LARGE ATTENDANCE
 AT SUMMER SCHOOL
Second Day at Farmers School Marked by Large
 Attendance

Auburn, August 5.-(Special)- sec ond day of the farmers summer school was marked by Increased attendance of progressive farmers from every section of Alabama and by unusual interest in the lectures on timely agricultural topics. pr. Tate Butler opened the work by telling the farmers how to feed horses and mules The mistake of the average farmer in feeding. he said. "is failing to give a ration that supplies the wants of the work horse or mule. It does not make much difference about the feed of idle animals provided they are not permitted to get too poor. Corn and fodder and the grass hays do not make g. balanced ration" Dr. But Ter suggests the following as a good ration for work stock: Oats. Q hounds; corn, 6 pounds, and cotton seed meal. 2 pounds with 10 to 12 pounds of legume hay. Do not feed too much hay to work stock, said Dr. Butler. Feed hay to work horses and mules only at night and let it be well cured.'
 pr. W. E. Hinds. who followed pr. But Ter, told the farmers how to meet the boil weevil conditions. He advised the farm CTS to grow their own feeds for live stock and use intensive and careful meth ods for growing cotton. He exhibited his chain drag for pulling the squares to the middle, where the hot sun will kill tho larvae.
 Methods of controlling or eliminating parasites of hogs were discussed by pr. C. A Cary He advised the farmers to Guild dipping vats and to dip the hogs once every two weeks, and told them to keep the breeding hogs and pigs on pas lures away from horse and COW barns. mud holes. dust beds. poorly drained lots and pastures. and infected streams. The hogs should be supplied with pure water and a clean pasture, which should be changed as often as possible. Medicine, says Dr. Cary, cannot take the place of good handling pure feed and water. Dead carcasses should always be burned"
 Professor Boyd told the farmers how to grow more peanuts and to feed more hogs. The peanut requires lime and must be broken when planted and should be planted in two rows, to inches in tho row. They should be carefully cultivated and the hogs allowed to gather the crop.
 Prof. J. c. Ford, state agent in charge of pig clubs, told how to make hogs Sn temporary pastures of soy beans. rape and peanuts, and oats and rye The hogs should be finished on corn. or two parts of corn to one part of cotton seed meal. for three weeks. just before killing and marketing. This mixture should be fed in a fresh sloppy condition.
 Prof M. J. Funchess spoke of the use of lime in Alabama, which. he said, is necessary to the growing of legumes. The beneficial effects of lime have been mo- noticed on a given tract of land for 10 to

 It makes up the soul, stirs the energies and creates motion in mind and force just enough mystery to stir search to the end to find the wanting in self. That is something in every nature awaiting de- velopment-capacity for some onething- and that has to be stirred by the indi- vidual. They must determine their own will and focus on true purpose, the con sequences follow, the usual result of one s best.
 Nothing is more deplorable than incom- potency, the helplessness of not knowing what or how to do, and yet there are thousands of grown-ups in the world in this fix.
 Many seem born with the idea that work is degrading, when it Is an accomplish ment. Others are trained in luxury and have no dream of it ever ceasing. When the climax comes they tumble to despair, like the ruins of a decayed bridge, leav- Ing nothing, not even a mere foot log to lead the way across the chasm and they are mired up in want and misery
 There is so much in fitting ones self even if duty never falls your lot. The conseousness of being prepared gives peace of mind. and think of the sugges- tion you scatter along the way Women, that is. women whose lives are filled with interest, with home, with love and duty are all more or less architects. They are planning something every hour. The out lines of home making are her natural duties. Cannot she utilize her natural genius when she needs an extra dollar, when she must work. Let her draw plans for the convenience of other women let her study real architecture. There is field for her talent there, an oppor- tunity to carry out her drawing lessons began in the school. While they are framing lives for other folks home, they are strengthening their own. Seeking comforts for others, indicates the same may be their own. There Is a lesson in everything that can be applied to our own welfare, but we must remember the pro- cess may be slow. There Is so much in the beginning, a tree will not grow to It's height unless it is well rooted.
 There are too many half done jobs. too much tri1ing with opportunity.

1. STEEL CORPORATION 1 GAINS INDICATION ! OF BUSINESS TREND This Company Less Affected by War Business Than
 Other Big Concerns 1 FORETASTE OF BIG THINGS THIS FALL The Steel Industry Expected to See Activity Such as Has Never
 Been Known in Its
 History
By HOLLAND

New York, August 5.-(SpeeaL)-In the
 mid-sprng. the National Association of
 American Manufacturers was in annual session in New York and among the dele gates were some who represented large steel manufacturing industries. Some of these are leaders in the steel and industry now very busy in Youngstown, O., and its vicinity. From Cleveland came delegates who were well informed respecting the steel industry in that vicinity. The in dependent steel organizations were well represented. There was no diversity of opinion respecting the outlook for the steel industry. When chatting informally these leaders confessed their belief that this country is now at the beginning of a re- vival of the steel industry which will be carried to such proportions as the indus try has never known either relatively or absolutely
 There were intimations that late in July the United States Steel corporation would fin all probability make a report which would of itself illustrate the great and sudden change which has taken place since October of last year in the steel in- dustry in the United States. It was also said that if the United States Steel cor poration made a report which would be gratifying not only to stockholders, but to the country, then it could be assumed that the report would reflect prevailing conditions in all the well managed in- dependent steel industries. The predic- tion that the United States Steel corpora tion would make. in the latter part of July, gratifying and from some points of view an astonishing report was veri- fled last week. For few days after this report was made public, showing as it did that the net earnings of the corporation were nearly $2S,000,000 for the last quarter of the past fiscal year and that the earn tngs for June would, if maintained, prom fse net earnings of nearly s40Oo0,000 in the i, third quarter. which includes the months of July, August and September, these figures were, of course, the chief topic of discussion Within few days, however, attention has been called to the fact that the report of the United States Steel
 corporation does reflect relatively like con-
 dtions with the independent steel com panies. All of them have been earning handsome returns and almost all of them are now driven to their full capacity

 ing of iron and steel commodities which for the most part do not reflect war orders In October of 1914, the net earnings of the United States Steel cor roration were in round numbers $o,500, 900. In June, 1915. the net earnings of this corporation were in round num- bers $11,350.000. In January, 1915, the net earnings of this industry were only a little over $1,500,000. and by one of the most violent and nevertheless healthful changes on record within six months the net earnings had so in- creased that 1t has been possible to re- port that in June these earnings were s11, 350,000.

While women are making ready to en- ter professional fields. it is wonder more of them do not study architecture? said a woman who has had much experience in building
 Really this does seem a logical profes- sion for women. Especially could she spe- cialize the art of designing convenient and comfortable cottages, or exclusive interior arrangement of larger homes or apart ments. The woman studies more the needs of home, the divisions of space for designated purposes. the small convent ences that save time and steps, she ob- serves entrances. regarding both the pri- vaey and artistic arrangement of home.
 This work, too, would bring out individ- ual ideas and grow to be remunerative occupation No doubt the men in the pro- fession would gladly have talent of this kind associated with their office, where more outlines would be needed for such procedure, allowing them ample time for measurements, roofs and supervision of buildings.
 We have heard so often mothers say, Why so much drawing in the schools, the children seldom make use of it?'
 Of course, many do not, the majority even, but this gives opportunity for future exercise of any talents, or desire to plan or build. We need straight lines in every thing we do, 1t is the crooked, careless things we do that cause so much failure and Encouragement. People grow up from childhood, trusting to luck for much of the achievement of matured years. They have not tested themselves to find wherein lies their greatest force, and thus lose much valuable time in experiement, sometimes the whole lifetime. whereas if they would draw plans accurately for all calcuia- tions there would be more definite suc- cess
 This is often the trouble with boys, even men. They grow up hoping things will come their way anyhow.-that something will happen to awaken their genius along the right line. and if nothing happens they drift away to uncertain deeds. This is verify the case with women, who want to do, even must do, yet have not found their greatest inclination. They aim to
