Work Horses Carefully
on Hot Davs in Spring

Horsemen need to be on their guard
overheating can be prevented by keep
ing few simple things in mind.
Give Mt least pailful Of water to
each horse about ten o'clock and again
at three or four o'clock on a hot day.
Be very careful with n horse that
Is little out of health, If you are
working him on hot day.
Look out for horse that after
sweating freely suddenly stops sweat
ing. Put such a horse in the shade
as soon rs possible and give mod
crate drink.
Do not put horse not in good con-
dltion for hard work in the center Of
a four-horse team in hot weather.
Work carefully on a hot day when
the atmosphere is moist and heavy.
A horse can hardly get too hot to
wnter. but one must regulate the
amount by the temperature Of the
water.
In case Of an attack of overheating
the horse should be taken to the shade
as soon as possible. A treatment Of
the surface Of the body, particularly
of the head, with cold water, should
be given until the temperature Is
within a degree or two of normal.
Stimulants. such as whisky or brandy.
well diluted, should be given as early
as possible.
In most cases 1t is better to plan to
avoid overheating than to plan to treat
the horse for 1t.

Age 81 Has Tragic Meaning
for Average Man or Woman
U. S. Life Tables show health, span extends only
from 18 to 31-Earnings fall off
rapidly after 40

Physical freedom and full vigor-
what are they worth to youf This is a
question the average American can
answer from his own bitter experience
for at age 81 the average American
begins to slip. After 40 his earning
power drops off rapidly. These ap-
palling facts are shown by the United
States Life Tables, 1920.
Age 3li The age at which men and
women should be entering their period
Of greatest usefulness and happinessl
The.beginning Of tho supposed prime
Of life"
Not the prime Of life. The age Of
decayl What causes contribute to
this fearful conditionf
Unwise eating. Sleeplessness. The
loading Of the body with drug stimu.
lants, which appear to give added
energy, but actually b0rrow this
energy from the body's own reserve.
Every school child is taught to
avoid stimulants. Most mothers ell
force the no-cofee rule for children.
Then comes maturity-and the squan-
dering of the reserve strength which
the body has stored up. Figures show
that the average American is able to
stand the pace just l3 years. Then,
with half his life yet before him, he
hits the down grade.
Medical literature classifies caffein
as poison Like strychnin, it is
sometimes by doctors given in cases Of
heart failure. The average cup of cof-
fee contains the usual dose Of caffein
administered in these cases.
Coffee contributes no nourishmcnt to
the body. Its only virtues, as bever-
age, are its warmth and flavor. A hot,
appetizing, drugless drink is benefit

Candle Eggs Before
Shipment Is Urged
Plan Will Eliminate Bad
Ones or Those Dirty.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuiture)
Eggs shipped in Interstate commerce
should be carefully candled by ship
pers, in order to eliminate those that
are bad or that may spoil en- route. say
officials of the bureau of chemistry,
United States Department of AgTicul-
ture, who are charged with the en-
forcement of the federal food and
drugs act. Shipments containing eggs
which hive yolks stuck to the shell.
moldy eggs, black spots, added eggs,
any any other eggs which are filthy,
decomposed or putrid are In violation
of the law.
Federal food inspectors have been
instructed to give particular attention
to shipments of eggs during the warm
months Of spring and summer to see
that the channels of Interstate COM
merce are kept as free as possible
from eggs that do not comply with the
law. Shipments of eggs that are In
violation of the lnw may be seized and
the individuals responsible for the in
terstate shipment prosecuted under the
iShSi"i ho'u ANU VI ueS hNa' soy siS
officials. Some of the states have spe-
cific laws requiring the Gambling of
all eggs placed on sale.
Careful candling before shipment
will enable dealers to eliminate the
bad eggs. The elimination of the
spoiled eggs before shipment not only
removes the hazard Of violating fed
eral and state food laws, but 1t Is eco
nomical In that 1t saves shipping
charges on eggs likely to be rejected at
place Of receipt.

Wide Variance in
Cost of Potatoes
Study Carried on by Depart
ment of Agriculture in Big
Producing States.

prepared by the United statea Department
of Agricuiture)
Yield per acre is the principal cause
Of variation in the cost of producing
potatoes. the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture points out In a
cost study in important potato pro-
duclng sections of Minnesota, Wis
consin, Michigan, New York, and
Maine. The survey dealt with costs in
1919, but the conclusions drawn are
generally applicable to other years.
Farmers who received better than
100 bushels of potatoes per acre pro-
duced them at an average of 70 cents
while those who had yield of less
than 10 bushels had an average cost
per bushel of $1.49. The cost per
bushel of potatoes grown on 461 farms
ranged from 30 cents to S2.45, with
most farms producing at a cost of
81 or less per bushel.
Important Cost Items.
Man and horse labor were the most
Important items of cost In areas
studied in Minnesota. Wisconsin.
Michigan, and New York. whereas
commercial fertilizer was the largest
item of cost in ArOostOOk county,
Maine. In Aroostook county the
fertilizer cost was larger per acre
than the combined cost Of man and
horse labor.
The cost per acre was lowest in
Clay county, Minnesota. being $7S.-
90, and higher in Aroostook county.
Maine, where the acre cost was S219.-
GO. The yield per acre in Clay coun-
ty, Minnesota, was 1O3 bushels. max
Ing the cost per bushel 10 cents, while
n yield of 27s bushels In Aroostook.
Maine. resulted In an average cost
per bushel Of 70 cents.
Potatoes fitted into n fairly definite
crop rotation in all areas except In
Clay county, Minnesota, where wheat
and oats were not grown In any
definite rotation with potatoes. In
the other areas hay, potatoes, corn,
(where corn is grown) and small
grain seeded to grass constituted the
rotation. The per cent Of fnrm re-
ceipts coming through the sale Of po-
tatoes varied from AIS per cent in
Barron county. Wisconsin, to 04.5 per
cent in Aroostook, Maine.
Man and Horse Labor.
In areas where none of the picking
labor was contracted for and as n
result the hours of picking up po-
tatoes were included, the total hours
of man labor expended in raising an
acre of potatoes varied from 63.7
hours in Anoka county, Minnesota,
to 92.7 hours per acre in Barron coun-
ty, Wisconsin. The hours of horse
work used per acre were the lowest
or 65.7 in Clay county. Minnesota,
and highest In Monroe county, New
York, where 116O hours were used
Commercial fertilizer was applied at
the rate of 1880 pounds per acre
upon potato land In Aroostook county
Maine. None Of the other areas
studied approached this quantity of
commercial fertilizer application.

work, together with the cultural prac.
tees for each area, are given in de-

IT PAYS TO GRIND
GRAIN FOR STEERS

"GrindIng feed for my young steers

corn. both of which are ground. In
this shape 1t Is easily digested and the
usual waste because Of cattle bolting
whole corn is eliminated. OF course
there is very little hog feed from
steers fed shelled corn. but the ground
corncob makes up a big share of this
loss.
II usually buy young steers. This
bunch averaged 435 pounds when
bought them. After almost a year on
ground grain, hay and roughage. they
scaled close to 1000 pounds. This is
a very good increase In less than
twelve months. Usually I buy these
cattle in November and through the
winter give them sllage, clover hay and
ground feed. The winter feed of grain
Is about two-thirds of what they will
eat when on full feed; and even then
the full feed is only about twenty
pounds Of mixed ground grain.
"When my clover and blue grass
pasture is ready along In May, the
cattle are turned out. There is no set
back at first because still continue
the hay and grain. After a bit they
will eat but the corn and oats, leaving
the hay. Along in September, when
the corn Is in good shape. turn the
cattle in the fields for a month with
the hogs. The grain is ripe but not
thoroughly hardened. This does not
make aEy difference.
'"The reason feed young cattle Is
the initial investment. 1t is not very
