Raise More Cattle.

Tie name Of the Wall Street Jour
nal should not prejudice farmers
against the good advice which is of
fered them in the very able editorial
columns of that paper.
The Journal points out that IN 1909
manufacturers of leather in the United
States amounted to S66l 100000. Ten
years before the manufactured output
was 1861 .o00, 600 Against this demand
for leather, the domestic supply OF
hides and skins of all kinds actually
showed a decrease in the decade.
No section consumes so much leath-
er in manufactures as New England.
| Massachusetts alone manufactured
| $24l zoe. 600 worth of leather goods
in the last census year. This is more
than 80 per cent of the country 5 out
put. But what is New England doing
to increase the supply of raw mater
ial2
There were 100000 head of cattle
in New England on Jan. J. 1914. In
1905 the fetal was ,59l, 900. Massa-
chusetts is the country : greatest
manufacturer of leather goods, and
one of its greatest tanners. Yet New
England answers her call for more hides
and more leather with a 20 per cent
decrease In its cattle since l9U0-
If the people of New England think
they cannot raise corn to feed the
cattle, let them look at the official rec
ords. Their average is far ahead Of
the whole country. In 1912 average
yield of corn per acre in the United
states was 29.2 bushels. But New
: England had an average of 49,
bushels. Connecticut, with its 80 bush
els per acre, led the United states.
As the Journal says, it would seen
= as if cattle, corn and grass should &C
together. New England can produce
the feed. Its enormous productive
consumption Of leather shows how
much il needs the cattle while th'
people Of the United States are calling
for more meat, mill, butter, a. we!
as shoes and leather goods. With suel
a need, and such a home market, can
not the farmers of New England tin'
: 1T profitable to raise more livestock

A THOUGH the senate at Wash
"a ington recently rejected the fed
~ eral amendment extending the
suffrage to women, the workers
in the cause have two proposals before
that body. No sooner had the an
nouncement of the vote, 35 to 81 against
the amendment Ga two-thirds affirma-
tive vote being necessary for passage),
been made than the suffragists de-
clared that they were not at all dis
Couraged and to prove 1t had a second
amendment introduced by Senator
Shafroth of Colorado, on the very heels
Of the one that had been defeated. No
sooner had this second amendment
been introduced than Senator Bristow
came back again with the defeated
amendment and introduced it again, so
that II is before the senate as 1t has
been for the last fortyfour years.
On May next suffragist demonstra-
tions will take place in various locali-
ties, so the advocates of votes for wo
men seem in nowise discouraged by the
action of the United States senate.
The cause of woman suffrage has nc
more distinguished champion living to
day than Or. Anna Howard Shaw
who has been for ten years president
of the National American Woman's
Suffrage association. Unlike a grea

wealth. their social standing or their

show on her own behalf a most inter
esting record. of excellent work in more
than one field record Of such a char
acter that her opinions derive an I'M

demonstrated practical efficiency as

Born in the busy town of New
Castle-on-Tyne, England, Miss Shaw
was brought to this country by her
parents at the age of four. In 1878
she graduated from the theological de-
partment of Boston university and
seven years later as a doctor of medi-
cine from the medical school. She was
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
church ut bingham, Mass, during
1873 and at East Dennis, Mass, for
the following seven years. In 1880 she
was ordained, being the first woman

istry. Upon resiguing her passionate

the Massachusetts Woman's Suffrage
association. From 1886 to 1892 she
occupied the important post of national
superintendent of franchise for the
Women's Christian Temperance union.
In 1892 she was elected vice president
at large and in 1904 president of the
National Woman's Suffrage associa-
tion.
Miss Shaw has spoken in every state

q. 5. Department of Agriculture Mak- ing Campaign in Arkansas and Entire South Against Killing
 of iascctiyor0us Birds.

Little Rock, April 30.-The U. g. Department of Agriculture, which is making a campaign in Arkansas IS well us throughout the South espec- tally, against the killing of insectiyo- rous birds, announces that the insect pests are destroying annually $S00,- 000,000 of the farm products of this country.
 Birds are considered enemies of insect life," says Federal Game War den E. " Visart, "our Congressman are being flooded with letters from men who care nothing for the agricul- tural interests, but are willing to sac rifice the interests of our farmers that they may be permitted to slaughter the wild life at will, simply to satisfy their desire to kill, asking that the appropriation for the protection of birds be not allowed.
 Tt is safe to say that not letter from farmer of this country has ever been written opposing such a appropriation, but on the other hand the farmer who is posted as to the value of birds are posting their farms against the killing of such birds.
 Tt would be a blow to the agricul- tural interests of this country should Congress cut off the small appropria- tion offered for the protection of bird life.
 If the federal government can ex- ercise jurisdiction over harmless mi grants for the benefit of the public in general, then in legal principle jt can also exercise the same jurisdiction over beneficial migrants for the bene- fit of the farmer"
