POSTUM CEREAL PROFITS

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-During July
August and September of this year the
Postum cereal company's net profits
were $1,416,306. This is an increase
of 100000 over the same period last
year.
The Postum company was started
by the late Charles Post of Battle
Creek, Mich. He was moving
spirit in the National Citizens Al
lance, one of the first anti-union
organizations of a national scope in
this country.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. g.
Employment is increasing through
out the United States along with the
quickening of industrial and general
business activities. More jobs are
open to workers than was the case a
month and two month ago.
The employment curve showed a
slight upturn in August, according to
a nationwide investigation by the
United States Department of Labor.
September brought large gain, the
official records show. Approximately
two and two-tenths per cent more

persons were on the payroll in Sep
TENDER than in July, according to the
Labor Department.
The employment index struck the
years lowest point in July. From
March to July the demand for work
ers was on the decline. At no time
this year has the demand for workers
been equal to that of 1928, which was
a record year. In March the payrolls
contained the names of SO per cent
as many persons as the average month
of 1923. In July 1924, the proper
ton was about 85 per cent of the
average month of 1923.

1st Member for Freder;ksted Town

Il seems to me that the changes are ab-
s~olutely necessary and would, no doubt,
meet with the approval of the Council.
LlncOln'S Birthday is one Of the holidays
tn 1t should be celebrated on tlis island.
| don't want to 20 into details of the life

one of the abIest Presidents that ever sat
in the White House. The jcOlured people
all over the world have a great respect
for Lincoln. This is an iSlaud with an
overwhelming majority of c0lJred people
and we should have some respect for
Lincoln. In a sense it is proper to eX-
clude the IL day of January and on the
other hand it is not proper, because the
18th day Of January is the day which the
people were gi ven to declare rneir lnten-
ion of retaining their citizenship in Den
mark or be considered citizens of the
United States. 1t is a farce 10 have that

which marks when We crossed from the

this day on the list Of our legal holidays.
Some OF my colleagues might say that va
snould have all the days of the week as
legal holidays, but there is something ia
tae lite of the people that IS dearer 10
them than anything else. 1t seems to me
that while we are changing this law the
revision should be in keeping vita the
wishes Of the community. When this
bill was being legislated on, a number Of
DAYS that the people were accustomed to
have as legal holidays were struck out.
Take Holy Thursday, that was struck
out. The people of this community have
a strict adherence to religion and to reli.
gious customs, Holy Thursday was a
holiday on this island and don't think

ing people of this island, have not yet
been affiliated with the working people

Many farmers have cellars that
now contain piles of sacks of pota-
toes, all rotten, sacks and all, and
constituting a wet, foul mass that
helps to decay the tubers and men,
aces the crop to be stored. After
cleaning out all the rubbish the cell
ar should be fumigated with the
following:
For each 1000 cubic feet of space
use 10 ounces of formaldehyde and
5 ounces of potassium permangan-
ate. Pour the formaldehyde over
the permanganate in a deep contain
er and then leave the cellar i'm
mediately, because the gas is given
of at once. Carefully seal all the
cracks and openings. Keep closed
for half day or over night, then
open and ventilate thoroughly.
Whitewash is also salutary, and
should be mixed with formaldehyde
solution.

Preparing For Exhibit
At Chicago Seed Show

The international grain and hay
show, which is to be held at Chicago
November 20 to December 6, is in
conjunction with the international
livestock exposition, said C. B. ALL
son, field agronomist and state seed
expert of the university of Idaho
extension department, in an article
on the seed show. Idaho has been
represented by an educational ex-
hibit for the past three years, he
said. 1t is recognized by all that
the improvement of livestock and
crops go hand in hand and an oppor-
tunity is hereby provided for the
forces of American and Canadian
farms to work together, the article
states, and continues:
The increased interest on the part
of the farmers in various states and
Canada is evident by the increase in
exhibitions from year to year. The
number of entries for the five past
years are 1919, 1900; 1920, 1900;
1921, 1912; 1922, 4039; 1928,
5049.
In addition to the contests and ex-
hibits of the best farm products the
grain and hay show is an education

partment of agriculture places a

Idaho has been represented at the
show with its inception. During
the past four years the growers OF
this state have won in international
competition As per cent of all the

Idaho farmers are urged to pre-
pare exhibits for competition with
the world. An average of approx
mately 100 entries have been made
each year.
The following classes should be
well filled by Idaho producers. The
premiums offered make the farmers
efforts we'll worth while. The size
of the samples are, 10 ears of corn,

Of grain, field peas and beans, four
quarts small seeds and at least SO

Increase The Selling
Price of Farm Horses

II have just finished buying 157
head of draft horses in Iowa." said
David Kahn, one of the best known
horse dealers in New York City. "a
have been after horses that stand
1611 hands or over, that will weigh
100 pounds or over in working
condition. A very large proportion
of the horses 1 have seen lack size
because of lack of feed when they
were young. l wish every farmer
in the west could realize that it is ex-
pensive economy to neglect foals,
yearlings and two-year-olds.
MANY horses that l refused to
consider were from sires and dams
that l know have plenty of size," he
continued, "and were raised by the
same farmers from whom l pur-
chased fine drafty animals several
years ago. I have seen colts that
would have developed into $3.50
geldings If they had been fed out,
that / could not afford to purchase
at $3.50 now because they lacked
size.
"FOalS should learn to eat grain
before they are weaned and should
have little grain, say or pounds
per day from weaving time until
turned out on pasture as yearlings.
II the pasture is good, yearlings will
not need grain between ~ and Is
months of age, but they should have
good shelter to run under, a fair
amount of celan clover or alfalfa
hay and or pounds of grain per
day during the second winter when
they are rising two-year-olds. This
will keep them growing steadily un-
til "a months old. They will not
need grain from that time until 80
months of age, if pasture is good.
"They should then be broken to
harness and fed grain while worked
lightly during the winter and spring,
when developing from 80 to SO
months Colts grown out in this
way will acquire practically full
height at SO months, will weigh
within 800 pounds of their mature
weight and are ready for use on the
farm during their third year. From
this time on they more than earn
their keep, but should be sold be-
fore they are years old, as and
s year old horses command the
highest prices"

on reasonable terms. Those pio.
neers who found it necessary to pro.
cure loans from their banks with
which to purchase dairy cows have
since paid of their obligations and
are now collecting interest instead OF
paying 1t.
An example is cited in the August
issue of publication issued by a
land and lumber company In Michi-
gan. Mention is made of the pur-
chase OF 3S good purebred and grade
Holstein cows which we're purchased
last spring. Each COW in this herd
OF milk and 1926 pounds of butter
of 40 cents a pound the income from
mean gross profit of approximately
$3.50 for each COW.
The editor of this publication fig
ures that the average cost of cows
in this herd is $3.50. The tax on the
value of such COW would be Sc and
interest at seven per cent would
amount to $1,000, a total for both
of $16.50. This would leave $133-
SO over and above the taxes and in
terest if the yearly herd income
averaged $3.50 per COW. Feed and
hired help would take part Of that,
but much of this cost would be taken
care of by the value of the skim
milk, manure and calves dropped
At any rate there would be nest
egg left to put in the savings bank,
and instead of paying the bank in
terest the COW will make the bank
pay her interest.

Dairy Cows Make Bank
Pay Interest On Cash

The upper peninsula of Michigan
is fast becoming a prosperous agri-
cultural section since the advent of
the dairy COW. Thousands of acres
of waste cut-over lands have in the
past few years been converted into
fertile farm fields. This transition
from numbering industry is due
largely to the cooperation of the
banks and the lumber companies
themselves who have assisted farm
ers in making start by loaning
them money and selling them land
