Capon Production Shows
Big Increase in Profits

The practice Of caponizing chickens
Is becoming a popular and profitable
one among the farmers Of South Da-
kota. Clara NJ. Suffer, poultry spe-
cialist at the South Dakota State COL
lege, reports that more than $4,000
birds were caponized. in the state last
year.
AS an illustration Of the value Of
caponizing, the cockerels that are to
be marketed, Miss sSutter cites the in
stance Of a Grant county farmer who
witnessed one of her demonstrations.
Returning home, he performed the op-
GRAFTON on 40 of his birds. When he
sold his surplus in January he was in
formed by his local dealer that capons
were bringing q cents a pound while
cockerels were selling for only IA
cents. In addition, the capons weighed
from one to two pounds more than the
cockerels. The practice of caponizing
Is very simple, according to Miss SUIT
ter, and can be performed by anyone
who has the necessary instruments
and who has been shown the proper
methods.

QUAKE ROCKS z
MONTANA CITIES
Three Forks Hardest Hit, Shaken
2 Minutes-SIight Damage
Results.

Helena, Mont. Mother Earth
rumbled inwardly throughout south
western Montana, shaking more than a
dozen cities and towns.
Helena, Butte, Great Falls, Manhat-
tan. Three Forks, Trident, Willow
Creek, Bozeman and Livingston were
among the cities reporting definite
quakes. Only minor damage was re-
ported in any section.
The record shock, the weather bu-
reau announced, began with a slight
tremor which increased in strength
and violence with a north to south
movement.
The quake was most pronounced at
Three Forks where 1t lasted for two
minutes.
At Manhattan and Three Forks, peo'
pie rushed into the streets as bricks
began topping from the ruins OF chin
neys left by former quakes.
Although the quake at Great Falls
lasted but few seconds, 1t was COM

FORD SUBMITS BID FOR SHIPS

Washington-The shipping board re-

man O'Connor by w. B. Mayo, chief
engineer for the manufacturer.
The proposal was the first received
since the board rejected the recon-

Fleet corporation for acceptance OF
the $1,37O.O00 bid of the Boston Iron
& Metal Co., Of Baltimore, opened
June 30, with 10 others. and ordered
resumption Of the negotiations for sale
of the ships with the aim Of obtaining
a higher offer.
While details of the Ford bid which
was turned over to President Palmer
were not made public, Chairman
O'COnnor said it was way over" that
of the Boston Iron & Metal Co. and
contained conditions permitting resale
Of engines and other equipment of the

Contrasting Is

Associations Now Throwing
Light on Production of

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Seven hundred and thirty-two stars
aow adorn map Of the United States
In the office of the bureau Of dalrying
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. These stars represent the
lumber Of cow-testing associations now
throwing light on the milk and butter
tat production Of 307,073 cows. Thou
sands Of dairymen have watched with
interest the growth Of the testing Idea
from the time the first star was placed
on the map In 1905 to the present, with
1872 stars marking the progressive dairy
communities.
Like Chart Of Heavens.
This map, says the bureau, may be
Iikened to q chart of the starry heav-
ems in the early evening. As the stars
begin to appear one by one, then
more rapidly, and finally in clusters In
every part Of the skies, SO have the
cow-testing associations appeared, first
one by one, then more rapidly, and
now in groups in various parts Of the
United States.
To carry this analogy still further:
The Newaygo county (Mlch.) associ-
alton, the first to be organized In the
United States, may represent the eve
ming star, which Is the first to come
out. The big associations Of our west
ern coast may represent the largest
planets. Other smaller but no less
worthy associations may be thought of
as stars of various magnitudes. Some
Of the more brilliant associations may
be likened to Mercury, Venus, and
Mars, but 1t requires no wild flight
Of the Imagination to detect the milky
way in that great group Of contrasting
associations that extends in long and
graceful curve from the Dakotas
through the upper stretches Of the
Mississippi and st. Lawrence valleys
then across the Alleghenies to the
eastern shores Of New England.
Cows Now on Test.
In these associations IL per cent OF
our dairy cows are now on test. Az
the years roll round 1t Is hoped, says
the department, that more and more
cows may be placed on test, and that
finally every dairyman may become q
member Of a wide-awake contrasting
association. Then will the analogy OF
the stars and the associations be com
| plete.

Study of Cost of Farm
Power Made by Purdue

In a study Of the cost Of farm power
made by the Purdue university agri-
cultural experiment station In Tippe-
canoe county, Indiana, 1t was found
on summarizing the records from
IS farms for three years, that
on the third Of the farms where
horse labor was used most etfi-
GENTLY, each horse cared for 25.5
acres of crops; that ION a second
third of the farms, which had only
average labor efficiency, each horse
cared for 20.5 acres Of crops; and that
on the remaining third Of the farms
with less than average labor efficiency,
each horse cared for only 1853 acres
Of crops. Farmers, generally, who were
above the average, got 80 per cent
more service from their horses than
did the farmers who were below the
average.

Prevent Swarming
by Providing Shade
Protection Is Essential on
Very Hot Days.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Protection Of the hives and supers
from the direct rays of the sun during
the hottest part Of the day should de-
crease the tendency Of bees to swarm,
according to bulletin Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Covers made Of a single thickness OF
lumber, if unprotected, may cause
great discomfort to the bees and may
compel them to leave the supers dur
ing the heat Of the day, which Is a
condition favorable to swarming.
To prevent this, shade boards large
enough to project beyond the edges OF
the hive may be used over the covers.
These should be adjusted with one
edge even with the north side OF the
hive so that the extra width projects
on the south side. There should be
space between the hive-cover and the
shade board to permit circulation OF
air. The double covers, which have
an air space between the inner and
outer parts, afford more protection
from the suns rays than do single COW
ers, but these do not shade the sides
Of the supers.
The hives, supers, and covers should
be painted white. This better reflects
the suns rays. If no shade board Is
used, the covers should be reprinted
frequently. 1t Is to be expected that
the tendency to swarm will be greater
when dark or weather-beaten hive COW
ers are used than when the covers are
newly painted white, unless shade
boards are used over them.

Scratch Feed for Hens

Not over one-third Of the scratch
feed should be fed In the morning,
with the other two-thirds fed in the
afternoon. This will allow the hens
to fill their crops before going to

fore the hens all Of the time. The

courage them to eat more of the mash,

Best Depth for Flowing
Various Kinds of Soils

How deep Is it profitable to pillow? At
the Illinois experiment station, results
Of blowing tests carried on for several
years were recently published. The
tests were made in gray silt loan ON
tight clay In Marion and Cumberland
counties and on brown silt loan In
Champaign county.
Less than five inches was considered
as shallow, between five and eight
inches medium and more than eight
inches, deep blowing. When it cost
$3.50 to pillow an acre seven inches
deep, it cost SIS an acre to subsoil and
81 an acre to deep till. 1t required
four horses to pull subsoll pillow and
six to pull the deep tillage machine. In
Cumberland county a two-plow tractor
was used for two years to pull the
deep tillage machine, and it was over
loaded.
The difference in the average yields
on fields receiving the various treat
ments was so small as to entirely lack
significance. These results check ex.
actly with a similar Ohio experiment
The authors of that experiment state
that the yields from the various fields
were practically identical and in view
Of the expense involved, the seven-inch
blowing was by far the most profitable
The use Of dynamite on soils having
an impervious subsoil did not material
ly increase yields while the cost was
high. When charges were placed al
intervals Of one rod each way and one
| third of a stick used for each shot, the
cost ran around $40 to $25 an acre with
dynamite at 80 cents a pound.

One Cause of Bloat

When cattle have eaten lot of salt

they are apt to drink large amount

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COTT TO RUTH BURKE.
Ruth, Dear;
1t was so sweet of you to wire
me about Bee. I loved her very
much, and shall miss her, but not
as much as 1 would have done If
she had died before her marriage.
Since she went away to California,
you, know, have not seen much
of her.
My life has been so full that I
have not written her often. She.
however, wrote me a very heart
vealing letter a few weeks before
the little girl whose birth caused her
daeth, was brought into the world
by a Caesarian operation.
Sally has written me a letter with
some surprising news in it. 1t seems
that Bee was extremely anxious for
Dick and Paula Perrier to marry as
soon after her death as would be
permitted by the conventions.
l wonder why it is, Ruth. that
some people want to arrange the
lives of others even after they them
selves are dead. Poor, dear Bee was
always the one we went to as girls,
and she arranged things for us. I'm
afraid she carried that idiosyncracy
little too far when she introduced
1t into her married life.
I expect you have seen the ac-
count in the papers of Melville Sar-
toris' sensational and spectacular
luncheon that he gave Jack and me
on board his jacht at Atlantic City.
It's quite a long story, dear, 6ut I
think 1t will bear writing to you. 1t
could only nave been done by man
with gorgeous Imagination and UNI
limited money.
1t all began at my party in Albany,
or rather the next day at luncheon
given to Jack at the hotel by some
of his men friends In one Of those
silly after-d:nner speeches something
was said by enc Ct the men about
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-08-08

the Unsuitable curiosity Of women,
and Jack Immediately at the end of
the speech remarked to Mr.. Saftoris
that did not have any curiosity at
all. He added he did not think I
would ever question anything he
said to me.
Mr.. Sartoris rather took exception
to this, and said he thought he could
awake my curiosity if Jack would
enter into the plot with him. Ac-
cordingly the plan was made be-
tween Jack and sgd Carton and Mr..
Sartoris. 1t was ultimately carried
out to perfection, although at one
time Jack came near to throwing
the whole thing overheard.
In accordance with the plan made
by the three men, Melville Sartoris
wired me that he was coming to
town, and that he would like as to
dine with him that night at the
Travellers Club. Also, I was to in
vite any Of my friends that I choose
up to thirty to lunch with him the
next day on his yacht
Of course. before this Mr. Sartoris
had wired Jack. and he had invited
a lot OF our friends himself, telling
them the luncheon was to be given
at the Travellers Club, after which
we were all to take passenger aero
planes over to Atlantic City, where
the yacht was moored. Then we
were to have dinner, and board a
private car for home.
Doesn't that sound like a wonder.
full party, Ruth?
The catch in the whole thing, of
course, was that l would accept 1t
all without question, never asking
how Mr.. Sartoris could give a lunch
con onA board his great sea going
yacht in an inland city, and I would
not even ask anything about the ar
engagements.
