Protected Morkmen Not Afraid.

While the unbridged and perhaps
unbridgable gap between Republicans
and Progressives is the obvious pri-
mary cause of the Democratic victory
in the thirteenth Massachusetts con-
gress district, it is right for President
Wilson to congratulate and to be con-
graduated on that triumph. 1t shows
that his popular mandate is as strong
as ever 1t shows that the old pro-
lection bugbears cannot brighten the
workmen in certain protected indus
tries whose protection is cut off or
cut down by the Democratic tariff bill
of 1913.

pany is the only real obstacle to the
formation Of shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start in
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number of shoes he makes-an
average Of less than 2 2-3 cents a pair
and let us keep them up to date.
That is fair arrangement Some Of
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fell
lows stand with US because they know
we treat all manufacturers alike no
matter how many machines they use.
If 1t were not for our methods of doing
business there would be no small fac

When farm buildings are so incon-

several unnecessary miles every day
to do the chores, many dollars worth
of time is lost.
al know of one farm, particularly,
that was arranged solely for con-
venience," said j. H. Miller, dean Of
the extension division. 1.-THE barn was
moved within 200 feet of the house in
stead of 400 feet, as it had been. The
interiors of the various buildings also
were rearranged and made as handy
as possible. If you figure the result OF
this closely you will find that thus

years on his own time, or in 10 years

men. These figures. though approx
mate, show the value of systematic
plan of things on the farm
The house should be on the highest
elevation of any of the buildings. and
should be protected on the north by
a windbreak, which in turn serves to
protect the orchard from the south.
An east front for the house is very
desirable.
The barn is the center of operations
and about it should be grouped the
ather buildings in the most con-
venient places The barn should be
situated SO that the northwest and
southwest winds will not blow over
the barnyard toward the house. For
this reason, 1t is best to have the barn
and yards east Of the house. The
barn should be open to the north and

to the south in order that the south
winds may blow through. 1t should
serve as windbreak for the yards.
Ordinarily, the cribs and granary
should be near the barn and the hog
and cattle yards. Let the hog house
have a south front and be so situated
that feed may be brought from the
granary to the feeding floor by means
of track and carrier. 1t is best to
have the machine shed west of the
barn and wagon yards.
1t is very essential that the we'll be
above the cattle and hog lots, or al
least not in drain from them. Have
the dairy close to the pump so as to
be handy to fresh water.

If the Democratic leaders, in their re-

to leave this check plat, knowing that
the methods recommended by the
demonstration men are preferable and
believing that it would be a distinct
loss to farm according to the ordinary
methods.
In addition to this definite line OF
work. the demonstration men are
urging improved live stock both for
beef and GARY purposes and are rec
ommending the purchase and use OF
pure bred sires both Of the beef and
dairy type, to breed up and increase
the herds already in existence. There
seems to be a tremendous interest in
dairy and beef cattle, but there is lit
tie money or credit to invest in stock.

operatively employed by the
Kansas Agricultural College, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, and the
railroads, the Rock Island cooperating
in the case of Clyde Mckee and the
Santa Fe in the case OF George
Thompson. These agents have been
cordially received in the territory to
which they have been assigned and
there is little or no opposition to the
work. Indifference is noticed only
here and there and the great majority
of farmers and business men are glad
to have their services in western Kan
sas and are willing to cooperate in
every way, both in Offering farms for
demonstration work and in supplying
funds for local expenses. Each man
has about forty co-operators already
selected (the desired number) who
will undertake definite demonstra-
ton work in soil and crop manage
ment and many more are planning to
handle their land according to his
recommendations even though he will
not have time to visit them more than
once or twice year.
Four fundamental demonstrations
are planned, namely:
1. Spring blowing and summer fal.
low for wheat.
2. Spring listing and summer fall
low for wheat.
8. Early discing and listing to the
inter-tilled crops, kafr, milo, sweet
sorghum or corn.
4, Early spring listing followed by
listing to kafr, milo, sweet sorghum
or corn.
The two latter demonstrations are
by far the most popular, showing that
the farmers are beginning to have
more faith in forage and feed crops
and live stock than in wheat. Each
man is urged to leave check plat to
be handled according to the usual
practices in the extensive agriculture
of western Kansas; but, in many
cases, the co-operator does not want

listing, more rough culture and less
pulverizing Of the soil and by spread
ing straw and manure as surface
dressing on the land. The agents re-
port that the people of western Kan
sas, with only few exceptions, are
courageous, hopeful and enthusiastic
and that it is a pleasure to work with
them.
The presence of the demonstration
agent In these communities is acting
as a leavening influence and it is be.
lieved that the result of their work
will be lasting and will mean much
both in the development of better
agriculture and in the promotion of a
finer home life for the region.

/ No one, however, is asked to go into
dairying on large scale Immediately
but to secure two or three good ami
mails from which to start a herd and
then to develop the herd slowly and
naturally from this foundation stock.
This conservative method is urged in
order that there may be no failures on
the part of the people who are over
enthusiastic about dairying and who
know nothing about the business. The
same is true in the recommendation
OF the development of the beef in
dustry.
The demonstration men are also &C
tive in pushing the silo propaganda
wherever there are sufficient number
of cattle to justify the placing Of a
silo on the farm. AS a result of less
than six weeks work, one of the men
reports that at least seven silos will
be built on his recommendation one
five and the other four. One of these

trlbution in small quantities later
throughout the district. The other
two agents are also emphasizing the
value of pure seed and careful seed
selection in order to produce early
strains of milo, kafir and other
sorghums.
In addition to these definite recon-
mendations the men are working in
cooperation with schools in planning
for definite demonstrations on small
plats and in organizing boys and
girls clubs and contests. They are
also continually called upon for farm
advisory work and this has already

GIRLS CANNING CLUBS

SINCE Lee county had a represent
alive and successful boys corn club
last year, the first year Of the club S
organization here, with the pros
poets of much better one this year,
why cannot a gills' canning club be
organized this year?
This work goes hand in hand with
the corn club work. The corn club
in Lee county should prove a great
er success each year, if it receives
proper support. Consequently the
need Of girls canning club ismade
all the more imperative. There
should be some field Of wholesome
useful activity for the girls as well
as the boys, and no more useful ac-
tivity can be found for the girls in
the stimulation Of interest in house
hold duties and home economy than
that suggested by the canning club.
County School Commissioner
Howell has given his loyal support
to the boys corn club for the year,
and he is to be highly commended
