THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUNTY AGENT LEAMING. Bee Keeper’* Tour on May 21. Frank Foltz, chairman of the C6Uhtyßee~Keeper r s"ass6ciatibh,~ has arranged for the postponed tour of that organization on Wednesday, May 21, the previous tour being called off on account of the sudden sickness of Prof. E. G. Baldwin. Mr. Foltz in company with fellow bee enthusiasts will visit various localities of the county and Professor Baldwin will give practical talks and demonstrations on “Transferring,” “Swann Prevention” and “How to Get the Honey Crop.” The following schedule has been arranged: 7:30, Charles Postill apiary, Rensselaer. 9:00, Arthur Bailey farm, Hanging Grove tp. 10:30, James Britt farm, Barkley tp. >2:00, St. Joseph college, Collegeville.

3:30, Joseph Borntrager farm, Marion tp. Any person interested in bee keeping can pick up a number of ideas of value by dropping in at one of these meetings. Mr. Foltz believes that the topics to be discussed are extremely timely and invites everyone to make all or part of this trip. Full Feed of Corn Prove* Best. The old standby ration consisting of a full feed of corn, silage, clover hay and cottonseed meal, is the most profitable, according to the results of experiments announced at the meeting of the Indiana Cattle Feeders’ association at Lafayette May 3. This is in keeping with the results of previous experiment. Not including the value of the pork produced, the lot receiving no corn showed the highest profit, the gains being low, but the cost of gain being correspondingly low. Where a full ration was used with corn and soy beans silage the profit per steer was $40.03, and where corn silage was used the profit was $30.96 per steer, previous experiments, having shown little difference. A nuniber of local feeders attended the meeting. La*t Chance for Corn and Soy Bean Combination. “Every farmer who puts corn in the silo, cuts it up for fodder or Hogs it off, should plant soy beans with the corn” is the recommendation of the county soils and crops committee. Observations lead one to believe that the practice will be followed more generally this season than ever before. Conscientious effort on the part of members of the soils committee, demand for greater yields or forage per acre and a growing appreciation for the feeding value of the legumes and home-grown protein are responsible for this increase. The farmer'who heeds the suggestion of the crops committee is going to grow cheaper feed than the man who neglects it. Sorghum for the Silo. With prospects of late corn planting, the planting of sorghum for the silos should be more popular this year than ever before. Probably the largest yields of high-grade silage may be obtained by planting fairly early maturing corn and soy beans in one field and sorghum in another, mixing the two loads about at silo filling time. Practically everyone who tried the combination thinks that it is fine. «

“Swat the Rat” Is Slogan for “Rat Day” Here May 27. “Swat the rat is the slogan adopted by Indiana for the observance of rat day, May 27. Every man, woman and child in this county is urged to heed this slogan and see that all rats and mice, the largest single destroyers of food and property, are exterminated. The brown or Norway rat is probably the worst of all mammal pests in the county and entire state. It is estimated that rats destroy food arid property in Indiana worth not less than $4,000,000 annually. The cost in 1917 of maintaining the five insane hospitals, three state prisons and rest of the 19 .institutions was $3,186,070. If the rats and mice were wiped out, enough will be saved to pay tiie taxes supporting these institutions and leave a balance of SBOO,OOO. Their depredations cost citizens of the United States a total of $200,000,000 each-year in damage to crops and property alone, not to mention the dozens of diseases for which they are to blame. This property destruction is equivalent to the gross earn- 1

j ings of an army of over 200,000 men. i “On many a farm, if the grain ; eaten and wasted by rats and mice ; could be sold, the proceeds would more than pay all the taxes,” dei dared an authority of the depart- • ment of agriculture recently. Premium* for Club Members. j Three hundred dollars was appro- ; priated by the council council to be • used as premiums for boys and girls- > of the county who successfully com- ' plete their industrial club work. J. 1 M. Sauser, chairman of the club com- ; mittee, has charge of the fund and expects to have a premium for every ' dub member who does good work f this season. The clubs this year are seven in 1 number and the enrollment is exactly" i 100 boys and girls. Marion Farmers’ Club Meeting to [ Be Held May 29. After a lapse of some months, the South Marion Farmers’ club has come to life and the officers are planning for a rousing meeting on the evening "of May 29. A fine program is being prepared and everyone is welcome to attend.

DIRE DISTRESS.

ii i* Near at Hand to Hundreds of Renaselaer Reader*. Don’t neglect an aching back. Backache is often the kidneys’ cry for help. Neglect hurrying to the kidneys’ aid, means that urinary troubles may follow. Or danger of worse kidney trouble. Here’s Rensselaer testimony. Mrs. J. J. Norgor, Mathewson Ave., says: “We have used Doan’s Kidney Pills in the family for a long time and they have kept us in good health. I usecL.to suffer from frequent attacks of kidney disorder. My back got stiff and lame and ached so steadily it tired me out. When I tried to wash, the leaning over caused almost unbearable sharp twinges in my back. Doan’s Kidney Pills have . driven away those symptoms of kidney trouble and have made me well and strong.’’ Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Norgor had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

CHANGES WROUGHT BY WAR

Many Things Ha vs Been Brought to Rasa That Would Shock Oldtime Observers. Quite a number of things have pened during or tn consequence of the war which never happened before. No British king had ever passed under Napoleon’s Arc de Trlomphe until King George’s recent visit to Paris. No British army had before helped to defend France against an invader. British and Prussian troops had never previously tried conclusions. Never before the war had armies from India, America. Canada, Australia, New Zealand or south Africa landed tn Europe. Until Mr. Wilson, no “reigning” president of the United States had crossed the Atlantic during his term of office, though have done so. Jerusalem, Damascus and Bagdad had never before been captured by modern Europeafi armies, nor had British soldiers ever previously marched through Mesopotamia. The British flag is the first standard of a Christian hation to., float over Constantinople as that of a conqueror since the taking of the city by the Turks over ago. No king of Prussia had ever lost his throne or been driven Into exile before; and no war had ever brought misfortune on so many rulers or led to so many new states being set up.

GOODBY TO FATHER WINTER

No Doubt That Spring Is Here, With AU the Joyousness That the Season Should Bring. The harbingers of spring are numerous, though often obscure. It does not take many warmish days at this time of the year to make the heart of animate Nature, including man, to -throb with hope. We have been filled with forebodings. All of our mild December we said that the autumn was lingering long this year. In equally mild January we prognosticated that we would “get it” in February. We are still a little fearful that old Father Winter may have some ice and snow for us in his storehouse and so we try not to be too forward looking. But a complete plan of the garden drawn to a scale, , with every radish and bean and cabbage located is not rushing the season, and it is a mighty pleasant thing to make out these days. Stewart Edward White says he always gets out his book of flies in February, furbishes up the old ones and replaces the missing favorites, and dreams, the while, of pools and rapids. The housekeeper sighs at the sight- of grimy vvall paper and then hopefully begins to houseclean the spare room. A few hopeful robins came back this week, as well as some blackbirds. They say the skunk cabbages are blooming along Big Darby’s rocky shore. Spring is on the way I—Ohio State Journal.

Healthy Men Defied "Flu."

An observant hospital corps man of the navy became so thoroughly convinced that lowered resistance was always the determining factor in contracting influenza that he and some of his mates volunteered to test the truth of his theory. The offer was accepted and 100 enlisted men who volunteered were submitted to exhaustive Experiment* by naval surgeons, the outcome of which seems to confirm the theory.. These men were all In the best of physical condition, .and during the experiment their health was looked after carefully. Live cultures of influenza bacilli were sprayed In their throats and noses hourly. The germs were introduced into their food. They were kept In close contact with patients suffering from the disease. Some members of the group received various preventive inoculations, but others were not thus protected. Not a single case of influenza was developed. *

“Great Tom” Not in Abbey.

Westminster abbey bells, which are now being overhauled against the celebration of peace, do not, as. many people think. Include the famous bell ’‘Greet Tom of Westminster,” which was formerly rung on all Important occasions. Great Tom hung for centuries in the clock tower of the royal palace of Westminster, but when In 1715 th tower was no longer strong enough to stand the vibration and was taken down the bell was sent to St. Paul’s cathedral instead of being taken to the abbey. Great Tom’s duties are now confined to striking the hours and tolling for royal and important deaths and burials.

Merely Wanted to Know.

Alvin comes to see me dally. On each visit I usually give him something, candy or whatever I have. Happening to have an exceptionally good box of sweets I gave him a piece, whereupon he returned the second time that day and inquired: "Have you got any more of that good candy?” Reproving him for asking for It he replied, “I didn’t ask to gub me any ; I dust want to know if you dot any more.” —Chicago Tribune.

Contradictory Emotions.

"Something I can’t understand,” inused Senator Sorghum, “is the way contradictory emotions simultaneously develop.” 1 “Referring to what?" “Every time I begin to talk about universal peace some suggestion occurs that warms up my fighting blood.” ’ ~
