Share Arrangements

for information. He says:
II will furnish the cows, hogs,
chickens, all the machinery ex-
cept a couple ofharrows in which

farm of 100 acres, with two sets
of improvements, and I am 60
ing to live in one and keep up
the place, doing such things as
fixing the fences, and doing all
the repairing on the buildings,
as we'll as keeping the tools
sharp and in condition. l will
also help in harvest. My son
has one team. / am going to
keep two mares and raise colts
from them, and he will have the
use of these mares in the spring
in putting in the crops. l fur
nish his wood for fuel. l also
furnish all the seed for seeding
down to grass and clover. The
question is, what sort of a share
arrangement can we enter into
that will make a fair distribu-
tion. 2"
The usual share arrangement
is for the owner of the land to
furnish the land. The renter
furnishes all of the labor. Each
furnishes one-half of the live
stock. In some cases the renter
owns the chickens, and in some
cases he also owns the horses,
but a strict business arrangement
would require that each party
should own half of everything in
the way of live stock. Such
items as threshing, rent of a
binder, if one is rented, binding
Irvine, and things of that sort,
are paid for out of the partner
ship fund. At the end of the
year the net profits are divided.
1t very often happens that the
tenant does not have enough cap
ital to furnish his half of the live
stock. In such cases it is not
uncommon for the land owner to
loan the tenant sufficient money
to enable him to buy his half of
the stock, taking his note for
same, and charging interest.
When dairying is, practiced, es-
pecially if on a large scale, the
tenant should have an extra al
lowance on account of the extra
amount of labor required, but ex-
cept in special farming of this
kind, the arrangement which we
have roughly outlined has proved
quite satisfactory.
Just what share arrangement
our correspondent can devise that
will prove workable and satisfac-
tory, we are at loss to deter
mine. We believe it would be
much wiser for him to adhere to
the general arrangement we have
outlined. His son, as we under
stand it, does not have much |
capital, and does not have the
equipment necessary to carry on
the farm. Why not sell to the
son a half of all the live stock,
taking his note for same? Let
him furnish all the labor, and
then divide profits. If the father
wishes to do some work on the
farm, the son could pay him a
fair price for it. We are inclined
to think that it would be much
better to enter into a straight
business arrangement of this sort
than to try to ascertain what
would be a fair share under the
conditions outlined by our cor
respondent. Clear-cut business
deals are just as important be-
tween father and son as between
two strangers.
If there are any of our readers
who are similarly situated, and
who have worked out a satisfac-
tory share arrangement with
their sons, we should be very
glad TO hear from them for pub

fostered by the late KING Edward VII
under the stress Of public opinion in
England.
What They All Wanted.
AS I made clear last weeS in my
story Of my secret mission TO the cap
tain Of the German cruiser Panther.
the Mosoccsn question showed Eng
land ready to back W France in war.
bat row came this meeting in the
Black Forest Germany pointing out to
and apparently convincing England of
.he greater advsniage cf German
English coalition. and France was
frozen OUT at least so Germany was
lea to believe, and win what error

ail too giarlng England, wi.n her tra-
dluoral shrevd aieenosa 70 make the
most profitable deh Germany rea-
soned. was not slow to SEQ The ad-
VANTAGE Of the German proposition.
In a nutshaIl it was this:
Germany must have TIE lawland
ports. Holland would not be adverse
to coming into the German federation.
Belgium would be adverse, but could
be snuNed out as easily MS candle.
But French public opinion would never
tolerate under any circumstances this
German aggression France would
fight, even though knowing It to be a
losing fight
So much for what Germany would
get out of it. Austria wants to round
up her empire in the Balkans Aus
tria was to have outlets in the Mediter-
ranean. England, for standing by Ger
many, was to be rewarded with French
Northern Africa and the Dutch East
India possessions. What was to be-
come of France? Reconstruction, par
titioning, possibly little Kingdom,
probably under the Orleans regime.
l know these things, for l possess
them in black and white. But what L
do not know is whether England en-
tered this memorable conference in
order to play the spy on Germany and
her Austrian ally in behalf of herself
and France, or whether she really ac-
ceded to the isolation of France tenn
porarily for secret purposes of her
own. knowing that Germany would not
be ready to strike for some time to
come. But 1 strongly suspect that she
dealt doubly with Germany and that
France knew of her ancient enemy's
to England within a very
few hours after Lord Haldane and
Winston Churchill had heard it, and
began forthwith to make herself as
ready as possible against the day when
Germany, her plans all perfected and
falsely relying on England's aloofness,
would try to put them into effect Do
you recall how Germany, at the very
beginning of the great war, began to
hurl her army corps upon France by
way of neutral Belgium? I cannot help
that to the last Germany felt
herself safe in so doins-secure in the
belief that England would not object
md all because of that secret meeting
IN the Black Forest I have told you of.

HEALTH TALKS.
By DR.. f. r. Daniels.
HINTS FoR WINTER HEALTH.

HINTS FOR WINTER HEALTH.
It is quite possible to have just as
good health during the winter as any
other time of the year All that is
necessary is good care. Our eating
is of extreme Importance during cold
weather, since at this time we need
more food than at any other season.
but at the same time we should avoid
overeating. Too much food is pro-
ductive Of even more harm than too
little food.
The Heat Producers.
In cold weather we need consider
ably more fat food; most persons do '
not eat enough fat. However, in Sc
lecting our winter diet, we should
avoid foods that are difficult to di-
gest. consequently, we should not use
fried foods, but should get our fats in
butter, cream, olive oil, bacon and
other fat meats. Fats may be added
as seasoning to any other foods after
cooking. but not before cooking.
Sweets are also valuable fuel foods:
but like the fats, they should not be
cooked into other foods The sweets
we get from fruits, especially dried
fruits, are the most wholesome.
Vegetables are Valuable.
Most persons fail to get sufficient
vegetables during cold weather. Green
vegetables are as valuable for food
as meat and potatoes. since they con-
tain the chemical salts by means Of
which the impurities of the body are
eliminated. If you want to avoid
rheumatism, catarrh, and many of the
spring disorders. keep your body free
from waste material during the win
ter by eating plenty Of vegetables, in
GLIDING raw vegetables. if possible.
Fresh Air.
We need more fresh air during the
winter than during the summer Our
living rooms should have thorough
airing several times a day. and our
bedroom windows should be thrown
wide open at night. Wooden under
wear especially the heavy kind. is
positively detrimental to health: it
renders the skin sensitive to the cold.
When we are indoors such underwear
overheats the body and causes us to
chill more easily when going out Of
doors. Light cotton underwear, with
heavy outside clothing. is best for
winter.

Germany she has a first-class work
man: Germany manufactures what
England needs. Germany's building Of
her navy was never meant as real
menace to Great Britain. It was sole
" means to impress the English that
Germany would make powerful and

Conversely. it was threat that she
would be a dangerous opponent.
Shoulder to shoulder. Germany and

They have. of course. never-mentioned
it in public. with all her gallantry,

out against Germany alone. To secure
Russia's friendship she loaned enor-

New York, July a--Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
Influences arising out Of the European
war situation have been plainly patent IN
American affairs this week. Besides de-
moralizing the security, grain, cotton and
coffee markets. the European imbroglio
has effected larger hnacial matters, while
at the same time rendering It prudent
for the country's leading stock exchange
as well as those at other cities TO sus-
pend business on Friday after having pre-
viously experienced a verttable flood OF
selling orders for European account, the
metropolis, therefore. having been during
most of the week the worlds one free
market
Naturally. security prices crumbIed,
and as We write the Treasury Depart
ment, as well as the nations Executive.
has indicated an intention to take steps
to protect the financial situation by using
the emergency provisions OF the Aldrich-
Vreeland emergency currency act and by
taking action to have the new Federal
Reserve Board start its work as soon as
practicable,
while It Is too early as yet to define
the full effects Of European conditions
upon domestic affairs It Is evident that
new business in export grain has been
brought to a standstill and cotton marke-
matters are very unsettled.
But as regards distributive trade and
Industrial movements the week has
brought forth some good trends, though
conservatism Is manifested in numerous
directions, and the crop situation is less
roseate than II has been.
However. there Is a good deal OF ir-
regularity in the reports. favorable In
dications that had existed at the East
having been more or less upset by the
war news.
Business failures for the week ending
July 80 were 266. which compares with
2e2 last week and 24s in the like week Of
