Minister Says.

Spokane, Wash Every member
gained by the Methodist Episcopal
church In 1910 represented an expend-
iture Of $1,000 and a property invest
ment OF $1,000" declared Rev. DR.. e.
Blake of Chicago in an address before
a Sunday school convention Of the Co
lunbia River conference In Spokane
"The Methodist Episcopal church Is
facing a serious situation" Doctor
Blake added THE net gain ii mem
bers was only 1887 In 1910, an In
crease Of about IL per cent. This con-
vinces me that the old methods Of
evangelism are not producing results.
We have never had more eVangelists
than now and they have never accom-.
plished so little. The weakness of
modern evangelism Is that It makes
its main appeal to adults, when 1t Is
a matter Of fact that IS per cent OF
ell conversions are under eighteen
years of age. The church must make
its appeal to youth and the earlier
this is made the better the result Will
be for the church"

RATLEss DAY IN INDIANA

One of the most unique celebrations
recently was held in Hope, Ind The
day was characterized as .'ratless
day" and the campaign was conducted
by High school girls
Like nearly all American lassies,
the Hope school girls had fallen vic.
tins to the hair rat. The village
school authorities begged them to. at
tend classes for at least one day with
out their artificial coiffures The girls
accepted the invitation for the novelty
of the affair
There was CONSERVATION, however,
when the girls assembled s'ratless."
tRatless day proved to be great
success, or at least the teachers
thought so. The teachers believed
there would be fewer headaches re
ported and that better grades would
result at the end of the year if the
rats" were abandoned. But the very
next day the girls were In their seats
with rats-big and little.
The school authorities have not en-.
tirely given up hope.

rants, choose the humble hog to pro.
vide the piece de resistance most oft
en-.
The trenchermen OF the United States
consume 4,483,000 more hogs than any
other class Of animals slaughtered for
the table. Figures for 1909 show that
&c, $4,000 hogs were killed for food.
while 31,930,000 beeves, calves, sheep,
lambs, goats, kids, etc. were sent to
market
This put the porker in a class by
himself as an article of food. 1t is de-
clared by the experts that hog meat"
is more versatile than any other form
Of fresh food. From plain, honely
bacon through various DISCUSSES as
veal, turkey, chicken, and on into the
subtle "suey" the meat Of the hog
performs It's vast service for hungry
humans more often than any other.
During 1909 the total number OF
animals slaughtered for food was 3d.
100000, but the census bureau makes
1t plain that this big number Is not
final, and that II the private establish
ments were accounted for the total
would be much greater. Greatest OF
the killers for food are the packers.

come from 26,424 plants.

FARM LEAGUES in GERMANY
Promote interests of Farmers, Espe-
cial!y in Buying and Selling of
Products and Merchandise.
BY a. w. TH AcK ARA

| During the latter half of the nine
teenth century associations formed
among the agricultural classes OF
Germany did much to promote scien.
t1hc farming and in more recent years
they have extended their influence
with the advancement of technology.
When the German farmer came to
recognize that he was separated from
the center Of social life and from his
associates in the same vocation, that
he must remain in touch with the
scientific and economic activity of the
country in order to share in the
progress made. he found that agricul-
tural organizations were the means
by which to attain his object Conse.
quently a large number of co-opera-
tive associations sprang up through.
out Germany, which in addition to the
former idea1istic purpose Of agricul-
tural unions have the further object
OF promoting the interest of the farm
er. especially in the buying and sell
Ing Of products and merchandise.
These local societies have united into
branch societies, circuit and district
societies, which form the basis or
nucleus Of the two general German
agricultural organizations OF the pres
emit time.
The function of the great organfza.i
tons is much broader than merely for
the purpose Of collective bargaining
IN the sale of farm products, etc, for
IN each division there are scientific
experts who, upon application and
upon the payment of fee, visit the
farms Of the different members and
advise with7them concerning the cul.
tiVation of their growing crops and
the care of their live stock. For in.
stance, an expert forester investigates
the forests Of the mem bers, another
examines the growing potato field or
the dairy. Il anything needs correct
Ing, these experts suggest the proper
remedy. Furthermore, If particular
field does not produce as 1t should. a
sample Of the soil may be sent to the
laboratories Of the organization,
where 1t is tested and the member IL
informed how he should properly fer
tilize the field.
These leagues have proven effective
In aiding the membership financially,
the loans aggregating over $500, O00,.
600; in improved crop culture through
experts, In selling farm prod
ucts, and in purchasing supplies
which amount to many million dol
lars annually.
