FLOORS When floors are laid, the carpen ters scrape and sandpaper the whole surface until it is smooth. Then it is gone over and every pore and crevice filled with what is known as an “oak filler.” This comes to match various woods and merely fills and smooths the surface without chang ing the color.

Leave that until thoroughly dr.v and then either wax or put on two c oats of shellac, (color less), and wax over the shellac. Whether it is best to use shellac or not is an open question. For my self, l never use anything as a floor finish except wax, put on with a machine and re-done whenever nec essary. Treat walls the same way: sandpaper, clean, fill big holes or cracks wilh plastic wood, stain slightiy to make unevenly colored boards uniform (or to darken or to change the hue) and then wax. If you want to save labor and yon like a very shiny surface and want to emphasize the grain of the wood, use varnish. If you want a gloss finish, use shellac under wax and polish. If you want a natural pine effect, merely wax. and polish only until smooth. If the painted strips make a continuous design, which could he used as a wall paper, It should he suitable. ©. t>> Kmlty Po«t.

Delicate Operation Cheats California Prisoner in Penitentiary San Quentin Prison, Cal - (UP) — By means of an "outside plumbing system,” Jackson E. Ross, 4”-ycar o!d convict, is alive - more than a year fater lie swallowed a handful of lye in a suicide attempt. Dr. L. L. Stanley, famed prison physician, conceived the "outside plumbing system" as a means of feeding Ross after the prisoner's throat and gullet were burned away by the lye. In June, 1931, Ross decided to cut short his 35-year sentence from San Jose on an assault charge. With his throat and gul let destroyed, it meant that no more food could pass from his throat to his stomach through the natural channel. When Ross was placed in the prison hospital, attaches said lie had no chance to live. Food was first injected into Ross. Bue he wasted away. Then Dr. Stanley performed an other miracle of modern science. He cut a hole in Ross's stomach to allow food to enter. Through the “outside plumbing system” Ross now eats ordinary food. He chews it in his mouth, where the food is mixed with saliva! fluid. Then tin food is placed in a funnel. It travels down the tube outside his body and enters his stomach. Ross, now' eager to live and elated with the device, has gained back every pound he lost. “It's inconvenient.” he declared. “But the results are magnificent." Dr. Stanley has been in charge of the prison medical department 18 years. To him, the 5,000 pris oners are part of a great labora* tory. -^— -■ Fish With Hands Is New Curiosity Detroit — tUPt — A fish with hands under its upper lip to gather food is among the curiosi ties Silvino De Silva, recent visitor here, brought back from an expe dition to South America.

A “Two-Bit” club has been organ ized and 90 per cent of the employed men and women of the town are members. They each give 25 cents a week to the community chest. The community council has estab- i lished a wood pile. When transients > apply for meals they are taken to the wood pile and it is determined just how well their hands fit an axe handle. “The wood pile has assisted in getting rid of a number of habit- : ual bums.” said Fred Krocger, chair- j man of the council. “At the same time we have been able to get a lot of wood chopped.” Civic improvement projects, high- I way and street repair jobs and other necessary work has been done by crews of men hired by the council. The workers are paid in scrip. The scrip is used in payment for | food, clothing and fuel obtained ! from the council store which was | established last year. ---• • Cute Colonel? is shown in her uniform as hono rary colonel of the University of Nebraska R.

QUAKES MAY BE TRACED TO OIL Austin, Tex. — (UP> —Withdraw als of huge volumes of oil and gas lrom the earth may be the cause of minor earthquakes. Dr. E. H. Sel lards, head of the bureau of eco nomic geology at the University of Texas, believes. He lias asked mem bers of (he Southwest Geological society to study the matter. His question was propounded to them recently in discussing the rel ative records of two Texas earth ' quakes. One at Valentine, in August, 1931, was recorded by seismograph as far as Sitka. Alaska. Strassburg and Honolulu. One at Mexia failed to register on instruments within 100 miles last April. Using the theory that deep quakes travel farthest. Dr. Sellard suggest ed possibility that the Mexia quake near a large oil field, might have been close to the surface and due to oil withdrawals. Depression in tiie gulf coast area of a large tract of land without, shock, also is cited as an indica* lion. The New Style Investor. Prom the Magazine of Wall Street Mr. Walter S. Case has done n public, service in pointing out to the New York Conference of the Invest ment Bankers' association how, in the present deranged condition ot economy and finance, the old rules of investment are no longer depend able. Today's investor must weigh the passing effects of investment mob-psychologv He must consider that finance the world over is ruled by arbitrary and artificial measures and that trade, both domestic and international, is subject to rigid and arbitrary restrictions. He must cor relate erratic exchange, managed currencies, agrarian unrest, interna tional economic and political debt problems, disappearing government al revenues, crushing taxation and the complex of forces that are mak ing for lecoverv. He must remem ber history, watch and apraisc the news of the day. furbish up his eco nomic fundamentals and interpret events that defy them. In a word, ns Mr. Case says, the investor in these times must buy and sell "on broad judgment, involving political, social, psychological and scientific factors.’’ He must be a philosopher of investment. He needs all the technical equipment of the markets as much as ever, but he must us* judgment more than ever. . '■ ■ — ■ — “Window Burglar" Scare Returns to City Allentown.

STANDARD FARM GARDEN C ireful investigations made through several years have shown the exact quantities of vegetables necn ary for balancing the. diet and maintaining tlie health of an indi vidual These quantities have been translat'd into row-feet for plan ning and planting standard gar dens, Ii most localities the standard spring g .den for the maintenance of one p xson should contain the followin' Asparagus, 10 feet, of row, string be . ns 40 feet, lima beans 40 feet, bet 6 feet, cabbage 20 feet, carrots 4 met, corn 40 feet, cucum bers 8 f t eggplant 5 left, kale or spina: 5 feet, lettuce 10 feet, mustard 5 feet, okra 20 feet, onons 15 feet English peas 40 feet. Irish potatoes 100 feet, squash 5 feet, turnips 20 feet, and tomatoes 50 feet. This appromlmates 450 feet ot row in the early garden lor the production of food required by one ■ person: t'j rows 100 feet or nine rows 50 feet long. A farm family, therefon. of five persons cannot get along with a garden smaller than one-fifth of an acre — 60 by 145 feet. This should be increased approximately two-thirds in order to take care of the fall garden that must be planted latex. Should a surplus for canning and drying be desired, a still larger garden must be planned, as the row-footage of vegetables given above is sufficient to supply only the green, fresh food for an individual. The value of this green food is about $25 per yea . so that much cash can be saved per family member through a garden 30 by 50 feet for each individual getting a living from the farm. This value can be increased by planting for a surplus to be canned, dried or stored With times as they are, economy as of this character should not be overlooked. II is well to re member, also, that the city dweller does r.ct have a garden, but re quires lust as much green food as anyone else. Why not make a trade with some city family to supply all the n essary green garden vege tables t quires for the year at. say. $25 per family member, then plant a standard spring garden for each individual, to be followed by a fall garden? This standard fall garden should contain the following: String beans 10 feet of row, lima 10 leet, beet' 6 feet, collards 15 feet, cu cumbers 5 feet, kale or spinach 15 feel onions 6 feet, turnips 120 feet, Irish potatoes 40 feet, squash 5 feet, turnips 120 feet, and tomatces 10 feet, a lota’ ot 294 feet. . i ■ . — - - ♦ • — -— MARKETNG ONIONS Onions arc one o(. the most spec ulative of tlie vegetable crops and p.ofits dep» nd largely on deter mining ihe p*oper time to sell. Jn jears of short oops it invariably l ays to he’d tnions late into the season and rel' them out during February, March and early April. Last year, lor example, the pr'ros obtained after February first were more than doui’e those obtained during the fall months. On the other hand, prices two years ago were lower alter Frlruary first than at harvest time. Records show that during Ihe past 4C years there have never been two consecutive seacons when it was highly profitable to hold onions for the late market, Last year it paid handsomely be cause of the short crop, so if priors do rise alter February first this rea son ii v.ill bn a decided exception to the rule. The crop this season was one cf the largest ever har vested, being only slightly smaller than that of 1P30. Because of the largo crop of lets onions following a heavy crop cf midseason onions, early fall shipments were exception ly light. This means that an un usually large quantity of onions was stored for iaier use. Imports of onions will probably be a minor factor because of the tariff rates now in eflect. Hrwever, the storage holdings of onions are sufficient this season to more than compen sate for the lack of imports. An other factor that will have an Im portant bcarina: on the closing weeks of the Murage onion caaaon will be the new crop in Texas. Eariy indications are lliat a large acre age will be planted, particularly in tiie earlier sections. Of course there is no ceitainty at this time that a heavy movement of new crop on ions will begin early, but there is a strong possibility. Those who arc holding osions will undoubtedly find that a free selling policy during the early winter months will be more profitable than holding in hopes of a rise at the end of stor age season. WAS IT WISE COUNSEL? After a dairy farmer finished his milking the other night he made this remark: "We should be better oft if we did not have a milking machine. We would be keeping lewer cows and employing more la bor.” This causes one to reflect up on what would be the situation if if farm work were carried on with out labor-saving machinery. We so quickly lorget the conditiens on the farm when its work was car ried on largely by hand labor and comparatively few labor-saving ma chines. Without machinery we could not maintain the standard of living that exists on the farm today. It is doubtful whether there are enough people to cut the wheat crop if we were to use the methods em ployed one hundred years ago. Our TURKEYS NEED FINISH Plenty of rich mash with an am ple supply of cracked corn will im prove the quality of market tur keys. Unless turkeys are well fleshed and have a covering of fat under the skin, they usually sell as under glades. The same Is true If they are fill of pinfeathers even though they may be in fair condition. Ordinary laying mash containing 13 to 20 per cent protein fed in open hop pers will enable growing turkeys to maintain rapid growth which in sures tenderness. This high protein I feed also keeps up feather growth. t rood roads, autom.'biles, trucks, ra dios, electric lights, washing ma chines, and all the many other things that, have come to the farm arc results of improved machinery, improved methods of growing crops. No one would care to go back to the methods of living 25 years ago. The. present method of doing things is more in keeping with our taste, and these improvements have been brought about became of improved facilities lor doing our work. Our attention should be devoted to the best system of farm management that can bo inaugurated on lira farm rather than about the elimin ation of essential labor-saving ma chinery. We should be directed to laying plans as to how this ma chinery can be used to give us the largest return possible. If the lar mer who thought he would bebet ler off without the milking ma chine is not producing enough feed for the cows ho is keeping or has too few cows to warrant him to go to the expanse of purchasing a ma chine, then he, perhaps, would be better without the mechanical milker. On the other hand, if his place is large enough to permit him to use modern machinery and labor cun be adjusted to be well and economically employed, then to quit using a machine that increases his capacity for the production of milk would be a mistake. Each farm is a problem unto itself and the owner who expects to have suc cess must be directed in these days to laying plans to utilize power ma einery and labor savin"' device* economically. PURC HASING FERTILIZER The farmer must be a deep stu dent of his business or he will b? led into buying useless products and incurring expenses that are not waranted or that will bring him low returns. Certain .mixtures or so called fertilizers that contain rare elements necessary to plant growth are not infrequently offered lot sale. Invariably, extravagant claims are made for these growth-produc ing mixtures which are made up principally of limestone, peat, and other inexpensive materials. When it cornea to fertilizing the soil, thre# elements are commonly recognized as plant food. They are: nitrogen phosphoric acid, and potash. The farmer has but to observe the tag on the sack of the fertilizer to note what he is purchasing. State laws require that all fertilizers be plainly labeled, but if you are in doubt as to the moaning of the label, a letter directed to the experiment station college of agriculture, or depart ment of agriculture in your stats will bring you information concern ing the label on any particular product offered as a commercial fertilizer. Reputable manufacturers of fertilizers arc honestly labeling their products and it is better for the purchaser of fertilizer to deal with such films when purchasing material for enriching his soil. - « • CARE Ol IIOGS That certain practices arc closely associated with profitable farm op eration is pretty largely taken for granted, and yet checking back on them occasionally la desirable. In one state, during the last six or eight years, a large number of far mers have kept detailed farm rec ords on their business. These rec ords are totaled, analyzed and com pared by farm management service people. Tho.c who have done thi best through both gcod and poor years with hogs have been found to do the following: Select healthy, active, well-deve'oprd sires from large litters. Flush sows at breeding time. Feed balanced rations fa preg nant sows. Feed bred sows at a dis tance from the sleeping quarters. Avoid injury to sows from narrow doors, high sills or crowded pens. Usa guard rails in farrowing pens. Clean sows before farrowing. Scrub the farrowing pens with hot lye wa ter. Haul sows and pigs to clean pasture. Keep pigs in clean pasture until at least 100 pounds in weight. Castrate boars at two to four weeks of age. Study markets to judge the best types, best weights and best times to sell. Vaccinate pigs at four to six weeks or shortly after wean ing. Feed balanced ration to grow ing pigs. Feed balanced ration to fattening pigs. ABOUT POOR LAYERS There arc many reasons why hens don’t lay. but one thing is certain, according to a poultry extension specialist. More attention could be given to better management on many farms where egg production is low’. Probably the most common i reason for unthrifty birds that will lay poorly this winter will be worms. In the case of infested flock, it would be advisable to treat the birds and then confine them to clean quarters to prevent a reinfestation. Kens won't lay their best unless their houses are kept clean, free from lice and mites, well ventilated, and not overcrowded. Four square feet a bird is best for good results. There also should be plenty of reed hopper space. Hoppers 10 feet long which permit feeding from both sides will pro.ide enough hopper space for 100 birds. Plenty of fresh drinking w’ater also is important. A BIT OF WISDOM Keen veu: soil and your soil will keep you. thus reducing the numoer cf pin feathers. A good many feeders pre fer feeding mash wet with skim milk for stimulating maximum gains toward the finish. Cracked corn fed frc,n open hoppers is for producing that layer of fat which adds so much to the appearance and quality of the birds. It is im portant to have enough hoppers for half the birds to eat at once. Fast growing turkpys require enormous quantities of water. These sugges tions must be put into practica about two months before market lime to be most beneficial.
