currency bill was made public by Rep
resentative Glass, chairman Of the
House committee on banking and cur
rency. It will be introduced in the
House and Senate after President Will
son has delivered in person his ad.
dress to Congress.
An outline Of the measure prepared
by Mr.. Glass states tnat 1t will be gone
over in detail for alterations, and sets
out that Its purposes is to accomplish
three principal objects:
Provision Of a means for redis.
counting commercial paper Of speci.
fled types.
A basis for elastic notes properly
safe-guarded.
Machinery for doing foreign bank.
ing business.
The measures essentials provide for
twelve or more federal reserve banks
which will rediscount paper, deal in
government securities, exchange and
conduct government fiscal operations.
National banks and such state bank
and trust companies as conform to
standards would be stockholders Of the
reserve banks. The government would
hold no stock.
The government would control the
federal reserve banks entirely through
federal reserve board of seven NOM
bers In which the banks would have
no representation. The board would
be composed Of the secretary Of the
treasury, secretary OF agriculture and
comptroller Of the currency as mem.
bers ex-officio. Four other members
would be chosen by the President and
confirmed by the Senate.
The national bank note circulation
would remain undisturbed and no pro-
posal is made in the bill for retiring
approximately $7OO.OOO,0OO two per
cent bonds upon which that note issue
now rests. An amendment or separate
bill to refund these bends into three
per cent bonds may be introduced
later.
In addition to the $7OO,000.0O0 ex.
listing national bank notes. not more
than 100000 in what are to be
known as federal reserve treasury
notes might be issued at the discre.
ton Of the federal reserve board, sole.
ly for the purpose OF making advances
to the federal reserve banks, which
would do no business with the public.
deal only with their member-banks and
receive deposits only from the United
States.
While the notes on their face would
purport to be the obligations Of the
United States, they would be required
to be secured by gold reserve Of 33
1.S per cent provided by the federal
reserve bank, and would be first and
paramount lien on the assets Of these
banks and would be redeemable In
gold on demand Of the treasury de-
partment at the city Of Washington
or any federal bank.

A Plea for the Boys.

People wonder why the boys want to
leave the farm and try their fortunes in
the city. There is little wonder when
tue matter Is looked into. Too little
effort is made to make the home attract
i've. The almighty dollar too often gets
in the way. Boys are not wild animals
they do not need pounding because they
do not do their work as we'll as older
persons. They have not had the expe
rience. Ons trouble is that maay farm
ers have too much to say about "big T.
in talking to their boys. Why not say
we or ours, in talking about the stock or
farm, and encourage the boys to say the
same? They will learn to take an inter
est. Subscribe for paper In their
name, and If there is something extra In
vegetables or stock, let them take it to
the fair, make the entries in their own
N lme, and If they chance to get premi-
um, let them have it TO do AZ they please
with; it will stimulate desire to attend
to the details of the farm, aud what Is
lost by letting them have the money will
be made up by the extra care they will
take in preparing for the next fair, and
IL will also increase the value Of both
the farm and the stock. Boys like .
little fun now and then. When work
crowds and they try to have a little
sport, don't scold 0r growl.-Selected.

No Need Of .dreen" Horses,

Thousands of green" horses ART
placed on our Eastern markets ever!
year-the expression "green" meaning
aubroksn and uneducated-truly an IN
fortunate condition.
Many of these horses are deplorably
ignorant, scarcely halter broken. Wher
hitched for the first time to parade be.
fore prospective buyer they plunge
and sQuirm enough To scare Oh theil
most enthusiastic admirers. Such 9
condition is no help toward quick sale
is rather q hindrance, aud certainly
depreciates greatly the value OF the ami
NAL.
Any young horse offered for sale, II
we'll broken and docile, is easily worth
$50 more to any buyer, whether he be a
dealer or private individual. This
fact should never bs lost sight of by the
breeder. He, Of all parties concerned,
should get all that is coming 10 him, and
the work attached to educating the colt
is 80 easy that it should never DO ntg-
lected.
Take all the harness breeds-drafters,
coachers OF trot,ers-they should be
halter broken at as early an age as posi-
BILE, even while they are running with
their mothers. Lead them q few times
alongside of her and the job is done
At two ears old any colt Is equal to the
task Of pulling harrow. Place 1t BE-
side au older and steadier animal and in
few hours it will be going as steadily
rs clockwork.
There is no better position in which
M M Tar
uuruly il may be, than this. The har-
row is light. The pull will not overtax
IT'S strength, and the older animal will
keep it's youthful ardor within bounds.
These first lessons in harness viii
never be forgotten. When seeding time
il over the colt should again be turned
out TO pasture, and need not be harness
ed again until the following year, when
again the harrow should be resorted to,
or even the plough. The colt is now
three years old, and after it has done its
share of the spring work in plough aud
harrow it may safely be placed between
I he shafts of wagon.
This simple course Of education is ad-
vocated only for the cheaper grade of
horses which breeder may desire to
dispose of as quickly as possible at the
least possible expense, and does not Gov
er the more advanced system required
to market the finished product OF car
riage horse or trotter at its highest value.
Observation and experience of many
years with green" horses has convinced
the writer that breeders lose greatly by
ueglecting these simple rudiments. Iu
these days, when motor cars are coming
from all directions and are whirripg
around corners unexpectedly, the aver
age man has no business to risk his life
in attempting to drive an ignorant or
unruly horse. The horse breaking
should be done in the country, where
there is scope to do it properly without
danger to man or beast.-Tribune Farm

Notes of the Sheepfold.

Sheep should DO graded according to
size, putting the primo ones in lot to
DO fed by themselves, aud II you are dc.
termined to keep the poor ones' put
them in q different lot aud do the best
you can with them.
Some farmers say they do not kesp
sheep because they are subject to DIS
ease, which is q great mistake, because
properly cared for sheep have fewer all
ments than any other farm animal.
No animal on the farm Is as dainty az
the sheep when it comes to drinking
water. 1t must be clean before the
sheep will touch 1t.
There is o,m for moro sheep on all
we'll drained farms.
Sheep will thrive wherever dry footing
may be found. Keep them Oh OF vel
lands.
Quiet, gentle handling OF the ewe'
during the winter makes It much easier
work 10 care for the flock during th'
lambing period.
Sheep can stand almost any degree o.
dry cold so long as their fleece is mo-
vet. 1t 10 necessary that sheep have
tight roof over their heads.
Glover hay Is an excellent feed TO
sheep, but alfalfa 10 better. Alfalfa y
not only higher in protein, but 10 NOR
relished. 10 the way Of forage plan
there 10 nothing better than good alfaii
hay for sheep.-Elizabeth Gregg, IA, II

The Habit of Putting Off.

Procrastination has been called great
fault of farmers, and no doubt the
charge is correct, but the fault OF put
ting off finishing task is no more com
mon among farm people than among
people not on farms. II is too common
in driving through the country to see all
sorts of IBIS Observation-Disclosures, barns,
fences; field half ploughed, . garden
only partly made, stock out In bad
storms because the yards and shelter
had not been made ready, and many
other evidences of an inclination on the
part of the farmer to put things OF. So
We have come to charge the farmer with
procrastiuation. We do not stop to
think, however. that the results OF. the
farmers efforts are open to the view ol
all, and that his mistakes In doing his
work are forc,bly impressed upon US.
Procrastination, instead Of being a
fault peculiar in large degree to farm
ers, is fault of many people In all walks
of life. The man who gets ahead in the
world is he who tackles q job and sees 1t
through to tho finish. He is not con-
stantiy changing his plans. When ne
starts TO build house or hen coop, be
knows what he wants aud gets just that
in spite of all obstacles. Was ever
task seen with loose ends on such mans
farm? To put of is easy; 1t grows TO DO
habit, and in the end habit that Is haro
to overcome.-Peter Snyder.
