Don’t Let Your Profits
Out with Your Cows
Cows simply can’t keep on producing to the limit of
their capacity on pasture alone. Grass, at its best, is
“over half water. No cow can eat enough to keep
herself in good condition and produce milk in satis-
factory quantity at the same time. They require a
regular and substantial grain ration, too. Dairymen
who feed Larro with pasture get more milk than those
who don’t—and more profit at the end of the year.

“The Philadelphia potato market
slumped today and prices on Vir-
(ginia Cobblers dropped sharply to
!$4.00 to $4.50. This was a decline
{of b50c to The. More liberal re-
|ceipts and lack of interest on the
[part of buyers were the chief weak-
| ening factors while the increasing
[supply of New Jersey stock also
|had a depressing effect. The heavy
[movement of Jersey tomatoes is
inot expected before the 19th. of
{the month with the peak about the
second week of August. In South
| Jersey the vines are still green in
{most fields and the patches that
{have been dvg are yielding well.
The size is good and there is less
{scab than usual. Growers estimate
that about 2,000 cars will move
from ‘this secttdn but that about
25% will be hauled by motor truck.
Jersey potatoes sold at 90c to $1.10
{per 5-8 basket today, according to
the Pennsylvania and Federal Bu-
reau of Markets.
Pennsylvania
moderate
spinach was in
supply and weaker with

brought 2c to 4e. Cabbage was

stock selling at $1.25 to $1.50 per
barrel. New Jersey tomatoes were
more plentiful and the demand
slow. Mosi; sales ranged from
$1.50 to $2.25 per 5-8 basket.
Pennsylvania ‘white turnips moved
slowly at 50 to 60c per 5-8 basket
but yellow stock brought as high as
$1.00. New Jersey peas were wea-
ker and prices declined. Most
sales were made at $1.25 to $3.50

Feed The Colt And Mare
The brood mare needs liberal
feeding while suckling her foal, say
horse specialists of the Pennsyl-
vania State College. Encourage the
foal to eat some crushed oats and
bran and nice soft legume hay early
in life. This will help the mother
as well as the colt. If she’ is working
in addition to suckling the colt it is
quite a drain on her system.
Picnic In Woodlands
Picnic time has come. More

which provide us with a beauty
spot for our gatherings. In picnie

and the comfort it gives us. Pro-

WHY GOVERNMENT PRICE
FIXING WON'T WORK
One of the most persistent fallacies
is’ government price-fixing on com-
petitive commodities. There is al-
ready government price-fixing in com. |
modities and services where competi-
tion plays no part in price determi-
nation. These are railway transpor-
tation, electricity, gas, telephone and
telegraph, and so on. Here govern-
ment price-fixing is solely to protect
the consumer. There are two fatal
objections to government price-fixing
for agricultural products, which rep-
resent the most competitive business
in the world. These are, first, that it
will not work; second, that it is al-
ways done for the consumer as
against the producer.
Government price-fixing for agricul-
tural products would work if at the
same time the government regulated
wages, profits, middlemen’s margins,
the production of all commodities and
the rationing of all consumers. In
short, if the population were enlisted
in one vast army, directed and ra-
tioned, price-fixing would work, but
otherwise not. If the price is fixed on
the wheat the farmer sells, then he
cannot keep on producing wheat it
wages or the cost of harvesting ma-
chinery rise, or if the cost of other
material he buys rises. So the next
step would be the fixation of other
prices, and yet other prices.
The United States government
fixed the price of wheat but once in
our history, and then it was to benefit
consumers, not producers. The gov
ernment might, in an emergency, fix
some agricultural prices for the pur
pose of elevating such prices. Such
action would inevitably and speedily
lead to outcry from city consumers
and a consequent reversal of policy
Indeed, the consumers, not the pro
ducers, are most likely to demand
and secure food price regulation by
government authorities. The farmer
therefore, who favors any form of
governmental price-fixing is working
against his own interests. He is put
ting his head into a noose.—James E
Boyle, Professor of Rural Economics
Cornell University, in the Banker
Farmer.
STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
On Fifteen Per Cent Bonds

Mrs. Norris beamed as she greeted
Aunt Emmy and exclaimed, “Now |
know all my financial worries are
over! I wanted to tell you right away
“What have you bought this time?”
Aunt Emmy demanded suspiciously.
“Well, I haven’t paid the money over
yet, but I have found the loveliest
investment where my money will be
perfectly safe and will earn a nice
income for me right away,” Mrs
Norris said. “I'm going to buy bonds,
good safe bonds, that will pay me
fifteen per cent interest—"
“Wait a minute, you'll have -to go
some, Maud Norris, to tell me about
‘good safe bonds’ that pay fifteen per
cent!” Aunt Emmy broke in.
“They are safe,—the man said so
and this booklet says so too!”
“Do you know what a bond is?’
asked Aunt Emmy.
“No, but it’s awfully safe. I'm sure
of that,” Mrs. Norris said. “Every:
body knows that bonds are
“My dear, some bonds are safe and
some are not. When you buy a bond
you simply lend your money to the
company putting out the bonds. Bond
issues are secured generally by the
company mortgaging or pledging
some of its property. In other words,
it offers a certain asset as security
that it will return your money to you
on the date the bond matures. It
agrees to pay you a certain sum each
year for the use of your money, usu
ally something between five and eight
per cent. No company can afford to
pay too much for its money—and as
to fifteen per cent bonds—why it
would be very unusual for a company
to be able to earn enough to enable
it to pay fifteen per cent for the
privilege of using other people’s
money,—moreover, if it is good
enough to borrow money at all it can
borrow it more cheaply than that!”
“Oh dear!” wail~d Mrs. Norris,
“then a bond isn’t a good safe invest-
ment—"
“Don’t jump at conclusions so fast!”
said Aunt Emmy. “I did not say that.
A bond is as safe as a church if the
company that issues it is financially
sound, has a high credit rating and is
making money. Before you buy bonds
assure yourself that the company be
hind them is above reproach.”
“But the man who told me about
these fifteen per cent bonds was 80
earnest—I felt sure I could believe
him.”
“Don’t turn over any money to him
until you have some advice on the
bonds from your bank,” admonished
Aunt Emmy. “Then, if you find out
that the bonds are questionable you
will escape another bad investment.”

Keep Heifers Growing
A great many heifers on pasture
are looking thin. They should re-
ceive some grain daily to keep them
growing throughout the summer.
Heifers that go into winter quarters
in a thin condition may be stunted,
and it is more expensive to grow
them out than the heifers that have
been kept in a fair condition of
flesh throughout the summer. :
Audience Only Judge
of Scenes That “Go”
As a rule, it is easy for the author
to discover before rehearsals draw to
an end where the weaknesses, if any,
of his play exist. It is a pecullar thing
that a play which reads well often
acts badly, and vice versa, writes Cos-
mo Hamilton in the Saturday Evening
Post.
I have noticed many times, with my
own work and with the work of other
men, that there are certain scenes
which seem to be extraordinarily
amusing on paper, but which have only
to be put to the test of rehearsal to
drop head first into the pit in which,
in less expensive days, the orchestra
tuned up. It is, too, quite Impossible
to ascertain, until a play has beep
well rehearsed, what lines are to be
cut, what entrances altered and what
exits are to be brought about with
greater or less rapidity.
It has been proved again and again
how hopeless it is to make a true es
dmate of a play’s appeal to an audi-
ence until it faces one. There are
few authors and even fewer directors
who dare to prophesy exactly how a
play will take.. Scenes which have
been rehearsed for laughs and which
have appealed to all concerned as be-
ing extremely funny during rehearsal
may be received with stony silence by
the people in front on “the night.”
Other scenes which appéar to be
trivial and unimportant may go with
roars of laughter, while tragic mo-
ments and those in which the whole
drama of the play has been worked up
to a high pitch may fizzle like dar;
gunpowder when put to the final test.
People Have Learned
Value of Thermometer
A man named Galileo invented a
thermometer in 1592. The liquid was
in an open vial, and there was no
mark or scale to show temperatures.
After a while a mark was used show-
ing the temperature of snow and an-
other for the heat of a candle,
Half a century later a man found
he could make a thermometer of a
glass tube with a bulb on one end, so
by sealing the other end you could
carry the thing about. Another half
century or more passed, and Fahren-
heit became interested. He developed
the thermometer until it was a prac-
tical instrument, and by 1714 he had
established his now famous Fahren-
heit scale.
That was over 200 years ago, says
Good Hardware, yet people are just
realizing how actually useful this in-
strument is. For centuries it was
looked upon with superstition; a score
of years ago school children could tell
you the owner of nearly every ther-
mometer in town. The incubator, and
then our scientific dairying, cooking
and gardening, brought the thermom-
eter into common use,
Thermometers are an important
item now. They are in demand every
day of the year among folks who have
learned a little. about their uses.
Many people demand a specially de-
signed thermometer for each differ-
ent purpose.
Misunderstood
An old negro named John Jones,
upon leaving Atlanta, Ga., went to his
bank, a negro institution, and had
his book balanced, which showed a
balance of $200.
Landing in Cincinnati, the old darky
issued a check on the Atlanta bank
for $200, payable to a Cincinnati bank,
In a few days the check was re-
turned marked “Insufficient Funds,”
whereupon the Cincinnati bank sent
an inquiry to the Atlanta bank about
the old negro’s account and the bal-
ance they showed on the pass book,
against which no checks had been is-
sued. The following reply was re-
ceived:
“Gentlemens—We don’t mean that
John Jones ain't got sufficlent funds,
but we mean that our funds are In-
sufficient.”—Forbes Magazine,
Betrayed French Secrets
Major Esterhazy became notorious
through his connection with the Drey-
fus case. It was he who accused
Dreyfus of being the writer of the
famous ‘“bordeau,” alleged to have
been sent to certain German military
officers, revealing French military
secrets. In 1898 Colonel Picquart,
head of the intelligence bureau of the
war office, made discoveries pointing
to Major Esterhazy as the author of
the “bordeau.” Investigation was made
and it was belleved that Hsterhazy
torged Dreyfus’ handwriting and was
the real traitor. He was not con-
victed, however, but was. forced to
leave France and is said to have died
in England in 1923,

Ant’s Toilet Equipment
Ants are always moving about In
close touch with the ground, and yet
a dirty ant is practically unknown,
for they are continually stopping te
clean themselves. The ant 1s, in-
deed, very well equipped In this .re-
spect, having a most extensive toilet
set. The ant’'s tongue serves, when
wet, as a sponge. When dry, tough,
file-like bands on the side make a
splendid brush. Four of its legs are
fitted with hairs which make clothes
brushes, and the two forelegs are
each fitted with a fine and coarse-
toothed comb,

Johnnie Armstrong, the celebrated
Scotch bandit, was seized and hanged
by James V in 1529, when, with 36
nf his band, he offered his services
to the king to suppress the riots of

New Life for Leather
A young Scottish chemist has In-
vented a process for regenerating
leather and other substances. The
product is hardly distinguishable from:
real leather, and is about half the
price of hides.
The leather is first ground into a
fine powder and any impurities re-
moved. A small quantity of binding
substance is then added, which turns |
it into a dough. This, together with
a coloring mixture, is milled until the
whole becomes a uniform mixture, It
Is then pressed on to a strong backing
