocean off

that, while he most assuredly could get
gold from sea water, the cost of eXtrac-

however, that gold in the ocean runs in

request, but intimated that they

Their interest, they said, would be
entirely to assist Haber's scientific
work, and not any possible new

W. Davis. Democratic presidential
nominee, began today the last lap of
his drive in Western New York State,
leaving here for a MONDAY speaking
engagement in Rochester and the

Buffalo. He described his visits to
Schenectady, Albany, Utica and here
as particularly encouraging" and
told members of his party he now
was entirely confident the November
verdict would be favorable to the
Democratic national and State tick
cts.
From now on to the closing of the

His tw, opponents in the campaign
for the presidency, Calvin Coolidge
and Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette,
were picked out last night by Mr..
Davis as the principal targets for the
attack he delivered before a large
audience in the Syracuse arena.
He declared that the credit given
President Coolidge and the Washing

the Dawes reparation plan was unde-
served.

1t was at this point that the can
didate introduced the name of Senator
La Toilette. He said Senator La Fol-
lette had brought forward a PROPOSE
ton which would permit Congress
to overru1e, by a subsequent. vote, any

is so menacing, so destructive, that
there can be for the American
people but one refuge from its pas

Jimmy Skunk Becomes
WatChman.
Few are they who give offense
To one prepared for self defense.


This is the story Of how Jimmy
Skunk became a watchman. A watch
man, you know, is one who is left in
charge of a place to see that no harm
comes to it. Jimmy had no idea OF
being a watchman, but, nevertheless,
he became one. And this is how 1t
happened.
Jimmy had made his home under
Farmer Browns sugar house in the
Green Forest. He liked it over there.
To be sure, he missed Farmer Browns
Boy. for the latter was no longer
staying in that sugar house. But
Jimmy isn't one to mird being alone.
What he missed most was the fine
food Farmer Browns Boy had given
him. But he didn't have any trouble
in finding plenty of fat beetles ano
other things, so he didn't worry
about going hungry. He began to
regard that sugar house as belonging
TO him.
II is astonishing how fast news
travels through the Green Forest.
Within two days after that sugar
house had been closed for the sum-
mer most of the little people in the
Green Forest knew II. Buster Bear
knew ii. Buster had kept away from
there all through the sugar season.
You see, Buster is most distrustful
OF human beings. But the very night
after he learned that that sugar
house had been closed Buster Shufiied
straight over there.
Il hope they have left some of that
sweet stuff in that house." muttered
Buster, in that deep, grumbly rumbly
voice of his. Yes. sir. / hope they
have left some of that sweet stuff in
there. If they have I'll get 1t. III
get in there somehow"
So Buster shuffled along until he
came into the little clearing in which
was Farmer Browns sugar house. At
the edge of this, still standing in the
plack shadows, Buster stopped TO
look. listen and smell. His eyes
ears and nose told him at once that
no human beings were about. He
started straight across for the door
of that sugar house.
Now, the hole that Jimmy Skunk
had made under that sugar house
opened close beside the door Jimmy
was sitting on his doorstep. He saw
Buster Bear coming. Buster didn't
see him. Jimmy waited until Buster
was almost to the sugar house. Then
he slowly walked out to meet Buster
