From Old Hayseed.
The News -Record has received the
following letter from Mr, James
Stevens, who is visiting his daugh-
ter,, Mrs. W. Eaglesonof Aberdeen,

eighty years of age but it will be

Aberdeen, S. Dakota, ,
Sept. 3rd, 1918
Dear Sir,—Well I ani about 'thir-
teen hundred miles from home in as
fine a country as I ever saw, crops
splendid, threshing in --every direction
—no barns, wagons with box to - con-
tain about eighty bushels to draw
to the elevator. L interviewed a
thresher and he said : "I'm boss, .my
then know they must dd their hest
to keep things going." From Dight
to ten teams are drawing from shook,
a load each silo of machine which is
a double cylinder, two men pitching
from each load into cylinder as fast
as possible. The grain runs from top
instead of bottom into wagon box,
another waiting its turn, all on the
move. The thresher pays the tncn
forty-five cents an hour and board,
longest day possible, for which the
farmer pays, for wheat eighteen
cents per bushel, oats thirteen cents,
barley twelve cents. 11'eut out to
"Lincoln Ranch" yesterday, a ranch
containing 1750 acres of as fine a
crop as I ever saw. This ranch has
an elevator large enough to contain
18,000 bushels. The manager was
very obliging and could tell us every
thing about the cattle, its nanage-
ment and how many inches of rain
had fallen each day in summer mon-
ths the last three years. 1 saw at
one of the railway stations, of which
there are five in Aberdeen, a flock of
3000 sheep reshipped from Montana.
'19ie man told us this was only a
Part of his shipment. A man and
dogs drove the flock. Saw one dairy
stable 200 feet 'square containing 99
cows averaging in price from $100
to $500, a male beast 34,000, a calf
6 months old 3200. At Ertord there
are five brothers as English in
brogue as possible, condemn all milk-
ing machines. One said he could
milk forty on a pinch. They came
from England -fourteen years ago,
built their own barn themselves,
which, for convenience, was a model.
I thought if King George could see
the crops,- cattle, etc., here he would
smile with satisfaction. I went out
twenty miles Sunday to see a sick
friend and the threshing machines
were going full blast, I wondered if
they thought God was away on
vacation like the preachers, so they
would not be held to account. This
certainly is a beautiful city in its
youth, so few old buildings. There
seems no scarcity of paint, all look-
ing at their best. Every person is
interested in the liar, Hien of all
ranks interested are threshing. Three
preachers helped last week. There
are also lots of girls and women. A
man gave out the other day with the
heat and a girl took his place to
pitch bundles. They call it a "kept -
his -place." Right along men and
women get forty-five cents an hour
11 they , can fill it satisfactory. The
price of Wheat is 32.25 cents per
bus, at Minneapolis minus freight
and other expenses. I judge there is
a lot of wealth in this city.
It seems easier to make friends here
than in some countries, the rich and
poor meet on the same plane if they
are decent and straight, but if a
man is croolrwed, look out 1 Churches
so far have small attendance. There
seems to be a lot of get in every
one. No one seems to forget if they
have not met for several years.
Yours truly,
—JAS. STiVENS.
Canada:Food Board Says :
For ignoring the regulation which
calls for a reckoning for bad -eggs
purchased from producers or country
dealers, over and.: above an allow-,
ance of one percent. the William' Dav-
ies
avies Company and the , Matthews-
Blackwell Company, both- ..of Mon,
treal, have been forbidden- 'to buy,
sell or otherwise deal is eggs for 30
days. According to the regulations
in force since June 1st last, every
dealer placing eggs-in.cold.storageis-
required to furnish to the operator
of the warehouse, a 'statement in
writing certifying that such eggs
havebeen candled and that bad or
unsound eggs have been removed: No
licensee of the Canada hood Board
is permitted to pay, or demand pay-
ment for bad eggs in excess of an
allowed margin of one percent. on
the total amount of the transaction.
The object of the Canada Food
Board was to make the handling of
such eggs unprofitable for the dealer,
who is now obliged10 charge them
back against those from whom they
are originally purchased. In the case
of the two companies under suspen-
sion, it was found that no attempt
had been made to charge back for
unsound eggs in this way, although
the candling records showed per-
centages running as high as fourteen.
A1. firm in Charlottetown has been
disciplined in the same may for a
similar offence.
It was manifestly nothing but lair
that the public should not be called
upon to pay for bad eggs. If a deal-
er purchases bad eggs and pays for
them the least trouble for him would
be to say nothing about it after
finding the tact out by candling, but
Pass the eggs on into the channels
of trade, where the consumer would
eventually pay for the loss. Every-
body else who handled the eggs,
from the producer to the retail store-
keeper would thus have charged their
profits and expenses just the same.
l3y the order of the Canada I+hod
Board it is provided that ball eggs
be reported and charged hack to
their source of origin so that the
loss is borne by the parties re-
sponsible tor their delay in reach-
ing the marvet fresh. In these tim-
es of high prices for eggs and every
other food commodity, the consumer
is doubly entitled to fresh eggs
bought in good faith in the regular
way. Producers should be careful of
the stock they sell and dealers
should be watchful of the stock they
buy.
WI-IITII (.'ORN SYRUP FOR
CANNING
For home preserving the pure white
corn syrup gives the best results.
The. yellow or .golden corn syrup,
with which many people are familiar
as used onthe breakfast table, may
be employed in preserving, but it
has a distinctive flavor which makes
it less suitable than white corn
syrup. The fruit jar should be filled
with the prepared raw fruit, then
covered with syrup and finished off
in the usual way.
The Wintering of Vegetables
for Seed
One of. the simplest and most suc-
cessful -methods of wintering cabbage
is to place the plants side by side,
heads up, in a trench or Pit, the
top of the heads being about six in-
ches below the level of the ground,
the trench being refilled with soil
to the bottom of the heads. Put
about a foot of straw over the heads
and when cold weather sets
From six.
Septenibe
TO win this war every ounce of the
strength of each of the allied nations
must be put forth to meet the organized,
trained and 'disciplined efficiency of the Central
Powers—that . gigantic, ruthless force which is the result
of fifty years of planning and preparation.
And every ounce of every allied nation's strength is in
the hands and brains and hearts of the individuals of
each nation, because they are free peoples.
Now the individuals of each nation must live as well as
fight, therefore a proportion of the effort and material
of each nation must be diverted from war purposes to
living necessities,
So the less each individual takes for himself or herself
for personal use the more effort will there be left for
fighting and winning the war.
Every cent you spend represents that much effort be-
cause somebody must do something for you in order to
earn that cent—somebody's effort must be given to
you instead of to the war.
Therefore the less you spend—the less of somebody's
effort you take for your individual use—the more will
you leave in the national surplus for war effort.
The war can be won -only by the surplus strength of
the allied nations. The money each individual saves
represents that surplus strength.
So the truly loyal Canadian will use less, spend less,
and save more, to help to win the war.
