Increase Capacity

Two Side Supports Will
Prove Convenient.

Loads of merchandise, which ara
light in weight but large and bulky
in size, can easily be carried on small
wagons by providing two side sup
ports of the kind shown In the draw
ing. The supports are made by nall
ing 1O-inch board to two lelgths OF
2 or 3 by 4-inch wood, as shcwn in
the upper right-hand detail, and the
supports are then arranged on the
wagon box, as shown in the left-hand
view, with the 2 by 4-inch legs cross
ing each other. The legs should be
bolted together to keep the supports
in position securely, so that heavy
loads will not displace them. Large

Sparrow Is Blamed for
Spreading New Disease

4
A new count has been found in the
indictment against the English spar
row. Not only is be noisy, filthy, and
pugnacious, but he sometimes harbors
a parasite and spreads infection to
other birds
That this parasite may also affect
chickens and turkeys, a fact which
seems never to have been noted be-
fore, is reported by DR.. w. A. Riley
Of the division of entomology and
economic zoology and DR.. III. G. III.
Kernkamp of the division of veteri-
nary medicine, University of Mime
sofa, who examined infested chickens
from a flock raised on the shore Of
Lake Minnetonka and turkeys from a
FARM near Vining, Ottertail county.
The university men found that the
fowls were infested with a parasitic
worm which lives in tumors or cysts
about the size of buckshot on the skin,
these tumors being more numerous
near the vent and extending up over
the body and on the legs. While
there is no evidence that the health
Of infested fowls will suffer materially,
the presence of the tumors will I'M
doubtedly lessen the market value Of
poultry.
'The parasite has been known In
Europe for more than 100 years as oc-
curing in song birds and has been re
ported few times on wild birds in
this country says Doctor Riley, "but
was never known to be on poultry"

Bank Rutabaga Turnips
to Keep During Winter

Rutabaga turnips may be kept In
perfect condition throughout the win
ter If dug in late November or early
December and banked in SOIL Cut off
the tops close to the turnips and trim
the roots, place the turnips In banks
containing from to 10 bushels each,
and cover with to IL inches of soil.
There is no necessity for putting
straw around the turnips; the soil will
keep them cool and moist.
The turnips may be taken from the
bank any time during the winter as
needed. They will keep in perfect
condition in the bank until the wealth
err turns warm in early March.

EARN MITES

An hour a day makes farm reading
pay.
Tenant farming and soil depletion
go hand in hand.
The dirt farmer, if he would be sue
cessful, must also be a brain farmer.
In opening up the silos be very care
full to remove all the moldy and
rotted silage on top.
Early picked corn makes best seed.
Early selection, rapid drying, and safe
storing insure good seed supply.
If the embattled farmers will stand
together in cooperative selling, they
can FIRE a shot heard around the
world.
Farming is the only business which
it's operators have tried to run solely
from the producing end, disregarding
the selling end.
Put the soft corn in silo; or feed
it out as soon as possible; or dry it
and feed later on. Some of it will
even make good seed if carefully dried
and stored.
See that the young calves are fed
warm clean milk and that the guam.
tity fed is not varied suddenly, and
sterilize the milk pals after each
feeding.

active, and fowl that is used chiefly
flor the eggs that she produces Her
name denotes her color of feathers.
Next in popularity are the Rhode
Island Reds. They, too, are great lay
ers, but also make fine meat. 1t is
one of the new breeds that was de-
veloped in this country. The Reds
have often been called the farmers
hen.
The Barred Rock, which is third in
popularity among the farmers and
poultrymen Of the state, has a barred
plumage Of grayish white This va
riety is generally looked upon as one
of the old popular general purpose
breeds. They are good layers. and
also make fine eating.
With the exception of the Brown
Leghorn variety of chickens, which
are considered chiefly for laying, the
others, including the Anconas, White
Rocks and the White WyandotteR are
each general purpose breeds.

during the winter and all with chaffy
kernels or dull lustre should be thrown
out. The remaining ears should be
tested by terminating six kernels
from each ear as described In Circular
So. Save for seed the ears which
show a large, vigorous sprout on the
germinator
The man who purchases seed corn
for next spring should investigate the
source of the seed and be certain
that 1t has come from responsible
grower or seed house specializing in
seed corn production and fire drying
Of seed. The responsible, progressive
seedmen specializing in seed corn
production have all installed special
drying apparatus for fire drying seed
corn.
The combination Of field selected,
fire dried, and tested seed, sown early
on well prepared clover land, has given
an average increase in yield of %
bushels per acre over the ordinary
methods of growing corn.

Keep Cabbage in Cellar
at Proper Temperature

Cabbage keeps best at temperature
slightly above freezing from 38 to 40
degrees Fahrenheit. Many cellars are
too warm for cabbage and when it is
to be stored in large amounts the
best method is the outside pit. When
the cellar is kept at the desired TEN.
perature the best way Of keeping the
cabbage in it is to bury the heads in
boxes of sand. Only the good, solid
heads should be stored. They should
be pulled when they reach a good size
but not left until very large. The late
varieties should be stored as they
keep better than others

Push the pullets for heavy egg pro
duction.
Be sure to supply plenty of green
feed through the winter to your birds.
Put all machinery in the shed so it
will be in good condition to use next
year.
"Naw occasions teach new duties"
says Lowell, and that is true in farm
ing as elsewhere.
The soy bean furnishes probably the
best balanced protein which we have
in the vegetable kingdom.
The good corn farmer does not
plant nubbins. Why should the fruit
grower buy scrub trees to set an or
chard?
Too many farmers still do not real
ize that the experiment stations and
agricultural colleges exist largely to
save costly mistakes and long expe
rience struggles by farmers.

Good Egg-Laying Mash

A good laying mash can be made Of
100 pounds each of ground oats, ground
corn, middlings, bran and meat scrap.
If you have plenty Of sour milk to
feed the hens, reduce the meat scrap
one-half. Equal parts Of cracked corn
and wheat makes an ideal fall scratch
grain ration. You can obtain very
practical bulletin on poultry feeding
by addressing the Michigan Agrlcul-
tural college experiment station, East
Lansing.

Correct Proportion Of
Alfalfa to Feed Pigs

Not more than per cent of a pigs
ration should consist of ground alfalfa.
If made to eat more than that he will
not gain as rapidly as without 1t. The
best way to feed alfalfa to pigs Is in
the form of hay. However. sometimes
they will not eat it in that form and
when the ration is such that they
ought to have some Of 1t, it should
be ground and mixed with the feed.
Allow the pigs to balance their own
ration by letting them help themselves
from a self-feeder.

Fix Drain for Silo

There is considerable difference of
opinion among dairy experts as to
whether a silo should or should not
have concrete floor and drain.
Thousands of silos are in use and CIV
ing satisfactory service without a con-
crete floor, while many good dairy
men think that concrete floor and
drain is an advantage. If the soil
underneath will permit liquid to be
absorbed, then a hole in the floor Is
all that is needed in the way Of a
drain.

Early Matches Favored

A late Matched chick will never de-
velop as rapidly, economically, or
reach maturity in as short time as
earlier matches. Most Of the late
stock will always appear rather i'm
mature, never attain sufficient size,
and will not start laying early enough
to hit the market Of high egg prices.
With late Matched birds a proper feed
ing method will help but cannot work
the miracle of making something worth
while out of nothing.

Honey in Baking

Honey is very valuable in preserv-
ing all kinds of breads, rolls and 9TH
err bakery goods, and keeps them
moist. Cookies, cakes, and breads In
which honey is used for sweetening
will remain moist for long time, very
much longer than when sugar is used.
at the present time there is large
demand among bakers FOR honey. Re
Gently, in a bread-making contest,
bread that was sweetened with honey
took the first prize. Present indica-
tons are that honey will soon be used
In many bakeries.

Few Pullets Too Fat

In order to properly produce, "a
pullet should be in prime condition.
The fear of having hens too fat has
been drilled into all of us so long
that we are beginning to feel about
the same in regard to pullets. There
are more pullets that are poor pro-
ducers because of improper condition
than there are thosS that are too fat
in the fall Sometimes it seems that
one could be safe in stating that pull
let going into winter quarters cannot
be too fat.

[)(NIrRY
BREEDING MALE is
OF BIG IMPORTANCE

With poultry, as with everything
else, like produces like. Poultrymen,
realizing the truth of this, are now
making the final selection of their
breeders for the coming spring, ever
bearing in mind that what they select
now will be multiplied in numbers
rcxt year.
First of all, says r. E. Cray. assist
ant specialist in poultry husbandry Of
the New York State Agricultural
college, remember that the male Is
more than half the flock. The cheap
est male is the one with a pedigree
record, stamina, and body conforma-
ton; the most expensive male is the
scrub which you usually get when ex-
changing with neighbor. Remember
that egg production must be bred in,
in order to be fed out.
The good producer has body type
of capacity measured by its length,
depth, and width of body, lean face
free from wrinkles, and large, promi-
nent eye. The head should be well
balanced, broad and deep, with every
line denoting strength. The skin
should be soft and pliable and the
shanks smooth and flat. Above all, the
breeder should show no signs Of sick
ness, but it's personality should de-
note health, vigor and interested ac-
tivity.
Only use those birds for breeders
which have completed at least one
years production and which were
culled vigorously during the period.
Remember that you culled to eliminate
the poor producers so that you would
not breed from them, and then decide
how many poor birds you would pro-
duce If you were to breed from the
pullets which you now have
The comparative number Of males
and females varies with the breeds, as
follows:
Leghorns. .......1 male to Is females
Anconas. .........l male TO 10 IernaleS
Rocks. ..........1 male to 10 females
Reds. male to 10 females
Wyandottes. .....1 male to 10 females
Give the breeders plenty of exercise,
allowing them out in the yards when
the weather permits. Keep the litter
dry and deep and the house well sup
piled with fresh air.
High fertility and stronger chicks
will result if the breeders are not
forced. 1t is best to keep them below
30 per cent production; II per cent
animal protein in the mash is suffi-

WORTHY WORK OF
SALVATION AR MY
WINS RECOGNITION
Meet them with a smile.

Meet them with smile!
From house to house. solicitors for
the Salvation Army are making a
canvass of the cities of Augusta, Hal
lowell and Gardiner in the local
Home Service Appeal.
You will know them, because they
will present the official literature OF
the campaign, bearing the printed
endorsement of the Augusta Cham
Der of Commerce, and containing a
pledge card and an envelope in
which to place the donation.
These workers are not toiling for
themselves, they are working for the
unfortunate of Gardiner, Hallowell
and Augusta.
Both Ensign Lawrence and the
older members of his family did
Salvation Army war work in this
country; but while the brave boys
whom they served have returned to
their ordinary occupations. they
have kept on in their service for
humanity: their call to duty did not
become silent with the salvos of
Armistice Day.
The money they solicit will be
spent here, for shoes and stockings
for children, dinners and breakfasts
for those without, for the reuniting
OF parents and children, and the re-
Mobilization of the erring and unfor-
tunate. Someone has remarked that
a dollar paid the Salvation Army
is insurance against crime, but 1t is
more than that, for a man set on his
feet, given self-respect and the de-
sire and ability to pay his bills. Is of
increased value to the community.
The local corps of the Salvation
Army had SIS converts last year.
Only a few weeks ago. Ensign
Lawrence. during a visit at the Ken
nebec Jail, was told that a prisoner
wished to speak to him. The man
prived of their support during his
term. Ensign Lawrence visited the
family. and found the wife and chill
dren in pitiable circumstances. The
children had no shoes and were at
tending school with rubbers tied onto
their feet with ordinary Irvine. The
wife complained of trouble with her
head since she had broken her
glasses. and had no money with
which to replace. Help from the
town did not include eyeglasses.
The children were provided with
shoes and other clothing, and new
glasses were cheerfully bought for
the wife and mother. That money
was spent in this city; local mer-
chants got the business and a local
optician reftted. the glasses. The
Salvation Army unites charity and
common sense.
Send donations to the Salvation
Army, Winthrop street, Augusta,
making checks payable to Charles S.
Hichborn, treasurer.
When the solicitors call, It is the
part of civic patriotism to make the
donation as large as possible and
