THE PROBLEM OF THE RURAL CHURCH

tor who came from the city or one
who lived in the country. The answer
10 this question was quite definite in
stating that the preference nearly al
ways lay with the man who lived in
the country. A most significant fact
is the large proportion Of congrega'
lions reporting most encouraging re-
suits Where the minister resided in
the community and took part in all
the community affairs as ;contrasted
with the minister who merely makes
his semi-monthly calls al the, church
and then apparently has but little FUR
Their interest in the community until
next service day. Approximately So
per cent of the replies indicated an in
crease OF interest manifested in the
local church, while AZ per cent report
ed decrease of interest. .
The QUESTIONABLE was closed with
three questions to which we had lit
tie hope Of accurate answers. In fact,
these questions were put in largely 10
stars the Iaymen to thinking earnestly
about the situation OF the rural church,
We find that about thrty.eight per
cent represents the drift cityward,
which is probably about normal.
In making some recommendation for
an up-from.the,farm movement we are
face to face with the old situation
whether the people are going 10 pay
such salaries that pastors will be ena'
bled to growand allow time for personal
development, or whether the men can
be secured who will accept the meager
conditions of support and make the
sacrifice Of their talents, IN order that
the lives of these people may be lifted,
We need not expect either in any
marked degree, They will have to
come along together hand in. hand,
This caft be brought about best by the
organization Of all the forces in the
field. Mind, mite and morals must be
interIinked and no one developed to
the exclusion Of the other, 1t can be
done through organization.

| The first cost Of pure.bred cows is too
great, but no farmer with four or five
cows can afford to be without a pure
bred bull The sire is half the herd
and should be OF the very best type
Last August calves that were out OF
ordinary COWS and sired by inferior or
grade sires could be purchased for
from $14 to $50 per head at four or
five months old, while calves out Of
! the same grade of COWS, but sired by
bure.bred beef bulls, were selling for
from SIS to $50 per head.at the same
age, and a few OF the best were de-
handing prices UP to $S5. In other
words, buyers were paying n premium
of $40 per head for calves OF good con-
formation that had been sired by a
pure-bred beef bull.
In the selection OF sire careful con.
slderation should be given 10 the breed
type and strain. \ There is no best
breed Of beef cattle, but there is one
breed that will suit the conditions Of
section or farm better than others.
All owners have their likes and dis
likes, and in each particular section
there is usually certain breed reign
ing in popularity. The stock ratsers
in section should get together and
discuss the advantages and disadvan.
tages OF the different breeds, and after
careful consideration one breed should
be decided upon. This system has sew.
eral advantages, and among them is
the fact that certain sections would
become centers for certain breeds.
Uniform cattle attract,buyers who are
willing to pay an advanced price4for
carload OF calves or steers that ara
all one breed and color Not only that,
but the section would be building
reputation for itself and creating a
good market for its stock After de-
Gliding on the breed. you want to select
a sire that Is trne type and representa-
tive OF that breed. The strain within
the breed is more important than the
selection OF the breed itself
In raising beef cattle select Syour
breed and then stay with that one
breed This is a day Of specialists in
all lines OF work, and the live stock
breeder is no exception. Much can be
accomplished by cooperation among
the stock aSers OF any section.

With The prices OF all kinds OF feed
ing stuff soaring upward and the value
OF land rapidly increasing We are led
10 u more serious consideration of the
kind and quality Of the beef cattle we
are producing on our farms.
The market quotations on steers o.
proper quality and conformation. and
on those ttat are lacking in quality
ragda cpnformation and Heshing, vary
g1eIIy. ibis difference in price is
due TO two facts: First. choice
steer will dress out from SO to IS per
cent Of salable meat, as compared 10
, live weight, While poor, nondescript
animal will dress out only from 40 to
so per cent, depending on the degree
OF tleshing and conformation. Second
ly. the steer that dresses out So to IS
per cent not only has a much higher
dressing percentage, but the quality
of meat is much better and will COM
mand top prices. while cuts from a
steer dressing. only 40 10 so per cent
will be rated as second and third.grade
cuts and can only command second
and third.rate prices.
For example, take the seer that
weighs 1000 pounds and sells for SE
cents per pound, and will dress out 81
per cent. That beef will cost the
butcher 1919 cents per pound and will
be OF the very best quality On the
other hand, take Steer that weighs
1000 pounds and sells for 6iA cents
per pound and will only dress out
As per cent, the beef from this steer
will cost the butcher 14.4 cents per
pound, and will be an inferior grade
OF meat From the butchers view.
point the Sta-cent steer Is much the
cheaper, and that Is the one he pre-
fers. The butcher or packer is will
ing to pay high price for a superior
animal, aud we want to meet his de-
mands, for Invariably It Is the highest
priced steer that makes the most profit
for the owner. ss
The question to be considered, then
is how can we produ!e this superior
animal? The average farmer who is
raising cattle for beef production has
an ordinary herd Of grade or monde
script COWS and can not afford to dis
pose OF all Of these and invest in pure
bred COWS for beef production alone

Burned to Death.

WHEELING - One of the most
horrible tragedies recorded in this
city in long time occurred when
Mrs. Fannie Howley, aged 80 years.
was burned to death at her home'
No. 2316 Wood street. The first
known of the tragedy was, when Ed
ward Howley, fourteen-year-old
grandson Of the deceased, went to
see her and upon opening the door
saw, his grandmother lying on the
floor of the kitchen with her clothes
a mass of flames. He gathered up a
rug and threw 1t over her and then
ran to Breumer and Helderbrand's
where his brother worked, and told
lin to hurry that Grandma was all
burned up" When he arrived at the
house he found his grandmother ly--.
ing on the floor dead. Her head was
burned to a crisp while her arms and
upper portion of the body were also
horribly burned.

What is wrong with the rural
church? Does the rural church have
n problem? A short series of visits 10
rural churches of any locality will soon
convince one that something Is wrong
and that there is a rural church prob
lem to be solved. Numerous rural
church and country life conferences
being held in various sections also
uoint toward the ttndisputei fact that
.the average rural church, under pres
emf conditions, leaves much TO be de-
sired. In order to throw some light
on this question the writer undertook
a series Of inquiries which brought
forth certain items OF information
which ought to be Of general interest.
One Of the questions asked was as
to the number OF rural churches In one
given locality. The answers indicate
that most sections are Gver-churched.
1t is no uncommon occurrence to find
three churches within radius of two
or three miles. 1t is true that these
are usually of different denominations,
but this fact in itself does not justify
the splitting up of community Into
three different religious and social cell'
ters. 1t Is evident that in the ordinary
rural community no one church can
maintain a respectable sized congre'
CATION when it must compete with two
or more additional churches IN the
same locality. The superAuous church
es and resulting small congregations
bring about the further difficulty. Of
requiring one minister TO preside at
several different churches. or course
under these circumstances it Is posi-
he to have. only very limited num-
her Of services per month. The re-
piles TO this question showed an aver
age OF about six services per month
1t is evident from this statement that
the church Is doing almost nothing to
further the social life Of the young
people Of the congregation.
The second question to whtch-an an
.'wer was requested was so worded as
