Uncle- Sam's WASHINGTON. A squadron of nine war Y(8stl8 has been formed to patrol tho waters of Central and South America, operating ns a dlstlnct'comxnand from either the Atlantic or Pacific fleet. Hear Admiral Benjamin C. lirynn has hoisted his pennant on the Dolphin and formally taken command of the first Latin-American squadron. IIU force consists of five light and speedy cruisers, the Denver, Galveston, Des Moines, Cleveland and Tacoma, and the gunboats Asheville, Niagara and Sacramento, with the Dolphin, formerly the official vessel of the secretary of the navy as flagship. The squadron will have Its base at the Canal Zone, which will enable It to transfer In whole or In part from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and makes possible the speedy mobilization of an adequate force to meet any emergency.

Can't Entirely Supplant the Lowing Kine

LACK of puHturngu for dairy cattle In the vicinity of Nitro, Va., resulted In the establishment at that war-built city of a "mechanical dairy," where milk and cream equivalent to the output of a farm with 1,500 milk cows win produced, according to n government report Just published. Bottles and cans of the fluid were labeled "reconstructed" milk or cream and "nltrolac." Accommodation;! for 2IWX InhabitnntK were provided at Nitro; schools, churches, hospitals, department stores, restaurants, ami nil the other elements of n modern well-equipped community being part of the project. As a constructive problem, It was comparathely simple, but ofllclals began to xtrlko snags tn noon as they npproaehed the task of Insuring a supply of wtaple foodstuffs, particularly of fresh milk. Nitro Im situated lr a mountainous district, where little, If any, natural pasturage Is available. Iocal milk supplies were barely sulllelcnt to satisfy the normal demands of Charlestown, the nearest metropolis. KxparjMlon of the natural supply being out of the question, the public health service was ask"d for aid and

The Capital WiflLike Zoning System

THAT one of the best moves ever mail for Washington was the lnBtr.llatlon of the zoning system of city planning Is the opinion of Klbert J. Frederick of St. Louis, a visitor. He Rays the move has attracted the attention of dozens of large cities, which are watching with eager Interest the effect of the zoning system at the national capital. "TIu' system, although practically new In St. Louis, has done wonders for that city," Mr. Frederick continued. Property values have risen and have become stabilized by reason of the Installation of zoning, nnd men who were bitterly opposed to the move at flrst now give It their most hearty commendation.

These Farmers Make No Large Profits

FIGURES on farm profits covering seven years in two areas and Ave years In a third, made public by tho United States Department of Agriculture show that comparatively few of the farmers in the groups studied have ben making laive profits during the recent years of comparatively high prices. The figures Indicate chiefly: That tho fanner average return on investment Increased from 4 per cent In 10i:t to 7 per cent In IMS. That most of them are making less than 30 cash per year over and above, the things the farm furnishes toward the family living, which, however, constitutes n very Important factor. Tho three groups of farm studied are located, respectively, In Washington county, Ohio (25 farms, hill country, seven years) ; Clinton County, Indiana (100 furms, corn belt, seven years), ami Dane county, Wisconsin, (CO farms, dairy region. Ave years). Tteprcsentr.tlves of tho department vb-

Latin-American Squadron

Admiral Bryan will have several thousand men under his command, and the character of the fleet will permit of the close patrol even of shallow tidal waters. It was explained at the navy department that the object of. creating the Latin-American squadron was to centralize command of all vessels on duty In those waters and eliminate complications as to assignment of vessels for special duty there. Secretary Daniels said that the arrangement had been completed after consultation with admiral Bödmen, commanding the Pacific fleet, and Admiral Wilson, In command In Atlantic waters, and that It was designed to simplify tho tremendously extensive patrol along the Latin-American coasts. It Is known, however, that the State department has shown great Interest In the report from naval and other sources of the recent Iisorders in Honolulu, and the various exhibitions of7 Ill-feeling aroused by the three cornered dispute over boundary lines which has Involved, Chile, Peru and Argentina. Central America Is In a froth of conflicting ambitions, national and personal, of Industrial unrest end tuitlforelgn sentiment, according to reports from Americans In that troubled section. the llrst 'mechanical dairy" resulted. The process used Is described as the 'emulsltlcatlon of butter fat ohtalned from unfitted butter In a holutlou of skimmed milk powder, or diluted evaporated milk." A building ir() feet long by 51 feet wide, was constructed and provided with huge mixing vats, refrigerators and bottling apparatus. Chemically pure water was used In the mixing and careful tests made of the product, which proved to be a little superior, If anything, tho report Faid, to natural milk. This should encourage tho Department of Agriculture to Fpeed up Uk efforts at the forest service laboratory at MiulNon, Mis., to produce Justusgood cattle food from sawdust I 'Washington has a wonderful oppor tunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of the plan. The capital has very few manufacturing plants to start with, and Is so arranged as to present fewer obstacles to a complete zoning system than any other city in the country, If not In the world. And you will lind, when the plan Is In full effect, that the entire citizenship will agree that It Is one of tho best things that ever happened for the city. 'The zoning system bars nmmifno turlng plants from Invading residential sections, and thereby Insures the man who buys a home against having a boiler factory or some other similar plant established next door, or even in the same neighborhood. On the other hand, It secures to the manufacturing element absolute domain over certain sections, and leaves outlet for growth and development such as any going concern It bound to need. . "With Washington fairly under the zoning system, I predict that It will become a model city to which experts from all parts of the country will be sent to obtain Ideas for zoning other cities' ited all of these farms year after year. The average farm income of the 25 farmers visited In Washington county, Ohio, for the seven years. 1912-1918, was rtlO; the labor Income, $270; the return on investment, 4.0 per cent; the food, house rent, fuel value supplied by farm, $359 per year. The Income of the 100 farmers In Clinton county, Indiana, averaged 51.8.K5 for the seven years, 1910 and 1PKM91S, and their labor Incomes $558. Return on capital was 5.7. Food, house rent and fuel supplied bj farm, $423 a year.

FIGHT ON RAT:

MUST BE WAGED Constant Warfare Must Be Made on Pestiferous Rodent to Get Best Resuts. EXTERMINATION IS POSSIBLE No Matter How Badly House Be Infested With Pests Methods Perfected Will Absolutely De. stroy Little Animals. Spasmodic rat extermination campaljrns are of course beneficial, but to secure lasting results contain warfare must be waged nennst the nit, say specialists of the bureau of biological survey. United States Department of Agriculture. The ne ssity for this Is plain in the fact that rats begin to breed at three months and have from six to ton litters a year, with au average of ten young to each litter. Riddance Possible. Specialists of the department of agriculture for years have made extensive studies of rats and methods of exterminating them. No matter how badly a house may be infested with rats, these experts maintain, the use of tho methods perfected by them will absolutely, and without doubt, rid the liouse of the rodents. Throughout the United States health authorities are advocating the us?e of these methods .and gratifying results are being secured. Thus Kansas has designated a special "rat day." Cincinnati Is spending thousands of dollars in a rat campaign, and similar movements are being conducted at Norfolk, along the Gulf coast, and in many other cities. In addition the bureau Is constantly giving advice to hundreds of correspondents. Means of Destroying. "Rnt proollng" of buildings Is the basic step in rat extermination. Food should be protected and sanitary methods employed for disposal of waste food. Where rats may die in the walls poisoning ls not recommended, but where this condition cannot result barium carbonate worked Into almost any kind of food Is the poison to use. Snap traps, often called "guillotine traps," are the most effectlvo In trapping. The traps should be placed In every part of tho house that rats frequent. One or two traps are not .enough. The traps should be baited with fresh moats, seous, nuts, vegetables, fruit, or any other food. The bureau will be glad to advise anyone regarding the correction of un rat condition, upon receipt of full de r ' v . : v i ; : . . '. L !y: ' 'Vs ' ;'?;.

United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. WATERPROOF WASH FOR SILO Mixture of Liquid Paraffin and Cement Is Excellent for Inside of Structures. ' One of our readers has reported that he has discovered an excellent waterproof wash for the inside of a masonry silo, says Wallace's Farmer. It is simply a mixture of three quarts of liquid parallin to each 100 pounds of cement. The paraflin may be bought through any of the regular oil companies. Tho , mixture is well adapted to putting on the inside of hollow tile or brick silos. VALUE OF ALFALFA PASTURE Live Stock Man Can Use It for Hogs or the Hay as Feed for Various Farm Animals. The real value of alfalfa is with the live stock man who can either pasture with hogs or use the hay for feeding purposes. There is no doubt about the value of alfalfa as a hog pasture or as a fet-d for cattle and horses. A yield of four or the tons per acre means a return which will cover any trouble In getting a stand or Inconvenience In handling the crop In the busy season.

GOOD CONTAINERS OF HIGHEST IMPORTANCE

Those With Handles Are Not Likely to be Chanqed. Bamboo Baskets Serve Purpose Quits Satisfactorily and May be Ustd Long Time Ordinary Splint Vessel Is Good. One Important requirement for parcel post shipping and marketing Is a proper and satisfactory container, the United States Department of Agriculture points out. Sometimes the consumer can secure containers more readily and economically than the producer. Those with handles are much less likely to be damaged in transit In the mails than those which are not thus supplied and which are likely to be tossed or thrown or handled by the string or twine used In tying them A bamboo basket serves the purpose very well and may be used a long time. Ordinary splint baskets made of strips of venter may also be used, and if they can be secured at a price sufficiently cheap a new one for each shipment Is more economical than having them returned, unless they are sent back In lots of ten or more under one cover. This, of course, necessitates using them without a wooden handle. In which case a heavy twine should be used for a handle. This twine car be untied and the baskets nested, oi placed in cue another, for return ship ment. If a basket with a woodcr handle Is used, care should be taken to see that it is securely nailed, not only at the rim of the basket but further down toward the bottom, so as to prevent undue leverage which may break lose the nailing. CERTIFIED SEED IS FAVORED Potatoes Are Treated Before Planting With Corrosive Sublimate or Formaldehyde. Certified seed potatoes are now do manded by all good farmers. Such po tatoes are grown from certified seed treated before nlnntimr with corrosive 1 lPy., 1 .4V ,r - viiv ...... r .. . The Average Acreage Yield of Potatoes Has Increased 36 Per Cent During the Past Twenty Years. sublimate or formaldehyde. The crop gets the best of care. The fields are visited twice during the summer by tin state Inspector and all foreign varieties pulled out. At harvest they are carefully assorted, only sound slock true to name being sacked. After each bag Is Inspected to make sure that It Is true to type and not mixed with other varieties, It Is tagged with the state label. Wisconsin, Maine, Minnesota and New York state potato growers are doing an Increasing business raising certified seed. HOGGING OFF CORN IN FAVOR North Dakota College Secured Return of $45.54 Per Acre by Using Herd of Shotes. While rorn usually Is considered not as a money crop but one to clean up the land, yet the North Dakota Agricultural college received a return of $4."i.ni pr acre by using 4H shotes to hog off 10 acres of Hint corn in 101S, according to J. IT. Shepperd of the experiment station. 'The hogs were turned In the field September fi, when they averaged 100 pounds in weight, and left there until November 12, making an average gain of 01 pounds, or a gain of 2S1.7o pounds per acre. They were marketed at lfl.ni cents, which, allowing for shrinkage, gave a return of 5-15.5-1 per acre." USE SUNFLOWER FOR SILAGE When Grown With Corn Yield Was Considerably Increased Feed Value Not Impaired. Considerable interest has developed in the past two or three years in suntlowers as a silage crop. A number of farmers In Michigan have grown sunflowers with corn, says the quarterly bulletin of the Michigan Agricultural college. They claim that the yield was considerably Increased and the feeding value was not Impaired. Most of them, however, said they preferred that sunflowers should not take up more than one-third of the silage material. HANDLE SQUASH CAUTIOUSLY Extreme Care Is Essential if The) Are to Keep Well Good Ventilation Is Needed. Squash should be carefully handled from the field to storage if they are to keep well. Place on wooden racks in storage house one layer deep. The house should be warm and hafO a good circulation uf üir.
