First consideration is a declining cattle market a few months hence. In six or eight months fed steers' may be selling for little more a pound then they cost as feeders. Therefore in laying in his cattle, the feeder should decide about when he expects to market and what he expects fat cattle, to -sell for- at t h a t t i m e . v . V , The second point of caution is that WashingtonN Washington, October 20--Small" advance groups Of legislators are gradually converging on the Capitol to prepare for the special Congressional session called for in a Presidential proclamation. The feeling prevails in well-informed circles that President Roosevelt has invited trouble by placing his five-point legislative program on the anvil six weeks ahead of the and sustained filibuster, which obviously could spell tlje doom of other important measures on the agenda for 'the special session. If the Dixie delegation is favored in the wage standards negotiations, title other regions, which consider their industries damaged by the establishment of wage differentials or exemptions, may retaliate by forcing the Wagner antilynching measure through the legislative assembly. The advocates of a labor standards law calling for a minimum wage of 40 cents per hour and a maximum work week of 40 hours have formidable obstacles in the pathway of their bill as prices continue to rise. Economists have called attention to the tragic experiences of the French in raising wages by government edict without the means to hold down prices.

In buying plainer feeders. sorting is important to know and to get the "good-doing" kind. Successful feeders d6 not get excited and buy feeders at high prices just because others are doing it. This year it may pay to wait until the main rush is over before buying. The fourth point is to get the best possible advice and assistance in buying feeders. There is every indication that plenty of feeder cattle will be bought too high this fall. It is a year when good advice may ^ave the feeder a lot of money. ' Usually the best investment a farmer makes is the reasonable commission which an honest and skilled feeder buyer charges to assist in buying feeder cattle. Such assistance will be particularly .valuable this year. Finally, there is the importance of. getting good weights. Two factors should be kept in mind--to see that the cattle do not have an excessive fill and to insist that they be weighed on scales that have been proved accurate. Teach Chicks to Rooit, Is Advice of an Expert Teach chicks to roost while they are young. By so doing there is far less chance of them huddling up in a corner of the brooder house and smothering, suggests H. L. Wilcke, head of the poultry husbandry, Iowa State college. Provide easily accessible roosts before the brooder stove is removed. Roosts that slope gradually upward have been found best. The first roost pole should be about six inches from the floor. The roost poles need to be close enough together so that a chick may hop from one to another. A two by two inch roost pole is Satisfactory. Dropping boards beneath them will make cleaning easier. Spraying or painting the roosts and other parts of the brooder house with a mixture of one part cresol to five parts crankcase oil or with kerosene will hold mites in check. Lice may be controlled by Black Leaf 40, spread in a thin ribbon layer along the center of the roosts. cent cross-country trip he found "overwhelming evidence" that the people want the wage and hour and the crop control measure now pending in Congress. The veteran politicos ljnow full well that only a chosen few had the Presidential ear at various stops en route so no r^al test of public thinking could be made. Opponents of these legislative proposals consider the White House comment just a sample of high-pressure salesmanship designed to break-down _ the hostility of the solons. Actually, the fate of these measures is uncertain until the Congressional leaders have an opportunity of checking with the returning brethem--to ascertain the effect of their back-home conferences on their previous position in regard to the Roosevelt program. If the mood is more belligerent than concilatory then, the New Deal captains on the Hill have a hard job ahead. If the attitude of the boys indicates indifference on the part of a majority of their constituents, it will be only a matter of time before the farmland wage measures will be enacted into law. Sectional warfare which usually has such a damaging effect on party affairs is likely to break out as efforts are made to rescue the labor standards bill from its pigeon-hole in the House Rules Committee. The expectation that deals could be worked out within a week after the convening of the House of Representatives has little foundation. The South wants protective amendments before reporting the highly controversial bill out for a vote by the full membership. Another sectional problem, heavily laden with political dynamite, is the antilynching bill now before the Senate as unfinished business. Under a gentlemen's agreement, the bill involving race questions has the right of way after the farm legislation is out of trouble. The Southern delegation in Congress find the proposal objectionable. The gronp was out - maneuvered in parliamentary strategy at the last session. They have only a few trumps left to block the enactment--through a vigorous session will be marked by clashes as rival groups jockeying for fajg^pble positions, the 'solons coming from densely populated areas where the labor unions are a strong force are watching the trend of negotiations between' the American Federation of Labor and the C. I. d.; ' It is known that the chieftains of these outfits are in bad grace with tjie rank and file who worry over the future of the labor movement as the topnotchers throw brickbats. The peacemakers believe there will be a fairly honest effort to patch differences as to jurisdiction of the unions, but even the, promoters are not pinning too much faith in the outcome of the parleys. The union criticism of government regulatory bodies is considered a trading point for more concessions from the Administration and Congr«ss. The oratorical clashes over neutrality and the Supreme Court issues, labor leaders hope, will divert attention from the airing of their soiled linen at present. v Why It Is a "Bridewell" Long ago a hospital was bailt in London on the site of a former royal palace over a medicinal spring known as St. Bride's Water. This was contracted to Bridewell. After the Reformation, ^cording to London Answers Magazine, King Edward VI chartered the London hospitals to different work. Christ's hospital was devoted to the education of the young, St. Thomas' to the cure of the sick, and Bridewell was turned into a penitentiary for unruly apprentices and vagrants. Thus "Bridewell" gradually slipped into use as a general name for prisons. Burning the Death Scroll In Burma, when a person is cm the point of death, he is careful to burn a yellow paper scroll on which are written words from the Buddist scriptures, which he has kept with him for such an emergency through life, so that Buddha may know that a sou! is on the way to the spirit worfd and may permit it to cross the No Ulternative Bridge and pnF seed straight to Paradise.

The woods are ablaxe with color and new colorful tall flowers appear. Lakes, rivers, and the well known babbling brook seems to reflect these bright colors. Now, let's consider the type of film to use for fall colors. For example, suppose you are taking a picture of a bed of tall flowers--some deep orange or red and others dark blue. Ordinary film, not the chrome type, would yield a print in which the blighter colored flowers would appear darker than the blue ones, though to the eye the orange and red flowers appeared lighter. It would not, in other words, give true color brightness values in black and white print However, with what is known as panchromatic film the true tonal values in monochrome rendering will be obtained.

John Van QaOdar , Mash for Poultry Flock There is little to be gained by feeding moist maah continuously, according to a North Carolina State college authority, but it has an important place in the feeding schedule of most flocks at some time during the year. It should be used with early hatched pullets to prevent a partial or complete molt; with late hatched pullets to hasten production in the fall; with laying hens to keep up production until October, and with breeding hens to hasten production in January. Three pounds of the regular laying mash moistened with hot water or milk for each 100 birds will give excellent results. This should be fed about two o'clock in the afternoon. rFARM NOTES Egypt is encouraging the cultivation of wheat instead of rice. • • • • Early hatched hens are more successfully forced into a molt than are hens hatched later. £ When the first eggs are found, all pullets that show much comb development should be housed.
