The February WOman's Home
Companion.

SOAAApuAAAohH
One of the striking contribu-
tions to the February Woman's
Home Companion is an article by
the Rev. Charles Stelzle entitled
Making the Church Do Real
Work" in which he considers
the question of the high cost Of
salvation. He does not, Of course
consider that the money cost per
convert which a church pays is
any evidence as to the efficiency
or ineficiency of that church,
but he does show wherein some
churches are vastly superior to
others in the service which they
perform to a community. In any
event, his article is highly enter
tanning and thought-proyoking
and will undoubtedly arouse con-
siderable discussion.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where u
young people a be entertained.
amused and instructed under the d.
rection of cultured, clean and com.
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful. where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives OF
our people can properly function
around 1t and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

Why France is the Banker of the
World.

A sort Of paradox is the fact
that thousands Of people who
make no effort to save a dollar
when times are mighty prosper
GUS will develop and practice
economy when work and oppor-
tunity are less plentiful, writes
H. H. Windsor in Popular Mech
anics.
The best way, Of course, is to
try to save a little all the time,
putting by a larger amount when
earnings are at their height. AS
a nation we are not taught that
economy which makes France
the banker of the world and
whose accumulations come not
from vast exports of natural re-
sources but from the combined
small savings, persistently con-
tinued year after year, by the
French people as a whole.
If the people of this country
would save during the year 1915
an average Of $40 per capita, the
grand total at the end of the
first II months would be the
magnificent sum Of $1,000, 000,-
900.
The French save, partly be-
cause it has become hereditary
and chiefly because the children
are brought up that way and are
taught the dignity of accumula-
/, ton. We, on the contrary, in a
, spirit of false pride, are inclined
to scorn the necessity of saving,
= as though it were something of
|. which to be ashamed. If our
+ present experiences shall teach
j us thrift it will be a strengthen.

FARMER RADF0RD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu'
ton of women to the world, and the
h~earthstone is her throne. Our so
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces ana her power are the cumu
lative products of generations OF
queenly conquest, and her crown Of
exalted womanhood is ieweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be married or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences Of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities OF
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and a guide
to a higher life, but directing the af
fairs Of government is not within wo
mans sphere, and political GOSSIP
would cause her to neglect the home
forget to mend our clothes and burr
the biscuits.

Winter Care of Ewes.
By Howard Hackendorn.

BY Howard Hackendorn.
The winter care Of the flock is
Just as important as the careful
cultivation of the corn crop. This
is the growing season Of the
lamb crop to be harvested in the
spring.
The Feed:
The condition or the amount Of
flesh the ewes are carrying must
guide the feeder. Ewes in good
condition need not be fed grain
until about a month before lamb
ing when they should gradually
be accustomed to it. Ewes in thin
or poor condition should receive
from one-fourth to one-half a
pound of grain. Straight corn is
not the best grain ration. The
grain feed should contain some
of the blood and muscle build
material. A ration Of 6 parts
corn; 8 parts wheat bran; l
part linseed oil cake, by weight,
has proven very satisfactory at
the Missouri Agricultural EXper-
iment Station. A ration of corn,
oats and bran, equal parts by
weight, can also be recommend
ed.
The sheep should receive as
y, much clover or alfalfa hay as
as they will eat. The amount OF
hay eaten can be cut down by
use of corn silage or corn slower
Two pounds of clean, sweet
corn silage can be used to replace
i about one pound of hay, Wei
cured corn slower is also relish
! ed by the ewes Ordinaril!
n there is little danger Of tn,
sheep eating too much Of it /
hay is fed once a day. TIL
e greatest danger of corn stove
comes from making it the eX
elusive feed. Under this condi
n ton, compaction with other al
. tendant troubles will often re
suit.
Clean salt and water should b
kept before the flock.
Sheep should always have
dry, well-bedded floor to lie on.
The flock should have suf
~ cient hay rack and grain troug
Us room so that all can eat at
time without excessive crow

Winter Care of Brood SOws.
By L. A. Weaver

By L. A. Weaver
Proper care of the pregnant
sow during winter demands that
attention be paid to three things,
namely; her feed, shelter and
exercise. Neglect of any one of
these three essentials may mean
failure, even though the other
two be watched carefully.
The most common mistake
made in feeding the brood sow
in winter is to supply too much
corn. Perhaps not too many
pounds of corn, but the corn ra-
ton is not properly supplement-
ed with other feeds. There are
several reasons why corn should
not make up the entire ration
for brood sows. 1t does not con-
tain enough muscle and bone
building nutrients to supply the
needs of the brood SOW. 1t is
constipating in it's effect and
does not furnish bulk enough. 1t
has a tendency to put on a large
amount of internal fat which is
injurious to the pigs in utero.
Corn should be supplemented
with a small amount of some
feed like tankage, linseed oil
meal, ship stuff, bran and the
like. Some good leguminouS
hay such as alfalfa, clover, cow
, Pea, ETC., also supplies the need
ed protein bulk and produce.

GARRISON FOR
MORE COAST
ARTILLERYMEN
Chamberlain Bill Favored, as
State Militia viii Be De-
pended Upon.
EMF KRAG RIFLE SALES
From the New York Sun.

Senator Chamberlain, chairman
Of the Military Affairs Commit ,
tee of the Senate, a letter in sup !
port Of the bill introduced by the
for the increase of the
Artillery Corps by sufi-
cient men to provide complete
garrisons for the Notifications
overseas and garrisons Of half
strength for the coast defense Of
continental United States.
In his letter the Secretary
shows that for complete garri-
sons for all Notifications at
home and abroad 2,052 officers
and 4884O men are required. The
present authorized strength Of
Coast Artillery Corps is only 701
officers and 1921 men, or but a
little more than a third Of what
would be required in time Of war,
without any allowance for losses.
The War Department, the Sec
rotary says, intends to rely on
the coast artillery Of the militia
of the coast States for so per
cent of the forces to man the
guns and mortars at home, so
that the increase asked for in
the pending bill is only such as is
necessary to make up the defic-
iency with this allowance. The
bill asks therefore for 612 Off
GERS and 1000 men.
"While the States up to the
present time" says Mr.. Garrison
"have made provisions for only
AL officers and 1922 enlisted
linen, the bill assumes that the
full State quota will eventually
be supplied, and the number of
+ officers and enlisted men emu
merated in the bill, with what is
lnow authorized, will provide for
complete artillery forces for al
p oversee Notifications, for the
mines at home and for one-hali
of the guns and mortars at home
"In my opinion this is the least
number that can be considered as
adequate in providing an efficient
defence, especially in view of the
doubt attaching to the number
that may be expected from thu
States. The total cost of tn,
o coast defences to date is abou
# $4,000, 900. In view of the higl
e efficiency of the material of tn
defences it is desirable that
It personnel should be provide
,e that will realize the full defen
,e sive value of this great nations
&c expenditure"
Up The bill provides that the If
e. creases in the Coast Artiller
to Corps shall be spread over
period of five years. Vacancie
