DOANE ON FARM PLANNING
State Adviser Tells Farmers How to
Judge Their Fields.

D. H. Doane, state leader of farm
advisers, talked yesterday rs part of
the Farmers Week program on Lay
ing Out The Farm"
an planning farm with which one
is not acquainted" said Mr.. Doane,"
the first thing to observe is the char
acter of SOIL" He then showed that
this might be done to some extent by
observing the character of tree and
weed growth. A good soil is indicat-
ed by the growth of walnut or elm, or
by smart weed or jimpson weed. while
scrub oak or post oak is Indicative of
thin soil. Sheep sorrel and dog
hair grow on sour soils. A dark soil
usually contains a larger amount of
organic matter than a light colored
soil. When the vegetable matter is
present in sufficient amounts, the ten
chemical elements needed for plant
growth are usually present also.
The likes and dislikes of the farmer
usually intermine the kind of farming
done. The things liked best are the
ones usually most profitable A map
of the farm should be made showing
the acreage of each field, the crop
grown every year and the yield. In
conclusion Mr.. Doane stated that one
of the most difficult problems in re-
planning a farm was the uniform dis
tribution Of horse and man labor
through the year. The average num-
Der of hours day for horse in this
state is about three.

CLEANLINESS A DAIRY PROBLEM
Value of Sanitary Conditions Cannot
Be Oyerestimated.

Cleanliness" was the keynote of a
lecture on Sanitary Handling of
Milk" given by Prof. L. G. Rinkle
yesterday morning before some of
the visiting farmers Mr.. Rinkle said
that the importance of a clean dairy
barn, admitting plenty of sunlight,
could not be overestimated.
The lecture was illustrated with
views of several of Missouri's model
commercial dairies, which were con-
trasted with views of other dairies
having undesirable conditions. En-
phasis was laid on the fact that cows
should be as free from dirt as possi-
BILE at the time of milking. Methods
of bottling and taking care of the
milk before delivery to customers
were discussed.

BETTER BUSINESS.

Almost every good-sized business
concern in the country announces that
it did larger business in 1914 than
ever before. In spite of the demands
for charity and in spite of the many
out of work, there are people who
have more money and more people
who have money than ever before. We
have demands for charity with US al
ways. The proportion of people un-
employed varies, but we always have
with US some unemployed. These are
not the harbingers of hard times.
1914 was good for trade and business
in general. 1915 will be better than
ever. Readjustment from the break
in normal conditions as caused by the
war in Europe has already begun.
Our increasing exports are becoming
distributed more widely through the
channels of trade We have begun to
do a larger business than ever. Eu-
rope cries to us for food and other
commodities; South America is call
ing for exports from US, while our
other trade already established re-
mains as good as ever. 1915 will be
a better and bigger year for US and
we will be in financial prosperity long
before Europe is out of the horror of
war.

TELLS HOW TO CURE MEAT
Professor TrOwbridge Gives Farmers
His Recipe for Preserving Pork.

Pork must be thoroughly cooled to
insure good keeping qualities when
cured. If cured before the animal heat
is out the shrinkage of the muscles
causes retention of gases, giving an
odor to the meat" said Prof. P. F..
Trowbridge of the agricultural chem
istry department in lecture on meat
curing yesterday.
Professor Trowbridge recommends
the dry-curing of pork in preference
to brine curing. The Virginia cure"
commonly known as sugar curing"
will make the pork more palatable and
of better flavor than brine cure. The
"Virginia cure" is as follows: For
every 1000 pounds Of dressed meat
mix 40 pounds salt, 10 pounds of sugar,
pounds of pepper, u pound of red
pepper and pounds of saltpeter.
This mixture should be rubbed over
the meat taking great care to cover
all the cut surfaces and especially
the shank end Pack the pieces of
meat in a box or barrel as closely as
possible After two or three weeks
the meat will be cured enough to
smoke.

BREAKING BREAD TOGETHER.

1t is an appropriate custom that the
annual Farmers Week exercises al
the University of Missouri should close
with a banquet. The farmers are the
food producers of the state, and it is
fitting that their yearly chautauqua
should enable them to sit down to-
gether and partake of their own
products.
Men that break bread together are
men that are dwelling In accord, in
peace with one another and with all
the world. Envy and hatred have no
place at the banquet board; friend
ship only can remain with them that
dine.
So the farmers that are to eat to-
gether Friday night have no alterna-
tive; they must take with them from
Columbia only the pleasantest OF men,
ories of their stay here and knowledge
gained from the specialists that have
addressed them. Their Governor has
spoken to them; their national Secre-
tary of Agriculture has brought his
message; their State University has
demonstrated its work; their State
Board of Agriculture has entertained
them.
The men that will break bread to-
gether Friday night must part shortly
thereafter; but they will part with a
new feeling of cooperation, new ap-
probation of their fellow-farmers and
of their state school and a new i'm
pulse to plow truer and harvest more
carefully for the glory of their own
good commonwealth of Missouri

HOW THE EMDEN WAS SUNK
E. P. Roberts Writes of Destruction of
German Ship by the Sydney.

To the Editor of the Missourian:-
In a letter from Australia the other
day, learned of the way in which the
Emden was destroyed by the Sydney.
On or about the twentieth of October
twenty-three transports left Adelaide
for an unknown port. At Freemantle,
two more transports quietly drew an
chor and steamed to meet the others.
Fourteen cruisers conveyed these YES
sells across the Indian Ocean. A few
days out at sea, the Sydney sighted the
Emden and began the chase which re-
suited in the utter destruction of the
Emden.
Great excitement reigned in the
contingent. When the victory was re-
ported, every prisoner in confinement
was released, and pint of beer was
given to every soldier who drank. For
the rest of the voyage new spirit in
spired the troops. They are now en-

ENJOY THE wOMEN's GYM
Visiting Girls Have Been Playing
flames and Dancing.

The girls here for Farmers Week
have been having the time of their
lives" playing games, dancing and u.s.
ing the apparatus in the Women's
Gymnasium The gymnasium has
been social center for these girls.
The faculty of the department of wom-
ems athletics have been giving them
instruction in various form of gym
nastics. There is very little work in
gymnasium given in the country
schools of the state.
Misses Edith Guier and Monta Pot
ter of Saline County expressed their
regret at the lack of gymnastics in the
schools. 1--WE have no sort of ath-
letic training at ALL" they said, "but
when we return home We will see
what we can do ito start It."

NOVEL EMPLOYMENT AGENCY.

The coroner of Chicago has the first
right to credit for a unique system
of aiding the unemployed men of that
city. He summons unemployed men
as Jurors. In this way he has been
able to give a dollar or two to each of
more than 1000 persons.
A further result of this scheme is
that the coroner has been able to
switch the thoughts of some twenty
or more men from suicide to living
and caring for their families. By strik-
ing home the lesson of suicide as found
in the remains of those who have killed
themselves and by picturing the grief
of the families of the deceased, he
has given many respondent man a
better hold on life.
This coroner is using HIS Office for
the good of men. He is using his
wits to be of service to his brothers.
He is as nearly as possible his broth
er's helper The record of helping
1000 brothers who are "down-and-out-
ers" is a mark worthy of establish
ment by any man.
