Cooperation of Every Friend
Is Requested by Editor
Nicholson.

The first issue of the new "Ameri-

pervision of the Friends Publication
board in this city, was issued today.
The paper Is to be published weekly.
The paper enters its field under con-
ditions that give great promise. 1t
contains sixteen pages.
The publication board stands united

encouraging and greatly appreciated.
More than 5000 copies of the paper

Editors Statement.
1t is universally known, perhaps that
after full consideration, the recent
Friends Five Years Meeting in session
at Indianapolis decided to authorize
the publication of a weekly periodical,
and ultimately other literature, by a
board Of publication This board, after
proper organization and incorporation
under the title of 'Friends Publicatio
Board" has acquired the property, sub
scription list and good will of the
American Friend, previously published
at Philadelphia by the American
Friend Publishing Company" and this
issue becomes Volume |, Number /,
new series, under the new manage
ment.
The action of the old Company,
which went out of existence with the
publication of last weeks issue, in
turning over the paper with all assets
without cost to the church, was most
magnanimous, and will be deeply ap-
preciated by all our membership.
The new management, after the full
est consideration, has decided to re-
tain the old name OF the paper 1t ex-
presses exactly an appropriate title,
characteristic of our continent-wide
activities and responsibilities, and for
the sake of the effect upon the old sub
scribers, was deemed most fitting.
The form Of the paper likewise has
been retained, partly for the sake of
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1912-12-31

uniformity in binding, and partly from
inability as yet TO determine upon any
other form as being preferable for a
permanent series.
The direct management of the peri
odical will fall upon the edntor and
manager, who is directly responsible
to the publication board, which in turn
is responsible to the Five Years Meet
ing which created it. That the man
agement cannot hope to succeed is
self-evident, unless it can have the
sympathetic cooperation and support
Of practically the entire membership.
The paper should find it's way into ev-
cry Friends home in America.
1t is the feeling of the editor that in
denominatiOnal periodical, within
proper bounds, limited only by the evil
dent purpose to build up the church
and advance the interests of the King
dom, the columns Of the paper should
be open to all members who have a
conviction upon live questions of con
Germ to the church, and who have an
intelligent opinion to express con-
corning it. This quite naturally can
not mean the liberty of unrestrained
expression, which would only provoke
controversy and schism. We are of
the opinion that contributors can bet
ter afford for the sake Of effectiveness
In their own utterances and even
more for the sake of the church as a
whole, to err If necessary upon the
side Of conservatism in expression
and tone. that to invite prolonged arg
uments upon non-essentials or upon
matters which involve mere differ
ences in Technology, by giving rein
to extreme announcements.

PROFITS OF PECAN GROWING
Some Of Failures Due to Lack OF
knowledge and Land Totally un-
suited to Growth Of Tree.

The reason for the recent interest
in pecan growing is that there is
widespread impression that the thou
sands of dollars sent out of this coun-
try every year for the purchase of
nuts might as we'll be kept at home,
This interest is stimulated by stories
as to the profits of pecan growing,
some of which are badly overdrawn.
1t must be said that the most Of
those who try to raise pecans do not
succeed. This is not to be wondered
at, as it is true of most new agricui-
tural enterprises. Some of these fail
ures are due to lack of knowledge;
some to lack of persistent interest;
but the most are owing to the. effort
being made on land and under condi-
tons totally unsuited to the growth
Of this tree.
The pecan tree is first cousin to
the hickory. 1t is found many hun
dreds Of miles farther south than the
hickory and in turn does not grow
nearly so far north. In Texas and the
other Gulf states we find the pecan at
its best. This refers both to the size
of trees and nuts. AS might have been
expected, it was In this favored sec
ton that the growing of pecans for
the market first started. These south
ern growers have made so much
money that it has excited the inter
est of us who are farther north to
see if Oklahoma cannot do equally
we'll
The first named sorts we're of
southern origin. Some of these have
been tried in Oklahoma and SO far as
the writer knows, all have been found
to be tender at least in the northern
and central part of the state. Others
may prove to be hardy but this ap-
pears doubtful. In Oklahoma as in
all other states which lie along the
northern part of the pecan habitat,
the successes Of the past have been
and probably those of the future will
be made with native trees. These we
are always sure are hardy and if they
are not equal to the best southern
sorts in size and thinness of the shell
Of the nuts, they are sufficiently good
so that the market will take them at
prices which pay the growers very
good profit.

RICHNESS or THE SOY BEAN
Seeds When Ground Into Meal May Be
Substituted for Equal Amount
of Linseed Oil.

One of the qualities of the soy bean
that commends it to the stock feeder
is its protein richness. The Virginia
experiment station has found that the
seeds when ground into meal may be
successfully substituted for equal
amounts of linseed meal in feeding
dairy cows.
The hay is also rich In protein, and
this is why it is extensively used in
eastern states for ensiliHg with corn,
as this combination will practically
produce balanced ration. A COM
parison between an acre of green cut
flint corn and soy beans, at the Mas
sachusetts station, showed that the
beans produced nearly "a per cent.
more protein than the corn, while the
acre of corn produced over Sd per
cent, more of carbohydrates and fat
than the soy beans.
While corn and soy bean silage con-
stitute balanced ration, it is not to
be inferred that grain is entirely I'M
necessary where the silage is fed to
dairy cows But 1t has been found
possible to reduce the grain ration
considerably under these conditions
and still maintain the milk flow Ac-
cording to Prof w A. Henry, silage
made of corn and soy beans is more
digestible than that made from corn
silage alone.

To build a sweet potato storage
house or dry kiln that will hold 1000
bushels, mark off foundation 22x38
feet, extending east and west. Then
mark off a 1-foot space all around
this on the inside and build con-
crete wall two feet high and one foot
thick, with an even, level surface to
lay the sill on.
Cut off eight feet at the east end
and build a concrete wall one foot
thick from side to side, the same
height as the outside wall.
: In the center of the east-end space
dig cellar six feet deep, five feet
wide and ten feet long, leaving a five
foot shelf on each side. This cellar
is to be used for fire-box, where you
place stove to produce heat for the
house. Cement the entire bottom,

Raising Native Lambs.

The farmer who will pay close at
tention to his Breeding stock and raise
native lambs of uniform size and
breed, feed them intelligently and mar
ket them at the right time can make
more profit from his flock than from
any other farm investment. AS rule,
the native" lambs sent to the mar
ket are so badly mixed, both as to
bred and feeding, that they are tor
ment to the buyer and of little profit
to the owner.
This is one of the reasons why the
western range lambs find great favor
in the big markets. They are more
uniform in size, as they are fed in
large flocks and go to market practic-
ally in the same condition. Only a
small portion of the native" lambs
that are sold in the eastern markets
can be called prime, and this fact is
entirely the fault of the farmer. 3

Alfalfa for Hill Farms.

The area of alfalfa continues to ex-
pand but not fast enough in the terri.
tory that most needs the crop. The
owner of level land that can be farm
ed right along in rotation including
clover can do very well without al
falfa. In fact such farmer may do
better to put in his best ticks on the
clover crop than in trying to grow al
falfa. Where alfalfa is needed most
is on the hill farms which should
not be under the pillow any more than
is absolutely necessary Those who
own hilly land should study alfalfa
and keep on trying until they get 1t
or demonstrate that its production is
impossible. With alfalfa meadows and
bluegrass pastures the forage problem
on the hills is simplified if not solved.

reference to some existing object,
such as highway, private drive or
other building, and it is best that the
first line determined be the one SO
influenced
With this line established, which
may be considered a base line, the
location of the corners which come
on it is the next step.
One corner will probably be located
with reference to some other object,
and the other corner on the base line
will be located distance from the
first, equal to the length or breadth of
the building
These are marked by stakes driven
in the ground, the exact points being
indicated by a nail driven in the
stake.
After having the corners located it
is necessary to establish these points
In way that they will remain per-
manent during the construction of
the foundation, and this is best done
by building fencelike forms at the cor
ners.
These should be constructed back
at least eight feet from the founda-
ton lines, and should be long enough
to permit of marking both the inside
and outside foundation lines on the
horizontal or top board
The points on the corner board will
be located by drawing cord from
one board to the other, bringing it
over the nails at the two corners. on
the same line; these points should be
accurately marked on the board by
notch, or by cutting a groove with
a saw
This line represents the outside Of
the foundation; the inside lines will
be indicated by measuring distance
equal to the thickness of the proposed
foundation, and stretching cord be-
tween these two points.
These points should be marked in
a different way from those Of the out
side line.
In wide buildings where 1t is neces-
sary to have intermediate supports,
foundation piers may be provided for
them.
The position of the piers can be
easily determined after the outside of
the building lines have been located
For instance. building 40x72 feet
as barn with 12-foot sheds and 16-
foot main building, mark off IL feet
from the corner on the end lines, and
set stakes with nail marking the
exact point, then draw line from one
end to the other, on this line locate
the piers for the bents; 10 feet IL for
10-foot bents, and IL feet if for IL
foot bents.
After the outside lines are accu-
rately located, the intermediate piers
are easily located by cross lines run
ming lengthwise and crosswise at the
desired distances.

CONCRETE FOUNDATION
Matter That Should Prove Inter-
esting to Farmers.
AS Groundwork for Farm Buildings
Is Nearly Always Rectangular 1t
Is Quite Simple Matter to
Lay 1t Out.
(Bv J. ". GRIFFIN.)

The construction of foundations for
buildings on the farm is matter
which should interest every farmer
In the past, foundations have usually
been of stone or brick, and it has been
the practice to hire brick or stone
mason to do the work.
AS the foundations for farm build
ings eare nearly always rectangular, to
lay them ott is very simple matter
If the principle is understood.
It is important that foundations be
built properly; and when concrete is
employed, proper construction is pos
sible with the regular farm help.
while if other material is used, skilled
labor is necessary.
To avoid confusion and for the
sake of clearness, the laying out and
building of foundation for struc-
ture having four corners, is given.
Usually, buildings are located with
