AUTOS VALUE IN WARFARE
It 10 a Power That Must Be
Reckoned With.

In the interesting presidential ad.
dress before the Institution of Auto
mobile Engineers, at London, T. B.
Browne stated that in the recent army
maneuvers held on . large scale in
this country the automobile proved
itself Of the greatest advantage. The
invaders and defenders, each consist
ing Of one cavalry division and two
infantry divisions, were furnished
with approximately 110 petrol vehicles
and 36 steam vehicles, which, working
in conjunction with the railways, un-
dertook the whole Of the supplies to
the armies. Where roads are avail
able the gain by the use of automo-
biles over horses for this purpose is
enormous. as 1t can easily be seen
that where the latter cover 40 miles
in two days the same distance would
be covered in four hours by the for.
mer. 1t takes four motor lorries to
carry one days supplies for a brigade
of about 1000 men, and each lorry
takes three-ton load, which is equiv
alent to three horse wagons. More
over, the motor vehicles take up only
two-thirds of the road space required
for the horse vehicles.

ALL SHOULD MARRY YOUNG

Eliot Of Harvard Gives the Com
Ina Generation.

Doctor Eliot Of Harvard declares
that postponed marriage is a great
modern evil In educated society. His
belief 10 given in full in Harper's
Bazaar, cheerful message to the
coming generation, in the course Of
which he says: You will hear some
young man say: ! cannot invite
girl, who has been brought up to do
nothing for herself. and to have every
luxury provided for her, to marry me,
until | can earn an income which
will enable her to live with me in that
way. | have two remarks to make
about that doctrine-that If girl has
been brought up in that manner, the
sooner she has chance to live DIFF
ferently the better for her; and, sec
ondly, that 1t Is only fair for a young
man who loves young woman to con-
suit whether or not she wishes to
marry him before he can earn a large
income.
"The young woman has a clear
right to say word on that subject
to the man she loves and not to be
obliged to wait till he Is thirty-hve
years old before he asks her to marry
him. This is a matter Of looking
ahead at a critical point in your hvea.

Caring for Blind Babies.

Mrs. Cynthia Westover Allen. presi-
dent of the International Sunshine
society, was the first person to public
ly ask permission to take blind babies
out of the homes for detectives and to
try to have them brought up in homes
like other children. The Sunshine
society is now making the motheriLg
of blind babies one of Its departments
of work. She established a private
home for the blind babies of New York
and then asked the board Of education
to take on the work. and after many
disappointments she had the satisfac-
ton of seeing institutions for blind
children established by acts Of legis-
lature In New York and New Jersey.

KIND OF COWS TO BUY
Animals Not Adapted to DairyinJ
Cause Failures.
To obtain Best Results It Is Essential
That Strict Dairy Type Be Kept
Beef Value of Secondary
Importance.

By E. A. MARKHAM, Idaho Experi-
ment Station)
1t is not difficult to find men, even
in the most prosperous dairy COM
munities, who do not believe that
dairying.pays. They have tried 1t and
failed. Some have purchased good
stock, but poor management or false
economy in housing or feeding pre-.
vented them from getting the results
they expected, but by far the largest
number of these failures are due to
the use of animals that are not
adapted to dairying.
Those who purchase few cows
when the price of butter fat Is high
and sell them off when the price goes
down naturally have rather poor
opinion of the dairy business. To OBJ
tain the best results 1t is essential
that the animals purchased for the
dairy should be of the strict dairy
type, and be made a permanent part
Of the farm live stock. Those who
purchase cows with the intention Of
milking them but short time and
then selling them off when the price
Of butter-fat drops or when the ami
NAL goes dry naturally look more for
beef producers rather than milk pro-
ducers. 1t is impossible to build up
good dairy herd by this method.
Dual-purpose animals may be used
in some localities to good advantage,
but to get the best results one Of the
special dairy breeds should be used.
This does not mean that only thor

oughbred animals should be used, but
animals that are bred for milk pro-
duction. A good dairy COW should
produce enough butterfat in her best
days that the value of the beef may
be of secondary importance. If not
entirely ignored.
A person purchasing an implement
considers first how much service he
can get out of it and not Its value

who purchase dairy COW should con-
slider how much butter-fat she will
produce and not the value of her hide

Economical Hoq Trouuh.

When rough lumber Is $18 thou
sand, six-foot hog trough made Of
two-inch plank costs about 80 cents
for lumber. Labor and nails add 25
cents to the cost. My hogs destroy
from one to three such troughs In a
year, says writer in an exchange.
Feed gets wasted, too, for new trough
is seldom made till the old one Is poor
er than 1t ought to be. Three troughs
at the above estimate cost $2.25. An
iron trough six feet long costs $2.25,
