HIRING AND FIRING.

Do employers realize the waste and
extravaganza and actual money loss due
to haphazard hiring and firing?
Twelve typical factories were recent
" investigated as to their employment
records by NJ w. Alexander. lie chose
the normal industrial year of 1912. lie
chose representative factories, big and
little, in several states. The results
of this inquiry were reported in am ad-
dress before the National Association
of Manufacturers, which is reported
in Current Affairs, the publication of
the Boston Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Alexander found that this group
of factories had 1924 employees at the
beginning of 1912, and 1921 at the
end of the year-a net increase of g.
G97 workers. But the books showed
that the factories had actually hired
42,57l new hands, 1854 having been
dropped during the year Of course.
not all were fired. Some were absent
because of sickness, some died, some
left voluntarily; but these were only a
small proportion. And the fact re
mains that in order to increase their
working force by 6,697 these II in
dustries had TO break in 1851 new
employees and suffer the consequent ex-
ira expense of instruction cost, re-
duced production, and beginners
spoiled work. Making liberal discounts
for the workers unavoidably with
drawn, it is estimated that these u
factories suffered a definite money loss
of more than $831,0O0 during the year
on account of reckless hiring and fir
ing.
The conclusion seems justified: "Tht
highest grade of judgment in the hir
ing and discharging of employees is
needed. The employment clerk of &c
day will have to be replaced by the
employment superintendent of tomor
row, not merely by changing the It'll,
and salary of the incumbent of the of
fee, but by placing III charge of thi
important branch of management ;
man whose character, breadth of view
and capacity eminently qualify hin
for the discharge of these duties.''

Washington correspondents of Bos-
ton and New York newspapers have
been telling about the youngest high
priest of a chapter of Royal Arch Ma
sons in the United States this honor
being claimed for Robert L. Zachary
of the Washington bureau of the
Brooklyn Eagle, who presides over
Mount Vernon chapter in Alexandria,
Va, at the age of 81. The statement
is probably correct at the present time,
but last year the high priest of Fort
Dummer Royal Arch chapter of Brat
tleboro was Kendrick p. harrington,
26 years old, who went from here a
few months ago to fill an important
position with the Estey Organ com
pany's Philadelphia Office. Mr.. Bar
rington at the age of 26 was also elect
ed worshipful master of the Columbian
lodge, but declined the office.

1t was hardly necessary for Sweden
to proclaim her continued neutrality
and to deny that she has any idea of
entering the war on the side of Ger
many If Sweden should enter the war
her shipping would be driven from the
seas. The embargo on all classes Of
imports that bothers Germany, is spite
of her protestations to the contrary,
would be applied to Sweden. 1t so hap
pens that Sweden has made big bunch
of money out of sales TO Germany just
as the United States has out of sales
to other European countries. Sweden
also trades generously with England.
Sweden will not enter the war to strike
blow at her ancient enemy, Russia.

denial, but, at the risk of fortune and
fame, pushes through all opposition,
and is determined that what he thinks
he has discovered shall not perish for
want of fair trial. Other persons had
noticed tie effect of coal gas in produc-
ing light; but Winsor worried the
town with bad English for three win
tiers before he could attract any serious
attention to his views. Many persons
broke stones before Macadam, but
Macadam felt the discovery more
strongly, stated it more clearly, per
severed in it with greater tenacity,
welded his hammer, in short, with
greater force than other men, and
finally succeeded in bringing his plan
into general use.-Sidney Smith.

DAIRY .|''' COWS j ! n NEED e T.. . !.
LIGHT AND EXERCISE

One of my first and most serious
mistakes upon coming on the farm was
to make the ceilings of my cow sta
bles too low and not to provide light
enough, writes e. L. Vincent in the
Iowa Homestead. l found an old
barn on the place, which 1 soon made
over. I had a chance then to put
the basement higher and furnish much
more light. But did not realize the
Importance of these things then as
do now made the ceilings but
eight feet high, and 1 fell into an
error common to the times Of putting
wooden slides in the place where glass
should have been for the windows.
1t did not take me long, however, to
discover my mistake and set about
making it right. I took the basement
all out, dug down and put in a cement
floor, raising the walls so that there
were nine feet in the clear for air
space. get it too. never have
felt since I made this change that
the COWS were not getting all the fresh
air they needed.
Then, too, I made sure of the ques-
ton of light. I put in windows so that
the stable is really as Eight as day."
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1915-12-23

Now it suits me. l find far too many
barns still built on the old plan, though,
with low ceilings and few windows.
The result is that the COWS have colds
a good share of the time, and they
do not feel as well as if they had plen-
ty Of light and air.
i But l do not think we ought to be
exercise out Of doors every day. Light
and air are good, but if coupled with
exercise we have a strong combination
working for health and efficiency. The
problem of dairying is largely solved
when we have mastered this trio of
factors-life, air and exercise. -. .s~z,ssss.
To live every animal, human or 9th
erwise, must have a chance to move
about. setting the blood in circulation
and aerating the lungs. Any living
creature will breathe more if compelled
or allowed to work. That sends the
air away down into the lungs and
puriiies the whole circulatory system.
The man will die if his blood gets stag
nant. as it will if he sits around and
never takes any exercise.
So the COW that can get out and walk
or run if she wants to will come in
with a better appetite than if she is
shut up all the time. l have tried that
to my satisfaction. l do not think
cows that have the privilege of exer-
cising this way are as apt to have tu-
berculosis or other respiratory diseases
as those which are confined constantly.
Feed is all right. care is good. but ex-
ercise is absolutely necessary.

Care Of Calves In Winter,

Calves that come late in the fall or
in the winter need to be cared for
better than those which are dropped
IN warmer weather if they are to do
very well. Like babies. calves must
be kept warm and dry and clean. One
of the best things | ever have learned
about the care of calves is to keep
them dry. A wet bed. especially in
cold weather, draws the very life out
of the little fellows. They should have
Il change of bedding every day, and,
unless the drainage is good. it would
be better to give them a change twice
a day. For this bedding nothing is
better than good dry oat straw. That
is softer than wheat straw. | have
seen calves get quite sore with wet
buckwheat bedding-IOwa Homestead.
