The Michigan farmer is confronted
by serious situation as regards the
wintering of his cattle. Under the
term farmer in this connection we in
clude more particularly those engaged
in general farming rather than the
dairy or beef producing specialist.
The general farmer is not so apt TO
prepare for emergencies as the spe-
cialist. Following the severe drought
Of the past season there is marked
shortage of farm feeds accompanied
by unusually high prices for the same.
Under these conditions it is a COM
mon practice for the farmer to dis
pose of most of his cattle at a sacri-
fice rather than purchase the neces-
sary high-priced commercial feeds.
Where this is done a long period us
ually elapses before the farm is re-
stocked.
A great deal can be accomplished
In the economic wintering of dry
cows, stockers. and even young grow
ing animals if the coarser, less val
liable farm crops are properly pre-
pared and utilized. There is much
feeding value in the straw Of such
crops as oats, wheat, beardless and
hulless barley, cornstalks, corn fod-
der, etc, If properly utilized. But
very undesirable results have oc-
Cured in cases where some one or
two of these feeds alone have been
used throughout the entire season
without special preparation or COM
bination with other feeds as in the
case of rye straw and corn stalks.
A woody difficulty digestible COM
bination such as these two feeds con-
tains too great an excess of dry woody
fiber which after long continued use
is apt to lead to serious digestive
troubles. On the other hand. how
ever, if these feeds are made more
palatable and supplemented by small
quantities Of other feeds good results
may be secured. English and Scotch
feeders use straw with roots and some
meal for dairy COWS and beef cattle.
Much can be done to make coarse
feeds more palatable, but the Amer
ican farmer objects to the expense of
putting hay. straw, corn stalks, ETC.,
through the cutting box, moistening
the same and mixing a little meal
with it. On the other hand, the farm

| BUSINESS TRAINING for /
| COUNTRY BOYS and GIRLS
BY PROF. w. A. McKEEVER
From Lecture Given at Round-U Up Institute. 1911

In the rush of carrying on the work
Of the farm and farm home, the coun-
try boy and girl are very likely to
suffer in respect to their business
training. Each may be given a small
amount of property or a small inter
est in the business of the farm or
home, or a suitable wage for the work
sons in economic thrift may be incul
Gated. There is here again great need
that the authorities work out q plan
of procedure. But while we are wait
ing for them to do so we may resort to
a few methods that have proved very
helpful in imparting the instruction
here considered essential. First of all,
it is desirable that the boy and girl
be made familiar with the details of
the farm business. The father should
take his son into his confidence and
familiarize him with practically every
business deal. the price paid and the
price received; the methods OF buy
ing at an advantage and of selling at
a profit; the methods of keeping the
farm accounts and OF reinvesting the
money returns-aIl these and many
other such may be profitably revealed
to the understanding of the growing
boy. Moreover, his business training
will be greatly aided II he be direct
ed in conducting on a small scale ac-
tual business transactions of his own.
In addition he may be given repeated
ly the task of taking charge of the
minor affairs of shopping. marketing.
and the like. Country youths are
proverbially crude in their business
methods. and that chiefly for want OF
practice.
A similar sort of business transac-
ton may and should be given the girl
growing up in the farm home. Let it
be seen TO that she have some small
property, or money. or at least rea-
sonable income of her own, and that
she be taught by slow degrees how to
make a reasonable use of this income
in the management of her personal af-
fairs. Above all things else. be GER
tain that she be given as much for
what work she performs as would
have to be paid for such performance
by an ordinary employe. Then. add to
this a small amount for the sake OF
the good will and affectionate regard
that naturally exists between parents
and daughter. Every step In the bust

ILUTHERAN PIONEER
Centenary of Rev. WaIther's
Birth Is Observed.
Conspicuous Figure In the Church's
History Who Came to America to
Enjoy Full Liberty of Con-
science.

st. Louis, Mo.-There is large
church body known as The Lutheran
Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other
states, the main founder, leader and
advocate Of which was Carl Ferdinand
Wilhelm Walther, ID. D., whose Tooth
birthday has recently observed for
lays by special services in thousands
of churches of the Lutheran faith in
The United States and Canada and all
parts of the world
Prof. Walther, the most conspicu-
ous figure in the history of American
Lutheranism, was born October %,
1911, in Saxony, Germany. In the
gymnasium of Schneeberg he received
1 thorough classical education and
then pursued the studies of theology
Of Leipzig. After graduating from
that institution with high honors he
ministered for brief period to a state
church in his native land. However.
his strict adherence to Gods word
and Luther's doctrine pure" and his
outspoken frankness soon brought him
in conflict with the powers that were
and he resolved to seek in free Amer
lea that full liberty of conscience
which was denied him in the land Of
his birth. He landed on our shores
in the year 1888, in company with
several brother ministers and a small
band of emigrants who, like the Pill
grim Fathers, sought a haven of ref
uge and liberty on Americas free
soil.
After a short stay in Perry county,
Mo-, where the first college, a small
log cabin, was erected, he removed to
st. Louis, where he passed his long
and useful life. AS first pastor Of

papers, as author of several church
of valuable theological works, as pres
dent of the Lutheran Missouri Synod
he labored Increasingly and his name
and fame became world wide.
And he lived to see in part the
fruits of his labors. In place of the
first little college in Perry county
there was erected and dedicated A
years later in st. Louis the handsome
seminary in which today over 800
young men are being prepared for the
Lutheran ministry. To this we must
add another theological seminary at
Springfield, ILL.,, one teachers semin.

IL ministers and IL congregations, to

in which 2,400 teachers instruct "a,

large publishing house at st. Louis

BROWN Is BELLIGERENT

Editor Brown of the st. Petersburg
pendent. his contemporaries
say has had an alteration with Com
missioner Railsback of Pinellas coun-
ty. Commissioner Railsback, having
made remarks rejecting on the char
acter OF Editor Brown, the latter
threatened to whip Railsback, and, if
necessary, to kill him, unless said re-
marks were recanted.
The Star hopes Editor Brown has
been misquoted. 1t Is often the duty
of an editor to criticise public meas
ures and sometimes public men. AS
long as human nature remains what
Ii Is, he cannot do so without caus-
ing Ill will and provoking abuse. AS
long as he is not made object of
personal violence, it is part of his bus
mess to ignore both i'll will and abuse.
IL - replies to abuse with abuse. he
lowers himself to the level of his OPP
ponents. II he makes threats, he i'm
pairs his influence and puts himself in
the same class with DULLES If he
threatens to kill. he puts himself in
the class with criminals. If a man
lives in such a way as to win the re-
spect of his friends, it makes little
difference what his enemies say OF
him. The law and the obligations OF
our common civilization do not allow
one man to threaten another with
death. II Editor Brown had made his
threat good, he would have found him
self in far greater trouble than any
that could result from an insult to his
dignity.
