it was a fairly good crop. I am sorry
that I •can't give the exact yield of
the rest of the field but I am .not
sure enough to say except Quit I fig-
ured at the time that it wee 'Mighty

if the onions •hadn't been taken off
the year before, and I might add, too,
that the n set year aftetabeets this
field was it corn and the difference
could be Ken even then, Just what
it was I could pot -ken, but it was to
be seen easily during the growing
season.
After -Value of Fertilleer;
No matter whealer a farmer buys
a ready -Mixed fertilizer or one that
is made up of the separate parts -and
mixed at home, there is the "after -
value" to take into • consideration
when figuring, the -benefits. derived
from the fertilizer,
So many times we seem to think
that whatever we are ahead for the
one season is what our fertilizeris
worth to us. That is a safe place to
stop figuring all right, but it is not
a fair one. I can safely figure that
every dollar I have spent for fertiliz-
er has made me .from $2.00 to $4,00
in increased production,. This is on
the average, of course, mid I know
of some acres that haye made much
more than this.
- Three years .ago I had a field of
two acres in onions from seed. ne-
va:as toethis the field yeas in potatoes
end h5i51 about four hundred pounds
to the are of complete fertilizer:
The onion field had one thousand
pounds to the acre of a high-grade
onion fertilizer. The year the onions
were planted it was rather dry and
so a good deal. of fertility was not
available that year. ,The year fol-
lowing the potatoes and corn the field
was planted to corn along .with a few
acres adjoining it, Which had been in
potatoes two years Instead of onions
as the other two acres were. The
yield of corn wis nearly a ton better
on the olct onion bed than on the
other part: Besides that it was of
better quality and matured early
enough to be solid and marketable at
once. That, of course, was one rea-
son why there was so much difference
in the yield -it was so well matured
that it was solid and marketable. The
other part of the field was rather
soft.
And while I am mentioning it I
want to add that here is one point
about fertilizer that we cla not con-
sider enough -early maturity. With
me thiseis worth fully as much aS the
large yields'. In fact, M many cases
that is just what it means -larger
yields because of early maturity. In
the short corn seasons that we have,
it is a quicker way of getting an
early corn than • breeding corn up,
though both methods of course, will
help just that mach more.
I have another instance of the
after -value of fertilizer in my own
experience. A field of a little over
two acres was planted to onions from
the seed and twelve hundred pounds
of a complete lertilizer was used to
the acre. The onions were fair. The
next, year this field and another part
next to it was in sugar beets. The
total acreage came to about four, I
think. Now, when one looked over the
field during the growing season there
was not much d.ifference to be seen,
but when you got under the leaves
there was a lot of difference. When
the yield was measured the two acres
that had fertilizer went almost twenty
tons to the acre. To anyone who is
not used to the beet crop let me say
that twenty tens is a mighty satisfac-
tory yield. I have raised slightly less
Your Iron Chore B�'.
The enodern gas engine -is a highly
efficient and never -tiring helper,
capable of adapting itself to ahroet
every known need for power on the
f arm. •
As the first and foremast coneidera-
ton of gas engines is the means of
employing their power, the fleet
thing a farmer or other user needs
te know is not only how to make them
run, but also to understand tbe vari-
ous ways -the best ways -to put
them to work. Wehave seen ennui
gasoline engines standing out in the
open, where the owner leaves them
through summer and winter, covering
them up with seine frail covering like
a blanket or an old box that 4eaks.
An engind in such a situation is eel::
tainly subject to all the direct in -
due of the weather, and should
not be expected to do good work. It
should be housed at all times.
A special engine house, with the
various adaptations of shafts, pul-
leys, belts, etc., where tho engine can
rest bolted clown to a solid bed, is
the best arrangement of all. Such a
house can be built at a place econ-
venient to all power work it is needed
for. It is no trouble at all to have
the cremn separator in a 'lease ad-
joining the engine -room and then
provide a shafting tosrun this separa-
tor. An engine of sufficient power
to do several things at once is the
mast profitable plan, and then sa ar-
range the work that it can operate
more than one thing at a time. ,
There is even a way Of having
several beds made for one particular
type of engine. In this case the en-
gine is wheeled. about on its truck to
the required place, where a firm bed
is ready, bolted down, and then put
to work.
In putting up shafting and pulleys,
you should know about what speed
the pulley is required to run to per-
form the ehosea work ethtisfactorily.
The wood saw will necessarily have
to run very swiftly. The fanning mill
takes a certain speed, the cream
separator another, and the pump still
another. It would never do 'to have
them all the same. You can get.the
required information on all these
things from the maker of your en-
gine. Theea know best what their
engines can do. They will be able to
suggest valuable economies `in other
ways of operationaas well as various
uses, which you never dreamed of.
THE HUMMING BIRD
Ecuador, hi South America, Abounds
With "Feathered Jewels."
Not far from the northwest corner
of South America is the small tri-
angular republic of Ecuador. It coines
pretty near to being the least import-
ant country in that continent, but in
one respect it is the most remark-
able. Nowhere else in the world are
there so many humming birds.
Humming' 'Weds mostly prefer high
altitudes; and some of them are
found nowhere else than along a belt
of the Andes close to the snow line.
Certain species are restricted to
single inoefatain peaks.
The Indians of Ecuador, Colomhia
and Brazil make profitable business
of hunting humming birds' shooting
them with small pellets ofclay dis-
charged from "blowguns." These lat-
ter are ;weapons of great precision -
long reed,s deprived of pith -and do
no damage to the delicate plumage
of the tiny ,feathered ethatuees.
It is necessary for the hunter to
know how to skin the birds; and he
must understand the ayt of preserv-
ing the skins in order that they may
readh the dealet in first class condi-
tion. They are sold to agents, who
ship them to cluayaquil and other sea-
ports, where they are • exported to
Europe.
London IS the principal matket, and
in that city 400,000 humming bird
akins 'have been sold at auction in
a single week. But they are mostly
prepared for millinery and other
ornamental Imes in France and Bel-
gium -though in the latter country
the industry has been interrupted by
the war.
No white man ever saw a humming
bird until after Columbus discovered
America, this feathered tribe beitig
unknown to the Old World, Tropical
America has at least 500 speeies. The
closer one gets to the equator the
more numerove do beneuning birds

BEES USED IN BATTLE
History' Furnishes Two Well Authen-
ticated Instances.
Probably the most remarkablbe
weapons of war ever used were
swarms of bees. There are, at least
two well authenticated instances of
the use of this novel and stinging
war material. •
The first is related by Appian of
the siege of Themiseirra in Pontus,
by Lucullus, in his war against
Mithridates. Turrets were brought
up, mounds were built, and huge
mineswere made by the Romans.
The people of Themiseyra dug open
these mines from above, and through
the holes cast down upon the work-
men bears and other wild animals,
together with swarms of bees.
The second instance occurred in
Enitant. The Danes and Norwegians
were attacking Chester, held by the
Saxons and some Gallic auxiliaries.
After adopting stoning and boiling
watet in vain .against the besiegers,
the Saxons threw down all the bee-
hives in the town map] the attackers,
who were soon routed.

SOME COMMON CAUSES OF HEADACHE
By EMMA GARY WALLACE.
Headache is not only distressing
and. annoying, but.if the cause is not
removed, it may itidicate a serious
condition. If headaches persist even
in spit of properregulations of
one's habits, medical advice should
be sought -without delay, for time is
valuable in preventing small consti-
tutional troubles becoming large
ones.
Many people suffer frequently,
however, from headaches which can
be avoided with a little care. When
the nice weather of the summer time
comes, the family car is sure to be
brought into frequent reaprisition. Ae
a rule, tile men folks like to ride with
the cover clown, while the women of
the family eomplain that this gives
them a headache. This is true. The
men are accustomed to being out of
doefis in the sunlight more, and so
their eyes are focused to the brighter
light, whereas women who are in-
doors malt of the time aeon feel the
rerain which expresses itself in
smarting of the eyes and headache.
TO please everyone tops come
which only shade the rear seat, or if
an 'extra top is -impossible, a pair of
goggles and a cap with a visor are
much better than a throblaing head-
ache. In very Warm, weather it is
better, however, for all concerned, to
use the top to prevent the sun boat-

Many' people are troubled evith a
headache upon first awakening, and
especially if they, spring quickly out
of bed. To prevent this, awaken
thoroughly, taking at Meat five min-
utes to do so. • It will be time saved

that investigation was promptly
made. The netve in the tooth had

that the open sore over the eye had

are also the chores, and farmers are
coming to realize more and more that

chorth, that ts, where 'folks perailit
in doing them in the old way.
• In the field modern machinery is
employed to save time and labor and
to make Possible short elite, so that
fewer hands can do the work and
keep the farm production up to the
standard that haeabeen` set for it.
Why isn't it just as reasonable to
employ sheet cuts atjeat the barn, in
the chore work 05 in the regular farm
work hi the field's?
A great limey farmers are coining.
to decide that it is, and your up-to-
date fernier is using modern equip-
ment about the farm buildings jUS.11
as he ie using modern. equipmentin
the field work. One of the most im-
portant of the time and labor saving
forces he is using to -day is electric-
ity. Generally he gets it from one
of these small, indiaidu.al electric
plants that can be installed in the
tool house oe garage, or in any other
convenient place about the premises.
This electricity he uses to light his
home, first of all, of course. Then if
he And his hands are to work efiee-
tively, he will light hes barns ande
stables and the surrounding ayards.i.
Most 93 the chores in certain seasens
e,re done after dark, by aid of a
lanterre More of them would be
done after dark if bright electric
light' were provided and that much
more time would be saved for work
in 'the fields. "
Then the farmer with electricity
will use electric power to save steps,
save work and save time. He will,
use electricity to puthp the water.
He will have this water stored under
pressure co that it is forced to the
faucets, either at the house oe. barn,
and no pumping or carrying is neces-
sary. If there are many cows to milk
he will run the milking machine weth
an electric motor, and the ,arm boy'
who otherwise would be tempted to
leave the f erne to escape an uncon-
genial job will be satisfied to stay
and supervise so interesting an op-
eration as milking by /mechanical
means. Then this electnic power the
farmer will use to turn his grind-
stone, the corn shelter or grinder,
the clippers. for clipping horses,
for cleaning seed, for a dozen
different uses that will suggest them-
selves wherever electricity is avail-
able. , •
