Even aside from the sensational new
DUPLEX BODY-the Studebaker Special
Six has no superior in value in any car yet
built. 1t was the conscientious intention
of Studebaker in planning and designing
the new Special Six to make it just such a
leader-to that end every resource of the
great Studebaker organization has been
concentrated.
Even if we had the space we could not
begin to tell you of the very many new
and unusual features which indicate its
superiority.
Certainly no words could do Justice to
its distinctive beauty.
In appearance it is unlike any other
American car-yet its long, low, broad.
sweeping lines are conservative, crisply
stylish and in beautifully good taste.
Think of the new Studebaker Special Six
Duplex-Phaeton as the ultimate in value
and performance in a fve-passenger car
think of it as car matchless in practical
convenience and desirability.
But to appreciate the sparkling beauty of
its totally new lines you must see it To
know its perfection of operation and per-
torrance you must ride in it and drive it.
If you have not seen this NEW type car

Legume Roughages Are
Most Weighty Factors

When alfalfa hay is worth $15
ton, timothy hay is worth only SO
cents a ton for dairy cows. This low
value is due to it's low protein con-
tent high percentage of fiber, low per-
centage of ash and lack of palatability.
Whenever it is possible to do so, it
paws to sell timothy and buy alfalfa
In It's place.
Legume roughages are one of the
most important factors In an economi-
cal dairy ration They are palatable
and their high protein content makes
it possible to balance ration without
the use of so much high-priced con-
centrates. They are also high in min
eral content. Alfalfa, red clover, soy
beans and cowpeas rank in palatabil-
ity in the order named. When the
greater portion Of the leaves are saved
In harvesting soy beans and cowpeas
rank above the others in protein and
mineral content. Alfalfa is generally
placed at the head Of the list of rough
ages for dairy COWS. It's value in the
ration is often underestimate. If you
were short of legume hay last winter,
1t is time to plan the rotation so as to
increase the supply this year.

mines the success or failure Of the
farmer If he buys on analysis and is
sure of getting what he pays for his
chances of success are greatly In
creased
Many forms of adulteration, accord
ing to Strowd, can escape casual in
spection. To prevent such practices
and see that the farmer gets what he
pays for Is the object of the inspec-
ton service. Adulteration, he says,
is insignificant compared with what
1t would be without adequate inspec-
ton.
Among the many developments
which mean a saving to the feed
buyer Is a method of detecting adul-
iteration In oil meal, recently worked
out by the division. 1t will also pro-
tect the honest dealer from unfair
competition. Strowd advises buying
feed on analysis from manufacturers
who value their reputation above tenn
porary profits.

Saving HOMEGROWN
Seed Advantageous
Big Help to Gardener and
Also His Neighbors.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
That there are advantages to the
home gardener in saving seed where it
is grown, both for marketing to his
neighbors and for his own use is gen.
orally recognized. These advantages,
according to Farmers Bulletin 1890,
vegetable Seeds for the Home and
Market Garden just published by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, are twofold: The selection which
the gardener gives his seed plants,
while not greater than that which the
seed grower gives his seed stock, is
often better than can be given to seed
that is placed on the market, and the
plants selected will be the ones which
succeed best under local environment.
The suggestions in this bulletin are
directed to methods of seed saving
rather than of seed selection, as few
persons engaged in any branch of gar
dening have the insight, patience, per-
severance and enthusiasm required for
the development Of valuable new vari-
cites of vegetables.

the dairy COW stands the product of
the Dixie cotton fields. Cotton seed
meal, Strowd finds, comes to this state
mostly from Texas and other south
western territory. All parts of the
cotton belt, however, contribute to the
supply.
The neighboring corn belt states
furnish some supplies Of hominy feed,
gluten feed and other corn products.
Strowd points out that some corn is
also imported to help out the grain

Plant Strawberry Patch
in Almost ANY Location

The strawberry will grow in almost
all locations in the state. An area of
1000 or 1900 square feet will produce
a seasons supply of berries for the
average family. For those reasons the
strawberry bed is recommended by
Prof. r. J. Barnett, horticulturist Of
the Kansas State Agricultural college
A few important suggestions for sue
cessful strawberry culture made by
Professor Barnett follow:
On the site chosen the soil should
be almost as fertile as for g. vegetable
garden. Rows may be as close as 30
inches and the plants Is inches apart
in the row. Plants must be maiden
sets"-that Is, runner-set plants Of
last summer, which have never borne
fruit. A strawberry plant should have
all old leaves and all but two or three
Of its new leaves pruned of when set.
The roots should be cut back to about
two and one-half inches in length. Set
a strawberry plant just so none OF the
roots are above the surface of the
grougd and no soil covers the eye or
growing bud of the plant. The soil
should be pressed so tightly over the
well-spread-out roots that the plants
cannot be pulled up by one leaf stem.
Excelsior, Dunlap and Aroma are
good home patch varieties which ripen
in the order named. Superb or Pro-
gressive may be planted If an ever
bearing type of strawberry is desired

WATER GLASS BEST
TO PRESERVE EGGS

Preserving eggs in water glass has
become a general practice, and is
meeting with perfect success where
ever tried, provided it is properly car
ried on. Remember that if you put in
a poor egg, you are going to take out
poor one.
Eggs to be put in water glass should
be fresh, sound and clean. They
should be gathered daily and preserved
the same day on which they are laid.
Infertile eggs are conducive to the best
success.
The method Of preservation is as
follows: Take one quart. Of water
glass, which can be secured at any
drug store at about 81 per gallon, and
mix with ten quarts of water that has
been boiled and then cooled. Stir
thoroughly and place in crockery
vessel, never using galvanized or tin
vessels. Place In a cool, well-ven-
tilated cellar, and add eggs as you
gather them from day to day, always
keeping the solution one inch above
the eggs, and keeping the crock COW
cred with a lid Of some kind to pre-
vent too much evaporation.
Eggs preserved in this manner will!
keep perfectly for one year.
The water glass solution will not
injure the hands, SO do not be afraid
to handle the eggs in the solution.
Do not use the solution more than
one year.
It Is hard. to tell water glass egg
from a fresh egg, If the former Is
properly kept But by considering the
price now and in winter, you can af-
ford to eat three water glass eggs
next winter where you could eat only
one fresh one, and still have somei
money left. It will be found hard to
boil water glass eggs, but by pune
turing the large end with a needle, to
allow the air to escape, and allowing
the water to come to boil gradually,
you will not experience much trouble.

tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.

DAIRY FEED BUYER
MUST KNOW MARKET

The dairyman must be an expert
Judge Of feed, some one has said. It
Is Just as true that he also needs to
be market expert to know when to
buy. The Wisconsin department of ag-
riculture Is often asked about the adj
visibility of buying feed in summer
for winter use TO this inquiry w. 81.
Strowd, Of the feed inspection d.
vision invariably replies, mo hard
and fast rule can be laid down for
what and when to buy"
He has found that prices change
rapidly and that the variation from
year to year is very irregular. A
study which he made Of the summer
price of bran compared with the
winter price showed an average of 40
cents more for the latter. 1t is doubt
full If this would cover interest and
storage costs. Three of the seven
years studied show a higher summer
price. and four show a higher winter
price.
While the long distance prediction
of prices is uncertain, Strowd believes
the farmer can often buy for future
use at a saving If he Is familiar with
the markets. Buying ahead he may
lose. but If he guesses right more
than half the time he will save money.
If he is not familiar with the mar
kets or is unwilling to study them,
Strowd believes he should buy for inn
mediate needs only.

Increase Yield of Eggs
bv DESTROYING All Mites

Poultry men and farmers sometimes
overlook a very important fact. 1t IS
that the best Of feed, plenty of 1t, well
balanced ration, etc., will not induce
hens to lay eggs if they are compelled
to roost In houses infested with mites
The little red insect saps the vital-t
zity Of the her by sucking her blood
Hens have actually been killed, vir-
tually eaten alive, by mites. Chickens
cannot lay except when their vitality
is maintained Vitality and mites cam
not exist in the same hen roost.
Guard against mites by giving all
woodwork inside the poultry house
coat of hot whitewash well carbolized.
The roosts and their supports
should be painted all over with car
bOlineum, zenoleum, carpoline, or
kresol. These are all similar prod
ucts, called by different names by
different manufacturers. They are
cresol or tar oil disinfectants, and are
death to mites, while In no way inJuri-
GUS to the chickens.
The time and cost Of carrying out
these suggestions will be amply repaid
by the hens who will show their APP
probation by an increased yield OF
eggs.

Experiments With Swine
Feeding on Alfalfa Hay

In 6. test of methods of fattening
pigs conducted by the New Mexico
station, using two lots Of 10 pigs each
on alfalfa hay, one lot was fed full
ration Of ground milo maize and
small quantity of skim milk, while the
other received a limited amount OF
these supplements. The first lot was
ready for market 30 days earlier than
the other In another test with pigs
on alfalfa hay, one lot was fed mix
ture of milo maize and mesquite beans
(2:1), and the other lot had a full
ration of ground milo maize. The re-
suits indicate that with pork at 10
cents a pound, milo maize $1.50 per 100
pounds. and alfalfa hay 80 cents per
hundred pounds, mesquite beans are
worth $1.3O per 100 pounds. Some
difficulty was experienced in getting
the beans properly ground for the,
pigs. This was best accomplished by
grinding the beans and the grain to-
gether in the proportions wanted.

Determine Profit From
Sow by Size of Litter

The profit from the SOW is deter
mined by the number Of pigs she
raises. If 1t costs $50 to feed a SOW
and litter Of ten pigs from breeding to
weaving time, the cost per pig is only
SO, and If there are only six pigs, the
cost will be S. per pig. OF course
there are many things that may cause
the loss Of pigs before weaving, but
ordinarily the SOW that farrows the
good litter Is the SOW that raises the
most pigs and makes the most profit.
The number Of pigs sow farrows In
determined by the number Of ova, or
eggs, she deposits at breeding time. It
is generally admitted that sows that
are gaining in weight and are in fair
condition deposit more ova and far
row larger, stronger filters. However,
it is not necessary or desirable to have
the sow fat, because excessive fat
hinders the proper functioning Of the
sow's regenerative organs.

Young Cockfeburs Most
Dangerous to Porkers

Fields infested with cockleburs
should not be used for grazing pigs
in the spring when cockleburs are
sprouting, advises A. L. Ward, swine
husbandman extension service A. & M.
college of Texas.
The most dangerous time is just as
the cockiebur plant pushes up through
the surface of the soil. The pigs like
these young sprouts, which contain a
poisonous substance which results IA
tally If eaten in sufficient quantities.
Experiments have proved that Il
ounces Of these sprouts contain suf-
ficient poison to kill 50-pound shoat.
Death usually results quickly, some
what like sorghum poisoning of cattle
When pigs are first affected the en-
tire bunch should be removed to dry
lot for short time, where they should
be given whole milk, grease or lard
The surest preventive is to keep pigs
from fields infested with burs until
the plants reach height Of four to
six inches. The plants at this stage
lose the poisonous properties.

DOOR COUNTY WARS
ON GRASSHOPPERS

Door county has declared war, a
war of determination on the grass
hoppers.
Grasshoppers for number Of years
have caused heavy losses to farmers
in the Green Bay country. This sea-
son Peninsular farmers have Joined in
a cooperative effort to wipe out the
pests and prevent further damage
this year, and for years to come.
Poison bait is the weapon selected
for the fight Arrangements have
been made for the towns to furnish
the material and distribute it under
the direction Of A A. Granovsky of
the wisconsin College of Agriculture.
The infested areas will be poisoned
at least twice and more times If neces-
sary.
The sawdust formula which has
proved effective and cheap in pre-
vious years will be used. 1t is as fol-
lows: Sawdust, 85 pounds; white
arsenate, five pounds; salt, five
pounds; water, to moisten; and shorts,
10 pounds.
The first three Of these ingredients
are mixed dry; then the water is
added and the shorts are later mixed
in well. More water is added If nee
essary.
While Door county will have the
big campaign of the season, other
parts of the state are expected to
poison local areas Of Infection. Many
localities which suffer more or less
damage every season have found that
it pays to poison when the hatch Of
grasshoppers is large.

Soy Beans Superior as
Substitute for Tankaoe

At the Purdue Qnd.) experiment sta
tion soy beans have been substituted
for tankage with very good results.
However, when soy beans are fed, a
mineral mixture should be fed. Several
may be used. The one which was used
at Purdue YVES 10 parts wood ashes,
10 parts acid phosphate, one part salt.
Other good mineral mixtures are
equal parts Of wood ashes and salt,
equal parts of limestone, salt and
bonemeal or rock phosphate.
Soy beans contain about one-half
the amount of protein which tankage
does, SO should be fed in about twice
the amount of tankage, perhaps three
fourths to a pound per head per day.
The wheat does not need to be ground
so finely provided 1t is soaked for a
few hours. Soy beans are worth about
two-thirds per ton as much as tank
age.
