Now a Quick } Quaker Oats | Cooks to perfection in 3to 5 minutes 1 Good News J For those who breakfast in a hurry j There is now a Quaker Oats which cooks in from 3 to S minutes—the quickest cooking oats in the world. It is called Quick Quaker —perfected by our experts. 1 No other oat dish can compare with this in the little I time needed to cook it • The same Quaker flavor • I Quaker Oats dominates because of its flavor. > It is flaked from the finest grains only — just the rich, 1 plump, flavory oats. A bushel of choice oats yields but ten pounds of these extra-flavory flakes. ■ That’s why millions of mothers, all the world over, insist B on this premier brand. They want their children to eat ‘ oats, so they make the oat dish tempting. < Quick Quaker is made from those same selected grains. ■ But we cut the oats before flaking. Then they are rolled I very thin and are partly cooked. Sd the flakes are smaller and thinner—that is all. And those small, thin flakes cook ■ quickly. ■ So there are now two reasons for Quaker Oats. First, # that matchless quality and flavor. Second, oats that cook ■ faster than the coffee. f Tell your grocer which style you prefer. 1 Regular Quaker Oats c""" I / Come in package at left— 1 the style you have always 1 known. « ~ Quic/t Quaker Oat* Come in package at right, with the “Quick" label. ■ Your grocer has both.

FILM ANALYZES HORSE MOVEMENTS

•* V \ * Deipltc Large Number of Tractor* Now Uewd by Farmer* the Draft Horse Still Holds His Own on Most Farms. (Prepared by th* Vnlt*d state* Dtpartmtnt at Aarlcultur* > You have seen a borne walk, trot, pace, gallop, run and jump, but do you • know lust how he does It? You can learn bow front u new United States De- ; partinent of Agriculture motion picture, "The Horse in Motion.” I This one reel til in, sponsored by the bureau of animal Industry, lean analy- ; sis by means of a high-speed camera of all the Important gaits of horses. The ■ gaits are first shown at normal speed, followed by the retarded action, oneelglith of normal. The normal pictures were made 1G to the second, hut the . slow pictures were made 128 to the second. Among the types of horses shown are draft animals, pacers, trotters, hunters, runners and cavalry horses. 1 Ttie technique of the jumps Is demonstrated by Dundy Dude, owned by Gen. John J. Pershing, who was present at the ffl'st showing of the film In Chl- . cttgo, before the Horse Association of America. The movements of cavalry horses are shown by three troopa of United States'cavalry In a stirring charge j <m the parade ground at Fort Meyer, Va. “The Horse In Motion" will be circulated through the T>epartment of Agriculture's film distribution system. Copies may be bought by authorized pur- , chasers nt the cost of printing.

LEATHER LOSSES CAN BE GREATLY REDUCED Careless Handling on Part of Farmer Reduces Value. Long-Used Vegetable Tanning Materials, Products of Farm and Forest, Are Totally Inadequate at the Present Time. (Prepared by the United State* D«p»rtm«t us Agriculture.) In calling attention to the need for more study of the care of hides, the making of leather and its care, the bureau of chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture says that the farm, which produces the raw materials, uses more of the finished products than does any other industry. The total number of hides and skins used in making leather in this country in 19M was more titan 140.000.000, costing the tanners, it is estimated, $240,000,000 plus $45,000,000 worth -of tanning, curing, and finishing materials. The factory value of leather goods made from these matcrlals is estimated at more than 5050,M10,000, f<>r which the ultimate user paid at least $1,000,000,000. Better methods of tanning, says the department, should materially reduce the cost of shoes and harness to the farmer. Country butchers and farmers now supply about 30 per cent of the hides and skins used in this coun »ry. Carelessness, lack of knowledge of taking off, curing, and selling these hides and skins cause the loss of about one third of the value to the farmer. These losses are at least sls,ooo,<Y*> annually. The long-used vegetable tanning materials, which are direct products of the forest and farm, are totally Inadequate at the present time, says the department, to supply the country's needs. Through better processes and more intelligent care many millions of dollars can be conserved annually in leafier goods. The Department of Agrimiltni'p has published bulletins dealing with the tanning of hides and the care of leather —shoes, harness, belts, etc.—to make it wear longer. WHITEWASH IS VERY USEFUL Standard Recipe as Recommended by University Farm Will Be Handy In Spring Cleaning. Wth the annual cleanup time at hnmi, good use can be made of a good qua'lty of whitewash. A standard recipe fur such, us recommended by University farm people, is as follows: S ake one-half bushel of fresh lime witA boiling water, covering the receptacle to keep in the steam. Strain ’lie liquid through a fine sieve, and add aevcni pounds of fine salt, previously dissolved in warm water; three pounds of ground rice, boiled to a thin paste and stirred In; one pound of white glue, soaked ffrst In cold water until swollen, then carefully melted overfire. To this mixture add five gallons of hot v ater and let it stand covered for a few • days before using. EXPERIMENTS ON DRY COW Lime and Phosphorus Havs Much to Do With Milk Production and Unborn Calf. The United States Department of Agricu'ture has made some experiments with regard to die feeding of a dry cow. Lime and phosphorus have much to do with the milk production and building up of the body of the unborn calf. For .that reason it Is a good practice to feed the cow« well when they are dry and at the end of their lactation period in order that they may store up these valuable elements for use when the large demand of the lactation period Is made.

FACTS ESSENTIAL IN i CO-OPERATIVE MOVE Farmers Must Keep Close Account of Their Expenses. Official of Department of Agriculture Says Attention Should Be Given to Proper Determination of Chargee for Uee of Land. I (Prepared by the United State* Department us Agriculture.) To prevent either undue enhance ‘ inent or depression of prices of farm ' products, farmers engaged In co-op 1 erative marketing must keep close - account of their costs of operation, ’ Dr. Henry O. Taylor, chief of the ! bureau of agricultural economics United States Department of Agri • culture, said in substance In address 1 Ing the American Farm Economic as 1 sedation at Chicago. • “Farmers who associate themselves for collective bargaining are likely to 1 go wrong if they are not guided b.\ proper cost accounting," Doctor Tay • lor said. "They may either unduly 1 enhance prices in specific cases, con- ' i rrary to the Capper-Volstead act ot : they may over-stimulate production ‘ 1 and in the long run depress prices • I below the pro[>er point. ■ “To make the right decision regarding what crops to grow, equipment to use. Intensity of culture, and the most profitable method of disposing of the ' products, the rost of various opera- ' tions as well as total costs are' needed. Particular attention should be ‘ given the proper determination of charges for the use of land, unpaid labor and other non-cash Items, and : to the costs incurred by new produci era who have entered the field on nc- ■ count of rising prices.” ■ Such accounting will also give agrli cultural economists considerable inI formation necessary in the proper ’ analysis of agricultural conditions, it was pointed out. I PUREBRED STOCK IS BETTER Offspring Worth Practically 50 Por Cont Moro In Sal* Vaio* Than Grade* and Seruba More than 500 fanners nnd breeders ’ raising all kinds of domestic animals answered questions sent out by the United States Department of Agriculture, and from these replies It has been determined that these men consider purebreds 40 per cent better from a utility standpoint than common stork. They say that offspring of purebreds are worth practically 50 per cent more In sale value than the offspring of grades and scrubs. Also, purebreds were found in nearly all cases to be ‘ more readily salable. i HENS WITH LIGHTS DO WELL | ■ One Hundred Fowls In Cour** of Seven Months Mak* High Return* es $235.38. ' - - In a recent experiment with 100 hens without lights and 100 hens with lights the hens without lights made a return , of $197.00 during a period of seven months from December to June inclusive. The hens with lights brought rei celpts of $285.38 In the same length of time. USE CHOICE BREEDING FOWLS Some Farmers Still Pursu* Old-Fash-ioned Policy of Using Egg* From Whole Flock. Too many farmers still pursue the old-fashioned policy of breeding from the whole flock of poultry. It is far ’ better to have just one or two small pens of your choicest fowl* from which to set eggs and hatch chicks. Thus yeur standard of quality will show Improvement from year to year.
