Memorial to Mrs. Wilson,

At the Women's Missionary Confer
ence of the Southern Presbyterian
Church, held at Montreet, N. c., it was
decided to erect a memorial TO Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson. 1t Is to be known as
the ELLEN Wilson Fund for the Chris
tian Education of Mountain Youth "
Since her death il has been discovered
that Mrs. Wilson was deeply interested
in the mission work among the noun
tain people of Kentucky, Tennessee, Vir
ginia, West Virginia and the Carolinas,
and manifested this interest by her gen.
erous contributions. She was paying
for the education of several mountain
children from year TO year. Before her
illness Mrs. Wilson had begun a move
ment intended to provide large num-
Der of these children with better educa-
tional and religious advantages.

INsTRUcTs AMBASSADORS.
Secretary Bryan Tells Diplomats
Abroad How to Conduct Affairs.


Abroad How to Conduct Affairs.
Washington.-Secre Bryan issued
instructions to diplomatic and consular
officers of the United States who have
been intrusted with the interests of
the nations now at war.
Few realize the delicate position of
this office. the duties suddenly thrust
upon them and the consequent amount
of labor they are compelled to per-
form.
United States diplomatic and consul
ar officers are serving the interests of
Germany, France, Belgium, Russia.
Great Britain. Austria and Japan.
In the instructions sent out by Sec
rotary Bryan the American represent
atives are cautioned to not overstep the
straight line of their duties for fear 1t
would make the neutrality of the Unit
ed States appear partial. The instruc-
tons said. i'm part: Bear in mind the
general usages of nations In relation
to the functions exercised by you on
all such occasions"
Further, the instructions added. "The
care and protection of the interests of
the nations for whom you are acting
are based upon the consent of both for
eign governments concerned. This
consent may be withdrawn at any time
by either or BOTH"
Another instruction, "Bear in mind
you are the representative of neu-
trail power whose attitude toward the
parties to the conflict is one of i'm
partial amity."
An explanation by state department
officials of the instructions showed that.
in the main, the attitude of the repre-
sentatives of the United States acting
for the belligerents is that of q vehicle
Of communication; also to protect the
property and natives of the nations for
whom they are acting.
In this. connection the instructions
state that before seeking recourse to
the raising Of the American flag over
the embassy, legation or consulate of
the nations for whom they are acting
as a means of protecting them strong
representations should be made to the
government in whose territory the
property may be located and that ne
cessity may be avoided.

The Curse of The Crown.

Kaisers INDUCED in the luxury of slaugh-

There is no way to measure exactly
how much less daily income all the peo-
pie of the United States have than they
had on August /, but there has been a
decrease. Hence the war makes you
pay more for the things you buy, and
takes away from the average person a
little money with which to do the buy

Ironically. Again, daily milk record
enables dairyman to detect the ap-
proach Of sickness in a COW and thus to
take steps to ward it off.
The record of the herd is a matter
OF the utmost Importance. The high
est degree Of success cannot be at
tanned unless dairymen know the pro-
ductive capacity Of each individual
cow. This is necessary as a guide to
rational treatment and to insure the
greatest profit. The record should
include not only the dairy performance.
but concise history and description
of each animal. The former requires
q daily record of the milk yield of
every COW and fat test of several con-
secutive milkings, if accurate records
are to be secured. Samples for this
test may be mixed and this composite
sample" tested, thus obtaining the
average. The method is easily learned
and practiced. With the percentage
Of fat taken periodically and sum-
mary of the daily yield of milk, the
dairyman has a full record of produc-
ton for every COW in his herd. To give
still more complete knowledge there
should also be a record, at least ap-
proximately accurate, showing the cost
of the feed consumed by each COW, so
that the economy Of production may be
shown.
The scales and the Babcock test are
essential requisites for every true
dairyman. One dairyman's COWS may
produce twice the yield and return
double the profit of those of another
with the same market, simply because
he used greater intelligence In his bust
ness.
Accurate and continuous records are
show the impracticability of trying to
determine the profitable cows by mere
guesswork. One dairyman found the
cow he had picked out for best to be
fifth on his merit list when actual rec
ords were taken.
The time and expense required In
keeping records are small compared
with their value. In some instances
one minute to a COW at each milking, or
two minutes day, has been found suf-
ficient to record the weight of the milk
and take the sample. On this basis
when milk is weighed and tested every
seventh week, as Is customary with
some dairymen. only one hour and
thirty-eight minutes would be required
amount of time expended reasonably
accurate record can be secured of every
cow in the herd.

The Cost of SiIaae.

A field of corn that will yield from
fifty to sixty bushels to the acre will
make anywhere from eight to ten tons
of silage per acre as it comes from the
silo. A silo sixteen feet in diameter
and thirty-two feet high will hold
about $50 tons of silage. This would
take about fifteen acres of corn to fill
Can you imagine any other way of get
ting 100 tons of green, succulent feed
at such small outlay Of expense? OF
course there is the expense of putting
up the silo. which must be taken into
consideration, but many of our practi-
cal and experienced feeders figure that
the saving by virtue of the silo is about
S1.50 per ton. or, in other words, prac-
tically enough to pay in single season
the cost Of constructing the silo In
many instances.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Hard to Believe.

The following is mighty hard to be-
lieve, yet the Bardstown Standard vouch-
es for it:
Some excitement was caused in the
neighborhood when Henry Grubbs, who
lives on Harry Murphy's farm. about
six miles from Bloomgeld, purchased a
horse from some traveller for S35. He
turned the horse loose in his backyard
and it walked around 10 the front, came
in the front door, laid down on the bed
and died. His nose came just to the
edge of the bed and his legs were bent
at the knees, giving him very human
appearance. The cause of the horses
death is unknown"

United States Almost hide
pendent In Mineral
Resources.

PROBABLY no other nation in the world
so nearly approaches absolute independ
ence in respect TO mineral resources as
the United States.
A glance at the statistics of mineral
imports affords a means of comprehend
ing in broad way how great and com
pick is the task of attaining national in.
dependence in the mining, metalurgical
and chemical industries.
Last year the imports of mineral pro,
ducts, both crude and manufactured,
exceeded S27O, 100000. OF this total,
probably $500, 600, 600 represents raw ma
terials and crude metals, the value oi
these imports being about S per cent. OF
that of the domestic output In this list
of imports the larger items named in the
order of value are manufactured cop.
per, precious stones, nitrate of sofa,
copper ore ard matte, nickel, tin, iron
ore, pig iron and steel, petroleum pro-
ducts, manganese ores and alloys, plat
mum, aluminium, pyrite, graphite, stone,
potash and magnesite.
This country has an abundant supply
of most of these mineral products that
are now imported in large amounts, and
as to them it can be independent of for
eign countries. The only essential min
erals of the first rank of which the Uni
ted States has no known supply at all
commensurate with its needs are nit.
rates, potash salts, tin, nickel and platin-
UNI, the list thus comprising two essen
tial mineral fertilizers and three very
useful metals.

The condition Of the farming indus

to the need of better business methods
and more definite knowledge of the
sources of profit and loss. In no de.
partment connected with the farm Is
there more need for absolute data than

that of dairy farming.
Records of the performances of dairy
cows form the only accurate and safe
basis for judging their value. 1t is the
constant aim Of progressive dairymen
to improve their herds, and such i'm
