Hold the Guilty Responsible.
(Colfax Commoner.l

When the governor discovered the
shortage in the industrial insurance

out and punish the guilty parties, his
efforts were hampered by the blare
Of q thousand Republican newspapers,
who sought by this method to make
the governors work of bringing the
guilty to justice both difficult and
costly to the taxpayers of this state.
The duty of discovering the shortage
In the different departments of state,

delegated by Republican legislature
to the hands of q state board of &C
countancy, who are appointed by the
state auditor. Clausen. who IL the

Az soon as this fact was brought to
the attention Of the Republican pa

at the head Of the affairs of state who
never ceases working for the inter-

beliefs Of men guilty Of looting. It
matters not to the governor whether
a man caught stealing be Democrat
or Republican, whether he be a clerk
or an official head Of department,
counts not an atom In the oficial
scales of justice, nor stays in the least
the hand Of the governor in seeking
out and bringing the guilty to just

on this matter is we'll understood and
he needs no urging by the press of
this state to perform the full duty
which he owes to the citizens Of

1.-THE BALANCED RATION.
BY II. L Dvorachek, Professor OF Ami
NAL Husbandry, L. of A.

/ BY II. +. Dvorachek, Professor OF Ami
mai Husbandry, L of A,
The writing of this article is IN
dertaken with the express purpose in
view of bringing out the facts which
go to show that the balanced ration is
a reality and not complicated i'm
| aginary scientific standard which is
beyond the comprehension of all but
the college professor. 1t is a fact that
large proportion of practical feed
ers feel that it is a good subject for
| discussion, but do not adopt it,
From the preceding article it was
learned that muscle and protein It's
sue in the body came from protein
substances in plant and animal foods.
Heat, fat and energy come from car
bohydrates and fats. The demand for
these compounds varies with the
needs of the body. When an animal
is growing, and therefore building
muscle, hide, animal matter in bone,
etc, the demand would naturally be
for protein if development is to take
place normally. If the animal is ma
ture and is being fattened, carbohy-
drates and fats should be supplied
literally, as shey form fats more eco
nomically than protein. If, then, the
feeder supplies sufficient amounts of
protein, carbohydrates and fats to ad-
equately meet the needs of the ami
NAL fed under these varying condi-
tons of growth, fattening work, etc,
he is feeding a balanced ration.
The balanced ration is the result OF
experimental work where animals
were fed known amounts of the va
rious nutrients and their development
noted. II was established that if a
growing animal were to develop nor
mally it must be fed not less than a
certain minimum amount each of pro
tcin, carbohydrates, and fats. This
minimum is known as the feeding
standard for growing animals of the
same class. If. then, we feed animals
foods which contain nutrients suffi-
cient to satisfy this standard, we
should be and are feeding balanced
ration. We have feeding standards
which are adapted to all classes of
live stock and for various conditions
of production.
The question is often asked wheth-
er or not it is necessary under all
conditions to feed a balanced ration
as set forth by a feeding standard.
There is no question in my mind that
there are conditions under which The
feeding of balanced ration would he

standpoint Our feeding standards

the incentive and inapiration that
comes of numbers As soon as the
boy and girl are free from the oper-
alton oi tho compulsorl attendance
Ian, they, too Often leave school be
cause they md little 10 attract
It is held by all students OF this
problem that tDD only remedy is the
consolidating OF uniting OF two or
three or more small or weak schools
into one. Consolidation, in its fullest
sense, means the DISCRIMINATION of
TWO, three or more school districts
and uniting them into one large
school district, organizing in it a large
central school, and if necessary.
Transporting the pupils thereto,
Al first thought consolidation
would seem expensive Experience,
however, shows that this is not true to
any considerable degree. BY combin-
ing small schools, fewer teachers are
needed than under the separate sys-
TEN, thus saving certain outlay.
While several buildings are now nee
essarily maintained, under the new
plan but one needs 10 be provided and
cared for
Consolidation is by no means a new
movement. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, South Da-
kota. Kansas and Colorado are all
abandoning their weak schools
North Carolina has only recently con
solidatcd twelve hundred districts.
The difficulties in the way of con
solidation are bad roads and a dislike
to see the school house placed in any
location that is farther from the farm
than the old site, Some of the more
obvious Of the many advantages OF
consolidation follow:
% Many country school districts
are so small and weak that no school
is conducted; CD many others consist
OF but three or four pupils, and the
expense for elementary schooling fire
ition for collegiate instruction; 60 al

are too small to be even fairly sue

are only approximate at best, ana
should be looked upon as a guide rath-
err than as absolute requirements.
The analyses of feeds are also aver
ages since the composition of plants
is affected by the character of the
soil upon which they are grown, eli
matte conditions, methods of curing,
and other factors. Variations must be
made to suit the individual needs of
the animals fed, and the feeder him
self must make these variations, guild
ed by the results obtained. Nothing
is more true in live stock feeding than
the old German adage. The eye of
the master fattens his cattle" How
ever, We can say that the minimum
of protein must at least be satisfied,
although an excess of protein may be
fed making the ration very narrow,
but still economical, This condition
will always arise where such feeds
as alfalfa and cotton seed meal are
cheap and fed literally, Tsis extra
supply of protein is not necessary,
but it makes economical ration.
In figuring a balapced ia ion there
are nany factors TO be considered.
The mere meeting of the require
ments will not always give a salts
factory ration y few of tEf mO,e
important factors will be briefly treat
ed. Feed selected should be such as

II. CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS
BY J. r jewell Dean School Of Edu-
cation University Of Arkansas.


cation University Of Arkansas
The most pressing educational
problem today is that of the rural
school Most of the teachers are in
experienced, and salaries are so low
that we can hardly expect better
teachers in rural schools for some
time to come The average age of
teachers is continually lowering. and
more and more our country children
have as a teacher some boy or girl
only just recently graduated from
just such a school as he OF she is to
teach, but who has never seen a bet
ter school than the one just left
Progress in every phase of life has
been so rapid, competition is now so
severe and methods of business have
so changed that a better and broader
education is necessary for our coun-
try children. The proper education of
the farm boys and girls cannot be neg
lected without finally bringing ruin
upon the farming communities. II
these advantages are not provided
they will drift into other callings.
When we reflect that it costs lust
as much to support small school as
one OF thirty or more pupils. we catch
some idea of the tremendous per cap
ita cost OF the Arkansas rural school.
If, through consolidation or otherwise,
these rural schools could be brought
to have an average attendance of saw
thirty five pupils. the number OF
teachers required therein would be
one-half the number now employed.
But the financial question, however
important. is not the most important
consideration. The fatal weakness In
these schools lies in their size. II is
impossible that schools so small as
many OF these are should do the bex,
work. With but a handful of pupils
no teacher can secure tho best m,
