Acting in accordance with the pro visions of tho Cappcr-Tlncher law approved August 2, the American Farm Bureau Federation has applied to Secretary of Agriculture H. C. Wallace for a hearing relative to tho practices, rules and regulations in effect on tho various grain ex changes of the country. As soon as cold weather has des troyed tho green vegetation upon which mice a'nd rabbits feed, they will be looking elsewhere for succ ulent food. Young fruit trees are in danger, after these pests hayc once tasted the juicy bark. One rabbit can girdle a dozen trees in a day unless precautions are taken to prevent it. Rabbits attack trees that aro from one to six years old; mice injure trees of any age. It Is better and cheaper to protect tho treo trunks in fall than to try to savo girdled trees next spring by bridge grafting. Trees may bo protected cither by painting tho trunks with concentra ted Limo sulpher solution or'by plac ing somo protector about tho trunk. Protectors may bo made from poul try wire, building paper, or corn stalks. Patent protectors made of wood veneer or wiro may bo secured on tho inarketi. Eighteen inch poul try wiro with half Inch mesh is very satisfactory and has the advantage of serving for several years without being removed. Building paper, veneer, and cornstalks servo equally well but these should bo removed in the spring since they afford shelter for wooly aphis, mealy bug and other injurious insects. bers, At present tho constitution prohibits tho stato from contracting obligations in excess of $100,000 which prevents tho issunnco of bonds to create funds for rural credits. It is also felt by the Farm Bureau Federation that property should bo assossed more aB to Us earning power thau according to value. The Nebraska Farm Bureau is taking a referendum among its mem bers asking tho advisability of cir culating petitions calling for a con stitutional amendment striking from tho present constitution tho limita tions which prohibit tho forming ot a state rural credits system. The proposition of also petitioning for an amendment giving the legisla ture authority to classify tangible property for taxation has also been put up to the Farm Bureau mem- Farm butchering is but another system of marketing live stock. Meat Is a Valuable but, unfortunately a highly perishable product. Losses thru Improper handllug, cutting, or curing may easily eliminate tho pro fits. Handling meat successfully necessitates a close attention to toany details, most of which aro very important. Extension bulletin 52 of tho Nebraska College or Agricul ture contains a general outllno or guide for the slaughtering, cutting, curing and keeping of meat on tho farm. These are various success ful methods for most of these oper ations. In its 52 pages with 47 illustrations- this bulletin .'-carefully outlines for each operation a method which has been selected as tho one best adopted for beginners. warn -fcgjwea m ... i m m in i i .m mnpMiiu Have you lost your appetite?

The announcement by tho inter state commerce commission on Oct. 22 of a sweeping reduction In freight rates on grain and hay means tho saving of millions of dollars to Neb raska farmers and was particularity gratifying to the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation, which with tho American Farm Bureau Federation made a determined fight beforo tho commission for relief from tho prcs- ' ont high rates. "The commission did not grant every thing that we ! asked for," said H. D. Luto, secre tary of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation, "but at that tho reduc tion was a favorablo one in tho face or tho impending railway strike and It shows that tho commission has! rec ognized that tho salvation of the agriculture interests Is a freight rate that will pormlt it to live." i The Farmers Live Stock Market 1 ing Committee of fifteen has com I pleted Its draft of the national live j stock marketing plan which will be j submitted to tho producers' ratlllca ( Hon conference which will meet in I Chicago November 10, at tho La Here is Comfort Guaranteed your whole house (every room) warm as you want it in coldest weather.

Simon Bros THE .ORIGINAL 'PIPELESS FURNACE TRIPLE'CASING PATENT Importance of a Complete Cham ot Boiling Point Fractions You can't light coal with a match. Kin dling is necessary. For the same reason,the heavier fractions of gasoline can't give you instant ignition, snappy pick-ups and full power and mileage unless there is an ample supply of low-boiling point fractions to act as kindling. Straight-distilled gasoline possesses these boiling point fractions in correct propor- tions. That is why Red Crown Gasoline is uniformly satisfactory. It is straight-distilled gasoline that meets every requirement of the U. S.' Government, specifications for motor gasoline. There is no better gasoline for cold weather use. Authorised Red Crown Dealers Everywhere Wherever you go you can always get Red Crown Gasoline from reliable, competent, obliging dealers.

Tho proper housing for bow and litter will bo an Important probjom next spring. Spring, howover, is not a very good timo for tho con struction of hog houses and conse quently this work should be done in tho fall. Thcro aro several essential factors which should be considered in tuo construction of a good hog house. Among those might bo montionod warmth, dryness, an nbundanco of direct sunlight, ventilation, sanita tion, safoty and comfort, convonlonco neglected by the country carpontor ( aro ventilation, sunlight and sanitary i floor construction. j Tho Nebraska type of hog house j mentioned above is constructed of clay tile. Tho standard slzo Is 23x GO but tho length can bo vnrled to suit the individual farmer's partlc-. nlar needs. In designing this hog , house tho sldo walls woro mndo only four foot high and a common or-1 dlnary gable roof was used In order ( that tho building should not oncloso any groat quantity of air and con-, soqently bo extronioly cold in the oarly spring. Tho building Is light ed by roof windows, two for each interior pen. Thcso windows aro eo placed -that sunlight Bweeps tho entire floor of th.e houso at somo timo during tho day. Ventilation is secured by moans of two galvan ized Iron ventilators placed upon tho roof. In any hog houso the floor is an important factor. Clay building tilo laid upon a two or three inch layor of Baud and covorod with an Inch of commit' makes an ideal floor. It is much warmer than ordinary con crete and yet presents a smooth sur faco which can bo readily cleande and disinfected in ense of cholera or other hog diseases. A four foot alloyway passes throu gh tho houses from north to south ana the pens aro situated on either sldo. In tho north end is placed a grain-bin and a Btovo room.
