RECENT DEATHS

Col. Rodney Smith, Z. S. A., retired,

Mrs. Ada f. HOWE, expert, member Of
the Wisconsin board of agriculture, be-
gan to take advantage Of it. Eight years
ago, when she caused all of her farm
employees to speak cheerily to the cows
in the morning, she also added music
machine to her milking equipment. Cows
gave more milk and gave it more cheer
fully.
She has asked the state board to put
lace curtains on the windows of the
stables which are to be built for the Uni

ture. She wants to add porcelain feed

Two Remarkable Brothers.

An account of two remarkable broth
ers appears in the Interesting People
department Of the November American
Magazine. The older brother, Frank
Burlington Vrooman, is lecturer at Ok
ford university-an American of ire
mendous intellectual vitality. The young
er brother, Carl SEIZURE Vrooman, is as
sistant secretary of agriculture, and a
man of original ideas. Both are men
of action. Following is brief extract
from the article about these brothers
and partners:
Begin with Frank Burlington, for he
is fifty three. This is his stripe; Ok
ford University offered him the degree of
b. &c., in return for thesis on the
economic geography Of northern and
western Canada. Frank Burlington had
exactly eighteen days, two hours and
thirty minutes to get that thesis in be-
fore Oxford closed for the year. Fifteen
minutes before the time limit his thesis
was received. He had dictated the en-
tire ten-pound manuscript directly to
the typewriter. In its original typewrit-
ten form it stands to-day an authority
on the subject.
Nothing short of any uncanny thor
ougbness of mental grasp on the subject
could have made such performance pos
sible. Frank Burlington had accumu-
lated his data and conclusions by first
hand observation and study. He had
tramped and explored and starved over
The headwaters of the Mackenzie and
Yukon river, over Vancouver island and
.he frigid wilds Of primitive Canada.
Carl Sehurz Vrooman, stands for the
new politics and the new agriculture and
he new economics. The present admin
stration saw fit to make him assistant
ecretary of agriculture.
"His doctrine of the new agriculture
S founded on concrete foundation of
'ure economics. He's farmer -econom-
st. He's business farmer, too. His |
our thousand acres of proftably man
ged middle-western farms prove this. |
md here's the reasoning behind the new
griculture: the future of American ag-
iculture depends on the successful ma
lipulation of it's economics--why learn to
aise huge crops to sell at loss? This
