OLD FASHIONED FAMILY PEW
IN That Rested the Strength Of the
Church, and II Should Be
Restored.

One sometimes hears a deal of non.
sense about the danger of creating n
prejudice against religion in the mind
of a child by making him attend
church once a week The danger
would seem to be about one-tenth as
great as that of arousing a prejudice
against education by sending him to
school twice day In both cases the
remedy lies in the good sense of the
parents and their estimate OF the
value OF religion and education care.
fully instilled into the child's mind
The strength of the church has been
in the old-fashioned pew. with father
at one end and mother at the other
and stairway OF more or less restless
children. From that pew have gone
out the upright, devout. consecrated
men and women who have loved the
church and maintained her worship
and done her work N their several
generations For the sake OF tie
church. and especially for the sake of
the children. let II be restored.
II It be impossible for the children
to attend both Sunday school and the
church service. this writer would by
all means teach them the catechism
at home and bring them to church
that they may learn TO worship God in

Mr.. Claude Grahame- White. the IA

TAM: GULLs OF SHETLAND
Each Family In Lerwick Has Its Own
Flock Which the Children
Feed.

There re many smaIi villages in
the world that have only one street:
but Lerwick. IN Shetland. besides hav-
ing only a single street possesses only
one tree, and IL is not very tall one
either. There are no land birds there,
not even a sparrow; but the sea gulls
are plentiful
The inhabitants OF Shetland are
very proud OF their tree and very kind
to the gulls. of whom the children
make pets Children who are brought
for the first time to see the wonders
Of one-streeted Lerwick are always
shown. as a great curiosity. the only
tree in Shetland"
The sea gulls are the sparrows OF
Lerwick: and as such they have q
greater share in the towns life than
the sparrows OF London. In the
morning you will note that a sea guilt
sits on every chimney pot Sea gulls
swoop and hover over every roof In
town. The air Is full OF their strange.
high. plaintive. haunting cries,
Every house has Its own familiar
sea gulls and every street its own
band OF them. But, according TO the
Fruit Magazine. they never mix The
children in each house have pet
name for their own particular sea
gulis; and. having called them by
those names. they feed them every
day.
Each sea gull knows what is meant
for him. No bird attached to one
house ever seeks TO eat the food scat
tered from the house next door. He
does not dare to do so. So all day
long the sea gulls hover and call over
the roofs OF Lerwick.

is GREATEST DAIRY STATE
Former Governor W. D. Hoard Re-
views History of Industry in Wis
consin at Milwaukee Show.

Former Governor w. d. Hoard of
Fort Atkinson. at the opening of the
international Dairy Show in Milwau-
kee on October 10, said:
THE International Dairy show is
essentially and emphatically a Mil
wauSee and Wisconsin institution in
that it originates in the great fact
that Wisconsin is the leading dairy
state in the country with an output
of nearly $1O0,000.O00, and an an
nual dairy investment of between
$10,000,000 and 100000.
All this has been accomplished.
SO far as the growth of the industry
is concerned, In the last forty years.
In 1870. / commenced the agitation
for the dairy industry In my little
paper, the Jefferson County Union.
/ organized the Wisconsin Dairy
mems association in 1872. The first
meeting In response to my call was
attended by seven men only. What
a contrast between the sowing of that
feeble seed and the audience of over
5000 gathered in your Auditorium
tonight
The dairy industry is one OF the
live forces of Wisconsin agriculture.
II reaches into almost every farm
neighborhood And still only one
half of the area OF The state is in the
hands of farmers. When the great
unsettled wilderness In the north,
which is especially adapted to dairy
farming, the greatest grass portion
of the United States is brought into
recognition, Il is hard TO conceive
where the industry will stand
II am exceedingly encouraged with
the outlook of the exposition. II ex-
ceeds in point of attendance anything
similar in the history OF the world,
and the management, filled with pa
triotie devotion TO the honor and
glory of Milwaukee has shown con
summate ability IN planning and pre-
pairing It, Some Of the finest cattle
OF the continent have been brought
here as an object esson TO Wiscon-
sin breeders.
The people Of Milwaukee. who as
yet hardly understand the great d.
etetic and economic value TO them as
consumers of Wisconsin dairy prod
ucts, can here get In an evenings
visit concrete oppression of what
this marvellous industry means 70

1T only remains for the people OF
Milwaukee to rally about this dairy
show and give It generous financial
support to make # the greatest and

phorus and the potash must BE- pur-
chased. He must know something
about these important elements, and
he must accept it as one of the fixed
expenses of the farm that these ele-
ments, as well as lime, must be
yearly supplies.
Certain forms of dairying, like
milk shipping, cheese making and
condensing, are wasteful of fertility,
unless the farmer guards against
such loss by artificially supplying the
lime, phosphate and potash. II was
largely through this taking of the
whole milk from the farm without
adequate making up OF the loss. that
so many farms in the eastern states
became depleted of their fertility.
Wherever butter dairying was car
ried on, and consequently the skim
milk was used to grow calves and
pigs, the live stock complement of
the farm was kept up and the man
ure supply greatly enhanced. Such
sections like Delaware county, New
York, has suffered much less in the
depletion OF the soil in the past fifty
years, than did Herkimer, st. Law
renee, Madison, Oneida and other of
the cheese making counties of that
state.
The same depicting process has
been going on in New England, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania. Ohio, and far
Their west The wonderful growth of
villages and cities calls for an enor-
nous consumption of dairy products.
This means taking the whole milk
from the farm in large degree and
thereby greatly reduces the growing
of live stock. We well remember six
" years ago how that cent al New
York produced great crops of clover
and a large supply of cattle, hogs and
sheep The tops of the hills were
kept covered with the splendid for
ests that characterized that state.
The springs and small streams were
by that means maintained and we
fished for trout in brooks that have
not known a trout for the past thirty
years and which are dry most of the
year. All this has been changed and
sadly so for the worse. Had the
farmers kept the tops of the hills
covered with trees il would have con-
served the water supply and helped
maintain the side hill pastures.
These are some of the paramount
problems of the day and hour that
confront the dairy farmer. The trou-
BILE is that here as well as elsewhere
in this broad field of agriculture, ig-
noranee has held sway. I'VE all like
sheep have gone astray." The wise,
live teachers of agriculture are be-
coming more obsessed every day with
the thought that If the future mill
lions of this country are fed, the
American farmer must wake up, and
that right soon, to the fearful mis-
takes he has been making through
his ignorance and Indifference in de-
stroying the productive capacity OF
his land.
Every man, woman and child in
the nation is vitality interested in the
promotion of conserving intelligence
among the farmers of this country.

An Address Before the National Conservation Congress
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1911-10-05
Current Comment
Time to Investigate.

The address of Frederick l.. Hoffman,
statistician Of the Prudential Insurance
company of America, delivered at the
recent annual meeting of Vermont health
officers and published in The Messenger
to-day, contains some very interesting
facts relating TO vital statistics in Yer
mont.
For instance, il will probably be a
great surprise to many people to learn
that the percentage of deaths of ner-
vous diseases in this simple little old
fashioned rural state OF Vermont is
higher than it is in the turmoil and
rush and excitement Of that great Baby
Ion of New York City. One might be
inclined to believe, also, that the high
pressure of living in the metropolis
would be responsible for more deaths
from circulatory diseases than in our
pastoral Green Mountain state, but such
is not the case. He shows too that
out in what is called Gods country
the deaths from typhoid fever are in
higher percentage of the total than
they are in New York City. But he
does not tell why this is so. As a
matter of fact, it is the duty of every
health officer in the state OF Vermont
to make it his duty to find out why
it is so. These and many other in
teresting comparisons the speaker brings
out in his instructive address.
Among the interesting things devel-
oped by Mr. Hoffman is the fact that

THAT VAIL PROPOSITION

The Barre Times uses about eight
inches of valuable editorial space in vir-
tual disapproval OF sending Theodore N,
Vail of Lyndonville as delegate at
large to the Republican national conven-
ton. The burden of the contemporaries
criticism is that Mr.. Vail, from the
nature of his interests, cannot duly and
truly represent Vermont. With the
chief business of the national convention
confined to the denomination OF Presi-
dent Taft, the criticism will appeal to
most Vermonters as rather far-fetehed.
The clannish spirit that The Times
voices is hardly elemental to the sort
OF progress of which The Times itself is
frst-class example-Rutland News.
In disappearing the proposal to send
T. N. Vail from Vermont to the Repub-
lican national convention, The Times
expected to be accused of just that which
the contemporary gives voice to, but we
did not know from which corner the
accusation would break out. 1t is an
old cry which the contemporary REEVES
