is almost universally true, which l
can prove. Right here in Chicago it
is so. The Consumers Co. is the big
gest of its kind in Chicago. 1t gives
Christmas present of free life insur-
ance to all its help. Do any of the
piker companies in the same line of
business do that much for their work
erS? should say not! The smaller
the company the smaller the pay and
less certainty of steady job. The
Eastman Kodak Co., the biggest of
its kind, gives out one million dollars
to its help. Do the other pikers in
the same business do this? Their
souls are too withered. In the cloth
ing business Hart, Schaffner & Marx
treated their help better for, years,
but did the little shrimps in the bust
ness do So until very recently? Mr.
Crane is the biggest man in business
of that kind in Chicago and he gives
all his help a profit share which is
considerable. But the one-horse
concerns in the same line of business
do not.
Mr.. Woolworth died in New York
city. He was the biggest man in the
-10-cent store business and he gave
millions to his help when he died. The
bigger the man the bigger the heart.
Henry Ford, the biggest man in the
automobile business, also pays his
help the highest wages of any firm in
the world. Even RockefeIler's oil
men do not go on strike and the Colo
RADIO affair has been adjusted more
fairly by Rockefeller than any piker
millionaire would have handled it.
Carnegie's men seldom go on strike,
and when railroad men go out on
strike they win in hurry because

In any event, the umbilical cord OF
the foal should be washed in a dis

CARING FOR SOWS
AT WEAVING TIME
Best Decrease Amount of Feed
and Turn Her Into Separate
Yard Away From Pigs.

1t is best to decrease the amount of
feed that is allowed the SOW day or
two before weaving time and turn
her in separate yard away from the
pigs and allow her very little feed out
side of the pasture for four or five
days, so that her milk flow will cease
and not injure her for future breed
ing.
After this, bran and short feed in
a thick slop and one or two ears OF
corn will prove an excellent ration
fol-. few weeks. At all times pro-
vide plenty of pure water, charcoal and
salt.
After breeding increase the amount
of millfeed and feed less corn for
about eight weeks and then supple
ment the millfeed with one pound of
tankage and find that one pound a
day for each SOW will bring satisfao-
tory results at narrowing time

USEFUL TOOLS FOR
WORK IN ORCHARDS
Blade Of Moving Machine, Fitted
TO Wooden Handle, viii Be
Found Satisfactory.

A useful tool for cutting canes of
hush fruits is made from the blade of
a moving machine fitted to a wooden
handle. 1t looks like tomahawk with
a sharp blade on each side. The blade
stands at an angle which gives 1t the
right slope to cut well without tearing
the plants. 1t should be made of the
very best steel and the lower edge OF
the blade should be kept very sharp
across the full face.
Another useful tool is made from an
old file or wood rssp. with shoulder
or lug turned up to fit on scythe
snath The same tool works better,
however, with straight handle. But

SOME ESSENTIALS
Of FARM ANIMALS
Farmer Makes Mistake in Breed
ing Horses Not Adapted to
His Requirements.

Poor and worthless old plugs tug
ging in the harness keep company
holding the lines.
Even an old plug horse may be kept
neat and clean and be afforded a suffi-
cient amount of wholesome food so
that it may be capable of doing some
useful work.
The grade sire is a proposition we
should steer clear OF.
Prepotency is fixed characteristic
in all purebred sires.
The average farmer makes a mis-
take when he breeds trotting horses
or other breeds not adapted to his
business.
No one point is more essential than
sound, well-shaped hoofs, The value
of a horse depends to a large extent
upon his feet.
The fact that horse has been i'm
ported does not add one cent to its
intrinsic value for breeding purposes.
However, many horse breeders believe
that about the only requisite is that
stallion should come from some for
eign country. The facts are that
America should be and is breeding her
own draft horses instead of importing
| them.
We are fast getting over the notion
that we are dependent upon breeders
of the old world for improved live
| stock
| Potbellied, hay-fed colts tell the
| story of improper feeding, slow
| growth and poor form.

The young colt needs the best of
care on the farm, for its life depends
upon the care it gets during the first
few weeks of It's life. Navel-ill in
colts requires close attention, for the
disease is caused by a micro-organ-
ism. Several bacteria have been sus-
pected of being responsible for this
malady. Every one of the suspected
organisms is found abundantly in
manure and on objects contaminated
with manure. The infective material
gains entrance into the colt through
the open umbilical cord, as result
of its coming in contact with litter,
floors or discharge from its dam, con-
taminated by one of the organisms
that cause the trouble.
One of the easiest ways to ,revent
the disease is to insist upon clean
stables. II isn't a hard task to keep
the stalls clean If they are watched
each day. Mares in the latest stages
of CESSATION should be placed in a
box stall that has been previously
cleaned and disinfected. The bedding
should be renewed frequently and the
external genital organs OF the mare
and the neighboring tissues should be
cleaned and disinfected with 2 per
cent solution of carbolic acid. or a
per cent solution of some coal tar dis
infectant. Operations for opening alb
scesses and the removal of after-births
from cows should not be performed in
the immediate vicinity of the preg-
nant mare. 1t is up to the farmer to
watch these matters closely and a

LIVES IN PRESENT
Centenarian Doesn't Long for
"Good Old Times"
Mrs. Alice Harrison. Just Turned 100
Keeps Up With the Times and
Has No Special Formula
for Longevity.

Denver.-Mrs. Alice Harrison
reached the century mark of life re
Gently. Mrs. Harrison has no formula
for the use of those who wish to live
to be one hundred years old. She has
lived just an average sort of life. And
at the age of one hundred years she
is fairly regular church attendant,
takes occasional strolls about the
neigh5orhood of her horne, waits on !
herself and entertains her many
friends when they drop in to seq her
She sews on patchwork quilts and
makes fancy work for amusement,
and reads the war news. Perhaps
she still retains a trace of youthful
vanity. because she has always re-
fused to have her picture published.
Mrs Harrison has made no espe-
cial effort to take care of her health.
Neither has she refrained entirely
from the use of medicine and the
patronage OF doctors. She has led a
sedentary life, which ia generally con-
sidered less healthfu1 than a more
active existence. Her chief occupa-
ton has always been sewing. and read
ing has been and is her chief amuse-
ment.
Mrs. Harrison was born in Ken
lucky. May 28. 1915. the year of the
battle of Waterloo. The greatest war
that had ever been known was con-
vulsing the world at the time of her
birth. But she has lived to see Eu-
rope engaged in another war which
makes the Napoleonic conflicts seem
puny.
Mrs. Harrison moved to Missouri
with her father and mother when she
was ten years old. She grew up and
married there, and was the mother of
eight children. She has outlived
four of her children, and may outlive
more of them If she continues to hold
her age in the future as she has for
the past few years. She came to
Denver forty years ago to make her
home with her son. Nathaniel L. Har-
rison. Since that time she has made
many friends here. She has always
liked Denver. but says she can be
happy anywhere.
Perhaps the secret of her remark.
| ably long life is that she doesn't live
in the past as much as most old peo-
pie do. The present time suits Mrs.
Harrison and she enjoys the comforts
of advanced age instead of pining for
the candlesticks and feather beds oi
her youth.
She takes an interest in The Euro
pean war and reads the news of the
sinking of the Lusitania without re.
marking that such things never hap
| pened in her day She doesn't care
to meet strangers, but she takes
strong interest in the doings of her
friends.
She can remember the Mexican
war. She has lived through the time
of the invention of the telephone, the
telegraph, the automobile, the phono
graph and the wireless telegraph She
has seen the candle replaced by gas
kerosene and electricity. She has
seen the marvel of an earlier age. the
ironclad battleship, made useless by
the invention of the submarine.

will mean that much OF good Will
result from the work in years TO
come as well as for the time being.
The Boys and Girls Club work
is receiving a great deal OF atten-
ton from the several county agents
at present. 1t is hoped that hun
dreds of boys and girls will be en-
rolled during the year. Attractive
prizes will be offered for the win
ners in the club work, some OF
which are already guaranteed. The
Peoples Guarantee and Trust Co.
of Wilmington was the first bank to
accept the proposition OF offering
a liberal premium, and other banks
and business houses will doubtless
follow. For every boy that grows
an acre of corn, or for every girl
that enters a garden or canning
club, we shall need some older per-
son to guide them in their work and
lend encouragement. Blanks for
the enrolment Of club members will
soon be ready for distribution. A
letter to the County Agent or the
County Superintendent will bring
full information. Every school
teacher will within a few days be
able to give the details of the work
to any inquirer. A pruning dem
onstration will be conducted in the
near future.

kind were practiced in other direc-
tions. Vacations at the seaside or
in the mountains were taken by
very few Of the townsfolk. Squire
Ray had made the trip up the Hud-
son, and he definitely identified
as a scene that he had viewed
hideous picture Of the "Hudson
River School, which my father
in moment Of aesthetical abberra-
ton, had bought from a travelling
peddlar for $3.50. Chapel street

homes Of work folk in Dean s mill.
Whole families worked in the mill,
from the boy of twelve or fourteen
to the father and mother. | recall
that some Of the younger workers
earned $16 a month. Mr.. Dean
himself was an interesting and Wig
orous character. When called as a
witness before Congress upon the
subject of the tariff, he answered
to the question, "You are a manu-
facturer Of woollens9", " Twas un-
til your tariff made me a manufac-
turer Of shoddy." When Mr.. Dean
went to Europe some years later,
he sent back letters to Every Even
ing, which I, as subordinate in
the office, was expected to do. They
found no editing to do. They
were admirable in style, beautiful
example of what a vigorous man
with no pretence to literary cult
ure can do when he writes upon a
subject that he knows and loves.
Outside influences did not great

There was no public library, and
few families had many books. Ny
fathers were mostly theological,
though there was a merciful admix-
ture of English Classics, mainly of
the period before 1920 / think no
resident Of the town had been to
Europe. Few magazines were
taken, though l remember that
Harper's Weekly came to our
house, and Gody's Lady's Book.
Of course we had the Princeton Re-
view, and of course I did not read
it. Local opinion was pretty severe
as to good many things that are
now not only tolerated but ex,
tremely popular. Cards were for
hidden in many families, and many
had strict notions as to dancing. L
is doubtful wether anybody went
up to Philadelphia to attend the
theatre. Gold for us had not beer
