THR EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

'Mrs. A. A. Fell will preach at the James school house at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Sol Guth, of Washington, 111., was over yesterday on a business trip, looking after his Jaaper county farms. , Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Childers will return tomorrow evening from Lafayette, where they have been for almost two weeks. Wheat has gone up again and the top price is today quoted at 96 cents. To all appearances it will reach the dollar mark again before long. Wisconsin University will play Purdue at Lafayette tomorrow and 85 rooms have been reserved at the Fowi ler hotel for the team and followers. O. K. Rainier made a trip to his farms near Chalmers yesterday and left this«iflorning for Oshkosh, Wi«., where Mrs. Rainier has been visiting their daughter, Mrs. H. L. Barnes. By a mistake that -occurred in this offire it was reported that the CaT3well baby on the Thompson ranch near l Parr had died of diphtheria. This was | not the case, however, the baby’s death resulting from cholera infantum.

George Gay, colored, who held up the night operator at the Earl Park station during August, pleaded guilty to the charge when arraigned before Judge Bc-rry, who sentenced Ihim for a term of from 5 to 14 in the penitentiary. The Teachers' Association will be held in Indianapolis on Oct. 28th, 29tn and 30th. All the teachers in the city schoo.s will attend and it is understood that many of the country schools v/ill also close during the meeting. Mrs. W. S. Parks and son, Lloyd, who are attending the Panama-Pacific exposition, are in Los Angeles now, and in a card received here today, says that they are having a nice trip and are enjoying the fine California weather. They have been gone about five weeks now. «*■ Dr. Johnsoif will leave tomorrow morning for Pierpont, S. Dak., on business and while there will attend to a professional case. Mrs. C. C. Flint, whose husband was formerly an assistant in the treasurer’s office, is suffering from heart trouble and Doctor Johnson has been sent for. Edward Pincsak, of Chicago, who attended St. Joe last year, came yesterday to visit college friends. He is now in the trap drumming business and is making good with picture shows and other forms of entertainment. A report was circulated that F. W. Tobias had sold out his restaurant at the Forest street railroad crossing. This is not the case, howevea*, although there was a man here the first of the week negotiating for the purchase of it. Dr. Turfler left a turnip at the Murray grocery department that measured 23% inches around and weighed at the time it was brought in 8% pounds.. So far we have not been able to scare up an apple that would beat the one raised in White county and whihe weighed 34% ounces, but we challenge the world on turnips. A deal has been completed by which Frank Kresler buys of J. H. Chapman the former Garrison farm in Jordan township, about 7 miles southeast of Rensselaer. The farm consists of 160 acres and the price was SBS per acre. _Mr. Chapman takes Mr. Kresler’s Rensselaer property, the former Barkley property, in on the trade. William Murray, F. M. Haskell and John Robinson have returned from Kokomo, where they attended the democratic barbecue. Incidentally Mr. Murray had his Haynes auto gone over at the Kokomo factory and that may have been their excuse of going there although the barbecue probably held some attraction for them. A letter received from Fred Putts, a graduate of the 1914 class of Rensselaer, and a son of John Putts, who is attending college at Indiana Normal, at Indiana, Pa., states that he is playing in the back field for the football team of that school. In the game of last Saturday his team downed Waynesburg college team by the overwhelming score of 101 to 0. So far Indiana has scored 252 points against their opponents 0. Notwithstanding the fact that it was exceedingly well advertised, only a fair sized crowd attended the R. L. Budd public sale in Union township today. Mr. Budd had several head of good grade Holstein cows and a number of young Duroc Jersey pigs. The cows sold from S6O to SB6, it being generally considered that they went at very reasonable prices. Mr. Budd has been engaged in the dairying business, shipping his cream to Chicago. He had almost a total crop failure this year and this necessitated him selling out. He plans to later engage in the registered Holstein business. CASTOR i A fur niH Children.

Only a Slight Error.

There 1b a certain fashionable chib in Washington where the waiters are all negroes of the highest type, genuine, old-fashioned, bo wand-scrape darkies, excellent servitors and polite to a degree. Not long ago a distinguished bishop of the Episcopal church dined at ♦Ms club. The head waiter bowed the bishop and his host to their places. "This way, Admiral," said he. "Take this table by the window." "I am not an admiral," said the bishop, smiling. "Excuse me, sir; my mistake," the darky hastened to add. "I might have known all the time you was a military man. You like this table, colonel?” "I am not a colonel,” said the bishop, smiling more broadly. "I am a bishop." be sure, sly! .To be sure!" exclaimed the negro. "Very sorry tor my mistake, sir. I got them titles of Admiral and Colonel wrong, sir, but I knowed I was all right on the main Issue. I knowed as soon as I saw you that you was one of the face cards of your profession, sir."

NO RELIEF.

"Dosb she lose her temper often?" "Yes, but she gets it right back again."

What He Expected.

A bucolic individual paused the other day before a news stand and to the proprietor thereof put the following questions: "Been in town long?” "Quite a while," said the vender of news. "Know a man named Collins —Joseph Collins?” “No." • "Sure?” ‘Say, exclaimed the newsman, testily, “there are three million people in Chicago. Did you expect me to know every man in the city?” "No,” said the rural one, "but I thought you might have sense enough to know one.”

Three Copies.

"Father blundered into the library last night just as Jack, kissed me," said Grace. "Oh, how awful!" said Evelyn. "And what happened?" “He pretended to look for a book,” answered Grace. "I asked him what he was looking for. He said, 1 want "A Study in Scarlet,” but I didn’t know we had three copies.’"

Enlightening Him.

Butcher (who is waiting on a customer who has stepped ahead of her place In line) —“Excuse me for keeping you waiting, ma’am, but this (indicating his customer) is Mrs. Billing’s cook.” Modestly Dressed Customer (who has waited half an hour) —“Certainly, sir, don’t let that trouble you at all; I am only Mrs. Billions."

Fair Words or Nothing.

"George,” said wife to her generally unappreciative husband, "how do you like my new hat?" "Well, my dear," said George, with great candor, tell you the truth —” “Stop right there, George! If you’re going to talk that way about it I don’t want to know."

Making It Plain.

"You are putting the cart before the horse." "I don't understand what you mean hr that figure of speech.” "Well, I’ll frame it differently. Yon are putting the tonneau before the wind Bhield.” —Puck.

The inquisition.

Miss Maguire—" Any letter for me?” Postmaster —“What name, please?" Miea Maguire—" Must I tell?” Postmaster —“Certainly.” Miss Maguire—‘Well, If I must, Tom Dolan.”

In Mourning.

"What are you wearing that thing for?" asked Mrs. Gabb, when her husband came home with a band of crepe around his hat. "For your first husband," replied Mr. Gabb. "I’m sorry he died."

All the Same.

•'Why don’t you more Into more comfortable quarters, old man?” *1 can’t even pay the rent on this miserable hole.” "Well, slncf you don’t pay the rent why not get something better?"

The Longer the Better.

“Do you believe In long engageents” “Of course. The longer a man Is -gaged, the less time he has to be rrled."

DO YOUR CHICKENS HELP BUPPORT YOU?

The Only Way to Know Accurately of Financial Btatus Is to Keep Account Book Are you keeping chickens, or are they helping to keep yon? We have heard of numerous farm women and city dwellers who have kept accurate records of their poultry work and showed a good profit on their investment and labor. We have also known some people who have thought they were not making any money, but they did not know it, and we have known some people who thought they were getting rich fast, but were losing money. The only way to know Accurately Just the financial status of the poultry business Is to keep records, and the work is not arduous or disagreeable If done in the right way. In fact, the account of bok of a small back yard poultry flock should among ten states in different sections be as interesting as a popular novel to anyone who really ikes to work with poultry. If a new flock Is being purchased Its cost should be charged to "stock." If you have some fowls on -hand and want to start an account they Bhould be inventoried as "stock." The cost of house/, incubators and other equipment should be charged to “buildings and equipment," and a reasonable amount credited to that account each year for depreciation. Too many people make the mistake of charging all new equipment to operating expense of a small flock, and then declare that the business is losing money when the fowls are not able to show a profit over total cost the first year. All of the feed should be charged to “feed" account, ,bo that the cost of feeding the flock can be ascertained at any time. The cost will vary In proportion to the amount of table scraps and other free material which Is available.

If the flock is large enough to justify setting eggs or breeding stock, and they are disposed of by advertising, then that cost should be kept separate. Those accounts cover the most Important expenditures, and will be sufficient for small flocks, unless the owner wishes to have a,number of accounts and charge cost of lncnbat* lng chicks and special feed accounts for them. All of the eggs produced should be credited by number and value either for actual sales or market price for all consumed at home, for the home Is the best market of all. Fowls killed for tableaus* should be credited at market priop, and those sod for delivery away from the premises should be credited for the full amount of sale. The eggs used for hatching need not be credited to the "stock,” as the chicks will be figured in the inventory at close of year, unless separate accounts are kept for the chicks. To get a fair valuation of the business at time list the stock on hand at what they would sell for as breeders or market fowls. Add the total sales of eggs and fowls, which will give the credit side of the account. Add together the cost of stock inventoried or bought at the start, the cost of feed, cost of advertising (if any), and a fair proportion of cost of houses and equipment, with Interest on the investment, and you can readily determine whether you are keeping the chickens or whether they are keeping you. No charge has been considered for labor on a small plant, as the value of the Httle work required will bq offset by improved health gained by the outdoor exercise. This is where thfe doctor loses. No credit has been made for poultry manure produced, as it is not always possible to use or dispose of It to advantage, athough the general rule Is to allow thirty cents a fowl per year for manure produced. If it can be distributed over a garden It 1b worth more than that amount. On large plants the cost of labor will be quite an Item and cuts down the net profit per bird considerably, but on small plants the work is classed as recreation and not charged for.

Age to Breed

New Jersey Experiment Station Circular No. 40 suggests the following as to breeding age: Well-known gilts may be bred when nine months old, but in the absence of size and vigor delay is necessary. The period of gestation is sixteen weeks, or one hundred and fourteen days. Two litters per year may be obtained from aged sows, preferably In March and September or April and October, provided suitable farrowing quarters and good care can be furnished. Otherwise May or June pigs can best take care of themselves. Brood sows or gilts must not be fat or fleshy at mating season or at any other time, unless intended for slaughter. Small, weak litters and uneasy mothers result from such practice. Breeding animals of every class thrive more vigorousy on a variety of foods regularly fed, while there Is a direct relation prevailing between inactivity and lack of seercise on the part of breeding animals and the mortality of their young.

When hog cholera Has existed it is unwise to provide new quarters entirely for the brood sows. While young pigs from immune mothers carry an Immunity for a short time they are liable to infection later If permitted to remain In Infected quarters. It Is well to plow and seed the old yards. Protect your hogs from coming In contact with sick hogs and protect their food and water supply from contamination.

The Farmer's Income

Just how much does the average fanner make? The answer to this puzzling question has been long sought by agricultural experts, since It Is the ultimate test of all systems of farm management It Is simple enough to calculate the cash profits received in the course of the year, hut these do not measure the farmer's success. The farm supplies him with much besides' money—with food, shelter and fneL For these things the city worker has to pay out s large part of hie wages. They must, therefore, be Included In any Just estimate of the fanner’s Income. In other words, the city worker Is paid entirely In cash, the farmer partly In cash, partly directly In the necessities of life. To obtain fuller knowledge of the value of this direct contribution from the farm the department has recently concluded an investigation which Included 438 farm families divided of the country. (United States Department of Agriculture Farmers’ Bulletin 635. X The investigators found that on these farms the cost of maintaining each grown person was on the average $176 a year. This sum was composed of the following items: Dairy products s2l Pork ----- - ® Poultry and eggs 12 Garden r— 10 Beef 6 Fruit A ? Wool and coal 12 Groceries "2 House rent 26 Labor 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 exchanged. 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 buying and selling, Is Indicated by conditions In the particular area of North Carolina Included in the Investigation. The investigators found that In this area the average annual value of the food, fuel, ell and shelter enjoyed by the farm family was $606. Of this sum the farm furnished directly $429, leaving only $76 to be bought Food was, of course, the principal item. Thjp amounted to $401.93, of which $330.65, or 82.3 per cent was raised on the farm. If it had not been. Indeed, for such articles as tea, coffee, sugar, salt and other groceries which It was Impossible to produce at home these farms might be called actually self-sustaining. Of the animal products consumed —meat, poultry, milk, eggs, cheese, etc. —97.3 per cent were home grown; of the fruits 98 per cent and of the vegetables 96.1 per cent. Of the other articles consumed, however, and classed together as groceries, only 24 per cnet was raised on the farm. The grocery bill was therefore the largest item In the cash expenditure. 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 bulk of the groceries was always bought but the total quantity consumed depended to a great extent upon thft quantity of animal products and vegetables raised on the farm. Where these abounded the consumption of groceries diminished. From this It would seem that an obvious way to effect an Important saving in expenses is to raise more vegetables and animal products on the farm. Whether it Is better to out down expenses In this way or to Increase receipts by concentrating attention on cash creps is one of the great problems In farm management, the answer to which In each Individual case depends Upon local conditions. In the past, however, many farmers have not realized the existence of the alternative. The two other ' Important Items In the cost of maintenance are house rent and labor. Both of these it Is a common error to overlook in estimating the farmer’s Income. Since the house usually g6es with the farm and the labor Is performed by members of the family, both are taken for granted. This, however, is obviously unfair. In the recent investigation, for example, the investigators found that $126 was a fair rental charge for the average farmhouse, including Interest, depreciation and repairs. The fact that the fanner does not have to pay out this sum Is equivalent to adding $126 to his Income. 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; or to put it another way, if they did the work for somebody else they would be paid.' As it is they pay themselves. It is obvious, therefore, that what the farm furnishes directly in food. In fuel, in shelter, and In rent is an important part of the farm family’s income. On the other hand it must be remembered that the farmer has capital Invested In his business, the Interest on which mast be earned before he can truly be said to be making money. In the proper relation of the three factors —Interest on the Investment, cash receipts and direct Income from the farm —lies the secret of successful fanning.
