IMPROVE LIVE STOCK BREEDS
Secretary Hays Of the Department Of
Agriculture Gives Views on
Economic Aspect.

In discussing the economic aspect
of the work In cooperative breeding.
Assistant Secretary Hays. of the de-
partment of agriculture, said in re-
cent. interview:
Cooperation in animal breeding.
as In other forms of country life co
operation, is a direct aid to the reten-
tion of the family farm. making less
need for large farms and the conse-
quent landlordism and peasantry OF
the people. Cooperation In testing
and wedding out the ordinary herd
used for production. in owning male
animals, and In improving pure-bred
families and breeds will enable farm
ers to delegate to collective manage
ment those things which the individ-
ual farmer can not well do for him
self II properly organized under suit
able cooperative relations with the
state and federal departments of ag-
laws. the hereditary values of our
breeds of live stock can be improved
much more rapidly than II left to in
dividual effort alone.
There doubtless are at stake some
hundreds of millions OF possible added
profit from the application of scien-
tihc knowledge of animal breeding in
the United States alone. Private
breeders could do even much more
than now II the scientific breeding of
animals we're taken in hand by public
agencies cooperating with selected
portion of the breeders of each class
Of live stock There will be deyeloped
class of technical public workers as
superntendents of cooperative breed
Ing enterprises. as well as investi-
gators and teachers. who will SO de-
velop the science and practice of
breeding that all private breeders will
better know how to improve their
stock. and Will be better able to make
profits from supplying superior
breeding stock to the farmers who
grow live stock products"

and basins: let each kind of fat have
its special Jar. Re-clarify the contents
Of each one once week by beating
the fat and pouring 1t into clean

boiling water at the bottom.
Avoid putting soup skimmings with
fat which runs from fresh meat; never
put burnt fat with that which is

Of the people have been carefully
safeguarded, the business of the rail-
roads has not been unnecessarily dis.
turbed.
The platform promised to promote
the welfare of the railroad employees
by proper legislation for their safety
and by the enactment of an employees
liability law that should be within
the requirements of the constitution
as pointed out by the supreme court
The pledge was promptly fulfilled and
a law is now imbedded In the statutes
doing away with the old rule of con
tributory negligence. A step beyond
the platform promise has been taken
through the enactment of beneficent
laws touching the use OF safety ap.
pliances on railroads which look to
the protection of their employees from
every avoidable accident.
The platform promised a child Ia
Dor law for the District of Columbia
that should serve as a model for the
states. Such law has been passed.
The platform promised the estab
lishment of a mining bureau. That
has been done and the life of every
miner in the United States Us less ex.
posed to danger because Of the great
work this bureau is doing.
The platform promised to maintain
the efficiency of the army and navy
That has been done.
The platform promised to follow up
the conservation policy upon which
the Roosevelt administration had en-
tered. That has been done by the
passage of laws which will make i'm
possible the exploitation or monopoli
zation of the mineral wealth of the
public domain.
The platform promised that the best
of efforts would be made to extend
the foreign commerce of the United
States. For the first time. our ex
ports last year passed the two billion
dollar mark.
The platform promised statehood to
New Mexico and Arizona. Their stars
are on the flag.
In word. with few exceptions OF
minor Importance. every pledge given
to the people OF the United States by
the Republican party in its platform
of 1908 has been written into law.
Nor do these accomplishments OF
the Taft administration make any ref
erence to those achievements which
were outside the platform promises
which are in peculiar sense the
achievements of the president him
self-the superb tact and skill with
which our diplomacy has met the
problems of international intercourse
the introduction of business methods
into the departments at Washington
effecting economies reaching in the
aggregate many millions of dollars
and the negotiations of treaties with
France and Great Britain-the long
est step in the direction of world
peace that has ever been taken since
the world began.

VARIETY IN DIET IMPORTANT
Really Good Housewife 10 the One
Who Car and Does Get Away
From Samoness.

It seems to me the most tiresoma
truism to harp on the need Of variety
In diet. writes the editor of cooking
school magazine. When experts are
devoting their energy to inventing and
exploiting new dishes and new ways
OF preparing old ones. there Is posi-
lively no excuse for monotonous
menus. Yet It 10 unfortunately true
that even In this day OF enlighten-
ment many families move along in
we'll worn ruts. repeating every week.
day by day. the same old program
with very slight variation. 1t IL no
wonder that the children lose their
appetite. and the husband ceases to
take any interest in meal time.
common fault In housekeeping ID
to repeat ad nauseum favorite dish.
A young man once remarked that he
had never dared to praise any article
on the table for fear 1t would be serv-
ed henceforth for seven days In the
week. His fond mother. seeking to
please his taste. did not realize how
she was firing him. The most deli.
cious Wand in the world loses Its
charm with constant repetition. Only
bread and butter will stand the every
day test.
To put 1t very badly. lack of vari-
ETY. means sheer laziness. For laziness
is of many kinds, mental. moral and
physical Many a housekeeper, who
never shirks actual work. does not
exert her brains enough in planning
for her table. She does not consider 1t
necessary. Others. who are more or
less bright about thinking Of new
things. are always too busy or too
tired and constantly postpone the hap
py day for q special delicacy. Happy
is a family where the good house
keeper understands and lives up to
the belief that variety In diet Is az
important as In our pleasures.

MANAGER is VITAL FACTOR
Cooperative Enterprises Fall or Sue
coed According to Skill Shown
! In Choice Of Head.

Seek the cause Of the success of q
cooperative effort and you will fnd
q capable manager. Cooperative en-
terprises succeed or fall according to
the skill they have shown in the
choice of a manager. 1t has been said
that in a successful cooperative com
pany the members do not cooperate
with one another. but each cooper.
ates with the manager. In the early
days of the grange over half of the
grain elevators Of Iowa were owned
and operated by the farmers. At that
time they believed that business abil
ity was plentiful and they saw no rea'
son why a man should not be willing
to work in town for about double the
rate paid to man in the country
forgetting that the demands made
upon the man were perhaps more
than double. Hence they hired mex.
perienced men for from $50 to $40 a
month to run the elevators and the
stores. The common result was fail
ure.
The members of a cooperative en-
terprise are scattered. The manager
is the only point OF contact for the
transaction of business. The or
ganization cannot rise above the abil-
tiles of its representative. The sue
cessful cooperative companies Of to-
day are paying their managers well.
In many cases elevator managers get
from 500 to $3.50 a month and for
more extended local business the
$4,000 mark is frequently passed,
while national associations pay as
high as $4,000. For these salaries
very capable men are available and
the cooperative companies have as
good agents ns have their competi-
tors In fact, often better. Economies
in management must often be prac-
ticed. but the expensive manager who
is worth his cost to the company Is
the greatest Of economies. The
scarcity of good managers has been
one OF the chief factors In holding
back the organization of cooperative
erprises-Country Gentleman.

NEW IDEA OF COOPERATION
II VIII Do for the Farmer What Cor
poratlon Has Done for Business
People Work Together.

(By W. C. PALMER, Agricultural Editor.
North Dakota Agricultural college)
Corporation is the method of mod.
ern business organisation. BY this
means several people put their money
together SO as to gain the advantage
that comes from . large amount Of
capital. The building. equipment and
running of railroad. for instance, re-
quires more money than one man has.
70 many people put in their money
In some cases Thousands. The build
Ing and eQuipping Of = factory usu-
ally require more money than the
one starting 1t possesses. BY others
putting in their money the factory
is made possible. In one sense the
corporation IL a cooperative AFFAIR.
1t IL many people working together
with their money for the good of each
other.
The corporation does not lend It.
self SO well to the organization Of
farm business. but the underlying prin-
ciple of the corporation. that Is. CO.
operation. is admirably adapted to
farm affairs. In this case 1t will not
be only money that is put into the CO.
operative affair but 1t will be the pro-
ducing of farm products. marketing
farm products. social life. credit. good
Will. education.
In the producing of farm products
there are two ways of cooperating
cooperation in the growing of some
one crop. as potatoes. producing of
the one variety. working towards a
high standard of quality SO as to
make the locality known for that one
particular kind and quality of potato.
In stock raising grow one kind of
stock Of high quality SO as to make
the locality known for this.
The other way of cooperating in
growing the crop is the cooperative
ownership of machinery that is ex-
pensive and not much used. as silage
cutters. potato planters and diggers.
traction engines. sires. etc.
Where there II cooperation in pro-
duction 1t will not be difiicult to bring
about cooperation in marketing such
products as potatoes and butter. and
in buying such things a. machinery.

worked out through the consolidated
school. This il being further devel-
oped through farmers clubs. where
farmers exchange their experiences
and observations. The social life and
religion need to be closely united. The
church should be the leader In the
social life. The denominations should
come together and agree as one
church and make that a strong one
instead Of having several weak ones.
Farmers could well cooperate In
the establishing of credit associations
or at least in borrowing money. II
farmers had an organization and this
would stand back of loans. there is
no reason why money could not be Sc
cured for a lower rate Of interest.
Cooperation will do for the farmer
what corporation has done for bust
ness. The marvellous development oi
modern industry and business could
never have come except as a result
of the corporation. which enabled
people to work together. or. II you

Rural Mail Carriers HELPED,

Each day brings to light something
President Taft has done for the wage
earners. On September 80, 1912, $4,000
rural letter carriers received an in
crease In salaries-an increase which
everybody admits was brought about
by the recommendation and fruitful ef-
forts of President Taft.
The compensation of rural carriers
on standard routes. averaging about
rs miles in length, are increased from
81 900 to s1,100 year. with proper
tionate increases for rural carriers on
shorter routes. Sixteen years ago the
rural mail carriers were paid 5000 q
year. This year they receive $1,100.
Thus the Republican party and Presi-
dent Taft help the faithful men who
deliver mail upon rural routes.

Reasons for Cultivation.

There are other reasons for the cul-
tivation of corn besides the killing of
weeds and the saving OF the moisture.
One of the big reasons Is because the
plant food that is in the soil has to
be made over into a form that the
plant can use, and II the ground is
left packed and solid the process will
not take place.
The tiny organisms that live in the
soil are the agencies that performs
this work. and they do not prosper un-
less the ground is stirred and aerated.
