ExToRTIoN RULES IN CHINA
Grating officials Are Everywhere
and Advancement is Obtained only
by Brlblng Authorities.

The form Of rule which obtains In
China at present may be summed up
in few words. The people have
no say whatever in the management
of imperial, national or even munici-
pal affairs. The mandarins. or local
magistrates, have full power Of ad-
5udication. from which there Is no ap-
peal Their word is law, and they
have full scope 10 practice their
Vaccinations with complete lrrespons-
ibility and every officer may fatten
himself with impunity. Extortion by
officials is an institution. IL is the
condition on which they take once;
and II is only when the bleeder a
bungler that the government steps in
with pretended benevolence to amell-
orate. but more often TO complete. the

English readers are probably un-
aware of the smallness OF the estab-
lished salaries OF provincial magnates,
They Will scarcely credit that the
yiceroy OF. say. Canton, ruling a coun-
try with a population larger than that
OF Great Britain. is allowed as his
legal salary the paltry sum Of ESQ a
year: so that, in order to live and
maintain himself in office. accumulat-
ing fabulous riches the while. he re-
sorts 10 extortion and the selling OF
Justice. So with education. The re-
suits OF examinations are the one
means OF obtaining official notice.
Granted that a young scholar gains
distinction, he proceeds to seek pub
lie employment and. by brlbing the
Peking authorities. an Official post is
hoped for. Once obtained. as he can
not live on his salary. perhaps he
even pays so much annually for his
post. license to squeeze is the result,
and the man must be stupid indeed
who cannot. when backed up by the
government, mako himself rich
enough TO buy still higher post in
few years. With advancement
comes increased license and add.
tional facilities for his enrichment. SO
that the cleverest "squeezer' ulti
mately can obtain money enough Ia
purchase the highes positions.
This official thief, with his mind
warped by his mode OF life. is the ul
timate authority in all matters Of so
cial, political and criminal life. II Ia
a fatal system, an imperiuin in i'm.
perio, an unjust autocracy which
thrives by Its own rottenness But
this system OF fattening on the public
vitals-the selling OF power-ls the
chief means by which the Manchu
dynasty continues to exist with this
legalized corruption stamped as the
highest ideal of government. who can

undercurrent OF dissatisfaction among
the people From an article by DR.

DoN'Ts FOR THE BABY.

Don't dance him on your knees until
his little brain is added.
Don't pin him into tight bands and
clothes and then wonder why he cries.
Don't forget that three hundred thou.
sand babies die each year before they
are year old. in our own United
States.
Don't forget what the baby peeds
and not what you would like to do
for him.
Don't lack courage to forbid promis-
cuous kissing of your baby.
Don't forget to feed him regularly.
Don't forget that he needs much
sleep and much letting alone, lots OF
fresh air and sunshine, as does any
young plant.

For the Seasick.

For no other human III have such
various remedies been prescribed as
for seasickness. Specifies for sea
sickness there are in hundreds. +"
writes Mr.. c. o. Burge, but until the
immediate cause is known we may
look in vain for remedy. Tight
belts, red spectacles. high feeding and
starvation have all been tried In vain.
At a luncheon party a distinguished
physician was asked for advice on this
subject. He knew Of two highly val.
liable cures, he said, which had never
been known to fail. and which he
would freely impart. The first was
for the sufferer to land at the first OPP
portunity and the second was for him
TO go with the ship to the bottom"

The sugar beet and the stock beet
are entirely different varieties. The
sugar beet makes very good stock
food. but for the dairy business the
stock beet is very much to be pre-.
ferred for two reasons: First, you
get third or more yield per acre,
and, too, they are less expensive to
raise and furnish so much more sue
culent that they a.C a more econ
omical variety to use. Sugar beets
containing large percentage of sugar
are not especially a dairy food, lnas.
much as the sugar content is more
tattening than Il is in stimulating
milk production, The best variety OF
the Mangel WurZel is the Golden
Tankard. You can buy II on almost
any seed market and II costs about
fifteen TO twenty cents a pound; about
twenty pounds per acre will be suf-
ficient. Plant about corn planting
time in fall plowed, well titled fertile
land In rows about three feet apart
and cultivate and thin out as you
would ordinary beets or turnips. You
will have great satisfaction in this
crop as supplementary feed for
dairy cattle.-J A. Wilson. Director.

The method which we employ at the

out having TO give It the finger, at
least not more than once or twice, un-
I'll IL gets taste OF the milk. Our
plan is to give only whole milk about
three pounds twice per day for the
first week. The second week increase
II pound or so and use half whole
milk and half skim milk. The third
week give all skim milk with a table,
spoon of linseed meal added to take
the place of the butter fat which has
been removed by the separator. As
the young calf increases in age up to
eight or ten weeks, would increase
the amount Of feed gradually until you
are giving a calf two months old say
ten pounds OF milk to feeding. or a
little more as your judgment may die
tate with regard to the individual ma
ture and requirements of the animal.
There is no necessity of feeding whole
milk to calves after they are two
weeks old using butter fat that is
worth twenty-five cents per pound
when linseed meal that costs only
about cent or two per pound will
supply the needs just as well. There
is nothing in butter fat that builds up
body tissue; so that you can see the
business side Of It from this illustra-
tion. After the calves are two or three
weeks old, they will begin to nibble at
good, clean, well-cured, palatable hay,
alfalfa being about the best, as II con-
tains a large amount of protein to
build up the muscular and bony tissue
OF the body. BE careful TO feed young
calves in clean vessels; do not over
feed, neither of the milk nor the lin
seed. More calves are either hurt from
over-feeding at an early age than from
under-feeding.-J. A. Wilson, Director.

II you have a good, healthy start
of alfalfa on your soil, there is little
danger OF it being acid for alfalfa will
not grow well on acid soil A healthy
growth can be told by a dark green
color of the leaves. The county in
which your alfalfa is located has a
good deal OF limestone in 1t and
believe you will find sufficient sup
ply already In the soil. However, you
can easily try this cut by scattering
anywhere from 1000 to 1000 pounds
OF lime to the acre on small portion
and note results. Lime may be ap-
piled in the form of ground limestone
or burned limestone, or in the form OF
gypsum. The burned limestone con-
tains more lime, is more active and
gives quicker results. II may be scat
tered with shovels from a wagon, but
1t is also applied with lime drill
especially made for this purpose. L:
you wish to apply the lime, It would
be best to scatter II in the spring a
short time before the plants start to
grow and then harrow the field once
or twice.-O. o. Churchill, Dept. of
