The Romance of TRANSPORTATION

"The Covered Wagon" a moving pic
ture, grips the heart, thrills the imagina-
ton, and inspires the respect and rever-
ence of every American citizen who
sees it for the hardy pioneers who
blazed the trail in settling this great
country.
What a romance it is, and how faith
fully it depicts the hardships of trans
portation of several decades ago! What
a marvellous advance has occurred
since, and how gratifying it is to reflect
that the descendants of these old
pioneers were and are the creators of
the modern transportation vehicles we
use today!,
Railroads, both steam and electric,
electric railways, and gas driven auto
mobiles, airships, and trucks, accom-
plishments by American men within
three generations, are the romance of
American transportation.
The covered wagon illustrated
above, built by John Studebaker in
1880, Is now in the Studebaker museum
at South Bend. John Mohler Stude-
baker, his son, wagon-builder and
blacksmith, with his brothers Henry
and Glenn, built covered wagon in
1862 with which he joined a wagon
train for California in search of gold.
This wagon was one of the train which
arrived at old Hangtown (now Placer
ville) in August, 1853, in good condi-
don.

John Mohler Studebaker renounced
gold mining to build wheelbarrows for
miners and repair stage coaches, which
tasks he followed for five wears. Re-
turning to South Bend in 1858, he
invested his savings of $4,000 in the
firm of H. & C. Studebaker, and for
forty-five years supervised the building
Of Studebaker wagons and carriages.
He was a master builder.
The covered automobile illustrated
below is one example of Stud ebaker
products of today. 1t is built by men
who cherish the ideals Of the Stude-
baker brothers and seek to add luster
to the name. 1t is striking illustration
of the part Studebaker has played in
the romance and development of trans
portation vehicles. 1t represents the
supreme accomplishm of the present
day, and stands out as quality product
of the first order. 1t provides adapta-
bility, comfort, and luxury, at moder-
ate price made possible by the facilities
of the $50,000,000 of manufacturing
plants in which it is built.
The broad principle upon which
Studebaker business has prospered for
seventy-two years, now grounded upon
tradition, insures satisfaction to every
body who deals with the House of
Studebaker.

Pure Bred Sires of One
Breed Give Best Results

No hard and fast rules car be laid
down as to how and where to buy
good herd sires. 1t is a good plan for
the beginner to get the advice and as
sistance of an experienced Judge be-
fore making a purchase. Not every
pure bred or registered sire is a good
one; culls appear in the best herds.
Most county agents and high school
agricultural teachers are good stock
judges, or at least have sufficient
knowledge OF breeds and herds TO en-
able them to render valuable assist
ance in selecting stock. The better
class of breeders will assist a new ma
to get a start by giving him good value
for his money.
Pure bred sires give best results
when always Of n breed. Judicious
cross-breeding may give good results
for market feeding, but when cross.
bred females are saved for breeding
purposes their offspring do not have
that uniformity of type and form
that is so desirable in market stock.
This Is only obtained by continuing
one line Of breeding.

Guard GroUing
at Rate of 1900 q Month

At the present time the National
Guard has an aggregate strength OF
166, 900 men. which is increasing at
the rate of 1900 a month. In the win
ter months the increase is slow, but
just prior to the training season this
increase Is greatly augmented. BY
June 30, 1924, the bureau expects 49,
600 men to be enrolled in the guard,
and by June 30, 1925, 1t Is expected the
National Guard will number 100000
men, and In 1925 averaging 10000.
A study reveals the fact that the 1925
estimate of $30,577 ,940, which is al
lowed by the budget bureau, is not suf-
fcient to provide for the training and
activities of these 10000 men during
the fiscal year Of 1925. Although only
an Increase of $763, 800 for all National
Guard activities allowed by the budget
bureau over the 1924 appropriations.
the strength Of the National Guard
will be increased over this period by

States Seek Data on
Amount of Came Killed

Minnesota and New York were pio-
neer states In inaugurating systems TO
ascertain the amount OF game killed
each year. Today a score OF more Of
the state game departments are striv-
ing TO collect this important data. The
compilation OF such data gives a very
good idea Of game conditions In the
different states. BY reading the tabu-
lated results from the census Of game
killed you can also arrive at a pretty
accurate conclusion as to the efficiency
Of the game departments Of thess
states in years gone by.
From a Denver dispatch we learn
that 1t Is estimated that GOO deer were
killed In Colorado last year. In the
same paper comes q report from New
Jersey that $50 Virginia deer were
killed In that state the past season,
When you compare the areas of Colo
RADIO and New Jersey, when you think
Of the difference in density of popula.
ton and also consider the amount OF
territory In each suitable for deer, you
cannot help but realize that Colorado
has been negligent in the past in the
care of her game.

Tomato Fertilizer Tests
Give Convincing Results

Results of three years work with
fertilizers on tomatoes have just been
published by the New Jersey expert
ment station. Yields produced with
p different complete fertilizers, each
containing a total Of over Is per cent
plant food ammonia, phosphoric acid
and potash) were compared with each
other and with yields Of unfertllized
tomatoes. The fertilizer was applied
Mt the rate Of 1000 pounds per acre,
400 pounds several days before plant
ing and the balance three weeks after
planting.
During the three-year period. the
combined average yield of the seven
highest yielding plots was II tons Of
tomatoes per acre, As tons more than
the average yield Of the unfertilized
tomatoes. All things considered, q
2-S-6 fertilizer proved the most eco
nomical under the conditions govern
Ing the test.

Vaccination Against Hog
Cholera Is Wisest Plan

AS thee seems to be q considerable
outbreak of hog cholera in the eastern
part of Colorado, a re~iteration Of some
OF the well-known facts of this dis
ease may not be amiss.
Cholera is the most serious disease
cf hogs which we have and the only
one that causes unusually large losses
In all aged animals. 1t is hardly con
ceivable that 50 or 10 per cent Of a
herd Of hogs OF various ages would
be lost from other disease. In
spite Of this there seems to be much
regarding it rs pneumonia, another as
necrotic enteritls, and various other
diseases.
Vaccination OF herds in which the
disease is already widespread is often
disappointing, but vaccination as a pre-
yentive measure Is almost absolute and
will be found profitable. This pro.
cedure is the greatest boon to the hog
raiser which has ever been discovered,
but unless it is used 1t cannot be ex-
pected to be vecy helpful. Everyone
owning hogs in a district where the
disease is known to exist should I'M
mediately vaccinate rather than walt
until the disease attacks the herd.
This will be found excellent and prof
table insurance.. E. NewsOm, de-
partment of pathology, Colorado Agri-
cultural college.

Care of Leather in
Wet Weather Urged
Especially True in Late Win
ter and Spring Months.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
THE care Of your leather equip
ment at all times, but especially during
the wet winter and spring months" is
the recommendation of the leather en-
perts Of the bureau Of chemistry, Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture.
Farmers are the largest users of
leather and they are vitality concerned
in frightening its life. Harness, for
instance, of the proper weight and
grade for the work required, should
last fifteen to twenty-five years If 1t
Is not allowed TO become hard or
harsh, but is kept smooth and flexible
by frequent washing and oiling, and
has been known to last forty years.
The specialists recommend that har-
ness be washed with tepid water and
CASTLE soap, rinsed in tepid water, and
hung up to dry. While still moist it
should be oiled we'll with neat's.foOt
oil or castor oil with q mixture Of
either with wool grease. Driving
belts, machine belts and other leather
articles used by the farmer will also
respond to this ~preSeryative treatment
with increased serviceability and mon
ey will be saved that would otherwise
have to be spent in replacing them if
neglected.
Grease the children's shoes and wa
terproof the soleS so that dampness
cannot enter. Then 1t will no longer
be necessary 20 deny children the
pleasures Of outdoor life during win
ter and spring because Of the possible
danger of colds from wet feet. For
mulas for making boots and shoes wa
ter resistant have been prepared by
the department.

Strawberry Best
for Home Garden
New Plants for Spring Set
ting Can Be Purchased at
- Very Small Expense.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
S~traWberrleS are so easily handled
and require SO little room that If only
one Of the small fruits can be grown
in the home garden they should have
the preference. New plants for setting
out this spring can be purchased at
small cost from a nurseryman, or per-
haps may be obtained free from q
%neighbor. They may be transplanted
from nearby at any time in the season
If surrounded by a ball of earth,
moved carefully and watered well. In
either case, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, the bed
should contain some plants known as
il perfect-blossom variety. otherwise
the plants of the imperfect-blossom va
riety in the bed will not be p~ollinated
anI consequently will not bear fruit.
Two Kinds of Blossoms.
Strawberry blossoms are Of two
kinds. One kind is called perfect,
staminate, or male, and the other kind
imperfect, pistillate, or female. Some
varieties have perfect blossoms and
other varieties have imperfect bios
SONS. Those with perfect blossoms
produce pollen which will fertilize both
perfect and imperfect blossoms and en-
able them to bear fruit. The varieties
with imperfect blossoms cannot set
fruit without receiving pollen from
perfect blossoms.
If both kinds are planted there
should be at least one row of the per-
feCt-blossom variety to four rows with
imperfect blossoms. The nurseryman's
catalogue will specify the kind of bios
sons. Set the plants early in the
spring, if possible, so they will get the
benefit Of the spring rains and make
leaves and ali but one or two live Ones
and cut the roots TO four or five inches
long. Spread the roots somewhat and
set the plants the same depth in the
soil as they were before they were
dug. Be especially careful not to set
them deeper and not to get earth over
the growing crowns, for this will prob
ably kill the plants.
Set Close Together.
The plants may be grown in hills or
in narrow or vide matted rows. For
very small areas, plants set in hills
close together will no doubt produce
the most and largest fruit, but will re-
quire more care than matted rows
For hill growing, set the plants one
foot apart in the row and have the
rows just far enough apart to cultivate
easily, say from two to three feet OF
set two rows a foot apart in double
rows and have a space Of two or three
feet between the double rows. keeI
all unners cut off and give good cul
tivatiOn, so as to make extra strong
plants.

Soy Beans Not Superior
to Alfalfa as Hay CrOp

While soy beans should not be con-
sldered superior to alfalfa for hay,
they may be regarded as a most ex
cellent catch crop to be seeded In the
spring In places where clover or al
falfa have winterkilled, or to be grown
where other legumes have not been
seeded the year before. Then. too.
soy beans will grow on land that is
slightly sour and not well adapted for
the legumes that are especially sus.
ceptible to soil acidity.

Soy Beans Are Excellent
With Corn for Silage

To be grown with corn for hogging
down or to be pastured down with
sheep or to be cut with corn for silage,
there Is no question but soy beans
should be more extensively raised In
every state OF the Union. We should
also grow more soy beans for grain to
be used for cattle and hogs In balanc-
ing feeding rations. The man who
grows his own protein need not buy
so much expensive tankage and other
products rich in the muscle-forming
> dement's.
