COLLEGE TRAINING
WORKED A MIRACLE
Pennsylvania Woman Well Paid
for Trouble in Educating
Her Farm Hand.

A woman who had sent her farm
hand to state college got the expense
money back in one year. She tells
me that his knowledge of COWS has
worked small miracle.
He tests the milk, makes a formula
for the feed each COW should have
and weighs and measures results In a
fashion that fairly startled the neigh
bors.
Once COW was COW, but now
poor COW very quickly becomes beef,
writes Girard in Philadelphia Public
Ledger. 1t was formerly the fashion
to give the entire herd the same GUAM
tty as well as the same kind of feed.
regardless of what was best for each.
Now that's changed.
This college-educated farm hand has
proved that it pays best to own only
good cows. The neighbors soon
caught that idea. and that neighbor.
hood has been revolutionized in the
milk business by this one person.
| know another woman who keeps
chickens, and she has told me that she
earns 40 per cent year on her Invest
ment, But she spent four or five years
learning how to do ii.
Ever notice the green banks along
the deep railroad cuts on the way to
Atlantic City? They were formerly
ugly clay and were washing down
upon the tracks with every rain Then
Engineer Nichols happened along
with remedy. He dumped good earth
and fertilizer upon the steep banks
sowed grass seed and saved the com
pany in repairs almost as much every
year as the whole job cost.
Knowing how-thats the trick
whether you raise chickens. keep a
dairy or are an engineer.

JOHN D. IS HIT
BY MINERS HEAD
Charges Rockefeller Is to Blame
for Unrest.
TALKS TO FEDERAL BODY
"Out Of His Mouth Came Reason for
Discomfort That Agltates La
boring Glass;" Says
Lawson.
TALKS TO FEDERAL BODY

New York, Feb. looming almost
straight from the office of John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., where he had a
friendly chat" with him over condi.
lions in the mines Of Colorado, John
r. Lawson, a member of the executive
board of the United Mine Workers for
the district including Colorado, read
before the federal commission on In
dustrial relations on Friday a scathing
Indictment of Mr.. Rockefeller and the
attitude he had displayed before the
commission.
The policies and purposes OF the
$100,000,000 Rockefeller foundation
and the recent utterances Of young MT.
Rockefeller on the witness stand were
assailed by Mr.. Lawson.
In assailng the Rockefeller founda-
ton he asserted that one of the causes
of industrial discomfort was that very
philanthropy and the feeling that the
millions spread over the world IN
snowy generosity" were derived from
the money withheld from the wages
of the American working class"
Mr.. Lawson criticized young Rookie
Teller for his lack of knowledge Of con-
ditions among employees of the Colo
RADIO Fuel company, and said he was
equally as ignorant and Indifferent
as his trusted executives
Your body can well afford to let the
testimony of John d. Rockefeller, Jr''
bring your investigation to an END,
Mr.. Lawson told the commission.
"Out of his mouth came a reason
for every discomfort that agitates the
laboring class in the United States
today. and If remedies are provided
for the injustices that he disclosed a
long step will be taken away from In
dustrial disturbance"
Mr.. Lawson told of the shooting OF
striking miners in Colorado, the shat
tering of miners homes, how hundreds
we're dumped in 1903 into the desert
without food or water" while others
were driven over the snow of the
mountain ranges.
The philanthropy of tbs Rockefellers
Mr.. Lawson referred to as follows
Health for China, refuge for birds,
food for Belgians, pensions for New
York widows, university training for
the elect-and never a thought or a
dollar for thousands Of men, women
and children who starved in Colorado;
for the widows robbed of husbands
chi1dren NJ their fathers
There are thousands Of Mr. Rookie
feller's employees In Colorado who
wish to God they were in Belgium to
be fed, or bird to be cared for"

Youthful Bride Thought Hubby Really

'The women of Europe, when told
they're not fit to govern, have good
answer ready-they point to the war

The speaker was Miss Edith Wynne
Mathison, the beautiful actress and
suffragette. She continued:
"a good answer that. AS good as
the young bride made.
"A young bride, few months after
the honeymoon, sat up till three in the
morning for her husband
AT three the young man entered the
vestibule with crash, then came up.
stairs slowly and silently, with his
boots under his arm. He opened the
bedroom door very, very quietly, and,
seeing his wife seated by the radiator,

the bulbs will reroot, especially If
there are frequent showers, and the
quality of the bulbs is injured.
The pulling OF the crop is not an
expensive operation If the bulbs are
large and not set too deep in the
ground. They are simply pulled by
hand and deposited in windows con-
tanning the onions from three or four
rows.
They should be left in these wind
rows until fully cured which will re-
quire about one week. On bright
days the curing will be fastened by
stirring with a wooden rake, being
careful not to bruise them.
If there is danger of rainy season
the crop may be cured in open sheds
or on a barn floor. If the rays of the
sun are very hot, the onions should
be gathered in small piles containing
about barrel and protected by thin
layer of straw. This will prevent the
sun from turning exposed portions
green.
After the crop is cured the bulbs
should be sorted, topped If desired,
and properly stored. All weeds and
refuse should be removed. Very fire.
quently the bulbs command 81 or 81
more per barrel in the early spring
than they do soon after harvesting.
Onions may be stored in two diff
ferent ways; first. by freezing the
bulbs and keeping them in this state
all winter, or by storing them in a
dry apartment where the temperature
can be maintained just above the
freezing point.
The freezing process is very salts
factory where the weather is cold all
winter. 1t consists in storing them in
the barn or out-buildings, allowing
them to freeze, then covering with
hay or straw, and letting them remain
in this frozen state all winter. Lay
crs Of straw must be thrown on the
bottom of the bins before putting the
onions in
In the spring they can be packed in
boxes or barrels and shipped to a com.
mission house or sold to some local
buyer, and will always command d
remuncrative price.
