The Gold Brick Game Reversed.

The Gold-B Brick Game Reversed.
The Department of Agriculture
takes note of the interesting fact
that selling gold bricks to farmer
is a decaying industry, and the
balance of trade between city
and country in that line has been
reversed. The farmer who would
pay a hundred dollars cash to an
engaging stranger for a war
ranty deed to the Flatiron build
ing has become so rare that it is
not worth j. Rufus WallingfOrd's
time to hunt for him. The suck
ers are more plentiful in the OPP
posite Overwhelmingly, among
those to the Flatiron building
born. If you wish to swindle,
nowadays, don't look for hay
seeds, but insert in the Sunday
edition of your favOrite yellow
newspaper something like this:
Back to the land! Raise goose
berriesl GOOseberrieS are sure to
bring you a hundred dollars an
acre, net, with only light, health

original gold-brick game, for ii

wholesome and poetic desire. But

The Cost of a Steak.

Secretary Wilson's investiga-
ton into high price of meats dis
closed some interesting facts. For
one thing, it showed that the diff
ference between the wholesale
price of beef and the price paid
by the consumer is 80 per cent. 1t
is pointed out that this great diff
ference does not represent excess
sive profits for the retailer, since
a large portion of it goes to pay
the extra expenses attached to
the special delivery of meats. See
rotary Wilson does say, however,
that:
Much more productive of cost
illness to the retail distribution of
meat is the overriding of the re-
tail business. The multiplication
Of small shops is a burden to con-
sumers and no source of riches to
the small shopkeepers. When
twenty or more small shops divide
the retail business within the
area that could be served by one
large shop, the expenses of the
many shops for labor, horses, rent
and other things that are in ex-
cess of what would be sufficient
for the one shop must go into
the retail prices of the meat
sold"
Does this mean, Mr.. Secretary,
that the way to bring fresh meats
within reach Of the poeket-book
of the man of average income is
to "socialize" the retailing of
meat Or do you suggest that a
private monopoly be formed to
take over this class of business

question that goes deep into the
political economy Of the nation.

What of the New Year,

WudL VI the New year!
The beginning of the New Year
is the beginning of new plans.
With most of us it is an attempt
at least to begin new habits.
Every one turns over a new leaf.
1t matters not what the influences
or purposes may be, the new leaf
goes over January l, 1910.
To parents of sons and daught-
ers well on towards manhood and
womnhood, the pages of the new
leaf will not long remain blank.
First, there is a long list of re-
possibilities and obligations that
must be considered. Parents do
not shrink from obligations, but
rather rejoice at them if the OPP
Portunities are present to meet
them.
The State Normal School at
Warrensburg offers opportunities
to young men and young women
not surpassed anywhere. The ed
ucation offered in this school is
as thorough and complete as that
offered elsewhere and it has the
further advantage that it gives
preparation for a service that is
always in demand-that of teach
ing. Last year the Elementary
and high schools of Missouri gave
employment to 1920 men and
women. Every student from this
school who was ready to teach,
was in demand. There has not
been a week since September but
calls have been on file for teach
ers that the school has been I'M
able to fill.
The school is not only supply
ing teachers, but it is making
schools in all parts Of the state.
Our students go out as leaders;
they make school spirit and
strengthen educational sentiment.
They are builders; they contrib
ute to the State. The State has
nearly $500, 900 invested in this
school. The facilities are now the
very best. They are for the young
men and young women of the Sec
ond Normal District. We have en-
rolled TAB this year-one of the
largest enrollmentS the school has
had-the facilities are ample for
1000.
The Winter Quarter has just
started. January 4th will be a
good time to come and make a
good entry on the new leaf of the
family Year Book.
Futher information given, glad
ly. Address the Registrar, or
w. J. Hawkins, President.

BEST OF MILK MAKING FEEDS
Protein and Carbohydrates Are Two
General Divisions Into Which
Food Is Divided.

Because feed is watery is no proof
that 1t is a good feed for the making
of milk,

will accept for its making only GER
asserts H. A. Ritchie, in Farm Life.
The old idea that wet feed makes
lots of milk is exploded.
The best milk producing feed is that
which Is the most perfectly blanched
as to its constituents Protein and
carbohydrates are the two general di-
visions into which the food can be di-
vided, and the proper amount of each
must be fed.
There is no possibility of getting
away from the above fact, and every
new dairy feed that comes to the
front must prove its value because of
its intrinsic worth, on the above basis.

kHy foods we will ever have, because

digestibility when cut at the proper
stage.
The way this feed has come into
popular favor during the past 20
years shows something of its merit,
for these 20 years have comprised a
period more than any other in which
the intrinsic value of dairy feeds has
been challenged.
Alfalfa is even better than clover
as a milk producer, when it is fed in
the form of hay. When fed green it is
equally valuable, but some of the men
that buy milk for bottling and con,
densing purposes say that it gives a
strong flavor to the milk and they
discourage its use as a green forage

New York man, is one of the most
interesting. With it a hedge that
formerly required five hours to trim
can be clipped in one hour, or one
man can do the work Of five. This ap-
paratus consists of a long rod with
a shoulder piece at one end and a
pair of shears at the other. Along
this rod is a drivewheel connecting
with the rotary pinion, which operates
the crank controlling shears. The de-
vice is held against the shoulder, by
means of handle in the middle.
Then the drivewheel is turned, and by
means of the multiple gearing it opens
and closes the shears five times with
each revolution, thus making the ap-
paratus a saver of so per cent. in eth
er time or labor. All the operator
has to do is to keep turning the wheel
and moving the shears along the
hedgeroH where it needs clipping.

Adluncts to the Dairy Farm.

Those who make the highest sue
cess in dairying turn to either direct
or indirect money account butter-fat,
skim milk, calves and manure. All
of these are valuable, and the manure
is of more real value than most dairy
men make out of it. BY some, calves
are considered of no value. This is a
great mistake. Where pure-bred
stock is used, nearly all of the calves
can either be used or sold for breed
ing purposes. The demand for prom
ising heifers of. even grade stock is
very great. In all cases, good profit
can be made from calves by feeding
them skim milk and selling them for
veal. The extra weight put on them
in finishing them for veal represents
as much or more gain as can be Sc
cured by feeding the skim milk to
pigs.

FACTS ABOUT CENTURY PLANT
Blooms Once in Hundred Years, or
Any Other Time, and Then With
ers Away.

The century plant, so name1 be-
cause of the popular idea that it
blooms but once in 100 years, in one
sense makes good its name, for it
blooms only once, then dies" said H.
F. Warren of Los Angeles, Cal. He
continued:
In the genial climate of southern
California it reaches maturity and
blooms in Is or 20 years, while in
cooler climates the period may range
from 40 to 80 years. There are many
species of the agave family native to
northern Mexico, where it is called
the maguey. The plant furnishes
'pulque, the national drink of Mex
leo.
AT the time of the blooming the
plant throws up single stalk of rapid
growth to the height of IL to 30 feet,
from which the tassel-like flowers
sprout forth. This great flower stalk
draws all the sap and vigor from the
body of the plant, which soon withers
and dies. At the base of the thick
green leaves are found little suckers,
each with a root, which, when planted,
at once begin to grow. Tho edge
and end of the leaves are well armed
with stiff, sharp spines, the prick of
which is very painful This Is ma
ture's way of protecting the plant
from the ravages of desert rodents"

Paris Pattern No. 1880, All Seams
Allowed.-Made up in flowered blue
and white lawn, this little one-piece
dressing sack, or nightingale, is easy
to make, and one of the most con-
venient garments in a woman's ward
robe. The deep collar, fronts and
lower edges are trimmed with a wide
border of white lawn and the front
is held together with a narrow light
blue ribbon. This model is also
adaptable to any of the pretty bor-
dered foulards or organdies, or in
plain white lawn with border or col
ored lawn it is pretty and attractive.
The pattern is in three sizes-small,
medium and large. For medium size
the sacks require 1A yard of mate
rial 23 or more inches wide, with 2k
yards of contrasting material 20 or
more inches wide for bands and one
yard of ribbon for ties.
To procure this pattern send 10 cents
to Pattern Department" of this paper.
Write name and address plainly, and be
sure to give size and number of pattern.

Farmers Must Watch the cron

In order to determine what elements
of plant food are deficient in a soil,
1t is necessary to carefully study the
growing crop, Many farmers seem to
be of the opinion that chemical an
alysis of the soil will show the
amount of plant food contained there
in. This however, is mistaken idea.
The chemist can only determine ap-
proximately the amount of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash in soil,
without specifically showing what pro-
portion of these elements can be taken
up by the growing plant. A large per-
centage of these elements is not avail
able to plant food. Hence the neces-
sity for them in an available form. We
must turn, then, to the crop, and by
watching 1t closely during its growth
and by a careful examination when
matnred, see whether the soil Is def
Client in plant food and what elements
are lacking.

Feed for Full Flow of MiIk.

Cottonseed meal, flaxseed meal,
shoots, bran or other feeds rich in pro-
tein are necessary for full flow of
milk. Glover or alfalfa hay are rough
feeds rich in protein. Corn, rich in
starch, produces heat, energy and fat,
but little milk. Silage and green
roots furnish water and are good appe-
Tiers and promoters of general health
Tor winter feeding. Bran and fiaxseed
meal are good bowel regulators.
