Upon one occasion Sir Douglas set
out with Mr.. Mertz and Lieut.. MINIS
on coast chartering expedition. Aft
er going about 200 miles MINIS and
his sledge were lost in a great Gre
vase. Hours of calling brought no
response, and the mashed-to-pieces
sledge at the bottom told a painful
story of his fate. Thereafter Mawson
and Mertz turned around and started
back to camp. They ate all the dogs,
one by one, as they died by starva-
ton.
Finally there was only one dog left
Old Ginger. "Old Ginger was a no.

, of rich farmers who made their money
out of hogs. They feed the raw grain
10 the porker and sell him at the
highest price in the biggest markets
of the country. They have no such
advantages as the Kentucky farmer
has. At our very doors, and at a
much lower cost than corn the Iowa
and Indiana farmer feeds, we have the
feed that will produce the best pork
in the world.
The Farmers Opportunity.
The greatest single industry in Ken
lucky is its distilleries. This industry
pays more taxes for the maintenance
Of the State than all other manufac-
turing industries combined. Thou
sands Of tons OF slops containing nu-
tritious. fatproducing elements are
dumped into the waste neap simply be-
cause Kentucky feeders have not
walked up TO their opportunity. COM
paratively small portion of this by
product is dried and shipped to Eu-
rope to be used as dairy feed and for
fattening hogs.
But why ship any of these dried
grains to Denmark and Holland when
we can use them here at home up to
the full capacity OF every distillery In
the State, thereby increasing the prof
its OF hog-raising and adding many
millions OF dollars annually to the
wealth of the farmers of the state.
Cheaper Feed Than Corn.
Farmers should sell the corn they
raise at the high price 1t usually
brings and buy for less money. more
and better feed In the form OF distil-
lers' dried grains. BY doing this they
can fatten more hogs at less cost and
sell them in the market for larger
profits. II is a simple business propo-
sition that should not be overlooked
by the farmer.

Stop the Gambling.

Editor the Missourian: While the
City Council Is raising such hubbuD
about the sale of cigarettes and Is
possessed Of the reform fever, would
1t not be a good plan to investigate
the matter of the gambling devices
maintained by some Columbia stores?
They run guessing contests and raf-

FavOrs Gardner Plan.

Editor the Missourian: This is IN
answer to an article which appeared
in the Open Column under date of
September "a. This article was
signed by III" and criticized the
Gardner Land Bank Bill for the fol-
lowing reasons: first, that the farm
ers do not need more money but
should practice better farm manage
ment; second, that the Gardner Land
Bank Bill does not intend loaning on
high enough percentage OF the as
sessed valuation Of collateral.
Statistics show that the Missouri
farmers have mortgaged their farms
to the extent of $13,OOO,OOO. This in
dicates that the farmer does borrow
capital, and efficient farm manage
ment would surely be long in wiping
out that debt The brainiest business
man of the country could hardly
make progress without some capital
to start on.
Would it be safe practice to loan on
more than so per cent of the assessed
value of the land? Banking practice
Of today does not consider this safe
margin. Some few rural banks con-
tend they will loan on go per cent OF
the value of the land, but when the
loan is made it is for 40 per cent Of
the valuation.
More efficient farm management is
badly needed, but first let us give the
farmer an unmortgaged farm to man
age. Through the use of adequate
financial machinery, the Gardner
Land Bill intends loaning this s13,-
100000 for a long period of time at
a low rate of interest, while the farm
er is now paying 8 per cent interest.

THE RIGHT BENT

Don't be a lawyer unless you can't
be anything else, or don't be jour-
naIist unless you can't be anything
else" says Charles H. Grasty of the
Baltimore Sun.
Which doesn't in the least mean
that these professions, or any OF the
others that Mr.. Grasty might have
mentioned in this connection, are par
ticularly to be avoided. But he en-
phatically does not believe that man
should be lawyer, or journalist, or
this, that or the other, because Of the
ephemeral attraction it affords him,
or because it offers the line of least
resistance. In that case you'd better
be a hod carrier, or day laborer on
the streets.
But If your liking for the law is so
great that you'd rather pore over
musty volume of Blackstone than eat,
If you'd rather unravel miles Of red
tape and sift through million "of the
saids" to find and solve the real prob
lem so carefully concealed beneath
the bewildering legal verbiage, If
you'd rather examine a troublesome
witness in court than drive the finest
new 1916 model motor car-be law
yer, says Grasty. Be good one, too.
And If you'd rather work for SIS
week and the love of the game than to
drag down $50 per in brokers' office.
If you'd rather, sleepless and supper
less, drag your creaking bones and
protesting muscles out into the mid
night storm on the whirlwind trail OF
an eleventh hour story than to loll in
your armchair at home before the
crate smoking peaceful pipe, If you
think more of your paper than OF
yourself, If you aren't satisfied with
out the smell of printers ink on your
fingers-be a journalist. And be \
good one.
That's what Mr.. Grasty meant, and
Mr.. Grasty ought to know, for he is
good journalist and a good Judge OF
men.

EVER TRY ANY CANNED cHEEsEi
Prof. L. g. Rinkle Suggests Turning
Spare MIX Into This FeOd.

Spare MIX IAto This Fsod
Prof. L. G. Rinkle Of the dairy de-
partment has recently conducted. ex-
periments to demonstrate the practic-
ability Of making and curing cheese on
the farm. The cheese is first pressed
into moulds, then removed and put
into five-pound tin cans. The cans
are then sealed airtight with solder
and immersed in we'll water. Since
the cheese is kept alright, no rind
can form, and every ounce is edible.
The growth of mould on the cheese
is also eliminated by keeping 1t away
from air.
The canned cheese is put in well
water because the average farm well
water in Missouri is of the same tenn
perature as the curing rooms Of the
large northern cheese factories. Well
water also remains at fairly con-
slant temperature, which Is necessary
for the proper ripening of cheese. A
green" or freshly made, cheese re-
quires from one to three months to
cure properly, according to Professor
Wrinkle. He says that the farmer
can very easily convert milk into a
highly nutritious and cheap food by
transforming it into canned cheese.
