The present year will see all previous records for efficient spending by housewives eclipsed hands down, according to Dr. H. E. Barnard of Washington, famous authority on food and pioneer worker in the drafting of America's pure food and drug laws. "Reasons for the present trend toward careful consideration of the pennies are sound and havp little relation to paper losses In Wall Street," dedared Doctor Barnard, In an address here. "The modern woman has learned business methods and she is merely putting her knowledge to use. Wasting dollars isn't good form? And so millions of mothers in well-organized and efficiently operated homes are buying with careful thought of the real values in food, furniture, cloth- ,lng, and other necessity that contributes to the family he&lth and happl- TRvAjnn T/tE am POOR FEED PLANS CUT HERD PROFIT Milk Yield Decreases if Cows Don't Get Right Ration. Indifferent feeding methods for the dairy herd are sometimes largely responsible for a drop in milk proHnc tlon during the summer, and an un even production which has a bad ef feet upon the profits of the dairyman It is pointed out by G L Blackpu;?! of the animal husbandry departn of the Ohio State university. "The time to plan the summer man agement program ts while the cattle are enjoying good pasture," « Black men. "The big flow of milk t 1 vt ally comes in May and June wh ^ cattle are enjoying nearly Ideal Ing conditions. Later, when flies, ' weather and dried-up pastures Cf"i « along, there cornel a big slump !n i production and the spring fresher cowe never come back to the in-d; level of production." Blackman asserts that when the un desirable pasture conditions come on It may be profitable to keep the cattle up during the day, and to feed some extra roughage, such aa silage. Sometimes more grain may also be added profitably. In addition to the careful management during the summer, a good breeding system which will bring the cows into milk at the times when the supply of milk Is generally low and prices good, will help the dairyman solve the problem of uneven production and consequent loss. Grain Feeding of Cows on Pasture Necessary Green, succulent pasture Is naturally high In protein but is low In total digestible nutrients. A cow milking over twenty pounds of milk a day cannot eat enough pasture to provide the necessary carbohydrates to maintain that production. Grain feeding of this cow on pasture is absolutely necessary, says J. C. Nisbet, extension dairyman, Kansas State Agricultural college. Her grain ration need not be high In protein--home-grown feeds will balance the pasture. A mixture of 400 pounds of corn and 200 pounds of oats should be fed at the rate of one pound of grain to every four and one-half pounds of milk from the Ayrshire, Jersey and Guernsey, and one pound of grain to five pounds of milk from the Bolstein. Dry pasture contains about onethird as much protein as the green succulent grass. An understanding of this fact makes the successful dairyman begin to add a high protein feed to his grain ration as soon as pasture starts to dry. The grain mix then is composed of 400 pounds corn, 200 pounds oats, and 100 pounds of cottonseed meal. The rate of feeding is changed to one pound of grain daily to every pound of fat produced a week. Plan Abundant Supply ~ of Roughages for Winter The shortage of good roughage during the past winter should Insure an abundant supply of this type of dairy feed during the future. Sometimes we need a real shortage in order to impress upon us the value of roughage as an essential part of the dairy cow's ration. As a matter of fact, roughage should form the basic part of the ration, with enough concentrated feeds being used to supplement the roughage from the standpoint of total nutrients and protein needed. If sufficient alfalfa and dover hay Is not in sight to meet the needs of the cattle during the coming winter, we would suggest that soy beans be gl^en consideration. Soy beans are an annuaL They may be cut for bay or they may be threshed and used as a protein supplement They will grow on land that Is more acid than will clover or alfalfa. However, they will respond well to lime. The seed should be inoculated to give the best results In most cases. Arkansas to Have World's Largest Fish Hatchery Lonoke, Ark. -- A fish hatchery, Which upon completion in 1931, will be the largest in the world, ts under construction here. X; Conceived by the Arkansas Fish and Same commission, the hatchery cost-# ig approximately $200,000 is being . financed by revenue derived from the •iale of state bunting and fishing licenses. Construction work and stocking of the plant is under the direction of Dell Brown, superintendent of the United States Bureau of Fisheries. Physical Condition of Cow at Time of Calving The physical condition of tbe cow at the time of freshening has a direct relation to the milk production for the entire lactation period, according to Doctor Eckles. Experience shows that If a cow freshens In poor physical condition as a result of having been fed poor rations for a period preceding, she starts considerably below her normal level of milk production and no amount of care In feeding and management will later bring her up to the level she should have reached dm been In proper condition. |H- ti €, !' >;«• ^ • r v if V' > . . / • ' • Monkeys Have Feast on Cigar, Then Get Sick Minot, N.

Pasture Food Value More food value per acre Is obtained from pastures when they are not grazed too early or too closely. Early pastures, even though they are bulky, supply an abundance of protein. For dairy cows such pastures should be supplemented by highly carbonaceaus concentrates such as corn, kafir or barley. Grain should be fed at tbe rate of one pound to each five or six pounds of milk produced when the cows are on good pasture Giant Pythrai The reticulated pythons found in the Philippine Islands are the largest snakes known.

'* -'J"' "I* 'Vr't <4% Two hundred thirty one thousand six hundred ninety two dollars! Already contracts for this huge sum have been signed for home lots at Wonder Lake! Within the year remarkable progress has been made in spite of the most discouraging depression this country has known in many, many years. At least fifty new homes are to be erected of which ten will be permanent residences of Chicago investors. Many people are buying estates of as small as two acres and as much as five acres. A number of investors have purchased as much as 100 feet of water frontager Water in the Lake is at flood and has been throughout the summer, the driest season this section has known in twenty-two years. There are now fifteen boats on the Lake. The homesites are priced at least 60% under similar values at any other lake in Northern Illinois. Wonder Lake, created by man's Ikill out of a river and a valley, is the second largest , lake in this section of Illinois. It is but sixT miles from McHenry. Undoubtedly McHenry^ ^ill reap immeasurable advantages from the success* Of this project, and equally, with its continuance will lome an added impetus and certain acceleration of prosperity so much desired and sought for by busili ness men. People who invest at Wonder Lake wil$F build homes and will buy lumber, cement, bricks ant§ lime; people who live there needs must purchase coi% lee and beans, flour and bacon. It's better to "boost the game" anyway--it'^ almost certain lo go over In a big way. . / You know how land values grew at Lake Geneva.' short time ago Crystal Lake was farm land. Wonder Lake values are almost certain to excel those at other lakes in Chicagoland. Invest no#; Motoring from McHenry, through the pioneer town of Ringwood, over roads marked out and builtr by the settlers of an hundred years ago^ you see Wonder Lake, sparkling in the « sun, long before you come to Wonder Woods. As the arms of the Sea are said to stretch into rock bound coasts, so the inlets, the fjords and the bays of Wonder Lake, like fingers, cling to the tree clothed knolls which rim the Lake's sapphire surface, and leave you almost • heeathless with the sight. At Wonder Woods a new dock leaves the sandy beach and juts into a shady bay, making a place for the swift motor launch that takes you around and over the lake. The Lake is blue; blue as the sky above it. Where, a year ago, pioneer gravelled roads crossed the lands and threaded the pastures where cattle grazed, knee deep in the lush grasses, kept green by eternal flow of the springs whose rivulets flowed into the Nippersink, now sparkle the loveliness of this beautiful lake, its ten mile#* of shore line shaded by oaks, green an(|# grey. Modern financial daring; moderi), engineering science; the modern derr % mand for health and sunshine; for res# and play, worked this transformation. For more than thirty years Jones. i& Winter have occupied the same suitf ^ of offices in the Monadnock building£v on Jackson Boulevard, near Stat# Street, in Chicago. Some of the most inviting resorts around the shores of ; 'Lake Geneva were financed, planned and promoted by this old firm. Randolph & Perkins, consultary engineers on the Panama Canal, arf ihen with an accepted national repifc i tation. It was they who engineered thf dam at Wonder Lake; who planted it* footings in the Neolithic blue clay, and reared the barrier of cement and steel, which holds back the waters of th« Nippersink and the gushing springs--- i Which pour forth pure, clear floods. Even now, after a season of ^drought not equalled in twenty-fly® years, the waters of Wonder Lake sli|> over the top of the spillway, whose „ white surface wave and weather are changing to mossy green. The lazy flood of the Nippersink and the water from scores of springs on the floor of the lake make beautiful and intricate patterns against tbe wall's sheer face Us the summer breezes push the dancing billows over the spillway's lip. Jones & Winter have fulfilled every promise of their prospectus of moA than a year ago. More than 1700 acres of land were purchased and above 800 acres of this rolls the blue splendor of Wonder Lake, now second largest, just as &£¥ !&&&" ised, in all northern-Illinois*; ' • • •\ 4 1 •' / / 'V ; ' Bordering the lake, and sloping intgjts clear waters are the most attractive homesites of any iii this wide section. Five islands mark its surface and provide a scene where you, like Robinson Crusoe, may be master "from center all around to the sea," The oak groves, with here and there a sycamore and here and there a hickory, have beeij^fpreserved to provide the forests' cool depth into which you may retire when you come to the end of the day. Chicago with six sweltering millions is but forty-five miles distant with perfect transportation in between. More than two-thirds of Wonder Woods has been platted, cut into homesites and sold. This is but one of several subdivisions to be made of this property. ~ ^ Jones »& Winter have purchased and stocked the lake with millions of fish. Schools of them, sixty feet wide \ by more than 200 feet long may be seeif' from the gunwales of the motor boaj as you cleave the blue waters on youi sightseeing trip. A fish ladder has' been erected from the bed of the Nip? persink as it goes on its way after i|< leaves the dam, to the surface of th# lake, so that the trout, black bass an<| all the varieties of fish common to this section may find in the lake harborage, for their young and provide joy and sport for the angler. Streets--graveled--sixty feet wide, have been constructed; a dock has beeit i built, and the land cleared for the home - clever. " Cj Into their deeds they have writtei racial and other restrictions which wijf\ forever guarantee the kind and clasl and race of people to own the land an^b, the lake itself. It is a private lake; aoi cess to it can be had either now or ill the future only through ownership of property within the reserve which Jones & Winter have created. * For those who prefer homesites fcack from the lake, parks are provided, On the water front. For those who own the hill lots there will be certain an<Jr easy access to the delights of aquatic sports; boating, and bathing in summegf, Mid skating in winter. t r These things are done; they are '-'."'Igmong the accomplishments. To this day Jones & Winter and their Wonder Lake project have "madi - good." : y The level of Wonder Lake will al* fays remain the same. The Nippersink fed by a watershed of 95 square miles and on the floor of the lake there are scores of living springs. There is little Season to doubt the statement made by geologists that once upon a time a river as broad as the Fox flowed through" the channel of the Nippersink. Changis in the earth's structure, the cutting away of the trees which once covered ^ |he Wisconsin hills reduced its flow blip left the Nippersink to mark the traces of an ancient and noble stream. --^ What Jones i& Winter, their sur- Wyors and engineers have done to create the astonishing difference between the present and the past they will continue to do to achieve a yet more astonishing difference between the present v and the future. It will be quite a city when &11 built up. When the golf course now projected is completed and the country club house of noble proportions crowns a pleasant hill commanding a view of the lake and its farther shores, thousands will come to enjoy its beauty. ,v Community parks will be within wisy walking distance from every lot on the entire project, and will circle the lake like links in a chain. ^ The schools of fingeriings with Wnich the lake is stocked will grow and . j there will be rare sport for- those followers of Izaak Walton who seek pleasure with rod and line. In the sedges and among the marshes at the head of the lake will be ^own wild celery and rice paddies completing a refuge for wild duck, brant, and wild geese, as well. Within a few years the top soil along the beaches wjll be washedaway and will lay bare the golden sanj and glacial pebbles of a beach unsui* passed anywhere in Northern Illinois. Water mains will be laid accessibly : to every lot and electrical lines for light and power will be brought to each homesite. Associations, one for each subdi- • Vision, will be formed and membership to these Associations will be made up of property owners. * While it has been difficult to de- --atribe in Words the incredible transformation which has taken place withi# "a year, the changes to come; th# Achievements of the future; the pi% . ture to front the eye in half a dozea^-- years froin now,, staggers the imagination. ^ ?
