The estimate is based on a supposi

LOVE LAUGHS AT DISTANCE
CORN PRICES
have an upward trend at this time - raak.ng it doubly
wise to ave every grain possible. A cement feeding
floor will prove a great saving in feed, besides the
hogs will grow much faster under sanitary conditions.
It doesn't take a mathmetician to figure cut, that corn
required to put a hog on the market under favorable
circumstances is much less than when he is fed in a
mud hole.
Corn at any price is worth saving. There is always
a market of some kind for it, which is not the case
with everything a farmer raises.

Late Apples Need Spraying
Fall and winter varieties of apples
are subject to injury from the sec
ww oroou or codling moth worms
j late in July and early in August. It
.is therefore advisable to sprav the
trees again during the last ten days
. . T . , . .. .
-uij. in occasional years it is
possible to omit this spray and still
get a high percentage of apples that
are lit to eat in the dark. Those who
have tried this system in the last two
years were sorely disappointed at
po king time. It is better to be on
tne sate side this year. The U. of
N. Agricultural college advises that
tne material to use is lead arsenate
at the rate of 1 pounds to 50
gallons of water. In addition it is
well to add a gallon of lime sulfur
solution or 2-3 pounds of dry linu
siinur. i nis material increases the
cost a little but it serves to check
late outbreaks of scab and sooty
dioich.
Food and Nutrition

and much enthusiasm was shown.
Following the lesson study a lunch

Fumigate Granaries
Xow is the time to clean out your
granaries and fumigate good before
storing your new crop of wheat. The
floors, walls and ceilings of the bins
should be thoroughly cleaned. Then
evaporate liquid bisulphide from
shallow pans. At 70 F. one pound
carbon bisulphide will fumigate 300
cubic feet of air space; at 80 F. it
will fumigate 400 cubic feet, and at
90" F. it will fumigate 500 cubic
feet. At any of these temperatures,
in filled tight bins, one pound should
be used for every 35 bushels of grain.
If bins cannot be made thoroughly
tight the above amount doubled
.should be used.
From Tuesday's Pally
Democrats who have faith in the
vote getting ability of LaFollette to
cause a deadlock in the electoral col
lege and in the house of representa
tives and the ultimate ascension to
the presidency of Governor Bryan,
thru an election to the vice presi
dency by the United States senate
route, are already picking out presi
dential appointments which they ex
pect to ask Governor Bryan for.
They find that the president of the
United States receives for himself a
salary of $7
rent thrown
for traveling expense which he can
expend upon a mere certificate with
out being under the necessity of pro
ducing receipts, and that the quar
termaster general of the army is re-
nuired to, provide suitable accommo
dations for the "horses, carriages and
other vehicles of the president and
of the executive office, in the stables
maintained in the District of Colum
bia for the use of the president."
In addition to ambasadors, com
missioners and other big jobs which
the president has to give out when
vacancies exist, he has personal ap
pointments with salaries attached
amounting to $73,440, tho this var
ies as appropriation bills change the
amounts.
In the official household of the
president there is a steward whose
duty is to have charge of the plate,
furniture and other public property
in the White House, for which he
must give a bond.
Here are a few little personal ap
pointments which the friends of Gov
ernor Bryan can have for the asking
when he becomes president:
One secretary, salary $7,500 when
last beard from.
One executive clerk, $5,000.
One chief clerk. $3,500.
Record clerk. $2,500.
Two expert stenographers. $2,000
each.
