John Hays HammOnd'S "DOn't'S" On
Mining.

John Hays Hammond, the expert
mining engineer, enjoined ten
'don't's" upon the finance class at
the West Side, New York, Y. NJ. CA.
Don't put money into a mining
property because a friend has been
fortunate in mining stocks.
Don't be deferred from a mining in
vestment because some other friend
became bankrupt through that
means.
Don't allow any slick, dishonest
man-not to employ the shorter and
uglier word-to convince you that
you, successful in your own line, are
therefore competent to Judge the
value of a mine.
Don't be influenced by rich "speci-
mems" that a mine has produced.
AS John Gashweller said, ''You might
as well show me hair from horse
tail and ask me how fast he can
trot.'
Don't buy just because the mine is
in far off country.
DONE buy simply because it ad-
joins good mine.
Don't buy without an unqualified
favorable report by a mining expert
of integrity, ability and experience.
Don't buy unless you are sure the
directors are honest and competent.
Don't abandon all common sense
just because the subject of invest
ment happens to be mining.
He ADVOCATED drastic legislation"
to compel mining companies, before
1otation of stock, to publish the
price at which the property was ac-
quired, the amount of the promoters
commission, and full monthly reports
showing financial status, ore reserves
l-etc.
He even thought, he said, that
''such companies ought to be com
PEELED to print skull and crossbones
on their prospectuses, as is done on
poison labels.
He revised Mark Twain's definition
of IA mine-"a hole in the ground
owned by a liar"-declaring it now
ddays ought to read: ga hole in the
ground sold by a lying promoter to a
stupid investor"
In the Transvaal, he declared, it
cost about 81 so to take out 81 in
gold. This included 1.-The expense of
the guinea pig directors in London. :"

lacking Up the Tired System Without
Usirs StimuIants.
II efforts TO keep AT work are con.
tiuued in spite Of fatigue the quality
of the work is poor and the exhaustion
inordinate. Students constantly make
this error and do all sorts Of things
to keep awake TO burn the midnight
oil when IL they would go 10 bed and
rest they could accomplish far more
in half the time in the morning with
little or no fatigue.
Yet there are times when sleep!ness
and fatigue must be overcome without
resort to stimulants which ihjure the
Judgment. The tired physician with
n critical case. for instance, must have
his wits about him. and ii will aid him
vastly to go to an open window every
fifteen or thirty minutes to take
dozen or two deep inspirations Of cold
air. His exhaustion In the end will be
great, but he can make 1t up later.
As a matter Of fact. surgeons and
others whose work requires the keen
est perceptions instinctively choose the
early morning for their best Efforts
reserving the afternoon for low
pressure tasks or recreation. That
is, It is far better to so live that we do
not need the stimulus of these extraor-
binary methods OF respiradon.-Amer-

More Money from the Same Cows.

Dairymen who are weighing the milk
from each cow every day find that their
returns are much larger than formerly
when they followed the old custom of
guessing at the amount in the pail, froth
and all. 1t takes but few seconds
time to weigh the milk and make a
record of it, il convenient scales and
blanks are at hand. The most con-
venient scale is a spring balance, weigh
ing to sixty pounds by tenths, having an
adjustable hand which may be set to
balance the weight of the empty pail.
The record sheets need to be convenient
and have sufficient space for the figures.
The Dairy Division of the Maine Depart
ment of Agriculture has had so many
calls for blanks, they have had some
printed to be furnished to Maine dairy
men on application, the only condition
being that at the end Of the weighing
year the monthly totals for each COW
shall be copied on a special blank fur
nished by the department, and sent into
the office at Augusta. Maine dairymen
desiring these blanks may obtain appli-
cation cards for them by addressing

State Dairy Instructor,
Augusta, Maine.
