INDIVIDUALITY AS A FACTOR
Impossible to Separate What Is, and
Must Be, the Part of Mans
Own Being.

Any attempt to define the ultimate
spirit of the individual seems doomed
to failure.
There is a saying of Bishop But
ler's which might well be recommend
ed to the philosopher: Everything is
what it is. and o another thing"
So individuality is simply individ-
uality; and the attempt to discover
some further meaning for the word
can only lead to error.
We might be tempted, for instance.
to suggest that a mans true ego is
nothing more than his character.
But individuality goes deeper even
than character.
Character changes; the individual
remains the N
Thus a mar who in his youth is hon.
est may meet with temptations that
make him a thief; so. too, the senti-
mentalist may become a cynic.
The changing character is no more
than a manifestation Of the individ-
uality beneath.

BUILD UP THE HOME MARKET
Not Enough Attention Paid to Local
Needs by Many Breeders Of
Pure-Bred Stock.

Many breeders of pure.bred stock
fail to pay sufficient attention to their
local market. The excuse is often made
that the farmers near by will not pay
the prices a breeder ought to have for
producing high class breeding animals.
To the breeder located in a communi-
ty where the use of such stock has not
become firmly established this may be
true. 1t will be to the breeders inter
est to use his best efforts to educate
the men of his home community to the
value of this stock. 1t may be neces-
sary in the beginning to sell a breed.
ing animal occasionally for a little less
money than 1t might bring from one
familiar with its value. AS 1t Is dem
onstrated to these men that good
breeding pays in dollars and cents they
will gradually become willing to pay
more nearly what animals are worth
for breeding purposes.
During the past eason owing to bad
roads and bad weather conditions
many buyers from a distance were
prevented from marketing. 1t has
been interesting to observe the in
stances where the home market had
been systematically developed to such
extent that the Offering was taken at
fairly remunerative prices in spite of
the absence of outside buyers. A sue
cessful breeder of improved live stock
who e%ndeavors to build up a home
trade in this way is a good business
asset in the community. In the course
Of time the whole community will bene-
fit as a result of his work for live
stock improvement. Such men should
be given every encouragement pos.

TO CONSERVE PLANT
FOOD IN THE SOIL
Sooner or Later TiIler Must Quit
Robbing Soil and Feed It
as He Feeds FloCkS.

(By II. L. RUSSELL. Wisconsin Expert
ment Station.)
The processes of soil formation are
continually in the making. Weather.
ing is slowly but constantly releasing
new plant food, while at the same time
the processes Of depletion, erosion,
teaching and waste are %lessening the
value of this asset.
To ser this bank account and
to transmit it unimpaired to future
generations is a duty which the hui
man race owes to %posterity, but as
with nearly all Of our natural re-
sources, mar has wasted more than he
has used. In earlier years, when
knowledge did not exist, or was i'm.
perfectly appreciated, wanton prac-
tees led to rapid depletion or exhaus-
ton. Every virgin area that has been
opened up for settlement by man has
had its pioneer generation of soil min
ers, but If future human life is to re-
ceive adequate support from the soil.
sooner or later the soil-tiller must quit
robbing the land and feed his soil as
he feeds his 1ocks.
The last decade or two has brought
the American farmer to a more COM
plete realization than he has ever be-
fore known, of the duty that lies be-
fore him. The lessons that China and
Japan learned a thousand years ago
Or more made their way slowly to-
ward the occidental world. Even the
teachings of old England and the
plains Of Continental Europe fell heed
less OF American ears. To our fathers
the so-called inexhaustible fertility Of
the magnificent Mississippi Valley
could never be used up, but the de-
clining crop yields Of a section, wheth-
er it is wheat. corn or cotton, spell
lessening profit and impairment Of
capital.
Science has 10Y shown in no unmis-
taxable terms that as the chain Is no
stronger than it's weakest link, 80 the
soil is no richer than it's content Of its
most indispensable element, whether
it be depleted of its potash or phos-
phorus by age-long teaching or more
rapidly by careless crop production,
matters little. The effect is the same.

ADOPT CIVIL SERVICE LAWS
Provision Made for Appointment Of
Highway Employees In Accordance
With Merit System.

Six states, namely, Illinois, Ken.
lucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
New York and Wisconsin, now have
civil service laws providing for ap-
pointing of highway engineers and en-
ployees in accordance with. the merit
system.
A description of the system in effect
in each of the six states appears in
the Good Roads Year Book just issued
by the American Highway association
at Washington.
The summary Of automobile legisla-
ton in all the states is of timely in
terest in view Of the fact that nearly
100000 automobiles were registered
in the United States during 1914, for
which more than $12, 100000 in license
fees was paid.

CANADA FIGHTS HOG CHOLERA
Regulations for Admission Of Swine
From United States Are Very
Strict-Enforce Quarantine.

CBy II. PRESTON HosKINs.)
Vaccination Of hogs is not permit
ted in Canada. A regulation Of the
Canadian government reads as fol-
lows: "The use of hog cholera serum
or virus, being considered a source of
danger, the importation, manufacture,
sale or use of such serum or virus is
prohibited"
The regulations for the admission
Of hogs into Canada from the United
States are very strict. Hogs that
have been vaccinated by the double
method cannot be admitted. Hogs
coming from localities in which there
has been cholera within the past six
months are refused entrance. Hogs
which are not excluded for these rea.
SON are held in quarantine for one
month at the Canadian border before
being allowed to go to their destina-

GINGER AND SODA
GOOD FOR POULTRY
Easily Prepared Mixture Will
Keep Digestive Organs Toned
and in Condition.

Where milk is fed regularly to the
chickens, a teaspoonful Of ginger and
soda added to each gallon every third
or fourth day will prevent cholera or
other bowel troubles. Stir the mix
,ture until thoroughly dissolved, before
feeding. This is very easily prepared
and will keep their digestive organs
toned and sweetenci.
When ~fattening fowls. skim milk
should be used to mix the mash. They
like it better, and in this way are in
duced to eat Just as much more as the
milk, while serving as moisture to wet
the mash, is also a hearty food.
The food for young ducks should be
mixed with milk, and curds made from
sour milk are indispensable for young
turkeys

EGGS DAMAGED BY
IMPROPER STORAGE
Hens Should Be Provided With
Plenty of Clean Nests-Store
in Dark, Cool Place.

Dirty eggs can be avoided by clean
quarters and plenty of nests. In mud
dy times keep the floor of the poultry
house well bedded with clean litter.
One Of the chief causes of dirty eggs
is too few nests. A hen lays a clean
egg and leaves the nest, another hen
gets in the nest and stepping around in
it before she sits down, fouls the
clean egg laid by the first hen. Wet
straw in the nests often stains the
eggs a dirty yellow. Do not wash eggs.
This Injuries their keeping qualities.
Eggs kept in a damp, moldy place
and eggs smeared over from broken
eggs develop rotten spots. The farm.
er should keep eggs in a cool, dry,

COST OF ROAD Improvement
Federal Roads Bill Shifts Part of
Burden From Farmer to City Resi-
notwithstanding Figures.

That federal aid will shift part Of
the burden Of road improvement from
the farmer to the city resident, is
clearly shown by the report Of the
joint congressional committee pre-
pared by Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
chairman. Farmers will be particu-
larry interested in the figures present
ed.
Bourne shows that since national
revenues are derived from indirect
taxes, contributions to national funds
are practically in proportion to pop
ulation. While census reports show
that less than half of the people reside
in cities of $500 or more, the fact
Is that most residents of cities of g.

GET MOST FROM SHORTHORNS
Cow Is Equal to Any Other in Pro,

and In Giving Milk.

An Illinois writer in giving his rea-
IONS for preferring the Shorthorn

the conclusion that as a breed l get

the Shorthorn than from those of 9TH

2. The Shorthorn GOV is the equal
of any other in producing and raising
a bull calf, and the superior of the
COW of any other beef breed as a
mixer.
3. The Shorthorn COW not only
raises a good calf but pays her own
