Running to Win"
Declares Mclean

I'm running to win, and I'm 60
ing to win" said Mayor Ernest L..
Mclean of Augusta, Democratic can
didate for governor, at a luncheon
meeting of the Cumberland County
Democratic Committee at the Fal-
mouth Hotel Wednesday noon. Il
base my assertions upon the fact that
four years ago Augusta went Repub-
lican by 900 votes in September and
in December l was elected by 400
votes. At that time prominent Re-
publicans came to me, offered their
support and kept their word at the
polls. 1 have had that same sup
port offered to me this year. and I'm
sure that I'll get it in September, as
| did four years ago"
Il plan to visit every town possible
in the State, no matter how small
it may be-" he said. People assume
that the smaller towns go Republican,
anyway. OF course they do merely
because they receive no attention
from the Democratic candidates.
That has been one of our big mis-
takes, which l intend to help remedy,
myself, and hope that every other
Democratic candidate will do his part
to rectify."
Mayor Mclean was accompanied
by Mrs. Mclean, who also made a
/ short speech. Mayor McLean's faith
or is seriously i'll, and he showed the
strain of watching with him through
the night.
He asked the committee to help
perfect an organization which will
get every Democratic voter to the
polls in September. advocating the
use of canvass books as a means to
that end. Such books, he said, were
in use some time ago, and were very
effective. He said that every voter
should be listed, whether he be Re-
publican or Democrat, in order that
they may be reached by the Demo-
cratic candidates.
He said that, while his party lacked
the funds of the Republicans, he is
sure that the Democratic spirit in
getting every voter to the polls will
make the campaign a success. He
paid high compliment to the wom-
en- as organization workers.

Proper Storage of Ice
for Simmer Very Simple

1t isn't so much what kind of build
ing the farmer stores his ice in, as
how he packs it.
Storage Of ice for summer use is
I, simpler, than generally believed. A
properly constructed ice house is de-
sirable, but any building affording pro-
lection from wind and rain may be
used.
Proper packing is more important
than the design Of the house. The
two important factors are the pack
ing material and the Ice block.
"Sawdust is satisfactory packing
material. 1t is easily obtainable
everywhere. Frame walls of single
thickness require Is inches of saw
dust around the sides, top, and bottom
of the ice block. Twelve to IA inches
Of sawdust will do for houses having
double walls with a dead air space.
Proper drainage must be provided
beneath the ice block"
Feep the ice cakes close together
on edge, If you want the ice to keep
well.
Smooth the surface of each tier Of
cakes with adj or ak. Force the ice
chips between any cracks that may
remain. Place the next tier of cakes
directly on the first, and so on until
the house has been filed. The entire
ice block will tend to freeze together
as one huge cake.

Labor-S Saving Devices
Revolutionize Farming

"The outstanding feature of Ameri-
can agriculture the last IS years has
been the adoption Of labor saving farm
machinery" said II. B. Walker, pro-
fessor of agricultural engineering in
Kansas State college, to an audience
Of farm and university people attend
ing farmers and homemakers' short
course exercises at University farm,
st. Paul.
"Seventy-five years ago the average
farm worker cared for II acres of
crops" he said; to-day the average
for the United States is "a acres. or
nearly three times that of Is years
ago. Although we have only twice
the number of agricultural workers
we had rs years ago, these workers
are caring for nearly six times the
acreage Of crops"
1t was pointed out by Professor
Walker that the direct effect of these
new efficiencies and economies, brought
about by labor saving devices. has
been greater individual returns for
the farm worker, the release Of mil
lions of workers for other pursuits.
the greater production of luxuries.
lower costs of the necessities Of life,
shorter working days. and higher
standards of living.

Some Fertilizers Mixed
Without Curing at Home

The statement often heard, "That
fertilizer must be cured" is only a part
: truth and likely to be misleading, says
A. w. Blair, professor of soil chemis-
try at the New Jersey experiment sta
ton.
When rock phosphate or a mixture
Of rock phosphate and low-grade or
ganic material Is treated with sulphuric
acid in the manufacture of acid phos-
phate, it is necessary for the resulting
material to go through a process of
curing. In this curing. time must be
allowed for completing the chemical
reaction, both for the escape of nox-
ious gases and for the mass to dry so
that 1t may be properly pulverized.
But once the acid phosphate is prop
erly prepared it becomes CONNER
cial product which is easily handled
and may be mixed with other fertili-
zer materials in the making of conf
plete fertilizers. These mixed fer
tilizers may be used Immediately with
out any further curing or processing.
For example: A mixture may be
made up of acid phosphate, nitrate of
soda, sulphate of ammonia, tankage
and muriate Of potash, and used the
day it is mixed and give just as good
results as it would If allowed to stand
two months.

Always Pays to Try
Phosphate on Corn
Results Secured From Tests
Made in Minnesota.

DR.. T. J. Away, chief of the soils
division, university of Minnesota, re-
Gently reported the results from Sc
ries Of trials Of phosphate on corn on
So farms. in Jackson county. AS the
corn was husked and weighed up In
September, it was found, he says, that
ON about one-third of the fields there
was no distinct effect. On another
third there was an increase of to 10
per cent, and on the remaining third
an increase of 10 to 20 per cent. When
the corn had been thoroughly dried
there was far more shrinkage with the
unfertilized than with the fortified
corn in nearly all cases, due to the
fact that the fortified corn was more
mature.
About one-third of the fields gave
no appreciable gain of dry-shelled
corn; another third showed an In
crease Of 10 to 25 per cent, and the
remaining third of rs to 60 per cent
Doctor Away concludes that in
Jackson county, with such a season
as the one in 1925, there is chance of
profitable use of phosphate on corn
land, and he would encourage farm
ers in all southwestern counties Of
Minnesota to try phosphate on small
scale on their corn. Applications may
well consist, he says, of so pounds per
acre Of treble superphosphate, about
100 pounds of 20 per cent acid phos-
plate, or 125 pounds Of 16 per cent
acid phosphate.

Most everyone having anything to do
with horses is familiar with BOTTLES
and the annoyance they cause the anil
mails during the summer when they
are active in laying their eggs on the
hairs of the legs, throat or lips. Few
horsemen realize, however, the inju-
rious effects Of the bot or maggOt
stage. In biting or licking itself the
horse takes the eggs into the mouth.
from where they reach the stomach
and intestines, developing into the bot
or maggot stage. Here the bots re-
main for several months before being
developed fully and passed out. Dur
Ing this time they not only interfere
with digestion but may actually cause
Etoppage and result in death.
Early Winter Treatment.
Investigations conducted number
of years ago in Italy showed that bots
within horses could be destroyed by
administering carbon-disulphide cap
sules. This treatment has been tested
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture and found to be very eff
fective. A very important considera-
ton in obtaining the best results is
the matter of time of treatment, says
the department. Carbon disulphide
will remove many bots at any time Of
the year, but the greatest efficiency
can be obtained In winter months.
preferably December or January.
Early winter treatment is advisable,
because horses freed from the para
sites early will pass the winter in bet
ter condition.
Encouraging Results.
In the last few years a number Of
communities have attempted bot con-
troll by systematic treatment Of all
donkeys, mules, horses and colts. Re-
suits have been encouraging. Not
only has the annoyance from nose
BOTTLES and other BOTTLES been greatly
decreased after q single years ef-
fort but general improvement has
been reported in the condition and
health Of the horses. 1t appears en-
tirely feasible, especially in regions
where there are very few horses on
pasture, to eradicate horse bots by
combination of the carbon-disul-
phide treatment and the application Of
washes for the destruction of the
eggs. Every horse should be washed
with per cent coal-tar creosote dip
to destroy the young bots which re-
main dormant in the eggs. Thorough
treatment of all animals in commu-
nifty should be very profitable if con-
finued two or three years. Reinfesta-
