RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIRES.

Fifty per cent. of the fires are due
to individual carelessness, and the
greater number to the carelessness of
women-careless women who will
clean gloves and gowns with gasoline,
benzine or naphtha in their homes
when they should know better; wo-
men who fail to take ordinary pre-
cautions in using oil or in managing
gas stoves; women who, though con-
sidered good housekeepers, allow &C
cumulations of rags, old clothes, ETC.,
in closets, gathering explosive dust
and lint.
Women must take up the work of
fire prevention in the home. That is
peculiarly and urgently the job of
women, the most important single
economic reform that faces them.
Individually they can do much by
stopping taking risks, by no longer
trusting to luck; but organization for
this work is also quite necessary.
Women have achieved remarkable
things through association, and it is
to be hoped that they will apply this
great force of association to the con-
servation of human life by preventing
fires that rage like a plague among
them.

A PLEA FOR THE cow.
The Progressive Farmer:

Inc Progressive FARMER.
The demand for the lower grades of
beef cattle, such as are produced in the
South. has been so great recently that
there has been an unusual movement
of cattle from the South to the slaugh-
tering centers. The causes of the in
creased demand for these lower grades
of cattle are not hard to find. Good
beef has risen to such price that it
has become necessary for the poorer
classes to look for cheaper meat pro-
ducts and canned cattle and canned
meat products have been in greater de-
mand. The Balkan wars have also
produced a larger demand for canned
meats which are made from the lower
grades of beef cattle, or, which
amounts to the same thing, from such
cattle as the South produces largely.
This increased price for our low
grade stuff is looked upon as great
boon by many cattlemen in the South,
and if the selling stopped with steers
and old COWS, this would be true; but
since the South is also being drained
of calves, heifers and cows, from which
the stock of the future should be pro-
duced we look upon the activity in the
shipping of Southern cattle in such
large numbers as serious matter.
If the South is ever to build up
beef cattle industry, it must be found
ed on the females we now have. We
will not buy better grade females, be-
cause we have not the money to do so,
and no country ever yet improved it's
beef cattle in that way. These females
being shipped to market because of the
high price they are now bringing ought
to be kept at home and bred to good
pure-bred bulls. This is the way we
must build up our beef production; and
it is a great pity that our people are so
short-sighted as to allow a slight adj
vance in price to induce them to sell
any female that will produce a calf.
The beef shortage is not going to pass
by in few months, nor in few years.
When there is once decided shortage,
as there is nova decrease of 80 per
cent in six years-it will take a good
many years to supply the deficiency A
COW bred now cannot produce calf
that will be ready for market under
two and a half to three years, and
there is no reason to look for cheap
cattle again under five or six years, if
indeed we ever see cheap beef again in
this country. We insist that every man
who has COW that is not profitable
dairy COW should breed her to a pure
bred beef bull We can buy the bulls
and raise thousands upon thousands of
good beef cattle at profit without les
sening our production of other money
crops. Why not give the pure-bred
beef bull chance to make money for
us instead of selling such cows as we
have to be slaughtered?
We may need the money now, but
we shall need the COWS more few
years hence.

SoYA BEANS MAY EQUAL
FLAXSEED.

| L
The Soya bean will in few years
supplant the COW pea as a forage and
Ifertilizing plant in the South.
Experiments in growing the Soya
bean now are in progress at the agri-
cultural experiment stations through
out the country. Seed was sent to the
stations by the educational bureau of
the Paint Manufacturers Association
of the United States last spring, these
were planted and the crop is about to
mature. In order to find what the re-
suits are l.. P. Nemzek, representing
the association, is making an extended
trip through the country, visiting each
experimental station and investigating
the experiments. Mr.. Nemzek was in
New Orleans Saturday, having return
ed during the day from the experiment
tai station at Baton Rouge. In speak.
ing of the Soya bean Mr.. Nemzek said:
| Some years ago paint manufacture
ers were confronted with the fact that
linseed oil was becoming so expensive
that it would soon be almost prohibit
tive in price for use in paints. A cam.
paign was started to grow faxseed,
from which the oil is manufactured,
and although the acreage was increas-
ed and the production of seed greater,
the demand grew faster. At present
the Dakotas, Montana and Nebraska
are the centers for growing flaxseed,
and not enough is harvested for the
linseed oil demands.
after casting about to find sub
stitute, experimenting with cotton-seed
oil, corn oil, perilla oil, hempseed oil,
ETC., the chemists of the association de-
cided that the Soya bean oil was the
best substitute, indeed, it has been pro-
nounced equal to Iinseed oil as COM
ponent part of paint.
1T was found that the Soya bean can
be grown in almost every part of the
United States, and from experiments it
has proved to be more profitable crop
than corn or COW peas for the farmer.
In an experiment made by DIR. Morgan,
director of the Tennessee agricultural
experiment station at Knoxville, it was
found that the Soya bean, when used
as food for beef cattle, produces al
most twice the weight that corn or COW
peas produce. In this experiment one
acre of corn, yielding forty bushels,
produced 200 pounds of beef from the
feed, while Soya beans eighty-five
bushels, and 40 pounds of beef.
From an agricultural standpoint it
is to the farmers advantage to grow
the Soya bean for the reason that in
stead of impoverishing the soil as corn
and cotton do, it builds it up. In fact
1t is one of the best liguminous crops
for this purpose that is known. It is
much superior to the cow pea in this
respect, because the returns from a
forage standpoint are greater and the
crop is easier handled. 1t is an excel
lent drought resisting plant, and also
yields big returns under abnormal
moisture conditions.
Zone beauty in reference to the Soya
bean is that the cake left, after the oil
has been extracted is superior to lin
seed or cotton-seed cake as food for
cattle, inasmuch as it lends itself to a
wider range as staple food, and the
meat produced by it is in excess to
other oil cakes"

Because all the students that. attend col

same manner. In China the study Of
medicine is centuries older. than in this
country, and it has always been custom
there TO go on discovering new reme-
