WhiteWash for Henhouse
Brightens Up Interior

A coat of whitewash or cold water
white paint on the inside walls Of
the hen house will brighten up the
interior and make it lighter during
the winter months when the hen needs
all the light she can get.
The Nebraska Agricultural college
recommends the following method Of
making whitewash: Slack a half
bushel of quicklime or lump lime with
boiling water, keeping 1t covered dur
ing the process. Strain It and add
a peck of salt dissolved in warm wa
ter, three pounds of ground rice
boiled in water until it is thin paste,
half pound of powdered Spanish
whiting, and pound of clear blue
dissolved in water. Mix these to-
gether well and let the mixture stand
for several days. Heat it and apply
as hot as possible with a whitewash
brush. Alum added to whitewash will
make it stick better. Use an ounce to
q gallon. Molasses makes the lime
more soluble and makes it penetrate
wood or plaster more deeply. Use a
pint of molasses to gallon of white
wash. A pound of cheap bar soap
dissolved in a gallon of boiling water
and added to five gallons Of thick
whitewash will give the finished job
gloss like that of an oil paint.

Diseases of Potato
Cause Great Loss
Several Methods of Treating
Seed Have Been Tried.

Potato scab, black scurf, and black
leg cause a tremendous annual loss
to the potato growers. AS resultof
this serious loss several methods Nave
been tried and found to be successful,
but the method which is taking best in
the potato growing regions is the hot
formaldehyde-dip method. ~
This method has the advantage OF
requiring only two and one-half min
utes for completion of the treatment
with a given lot Of potatoes, as COM
pared with the two hours required
by the corrosive sublimate method.
Time is the pressing need in the
spring of the year and time is what
the hot formaldehyde-dip method
saves. =.
Briefly the treatment If this: Soak
the seed potatoes for two and one
half minutes in q solution of one pint
of 40 per cent formaldehyde to 15
gallons of water, held at tempera-
ture Of 125 degrees Fahrenheit, after
which the potatoes are covered for
two hours. In case the potatoes are
treated in sacks, these furnish suf-
ficient covering to make the treatment
effective. In treating seed potatoes in
large quantities the amount Of dip
can be greatly increased, by keeping
the proportions the same.

For Unsoiled Eggs Keep
Feet of Chickens Clean

The market wants clean eggs and
it wants them produced clean, not
washed.
This requirement can be met only
when the nests and the hens feet are
kept clean, says the poultry depart
ment of the New Jersey State College
of Agriculture at New Brunswick. It
is easy to have clean nests, for it SIM
ply means changing the nesting ma
terial when it becomes soiled.
Close watch and care must be taken
to see that none of the birds get into
the habit of roosting on the edge Of
the nests at night. 1t is well to make
a trip into the poultry house after
dark and see that no birds are roost-
ing on the nests. This is very impor-
tant when pullets are first put into
the laying quarters. Such habit
makes new nests dirty in one night,
and that means that all eggs from the
dirty nests are dirty.
Keep the birds feet clean by pro-
viding plenty of clean litter on the
floor. This is the doormat upon which
the birds wipe their feet. -.
When the weather is rainy and the
ground muddy do not let the birds out,
because they will come in and go to
the nest where several clean eggs have
been laid and smear them with the
wet mud in spite of the litter on the

Value Of Pumpkins for
Dairy Cows and Swine

Pumpkins are quite frequently used
for both cows and hogs. The only ex-
detrimental evidence from any college
in this country is from Vermont, where
in feeding trials with dairy cows one
ton of pumpkins, including the seeds,
was found to be equal to $50 to 400
pounds of hay or 800 pounds of silage.
These figures indicate that pump
kins have a relatively low feeding
value and, should not constitute a
very large part of the ration, particu-
larly for heavy milking cows. The
seeds of pumpkins have considerable
nutriments and should be fed with the
rest of the pumpkins.

New Variety of
Dasheen Is Out
Sacramento of Greater Uni

Than Trinidad.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A new variety of dasheen, the
Sacramento, which has been under OBJ
servation and test by the United
States Department Of Agriculture for
several years and was distributed two
years ago, is being marketed this sea-
son for the first time. The greater
uniformity of the tubers in size and
shape not only makes the Sacramento
easier to prepare for market, but gives
it higher value than the Trinidad
variety now generally grown.
Third Starchy Vegetable.
The development of the dasheen in
dustry has given the people of the
United States third distinctly
starchy vegetable that is home grown.

REAL ROMANCE IN
CANADIANS RISE
Dunning Enters Cabinet "a
Years After He Was
Apprentice.

Toronto, Ont.-Twenty-four years
ago Charles Dunning, who has just
entered the Canadian government,
was q holders apprentice in foun-
dry In England. He was then sick
ly youth of seventeen and had been
working since he was eleven. His doc
tor told him he was committing sui
eide to stay in a foundry. So he
bought passage to Canada, came to
Saskatchewan, and got job as hired
man."
+. A farmer tried him out. At the end
of the month the hired man was dis
charged. T.
"What'u I do?" asked Dunning.
j go back to England" said the
farmer.
But Dunning didn't. He hired out
to another farmer.
At the end of year the boy who
had been fired from his first job de-
cided he knew enough about farm to
run one of his own. For $40 he got
government and was launched on an
Independent career.
Cummings entry into the Canadian
government may well turn out to be
an event of prime Importance. Dun
ming is aggressive, fearless and am
bilious. He is an organizer. His pol
icies are said to be radical. He is
uncompromisingly for a low tariff.
PrOtectiOnists picture his advent into
federal politics as an offense to east
ern Canada. Western Canada re-
CARDS him as a probable future pre-
mier.
Dunning, if he lives up to advance
notices, will either make or break the
government. His resignation of the
premiership of Saskatchewan to go to
. Ottawa is the first important step
promising an early break in present
deadlock conditions that has been TAX
en- since the elections last October.
His Life Is a Romance.
Cummings private career is a ro-
nance. When he homesteaded in 1903
his first crop was trivial. On the long
trail to market with his first load of
wheat he met a neighbor returning.
The trail was narrow and Cummings
load was overturned. While they were
trying to recover it Dunning learned
that the elevators were paying only 80
cents for wheat. He left his wheat in
the ditch and turned his oxen home
ward. Is
The incident marked the beginning
In Cummings mind of an agitation
which has revolutionized marketing
and perhaps political conditions in

western Canada.

western Canada.
Seven years later the grain grow,
ers' movement was under way. A con-
vention was called. Dunning was Sc
lected as delegate from Beaverdale, on
condition that he could keep his ex-
penses down to $3.50. He got hotel
accommodation-the janitor's bunk in
the basement-by helping to stoke the
furnace and thus saved part of his
$3.50.
At the convention he made speech.
He was elected director of the Sas-
katchewan Grain Growers association.
Next year he was made first secre-
tary of the Saskatchewan Co-Opera-
tive Elevator company and by 1913 he,
was general manager of the PROVINCES
cooperative marketing organization.
The government sent him to Europe to
investigate credits and rural condi-
tons generally. Thereafter he was
recognized as one of Canada's fore
most authorities on grain growing and
marketing. During the war he was
made director of food production in
Canada.
Elected to Legislature.
In the midst of his activities in the
grain-growing organizations Dunning
was elected to the legislature and was
made a member of the provincial gov
eminent, holding in succession several
portfolios. When Premier Martin went
to the bench four years ago Dunning,
only thirty-seven years old, became
premier of Saskatchewan.
At Ottawa Dunning is to be minis
ter of railways. In sense he will be
Sir Henry Thornton's boss. And he
will be responsible to the public for
Canada's national railway system.
A feature of Cummings career is
that, although he was in the forefront
of the farmers movement on the Co
operative side, he would never have
anything to do with the farmers po-
litical movement. He always re-
NAMED a liberal. Thus, while old con-
servative provinces like Ontario in a
stampede elected a farmer govern
ment, Saskatchewan never had any
thing but q liberal government.

The Democrats do not care when

They would like nothing better than

nothing of ma ior importance besides

World Court Issue.
Whether the ratification of the
World Court protocol can be called
an achievement depends on the point
of view, but this and the tax bill
have been the two most conspicuous
measures of the session thus far.
Many vital projects are in the COM
rnittee stage, and some Will cause
political eruption if left unacted upon.
Take for instance the bills to pro

seems to be an abundance of support
but inexplicable delays in passage.
The railroads say publicly they are for

but it is moving very slowly through
Congress and may be lost in the
shuttle when the jam starts.
It seems certain now that there
will be furry on prohibition legisla-

PROPOSES BUREAU
FOR SUPPORT OF

Suggests Plan Similar to

Commission.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Two
new methods OF aiding cotton farm.
ers were suggested here today.
Representative Elmer Thomas,
oklahoma. Senator-elect, proposed
the creation of a farmers board to
operate along the lines of the inter
state commerce commission, the
railway labor board and the Federal
trade commission.
"The only way the farmer can be
helped is by control of production, 3"
said Thomas. And such control
can only be brought about by estab-
fishing a Government board, which,
working with the farmer. can evolve
a system that will be effective.
IF this cannot he done for the
farmer, then these other Federal
agencies, serving other particular
groups, must be dissolved"
Representative Blanton, Texas, an
nounced he would urge a $4,000 APP
preparation to enable the bureau of
standards to seek new commercial
uses for cotton mills. Hulls now
bring only 81 or SIS a ton. as stock
food.
''Dr. S. f. Acres of the University
OF Texas" said Blanton, has been
experimenting for some time in an
effort to use these hulls in the manu-
facture Of wood pulp. Director Bur
CESS of the bureau of standards is in
tensely interested and will ask for a
$4,000 appropriation to explore the
possibilities.
Blanton recited the development of
the cotton seed oil industry. This
industry, which in 1925 yielded lie.

in the case of schools and churches.
During the war, such operations
were held back. Today the country
