Swedish Farms Lighted
and Operated by Current

Stockholm.-While the utilization Of
water power for every purpose has
been developing rapidly in Sweden
during the last two decades, there is
a strong tendency at present to con-
vert the turbine power into electric
energy for further industrial use. Thus
factories are being built hundreds Of
miles away from the source Of their
power, and electric current is not only
distributed to all parts Of Sweden, but
is exported to neighboring countries as
well.
There are now 2,10O large power
plants in Sweden, of which about 90
per cent furnish light, heat and power
for the country districts. Besides,
there are several hundred smaller
plants using less than 10000 horse
power each.
Forty per cent of the Swedish farms
now run their household, dairy, and
agricultural machinery by electricity,
and 80 per cent of the houses in the
country districts are lighted by cleo
tricity. This is believed to be rec
ord for the world.

said looking pertly at him, II wish

Somewhat confused, the immaculate
stranger came into the headquarters,
and under Lucy's directions and
amidst many ill-hidden chuckles he
got the boxes ready for shipment.
Then he went, asking Lucy for her
name, but not giving his own.
Pertness had worked so we'll thus
far that Lucy determined to keep it
up at least for the remainder of the
day. Just before dinner time she tele-
phoned to Radnor Jackson.
"Say, this is Lucy" she said. "I've
been working like little busy bee
all day, Rad, and just feel like do
ing something thrilling. They dance
out at the Country club tonight.
Won't you take me out?"
Two weeks later Lucy burst in upon
her grandmother, working diligently
over her embroidery frame. "Ive the
most wonderful news" she said.
"Radnor Jackson has asked me to
marry MIN anQ-SO we're engaged.
Isn't that wonderful?''
'It's at least very satisfactory" said
the grandmother, beaming her ap-
proval 'Yes, I should say Radnor
Jackson was well worth your while.
Radnor's father and I have always
been friends. He's president Of my
bank, you know. May speak Of the
matter to himT
Lucy said she might, and Grand
mother Mills found excuse to go to
the bank that very day.
$50 Lucy Mills is your grandchild?"
he said. Extraordinarily charming
girl" he said, and laughed softly to
himself. II met her few days ago
at the Red Cross. Most amusing in
cident. But excuse me, Mrs. Mills, If
I say that no girl of your generation
would have been quite so pert"
And Grandmother Mills shook her
head and said: "Of course not"

waste grain, but good cows should al
ways be given square deal.
A COW first maintains her body
then she thinks about giving milk, or
putting on flesh.
If cow had nothing but roughage
she would probably do best on a COM
bination of corn silage and alfalfa
hay, but as common rough feed US
ually runs it alone, does not do much
more than maintain a good cow.
True, she does have four stom-
aches, but the roughage is too rough
and is too much for her. She is led
up just to the point where she will
begin thinking about milk and then
her feeder lays down on the job.
If cows can not have any grain,
their rsughage should be as heavy as
possible in food value. Alfalfa hay
is the hay that is heaviest in protein.
Corn silage is the most concentrated
corn roughage.
Good cows will always pay well for
feeding them home grown grains. If
the return does not come in the cream
check right now, they pay for it in
raising better calves and being in re-
spectacle physical condition for the
future.

BOSSY MUST HIT ON ALL FOUR
BY M. A. Nye,
pluo Vo11av Farm Corvica


"A cow fed ordinary roughage and
no grain must keep her four stom-
aches constantly hitting on all four
or her portion of roughage will soon
swamp her.
In this wild scramble to sell grain
and starve the cows through the
winter because of present grain pric-
es, it is well to stop and think min
ute whether we are gamer or loser
by so doing.
The dairy business is long time
proposition with the real dairy man.
A good herd of cows is not made
over night. The way cattle are fed
and treated today may not tell in the
milk pail until next fall or winter.
Flesh that is MIXED off of a COW
must be replaced some time. Cows
can go into the barn this winter in
fine condition. They can be fed
scantily this winter and still give a
good flow of milk, but in the spring
they will be very poor and run
down in flesh. They must then start
over the long road to gain back what
they have lost. Is this good economy?
This winter is certainly no time to

COOP. PATRONS GET DIVIDEND

Shipping associations which have
been patrons during the year of the
Central Cooperative Commission COM
pany face the pleasing prospect of
drawing a nice large dividend on
commissions they have paid.
j. S. Montgomery, general manag-
er, in an interview with a Farm
Bureau representative, stated that net
earnings above all expenses for the
first l. months of this year are about
$4,000. "The directors" said Mr..
Montgomery, "will meet soon after
the first of the year for the purpose
of closing the years business and
declaring dividends. Present earn
ings will make it possible for them to
make patronage refund of 25 per
cent of all commissions paid in and
leave substantial reserve.
Receipts for the II months have
been 16,887 cars, not including busi-
ness received by truck. This is just
a few cars short of our receipts for
the same period in 1928, and amounts
to approximately 26 per cent of the
total receipts for the year.
"Our saving to patrons, because of
lower commissions, is estimated at
approximately eighty thousand dal-
lars F."

25,OOO Farmers Unite
to Pray Gods for Rain

Kioto, Japan.-More than 25,O0O
farmers participated in prayer cere-
mony held recently in Funai county,
Kioto prefecture, to pray to the an
cient Shinto deities to send rain.
Drought has been threatening the
western and southern part Of Japan
with serious rice crop shortages this
year.
The drought is causing quar-els
among farming communities in vari-
Gus parts Of southern Japan, where
the water supply is inadequate. The
governor Of Kumamoto prefecture has
been asked to act as referee between
two villages which are Quarreling over
the right Of one higher up the stream
that runs through both, to dam the
stream to get water for its parched
crops.

State Game Commission
Asks Hunters for Reports
Law Provides List of Game Killed
Must Be Filed Before License
Can Be Issued

Thousands of reports have been re-
ceived by the State Game and Fish
Department from small game hunters
throughout the state who are taking
no chances of forfeiting their right to
a hunting license next fall through
failure to report this seasons kill of
game as required by law.
During the past several years many
that provision of the hunting laws
which requires report of all game
animals and birds taken under every
license issued, and although they have
escaped the penalty in the past, it
was only because of the form of af-
fidavit signed by all applicants for
licenses this fall that many of them
were not denied the privilege to hunt
game in 1924. A loop-hole was dis
covered in the affidavit which made it
possible for an applicant merely to
swear that he had reported his kill of
game for the previous year, without
reference to the date of his report,
and obtain another license. That
fault in the form of affidavit will be
corrected before next fall, however,
so it will be necessary for all who eX-
pect to hunt next season to comply
with the letter of the law.
1t is provided that licensees shall
make such report to the Commission
er on the form attached to all hunt
ing licenses on or before thirty days
after the expiration of such license.
All big game licenses must be made
not later than December 20. All
small game licenses expire January
l., so the report of game taken under
such licenses must be made on or be-
fore January 81.
Sportsmen will comply with the
law by reporting within the time
specified, but the value of this sea-
sons reports will be enhanced if the
reports are made before the last day,
and the earlier they are made, the
better it will serve the purpose for
which the law was enacted.
The state legislature will convene
early in January, and it is desirable
that the measures proposed in the
sportsmen's interest be introduced as
early as possible in the session. Facts
disclosed by the reports of licensees
will have an important bearing on the
action taken with regard to the game
and fish laws. 1t is necessary, there
fore, that these facts be available at
the earliest time possible. A vast
amount of clerical work is involved
in compiling the reports from such a
large number of licenses, and that
part of the departments work will be
facilitated by an early report from
those who hunted in 1924.
Those who comply with the require
ments before January 81 will observe
the letter of the law, but those who
report Immediately will observe the
spirit of the law in it's fullest sense,
and will promote the cause Of intelli-
gent wild life conservation in sports
manlike manner.
And it should be remembered that
all reports Of game taken under big
game hunting licenses must be made
to the Commissioner not later than
december 20.

PASSING OF OLD
SHIP END OF ERA
Last of Sailing Whaler4
"Piled Up" on Rocks.

New Bedford, Mass.-The WandeN
er, last Of New Bedford whalers, Is
through. She finished where she be-
gan, and today is pounding to pieces
on the rocky ledges off Cutty-hunk.
1t marks the end of an era-tha
passing of an era of romance when
iron men went down to the sea in
wooden ships"-the end Of the era
that gave New Bedford its 'whaler's
motto"-"A dead whale or stove
boat"
The Wanderer sailed on the cruise
of Is months, scheduled to be her last.
The cruise lasted little more than
day, and the voyage for 10 miles. For
Captain Antoine Edwards, the skipper,
found he hadn't enough men, so the
bark was anchored off Mishaum Point.
During his absence the Wanderer be-
gan to drag anchor during what her
crew of another generation would have
called mild breeze, drifted before q
nOrtherly gale and went on the rocks.
And the Wanderer, half century the
proudest Of New Bedfords fleet of inn
posing whalers, is breaking up on Mid
die Ground shoals, total loss, ending
her career, as the old plainsman-witfi
her boots on.
Captain Edwards, who has been SAIL
ing on whalers for 80 years, reported
the boat total loss. Her foremast
had dropped through her hull and she
had buckled amidships.
While thousands of visitors thronged
the deck of the Wanderer 4S hours be-
fore, sea-tanned whalemen were
Overhauling her gear, grinding the
whaling spades and fitting the trying
out kettles just as they did a hundred
years ago when whaling was in it's
heyday and New Bedford was the
whaling port of North America.
The Wanderer is known to thou
sands through a popular moving-pic-
ture film, in which she was used in the
whaling scenes. 1t was planned to
put her back into the movies.
Built in 1S4S, bark-rigged and cop
pered, the Wanderers bulwarks rose
high over the deck, while her wheel
was entirely covered by the high poop
deck. The bulwarks were so high it
was impossible to see to starboard.

Gasoline Tax Bills Are
Coming In Large Numbers
Lawmakers Are Moving to Associate
Themselves With Popular Method
of Raising Good Roads Funds

Seeking to attach their names to
legislation effecting in Minnesota the
gasoline tax, so popular in SO states
as a means of obtaining good roads
funds, several members of the legls-
lature. already are drafting bills on
the subject, according to reports from
the capitol. Others are expected to
identify themselves with the proposal
which received at the recent election
over $4,000 yes votes and more
than any other proposition or candi-
date.
Bills now being framed specify a
2-cent tax and follow like lines In
general. The tax is to be limited to
gasoline for motor vehicles using the
highways under most proposals which
provide for year-end refunds on at
fidavits covering gasoline for other
purposes. Collections may be made
on certificates of the state oil in
spector to the state treasurer and
from manufacturers or importers as
is the practice in three-fourths Of the
states.
The National Petroleum association
and certain state organizations OF oil
interests are ISIlIlHS Iie Sdooiiiio eo'->
and may attempt to obstruct favor
able legislation in Minnesota, accord
ing to reports.
A rumor that the tax could not be
limited to gasoline for highway We
hicles was broadcast this week but
reputable attorneys predicted an ex-
emption plan will be worked out. The
report brought that although the gas
oline tax is universally popular,
twenty-five out of the thirty-six
states collecting it make no exemp-
tions. Indiana is one of the excep-
tions but refunded less than $75, 200
on a total of nearly $5,50O,OOO. The
average farmer and others find the re-
funds so small on exemption claims
that they allow them to go for good
roads rather than trouble to obtain
them, according to the experience OF
some states.
Minnesota will take advantage of
the experiences of other states, it is
expected and enact model gasoline
tax law.

Minnesota Egg Exchange
Serves Many Other States
Achieved Fame During Months OF Its
Successful observation-disclosures
Attention In Other States

Minnesota's prestige as leader in
the field of cooperative marketing is
being added to every week as one or
the other of the states cooperative as
sociations attracts favorable atten-
ton in other states.
The Minnesota Cooperative Egg
& Poultry Exchange has already
achieved enviable fame during the
few months of its successful opera
ton, so much so that arrangements
are under way to have it serve other
states as selling agency for their
eggs and poultry.
At the recent convention OF the
South Dakota Farm Bureau Fedora
tion it was voted to foster the de-
velopment of cooperative egg and
poultry marketing associations under
the contract system, to assist in or,
ganizing district associations and
grading centers and to affiliate with
the Minnesota Exchange as selling
agency until such time as is deemed
advisable to form separate selling
agency. -
Missouri College of Agriculture, the
Mark Twain Poultry Producers
Assn. of New London, Mo-, invited
Manager McPheeters, of the Mime
sofa Exchange, to meet with them the
mast week with view to having the
Minnesota organization handle the
Sales end of their business, as well as
advising them on details OF organi-
cation and management.
AS a result of recent Inspection
visit to the Minnesota exchange by
the head of Ohio's department OF
markets and the editor of the Ohio
Farmer. it is announced that the
Minnesota plan has been adopted by
the Egg & Poultry association formed
in the Buckeye state.
The South Dakota action followed
an address at the annual meeting of
the Farm Bureau of that state by
Hagbarth Bue, vice president OF the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation
and president of the Minnesota Egg
& Poultry Exchange. The visit to
Minnesota by the Onion men also
was a result of Mr.. Bue's address at
the annual meeting Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation in Chicago.
