Jane 3 to 8 Is Rooster Week. “Sell all the roosters,” is the theme of a propaganda being carried on by the county poultry coc:mittee as a part of the state-wide plan to reduce the number of eggs spoiled this sprainer. Chairman Chas. Postill of the committee estimates thaf at least $3,500 worth of eggs could be sawed in this county alone this season by disposing •of the roosters at the present time. Indiana poultry dealers have agreed to pay a premium for roosters during the week of June 3-8, and actually lose money themselves in remarketing them just to secure a better quality of eggs from tne farmers. • The committee asks all farmers to heed* the suggestion as a matter of food conservation.

Only About Half the Steer is Beef Live Weight 1200 pounds 100% . Pressed Weight 672 pounds of Beef 56% When Swift & Company buys a steer weighing 1200 pounds, only about 672 pounds goes to market as beef; the other 528 pounds consists of hide, fats, other by-products, and waste. When the packer pays 15 cents a pound for a steer, he sells the meat to the retailer for about 24 cents. But the packer gets only about 6 cents a pound for the other 528 pounds. This means that the packer gets about 16 cents a pound for all the products from a steer for- which he pays 15 cents. The difference of 1 cent per pound covers the cost of dressing, preparation of by-products, freight on beef to all parts of the United States, operation of distributing houses, and leaves a net profit of only about *4 of a cent per pound on all dressed beef sold. Large volume of business and utilization of parts that were formerly wasted, make this achievement possible. Year Book of interesting and instructive facts sent on request.

nished by Purdue last fall in order to determine whether or not any of them were better adapted to Jasper county conditions than the varieties now grown. While it is stiH too early to give definite information, one variety, the Red Rock, looks especially promising. Tins confirms the common farm experience of Lake and Porter counties where tbe Red Rock is becoming the most popular variety. The outcome of these plots should be watched with interest by wheat growers of the county. Hog Feeding Trial Completed. $2.61 per bushel for corn costing $1 per bushel last fall, and $16.61 profit per hog tells the story of the hog feeding demonstration completed by Mr. I. F. Meader ot Union township on May 10. In December he had twenty-five light pigs but no feed, except the skim milk produced on the farm. What should he do? Sell the pigs or buy feed for them? He could have . sold the pigs for 20c pe* pound, but decided to keep them and bought corn at $1 per bushel, tankage at sllO per and charged 25c per cwt. for skim milk fed. The hogs were given all the corn ihev would Clean up, all the tankage they would eat from a selffeeder. and what skim milk there was oh hand or about eight gallons per day.

Obituary

Mari© Emma Marchand. Marie Emma, the little daughter of Charles and Essie Marchand, was born in Jasper county June 15, 1,917, and departed this life in Chicago May 17, 1918, aged eleven months and two’days. On May 13, she was taken to the Jasper County hospital and then to Chicago, but all failed to keep the little life and the spirit flew away to he with the Savior who said, “Suffer little children to come unto Me," and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of heaven.” The hearts of the father and mother and little sister Evelyn are left very sad. The funeral services were held at 2 i>. m. Sunday at the Milroy church and burial made in the Milroy cemetery. The sermon was preached by Rev. Clem of the Baptist church of Monon. xx

There is more catarrh In this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years It was supposed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced It incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional cohditions and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, Is a constitutional remedy, is taken internally and acts thru the blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. One Hundred Dollars reward is offered for any case that Hall’s Catarrh Medicine fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. _ F. J. CHEXEY & CO., Toledo, Ohio. Sold by Druggists, 75c.

The longest continuous stretch of submarine cable now working, that is, /without relay, is 3,458 nautical miles—that from Vancouver to Fanning island in the Pacific, and the average distance without relay is much less than this. It is evident, therefore, that on the long transoceanic cables such as those across the Pacific, islands must be found for relay stations. This explains the rivalry of certain of “the European nations for the possession of small, solitary islets, scarcely more than mere rocks, and useless except for just such a purpose as this. This as the reason for Germany’s acquisition of the, Caroline and Marianne islands and later of one of the Samoa group, at the time of our war with Spain. Similarly England is to be found in possession of conveniently placed islands all over the world.

- The completion a short time ago of a chimney, 571 feet high, at Tacoma, Washington, transfers the title of the world's tallest chimney from Japan to America. The structure, which in respect to height held the world’s record until recently, was the 5 70-foot chimney at Sagonoseki, Japan. While the giant flue is of reinforced concrete, the one surpassing it by so narrow a margin is of brick. The big Tacoma vent, like its rival in the orient, is part of a smelting plant, and the reason for rearing it to such great height is to prevent the fumes discharged by it from harming vegetation, particularly in a park close at hand.
