IMPORTANCE OF RAISING
LIVE STOCK

In the last few years all branches
of the agricultural industry have
been receiving an increasing
amount of the public's attention
and appreciation. 1t is now gen.
orally conceded that the study of
such subjects as soil, fruit grow
ing and live stock production, both
from the scientific point of view
and the application of the science
to most successful practice, is of
great Importance to all interested,
either directly or indirectly in ag-
riculture.
In no phase of the agricultural
industry has there been 30 great a
change, a change amounting in
effect to revolution of practice,
as in live stock production. The
soils man and the chemist have
shown that animals help maintain
and restore soil fertility and that
live stock in connection with gen.
eral farming is the only cheap and
effective method for retaining per-
manently the soils productive
power.
Anyone conversant with ship
ping methods can see the advan-
tage of marketing bulky crops in
the concentrated animal form
Finally, our specialists in educa-
ton are fast coming to believe
that good animals, rightly handled
on the farm, are one of the best
possible means of retaining the in
terest of both young men and
young women in the farm and OF
checking the rush to the cities.
The greatest change in methods
of live stock management have
taken place in the West. In past
years a ranch consisted of few
buildings for headquarters and
thousands of acres of free or fenced
range in connection. The range
carried the horses, cattle or sheer
both winter and summer. The
western farm in the past has beer

Commandant Ferrie, the chief
of the wireless telegraph service
on the Eiffel tower, recently gave
an interview on wireless telegra-
ply and its use in the future.
He declared that it was i'm
possible ever to say that the last
word with regard to wireless teleg-
raphy had been said, but that, on
the contrary, there was every rea-
son to believe that we are on the
verge of most important discover
les which are likely to be of the
greatest value for wireless CON-
munication.
With regard to the discovery
made by M. Bethenod of the wire
less system without sparks, the
main advantage in this is that the
neigh boring posts are not 80 likely
to interfere with one another's
communications, since, as Com
mandant Ferrie explained, ma
chimes which produced directly
regular and continuous vibrations
could obviously be tuned up to one
another with far greater facility
than those which produced the
less regular and jerking vibrations
given off by series of sparks"
1t is expected also that with this
system a considerable amount of
intermediary machinery will not
be required This should result
in a reduction Of loss, although it
is probable that the instruments
will be of most delicate nature,
owing to the increased velocity of
the vibrations.

Originated Dinner Custom,

We are told that in Venice origi-
mated the custom Of giving favors to
guests. Henry III. attended a sugar
banquet in the doge's palace where
plates, cups and even napkins were
formed from sugar, and 300 spun su-
gar eff1gies were given to the ladies.
This dinner Of state lasted three
hours, and king Henry brought with
him his own bother, who presided over
the wines.

Folly Of Worry.

Worry Is overwork of the most dis

brain no rest, but rather keeps the
delicate cells In constant and contin-
uous action. Work is wear; worry 10

END TRUANCY IN LOS ANGELES

System Which Might Eliminate

Mr.. Conner, as head Of the John T.

with four stores, but his success has
come mainly In the last few years.
About five years ago he became In
terested in profit sharing from read

Mr.. Brandeis plan was simple. aft
er It was evolved, and has worked
very smoothly. He divided the bust
ness into departments, each of which
with the exception OF one, contained
a group of stores. The remaining de-
partment included the central Office
warehouse and shipping end OF the
business. One-half the profit shares
are held by the company, the other
half by the employees, of which there
are now 600.
At the end of the year the profits
of each department are calculated,
and, in general, the employees In the
stores of the departments which have
produced the most net gain receive
the largest percentage Of results. But
Mr.. Conner does not believe in car
rying out the scheme literally-that
is, by making employees suffer If in de-
partments which have not shown
large profits-so under the way he
administers the system every one is
bound to get some share
The practical results of the system
we're finely illustrated the ether night
when at a monthly meeting of the en-
ployes' association the sum Of $4,000
representing exactly one-half the com
pany's net profits for the past year
was divided among them. Every one
who had been with the firm for a
year or more, from the order boys tC
the highest paid officials, received
something, the amounts varying from
SIS to $1,000. The money was given
to them in the form of bank deposits
as an encouragement to thrift.
The first year the plan was tried
