C., Guelph, again warns the farmers of Ontario against in- ferior lightning .rods.llt says: “One of the same' companies that buncoed the farmers with iron- centred rods last year is reported to be selling the same rod again this year. Watch out for them. “There is no difficulty_ in spot- ting these rods. The outside cov- ering is a thin sheet of capper,' one-half inch wide, and two gal-' van-ized steel or iron wires aboutI No.10. The copper sheath is twist-l ed around the strip and wires,I giving the rod a corrugated ap-' pearance. The steel or iron will rust out in from five to ten «rears. For photograph of what happen- ed to a rod of this kind in less than eight years, see Figure 34 Bulletin 220, which may be had by writing the Department of Agriculture, Toronto. ' An Illinois firm is circularizing the trade and others advocating the “Mast” Lightning rod sys- tem. They declare that t.v'sted cables are positively dangerous, claiming they act like “choke- coils,” that tubes only should be used, that insulators must be used, etc. For concentrated essence of error these circulars surpass any- thing else ‘the department has S'eene Beware of the man with the iron-centred rod and the man .who claims that twisted cables are dangerous. The Department will be glad to be informed regarding the operations of either. The police raided a Chinese gambling joint in Owen Sound on Sunday morning, arresting anum- ‘ber of inmates. The keeper of the ‘resort was fined $300 and costs, ,and three frequenters $20 and costs each.

In I“, is paid iCash Profits Do Not Measuro the Re- turns From a Farm. 1 [Prepared by United States department of t agriculture.) To obtain fuller Knowledge of the . value of this direct contribution from ] the farm. the United States department of agriculture has recently concluded Just how much does the average farmer make? The answer to this puz zling question has been long sought by agricultural experts, since it is the ulti- mate test of all systems of farm man- agement. it is simple enough to calm: late the cash profits ‘received in the course of the year, but these do not measure the farmer’s success. The: farm supplies him with much besides- money-with food, shelter and fuel. For these things the city worker has to pay out a large part of his wages. They must, therefore. be included in any just estimate of the farmer‘s in- come. in other words, the city worker is paid entirely in cash, the farmer partly in cash. partly directly in the necessities of life. an. investigation which included 438 farm families. divided among ten states in different sections of the coun- try. The investigators found that on these farms the cost of maintaining each grown person was on the average $176 a year. Of this sum only about 22 per cent was paid out in cash. The remainder was furnished by the farm. not in'the form of money. but in those things for which the money would have been ex- changed. The extent to which a farm can thus be made self sustaining, made to supply the wants of the family that lives upon it without resorting to buy- ing and selling. is indicated by condi- tions in the particular area of North Carolina included in the investigation. This area. it may be said,’ is not re- garded as typical of Southern agricul- ture. CFOâ€"ow.â€" This was even more apparent in other sections where the farms were less nearly self sustaining than in this particular area of North Carolina. The hull: of the groceries was always bought, but the total quantity con-. sumed depended to a great extent upon the quantity or animal products and vegetables raised on the farm. Where these abounded the consump- tion of groceries diminished. From this it would seem. that an obvious way to etTect an important saving in expenses is to raise more vegetables and animal products on the farm. Whether it is better to cubdown ex- penses in this way or to increase re- ceipts by concentrating attention on cash crops is one of the great problems in farm 111111111ge1ucnt. the answer to which in each indix idual case depends upon local conditions. In the past. however, many {11111110113 have not re- alizcd the existence of the alternative. The two other inmortant items in the cost of maintenance are house rent and labor. Both of these it is a com- nion error to overlook in estimating the famncr's income. Since the house usually goes 11. ith the {1111111 and the 111- 1301 is 1'1'L)o1f01111 (l by 111011111015 of the faniil) both 1110 taken for g111nted. The investigators found that the av- erage annual value of the food, fuel, oil and shelter enjoyed by the farm family was $505. 01? this sum the aver- age farm furnished directly $429, leav- ing only $76 to he bought. The grocery bill was always the largest item in the cash expenditure. With labor it is much the same. The members of the family secure by their work comfort which they would other- wise have to buy, 01310 put it another way, if they did the work for some- body else they would be paid. As it is, they pay themselves. â€"â€" '. It is obvious. therefore. that what the fmmjurhishes directly in food. in fuel. in shelter and in rent is an impor- tant part of the farm family‘s income. On the .other hand. it must be remem- bered that the farmer has capital in- vested in his business, the interest‘ou which must be earned before he can truly be said to be making money. In the proper relation of She three factors --intercst on the investment, cash rc- ceipts and direct income from the farm --lies the secret of successful farmin". Homemade Plumb Bob.
