Turner's Make Good Soldiers.

More than $1,000 German turner's
have been decorated with the Iron
Cross since the world war was de-
clared," writes DIR. Hugo Ruehl, Sec
rotary of the Deutsche Turnerschaft,
in letter to George Brosius, veteran
Milwaukee turnmaster.
In commenting upon the ability OF
turner's as soldiers, Professor
Brosius says:
THE exceptional training that turn

INSANITY.

A few years ago it was generally
held that the percentage of insanity
was greater in rural than in urban
communities. This fact CD was at
tributed to the lack of social condl-
tions and to the over-worked condi-
ton of many rural people. The 1910
census shows that Al persons in each
100 900 in rural communities were ad-
mitted to asylums for the insane and
that sc in each 100000 in urban COM
munities were admitted to such insti-
tutions. 1t is, therefore, the farmers
turn to ask the urbanities, "who is
loony now?"
The 1910 census report also shows
that the cases of insanity reported in
institutions has increased 25 per cent
from 1904 to 1910. The total popula-
ton increased only II per cent. during
the same period. This shows that
the insane in asylums increase twice
as fast as the population. This is
due partly, at least, to the fact that
the facilities for the care of the in
sane was greater and a larger proper
ton of insane persons were in asylums
in 1910 than in 1904.

MILKING MACHINE
PUBLICITY BHEAKs
WORLDS RECORD
Valuable Lesson in Advertising
Taugth by Hinman Mixer
Success.

Dairymen and farmers during the
last few years have watched very
carefully the progress made by milk
ing machines.
Those subcribers hereabouts who
are readers of KimbalPs Dairy Farm
er have been very much interested in
reading the history of the remarkable
progress made during the last six
years by The Hinman Milking Machine
company of Oneida, N. Y, in the
manufacture of milking machines.
Four pages of the dairy paper have
been devoted to an illustrated write
up and an advertisement on the Hin
man Mixer in which is explained in
detail the principles which have in
sured their extraordinary success.
1t is stated that the Mixer was not
invented for the purpose of market
ing as a commercial product but was
made to lessen labor and reduce the
cost of producing milk on the Hin
man Dairy Farm. The ambition of
the Inventors was to produce a milk
er which would successfully milk
their herd without the aid of hired
help. The fact that the machine was
produced under the exact conditions
found in the average dairy explains
its simplicity of construction and eff
fectiveness of operation. 1t appears
that the drive-rod system is the fea-
ture enabling the mechanical mixer
to so perfectly initiate the action OF
the calf.
The four-page ad is an innovation
in that it gives the names and ad.
dresses of over 600 owners of the
milking machine. 1t gives logical rea.
sons why the milking machine should
milk one COW at time with each unit
Of course the visible milk flow anc
the rapid pail changing system are
absolutely essential. The vacuum
should be in the valve chamber in.
stead of in the pail and the machine
should be very simple in construc
ton. The Hinman has only two NOV.
ing parts which appeal to every
dairyman.
There is a great lesson to adver
tisers in the four-page Hinman Milk
er announcement. 1t is the larges
ad which has ever appeared in an,
dairy paper of national circulation
and it is printed in colors and OF
superior paper stock. No produc
however perfect could have attained
the success of this milking machin,
without publicity. The Messrs. Hin
man have been big advertisers il
newspapers and farm papers eve,
since the machine was invented whicl
accounts for the fact that to-day /,
quarter of a million cows are milket
with their mixer. Adv't.

Modern Society Arrogance.

Manners seem to be largely mat
ter of individual preference since there
is so little harmony in opinion. A wo-
man who condemns praise of a pretty
gown or becoming hat on the score
of bad taste will openly criticise her
neighbor for acts which are not to her
liking. This is, on the whole, great
