American naval position In the Far East and lowtjr this countryes prestige in the. orient. It was said Mr. Hale, found many admirals of the navy were hostile to the treaty mainly because of litnita-' tions placed on American building of flinch gun cruisers and the increase ip the Japanese ratios Senator Borah, chairman of the foreign relations com tniltee. and Senators Reed of Benn•ylvania and Robinson of Arkansas, are expected to l<hd the fight in behalf of ratification of the pact.

Mr. du Pont presented arguments and statements designed to refute the claims of the dry s that the country s prosperity in iwmt years has been due mainly.' or in lAjy. ' .<le.grv“ to prohibition.

Declaring that •'temperance” was his objective in coming from his farm tn Westwood, ‘ Mass., to talk to the committee, he described prohibition as “the most intemperate thing that exists.” . BEFORE another committee, that of the senate on lobbying, the liquor issue also was dominant. Henry H. Curran, president of tbe,Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, had been summoned to tell of the activities of the officials of that organi-

ration, and he proved n very lively •witness- In his first day's testimony he predicted the development of a newnational party made up of the wet I elements of both the Republican and i Democratic parties, the platform for 1 w hich already has been written, by Dr. i Samuel H. t'lnjreh. president of the C.-iruegie Institute of Technology.

THREE hundred and eighteen, inmates of the Ohio .state penitentiary at Columbus lost their lives in one of the worst holocausts of recant years, and the pity of it<-is that not one of them need have died If the cell tiers had been unlocked promptly. At least, that is the statement of A. E. Nice, fire chief of Columbus. Where the. blame-1* to be placed will be determined by an official inquiry. Tlie fire started, apparently, from a’ short circuited wire and spread with great rapidity, and most of the victims {verished in locket) cells. The other prisoners, numbering many hundreds. being freed, helped the firemen and guards in rescue work and some of them performed notable acts of heroism. AVarden P. E. Thomas suit! at the Investigation of s the disaster that he did not provide general fire protection at the prison because the Columbus fire companies could reach there in two minuted, and that he did not go inside the wails to the scene of the fire because he hid given orders and expected them to be carried out. The penitentiary, like most others In the country, was terribly overcrowded; in addition, the buildings were p<H»rly constructed and- not fireproofed. COLONEL LINDBERGH, accompanied by his wife, put himself oti the front page again by a reeordhieaking flight from Los Angeles to New York in his new Lockheed Sirius low wing monoplane. With one stop at Wichita for jrefuellng. the Lindys made the trip in 14 hours. 45 minutes and 32 seconds. The.flight was unique in that it was made at altitudes ranging from l4.iXk> to 15.500 feet, the colonel's idea being to demonstrate that express and passenger plane service can he greatly speeded up if the planes fly in the Jdgher reaches where the air is thinner and the resistance less. Mrs. Lindbergh .shared the honors with her husband, for she acted as navigator throughout the flight and at times handled the controls. • AMONG the victims of airplane accidents were two noted men. Count Henri de la Vaulx of Paris, president of the International Aeronautical federation, and three companions were electrocuted at Jersey

City when their plane ran into a power cable in-a fog. Maj. Lionel M. Woolson, army air reserve, chief aeronautical engineer of, the Packard Motor company and inventor of the Packard Diesel aircraft engine, and two companions were kiiled ? near Attica when their Diesel motored plane crashed into a hillside during a blinding stiowstorm. They were taking the plane, to New York for exhibition in the aircraft show. Major Woolson designed the motor used by Commander Rogers in Ids flight to Honolulu, the X type.motor for 'Lieut. 'AI Williams’ racing plane two years ago and the engines of Hie navy dirigible Shenandoah, yi/TTH Gates W. M.Garrah of New »’ York as president, Leoti Fraser as deputy president and Pierre Quesnay as general manager, the bank for international settlements at Basel, Switzerlartli, Was fully organized and ready for work. The directorate decided that the issue of shares of stock of the bank should take place on the eighth day, after • ratification Os the Young plan by Great Britain and Italy. On that day the new scheme of handling Gorman reparations becomes officially operative. The directors decided to enter into trukt agreements with Hungary, Bulgaria, and Czechoslovakia to handle the collection of their reparations. Mr. McGarrah was empowered to, open, banking accounts whenever he pleases if the local and central banks do not object. CHICAGO is really trying to rid itself of the gangsters who infest the city, and who have given ic such a malodorous reputation. Last week tlie Chicago crime commission listed the 2S men whom it considers the worst of the lot. labeling them "public enemies" and asking the police to treat tiieni. accordingly. Police Commissioner Russell promised that he would co-operate in harassing them ami that they would be arrested whenever they appeared on the streets. There was no news in ths* list. Every one »f tlie rmyi named is notorious and his misdeeds well known to all readers of the Chicago newspapers. . If the crime commission could see its way to printing the names of the corrupt politicians and' disreputable with 1 whose protection- and aid the gangsters operate, the crime situation in Chicago might be cleared up more speedily. , REVOLT of tlie. Nationalists of India against British rule Is becoming more serious daily - , and has passed beyond the "passive resistance" advocated by Mahatma Gandhi. There have been bloody riots in various quarters, and at. Chittagong the insurgents raided the arsenal. The authorities now are making free use of the military forces and many natives have been killed as well as some soldiers. The revolt has spread over the entire Indian peninsula, outbreaks being reported In Karachi, on the Arabian sea; Chittagong, near Burma; Bombay. a’thousand miles southwest; Calcutta and Madras, and late last week at Peshawar, on the northwest frontier. EDDA MUSSOLINI, daughter of the premier of Italy, was married Thursday tn Rome to Count Galeazzo Ciano, son of the Italian minister of communications. It was a spectacular eyent, .witnessed by she high government officials, the diplomatic corps; and the cream of Italian society. The duce escorted his daughter, and after them enme wife and their four other children? The streets surrounding the church were kept clear by companies of Fascist! and police, and the interior of the. edifice was gay with Roman banners and lovely flowers. President hoover, in letters to the chairmen of the senate and house appropriations committees, reiterated his warning that any substantial increase in appropriations by congress beyond the budget estimates would certainly result in a treasury deficit in the next fiscal year. Chairman Wood of tip* house committee said that the President was not uneasy over appropriations in the regular sutk ply bills but that he was fearful thw extraordinary expenditures might be authorized in a number of miscellaneous measures that are now under way. The budget estimates called for appropriations of $3,830,445,231. which is jn43.696.0(M) less than the amount made available for the current fiscal year. Chairman Wood said that the supply bills already passed called for expenditures of $850,000,000 in addition to the fixed charges on the government. The $850,000,000 allowance, he said, was well within the budget estimates. All of the supply bills with the exception of the ode carrying funds of the naval establishment have been passed by the house. It will not exceed the budget estimates, house leaders say. , * - (JEX ISM. Western Kewepaper Union.)

TTO-UW7 tfifcy IXwxlL POOR FEED PLANS CUT HERD PROFIT Mill; Yield Decreases if Cows Don't Get Right Ration. Indifferent feeding methods for the dairy herd are sometimes largely re simnsible for a drop in mjlk produc tion during the summer, and an un even production which Ims a liaii effect upon the profits of tlie dairyman, it is pointed out hv I- Blackman of tlie animal husbandry' department of tlie Ohio State university. ' "The time to plan the summer management program is while the cattle are enjoying good pasture,” says Blackman. "Tlie big flow of milk usually cones in May and June while cattle are enjoying nearly ideal feeding conditions. Later, when weather and dried-up pastures come along, there comes a big slump in milk production and the; spring freshening cows never come -back to the high level of production.”’ Blackman asserts that when the undesirable pasture conditions come on it may be profitable to keep the cattle up during tlie day. and to feed some extra roughage. such ns silage. Sometimes more grain may also be added profitably. In addition to the careful manage-men-t during tlie summer. good' breeding system which "ill bring tlie cows into milk at the times when tlie supply of milk is .generally low and prices good, wilt help the. dairyman solve the problem of uneven production and consequent loss. Grain Feeding of Cows. on Pasture Necessary Green, succulent pasture is naturally high in protein but Is low in total digestible nutrients. A cow milking over twenty pounds of .milk a day cannot eat enough pasture to provide the necessary carbohydrates to maintain, that production. Grain feeding of this cow on pasture is absolutely necessary,, says J. C. Nisbet, extension dairyman, Kansas- State Agricultural college. Her grain . ration need not be high In protein—home-grown feeds will balance the pasture. A mixture of 400 pounds of corn and 200 pouiids of oats should be fed at the rate of one pound of grain to every four and otieduilf pounds <d milk from the Ayrshire, Jersey ami Guernsey, and one pound of grain to five pounds of milk from the Holstein. Dry pasture contains about one third as much' protein as the green succulent grass. An understanding of this fact makes tlie successful dairyman begin to add a high protein feed to his grain ration as soon as pasture starts to dry. The grain mix then is composed of 400 pounds corn, 2<r> pounds oats, and 1W poumls <>f <Smtunseed meal. The rate of feeding is changed to one pound of grain daily to every pound of fat. produced a week. Plan Abundant Supply of Roughages for Winter ‘Tlie shortage of good roughage during the past winter should insure/an abundant supply of this type of dairy feed during the future. Sometimes we need a real shortage in order to impress upon tis the value of roughage as an essential part of the dairy cow's ration. As a matter of fact, roughage should form the basic part of the ration, with enough concentrated feeds being used 'to supplement the roughage from the standpoint of total nutrients and protein needed. If sufficient alfalfa and clover hay Is not in sight to meet rhe needs of tlie cattle during tlie coming winter, we would suggest that soy beans be given consideration. Soy beans are an annual. They may be cut for hay or' they may he threshed and used as a protein supplenient. They will grow on land that Is more acid than will clover or alfalfa. However, they will respond well to lime. The seed should be inoculated to give tlie best results in most cases. 1k Physical Condition of Cow at Time of Calving The physical condition of the row at the time of freshening Ims a direct relation to the milk production for the entire lactation period, according to Hoctor Eckles. Experience shows that if a cow freshens in poor physical condition, as a result of haying been fed poor rations for a period preceding, she-starts considerably below her normal level of milk prodmtion and no amount of rare in feeding ami management will later bring her up to the level she should have reached tiad she been in proper condition. Pasture Food Value Afore food value per acre is obtained frotn pastures when they are not grazed too early or too closely. Early pastures, even though they are bulky, supply an abundance of protein. For dairy qiWs such pa-tures should be supplemented by highly rnrhonaceaus concentrates such as corn, kafir or barley. Grain should be fed at the rate of one pound to each five nr six pounds of milk produced when the rows are on good pasture. Feeding Dairy Heifer The chief business of the yearling dairy heifer is to grow—to get ready for motherhood and the production of milk. Growth, while guided by Inheritance and stimulated by unseen forces, geta its material from feed. As yearling heifers advance to pregnancy fob lowed by their first lactation periods, their nutrient requirements are easily supplied from legume hay, silage, and grain during the wintet months and from good pasture and a little grain daring the summer season. *

By <V. A. RADFORD Mr, William A. Radford will alnswer questions and give advice FREE OF' COST on all problems pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers ot this paper. On account of his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer. he» Is. without doubt, the highest authority on the subject- Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 407. South Dearborn Street, Chicago. 111,, and only inclose two-cent stamp tor reply. The barn here illustrated ’s designed for the medium-sized herd. It provides accommodation for twentyfour cows, with a bull pen and calf pen at one end. The dimensions of this building are 34 feet by 84 feet. Part of this barn is set aside for the use of the farm horses and in this part we have three single stalls, one box stall, feed room and harness room. One of the features is the placing of the feed room and the silo. This arrangement, it will be noticed, centers the supply of feed and facilitates the establishing of a feeding plan which will eliminate all wasted energy. The arrangement places tlie cows facing in. The preference, relative { to tins point, is divided among different farmers, some preferring the arrangement which faces the cows out, and others favoring that used in this design.

Don’t Scrub Linoleum if You Wish Best Result If you wish to preserve your inlaid linoleum on the kitchen floor, do not scrub It. When it is first laid, wax it two or three times with light coats of wax. well polished. Use a dust mop daily. If anything is spilled wipe it up at once. When washing is necesessary use only a mild soap and lukewarm wafer. Then rewax. The wax will fill the pores of the linoleum and the dirt will not grind in. If your linoleum Is'printed, give it a light colir of varnish before waxing, to preserve the pattern. \ Adobe Brick Now Used in Small Home Building “Adobe." humble, sun-dried brick, was used by Franciscan fathers in the building of their missions, and later many homes and commercial structures were erected with these rudely made bricks. As the years wore on. however, abode became primarily the stuff of which ruins were likely to be made.

The outstanding feature of this ba>n is the roof construction. The modern dairy barn should be built like a factory, because it is a factory, housing very expensive and delicate machinery for production Os milk—namely, the high-bred dairy cow. it should be given the thought and intelligent planning for efficient operation that is necessary for any successful factory. As a inarer of fact, nowadays a farmer hasn’t 'much choice in tlie matter. A large. Inefficient dairy is hardly possible nnymord.

Many of its features are planned to keep the cows up to correct pitch, so to speak. Such are ventilation, drinking cups, cork floors. • Here is a barn that meets all the requirements of the modern dairy factory of large proportions. It is planned with a view to maximum, production by the cows.

The Isight seeing tourist learned to look for Hie adobe mission and the adobe house as relics of a romantic past. He scarcely expected to see niodern homes .built <>f that material. Mission-style homes, churches and business blocks long have beeh popular, but ordinarily these have been built of brick or frame with a coating of. stucco. Lately, however, the old custom of using one’s cellar excavation as a source of sun-dried bricks for walls has been revived, and modern small homes and ranclvhouses are being built of adobe. Blue Bureau Drawers Help Keep Linens White The old bluing bag that was dipped into (and still is by many) the wash tub of water in which white clothes were rinsed, has a competitor.

It has been proven that if inside the drawers are covered with blue paint the linen will remain a delicate whit*.

FARMt FOOLTRY GOOD POINTERS ON FEEDING CHICKS Use Mash Mixture From Time Chicks Are Born.. Start feeding the mash mixture to chicks when they are 36 to 4S hours old and allow constant access to it until they reacli maturity, says the New York state college of agriculture. Provide plenty of feeding space and feed in such amounts that fresh mash can be fed twice daily. ’ The mash mixture recommended by the college contains 45 pounds of yellow corn meal, 10 pounds of wheat bran, 15 pounds of flour wheat middlings, 10 pounds of fine ground heavy oats, 2 pounds of steamed bone meal. ’,2 pound of salt, 10 pounds of meat scrap, 50-55 per cent protein, and 10 pounds of dried skini milk or buttermilk. , If fine ground heavy oats bannot be obtained, yellow corn meal may be substituted for the oats. The dried milk may be omitted from the mash . when liquid or condensed milk products Are used. When the chicks are eight weeks old, begin feeding tlie grain mixture, composed pf 60 pounds of cracked yellow edrn and 40 pounds of whea; in hoppejrs. Keep it constantly before the cliic.ks. They should not eat as much scratch grain by weight as mash until three months old. Restrict the amount of grain if necessary to make them eat more mash.’ Fine grit may be given ‘ from the start. I’rovide oyster shells after the chicks are four months of age or when they begin to shew, evidence of reaching maturity. When sunshine enters the house through glass, mix one-half pound of ony half pint of;cod liven oil into every I<M) pounds of mash during ■ the period when mash is fed. Afterwards feed enough cod liver oil to equal cjne-half pound for bach 100 pounds of total feed used. Ducklings Overfed on Concentrated Feeds Ducklings may be overfed upon concentrated foods. They should have some .tbhder green food in their ration and sand for grit. A recommended ration is equal parts-of rolled oatsxmd bread crumbs, with a little sand, moistened with water for the first three days after they are,at least hours old and,, after the / . third day equal parts of bran and cornmeal added to this mixture. After the first week, two or three p'arts, of bran, one part each of cornmeal and wheat middlings, 5 per cent (one- * twentieth part) high-grade meat scrap and 10 per cent (one-terith phrt) chopped green food. A. little sand should also bo u<ldO(F. ' Fowjls' beads turn dark as the result of any one of several internal diseases, the nature .of which would require an examination of the organs to ■ disclose. 1 Hatchability of Eggs Do not'.set eggs that are older than a week or ten (lavs. Hatchability de- . creases, rapidly after the eggs are ten days old. and the chicks- hatched are apt to be low in vitality. A room temperature of about 50 degrees is best for eggs Which are being saved for hatcliing. To lessen the' work of ' turning the eggs while saving, they should be placed In a 15-dozen case which should be turned over one side a day. This, means work, but it pays well in the end. . , Poultry Facts Keep comfortable temperature un- . - der hove ; r for chicks. * • • Do not keep chicks of different ages under the same hover. « • • T’se feed that has proved satisfactory by feeding tests. » • • Use clean dry sand or litter on floor. Clean every week and more often if needed. Separate cockerels from pullets as early as possible or before chicks are ten weeks old. When the poultry range is idle, it is a good plan to have a crop of bats growing therein. • • • Use hopper and water fountains that will not allow chicks to get in feed or water with feet.Locate brooder house on ground that hits had no chickens or chicken manure on it for the paist year. When it is not possible to keep the birds from rangimgjqn'a certain area, frequent plowingfdiski'ng and liming sire essential. • *\ • Like chicks, goslints should not be fed until really necessary, about thirtysix hours is best. They do not eat much for the first few days. Recent experiments at the University of Kentucky have shown that high hatchability was secured when hens were allowed bluegrass range throughout the season. • » * • Set at least five eggs this spring for every pullet that you wish to put ih the laying house next fall. Milk may be added to the ration of ( the breeders if it is available. It is especially valuable, since it will stimulate egg production and will increase hatchability. For best results keep the eggs which are to be set in a cool place that does 'not drop below freezing (32 degrees F.). Set the eggs at least every two weeks, but better, twice a week.
