SHEER WOOL FROCK Agricultural Bure$tr Better Prospects. SuppU*dA togyri tchuelt uUren.h--edWSrtfaUte eS eDrveipcaer.t ment «f Conditions In the d^iry industry are likely to average better in the next three or four years than during the last four or five, it was stated by the bureau of agricultural economics in its annual dairy outlook report. ' The bureau looks for rising prices of milk cows in 1938 and 1939. It was further stated that "during the next two years, at least, the relation of feed prices and other costs of production to prices of dairy products seems likely to be father favorable for dairymen." ' This winter prices of dairy feeds will be lower and milk production per cow will be higher. Increases in consumption of fluid milk and .cream in cities And villages will tend to offset in part the effect, of increased production of milk on the production of manufactured dairy products, the bureau said. Principal increases in commercial dairy production during the next few years are expected in specialized dairy sections and in some of the newer areas where there has been a marked upward trend in production. Increased consumption of ihiig- <milk and cream during the netft fi've years also was forecast. ' The long-time uptrend in per capita consumption of manufactured dairy products during the last 40 years was attributed .mainly to increased consumption of ice cream, concentrated milks and cheese. Since the; 1900's there has been no consistent"! .tendency for the per capita consumption of butter to incre^ Bf of decrease. p Improvements in processing methods and in refrigeration and transportation facilities, together "with advertising and educational programs have tended to widen and expand the outlets for dairy products.

The man who sells eggs finds it pays to count his chickens both before and after they are hatched, if he wants to know how well his flock is producing, says Prof. L. M. Hurd of the poultry department at Cornell university. A daily record of eggs laid by pullets and by hens, together with a record of all culling and deaths in the flock helps the poultryman to find the source of his profit or loss. A calendar to jot down this daily information may be fastened to the wall of the egg room. IF PRICE £9 RIGHT--Well pay cash for McHenry County farm, 60 to 120 acres; prefer one with stock and tools.

QritJfor Birds on Range It depends entirely upon the type of sod as. -to whether or not grit should be supplied to birds on the range. If the soil is sandy or gravelly there is no use of supplying it. If it is a h«»vy type of soil a supply of gravel or commercial poultry grit probably is a good thing. There is some question as to whether or not it is necessary to supply grit to poultry but most of the experiments have indicated some advantage to using, it., j SAFE DRIVERS--Please call at our office for information on the safe drivers' cash reward.

Protect the Buzz Saws WORDS OF WISE MENU-I Burz *®ws, when idle, should be protected from damage, and »i«<> prevented from being a source of injury to people or animal#. An excellent cover .for'a buzz saw is a guard made from an old discaftied automobile tire. This will not only keep the, blade, dry and prevent anything from hitting and dulling the pojnta,. but it will greatly reduce chance of injury to children The size of the tire required will depend upon the size of the saw. QABBY QERTIE POTPOURRI The Water Torpedo The larger torpedoes travel about six miles at the rate of thirty miles per hour, or at the rate of forty miles for two or three miles.

A fish gets eaaght wb doesn't keep his month shut.' Aa Indian Superstition The Indians hung a bow or a powder horn on the moon whenever they planned to go on the warpath, or on a long hunting trip. If the moon tilted so that the bow flippy off, they departed on their expedition-- being assured of fine weather* This is only one of many legends: • . An Driest El Paso, in far West Texas, baa the driest cliinate of any American metrnmliig well as the Spanish, but in 1667 the Danes secured a firm foothold which they retained until the United States purchase in 1917. It was the last major territory to be annexed and the most expensive. Uncle "Sam paid $25,000,000 to Denmark for the three main islands, St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, and 50 islets or cays. In commemoration of this event the Virgin islanders have for 20 years celebrated transfer day on March 31 with song, dance and merry- making, parading about the countryside in carnival attire. Drums, tamborines and all available musical instruments are used to accompany the jumbie (ghost) dancers, ancient group which immortalizes in measured dance rhythm the lives and deeds of biblical characters* . Why Many Fires Start , , in Basements of Homaa Most* fires in homes begin in the basement. This is not a matter of opinion but of statistics. The three major causes of basement fires are improper Use of fuels,r -improper care of flues and ducts and improper care of the basement itself. First of all, the basement should never be a junk room. Even if you do not care to make it an extra living room it should be kept shipshape, dean and never used as a storage place for old magazines, newspapers and other combustible materials. When soft coals are, used, constant attention should be given to the condition of flues, so that flue fires, due to excess soot, cannot occur. If oil is used, the home owner should insist upon a constant supervision service to eliminate the possibility of flare-backs, puff-backs and similar accidents, which have been known to blow open the furnace door and fill the home with noxious fumes. Immediate danger of fire can be removed by keeping all combustible material away from the furnace proper. Why There Are Air "Bumps'* Air "bumps" are produced by~d# scending or ascending air currents. The older popular notion that there were huge pockets or vacuums in the air, in which a machine would drop like a stone, was a myth. An air pocket is defined as a localized condition of the atmosphere, due to varying afld irregular air currents, by which the upward reaction against the planes of the machine being lessened, it suddenly drops as if into a hole. Why Marionettes Are So Called Puppets were given the name marionettes in the Middle Ages. Used in church plays, the girl puppets received, from their fancied resemblance to statues of the Virgin, the title of Little Marias or marionettes* Why Fabrics Go to Pieces Science has discovered that "heat rot," a gradual breaking down of tensile strength in threads as the direct result "of too much heat in ironing, is what makes many fabrics go to pieces suddenly and much too soon. Why It Is "Flash" Money The term "flash money" originated in England. Many years ago that country had a flood of counterfeited notes. When traced to their source it was found that they were made in Flash, a town in Derbyshire. v First Periodical in the United States The first periodical in the United States was Benjamin Franklin's "General Magazine, and Historical Chronicle," issued ita 1714 in Philadelphia.

Why Greenland Is an bland Greenland has an area of only 827,300 square miles and is hardly large enough for a continent.

Why Dankards Are So Called The woitf Dunkard (or Dunker) 4a a corruption of the old German word Tunker or Tunkerd, meaning to dip. One of the cardinal principles of this sect is baptism by Immersion or dipping. Why Boats Are Enclosed . The Bureau of Navigation and Marine Inspection says that enclosing of boat lights is required by law because ribbed glass increases ttye visibility of 1he light with regard to distance. Why East, West Climate Differ The Japan current and the pre> vailing westerly winds blowing over vast areas of temperate oceanic waters modify the climate on the West coast. - Author of "Hew to the Line" Roscoe Conkling in his speech nominating General Grant for a third time at the National Republican convention in Chicago, June 5, 1880, said: "He will hew to the line of right, let the chips fall where they may." ^ tadershlp," said Hi Ho, the sage of Chinatown, "requires a man strong enough to accept blame as well as flattery." NOISE LEONARD A. BARRETT If it be true that, "The deeper the river, the less noise it makes," then we ask, what is the significance of the clamor and the clatter, the hubbub and the tumult of our tttingl ing .wheels of the factory make no unwelcome sound to the manufacturer. The rattle of freight car wheels transporting merchandise from coast to coast make no disturbing vibrations to the financier who recognizes in such activity definite signs of prosperity. What is the meaning of all those disturbing noises which have almost obliterated silence in the great metropolitan centers where night is as day? A monotonous sound is more disturbing than a variety of noise. A drop of water constantly falling on a stone will bore a hole through it So, monotonous sounds may create serious nervous and mental disturbances. What is the significance of noise? Has it any permanent value? Our estimate of certain sounds must determine the answer. Someone has humorously defined music as "nice noise." There is something majestic in the roar of the falls of Niagara, even when it is heard over the radio. The ancients thought of thunder as the "voice of God." The noise of battle means death an4 destruction. The first cry of the new-born babe means the beginning of a new life. Whatever important place we may assign to noise in the economic and the social world, it is never the cause of progressive development. It may be the signal of either progress or destruction* but never a creative energy: that is always silent. Nature's growth is noiseless. "The lilies toil not, neither do they spin." The flower develops from a bud, and no sound is heard. The poets may dream of the music of the spheres, but that music is in the imagination of the poet. The growth of character is also silent. So are the crises in one's life experiences which mould personality. As the ocean tides display their energy in noiseless strength, so are the mental and spiritual forces which lift one above himself into the rarefied atmosphere of moral courage and clear thinking. We need to get away from the noise at times, in order to evaluate life properly. We are living in a tremendously important era of the world's history. There are conditions which give us grave concern as to the kind of a world our grandchildren will find themselves in. So bewildering are the economic and social conditions that many people refuse to even read about them. The alternatives are definite: we can refuse to think or try to think our way through. The latter course is the only wise method. But in all our thinking, there must be times when we have freedom from undue strain and "a place apart" from the clanging symbols of what the world calls prosperity. Not the silent hush of death, but the harmonious silence of life is the reality we seek. Not the silence of an empty heart or a deserted house,' but the silence of holy memories and happy inspirations. Not the noise of war, but the song of peace we seek. • Western Newspaper Union.
