ent unsatisfactory condition OF bust
ness In this country has been brought
about largely because of the passage
of the Underwood tariff bill, which has
placed American labor In direct COM

Europe.
= "On July I, 1914, before the Euro
pean war was thought of, there was
a deficit of over s4o.oo0,oo0 in the
treasury of the United States. The
Democratic party was placed in con-
troll in every branch Of the national
government in 1912, upon the direct
with power they would reduce the
high cost OF living and that there
would be a continuance OF the pros
pcrity which had been enjoyed under
the previous Republican administrap
tions.
1.-THE new banking law was passed
and the Democratic tariff for rev.
enuev bill was also enacted into law,
with the result that instead of reduc-
ing the cost of living, the price Of
necessities has actually increased and
at the same time wages have been
reduced, and because of business
stagnation and the closing down OF
factories the American people have
less money to pay for actual neees-
stiles.

MOST VALUABLE ANIMAL CROP.
Horses Beat Either Cattle or Hogs
For Money.

Draft horses raised in Iowa exceed
in value any other product of the
farm, according to statistics which
have been compiled by Howard F..
Whitney, publicity agent for the state
agricultural society.
The value of the states draft hor-
SEES is greater by $60,000,O0O than
that of all the dairy and beef cattle
produced, and 100000 greater than
the worth of the hogs which the state
raises.
Iowa has now greater number of
pure bred stations registered than
any other state in the union, which
is held by the horse breeders to be
one reason for the great value of the
horses. The Iowa horses as a rule
are of exceptionally high grade stock
and therefore command high prices
in the best of the worlds markets.
Colt shows which are being held
all over the state with the coopera-
ton of the state agricultural college.
are credited with being a great slim
ulus to the draft horse breeding in
dustry At Some of these local colt
shows, animals have been discovered
which have scored higher than prize
winners at the hest shows.
Farm breeders are rapidly gain
ing the ascendalcy in Iowa over the
class of professional show horse
breeders, according to the informa-
ton Mr.. Whitney has gathered. At
the last state fair, of las draft horse
exhibits, 107 were entered by farm
ers. Farmers all over the state. he
has discovered, are giving more and
more attention to the raising of high
grade animals OF the heavy draft
horse type. They are finding this in
dustry in itself most profitable VEN
ture.

One Saloon That is Useful.

In the January American Maya
zine Peter Clark MacFarlane tells
true stories of several drunkards
who have succeeded in Kidding them
selves of the liquor habit. In the
course of his article he tells about
the Self-Master Colony at Elizabeth
New Jersey, where a great work is
being particularly for men
and women addicted to drink The
following extract from the article
explains the advantage to the colony
of a saloon across the street:
Across the road from the Colony
is Riley's-a typical country saloon
To the inmates of the Colony, Riley's
is a sort of testing machine. If q
man can sit on the Colony well curl
and look at Riiey's indifferently,-
as if it were an undertaker's shop
for instance,-h is getting along
If, on the contrary, at the squeak
and pouf of these swinging doors he
vets his lips and shades his eyes In
an endeavor to catch a glimpse OF
the forms at the bar-why, his re-
form is in no very prosperous state.
'All of which IS in accord with the
Self-Master idea. Indeed, while poor
weak men are continually taking
things from the Colony, rugs, tables
blankets, anything at all portable
and negotiable, and exchanging them
, for drinks at Riley's, / do not know
, that Mr.. Floyd would like Riley tC
move away. The men have to learn
to face the temptation of the road
side saloon when they go out. 1t ii
perhaps well for them to practice or
Riley's, which thus, all unwittingly
becomes part Of the Colony teach

RESULTS WITH KAFIR-CORN.
C.. BOIles i'm Farm and Fireside Says
Kafir Corn Will be Staple
Crop.

Through more or less of a novelty
in the East, Kafr-corn is coming to
be the staple crop in the Middle
West where the seasons are long
enough to mature it. From July /,
1912, to March /, 1913, 331 cars OF
Kafir-corn were inspected in Chica-
go. Most of this was used for max
ing poultry-food. the three largest
manufacturers using an average OF
about 2O,0O0,O00 pounds month.
This year the yield is SO much great
err that the poultry manufacturing
trade cannot use the entire crop,
and concerns making various mixed
feeds will become users of it.
Kansas and Oklahoma are the
principal Kafir-growing States, but
Texas comes in for some recognition,
as do also parts of New Mexico and
Colorado. II is probable that with
further selection of the present var
ieties Kafr can be profitably grown
both farther north and east. The
ck-hulled white and the dwarf
black-hulled are the principal var
ieties.
Kafir finds its greatest use on the
farm where grown when it is fed to
the horses and hogs in the head or,
if thrashed and ground, to all the
stock. With the use of combination
grinders, Kafir can be ground in the
head and thus fed without thrash
| ing In any case il has to be balanced
with a protein feed, like cottonseed-
meal, to give the best results. In
some cases Kafir has been hogged
down with good results, but milo,
! it's side partner, is better for this
purpose.
Kafr is the one crop that the far
mer in the drier parts of the West
can plant and be assured that he can
use whether it natures or not 1t
may be cut for forage after frost
and still be good feed, and if it does
not seed the fodder is still good
We have known farmers to plant
Kafir for fodder where they had no
hope of getting seed, and they felt
they had the best feed they could
possibly grow. Many farmers pre-
fer Kafir fodder to alfalfa for horses
and cows. We have known horses
to do their spring and summer work
on Kafir fodder and come through in
fairly good condition.
Kafr can be ground into excel
lent -four for making pancakes,
mullins, doughnIts and pastry.
1t can also be popped like corn
and can be substituted for wheat in
producing "as good-as-coffee" drinks.
Conditions at one time got so bad
down in southern Kansas that one of
the bankers began writing a clause
in his mortgage with the farmers
requiring them 10 grow ten acres OF
Kafir for every hundred dollars they
borrowed. The scheme benefited
both parties, and the idea spread un-
til most of the banks of southern
Kansas and Oklahoma have taken
up the idea, though with various
notifications. This has had the eff
feet Of placing he banks on a high
er financial plane, and the farmers
do not have to tie up all their live
stock in order TO borrow few dol
lars.

WHAT WILL FARMER DO?
When World is Fed by Scientific
Chemists What viii Become of
Farmer.

Did the reader ever think what
clumsey process this is by which we
feed the world? Every bit of food
we produce has to go around Robin
Hoods barn and back to get from
the soil to the stomach. All our ami
NAL food must first be taken from
soil and air by plants, then worked
over in the bodies of animals into
food for u.s.
And yet we know pretty nearly
what food is-protein carbohyd
rates and fats. Most of us are now
aware, however, that all these
things, which farmers make by 60
ing round Robin Hoods barn through
the assistance of plants and animals,
either themselves or substitutes for
them can be made directly by chem
lists.
The fat we so carefully place on
our cattle and swine can be made
by chemist out of glycerine and the
right fatty acid. Glycerine and the
fatty acids can be made in factories,
but they are very costly as yet. Pro-
TEN has always stumped the chem
lists, but they are working on it. A
German doctor, however, has found
out that Nature really does a lot of
seemingly unnecessary work in max
ing protein for our stomachs that
the stomach, in fact, has to undo
good deal of this work, and turn the
protein back into amino acids which
are simpler than protein, and can be
tory. Eight or ten kinds of amino
acids might be fed to a customer in
any synthetic" restaurant instead
of Deutschland they will do the
customer quite as much good if he
can only be convinced of it.
Artificial sugar was made years
ago. But the sugar-cane plant, the
sugar maple, the sugar beet and 9TH
er natural carbohydrate producers
can beat the chemist because they
have in their leaves that green sub
stance called chlorophyll. When
the chemist can find something which
Will do the work of chlorphyll, he
can make sugar without any help
from the farmer.
The farmers OF India were put out

indigo. Margarine is not synthetic
butter, but it illustrates the effect
a factory product has on a natural
product when the chemist finds the
secret. 1t is quite possible now for
a chemist to make in his laboratory
a balanced ration for human beings
from things with the production of
which the farmer has had nothing
at all to do. He can serve to his
customers artificial glucose, carbo-
hydrate; artificial fats made of ar
ticial glycerine and fatty acids; and
instead of protein artificial amino
acids of the sort which the stomach
wants.
However, let's not worry. When
chemistry brings on it's synthetic
dinner. the farmer will no doubt be
there to partake. For the present
the price of farm land will not be af-
fected The synthetic foods are very
costly-but so was synthetic indigo,
once, and so was margarine! Farm

SYSTEM WILL BE SUCCESS
Little Doubt as 70 the Possibility of
the Use of Wireless on
Trains.

L. B. Foley, superintendent of tele-
graph of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western railroad, who has had
charge of the wireless telegraph tests
on the Lackawanna limited, the fast
train between Hoboken and Buffalo,
says that he considers the handling of
wireless messages to and from NOV
stage.
Only two difficulties need to be over
come, he said, to bring the wireless
service up to the efficiency of the rail-
road wire telegraph system. These
are the sending and receiving of mes
sages between the train and station
when the train is going at a high rate
of speed on sharp curve or through
tunnel.
The speed of the train on straight
away run has not affected the mes
sages, but sometimes, said Mr.. Foley,
when the train suddenly shoots around
a curve or enters tunnel while a
message is being received or sent the
vi IuO 1AO0Od6O OIOhOu do
when a disconnection occurs in the
middle of telephone conversation.
The message is picked up again as
soon as the train has rounded the
curve or left the tunnel, but, although
the distance in curves and tunnels is
short compared with the total dis
tance from Hoboken to Buffalo, for
example, Mr.. Foley wants the wireless
service so nearly perfect before it is
formally opened for commercial and
railroad uses that at no time will the
train be out of communication with a
city where wireless service communi-
cation can be obtained, he thinks, by a
slight modification of the aerial ad-
| justment of the instrument on the
train.
At present one section of the Lacka-
wanna limited is equipped with the
wireless apparatus. On alternate days
it leaves Hoboken at 1915 a. m. as
train No. and Buffalo at $50 q. m. as
| train No 6. Wireless stations have
been erected at Scranton and Bing-
hamton, and 1t is with these that the
train exchanges messages.
AS soon as Mr. Foley has finished
his testing and the wireless is put in
regular service, the railroad will build
stations at other cities and equip
other trains. The plan is to have the
wireless stations about fifty miles
apart from one end of the line to the
other.

Anticipation.

"One summer l chanced to be back
in the ridges of Tennessee" said
United States Senator Blair Lee OF
Maryland, as he leaned back in his
chair ''and couple of mountaineers
got into an argument. High words
led to blows, and one of the men was
killed. One of the party volunteered
to ride on ahead to the dead mans
cabin and break the news to the
widow.
''She was seated at table eating
apple-dumplings when the man rode
up. He broke the news as gently as
possible. The woman listened quietly
with a dumpling poised in the air half
way to her mouth When the man had
finished, she stuffed the dumping into
her mouth and said:
"'You-all jest wait till l finish this
hyer dumplin' an then you-all'll hear
some hollerin'.'"
