''Incomes from tarm flvcks depend upon poultry housing conditions. A goou flock poorly housed Is almost certhlu to be lc;;s profitable than a poor flock sheltered in an adequate building," warns G.

More and more farm floeks are being thus helped to mal>e the best of warm houses and goou rations during the mouths of short days. Generally, providing the poultry house with lights has been assumed to go hand In hand with E>lec· trlcity on the farm. nut as yet a com· paratively small per cent of Iowa farms are electrically equipped. During the last two years 1 have vis· lted at IE>ast a dozen Iowa farms where tt was called to mv attention that luu· terns had been ust>d to furnish light for the chicken house, sass a writer in \Vallace's Farmer. In most cases, these were gasoline lanterns, although I know at least one farm woman reported the use of an oil pressure l\t>rosene lamp.

Per; haps the lont!:est haul now required · at various Ohio points to move the farmer's wheat Is about eight miles. With a hor·se-drawn vehicle this trip would have requlreu the greater part of a day, ancl the average load would have ranged from ahout 50 bushels In hilly country to about 100 bushels on· good level ronds. Under those conI ditions the weather was an important factor In t!Je mo.-em ent, as wheat was hauled to market gPnerally In fair weather when the roads were dry. Under present-day conditions the trip ts made hy motor truck In about two and one-half hours, nnd loads rang· lng from 85 to 145 bushels are hauled regardless of weather conditions." .

Mr. Fritz has observed a growing tendency among Ohio farmers to sell their wheat f. o. b. the farm, and to make purchases of fertillzt>r, lime, and mixed fePd on terms Including de· livery at the farm. In order to mal;:e such deliveries, Ohio elevntors have equipped trucks for delivery purposes, charges being fixed on a cost basis and In corpora ted as n pa1·t of the sales contract, at rates less than the farmer can trnnsport such commodThe ities from elevator to farm. farmer can now arrange with a local elevator relative to date of threshing and the elevators will supply motor trucks which will be In the wheat field at the beginning of operations. By this method the entire lot of grain Is moved to the local elevator In Jess than a single day. Commerc1al trucking companies also participate in the wheat movement In the rush sea· son, and "·heat is carried until mid· night, and receiving and elevation taken care of. "Obviously such an extremely rapid movement of grain from country to elevator,'' says !<'ritz, "is a severe strain upon the equipment and storage facilities of the local ele· vators. The spet>d at which the railroads touay transport wheat during the 'new crop' movement Is also a substantinl factor in the enormous accomulations of wheat at terminals during the nfter-hanes t n1sb movement. ''In years past,'' Mr. Fritz reports, "tho railroads' box-car equipment was based on a GO.OOO·pound capacity car. The prest?nt car bas a capacity of elthe1· SO,OOO or 100,000 pounds. The us~ of the 60,000-pound capacity car establlshPd a cu::stom among shippers and l'e''ei>ers of loading 1.100 bushels of red winter wheat for a carload.

The common method of hooking the dash light In series with the tall-light, using three-volt bulbs at each point, works nicely with the tail-light, but the system does not work with the stop 'light, which uses a much more powerful bulb, for no one wants a large bulb shining from the dash. The wiring arrangemen t shown eliminates this diffi<'ulty. A one-and-a-ha lf-volt flashlight bulb Is connected across the wire that leads to the stop light from the stop light switch.

Severe stomach pains and poor elimination made me realize that Nuiol would again prove the reliable, trusty keeper of health. Suro enough, with the first bottle the trouble disappeared.
