WHAT WILL THE PULLET
HARVEST BE
By Prof. A. G. Philips


In order to secure the greatest in
come from eggs in the fall, the pull
let's should start laying not later
than October 1st. Normally, Leg
horn pullet should mature in 5 to. 5la
months, and heavier breeds, in 6 to
61a months.
1t is necessary that definite
feeding program be carried out if
these normal results are obtained.
With grain abundant and low priced
in the Middle-west, there is ten
dency to let up on the feeding of a
growing mash in order to save in
cash outlay of money.
This, of course, is as unusual as
endeavoring to operate an automobile
with cheap or no oil at all. Grain
is necessary and has place in the
feeding plan of growing pullets, but
wouldn't it be foolish to supply an
auto with plenty of gas and skimp
on the supply of lubricating oil? The
car needs both gas and oil. The
growing pullet needs both mash and
grain if she is to mature at the
proper age and be in physical condi-
tion to lay eggs of proper size, I
abundantly, in the winter months.

Machinery Cuts Corn
Growing Labor in Half

The actual man labor needed IN the
Corn Belt to grow an acre of corn has
been cut in half in the last two decades
and the amount of land a man can
care for has been increased approx
mately a fourth, figures gathered by
the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture indicate.
The department found that an acre Of
corn can now be grown with from Z to
S hours of man labor, while formerly
it took about Is hours. The acreage
cared for by one man has increased in
different states from Is to 81 per cent.
Increased machinery is largely re-
sponsible for this especially on farms
of more than 100 acres. Farms small
er than this do not benefit from me-
chanization as do the larger farms.
The Corn Belt has more tractors
for its farms than the average for the
country as whole. There is one trac-
tor for every seven farms in the
United States. Iowa and Illinois have
a tractor to every 8 farms, Indiana
and Ohio, in every a, Michigan l in
5, and Missouri l in 10. One farm in
10 of more than 100 acres in the
Germ Belt has a tractor-cultivator
while the same percentage has corn
picking machine.

Suggestions in
Control of Many
Animal Parasites

Under natural conditions there is
mutual tolerance between a parasite
and its host. When animals are
confined on restricted areas, this mu-
tualism IS broken, resulting in ex-
cessive infestations and loss of live
stock.
Since ANIMALS are not permitted to
run at large, an attempt should be
made to provide an environment for
them that will approach conditions
intended by nature. The following
suggestions, made by r. Z. Rebras-
sier of the Animal Disease Control
Laboratory of the Ohio Experiment
Station, will be helpful in keeping
parasites at a low level:
/. Livestock should be changed
from one pasture to another as often
as practical; also, change the spe-
cies of stock on the same pasture
for example, place horses or swine
on ground previously occupied by
cattle and sheep.
2. Do not overstock, as this will
concentrate pasture infection, result
ing in more worm eggs and larvae
to given area, and increasing the
chances for infection
3. Young livestock should be kept
separate from older animals and
away from areas which have been
occupied by them. Older animals
serve as carriers of parasites and
the areas used by them are usually
infective. Young animals are more
susceptible to parasites than adults,
and most of the losses among live
stock occur in the young.
4. Chickens and turkeys should
not be raised on the same premises
unless they can be separated. Tur-
keys convey gape-worms to chickens,
while chickens carry the organism
that causes blackhead in turkeys.
5. Dogs should be kept free from
parasites, as some Of the parasites
that infest dogs are transmitted to
man and animals.
6. Burn or bury all dead animals,
as this will help prevent the breed
ing of flies which serve as interme-
date hosts and carriers of many
parasites.
T. Keep the yards, stables, and all
small Enclosures reasonably clean at
all times. Parasites and other dis
eases flourish in dirty places. Clean
liness is profitable to the farmer and
stockman.
It is the business of the livestock
man to prevent the spread of para
sites by sanitation. When disease is
actually present on farm, 1t is
advisable to call in competent assist
ance, and this should be done before
losses occur.

Fire Protection
For Rural Folks

The Board of Fire Underwriters Of
the Pacific, San Francisco, has pub
lithed a pamphlet Oh Rural Fire Pro-
lection that deserves wide attention.
The pamphlet, which consists of rec
concentrations of the California Rural
Fire Institute, gives definite informa-
ton as to the selection of equipment
and the training Of personnel. 1t pic
lures an effective fire district in order
to give basis of comparison for COM
munities interested in raising their
standards Of fire protection.
The model district is eight miles
square. 1t should have four pieces Of
fire fighting apparatus, or four COM
panies, each covering an area four
miles square. The companies are To-
Gated in towns near the centers Of
their district, and are in charge of a
captain and a lieutenant. The chief
of the county may be the county fire
warden and is in charge of all four
departments.
Each company must have at least
six men to respond to any fire, and
three to five members live in the town
where the apparatus is located. The
territory is divided into four or more
wards, and members must come to ev-
cry fire in their ward. One member
in each ward is designated as a crew
leader. Alarms of fires are either tel
ephoned to the chief, who then noti-
fes the proper company, or to COM
pany headquarters, where a siren is
located to give out the message. Each
company holds drill each month and
every spring and fall the entire de-
partment meets to discuss fire preven-

HOMEGROWN Feeds
Cheaper Cost of
Dairy Production

When milk prices drop to low
level it is extremely important to
watch the feed bill While there has
been reduction in feed prices as well
as in milk prices, the relationship be-
tween them is not as favorable as it
should be. Hence, the number of un-
profitable cows is increasing, and it is,
indeed, a good COW that can show a
profit. Discarding the low producers
and Gull COWS is now more important
than ever. To reduce the net feeding
costs on the good cows by stepping
up production" through more liberal
feeding certainly has its limitations
under present conditions.
A more logical method of reducing
production costs appears to be in the
use of lower priced feeds. Long ex-
perience has taught that the farmers
own products are about the cheapest
ones which can be purchased. There
fore, it would seem that the real
means of lowering production costs is
for the dairyman to patronize him
self by using his own low-priced feeds.
This does not mean that the nutri-
tional needs of the COW can be changed
to conform to the economic conditions
but implies the planning of the farm
operations to meet the requirements
of milk production.
The possibilities of a home grown
ration were demonstrated at the Ohio
Experiment Station by c. F. Monroe,
Associate in dairying, during this last
winter feeding. season. The only parts
Of this ration that could not be pro-
duced on the farm were the salt and
supplement. Milk production
Of this ration was practically equal to
that on a good standard ration, which
approximately one-fourth
purchased protein concentrates. Other
standard rations could have been used
which would have called for the use
of a much greater amount of pur-
chased feeds.
This homegrown dairy ration, with
the encouraging results Of its use, will |
be discussed as a part of the Dairy
Day program, to be given August II
1882, at the Ohio Agricultural EXper-
iment Station, Wooster.

ment of the germ in relationship
to human disease.
The next step has been to de-
termine the way in which the germ
gets into the body, and then what
happens to it after it is in the hui
man body.
Once in the tissue of the lung,
the germ produces definite changes.
1t has been found that its growth
and the progress of these changes
can be prevented by various pro-
cedureS which will put the lung at
rest.
These procedures involve not only
actual rest of the entire indiyid-
ual in bed, but specific rest of the
lung brought about by the weight
of SandbagS applied to various por-
lions of the body, and the use OF
pulmothorax, which is the injection
of air around the lung, forcing it to
collapse.
They involve also the use of va
rlouS surgical procedures, which
bring about a complete and perma-
nent collapse of the diseased lung,
and finally the cutting of nerves
which control the movements of
the diaphragm and thereby bring
about the rest of the lung.

The Wrong Economy

Next week the board of review will take up
the city budget and listen to appeals of the organiza-
tons of big taxpayers for reduction of rates.
One of the spots where these organizations will
ask for economy is in the recreation department.
They want the community houses closed. They as
sert that the city has no money to maintain these
institutions.
If there is any place where such economy should
not be put into effect it is in the matter of amuse-
ment and entertainment
While it is very important that the jobless have
food clothing and shelter, it is quite important
that they also have some form of escape from them
selves.
The man who loses his job no longer belongs to
industry or business.
The family without funds is automatically cut
off from the usual means of providing relief from
pressing cares by entertainment that requires money
Enforced leisure without some means of entertain
ment or amusement is not leisure but desperation
In this city this winter, there is need for COM
munity gatherings that will permit groups to enter
tain themselves without cost.
The community center is not a luxury In these
days it is necessity for those who use these build
ings and an insurance for those who want things to
keep on as they are,

The Endorsement of Judge Harry Chamberln by
group of lawyers should result in determined effort
to take the bench out of politics
That any judge should be elected as either Re-
publican or a Democrat is in itself suggestion that
justice is partisan,
Under the present system of electing judges on
partisan nominations, the judge must necessarily be
good politician rather than a good Judge if he ex
poets to remain in Office.
The case of Judge Chamberlin is case in point
He is out of favor with the forces of Coffnism be-
cause he refused to his Office for the benefit of
that dominating force in Republican politics.
The same condition exists in the case of Judge
Clarence Martin of the supreme court.
He has written number of dissenting opinions
that appealed to the plain citizen being good law
and substantial justice They did not appeal to the
political desires of the rules of his party.
Under a nonpartisan ballot at an election held
at different date than that which other officials
are elected it is likely that both these judges would
be Endorsed with considerable unanimity. In par
tisan election, they must campaign for ofice with

about the same methods that used to elect con-
stable.
The taking Of the courts out Of partisan politics
is necessary if the courts are regain any measure
of public confidence.
1t is matter Of some concern shat the courts do
not generally command public respect and confidence
Even the supreme court in the past has been
under suspicion Of writing its decisions with an eye
to the political future OF the members. The city
manager decision is a case in point.
1t is matter of record that both the United
States senators are record as trying to influence
the court in decision that Of the contempt trial
Of the late Rev. E. E Shumaker of the Anti-saIoon
League
In that case, Senator Robinson appealed to his
colleague to do what he could to save Shumaker
from jail. Senator Watson wrote and it is in the
record that he had written letters to Indiana to
see what could be done.
Under nonpartisan system of electing judges,
as is now in effect in states there is better
chance of getting real judges instead of good poll
ticians on the bench.
That change is important than the cleo
ton Of any particular judge in the coming campaign
The big drive by lawyers of all parties should be
for the abolition Of system that forces candidates
for judgeships to pass partisan test rather thar
to show qualifications for unbiased and uncontrolled
actions after election.
No Judge should be compelled to appeal to party
workers for his election.

Weapons and Tools

FRAGMENTS Of a crude, undec-
Il grated pottery were found in
the graves. There also were weap-
ons, tools. and ornaments made OF
stone, flint, bone and shell.
There were no traces Of wooden
objects or textiles of any kind, "
Walker reports, but spear and jaye-
lin heads, knives. drills and scrap
ers were numerous, all made from
native flint and showing rather
crude workmanship
There were hammers and grind
ers made of water-worn stones, with
little artificial shaping.
"MuSsel shells used as spoons were
found inside box-turtle shells, which
had been scraped out to serve as
bowls.
The most unusual object found
was part of an antler tip notched
near the end which was part of an
'atlatp or throwingstick used for
hurting darts. This is q more prim-
tive weapon than the bow and ar
row.

Following this discovery curious
examples of rock drawing in the
same region were studied. Whether
these were made by the cave dwell
ers can not be determined.
