Equipment Manufacturers. The rise
Of the Dairy cow, the decreasing fer

of putting back nitrogen, all combine
to favor less timothy and more and
more alfalfa, sweet clover and other

Ohio State university extension de-
partment has figured from Delaware
county farm practices that hand husk-
ing of corn from the shock is waste
full compared to the husker shredder.
"Husking corn by shredder instead of
husking by hand and cribbing increas-
cd the efficiency in the use of man
labor 1913 per cent, according to rec
ords collected in Greene county, 1920
1924 says the extension Rural Eco
Monies Department. In those sctions
OF the country where corn fodder is
cut and shocked, this is an item wor-
thy Of careful study. Exchange labor
with neighbors to cut the cost still
more, and you have a big item worth
saving on 10 or more acres of shock
corn.

Disagree a: to Just
When Man Should Wed

One of those sweet journalists who
civ, y advice To the lOvelorn propOunds
Il. e. u;.ery. What is the best age for
a man to ,.,rry?" And then Of curse,
she answers 1t. and quotes q
noted Psychologist In support Of her
contention. Young men should marry
at the age Of twenty-five. Prior to that
birthday they should resolutely resist
the Establishments and articles of the
faresl charmer. but once the magic
boundary Is passed they need have no
fearS, They are ripe for the mar
ria.e VOWS.
Married men will venture to disagree
with this feminine authority. Since all
Of them are married, more or less, 1t
follows that most Of them have de-
cided opinions on when a young man
ought to abandon bachelOrhOOd and
ASSUME. the marital responsibility. to-
gefher with the furniture contract. II
you put the question to them, how
ever, you would be certain to find a
wide diversity of views about the spe-
cific age for the venture.
They would agree ON this much, we
think, fitting the test to each indi.
vidual The young man should marry
when he is quite sure he can fee the
minister without cheating the landlord.
He should marry when he Is resigned
to the exchange Of gentle bonds of
home. He should marry when he Is
confident that beating carpets and
moving lawns will not mar the perfec-
ton of his dream. And above all, he
shouldn't get married for joke. II
he does he Is almost certain to find
that the joke is on him.-Portland

Kitchen Brigade
of Elks Lodge to
Entertain Ladies

Deciding that they have had
enough experience in the past year
to- pass any examination in the
culinary arts, the 'kitchen bri-
gade' of the FL Centre Lodge of
Elks announced last night that it
is going to observe "ladics night y
on March 10 and will be host at
that time to members of the lodge
and their ladies.
Bert Johnson, chief of the brigade,
made no plea for permission to do
the honors for the women folks,
simply informing officers of the
lodge that the brigade has suffered
in silence during the past year, TAX
ing orders and instructions from
everyone. At last the worms have
turned, he asserted, and the ''bri-
gade' will be boss of the Elks club
on March 10.
In the face of such determination
the officers decided it was useless
as well as dangerous TO oppose the
scullions, so the brigade' is TO
be allowed to have its own way,
and the entire program for "ladies
