WASTE ON THE
FARM

From authoritative reports by gov.
ernment officials 1t appears that some
2,687,021 cattle die in the United
States annually from disease and ex
posure, most of them from neglect.
From the same source 1t is also as.
certained that the loss Of sheep from
the same causes is as great.
These figures only serve to show
what a wasteful people we are. One
Of the excuses the beef trust makes
for high prices of provisions is the
enormous death rate of live stock on
the range and on the farm, most Of
it due to pure triilingness of the herds.
men and the grazer. Indeed. the losses
for highly neglect and exposure great.
ly exceed the losses by disease.
1t would be impossible to estimate
the waste of farm products after they
mature in the field, but it is enormous
some of 1t traceable to thriftless
husbandry or, in plain speeches down
right laziness. One source of waste
Is imperfect cultivation, for millions
of farmers persist in half cultivation,
Of large areas when they would make
more by Proper tillage of fewer acres.
Then there is immense waste in the
disregard of intelligent rotation OF
crops. This is the worst sort Of waste
for it means devastation of soils that
require years of provident tillage to
replace. All over the East are aban.
doned farms that would to-day be gar.
dens If, they had been given intelli-
gent cultivation. That farmer is not
| fit for his vocation who does not in
crease the fertility of his soil every
| year he cultivates it.

WOMAN, LOVELY
WOMAN,

Her waist begins just below her
neck. Her hips have been planed off
even with the rest of her body. She
is usually buttoned up the back, and
around her neck she wears a section
of barbed wire covered with lace. She
wears on her head blond haystack
of hair and on top Of this central
dome with rings about the same size
as those of Saturn. She is sawthed
in ler gown like an Indian papoose.
and on the end of her feet are dabs
of patent leather. She walks on stilt-
like heels with the expertness of a
tight-rope dancer. The pores of her
skin are full of fine white powder.
This is a woman.
