Eat Too Much

THE American workingman eats
twice as much as his body requires
and the American who does not in
dulge in physical toil-our profession
al and Office men-eat three or four
times too much" said Thomas A. Edi-
son, in an interview recently.
Edison declared any man will end
his worries over the food problem
when he gets to the point where he
neither gains nor loses, while enjoying
good health. He favors simple diet
plenty of minor portions, and, above
all things, an end of the dinners with
"talk tests"
II certainly would abolish, if | had
my way, the dinner with the long
talks" ne remarked. "Serve eight or
nine portions, minute in size, and when
the diners would get up they'd feel
hungry-but comfortable.
George Washington Childs had the
idea of the public dinner. He's give one
sardine, three cherries or Strawberries,
tiny fish, two tablespoonfuls of soup
and other simple diet.
For the social feature of such a
gathering let the diners talk among
themselves. They would enjoy the dis
course for more than to sit and listen
to windy orator, all the while feeling
uncomfortable after eating hearty por-
tions of rich foods. Let's stop max
ing dinner talk tests and social func-
tons"
Edison said a person should eat
what he likes, but in the smallest
possible portions. He favors a good
breakfast as the most essential meal.

Special Use" Permits Increase


There were 1892 special-use per-
mits in force on the National Forests
on June so, last, according to figures
just compiled by the u. s. Forest Ser
vice to show the varied uses to which
the public is putting the government
land involved. The list includes SO
apiaries, two brick yards, thirty-one
canneries, thirty-nine cemeteries, nine
churches, one cranberry marsh, thirty
two fish hatcheries, one golf link, for
ty-three hotels, one astronomical OBJ
servatory, ten fox and rabbit ranches,
1885 residences, seventy-two resorts
and club houses, three sanitariums,
five hundred sawmills, one hundred
and sixty-three schools, nine slaughter
houses, fifty-seven stores, sixteen
municipal watersheds, and one hun
dred and eighty-two water power
sites, with many other uses. Fees col
lected on 1895 of these permits con-
tributed a total of $175,840.40 to the
general forest revenues, but 10,447 of
the permits were issued without
charge.
The permits cover more than 1887
900 acres and 1904 miles of right-of-
way, granted for various purposes,
these figures including 1881 acres
for municipal watersheds, 6,572 miles
for telephone lines and 80,593 acres
and 1919 miles for reservoirs, canals,
pipe lines, and other irrigation and
domestic supply works.
The steady growth of National For
est business is shown in columns of
yearly figures going back to the last
century. Between 1891, when the first
forests were established, and 1900
there were only six timber sales. The
number has risen from 283 in 1901 to
40,040 in 1915, and of grazing permits
from 2,317 in 1901 to 30,612 in 1915.
The special use permits, which were
only 29S up to the end of 1905, were
increased to 1857 in 1915, making a
total during the last IL years of A.
369. OF these 1892 are now in force.

Naming the Home

People are getting over the idea
that it is an affectation to name the
country places, and to pat a sign at
the gateway declaring It. Why this
feeling should ever have gained
ground is hard to explain, unless it
was because some of the early advo-

Across the water, and especially in
England, the names of country places
are handed down for generations.
By all means, name the suburban

a name that is appropriate and not

should have individuality, and their
naming adds to that quality.-The

Terrible Calamity at Adrian

We introduce the new spelling re-
form into our little sheet this week.
On this account some young tyro in
English spelling may offer some sharp
criticism upon the photography of
even this number, (see "catastrofies,
in the first line of the first article on
this page), but under the leadership
of such periodicals as the Chicago
Tribune we feel that we can safely
launch out in this channel of reform.
1t meets our hearty approval, and is
only step in the right direction.

An Era Of Silo Building.

Silos are being erected all over Texas and
this means cheaper feeding. Succulent food
is almost a necessity when pastures are brown
and scar. Animals will not make satisfactory
gains on dry feed even though balanced
ration be fed.
The coming of the silo means conservation
of feed 1t is conservatively estimated that
when corn is husked in the field and the
stalks left to bleach 40 per cent of the feeding
value of the plant is wasted. Even greater
loss, perhaps, is sustained when kaffir milo
and saccharinc sorghums are grown for grain
and the heads only saved, leaving the stalks
10 decay in the field
Roughage is indispensable to economical
feeding and what crop will produce more per
acre than corn or one Of the sorghums when
converted into silagei Feeding from the silo
is also much more convenient than feeding
from the hay loft where bulky roughage must
be handled. Animals consume the entire
plant when silage is fed, whereas much of the
stalks are wasted when fodder is fed instead.
The silo gives better opportunity for rails
ing livestock on n small farm, as few acres
of good land will be sufficient TO fill one or
two silos, whereas great deal may be needed
when the land must he sown in pasture. The
advent of the silo means more than would at
first appear. II means that those who have
made this advance in conserving their feed
ing resources will take advance ground in
other progressive practices of farm manage

county, produced and sold off of one-tenth Of
an acre Of tomatoes last year 1853 pounds Of
tomatoes in addition to Their vegetables and
fruits, her total net profits from that one
tenth acre being 1898. Gross receipts from
her patch were $2l6.22, but the preparation
of the soil and other expenditures reduced
her net profit to $193

Freight Delayed.

Owing to the slide in the Pana-
ma Canal, all freight that would
go by boat from east to west is
being loaded onto the railroads,
which means that every car avail
able is in service and the roads
are swamped with feight, such as
lumber, grain and fruit, most of
which is going from the Pacific
coast to tine Atlantic sea board.
1t will probably take three months
to clear the Panama and during
that time all freight will be de-
layed and even the store here is
beginning to feel the delay. Mama
ger Hickok says that all dried
fruit and canned goods will be
delayed from ten days to three
weeks in transit.

man, is now turning out a new
class of stock saddle. This sad.
die is round skirted, and the
skirts are cut right up to the bars

he is using the new rigging ring,
which makes any saddle convert

quarter or double rig, with only II
slight change made any time. In
addition to this the ring comes up
closer to the tree and gives twice
the stirrup swing of the former

Biz Denver Show.

1t is expected now that the
Denver Stock Show in January
will celebrate the end of the foot
and mouth outbreak and will be
the big show of the country for
this season. ALI of the other shows
have been abandoned or held only
In part, and the big breeders of
the country r looking forward
to the Denver show as the fret
opportunity in two years to get
together in competition. All the
big herds of the country are plan
ming to come to Denver, and as
the foot and mouth contagion is
practically ended, there will be
nothing in the way of the biggest
show the West has ever seen. The
show management is making prep
arations for the biggest event in
its history, and there is no ques-
ton but that all the facilities will
be taxed to their utmost. Plans
are being made for additional
buildings to take care of the in
creased exhibits.
The passing of the show at
Denver last winter was a big dis
appointment to stockmen all over
the west, and there has been con.
slant fear that disease conditions
might compel it to be abandoned
again, but the outlook now is that
the show can be held with perfect
safety. The only contagion spot
left in the country is in Illinois,
and the infected area is growing
smaller every day. 1t is believed
that by the first of December all
the guarantees will have been
raised and the contagion will be a
matter of history. In the mean.
while, arrangements for the big
Denver show are being pushed
vigorously.
