are obtained from fall freshening. but
my COWS freshened mostly during
early spring and summer, one in Nov.

January, four in February, one in
March, two in May and one in June.
The feed consisted of the usual
amount of mixed timothy and clover

MONEY IN WELL DRILLING.

There is hardly community in the
Pacific Northwest but what can find
use to advantage for a well-drilling
outfit. Hardly a day goes by but
what items are found in the local
press telling of deaths from typhoid
fever which we all know comes from
filthy drinking water. While the old
fashioned we'll has been a subject for
sentiment from the days of our child
hood, at the same time it has taken
some of our strongest and best men
from the rural communities as we'll as
thousands of children while the par
ents have stood mutely by, little
aware that the cause was at the back
door and easily remedied.
Thanks to broader dissemination
of literature on the subject of the
cause of typhoid fever the dread dis
ease is rapidly coming under control
and driven wells are among the most
pronounced assistants along this line.
ANY farmer with little mechanical
ingenuity can run we'll drilling out
fit and one good we'll will cali for
others. These remarks are made
after looking over a new well drilling
catalog from the Robertson Machinery
Company, of Portland, Oregon. Mr..
Reierson has found the secret too
we'll drilling machinery success and
his 3O-paged illustrated booklet tells
his story so that all who desire can
obtain the benefit of his years OF ex-
perience. 1t is a good clean business
to be in and you can feel that you are
doing something to better your COM
munity as well as to make an easy
profitable income if you follow we'll
drilling as an industry.

one-half tons per load, IL tons per
acre, and the cost of cutting, hauling
and putting into the three silos was
s1O0.05, counting for every hour of
labor and service of team at good
farm wages, or figuring the per ton
cost of handling at 30 cents.
This is the highest rate of yield of
corn which has come to our notice in
the Coast section and the lowest cost
Fer ton for handling. Mr.. Langdon
has the crop and the record to show
Missourians and expects next year to
make the same record, so anyone de-
string to see for himself is welcome
to visit his farm at harvesting time.
Mr.. Langdon avoids growing the
16 feet corn stalks as exhibited at
some of the fairs. The aim is for a
large enough stalk to produce good
sized ear of corn, which is six to
seven feet, and as many of them. as
an acre possibly can produce.
The rotation on this dairy farm is:
Two years in clover. then corn two
years, then. seeded with barley and
clover in spring at the rate of one
bushel barley, fifteen pounds clover
and three pounds timothy. After
cutting the corn the ground is disked
four times in the fall and as many
times again in spring. This SO
thoroughly pulverises the soil as to
give it maximum water and air hold
ing capacity, and the result is three
clover crops each season on the same
piece of ground. The first is cut in
early June and put into the silo or
fed as soiling crop, the second is
made into hay and the third is either
a soiling crop or put into the silo.
Mr.. Langdon keeps a herd of 40
COWS and carefully conserves the fer
tilizers for use on the soil, but con-
siders the growing of clover and the
frequent use of the disk of the great
est Importance in the production of
large crops on valley soil in the coast
section. Certified milk is sold at
very handsome figures to the Seattle
markets. Northwest Horticulturist.

HUMANLSM
BY Geo. Matthew Adams.

Isms are a part of the progress of
the race. Here's the best of all
Humanism. Humanism, we will say,
is the art of just being human.
Get back to being human.
To be human is to be yourself
through and through. And anybody
that tries to be human usually tries
a lot of things that turn out to be, in
the eyes of others who never think
of being human, very silly and very
laundering. But that is the delight
of it all! The big, strong people are
those that are usually human.
Get back to being human.
The man of affairs that can see
the feeling side of the fellow who
puts his coat on; the woman of
wealth and society who is able to be
human in the presence of her kitchen
girl-they are following out His
teaching of humanism.
Get back to being human.
Evil prosperity makes the snob.
Adversely and catastrophe makes the
human.
Get back to being human.
There are fewer human beings in
business than there should be. Be-
cause men forget that their helpers
are not machines, but brain and heart
and blood and bOne-and feeling. If
every man who reads this little talk
would enter his office tomorrow de-
termined to act like human being
think what happiness would be add
ed to that day, For TO be human is
to be kind, considerate, generous,
forgiving, helpful, inspiring as well
as to make mistakes and to err.
Get back to being human.
The most human thing possible is
to do your best. And if you happen
to do your worst-just forget it, and
start all over again. That's being
very human. And when you do win
big and glory in success-without
to help the nearest
fellow to you toward winning. That's
being mighty human, too.
Get back to being human.

OUTLAWING INCARCERATION.

From the Americas Times-Recorder
A few days ago the lower house of
congress passed a bill to make mis-
cegenation a felony in the District of
Columbia. The measure is designed
to prohibit the intermarriage of per-
sons of the white race to persons of
the Ethiopian, Malay or Monaghan
races. The bill was introduced last
year by Representative Hardwick of
Georgia, and as framed by him pro-
vided only against marriage between
whites and negroes or Chinese, but
the committee reported the bill with
an amendment to include the Malay
race in its prohibitory clause.
The bill makes the offense aimed
at punishable by Imprisonment of not
less than two years, or a fine of not
less than $500 or both Imprisonment
and fine in the discretion of the
court. If the bill should pass the
senate and become a law a long step
will be taken toward Outlawing mix
ed marriages in the country.
Perhaps nowhere in the country"
says the Macon News, lis the preten-
sions of negroes to social equality
and interracial relations more pro-
nounced and obnoxious than in
Washington, and the enactment of
law placing such relations under the
ban at the nations capital will have
a far more salutary and farreaching
effect doubtless than almost any
where else"
The passage of the law will set an
example that will probably be fol-
lowed by a number of the Northern
states in which the evil of miscege-
nation exists to an alarming extent.

Unfair to the Customer,

1t has always struck The News as
a rather queer proposition that mu-
nicfpality should sell its citizens wa
ter and light and then charge them
for measuring the goods, so to speak,
as is done here in Dawson. 1t is be
coming a live question in some towns
not far from here, and the Eufau'a
Times contributes this to the discus
sion:
Both Dothan and Montgomery are
having trouble about the water and
light meter question. They have
been forcing the customer to pay fol-
the meter, that is, the scales, on
which to measure the goods they sold
him. Eufaula furnishes meters to al
its customers free of cost, and ther
supplies the city with all lights, wate1
and gas without charge. After doinE
this the plant more than pays it
running expenses and the interest OF
the bonds for its erection. If thest
towns would be a little more liberia
in dealing with their customers the,
would perhaps give better satisfac
ton and come nearer being asset
than liabilities to their respectiv
towns"
Cannot Dawson do as well by he
citizens as Eufaula does by hers? w
believe she can, and after thinkin
over the matter will abandon the Gus
tom of making the citizen who buy
his own water and light also pay 70
having it measured out to him.

Do The Poles Shift?

The fossils of animals and plants
brought back by the Scott expedition
from the vicinity of the South Pole
seem to confirm the theory that at
least twice during the life of this
hoary old earth the equator ran
through what are now the poles, and
that the poles at those times were
situated at opposite points on what is
now the equator.
Scientists have long puzzled over
the finding in the age-old ice of ST.
IBERIA almost perfectly preserved skel-
etons and even skins of the masto
don-certainly an animal of the tenn
perate or the torrid zone. And geol-
ogy tells us that all over the present
temperate and torrid zones are evil
dences of the work of glaciers.
1t being true, therefore, that in
remote times tropical vegetation and
huge herbaceous animals fiourished
in what appear to be the regions of
eternal snow and ice, and it being
equally true that the valleys and
mountainsides of the present temper
ate and equatorial regions were once
covered by masses of ice hundreds OF
feet thick, isn't the theory tenable
that as the ages pass the polls grad
ually shift from point to point?
And what has been will be again.
AS a writer suggests, millions of
years hence Arctic explorers may be
striving to reach the North Pole, sit
uated, perhaps, where Caracas now
is. while Northern Greenland may be
the site of the worlds greatest me-
tropolis.

A Heavy Tax on the South.

The Triton Gazette states a timely
truth when it says:
Considerable loss is sustained
by Southern farmers who buy
Western mules from the number
that die before they become accli-
mated. No matter whether the
animals death occurs while it is in
the hand of the dealer or after
it has been sold to the farmer the
loss falls on the man who buys.
1t will cease to be an item in keep
ing the South poor when the
Southern farmer learns to raise his
own mules"
Terrell is one of the largest pur-
of mules of any county in
Georgia, and has sent hundreds OF
thousands of dollars to other states
for them. 1t is gratifying to note,
however, that a few of our farmers
are beginning to pay some little at
tention to raising stock. In the vi
cinity of Parrot there are said to be
a dozen or so as fine and promising
mule colts as were ever seen any
where.

4 WOMAN AND HER HEART.

BY Charles Grant Miller.
One of the leading women in New
York's social 400 sat on the asphalt
pavement on Fifth avenue, holding in
her lap the head and soothing the
pain of one of her horses that had
slipped, broken a blood vessel and
was dying.
1t wasn't a digniffed or correct ~
attitude for a great society lady
was it? Hundreds of fine ladies
swept by in their automobiles and
carriages, stared in amazement and
exclaimed: How shockingly improp-
er,' But what must the angels have
exclaimed?
The thin, shiny veneer of conven-
tionaIity had fallen away, and a
great. true, warm heart was exposed.
She had for the moment ceased to be
the fine lady and had become the real
woman.
The spectacle of one Of the leading
women of the SWEETEST social set in
the land sitting on the pavement Of
the country's most fashionable thor
oughfare, easing an injured horses
death pangs, may lack dignity from
some viewpoints, but from the true
humanitarian viewpoint it has SUI
preme dignity that is borrowed from
high heaven.

District School Trustees,

A number of our contemporaries
in printing the names Of the district
school trustees recently appointed by
Governor Brown have made the mis-
take of including in the Third dis
trict list the members from Terrell,
Randolph, Clay, Quitman and Turner
counties. While these counties have
been transferred from the Second to
the Third congressional district they
are, as has been stated in The News
before, still in the group of eighteen
counties (the old Second district
for which the school at Triton was
established. The matter was discuss
ed when the bill to redistrict the
state was before the legislature, and
inasmuch as there were eleven dis
trict agricultural schools and there
would be twelve congressional dis
tricts it was decided, and provided,
that the territory of each of the dis
trict schools should remain the same
as when the institutions were estab-
lished. Otherwise, it would have been
necessary to have left one of the dis
tricts without a school or to have
erected new one for the Twelfth
district.

WOMEN AND CIVIC PROBLEMS.


From the Savannah News.
Men folks generally recognize that
they have not the same faculty for
accomplishing good results in work
ing for civic betterment and civic
beauty that women have. The argu-
ment that men are too busy making
living to give much time to other
matters will not bear inspection,
since the women who usually lead in
efforts to make the city more beau
tiful and a more desirable place to
live in are usually a city's best house
wives, who give a great amount of
attention to their own homes. Yet
they get results when they tackle
problems outside the home that very
often stump" the men. The prob
lens of housekeeping are in larger
sense very much the problems of the
city. Too often such civic problems
are left to solve themselves, with the
result that they are seldom solved.
With the women tackling them,
however, it is safe to predict speedy
improvement.

Whittier Are We Drifting?

Some years ago James J. Hill, the
great developer of the West, warned
his countrymen that the time was
fast approaching when the United
States would be dependent on a for
eign food supply. The prophecy was
ridiculed then, but statistics recently
issued by the bureau of foreign COM
merce Indicate that it may come true.
1t appears that in 1912 we export
ed but 1000 cattle as against 1914
600 in 1911. 277OOO in 1908, 494,-
600 in 1906 and $4,000 in 1904.
In value the shipments dropped from
$41.0OO.OOO in 1904 to 100000
in 1912. On the other hand, our
imports of cattle have jumped from
a negligible 16, 900 nine years ago to
100000.
1t is distinctly evident that we are
no longer feeding ourselves, that we
are becoming more and more inter
nationally interdependent. The most
serious side of the matter is the con.
slant depletion of stock on the Ameri
can farms. In the last five years the
numerical strength has dropped from
72.5OO.O 600 to 5S,OOO.000.

The Public Buildings Bill,

Tie bill recently passed by the
lower house CT congress providing
for the erection and improvement OF
government buildings in certain
towns throughout the United States
is meeting with more or less criticism
and opposition. The Macon News,
for instance, says of it:
"One of the last official acts of
President Taft is expected to be a
veto of the public buildings BILL"
says a Washington dispatch. In
the palmiest days Of pork barrels
and log rolling, veteran members
of congress say, no bill containing
so many gratuities ever before
passed congress-"
The vote in the house shows that
republicans and democrats alike
Joined in rushing through a meas

of items for buildings which are
not needed and which were put in,
in many instances, to induce rep
resentatiVes to vote for it that 9TH
erwise would not have done so.
There will be little sympathy for
the log rollers" if Mr.. Taft should
veto the bill.
All bills of this character SAVIOR
more or less of what is termed the
pork barrel" and it is fair to as
sumo that the present one is no more
Objectionable in that particular than
hose of former years. In view of
ne fact that a great many towns

lave already been taken care of, it
will be manifestly unfair if Dawson
