In Venezuelan Forests.

There were many good rubber for.

old days. and for several years I was
engaged. sometimes alone and some
times in partnership, in Quitting
"grubstaking"-native rubber cutters,
and then buying the crude rubber upon
their return to my camps. writes an ex.
plorer. My own profit on the rubber
was about 500 per cent. but this did
not, as you may think. represent an
imposition on the natives. since my
own posts we're far in the interior. and
l had lot of trouble in getting the
product out to transportation. One of
my routes of travel was by the many
lagoons and rivers which indent the
Venezuelan coast. by means of which
men In canoes can penetrate far into
the interior Of that wild region. The
Guawoona country was at tho end of q
considerable chain of lagoons. and
where the ground rose rather abruptly
into the hilly and almost inaccessible
forests. This was good rubber country
and, though the Guawoonas themselves
never brought down any rubber. they
were exceedingly Jealous Of anybody
invading their chosen domain.
I had several bands of halfbreeds
working for me who would hunt rub
Der as a miner does gold. No chances
were too great II they promised a good
haul of rubber. Several sanguinary
conflicts had occurred with the Qua
woonas. and I almost decided to forbid
my men entering their territory. al
though there was little hope Of con-
trolling these resolute natives or
knowing where their trails would lead
once they plunged into the tropical
jungles.

PRODUCT OF THE DAIRY COW
Infection Of Milk Comes From Body
Of AnimaI-concrete Floor Is Most
Sanitary for Barn.

prepared by Dairy Division of Clemson
College.)
The Babcock test was first an
nounced to the world in 1890.
The greatest source of infection in
milk comes from the body Of the ami
NAL and the air of the stable.
Anything that will make it easier to
clean the stable will aid in the pro-
duction of pure milk.
The concrete floor is by long odds
the most sanitary for dairy barn and
should be used wherever possible.
In building a dairy barn. remember
that one is providing a place where
human food is to be produced.
Early breeding stunts growth.
Heifers should be bred to drop their
calves when about two years old or
older.
AS a rule. 1t is desirable to have
cows go dry at least a month before
calving. This has a beneficial effect
on the calf.
Dehorning is a good practice. It
makes cows quiet and docile and saves
them much pain that may be inflicted
when horns are retained.
Dairy cows have little spare flesh to
protect them from the cold. Comfort.
able housing in winter is. therefore.
very important.
The liquid manure of q COW is much
more valuable than the solid. It can
be saved by having watertight floor
ing and clean straw bedding.

MANNER OF SEALING A SIL0
Where siIage 10 to Stand for Some
Time Before Feeding Covering
Of Some Kind 10 Made.

lBy ]. @. WATSON. Missouri College of
Agriculture.)
There Is always some loss on the
top of the silage unless feeding is be-
gun as soon as the silo is filled. Where
the silage is to stand for some time be-
fore feeding 1t is customary to run in
three or four loads of cornstalks from
which the ears have been removed.
This material Is packed thoroughly:
then q liberal supply Of water Is
added. which will help to seal the silo.
and only q very small amount of
waste will result. Some farmers use
oat straw as a covering; others soak
the top of the silage with water and
SOW oats. which. when they germi-
nate, form q dense mass. which shuts
out the air and keeps the silage from
spelling.

fed horses will vary so much in their
requirements that it is difficult to
name any definite quantity which q
horse should have as his daily ration.
It should be regulated by the man
feeding the horse, and should be gov
erned by the capacity and needs OF
the horse. A stallion should not be
given more than he will clean up with
in half an hour after feeding. Always
leave him little hungry. Do not over
feed on hay, as it is not necessary to
crowd the horse full of hay all the
time. Do not stuff his manger full OF
hay once or twice day and allow him
to eat tin he cleans it up. That Is
poor way to feed hay. Chopped hay.
mixed with the grain. increases the ef-
ficiency of the ration. The horse
should be supplied with plenty Of good.
fresh. clean water. During the hot
weather the horse should be watered
quite frequently. Overlooking and lit
tie or no exercise tends to cause swol-
len legs, scratches. grease: wet
stall causes thrush and canker.
When you have done your part 80
far as feeding is concerned, remem-
Der that the horse needs exercise.
II you have a paddock in which he can
run, so much the better. II there Is
no other way to furnish exercise, the
horse should be walked. He, must
have exercise II you expect results
from him. A horse that is confined Is
not a very sure foal-getter. The very
best exercise for a stallion is to work
him daily at some light work. II ev-
cry stallion received a moderate
amount of exercise, the number OF
foals would increase from Is to 70
per cent. Keep him in well lighted
stable, and don't have him alone away
from the other horses.
Another thing some people forget is
grooming. Frequent and thorough
grooming is very essential to keep the
stallion comfortable and the skin in
good. healthy condition.

Animal Husbandry. Oklahoma A. and

Many stations are at least partially
ruined between seasons. This Is due
to improper feeding and care. Some
men starve their stations after the
breeding season on the theory that
they cannot afford to feed literally
when there is no income. This is GER
tainly mistake. It does not even re-
suit in a saving of feed. as it will cost
more to put the horse back into the
proper condition when the breeding
season opens. 1t is cheaper to keep
horse in good flesh all the time
than to allow him to run down during
a part Of the year and then by heavy
feeding for few months bring him
back to the required condition.
Crushed oats and bran with good
hay is hard to beat. Ground corn or
kafir, together with plenty of bran
and oilmeal also makes a splendid
ration. Horses that are overfed on
corn or kafir are never sure foal-get-
tiers. Bran is always a valuable sup
plement to any grain ration. 1t re-
lakes the system generally, corrects or
prevents digestive disorders, and at
the same time furnishes an abundance
Of bone and tissue-building material.
Soft, warm bran mashes once or twice
a week will serve to keep the bowels
in good condition. and little EPSON
salts may be added. Roots should be
used in Some form during the fall and
winter seasons. They certainly help
to keep the stallion in good condition
and to keep his digestive tract in a
good, healthy condition. In the spring
a few pounds of grass or other green
feed may take their place.
Conditioning a stallion is not lay.

GETTING A START
$$S@$--
(Copyrigh yl5 BY the Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate)
NATHANIEL G. c. FOWLER, Jr.

Few statesmen seem to realize that
courtesy-plain and simple politeness
is one of the greatest selling assets
and that it contributes largely to sue
cess.
One may not be by nature q good
seller of goods, and he may be def
cient in many other respects; but. II
he is uniformly courteous. IL he shows
a marked interest in the customer and
is obliging, he is likely to sell more
goods than is an expert salesman who
fails to realize the importance of
courtesy.
The popular salesman not only
makes. but holds. customers.
Thousands of buyers will wait q
quarter of an hour, or even longer, in
order to trade with their favorite
salesman. They feel at home with
him. He meets them with a smile, and
is, or appears to be. interested in their
affairs, although he is not obtrusive.
The customer instinctively feels his
friendship.
Courtesy Is valuable in every walk
Of life, in business and out of it. The
polite man or woman is always popu-
lar, provided he does not carry his
courtesy into flattery.
The popular man is not always the
man of great intellect, but he knows
how to make friends. by a charm of
manner, by a kindness of spirit,
| which is readily felt. by a real or ap-
parent unselfish interest in those with
whom he is associated
Popularity counts in business, and
counts nightly. Popularity makes
friends, and friends in the mart of
trade mean customers.
Those little things, which may seem
to be Of no account. frequently stand
between success and failure.
The great trouble with people now
adays is that they look into the clouds
and prepare themselves to handle mat
tiers of importance. forgetting that
things of consequence are but collec-
lions of little things. and that nothing
great can be accomplished until the
accomplished has perfected himself
In the small matters which collective
ly produce the finished product.
Not what you do. II you are on the
firing line Of business. but how you
do 1t, counts.

GETTING A BETTER POSITION.

The stagnant pool is useless and a
menace to health. It's water Is UNFIT
TO drink, and its sluggishness will not
turn a water wheel. 1t either dries
up or 1t remains a blot on the land
scape.
The man who stays where he is,
without thinking OF lettering his con-
dition is like the stagnant pool, for
sooner or later, unless he attempts to
create current, he will. like the
pool, dry up or else remain an unwel-
come member of society.
Conversely. however. there is al
ways as much danger in attempting
to rush as there is in remaining placid.
The mountain torrent, although act
i've, does not have the body or the
quantity of energy necessary for util-
ization.
However profitable your position
may be. you have right to consider
advancement. but when you carry this
consideration beyond the lines Of or
binary caution, and plunge. leap and
run, you are likely to dash yourself
to pieces and to be no better off-per-
haps worse off-than you would have
been had you remained at a stand
still.
Do not be dissatisfied with your lot
to the extent of making yourself mis-
cradle. Be dissatisfied only in 80 far
as 1t will encourage you to look ahead
and to attempt, with the use of your
common sense, to better your condi-
ton.
Do not make a move until you are
reasonably sure that it will lead to
improvement; and, further. do not
take undue chances.
II you have a family or others de-
pendent upon you. you have no right
to jeopardize their interests and your
own by taking speculative chances.
Plant yourself firmly upon the rock
of your present position. Reach out
into the unknown with both your
hands. Look for opportunity. When
you think you have found it. subject it
to every reasonable test, for half of
that which masquerades under the
name of opportunity is no firmer than
the idle wind which seems to come
from nowhere and to 60 nowhere.
Half of the failures of the world
are due to stagnation. to placidity, to
q refusal to move when opportunity
suggests 1t, and the other half is made
up of those men who are forever dis
satisfied, discontinued, and over-ambi-
tious; who, without thought, jump for
the first line that bangles before them.
without waiting to see whether the
other end 10 firmly fastened.
Thousands of young men have
thrown up present positions because
something else ceemed better. They
knew how badly of they were where
they were. and they tid not investi-
gate the future or attempt to analyze
apparent or real opportunity. They
plunged ahead. leaving q good founda-
ton, that they might reach what ap-
peared to be higher ground. and many
of them fioundered In the Quicksand
between.
Keep your feet firmly planted upon
the foundation of the present. always
looking ahead and upward. But look.
and keep on looking. for days. and
