Nocturnal Intruder,

"You can almost see your garden
growing to-day, can't you?" asks The
Spartanburg Journal. We can't quite
see it growing, Brother Booker; but
we thought we heard it growing the
other night and when we investigated
next morning discovered that our
neighbours cow had gotten in and laid
it low, by heck!-Pickens Sentinel.

Took Advantage of War.

China has yielded to Japan's ulti-
matum, and Japan will proceed to take
charge of the country. This, of course,
would never have happened except for
the thoroughly demoralized condition
of affairs in Europe, and it is hardly
probable that it will be allowed to
stand after Europe begins to find her
self at the close of the war. To US it
seems that Japan has undertaken a
pretty good sized contract. -Yorkville

STRUGGLE IN CARPATHIANs

the Carpathian passes, where the Rus

vances despite the obstinate resistance

er important railway head.
In the Carpathians Saturday and Sun
day the Russians captured 5000 pris-
oners. They also claim success in Bu'
kowina and the capture of another
l 900 prisoners. The Austrians assert
they repulsed the Russians at the Dnie'

POTTERY FROM NORTH
DAKOTA is SHOWN At FAIR

Grand Forks, April Cone of the
interesting exhibits at the Panama
Pacific is the mineral display from
North Dakota prepared by Dean Earl
]. Babcock of the school of mines OF
the state university here. The object
of the exhibit is to present the undo
veloped resources Of North Dakota
and the possibility of developing in
dustries of many types. Nearly every
product exhibited in this connection
indicates a possible industry.
In the clay exhibit, the ceramics de-
partment of the university presents
products ranging over a large field
from high class art pottery, which is
second only to the lockwood pottery
through large numbers Of commercial
articles to the common brick, which
the state is beginning to manufacture
on a large scale.
The North Dakota pottery is made
from clays found in one locality, with
out an admixture of other substances
In this fact North Dakota has an ex
ceptional advantage.
In the art work of the ceramics de-
partment are exhibited fancy bowls
tea sets with various designs and vas
es Of all tints and shapes. Among 9th
er articles which are shown at the ex
position are the cooking utensils and
pipe, prate tile, hollow fireproof lining
clay, shingles flower pots and cruel
bles.

AIR, FOOD, WATER

These three things are what men
and animals live on. Which of the
three are the most important? We
answer, air. Cut off the supply of air
to man or beast and in four minutes
they are dead. Pure air and plenty
of it plays much the most important
part in sustaining life. Yet that is
not the opinion of the average farmer.
He is twice as solicitous to provide
food or drink to his COWS as he is to
provide pure air.
The trouble is the farmer can see the
food and water and he cannot see the
air. To get him to have a right un-
derstanding of the value of good air
he must be made to see the situation
| in the light of what science can give
him.
Thousands of herds of COWS are not
doing as we'll as they ought and the
reason is a lack of sufficient pure air
They get all the food and drink they
need but the air they breathe is foul
and that clogs the machinery at once
There has been tremendous amount
Of botch work in putting in ventila
| ton flues in COW stables. We have in
spected a number where there was
not a thing right and as it should be-
The farmer has jumped to the con
illusions that he knew all about it, or
| he trusted to some stupid carpenter
who was just as ignorant of the prin
ciples of ventilation but who pretend
ed to understand it. 1--WE put in lots
Of 'em," he will say, and the cows
suffer and the farmers pocket suffers
There is a little book, "Professor
Kings Ventilation" that sells for only
rs cents and every farmer that shuts
| up animals in stables nights ought to
own one. Professor King has worked
out the problem so you can see it
right berore your eyes and he tells you
how to construct such system.
Thousands of heards are wasting
every day the cost of this book and
the farmers do not know it. It is
time they did.

DECREASING COWS.

The Washington Star says the Ag-
|ricultural Department is worried over
the rapid decrease in cows and that
the reports of the statistical experts
|of the government show that the num-
Der of mich COWS in every New Eng
Hand state, except Vermont, has de-
creased during the year. The reports
to the department further show that in
many sections farmers are selling milk
for less than it costs them to produce
Well, under such circumstances, who
can wonder that COWS are decreasing?
In great many instances they ought
to decrease. One great reason why
farmers sell milk for less than it costs
them is that they keep class of COWS
that cannot possibly produce milk at
a profit. This is true of farmers all
over the country and not alone in New
England.
But we notice as we'll that the sup
ply of milk keeps up; that there is en-
ough of it produced so that the con-
sumner gets it for less than it costs to
produce, just the same as ever.
AS long as the supply of foolish far
mers keeps up who so widely insist
on keeping Improbable cows and pro-
ducing milk for less than it costs, the
government will continue to have
ample cause for worriment Now in
this matter is it not time for us to
learn that the real economic situa.
ton is not to be determined by the
number of cows but by the milk sup
ply. AS long as that keeps up we need
not worry.
