Naturally, the toy makers are all for
complicated and expensive toys. Psy-
biologists like Miriam Finn Scott, con-
sultant in child psychology for New

plicity. Mrs. Scott, summoned to ex-

handful of primitive toys.
However, there is division of opin-
ion among the psychologists. Miss Caro-
line Pratt, founder and present head of
the Town and Country School, one of
the leading experimental schools of
America, is by no means alarmed about
the complicated toys. Miss Pratt was
asked today whether, in her opinion,
the complicated rigs now being supplied
to children tended to check initiative
and deadened the creative instinct.
1T depends 8 great deal on the in
dividual child and the age and cir
cumstances under which it is given
these toys" she said MY main criti-
cism of amusements for children is that
they are directed too much to teaching
children how to work and not enough to
teaching them how to play"
w. Ogden Coleman, president of the
Toy Manufacturers of the United
States said the trade faced an obstacle
in the fact that because of the inten-
sity of modern life and the great con-
centration on infusing learning into the
youngsters the play age of children is
much lower than it was 10 or Is years
ago" Miss Pratt was asked whether
this was her observation.
II do not see any reason why. with in
telligent education, the play age
shouldn't last until about co." she said.

Heavy Dat Yield
Costs Few Cents
At Least Five Additional
Bushels to Acre May Be
Had by Testing Seed.

Two and half cents worth of for
maldehyde may add at least five addi-
tional bushels to the acre oat yields
on many farms.
This is the average cost of treating
for smut enough seed oats to SOW an
acre. This disease causes large an
nual damage to the crops, taking
toll on some farms of as much as III
out of every 100 bushels of grain, ac-
cording to r. E. Vaughan, plant dis
ease specialist at the Wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture.
Treat Barley for Smut.
Barley may also be treated with
farmaldehyde for smut. A pint or
pound of the formaldehyde, obtain
able at most drug stores, is added to
50 gallons of water. This solution
may be sprinkled on the seed or the
seed may be soaked in it for five min
utes. Both methods give satisfactory
results, Vaughan reports.
When preparing the seed for treat
ment, it should be thoroughly famed
in order to remove the light-blighted
kernels, smut spores and dirt. After
treating, the. grain should be covered
for two hours and then dried by
spreading in on clean strip of can
vas. While the seed is damp, Vaughan
cautions that care should be taken
that it does not freeze nor heat, as
either one of these conditions injure
Its termination power.
Seed Ready to Sow.
The seed is ready to SOW in IL to "a
hours after treatment. II freshly
treated seed is sown, Vaughan says
the seeder should be opened so that
three-fourths bushel more oats and
one-half bushel more barley are sown
to an acre than usual, this due to the
fact that the seed has swollen during
the treating process.

Narrow Type of Shed Is
Useful for implements

At this time of year every farm
machine or piece of equipment not
needed should be under shelter with
a card showing what adjustments ana
repairs are needed. Even a we'll
rooted straw shed is better than none,
but often shed does not give full
protection.
Consider annual cost over a period
of years rather than first cost, and
use the materials at hand which will
give the longest life and least upkeep
at the, lowest first cost. Reinforced
concrete, concrete blocks, hollow clay
tile, galvanized iron, lumber, and so
ON, should all be considered.
The long narrow type of shed is
most disable and convenient about
moving machines in and out. Square
sheds waste space, especially if n
driveway must be kept open. Round
sheds are even less desirable. Long
narrow sheds can be started small and
added to as needed

Feed Fowls Yellow Corn
for Production of EGGS

Yellow corn is proving superior to
white corn in rations for egg produc-
tion. 1t is also much better for growing
chicks. The beneficial effects of yell
low corn are thought to be due to the
fact that it is richer than white corn
in vitamine A, a substance essential
for normal growth of chickens.
When the hens ration is deficient
in vitamine A she is likely to develop
eye trouble similar to roup, and lay
fewer eggs which would hatch poorly
If incubated.
If white corn is fed, the vitamine
A deficiency may be corrected in a
ration for hens by feeding green feed
at the rate of one cubic inch per hen
per day. Baby chicks cannot eat
enough green feed to completely cor
rect the vitamine A deficiency il
white corn is fed. The deficiency cam
be supplied to chicks by adding cod
liver oil to the mash at the rate of
per cent by weight.

mans creed is cleanliness.
The farm workshop should be the

Winter egg production is often cut
short by limited supply of water.

Tremendous losses are incurred by
planting poor seed. Test before seed

Winter onions come up just after
the snow disappears and perhaps are
the first vegetable that will come from

Milk which is not Immediately re-

Have Kidneys
Examined By
Your Doctor
Take Salts to Wash Kidneys If
Back Pains You or Bladder
Bothers

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says noted au-
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts
to expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with dull misery in the
kidney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated, and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys
and flush off the body's urinous waste,
get four ounces of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful
in glass of water before breakfast
for few days, and your kidneys may
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for years to help flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also
to neutralize the acids in the system
so they no longer irritate, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure and makes delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink.

which the public assumed and he
was master of securing harmonious
cooperation for desired end"
Of him another biographer has
written:
president McKinlay's course dur
ing the many exciting events of his
administration was marked by de-
gree of tact, prudence and foresight
which surprised even his friends. He
surrounded himself with able advisers,
maintained cordial relations with con-
gress and steadily grew in popularity
with the country at large. He pos
sessed to an unusual degree the fac
ulty Of forecasting public sentiment"
In the light of these estimates it
would appear that Mckinley, even
though he did not have that training
in statecraft which might be consid-
cred essential to situation involving
International relations, was apparent
Iy an ideal leader for people once
they had entered upon a war which
was to be 50 naomentous in their his
tory. 1t was a war which he was OPP
posed to and during all the negotia-
lions with Spain, that preceded the
actual outbreak of war, he repeatedly
counseled patience ant restraint.
Even after the destruction of the
Maine. when the country was in a
white heat of indignation against
Spain, he held fast to his purpose OF
securing a peaceful settlement of the
dispute between the two countries
over the Cuban problem. Finally,
convinced that Spain would not ac-
,cept Americas proposals and assured
of the deep-seated conviction of the
American people regarding their duty
to the Cubans. the President reluc-
family took the decisive step.
Not only did the Spanish American
war, the highlight of McKiniey's ad-
ministration, result in Americas COM
ing into possession of colonies Ia the
Ear East which brought the country
into the realm of international poll
tics, but during that administration
were taken also the other steps which
aided in furthering her interests in
worldwide affairs. 1t was McKin-
ley's secretary of state, John Hay.
whose "open door" policy in regard
to China made the United States am
active factor in the future of the
Orient and it was Mckinley himself,
