BUILDING $4,000 CATTERY.
Woman to Have Luxurious Home For
Hor Prize Winners.


Mrs. Clifford B. Harmon is con-
structing at Indian Harbor, near Green
wich, Conn.,, what is to be the most
complete home for cats in this country.
Mrs. Harmon, q noted cat fancier, is
bent upon having a home de luxe for
her twenty-eight cats and twenty-four
kittens, many of them noted prize win
nerS.
Before the laborers were set at work
on the foundation for her new $4,000
'cattery" Mrs. Harmon broke the
ground in the presence of a large com
pany, including Commodore Benedict
and Thomas Hastings of Carrere &
Hastings, the architects Of the build
ing. The "cattery" is to cover more
than two acres on Commodore Bene-
diets property at Indian Harbor
There are to be eight rooms, with
nineteen cat runs. Hot and cold wa
ter, electric light, gas for cooking, two
baths, kittens nursery, steam heat
and other improvements are deemed
necessities. In addition there is to be
seven room cottage for Mrs. Il. Y.
Mathis, who has been associated with
Mrs. Harmon for three years and who
has been breeding famous cats for
about ten years.

KNOW YOUR COWS.
Cow Testing Clubs are Very Neces-
sary to the Success of the Dairy
ing Business.

National Crop improvement Service.l
The demand for dairy products of
all kinds is increasing faster than
the supply. This must result in high
prices for the raw material. The
farmer will receive good prices for
cream. This ought to be an incen-
tive to every farmer who is situated
SO that he can produce more good
cream to keep more cows and better
ones. Don't be afraid of OVERRIDING
the COW business The good COW is
the best Investment on the, farm.
Why not have more of a good thing?
Thousands of dairymen have owned
and handled cows nearly all their
lives and yet are poor Judges of
cows. The reason for this is that
the knowledge which they have
gained from their experience is super
fetal. They have never compared
their judgment OF experiences with
actual records or tests They have
vague conception Of the type of a
good dairy COW, but II is based more
upon their personal opinion than
upon evidence or fact Dairymen
are coming to a better realization of
the fact that milk producing qualities
in COW are accompanied by gen.
eral conformation that Is quite char
acteristic Dairymen who make
nice profit from the business fam
iliarize themselves with the general
characteristics of a good dairy COW,
and make careful study di tho re-
lation they bear to econopical pro-
AUCTION.

The latest English idea in freak din
nerS Is to provide the guests gifts with

into the soup plates the guests were
presented with the empty bowls.
The fish provided a startling sur
prlsed. Boiled trout was served, and
for some time the guests were unable
to discover anything unusual about the
course. At last somebody found the
trinkets concealed in the mouth of the
trout All the fish had rings, brooches
and other small articles of jewelry con-
cealed IN their mouths.
The Emb outlets, which were served
'as an entree, had charming enameled

SOIL THE FOUNDATION.
How to Get 100 Bushels of Corn to
the Acre.-Advice From H. A.
McKeen, Secretary Illinois
Farmers Institute.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
Thorough preparation of seed bed
and intelligent selection of seed, and
good cultivation are vitality essential,
and must be employed, but to at
tempt to grow the 100 bushel crop
by these methods alone is like trying
to build house by constructing the
roof before laying the foundation.
The foundation of 100 bushel per
acre crop is fertile soil; soil con-
tanning sufficient plant food elements
to produce such abundant crops-a
soil SO intelligently drained that
these elements in plant food solution
shall not be weakened by overdilu-
ton.
We must learn the simple lesson
that wherever the necessary mineral
elements of plant food are deficient,
whether it is because they were never
deposited in sufficient quantity by ma
ture, or whether they have been ex-
hausted by erosion, or repeated crop
ping, it must not only return them in
their natural form, but must make
them available for plant food by sup
plying organic matter in abundance.
No considerable increased crop yields
will be realized until these facts are
thoroughly understood"
In the counties which have already
organized a Farm Bureau, soil i'm
provement is the first step usually
undertaken, and a committee on soils
one of the first to be appointed.

LOBBYING is DEAD
AS A PROFESSION
President Says Il viii Soon Be
CIdSSad with DOdO.
INQUIRY TO Be PUSHED.

Officials Aroused by Charges Made by
Colonel Martin M. MuIhaIl Against
National Association OF Manufacture
ers-Lobby Out of Business In Capt.
toI Is General Opinion.
The lobby is out of business so far as
national legislation is concerned. 1t
mas ceased to embarrass the admins
tration. When the present investiga-
tion ends lobbying as profession will
be classed with the dodo and other
things extinct.
That is the view taken by President
Wilson. When he saw the newspaper
correspondents following the recent ex-
pose of the lobby in Washington fos-
tered by the National Association of
Manufacturers, the president wore an
expression that was distinctly one of
pleasure at the revelations. His first
remark indicated that he was greatly
pleased with the latest lobby develop
ments, although he did not care to dis
cuss them in detail.
Discusses the Expose.
The president made it very plain that
he is behind the move for a full and
complete inquiry into every phase of
the question. He believes that the
charges Of Judge Lovett and others that
an attempt has been made to hold up
Wall streets interests on behalf of GER
tain lawyers, that the National Associa-
ton Of Manufacturers crushed or made
congressman at the whim of its officials
and that subterranean methods have
been used in creating terrorism in ma
tional legislative halls should all be
thoroughly investigated And the presi-
dent himself is the authority for the
statement that the public must know
the truth, no matter who may be be-
smirched or what their political belief
may be.
President Wilson briefly discussed
the Mulhall charges made recently
against the National Association Of
Manufacturers, which have since had
wide circulation.
When Mr.. Wilson made his first dec
laration that "a numerous and insidi-
Gus lobby" was operating in Wash
ington he had no idea that such
charges as made by Colonel Martin
Mulhall would be brought out, but he
said he was in favor of investigating
all charges and had no doubt the SEN
ate committee would have a free hand
The president told his callers the accu-
sations in the Mulhall statement had
been called to his attention just before
their publication.
A Searching Investigation.
A searching investigation not only
by the senate lobby committee, but by
a select committee Of the house also,
promises to be the first result Of the
charges made by Mulhall, who has
been the general field lobbyist" for
the National Association of Manufac-
trrers.
Mulhall's allegations that represent
atives, senators and high officials of
the government had been reached"
or Influenced" and that the '1obby"
conducted its operations from room in
the capitol, paid money to employees
there, took an active hand in making
the committees and went out actively
in the political campaigns to defeat
congressman who opposed legislation
the "lobby" wanted have thrown con-
gressional circles into an uproar.

HOW To REPAIR AND MAINTAIN
THE ROADS.

The making of good roads is one
OF the most important duties Of the
American people and their prompt
repair aid careful maintenance is
essential. There is probably no sub
jcct in which the progressive farm
er is more deeply interested than
that of having roads connecting him
with his markets over which he may
be able to haul the greatest possible
load. Good roads, like all other
good things, are too expensive to
build and of too much value 20 be
neglected.
The offics of Public Roads of the
Department of Agriculture has pub
lished bulletin on Repair and
Maintenance of Highways" This
bulletin does not treat the subject
of road building, but takes up the
repair and care of roads after they
are built. All classes of roads, from
the natural earth road to the ma
cadam roads with bituminous sur
facing, have received attention. The
action of automobiles on road sur
faces is explained. The system Of
road management in Massachusetts,,
New York, England, and France are
given, with tables of costs.
The writer concludes that on
account of the use of heavier We
hicles and motor trucks the ten
dency of road building is toward a
heavier and more substantial founda-
ton and a consequent reduction of
the cost of maintenance.

sentative of which is Johnny, Of Chr

a lead. intends to go mining in search

that he intended to take his find to

there is NO reason why he should not

Larry may not cover as much
