Indiana Needs More Beef Cattle

In discussing the subject of beef
cattle, F. G. King, OF the Animal Hus-
bandry Department, Purdue Expert
ment Station, says, Indiana needs
more beef cattle. ANY system OF
farming whereby the fertility of the
soil is allowed to decrease must re-
suit in improbable farming. Econo-
mical maintenance of the soil demands
that the rough feed of the farm be
consumed by live stock. Cattle are the
mCst efficient animals for conversion
of roughage into a product that is sal
able without great loss of soil fertility
In addition TO the value of cattle for
disposition of rough feed and main
tenance of soil fertility. seven years
experience at Purdue Experiment Sta
ton has shown that there has been ap-
proximately $4,000 profit per steer
from feeding cattle. The profit of cat
tie feeding, however, depends on the
selling price of the finished product
Assurance for a comparatively high
market for some time to come can be
found in the general high market for
some time to come can be found in
the general shortage of beef through
out the country. The last decade has
seen an increase of more than 20 per
cent in the beef consuming pubic of
America and has also witnessed an
actual decrease in the number of beef
cattle. The supply OF feeder cattle
purchased on the market in 1912 has
been approximately 9 per cent less
than in 1911. When it is borne in mind

cent Richmonds experience with the school
bonds has simply shown that the conditions af-
fecting the New York bond market are funda-
mental and nation wide.
Rather than sell the S35, 900 worth Of bonds
recently offered, to the Fletcher-American bank
of indianapolis at $500 discount, this paper be-
lieves the school board should substitute is
sue of bonds bearing Az or Az per cent inter-
est and seek to sell them to the citizens of Rich
mond for whatever premium above par they are
willing to offer.
The present issue contains no bonds of lower
denomination than $500 In the New York bond
market hundred dollar denominations becom-
ing quite frequent and referred to as baby
bonds. They are justly popular with that large
class of people who have or two hundred dol
lars to invest but not five hundred thousand
Richmond proportionately has large class of
people who can and will take one or two hundred
dollar bonds where it is financial impossibility
for them to go as high as five hundred dollars.
By calling for what might term "underwrit-
ing" bids on hundred dollar denomination bonds
in advance of the printing of the issue, the school
board would be able to arrange for as many bonds
of that denomination as there would be a de-
mand for, and the balance of the issue could be
turned over to the bid of those investors who care
for larger denominations.
With Philadelphia just concluding very
cessful popular offering of city bonds in cam
pagn in which even the department stores sold
bonds over their counters, there is no reason why
the civic spirit of Richmonds investors should
not be put to the test providing that the existing
conditions governing the bond mar
ket are observed.

One-Man Rule Again.

Democratic floor leader Underwood's rule in
the lower house must recall to the memories of
some of the older members of that body the days
when Joe Cannon ruled supreme. In fact so su-
preme was his rule to bring about revolt
which resulted in shearing the speaker of nearly
all his authority. Among the most active in this
historic legislative revolution were the members
of the Democratic minority who aided and abet-
ted the progressive Republicans in every move
of their successful campaign against Cannonism
Today the speaker is much figurehead as
Cannon was after the house reVolutionists had
completed their operation on his powers and pre-
negatives, but under the present Democratic
regime one-man rule, equally as bad as the one
the Democratic party helped to destroy a few
short years ago. is being fostered by that party
The authority vested in the speaker is now
being yielded to the majority floor leader.
What truly Cannon-ike spectacle was Rep
Underwood's action of compelling the Democratic
caucus to adopt resolution prohibiting the in
PRODUCTION of any further legislation during the
present extraordinary session of congress, except
such legislation as the floor leader desired to have
introduced.
This resolution, further, suspended that rule
adopted by the Progressive Republican-Demo-
cratic insurgents after the political decapitaton
of Speaker Cannon, which permitted the house
to call out of committee any bill after it had been
in the hands of the committee stipulated length
of time.
This rule, which for the time being has been
shelved, was regarded of the most splendid
fruits of the victory over cannonism and it's
pension can only be regarded as a decided step
backward.
Without this rule there can be no such thing
as free and untrameled representation in the low
er house for subserviency to the boss-controlled
majority caucus becomes almost complete.
1t appears to be about time for another revo-
luton in the house but the prospects for one are
very slight. Democratic representatives must be
good if they are to get their 'pickings" and the
minority is too small to accomplish any results,
so Underwood continue to in peace the
crown snatched from the pate of Uncle Joe Can
non.

NATURES MIRACLE

A miracle of Nature this
The apple trees all bare
Until they feel the south winds kiss,
Then not twig does blossom miss,
Their bloom is everywhere
And with this bloom the south wind plays,
Tossed into wave-like roll.
All white beneath the suns bright rays
That gives that whiteness as sun stays
And takes it's spring time toll
And now at ninety in the shade
Fast falls the boom-tide snow,
The grass all white by it is made,
Where apples will in fall be laid
When blooms to apples grow.
Year after year this change we see
And yet it's always true
That though live three score to be
This miracle of apple tree
Will be vision new.
