City to Vote on License Question.
1t was announced Friday that the
selectmen of Putnam would insert
clause in the warning of the annual
town meeting calling for vote on the
license question as asked for in the
petition which is claimed as somewhat
Irregular by the license men. The Sc
lectmen have been advised by excellent
legal authority that the course they
have decided upon is a proper one. So
Putnam will probably vote on the Ii
cense question, after all.

DAIRYING CONsERvES SOIL FER.
TILITY.

A Ton of Corn Contains $3.50 Worth
OF Plant Food, Ton of Butter
Only 80 Cents Worth.
In the densely populated countries
OF Europe dairying is the chief
branch of agriculture because it has
been found by actual experience
that this branch of farming will
furnish the greatest amount of nu-
trients to supply humanity for the
least amount of loss. Lands that
were abandoned in European coun-
tries centuries ago have been made
fertile again by dairy farming. We
have illustrations in America where
farms in the Atlantic States, which
have been abandoned because of I'M
productiveness, have been taken up
again recently, and with good dairy
farming made as productive as they
were in their original state.
1t has been ascertained that ap-
proximately 1886 worth of fertility
is removed from the soil with the
sale OF every ton of wheat, while
with every of corn that is sold, ap-
proximately $3.50 worth of fertility
is lost to the soil; but in the case
OF dairying, where butter is made
and where all Of the by-products are
fed to the pigs and calves, it Is
found that only So cents worth of
fertility is removed with each ton
OF butter sold. The commercial
value Of ton Of wheat at IS cents
bushel is approximately $24.75.
The commercial value of a ton of
butter at Is cents a pound is $500.
For each 800 worth Of wheat that
Is sold from the soil $3.50 worth
of fertility is taken OF the
farm. but for every 800 worth of
butter that is sold only z cents
worth of fertility is removed from
tho soil.
This vast difference between
wheat farming and dairy is explain
ed in this way: Suppose a cow is
fed ration of cowpea hay and corn,
both OF which have been raised on
the farm. The cow assimilates ap-
proximately 10 per cent of the fer
tilizing elements, the remaining 90
per cent going back to the farm in
the shape Of manure. OF the 10 per
cent Of fertilizing elements that are
removed by the COW, about three
fourths go to make milk and one
fourth goes to the maintenance of
the body. In the case where butter
Is made on the farm and the milk is
separated, its analysis shows that
80 per cent Of the fertilizing ele-
ments OF the whole milk is found in
tho skim milk; hence, cream and
butter remove about 10 per cent of
the whole amount. The skim milk
Is returned to the farmer and fed
to the pigs and calves. These util-
ize part Of the material for building
up the body and the unassimilated
part passes on to fertilize the soil.

The Kind Of Dairymen the South
Needs.
We are not anxious that more
bankers, merchants, professional
men and city farmers establish
diaries on farms of which they are
non-residents; but we would like to
see a much larger number of our
young farmers. who are living and
working on their farms, go into the
dairy business as branch Of their
regular family operations. These
are the men who will succeed and
stay in the business, and finally
build up profitable herds of dairy
cattle. The dairy COW is the cheap
est animal producer of human food
and the greatest soil improver, and
we should have more of her.

when an Indiana company of farm
ers buys 1000 acres of farm lands
in the southwestern corner of the
State, and another company $4,000
acres in the southeastern corner. and
when another company buys 100. 900

two more aristocrats own 100000
acres in Mississippi, and a little

the people who are going to own our
farm land in another generation or
two will be people of sense, not
necessarily people OF heart. The
man OF sense will own all our South

we shall have a vast multitude of
people scrambling for a footing
upon land just as in other countries
OF the world; and then we shall
have all the problems that educa-
ton. religion, and statesmanship can
deal with to the end OF time. It
ought to be increasingly Numbered

And II is safe to say they will never
do 1t as a great class until they get
the necessary understanding Of the
profound drift OF things to-day in
American life.
AS long as the farm owners in
the South find more difficulty In get

In renting land. Just so long are we
reasonably free. here and there,
from the devilish destructiveness of
competitive tenant rents; just so
long will the land owner be willing
TO sell and move out Of his difficul-
ties. and to sell at a reasonable price
to the people who have little money
but a great ambition to own little
farms OF their own.
But when in the general increase
OF population the scrambling for
land runs up land values and rents
as In other countries, then the eco

come for the great masses OF the
people who ought to own land and
live on It. but who have let their

ARABIC CUSS WORDS
ON DEPOT

BGRLINGAME, Cal, April e.
Burlingame awoke to a horrifying
realization today that the Arabic
characters craven over the portals
of the Southern Pacific depot here
are signs for the deepest "cuss'
words in the Arabic tongue. tor
several years the Arabesques have
been admired as samples of the
sculptor's art and were regarded as
gracefully expressing Bedouin
welcome TO the jaded traveller who
had crossed the desert sands to the
Burlingame oasis or as a Godspeed
to the "blingum" devotee on his
way to Mecca California;.
The secret was revealed today
when a real Arab alighted from a
train, turned backward flip-flap
when he glimpsed at the decora-
tive scrolls and called for water.
The inscriptions were nothing more
or less than imprecations and male
dictions cast upon the Southern Pa
cific for its niggardliness in refus-
ing a railroad pass to George How
ard, architect of the attractive
depot.
Howard is quoted by friends as
saying that he 'graved the cussful
symbols after he had been curly
turned down by the railroad.

WHAT THE WEATHER
MAN SAYS TODAY

The western center of low pres
sure is still over western Canada,
with increased energy, and the
eastern storm center has advanced
from Missouri to eastern Ontario;
this has caused generally light pre-
cipitation from the north Pacific
coast to the northern part of the
Rockies and in the upper Missis-
sippi and Ohio valleys. An area of
high pressure extends from Kansas
to the western Gulf coast and high
pressure is on the north Pacific
coast. Reports of fair weather dur
ing the last "a hours have been re-
ceived from most places. Decidedly
higher temperatures were reported
over the greater part of the Rock
les, but from the eastern slope to
near the Atlantic decidedly lower
temperatures prevail. along the
coast there is prevalence of
higher temperatures. From the Pa
cific to the Rockies temperatures
are about normal. Fair and cooler
weather with light frost is expected
tonight in this vicinity. and fair
and warmer Thursday.
