PREDICTS GOOD
HUNTING SEASON
Ducks Already Have Been
Sighted Flying South.

Prediction Of a good duck hunting
season in Indiana was made today
by George N. Mannfeld, superin-
tendent of fisheries and game of the
State Conservation Department.
1t is based on the reports from
State game preserves. One from the
Kankakee reservation in Laporte
and Starke Counties pointed out
that many f1ocks of ducks already
have been sighted flying south, in
dicating an early season, in Mann
fields opinion.
The season opens Oct. and con-
tinues until Jan. IS.
Similar optimistic predictions we're
made by Manifold regarding the
plentifulness Of both rabbits and
saiqrrels. The rabbit season opens
Oct. l and closes Jan. 10. The
squirrel season, which opened Aug. l
VIII close Oct. 81.
Better game fishing also is prom
ised by the department, which is
now clearing Lake MaXinkuchee Of
gar and dogf1sh.
Two men have netted hundreds
of pounds of the preying fish from
the lake, including the largest gar
ever reported to the department. 1t
was f1fty-six inches long and
weighed thirty pounds. Such a fish
will eat between 500 and 600 pounds
Of game fish annually, Manifold
declared.

Every Sign of Trouble Gone. Works

People who suffer from asthma

interested in a letter written by
VIM. F. Mckinley, SAC Arbor Ave,
Indianapolis. He says:
II had suffered from asthma for Is
years. Was unable to work for or 5
months in a year, had to sit in chair

different medicines, but they did me
very little good. 1 commenced taking

A special grand jury investiga-
ton was launched early in the sum-

and there appears to be little like

However, Cleveland possesses a

Barry's reaction to the suggestion
of racketeering in Cleveland was
characteristic. He forthwith sent

dered, and forthwith detectives
secured the city. There was
scurrying for cover and hasty ex-
odus of conspicuous characters.
Racket Still SmOlders
Although the racket appears to
have become quiescent, it is smol-
dering in such lines as dry clean
ing, in which the familiar Chi
cago method of operation, an oc-
casioneI stench-bomb, a truck set
afire, an occasional dmynamiting,
indicate that while the racketeers
are fearful of Barry's threat, they
have not quit business.
Small tailor shops, kosher
butchers, dry cleaning and SINH
lar establishments are continually
feeling the presence of the rack
eteers whose work is now covert
and fairly we'll concealed.

who was choked by gangsters

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. ia
family of six, including four chill
dren, were sacrificed by the torch
of racketeers when the garage, over
which the family slept, was burned
to the ground here last fall.
This was the worst fatality re-
corded in the long list of outrageS
which mark the trail of racketeers
affecting the dry cleaning, under
taking, kosher butchers, teamsters
credit jewelers. and other lines OF
business, and through which appear
the names and faces Of we'll known
Chicago operators.
Pick Wrong Place
The burning of the family is di-
rectly attributed by F. j. Hawkins
who operates moving and hauling
business on the east side, to the
fact that racketeers attempted to
discipline him for his refusal to pay
tribute to the racket, intended to
set fire to his garage, and made the
mistake of selecting a garage ad-
looming LIS CObdOA4obAA4ASAAV'
He explains that about week be-
fore the fire he was approached
nv certain "organizers," who invited
him for the last time to "joln" an
organization OF which they were the
promoters, and to which he said
he was expected to contribute Tor
the safety of his equipment.
Win in Election
The operations Ct racketeers in
Cleveland came to light during the
early summer in a political cam
paign over the Office Of county
prosecutor. An independent can
didate for the Republican nomina-
ton, who was drafted by the
Cleveland Bar Association and de-
feated by the organization candi-
date, made the charge during the
campaign that racketeerS had
been getting protection and, with
the election of his opponent,
would continue to be protected.
While the charge was made In
the heat of a political battle,
which was the hottest in Cuya-
hoga County in many years, the
allegation of racketeering was i'm
naediately taken up by the news
papers and the police.
No Indictments
The American Plan Association
then produced a series of affidavits
from individuals in the dry-cleaning,
kosher butchers and other similar
lines Of business to show that rack
eteers, well identified with the
movement in Chicago, had been busy
in Cleveland, and that fear Of re-

Most Lambs Born
During the Spring

available for the feeder for fattening
for winter and early spring markets.
Lambs raised from small farm focks
In the corn belt and in the eastern
half of the country are usually sold
for slaughter as soon as they reach
desirable weights. This is because the
possibility Of parasitic infection makes
them unsatisfactory for fattening pur-
poses. In short, the natural spread
ing of supplies from various sections,
throughout the marketing period, is
a great assistance to the sheepmaD
in achieving orderly marketing.
Lambs sold for slaughter bring

Of the inspected slaughter. which rep
resents about 5000OO,0OO pounds of
meat, is consumed east of Ohio and
north of the Potomac river, New York
city taking almost third of the sup
ply. Fifteen per cent of the supply
is consumed in the three Pacific coast
states. The remaining percentage is
distributed throughout the country.
When the per capita consumption Of
lamb in the Middle West and the
South equals that of the East and the
Pacific slope, the sheep industry will
have to raise great many more
lambs.

Sanitary Measures Will
Clear Up Many Diseases

Simple sanitary measures around
chicken lots and houses would clear
I'D many mysterious diseases" of
poultry which are reported. These
simple measures are more effective
than medicine administered in the
drinking water or bacterins given in
syringe. Many flock owners have dis
counted the value of sanitation and
have resorted to medicinal measures
without obtaining relief.
1t is a well-known fact that fresh
ground, free from filth, is desirable in
raising healthy chicks, but apparently
many people forget this point. In a
large number of cases reported, an
investigation will show that the same
ground has been used for chickens for
several years.
The ideal method to raise chicks Is
to have several lots, and practice q
rotation system, the same as in grow
ing crops. Besides the sanitation
gained in such rotation, it will tend
to retard the spread of avian tuber-
culosis, which spreads to swine in 60
to 90 days through direct or indirect
association, while certain infections in
poultry are dangerous to calves. Try
to Shift your flock several times dur
ing the year-it will pay you for the
trouble.

We g of Singles and
Tim Loads Speeded Up.

Prepared bv the United States Department
o. Agriculture.D
Large scales were introduced orig
inally in stock yards for weighing live
stock because in the early days car
load drafts were representative of the
business Since that time great
changes have occurred. Nowadays the
average draft of cattle at some stock
yards is less than four head and the
thousands of single animals are
weighed; nevertheless in many cases
large scales are used. In the admin
stratiOn of the Packers and Stock
Yards act by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture constant en-
deavOr has been made to bring about
the weighing of small drafts of live
stock on small scales.
A 10000 pound or 40,00O-pound capac-
lty scale should not be used for weigh
ing single animals, says the depart
ment, but a small scale with capac-
ity of from 1000 to 5000 pounds
should be provided for weighing single
animals and small drafts up to the
capacity of the scale. Small scales
have been introduced for weighing
small drafts in some stock yards.
This has involved departure from
long-established practice. AS conse-
Uuence criticisms are sometimes voiced
by persons accustomed to the large
scales. However. experience with
small scales usually results in

Machinery Deteriorates
if Not Rightly Covered

Farm machinery will deteriorate if
II is left in the 'great Out-Of-doOrs.
If it is properly housed, however. its
life will be practically doubled.
An implement shed either 16 or 26
feet wide will give proper protection
to the farm machinery. The narrower
width will accommodate one row of
machines; the wider one will provide
space for two rows.
If pitched roof Is placed over the
shed, space directly under it can De
utilized for storing light instruments,
if a board floor is first laid over the
cross beams.
By placing six-inch concrete floor
under the shed, the farmer can elimi-
nate much of the difficulty of moving
heavy machinery, such as tractors, hay
leaders, or binders.
The shed can be made practically
fireproof by the use of concrete ma
sorry walls. and cement-asbestos for
roofing.
The shed need not be an expensive
or elaborate affair.

Short Farm Notes
Can the surplus food this year.

Can the surplus food this year.
Clean, pump, brigt' seed is the SAT.
est
Spotted grain often means dead
germs, while dark colored grain is
usually infected with some fungus
disease.
Failure to succeed with alfalfa and
clOvers is often due to lack in the
soil of the bacteria which provide the
plant with ability to take nitrogen
from the air.
Get the catch crops in to replace
those that have failed. Millet, sor-
ghum. fodder corn, COW peas, ETC., can
be planted with success.
Like alfalfa. except more pro-
nounced, the soil for sweet clover must
be sweet. If it is not pasture6 heav-
lily enough to keep it down sweet
clover will get woody and tough.
Bluegrass is a good, early spring and
late fall pasture, but poor in summer.
At its best it will not carry as many
pigs to the acre as alfalfa, clover, or
rape, and they need more protein feed
with it.

Sheep Industry of Today Is
More on Lamb Than
Mutton Basis.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Although rs per cent of the lambs
raised in the United States are born
In March, April and May, fresh lamb
reaches the market In steady supply
throughout the year. This is accomp-
lished in spite of the fact that little
of it reaches the status of mutton.
Forty years ago very little lamb was
obtainable. Sheep were then usually
slaughtered at from five to ten years
Of age, after considerable service in
wool production. Today, instead OF
getting heavy mutton of uncertain age
and flavor and carrying much fat, the
housewife gets genuine lamb from ami
mails ranging from four to twelve
months old, mostly of muttOn-type
breeds or crosses between wool and
mutton types. In other words the
sheep industry of today is largely on
lamb rather than mutton basis.
Maintain Steady Supply.
How a steady market supply IF
lamb is maintained despite the fact
that most lambs are born in the
spring is explained by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Some lambs, of course, are born in
the late fall and early winter. These
begin to arrive on the market in the
early spring, and are known in the
trade as genuine "spring lamb" Some
of the extremely early ones get spe-
cial attention and are marketed as
dollhouse lambs. However, this part
of the supply is only a small frac-
ton of the years total, the main
bulk of it coming, as already men
toned, from the lambs born in
March, April and May and which are
marketed from June to November.
About half o. the years market re-
ceipts reach market from August to
November. If they were all slaugh-
tered Immediately, year-round sup
ply of lamb to the consumer would
be impossible.
But they are not all slaughtered
Immediately. Fortunately for the
consumer, and also for the producer
because crowding OF consumption de-
presses prices, msny of the lambs
shipped to central markets in the
summer md fall are taken hack to
the country TO be fattened on grain,
alfalfa and other feeds. They are
returned to market for slaughter in
the winter and early spring before
the next crop of lambs begins to ar
rive on the market. In this way the
lamb feeders IL the irrigated districts
of Colorado and Nebraska and in the
corn belt play considerable part in
equalizing the movement of lamb into
consumption throughout the year.
