THE FARM YEAR AHEAD

"The year 1916 promises to be the
most significant peacetime year agri-
culture has seen in a third of CEN
curry" says Howard r. Tolley, Chief
of the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies. Despite reconversion prob
lems in industry, farmers can look
forward in 1916 to strong demand,
at good prices, for agricultural pro
ducts because of large wartime saw
ings, removal of most wartime re-
strictions, prospective tax reductions,
and high level of exports and for
eign relief shipments. Farm prices in
1916 may be slightly below the rec
ord 1945 levels, but they are expect
ed to assure farmers a net income
double the 1935-39 average and high
er than any year prior to 1913. Far
mers generally are emerging from
the war with an agricultural plant in
much better condition than after
World War /. Many will resume long
term soil building practices and ease
up on the intensive cropping of some
of their land necessitated by war de-
mands.

HINTS ON CARE
OF THE DOG IN
COLD WEATHER
THINGS YOU MAY
NOT HAVE KNOWN
TILL NOW

There is no surer way to court dis
aster for your dog than to keep him
part of the time indoors and part of
the time outdoors during the cold
weather months, states the Gaines
Dog Research Center, New York
City.
Keep him in your heated home or
in his own unheated house, but if
you value his health, do not keep
shifting him from one to the other, it
says.
Virtually every rough-coated OF
long-coated dog can be kept outdoors
all the year round, providing certain
precautions are observed. Be sure
his house is free from dampness and
draft, but has ample ventilation
preferably from the top. A strip Of
old carpeting across the doorway and
the right sort of bedding-straw, ce-
dar shavings or a blanket that can
be cleaned occasionally-will con-
tribute nightly to his comfort. You
can obtain without cost a working
plan for building a substantial dog
house out of a barrel by writing the
Gaines Dog Research Center, ESQ
Park Avenue, New York II, N. Y.
For the dog who sleeps in the
home, a bed at least four inches from
the floor should be used. This should
be placed in a corner or other pro-
tected spot out of the way of drafts
and as far away as possible from the
radiators. A great deal of dog coat
troubles in winter can be traced to
the drying out of the natural oils in
the skin of the dog mistakenly al
lowed to sleep close to heating unit.
Most dog authorities do not en-
courage the use of sweaters, blankets
or other covering for dogs when
taken out, except for sick or aged

ALTERS TAKE DRUDGERY OUT
OF FARM LIFE WITH IMPROVED
WORK METHODS

Drudgery, term long applied to
farm work, is disappearing from rur-
al vocabularies. Practical improve
ments in old-fashioned methods of
doing farm and home jobs and chores
are the reason. Prominently active
in this development, are the All Club
boys and girls throughout the nation.
Many of these rural youth are
utilizing electric power to perform
farm tasks formerly done manually.
Electrically operated equipment is
being used to pump water, sharpen
tools, hoist hay, heat pig and chick
brooders, ventilate barns, saw wood,
milk cows and cool milk. In farm
homes, electricity is being applied to
washing and ironing clothes, sewing,
cooking, cleaning floor coverings and
nuemrous other household jobs. Club
members on farms not yet electrified
are likewise saving time, labor, steps
and money by applying modern
methods of work simplification,

dogs and certain very short-haired
breeds. Instead, they recommend
that the dog be given every chance
to run freely when taken out, to off
set the sudden exposure to the lower
outdoor temperature. Dogs kept out
doors should be provided with long
chains to give them the opportunity
of getting exercise without risk of
their wandering away. Dogs taken
out in rain and snow require imme-
diate and thorough drying on their
return to the house.
Cold weather calls for an increase
in the dogs food intake, though the
basic feeding should continue the
same as in any other season. A serv-
ing of cod-liver oil every other day
is excellent practice, If you are so
inclined. The outdoor drinking pan
must be watched and the water re-
newed if 1t should freeze. Neither
hot nor frozen water is suitable for
drinking by dog.
Finally, there is the matter of
bathing the dog in cold weather.
Here it is better to err on the side of
UNDERGOING rather than OVERRIDING. A
bath once in two weeks is sufficient.
Be sure you dry the dog down to his
skin after his bath. In the case of
some long-haired dogs it may require
two hours of warmth to thoroughly
complete the drying job In bathing
a white dog, incidentally, a bit OF
bluing in the rinsing water enhances
the whiteness of the coat. Daily
brushing reduces the need for bath
ing, which not all dogs relish, and is
very beneficial in keeping the coat
glistening, the skin free from dan
druff, the dead hair out of the coat,
and the dog less liable to skin all
.ments.

BLOWN PATTERNS

Often times a hunter will wonder
why he missed a bird or rabbit af-
ter feeling pretty sure he held his
gun right on the object. The cause
could he blown patterns which occur
usually with most shotgun loads to
the extent of about one to ten or
twelve shots. Some ammunition will
occasionally make long runs without
single blown pattern, but other
makes and other guns will usually
SHOW that occasional blown pattern.
These are usually caused by tipped
over powder wads that let gas escape
past the wadding into the shot
charge, or by the top wad being
forced pack through the shot charge
by air resistance after the charge
leaves the muzzle. OF the two, the
latter is no doubt the cause for a
great percentage, if not tie most OF
the blown patterns. The top wad is
much lighter than the shot and when
it rides on the front of the charge
without properly tipping off out Of
the way, the head air resistance
forces it back through the charge,
causting either holes in the pattern
or the so-called doughnut pattern.
which is more rare. In either case,
targets or birds may we'll be missed
with a perfect hold.
The answer seems to be the no-top
wad crimp, first brought out by REM
ington and later by Western in trap
loads which, entirely eliminates
blown patterns from the top wad.

Quiz For MdrYldnders
Answer to Question I:

No state in America has as many
fine steeplechase courses as Mary
land. The famous Maryland Hunt,
in the Worthington Valley north
west Of Baltimore, has % jumps
over high post-and-rail fences. The
famous brush course at Foxcatch-
er Farms, Fair Hill, Cecil Coun-
ty, built by William Dupont, has
high gorse hedge fences the equal
of England's famed Grand Ma
tional. At Pimlico, in Baltimore,
the Maryland Jockey Club course
also has Dupont brush jumps.
Many racing stables and breeding
farms in the Old Free State
started because some youngster
had a pony, liked to ride and jump.
Truly, racing is native to Mary
land.

Take a peek at the list of Mary
lands biggest taxpayers. You will
learn Maryland racing pays over
one million dollars of your Mary
land taxes every year. Preserva-

Shelter

Mussolini is dead, Hitler is still
missing and Hirohito is taking or
ders from an American soldier, but
mortal craving for power appears
to have survived World War II. Any
Individual who can find something
that a great many people need, and
figure out way to keep them from
getting it, has put himself in "key
position" able to make lot of peo-
pie suffer.
One thing people need acutely
right now is shelter. Shortages of
building materials and the scarcity
of skilled workmen have combined
to make housing about the rarest
commodity in common use. It is
an everyday necessity, too. People
haze to have a place to live and
they will pay whatever it costs to
get in out of the weather, or, they
will take whatever shelter they can
afford.
Humming and Having
Comes now proposed legislation to
protect home buyers and home
builders from initiation, by govern
mental controls. Administration Of
rulings always brings delay, and
more delay. Now we need housing,
and more housing. Natural, COM
petitive safeguards will provide bet
ter protection against initiation than
rulings, as certainly as sturdy walls
will keep out more cold than red
tape.
The strategy is to fix ceiling
prices on residential property, new
and old, to allocate building ma
terials and regulate the transfer of
new real estate. Allocating materi-
ais means giving somebody right
to say who can build and who can't.
A crafty coordinate" with such
authority could soon have a great
many fellow citizens doing his bid
ding. America needs V-B Day
on bureaus.
Guessing at Prices
Ceiling prices on old residential
property is an absurd idea. There
is nobody in my state able to urn-
pire the transfer of old homes in
my town, much less yours. Such
laws are only made to break. A
legal ceiling on new-home prices
might be easy to express in math-
ematical curve but its results would
be bad. It would tend to cheaper
construction and encourage jerry
building.
Camping down on the sale of va
cant lots would surely be wrong in
point of expedience. It would kill
much precious time. Service men
are coming home noa0, not after
next year. They want places to live,
no later than they can get wife and
baby out of the in-laws' spare room
They are entitled to a home and
ought to have it as fast as their To-
cal builder can meet their needs.
POcketb00k Care
don't want to see today's new
home makers (least of all service
men) pay three prices for houses,
but natural competition among
builders would prevent it If they
could get materials. Paying a pre-
MUM for promptness in a time of
emergency is a trivial matter COM
pared to the highway robbery" we
are counting in shoddy houses, built
cheaply to sell under ceiling.
Governments moral obligations
to home-seeking servicemen are
three: a. Help builders get good
building materials quickly to make
suitable, small homes, ~ Begin no
public works to busy the building
trades until the home need is re-
1ieved, (3) See that mortgage money
is not carelessly thrown around.
