D. ‘F armers Need the Best A prominent North Dakota farmer said to us the other day: “I never knew what it was to do my plowing right until I got a tractor. It is a hard job and when I finished up plowing.. my teams were generally about all in, ‘Now I do my plowing with a tractor and plow it deep and in time and my teams are ready for other 'work they can .do and I keep less “ horses ‘than before and farm better.’’ Y 3 This is the experience of all who have tractors.

Roberts, Proprietress, B Mention Leader when writing advertisers - WOMAN’S (Continued) late weeks the papers have been de- voting much space to iceless refriger- ators, and there are many different plans. No doubt all of them are good. But one forbidding thing about di- rections for making furniture or build- ings on the farm always is that they begin by demensions. There is not much appeal in articles bristling with figures. What one wants is principies, Very well, here is the principle: provide evaporation surface for some sort of box or container in which the food to be saved is to be put. Make a box whatever size is desired by con- structing frames and covering with screen wire—the kind that will not rust is best. Cover this screen with cloth, burlap, flannel or come other heavy material, and keep this wet all the time. Evaporation will keep the box cool, and has reducéd temperature when a breeze is blowing on the refrig-- erator as much as 40 degrees. The box should be equipped with shelves and a hinged doer, and for convenience the cover of cloth on the door should be tacked to it and overlap the edgesd of the box. To keep this wet, a pan of water should be set on top and some large flannel wicks several inches wide should be hung with one end in the pan of water and the other down on the top of the refrigerator. If the wicks are sewed onto the cloth covering it will be better. The covering should be wet before being started, and then capillary, attraction will keep the cloth wet. Placed in a breeze this kind of a refrigerator cools food rapidly. In sul- try, still weather, it does not. work so well. Where one has a source of ele- vated water supply, water dripping from a small hole onto the covered box saves all trouble of refilling pans and is constant. A still simpler method is to fill a box with sand, where sand can be pro- cured, sink pails or boxes of desired size in it, pour water onto the sand until it is wet, and then sprinkle the sand occasionally. This is remarkably efficient in many cases as a substitute for ice. Uncle Sam and the Women Can surplus food, but use jars and cans wisely. : Don’t have an empty preserving jar in your home next fall. There may be some difficulty in se- curing cans and preserving jars. Reserve regular tight-sealing con- tainers for vegetables, concentrated soups, meats, and fish. Concentrate products so that each jar or can will hold as much food and as little water as possible.. Speeding Up th Meat for the rural table and a great quantity of it for sale to the big cities which are unable to procure as much pork, mutton or beef for their people as the people want, can be produced by women on. the farms through speed- ing up this summer's poultry produc- tion, and conserving what is now grow- ing. What could be expected of it was well shown in the recent agricultural conference at St. Louis where it was shown that the poultry products of the United States could be doubled within a year if everybody in a position to help did their part and $600,000,000 worth of food would be added to our supply this year in this way. This includes both meat for the table and eggs. Very few farmers practice a systematic plan of disposing of their fowls after they have ceased to be pro- ductive, although it is well known that fowls of the heavier breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks, cease to produce a profitable number of egy%s at the end of their second laying year, and that this holds true of the lighter breeds, such as the Leghcrns, at the end «of their third laying year. Consequently, if efforts were made to dispose of all females: when their best laying days were over, a large quantity of poultry meat would be placed on the market. All poorly developed chickens like- wise should be culled out- and used as meat. This way of disposing of un- profitable fowls would allow the farmer to feed his grain to younger and more productive fowls. The greater production of turkeys, ducks, geese, and guineas, all of which can be profitably raised and a ready ‘market found in most sections, would increase the 'supply of poultry meat considerably. The production of ducks especially should be emphasized at this time, because ‘of "the rapidity with which they grow. Ducks of most of the meat breeds, properly fed and managed, frequently weigh from 5 to 6 pounds at 10 weeks of age. It is esti- mated by poultrymen making a spec- ialty' of growing ducks that the feed cost per pound of producing duck meat ranges from 8 cents to 12 cents, de- pending upon thg current prices of grain and other feeds. The number of marketable eggs' can be increased by following a few prac- tical suggestions. Among the most im- portant of these are the production of the infertile egg after the breeding 'sea-~ son is over, and the proper handling of eggs by the farmer before sending them to market. The infertile egg is ' obtained when all' male birds are re- moved from the flock. This does not decrease the number of eggs produced, but it does increase greatly their keep~ ° ing qualities, The production of th¢ infertile egg and the proper handling and marketing of eggs by the produces would increase tremendously the numi« ber of marketable eggs cach year by PAGE FOURTEEN Put up jams, jellies, and preserves in glasses sealed with cork or paper and paraffin.

Department of Agriculture, e Meat Supply diminishing the quantity that are rendered unfit for food. s Chicks hatched even in-midsummer, with proper feed and managment; will irequer}tly begin laying in January of the following year. The maturity of fowls hatched late can be greatly: in- creased if the mother hens are cone fined until the chicks are weaned. In this way feed that is furnished the chicks produces growth, instead of energy to fdllow the mother. Extra precautions should be taken in the late spring and early summer to keep.the young birds free from lice and disease, both of which cause thousands to: die every year. More general use of the incubator and brooder will increase considerably the output of chickens, and consequently the number of layers the following year. $5,000 POODLE DOGS That isn't a bad idea of Townley's, that the rich men of this country be compelled to register their incomes and proffer to the government all above their actual needs. The argument that the young men in being compelied to serve in the war give more than mere money is true, absolutely true. To our way of thinking, Mr. Townley's pro- posal errs in but,one respect; in fixing the amount at $5000 a year as all ne- cessary for the rich. to live on. Many of the rich men pay their cooks twice that amount; rich society women pay their social secretaries more than $5000 a year, and have been known to pay more than that for a poodle.dag. . When Townley. adyocates conscrip- tion of wealth, it is easy to fathom:the deep animosity he awakens in the hjre- ling press owned by men wha would come under the provisions of his: pro- posal. It is easy to see why the.cheap hirelings of that heloved trinity. of dailies, the Grand Forks Herald,~Fargo Forum and Bismarck Tribune, tear their hair in anguish at the thought a majority of the voters of this state heed his counsel and applaud his sentiments. Isn't it awful, Mabel?—PARSHALL (N. D.) LEADER, INSULT TO FARMERS The two chief speakers at the Wells county old settlers’ picnic took special pains to’ cast slurs on the farmers’ political organization of North Dakota and it would be interesting to know whether or not this part of the pro- gram .- was prearranged. The fact that much of the arrangement was in the hands of Fessenden men who are known -to be hostile to the reforms de- " sired by the farmers lends color to such suspicions, : The idea seems quite prevalent that the tillers of the soil, like Cain, are without respect before the Lord. The sooner the farmers know who their enemies are in their ‘own midst a8 well as their enemies in the great Uibrirety the better—WELLS DALY PRESS, FESSEN- : Edito Kin Res Coun June “W the June For is a chief ent “A ed ! and mee ley, leag pur and and R 8 Teb
