In those- easy-going/ pioneer days the inspector from Washington ^---• pot around -only once a year to check up postmaster^'~accounts.J It was several months after Lincoln left New >' Salem that the inspector called on ' , hijm, in Springfield, for settlement. Lincoln was in his rOojn, up ovei " 'Joshua Speed's store. When the inspector presented his account, Lin- : Coin looked at it a moment, then wfcnt over, to his desk and took out an old blue sock.

Not a LOCAL BANK INSURED UP TO $5,000 " The Wes^ McHenry State Bank today received from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at Washington'the official signs which will hang at air receiving windows as visible evidence that the depositors of this institution are insured. The West McHenry. State Bank 5s one of more than f4,000 licensed banks in the country which are receiving these signs. Insured banks are able to offer protection to their depositors up to $5,000. Statistical studies' have shown that this maximun fully protects more than 97 per cent of all the depositors in insured banks.- ' y ' A statement by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation follows: "The purpose of the signs is to let depositors know which banks are insured- Heretofore, although 90 percent of the licensed banks are insured, depositors have had no easy mean9 of identifying them. "If, by any unforseen circumstance, an insured bank should suspend, the Insuraifce Corporation (would" begin paying off the depositors just as soon as a receiver was appointed for the closed institution. The depositors would receive their money in a few days instead of waiting months or years as was the case in the former a mm the UJ^smK FINDS MILK COSTS FROM 11,000 COWS Showing Difference Between1 Profit and Loss. Declaring thaf the dairy herd im provement associations are often responsible for the difference between profit and loss in daify farming, Ivan McKellip, extension specialist in animal husbandry at the Ohio State university, points out that the associations are making' it easy to practice selective breeding, to eliminate low producers, and to feed individual cows according to their productidb records. Mr. McKellip states that last year the 11,000 Ohio cows in the dairy herd improvement associations averaged 7,597 pounds, of milk and 322 pounds of butterfat. They made $136 above feed costs, which amounted to $93, and tb% product "£^i>rodtwt^ worth $229.: . . .r The feed cost f6r 100 pounds of milk was $1.22 and the feed cost for producing one pound of butterfat was 28.8e cents. The average labor income from the average association cow was approximately $90 and the average labor income per hoyr per cow was about 60 cents. i According to dairy herd improvement figures, the dairy farmef milking an average herd of cows and getting the average market price for the milk is making only six cents an hour for the time he spends with his' herd. ThU is 54 cents less per hour than the herd association member makes. method of liquidation. This is not Dairy herd improyment associations, only a benefit to the depositors, but -McKellip declared, have been operatit saves the community from a terrific iDg in the state for the past 16 yeara economic and social blow. When the depositors receive their insured accounts they assign their claims to the Insurance Corporation. Thereafter liquidation proceeds on a business-like b^sis with the maximum chance of the Corporation and other creditors being paid in full.".

It is no longer an 'experiment but a decided help in keeping yearly milk, butterfat, feed, and cost records on each cow in the association. Knowing each cow's production, these men have been able to increase the production of their cows in eight years from 270 pounds of butterfat to 360 pounds of butterfat. As ordinarily" conducted, he stated, a dairy herd Improvement association is an organization of between 20 and 50 dairymen who co-operatively employ a man to keep production, feed, and income records of their cows. Boutflours System of Feeding Dairy Cattle Visit The NEW WALNUT ROOM . Justen's Hotel, McHenry : Saturday Night ' DUTCH PLATE LUNCH, 20c '-*• fcfcfcHESTRA - FREE DANCING FRED JUSTEN, Prop.

HKTTF.RMAN) Up in Canada, a practice that is attracting attention is the Boutflours system of feeding dairy cattle. This system calls for a material reduction in the total roughage fed and the elimination of succulent roughage. Under this system the dairy cow Is not only fed a grain ration that is 5 or 6 per cent higher in protein than the common 18 per cent protein ration, but it Includes a varietj of protein rich feed, the theory being that the variety insures higher consumption of feed as wei: as rapid and econ< ' -al gains. Another feature of this system is a gnerous ration fed the dry cow for six weeks prior to freshening. This is called the "steaming up" process. Special attention is also given to the development of the calf and h^'fer, the object being to build a good machine by the use of lots of good roughage supplemented with the necessary grain. Many dairymen are very skeptical of such a system because it is so different from the common methods. It is pointed out that the breeder has sought for big roomy cows capable of handling much feed. Advocate&jpf this new system point out that evfen with big eowB probably more bulk ami fiber has been fed than they could utilize efficiently.

They report that cows fed on ground hay produced l.«31 per cent more milk and 4.84 per cent more butterfat than they did when fed on hay not ground. Cows refused nearly 30 per cent of the unground hay and refifsed only about 11 per cent of" the ground hay. However, considering the cost of grinding the hay, the profit was negligible and not sufficient to recommend the practice. On the other hand, of course, there; have been some more favorable reports on the grinding of alfalfa. The Pennsylvania station reports that the? nutrients in ground hay are slightly more digestible with the exceptipn of crude fiber. The Walker.Gordon farms report rather favorably on their plan which is to draw alfalfa green, then to dry it artificially and grind it immediately. It is then stored In bags. By JR. E. Cray, Extension Specialist, tB Poultry Husbandry Ohio State University.-- WNU Service. . """ A use for some of the surplus milk on the farm is seen in the practice of milk-fattening broilers. This practice may lead to four possible gains. Milk-fattened broilers \dd weight faster than do cockerels on rawge. Their meat is of better quality, and in some markets the broilers will command a better price because of it By hastening the maturity of the cockerels for broilers the poultryman can sepa-,, rate them from the pullets sooner, which will result In better laying stock. Fattening cockerels in feeding batteries leads to best results, and very fine results may be secured by pen-fattening if the pens are darkened between feedings so that the birds exercise less than they do normally. A good fattening ration ipay be made of three pounds of yellow corn meal and one pound of wheat flour middlings, mixed with liquid milk to the consistency of a batter that, pours readily from a bucket If liquid milk is not available, semisolid buttermilk may be used in place of the skimmilk at the rate of 1% pounds to each gallon of water. Very little feed should be given the birds the1 first day a fattening ration is put before them. Let the birds get hungry. Give them as much feed'-fts they can clean up in five minutes the morning of the second d?y. and in the evening, as much a& th^y will eat In ten tninutts. Not until the third day should .the chickens be given full feedings as much as the/ will eat in 10 to 15 minutes morning, noon, and night Nothing to drink should be given the chickens. As much liquid as they need is contained in the wet mash. FOR SALE FOR SALE -- Mathews Gpys Machine for cooking and lighting. Used but two years in Pistakee Bay home. Cost $650.

Green grass should "make up most of their feed and only a limited amount of grain should be fed. Plenty of fresh, clean drinking water should be supplied. Affler two weeks, if The goslings have plenty of grass, they will not need any other feed. In case extra feed is needed a suitable mash can be made of two parts shorts, one part of corn meal or ground oats. After six weeks old, if extra feed is still needed, the mash should be changed to equal parts shorts, corn meal, and ground oats with 5 per cent meat scrap. Where pasture is- good, most goslings are raised from the time they are two or three weeks old to fattening time without additional feed. Whole grain should not be fed until the goslings are well feathered. Because of a limited demand, it Is doubtful if geese can. be profitably raised except where they have good range.

Any poultryman, observes a writer In the Country Gentleman, whose range is rot already so equipped can well consider installing certain practical labor-savkrig devices. A lot of time can be wasted carrying water In palls, so any range on which a considerable number of chicks is reared should .be piped for water. Three-quarter-inch pipe for leaders one-half-lnch plpfe for laterals, with an automatic, self-feedihg shut-off near each colony house, will more than pay for the complete cos£ before the season is half over. 'To'keep the water cool, the pipe should bfe laid In a furrow which has been plowed up and laid back over the pipfe. Once a day the pans can be rinsed with a large bottle brush, which is all the labor required in the watering operation. In the fall the pipes pan be taken up and stored till spring comes again. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE "Christ Jesus" was the subject of the Leeson-Sermon In all Churches of Christ, Scientist on Sunday, September 2. The Golden Text was, "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God : and every one that IOTeth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him" (I John 8:1). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "But thou, Bethlehem Bphratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that Is to"bs ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting"' (Mlcah 5:2). • The Lesson-Sermon also Included' the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "Jesus was born of Mary. Christ is the true Idea voicing good, the divine message from God to men speaking to the human consciousness. . . . The corporeal man Jesus was human" (p. 8821. CjABBY QERTIE Cost of Cooling Milk v The New York State College of Agriculture kept some figures and where electricity cost four cents per kilowatt hour it cost 11.4 cents per can to cool mijk with electricity and 13.7 per can to cool milk with ice. It should be remembered that the cost of cooling with ice is not all cash cost, a considerable proportion of the cost being represented by labor in harvesting and storing the ice. It* requires about .8 per cent of a kilowatt hour of current per can of milk cooled; NELL'S PAVILION Johnsburg Bridge 3 Miles North of McHenry FISH XVEBY TOIDAY HITS New Continent Under Pacific Stretching beneath the surface of the north Pacific lies a continent hitherto unknown, with huge plains broader than an above-surface continent, has been revealed by a depth finder's No Cure for Stunted Chicks Start a chick In the way he should go--and you will reap the reward, says Miss Cora Cooke, Extension specialist in poultry, University farm, St. Paul.

Production of Geese According to the 1930 census, Missouri ranks^fourth in the production of geese, says a writer In Missouri Farmer. Geese production in the United States has, since 1910, passed completely from the South Central to the North Central states. This shift is attributed to the fact that geese were formerly produced in the South mainly tor the feathers, and that as the demand for feather declined In that section the production of geese was abandoned. > . oo or 08 JO * 99j) ipjjq sjqj jo sjeqenem jo; uotntuooun t)ou si waq; ui •BDiJemy q*io>i punoj »q 0} saaj; qojjq Mojiai aq) jo )sa9j«t •q; )SBoq upuuBQ uae)SB9 pus pn*i •fua M3N 'aws naoi ujequrou •*w|l wqwia ««IM ^ 300,000 Footp*tk« in England England has nearly 800,000 footpaths, and disputes concerning them have averaged about 2,000 a year.
