ANNUAL REPORT
Being SENT OUT

The annual report Of Commission
-r Koiner for 1912 IS now coming
off the press. The report is very
interesting and valuable to the prac-
ucal farmer. Within its pages IS
gathered a vast amount OF new data

farmer would otherwise probably
neyer see. because ne has not the
opportunity 10 get il or does tot

missioner Koiner. being a practical
farmer himself. knows Just what
helps the farmer needs to increase

spirit OF encouragement TO the farmer
to give more thought 70 MS farming

This report is well illustrated.
Mr.. Koinsr was the first eommiss-
ioner in the south 70 illustrate his

that the agricultural values in Vir-

Of farms has Increased more than
20. 900 and the size OF the farms has
decreased from 2OO acres 20 100

important lesson that il pays better

and pupils must work together if |
anything like ideal conditions may be
expected. The teacher leads best
who works best and enthusiasm is
her best tool.
1t is easier to write to a member
of your school board and have him
send a man TO make some simple
repairs. such as putting in a few
window panes. building a stand for
water cooler and putting up window
shelves for plants, but have you not
done your boys a great injustice7
You could hardly teach your boys
anything more practical than TO find
the size Of the pane needed. write an
order for them and when received
carefully remove the sash and put
them in. Any teacher is ignorant of
what is being done if she gives any
excuse for not seeing that her boys
can do these things. unless she says
to herself that others can do that
work, but cannot.
Beautifying the school house and
grounds is best left to the teacher
and pupils. Ii is to them we look
for the accomplishment of this great
work. 1t is best that it is left to
them because its irfluence on the
minds and hearts of the children is
worth more. yes. ten thousand times
more. than i some one should give
enough money to have the work
done. Most Of Us are forced by
necessity 10 do things for ourselves
and we usually value the thing we
do more than the thing done for US
by some one else. This is Certainly
true of the self respecting and am
bilious person. 1t should be true of
: everyone. Instead of learning to
look for and appreciate charity we
= should learn to desPise it.

SOME INTERESTING
FARM STATISTICS
Director Durand Of Census Blu.
reau Gives Data Regarding
Mortgage Indebtedness.

Statistics with reference TO mort
gage Indebtedness of the farms OF the
United States are given In report
by Director Durand OF the bureau OF
the census department of commerce
and labor. The report was prepared
under the supervision of John Lee
Coulter. expert special agent for agri.
culture.
The total number of farms in the
United States operated by their own.
ers which were mortgaged in 1910 is
l,327.439: while 2621,2S3 were re.
ported as free from mortgage. These
figures show an increase since 1900 OF
III per cent In the number Of farms
mortgaged: and Of A per cent. In the
number of farms freed from mort.
gage. The report will show that 5S.-
lO4 farms were operated by managers
"A decrease OF IL per cent. since 1900
and 2,354,67G farms were operated by
tenants. an increase OF 16.3 per cent.
since 1900 No statistics pertaining to
mortgage Indebtedness were secured
for farms operated by tenants or hired
managers. 1t would be practically i'm
possible In many cases to reach the
owners OF such farms to ascertain the
facts.
The total value of the land and
buildings OF the 1,006.51 farms for
which both the fact Of mortgage in
debtedness and its amounts were re-.
ported was $G,300O00, and the amount
OF debt was sl,72G, 100000 or 27.3 per
cent of the value. The corresponding
proportion In 1890 as shown in the re-.
ports was 35.5 per cent There was
thus, during the twenty years a
marked diminution In the real import.
ance of mortgage debt on the farms
mortgaged. due primarily to the very
rapid increase In the value of the land
In farms. The average amount OF
mortgage Indebtedness per farm in.
creased from $l,224 in 1890 to $l.7l5.
in 1910. but the average value per
farm increased from $3,444 to s6.2S9
and therefore the owners equity per
farm increased from s2,220 to $4.574.
or more than double.

Get Paid for Bathing.

To promote health and comfort
among their 700 employees. Harrison
Bros. & Co.. of this city, have offered
to give every man employed at their
plant 10 cents each time he takes a
bath.
There are no strings to the offer. All
that is necessary is that the bath be
taken in the elaborately fitted bath
rooms OF the concern. As soon as a
workman finishes bathing he will re.
ceive check from an attendant. and
on pay day he may have the checks
cashed at the rate Of is cents apiece.
The idea was suggested by DR.. Fran
els D. Patterson. former chief police
surgeon Of this city, whom the COM
pany has secured to look after the well
fare of the men. DR.. Patterson is an

You can see the difference in the
thickness OF this matter by breaking

seem thin. almost like water while
the rest is thick and livery" 1t Is
this difference that causes the layers
TO separate in the boiled egg The
densest layer is next to the yolk, to
help In keeping It in It's place in the
middle OF the egg.
Lying close about the yolk itself is
still another layer, like thin, tough

This helps still further to protect the
golden heart Of the egg. the most
vitally important part OF the whole

coats should not be enough. through

n thick. twisted cord OF albumen. like
little rope. to steady It against Jars
or other violent movements. This is
called the "chalaze," and Is fastened
