The Poetry Of
"Scientific Uplift"

Two facts stand out in any appraisal
Of John Curtis Underwoods volume OF
verse. professionals" which Mitchell
Kennerley has printed in good type and
bound tastefully-Mr. Underwood's belief
that mankind is living in the basement oil
the millennium. and need only take the
elevator, science, to reach the roof
garden; and his affection for long metres,
which reached the goal Of their glory in
swinburne, and which since have been
abused by Kipling and debased by
service
To Mr.. Underwood's optimistic eyes the
test tube Is the Holy Grail, and Dr. Alexis
Carrel its Galahad. Most of the So
termed "Cosmics" are devoted to this and
similar notions. So 1t is with some sur
prise that the reader, after learning that
1.-The mind of man is marching past perdi-
tion through the night" finds later "this
world is old and full OF sin and sickness,
sure to die" Sure to die" also, accord
ing to the rhapsodist, is anti-vivisection,
to which six windy stanzas are dedicated.
Other modern evils are attacked with
more vehemence than art in the book,
which, as a whole, is beautifully illus
trative Of the truism that propaganda
must have a trumpet-throated prophet
II 1t is to touch the mentality through the
aesthetic sense.
Mr.. Underwood varies his and S-foot
iambics, which lack wholly the "knlghtly
shouting" the soul of long metre, with
blank verse and "In Memoriam" meas
ures, which he does fairly we'll. The fire.
quent internal rhyme is bad in the ex-
treme; but now and then the ear Is
caressed with line like danced at the
dawn with danger, and woood her like

However in one thing, ia Gitana," he
achieves rhythmic lmpulsion that is
really swaying, and his poems on children
recall not unhappily the bland benignance
of Longfellow. But most of the verse
is desiccated Kipling, plus obvious scien-
tihc 'uplift," and as such is enormously
to the lover of lyric cry.

TREMENDOUS PROFIT
IN POP CORN.

Cincinnati, o.. Oct. Sat last the
secret of wealth has popped out!
The discoverer is Charles C. Quit
man, Cincinnati high school boy,
who in three months, with a penny
investment found the source of riches
in
POPCORN! .
There's 100000 per cent profit in
it, Quitman will tell you, and this is
how he has figured it out.
In the spring he bought l cents
worth Of seed, planting only half of
it, which really made an investment of
half penny. From this he raised
six bushels Of corn, each ear about a
foot long. Each large ear contains
about 1000 grains. And Quitman
says that in Scent package of pop
corn there are no more than $50
grains. Therefore each of the ears
would be worth from rs to IS cents
after being popped. His profit on
about approximately 400 ears would
therefore be about 800, or 1000, 900
per cent on the investment of one
half cent.

Mammoth Engine Installed.

The Consumers Power Co. is in
stalling a huge $50 kilowatt engine
at it's plant this week. This is a part
of the additional equipment that the
company is putting in to furnish con-
siderable extra electricity, needed by
the growing city. It is estimated that
the company is spending in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 on improvements
this season.
The new piece of machinery is a
direct current generator and engine;
high speed unit. It's weight is 40
tons and it has been installed with
considerable hard work. New boilers
have been placed and the local plant is
without question the very finest in the

HOG CONDITIONS IN THE STATE.

uOu COCND1 11O(>O LIN ne . "A L e.
The state of North Dakota is at
present confronted with the problem
of fattening and marketing the 1915
hog crop.
There is on hand larger number of
hogs than at the same time year
ago. The hogs, however, average con-
siderably smaller in size than at the
same time a year ago, this being
caused by scant feeding through the
summer months, due to the high price
of feeds. The market, however, at
present is rather more promising than
it has been for some time and with the
abundant crop of feed grain the 1915
hog crop may yet be marketed at a
good profit.
The essential features in the feed
ing to bring this about will be to util-
ize as far as possible all the refuse
grains from the farm. Pigs that weigh
1875 to 1876 pounds now should be fin
ished as rapidly as possible by using
grains that are conducive to quick
gains, such as barley or a mixture of
2-3 barley and 1-3 oats or shorts, or
a mixture of barley 80 per cent, tank
age 10 per cent, or barley 60 per cent,
shorts 80 per cent and tankage 10 per
cent, or where corn is available, "hog-
cling off, is the most practical and eco
nomical method. Last fall at the
North Dakota Experiment Station the
gain made in "hogging off" corn was
from l IL to "a pounds per hog
per day.
Almost invariably the market for
good pigs weighing 1870 pounds to 225
pounds remains strong up to the first
Iof December and those farmers who
can get their 1915 crop marketed be-
fore that date in all probability will
be far, ahead of those who will have to
carry their pigs into January and Feb
'ruary..
With. the present prices of feeds the
essential feature in profitably market
ing this years hog crop will be finish
ing them as rapidly as possible and
selling as soon as they are ready for
the market. ttoota IA
