Expenses of Cow Testing
Really an Investment

Some farmers feel that Joining a
cow-testing association would only
be an additional expense-an ex-
pense and not an investment, as it
should be regarded
Any business man would be will
ing to increase his investment If it
would increase his net returns ma
terially. Your cow-testing assocla-
tion can hardly increase your cream
prices, but in many cases it can cut
down your costs of production so
that your net return will be greater.
Can you produce butterfat at a cost
of ia cents per pound? One dairy
man in the Pocahontas (Iowa) Cow
Testing association did and others
in the association aren't far behind
in their costs of production. The
average Of the entire association
was four and half cents below the
average price received for their
butterfat. These dairymen's herds
still are on the good side" Of the
ledger. - Kenneth Littlefield, in
an Iowa testing report in Hoard's
Dairyman.

Care of Sows' Udders

Failure to wash the udders of
sows, an important part of the
swine sanitation plan, resulted in
the loss of 100 pigs on Whiteside
county (Illinois) farm, reports
Farm Adviser Shuman. The far
rowing houses and pens had been
thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed
with boiling lye water. However
when the pigs came they lived
about 70 hours and then died. Ex-
animation failed to reveal the
cause, but at the suggestion of DR..
Robert Graham, University Of Hi
nois, and State Veterinarian w. H.
Welch, the udders of the sOws that
had not yet farrowed were washed
with soap and water and then
painted with iodine. The pigs they
farrowed have been successfully
saved. The swine sanitation plan,
when completely carried out, is a
remedy for a large number of dis
eases.-Prairie Farmer.

Crops Cost Least
on Manured Land
Intelligent Soil Treatment
Results in Profit for
Farmer.
BY F. H. CRANE. College Of Agricul-
ture, University OF Illinois
WNIJ Service.

WNl oeENlCe.
Pointing the way to wider mar
gins of profit for the farmer, re-
suits from 10 out of 26 Illinois soil
experiment fields show that crops
have been grown at the lowest cost
under a system Of soil treatment
which included manure. On 16 of
these 10 fields manure and lime
stone have been the most profitable
soil treatment.
Manure ranks as the best gen
eral purpose fertilizer. The manure
from one horse or COW during a
year contains as much nitrogen as
a half ton or more of nitrate of
soda, as much phosphate as 125
pounds Of super-phosphate, and as
much potash as 200 pounds of mu-
riate of potash.
Results for the past 90 years, not
only from Illinois but also from
Ohio, Pennsylvania and elsewhere,
agree remarkably well in estab-
fishing a figure of 50 TO SO a ton
as reasonable and conservative
value for a ton of manure. These
values are based on its performance
in improving crop yields. Taking
the Illinois experiment fields as
whole. manure has increased wheat
yields three and a half bushels an
acre, corn yields ten bushels an
acre. oats yields seven bushels an
acre, and hay yields One-third of
ton an acre.
Manure is an effective fertilizer
on dark-colored soils as well as on
light-colored ones, and is especially
so on sand and alkali. On the Aledo,
Harrisburg, LaMoille and MinOnk
fields, representing highly prOduc-
tive dark-colored soils. manure last
year was worth $156 a ton as
yield improver. On medium pro-
ductive soils 1t was worth S248 n
ton. It had value of $40 a ton
on the badly erOded hill land of
southern Illinois and value of
more than SO a ton on sand land.

Oquawka field.

Frenchman First to Use
Steam to Propel Boat?

A deposition signed by two nOta-
ries of Lyons, France, letter from
the American inventor, Robert Full
ton, and numerous other papers ap-
pear to prove cOnclusively that the
inventor of the first steamboat was
not the American artist-inventor,
Fulton, but a French royalist, the
Marquis Claude DOrothee de JOuff-
roy d'Abbans, who died 100 years
ago, July IS, 1882.
While Robert Fulton was still a
young painter and only eighteen, the
second steamboat invented by JOuff-
roy d'Abbans successfully mounted
the current from Lyons up the Sa-
one river to the Ile-Barbe, amidst
the acclamation of the people.
Jouffroy, called after his principal
family name, has an avenue in Paris
named for him, but little credit
seems to have been given him for
his invention until a French writer,
Jacques Christland, took up his
cause in a newspaper.
Later. Jouffroy's engine builder,
Perier, collaborated with the young
er Fulton in installing Watts en-
gines on steamboats,, one of the
replicas of which probably was that
which navigated the Hudson river
and gave Robert Fulton the credit
for being the first and foremost in
ventor of the steamboat.
Fulton, who spent much time in
Paris. had written a letter to the
French patent Office, called Les Arts
et-Metiers, disclaiming his part as
the first inventor of the steamboat.

Individual Hog Houses

Earl Knebel. Iowa, writes: Our
individual movable hog houses by
6 feet can be built complete with
board floor at a total cost Of S11.50
each. These are A-shaped and do
not need farrowing rails to prevent
the sOws from lying on the pigs.
They were made of rough lumber
and stained with crank case oil to
perserve the wood. Our ten sows
farrowed SO pigs and not one was
killed by smothering.
ITO prevent the smaller ones
from being robbed an individual
pen was made for each SOW of light
6 by 10-foot gates or panels. which
were wired together so they could
easily be moved or taken down
when not needed. When the pigs
were a few weeks old they were al
lowed the run of a 40-acre field of
clover with running water, by turn
ing the panels upside down with
the wider spaces at the bottom.
These pigs were to be raised, on
clean ground, so the sow's feet and
udder were scrubbed with hot wa
ter and soap before being hauled to
their new quarters, S,"-WiScOnsin

Just a careless fellow whose peo-

whose acquaintance is vast among

money bores him, because he has

By devious means the crook
establishes the approximate wealth

speaks to the crook as though he
might be the son of his elder busi-
ness partner. The first crook in

overly that the old gentleman is
one OF Americas or England's
greatest bankers, the silent partner
of ship lines, oil concessions, gold
mines and scandalously rich. who
is retired but who goes to the stock

The two crooks talk Of a little

friend out of this little deal. The

elderly gentleman turns over few
thousand francs with a bored air

They offer TO let their victim in on

WHEN MOON LOSES
ITS SILVERY HUE
"Orb of Night" Can Assume
Intense Blackress.

Who has seen n black moon? Some
have seen a blue moon, but this is so
uncommon that its rarity has passed
into a proverb of infrequency. Sill
very is the term that the poets apply
to the new moon, and golden to the
full moon. Sometimes, owing to the
heaviness of the air near the no
riZon, the moon may rise or set wear
ing a deep red, as if, in the scriptural
phrase, it had turned to blood. But
when, if ever, is the moon black?
1t can only be when it's side turned
toward the earth is wholly unlighted
Then, why not in an eclipse of the
moon? 1t then has a deep shade
over it, but its hue is coppery and
it is lighted so well that we can even
make out its face. This is due to
irradiation through the earth's atmo-
sphere. The rays of the hidden sun
are bent around the solid body of the
earth and fall upon the moon, which
at that time is always exactly full
We shall have to look for some other
time if we are to find it black
Is there any time when the moon
as it looks at us is wholly unlighted?
Yes, just when it is passing from old
to new, for then the opposite side Of
the moon receives all the sunlight,
and our side none. But, if it is not
lighted, how can we see it at ALI
AS matter Of fact we usually can
not. particularly since it is so near
the sun as to be lost in its brightness.
The moon would surely be black if
we could see it, but how are we ever
going to? We have only to wait for
an eclipse of the sun.
Whether the eclipse be total or
partial, the blackened part of the
sun, as it seems to us, is not the
sun at all, but this very moon that
we are looking for. There is no
doubt about its blackness. The Bible
compares it to the blackest haircloth
But no hair or ink or jet was ever
so black as this black moon, and,
when the eclipse is total and this
great black ball hangs in heaven,
blotting out the sun. one must have
strong nerves to behold it without
sudden feeling of terror. 1t is a
black moon. black beyond our wild
est imaginings. If once we see it,
we never shall forget it, and we
shall be fortunate if it does not
