Far of at the AntipOdes, in a new and cOmpar-
atively small country New Zealand, they are grap-
pling with this problem. There the State does some
thing for It's people beyond merely taxing them to
support tav.eaters. And New Zealand, young as it
is ranks next to the United States in the volume Of
its life insurance In one respect it leads. For its
citizens, 1.-THE time Of the last publishedrepOrts
the average life insurance per capita was $l25, as
against 500 in he United States. But the average
policy in New Zealand was then s2S8, as against
$685. IN this country In other words tue New Zea-
land insurance companies tap lower financial stra-
tum than the United companies. Yet an insurance
paper OF New YOlk-the MOnitOr-says that ''the in
habtants Of New Zealand carry more life insurance
in proportion to their numbers than the people OF
any other nation on the GLOBE"
Now, some years ago the authorities In New Zealand
concluded that there was no intelligent reason why
their people, who are thrifty and saving should be
paying, year after year. premiums on their
life insurap to private companies that took
the money out Of the colony So they established
an insurance department OF the State This depart
ment is run as il it we're business enterprise. It
has its solicitors and it adverses and struggles to
to get business The State does not use its power to
prevent lthe private companies from competing with
it as, for instance, we do with our Post Office De-
partment. But for several years the private com
panies did drop out Of business The funds paid by
the policy holders into the State insurance Depart
ment are invested in the securities of the colony or
municipality, or loaned real estate. That is to
say, the money paid is used to benefit the country
and to promote general prosperity It is not used to
bolster the stock Of railroad companies TO UNDER
write the bonds Of swindling trusts.

to two aud a half year old steers, fed
under all conditions, from merely
being wintered to full fed, show that a
bushel Of ccrn worth 80 cents, when
fed with the best quality OF timothy
hay, millet or sorghum, is worth from
SO cents to 40 cents when fed with
clover, alfalfa or COW peas. This is
due to the fact that these plants
supply a very important ingredient In
which corn is deficient. Hay made
from timothy, millet or sorghum is
more deficient in this element than
corn, and makes the ration even more
one-sided or unbalanced.
"Of course, farmers had better
raise clover hay than to buy it, for
while growing it improves the
fertility of the farm, a taing which
cannot DO SAID Of timothy. There is
no single way in which the farmers of
Missouri can so readily improve the
quality of their soil and increase their
income as by devoting larger areas to
clover, oowpeas, or alfalfa, and making
a larger use of these crops in the
ordinary oattle-feeding operations.
