GEORGE WASHINGTON.

ness strikes a vibrant chord in
the hearts of millions of his
countrymen this week as they
commemorate the 179 annivers-
airy of his birth. That was his
unselfishness.
In this age of commerciahsm,
with its lust for money, it's greed
for material power and social
prestige, it is difficult to imagine
a man, so free of personal vanity
and love of self exaltation as to
feel an honest sense of resent
ment in the suggestion of his adj
mirers that he turn to his in
dividual advantage the triumphs
of the heroic little army he did
so much to keep together and de-
clare himself King of the Ameri-
can colonies. To many the SER
vile, absequient manner assumed
toward the nobility of other
countries nowadays by any
Americans, who bow to the fetch
of royalty like the tories of old
and who appear to be ashamed
of their democratic heritage
must seem the survival of that
snobbish spirit in the land to
which the decision of Washing
ton to keep faith with the people,
brought such keen disappoint-
ment.
By his waiver of all salary due
him for his eight years service as
Commander in chief of the Con-
tinental Army, his insistence
that he be allow ed to retire to
private life at the end of his
second term as President and his
refusal to accept for himself or
his collateral decendents any
other honor than the abiding con-
fidence and esteem of his appre-
ciative countrymen he set his fei-
low countrymen an example in
.unselfshness which they might
contemplate with profit to them
selves and their country on this
anniversary.
To him the respect of his fell
low man was worth more than
the f1imsy splendor of a crown or
the emoluments of an office for
the establishment of which his
countrymen poured forth their
blood and offered up their lives
on a hundred battlefelds from
Lexington to Yorktown. Studi-
ously avoiding all alliance with
foreign nations against which he
warned US. we have left them
to sap their vitality preparing
for war while we have assidu-
ously cultivated the arts of peace.
With our hands outstretched
across Che seas we have invited
the healthy and the strong of the
old world to make their home
with US and help us develop and
make fruitful the vast heritage
he bequethed US. Winding our
own business and untroubled by
the concerns of our neighbors,
with a pleasant word and a
friendly smile for all, we have
kept steadfastly to the task to
which Washington enjoined us
to stick and have reared the
greatest and most prosperous in
dustrial empire upon which the
sun has ever shone. We feed
the world with our wheat and
our corn, keep it in profitable
employment with our machinery,
and clothe it with our cotton,
thanks to Eli Whitney's cottor
gin, the only great labor saving
invention of his countrymen he
lived to see applied to use. W.

While the manure from an average
dairy COW is worth from $1S to $32 a
year. provided the manure il used so
as to realize it's maximum value. this
fact should not encourage any dairy
man in the keeping of animals which
are little more than manure deposit
tors. Better by all odds get cows which
will make just as much fertilizer and
at the same time give return in milk
and cream which will leave a good
margin of profit on hand after their
feed bill has been paid.

AS the silo comes more and more
into use in the corn belt primarily for
the purpose of providing succulent
ration for the dairy cows an increased
interest is being taken in the use of
silage as Il fattening ration for feed
ing animals. particularly beeves. If
good clover or alfalfa hay is available
it will serve to balance the silage
and corn which are fed. If not to be
had the protein element should be pro-
vided in the shape of oil or cottonseed
meal. which should be gradually in
creased in amount until mature ami

GOOD USE FOR DISK HARROW

II Is plOwed. The mulch OF dirt breaks
up capillary attraction so that mols.
ture cannot escape from the top OF the

there is in the ground to come close

Fig, No, is the disked surface
shown in Fig plowed. Dlsklng the
ground before II is plowed leaves a
mulch of fine dirt which fills up the
