Next week, November 1921, is
both National honey week, and Wis
consin honey week. Look for honey
displays in the stores.
Candied Honey
Practically all honeys candy or be-
come solid like butter in cool wealth
er. The one we liquify by heat, the
other we keep in the solid form by
use of ice when at the summer
solstice it fain would be liquid
Why the inconsistency? Bottlers OF
honey thoroughly heat the product
when it remains permanently liquid
but with a loss of flavor.
In the mountains of the far East
ern countries where honey is a
staple, where it has been raised for
generations without number until the
very names of the people signify bee
men, there it is used only in the can
died form. Are they wrong and are
we right in demanding our honey be
in the liquid state?
Recently Wisconsin has placed on
the market in a few places candied
honey in a very attractive and con
venient form. in small cartons. You
will find these in River Falls during
honey week.
Can you better show your loyalty
to your nation and to your state and
to your good health than by taking
home a carton during honey week :?
Take the inner parafined receptacle,
into which the honey ran from the ex-
tractor, from the carton remove it
and slice off the honey as you would
brick of ice cream and serve the
family and the company.

George Fletcher Bailey
A Friend.

George Fletcher Bailey was born in
Green county, Wisconsin, Feb. %,
1857, and passed away at the home
of his son, Arthur, in River Falls,
Wis, at 1890, Nov. 6, 1925, aged 68
years, 8 months and IA days.
There were eleven children in the
home of Hamilton and Sarah Brown
Bailey parents of Mr.. Bailey, but two
survive, James of Bellingham, Wash,
and Lucinda Marsh of Sumas, Wash.
Seven sisters and two brothers to-
gether with his parents have preced-
ed him to the better land.
He was married to Caroline Holtz
at Monroe, Wis, April %, 1879. His
wife and life companion, together
with their two sons, Arthur, of River
Falls, and Walter of Syracuse, N. Y,
and one daughter, Lille Lichten-
walner of Monroe, survive him.
He spent his whole life in Green
county, with the exception of one
year spent in California and the last
six years spent in River Falls.
Since coming to River Falls Mr..
Bailey has made many friends, al
ways of robust health he lived in the
out of door on his farm and took an
active interest in the affairs of the
community and never tried to shirk
responsibility.
From a child of thirteen he had
been definitely connected with the
Christian church, and in nothing did
he take a greater delight than ming
ling with his fellows in the services
of praise and worship. He was
lover of music and took great pleas
ure in lifting his voice with others in
the rendering of sacred song.
On coming to River Falls he united
with the Methodist church and con-
tinued a faithful member of the
same.
In his long weary hours of suffer
ing his religious faith was great
comfort and consolation and as he
realized that his disease was fatal
one he, like St. Paul, was ready and
anxious to depart and to be with
Christ which is far better.
Worn by pain and disease he often
spoke of the peace of God and the
blessed rest which knows no break
ing.
Morn of pain, nor night of waking
"Ah, dear is the spot where christians
sleep,
And sweet the strains which angels
pour,
Oh. why should we in anguish weep,
They are not lost, but gone before.
Where is the victory of the grave?
What dust upon the spirit lies?
God keeps the sacred life He gave,
The Christian never dies"
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. G.. A. Bird at the Arthur Bailey
residence Sunday afternoon. The re-
mains were shipped to Monroe, where
services Were conducted by Rev.
Beiswanger and interment was made
in Greenwood cemetery there.

and they were given a special gold
button. The Scholarships to the
Short Course at Madison next June
were won by Richard Crownhart and
Lois Bartlett, Ellsworth. Both have

Barley Is Unsurpassed
as Legume Nurse Crop

Barley is unsurpassed as a nurse
crop for clovers and alfalfa; 1t is a
better feed than oats for fattening
hogs. sheep and cattle; and since it
is one of the best substitutes for corn,
its early-maturing quality will make
this grain doubly valuable in short
corn summer.
These are the reasons why crop
specialists are advising farmers to
plant barley next spring.
The early-maturing quality of bar
ley gives it a distinct advantage over
oats. This is especially true during
the present corn shortage. The grain
can be threshed about the same time
as wheat eliminating two dressings
and making available a midsummer
grain feed.
Barley is decidedly superior to late
oats as a nurse crop for cloyers and
alfalfa because it shades the ground
less, and by its early maturity leaves
more moisture in the ground for the
young clover.
Chiefly because of its lower percent
age of hulls, barley is a better feed
than oats for tattening hogs, sheep
and cattle. Barley contains more car
bohydrates than either wheat or oats,
has less fat, and contains only one
third as much crude fiber as oats.

Records Tell of
Profits or Loss
Accounts Will Show Wheth-
er Farm Is Making or
Losing Any Money.

The most valuable records that one
can keep on the farm are those that
tell the most about the farm business
and help one to make changes that
will prove most profitable.
1t is very easy to become confused
with an unrelated mass Of figures and
as a result the operator will get no
real benefit from them. There are
some farm records, however, that
every farmer should keep in a clear
and concise manner if he would know
more about his business.
First Inventory.
The first is the inventory which Is
list of everything owned and used
in operating the farm Not only the
number but the values are recorded.
This includes land buildings, all live
stock, equipment, feed and supplies,
what you owe and what other people
owe you.
The second Is record of the farm
receipts. This contains an account of
everything you sell from the farm, the
quantity and the price you receive
for ii.
The third is list of farm expenses
and here you record all money paid
out for the operating of the farm or
the paying of farm debts.
These three records will show
whether the farm is making money or
losing money. They will show where
you get your money and how you
spend it. 1t will undoubtedly empha-
size the Importance of some of the
minor enterprises of the farm, such as
the sale of chickens, eggs, butter, etc.
Inventory Indispensable.
without the inventory 1t is impos-
sible to know whether the farm is get
ting ahead or going back. An increase
or decrease in what you own will show
up here.
Very little time is, required to keep
these records. Those who keep them
declare that this work pays a better
rate per hour than many other opera
lions on the farm.
Do you have an account book this
year? If not, let's hear from you

In Feeding Test Silage
Better Than Legume Hay

Feeding tests recently concluded at
the Iowa agricultural experiment sta
ton showed that steers being fed for
the market made greater gains and
larger profits on a ration of corn and
silage than on ration of corn and
legume hay.
In these tests two-year-old Hereford
steers were used. They were started
on feed November 10, 1924, and the
test ended March Is, 1925, the period
covered being about 120 days.
Shelled corn, corn silage, linseed
meal, alfalfa hay, molasses feed, and
soy bean hay was fed to ten lots Of
seven head each, a different ration be
ing fed to each lot.
The results of the test showed that
the lots on silage ration produced a
margin above feed cost which was uni
formly higher than those fed with a
legume hay ration.
The lot having the highest rating
was fed on ration of shelled corn,
corn silage, linseed meal, and alfalfa
hay. 1t showed a margin above feed
cost of $3.50. The lot having the low
est rating was fed on ration of
shelled corn, molasses feed and alfalfa
hay. 1t showed a loss of $206.
The results Of this test are of value
to every farmer engaged in the pro-
duction of beef because it shows the
high feeding qualities of corn silage.

Clover Lowered Cost of
Producing Pork in Test

A feeding trial was recently con-
Quoted by a Missouri farmer in CO.
operation with the Missouri expert
ment station. One lot of fall pigs
weighing "a pounds per head was
turned into a blue grass pasture and
given corn and linseed meal as grain
ration. Another similar lot was given
a clover pasture and fed corn and
tankage. Here is what happened;
The blue grass lot gained LOT pounds
per head per day for AZ days, while
the clover lot gained 2 pounds a
day for % days. 1t required 6.75
bushels corn and rs pounds linseed
meal to produce 100 pounds Of gain
in the blue grass lot and only g
bushels corn and 2.5 pounds tankage
to make the same gain by the clover
lot
The outstanding fact in this test
was the superiority of clover over blue
grass for rapid as we'll as economical
gains.

Mango in Hogs Causing
Immense Loss to Farmer

Mango in hogs is a parasitic skin
disease that is causing considerable
loss in the corn belt IN general every
year. In some localities there seems
to be more mango this year than usual,
and little, If any effective work is be-
ing undertaken to get rid of 1t.
Mango, of course, does not produce
severe sickness or death, but it does
bring about reduced gains from CIV
en- amount of feed consumed by the
hogs affected by the disease. In addi-
ton to this, the packers place con-
siderably lower valuation on NANCY
hog than on one with healthy skin
This is not surprising to anyone who
has seen carcasses of NANCY hogs at
slaughter houses. The roughened skin
OF NANCY hog gives the carcass a
bad appearance, hence such carcasseS

Bull Associations
Are Quite Popular
Many Organizations Oper-
ating in Pennsylvania.

That bull associations are proving
popular among the dairymen of Penn
sylvania is evidenced by the fact that
at present there are 80 such organiza-
tons operating in 20 counties in the
state, according to E. B. Fits, in
charge of the dairy extension service
at the Pennsylvania State college
These associations own a total of 100
high-quality sires, all with exceptional
production and show records back of
them. Pennsylvania now leads all
states in the number of bull associ-
atiohs.
The newest association to start is
the one in Sullivan county with a
membership of Is farmers. Three ex-
ceptionally servfceable sires were
purchased at 9n average delivered
price just slightly in excess of $500.
This makes a sire investment of $S.13
per COW for six years, which is less
than the previous cost Of scrub sires
where each man owned his own bull.
The quality of these bulls is shown by
the fact that Is Of the p nearest dams
in the three pedigrees have an average
of 1907 pounds of butter in one year.
At a recent meeting Of the Bedford
county association steps were taken to
renew the accredited herd certificates
Of the members so that these herds
may remain tuberculosis free. and two
additional members were elected. The
Clarion county association has just in
creased their organization to five bulls
and arrangements are under way to
exhibit all of them at their annual
field day. Bradford county has had
good results from their association
and even though they purchased their
bulls at the peak of war prices, suf-
fering quite a loss in inventory, the
members voted to raise additional
funds to purchase another new bull
because they feel that their associa-
ton has played a prominent part in
their dairy development.

Cure for insomnia

An Inventor of Macclesfield, Eng

chine that will cure insomnia. The
machine is placed alongside of the bed
and emits light rays of u different
colors, flashing at prearranged periods.
The effect of this combination of col
ors and periodicity is intended to be
soothing and to induce sleep. The
color flashes at such regular intervals
have a peculiar effect upon the retina,
it is said. the inventor maintains he
has cured several stubborn cases of
sleeplessness in ten TO fifteen minutes.
