Strong Advisory Board Planned.

The society will have in addition to
the offices a strong advisory board
composed of the Deans of some of the
leading agricultural colleges, heads IF
agricultural experiment stations, De-
partment of Agriculture men, leading
editors of agricultural papers, and
others. Permanent headquarters for
the society eventually will be Astab-
lished at Washington, d. c. At pres
ent offices have been taken at 2 West
Forty ffth street, New York City, and
from this point the work of organza-
ton will be directed.
1t is felt by those responsible for
the founding of the National Agricul-
tural Society that there should be IN
this country a national organization
to which the farmers could look for
help and guidance and which would be
their mouthpiece in agricultural mat
tiers of national concern.
In discussing the plans of the So
ciety, President James Wilson said:

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu-
tonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh. which is nothing but an infamed con-
diton of the mucous usrfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can

My Dear Mr.. Williams:
The iniquitous Shields bill, giving
away the water-powers of our navi-
gable streams, about which | wrote
you on February 49, has been driven
through the Senate, but it has not
passed the House. There is still
good chance not only to stop this raid
on public property, but to pass fair
ard honest waterpower bill in its
place.
Everything | said about the Shields
bill in my letter to you was confirmed
in the debate. According to its own
supporters. this bill turns over to the
power interests waterpower equiva-
lent to twice the mechanical power of
every kind now used in the United
States, or enough to meet the needs
Of two hundred million people. This it
does in perpetuity, although pretend
ing to limit the grant to fifty years.
Small wonder there is pressure to get
it through.
On March q a substitute for the
Shields bill was reported to the House
of Representatives Unlike the Shields
bill, this House bill makes no perpet-
ual grant of public waterpower, but
wisely in in fact sets a limit of fifty
years. Nevertheless. it is not yet
good bill. For example. it gives away
the public waterpowers without com
pensation. There is no reason WHY
the waterpower corporations should
not pay for what they get. The rest
of US do. The House bill should be
amended accordingly.
If the House corrects its own bill
and then passes it, the good bill from
the House and the bad bill from the
Senate will go to conference, and the
differences will be adjusted by the
conferees. The managers of the
waterpower campaign believe that a
majority of the conferees will be
friendly to them, and will report a bill
in their interest. They will then try
to rush the conference bill through,
probably in the confused and crowded
final hours of the session. Such a
plan has often served the special in
terests in the past, and it is dangerous
now.
During the debate on the Shields
bill, this course was openly advised.
There was under discussion an amend
ment giving preference to the appli-
cant for a public waterpower who
offers the best terms to the public. One
OF the supporters of the Shilds bill,
Senator Nelson of Minnesota, after
referring to the amendment as chad
and Vicious, went on to say. at is
something that we can eliminate in
| conference. We might let
it go in and then dispose of it in con-
ference Congressional Record,
March 8, 1916, page 1856.
We can beat this plan only by let
ting the people undertake the facts.
This the power interests have set out
to prevent by confusing the public
mind with interested statements and
personal attacks.

to get the House to pass good bill,

The chief claim to attention is based
upon the fact that this kind of apron
requires almost no ironing.

any means without interest. Many
aprons manage to be attractive, while
they cleverly fill all that is required

The tendency to feed heifers still
prevails with many cattle feeders. Elk.

are being paid for light heifers to go
into the pastures and stalk fields to be
roughed through the winter and then
corn fed on grass next summer for the

as much space. A barn 16x90 feet or

A straw shed for cattle should be
seven or eight feet high. The construc-
ton of such buildings is very simple.
Posts are usually set in the ground
eight to twelve feet apart and strong
timbers put on top of these with poles
close enough together to carry the
straw on top of the timbers. Walls
are constructed by making two walls
two or more feet apart and packing
with straw. These walls may be made
of poles, boards or woven wire, as de-
sired.
Hogs will require from ten to If
teen square feet of floor space each
in a straw shed. Fifty hogs will re-
quire a shed about 20x30 feet in size.
II is better to keep the hogs in a sep
arate building from the cattle. The
shed for hogs need not be more than
four or five feet high. It is advisable
to make the walls tight, using woven
wiie. or something equally good. so the

LARGE INCREASE IN GAME,
FISH and OYSTER RETURNS
Net Proceeds for Eight Months, $t1,
$751;, and Total Collections From
All Accounts, S41,51o3s.

Austin, Tex.-Figures prepared BY
the game, fish and oyster department,
showing business of that department
for the present fiscal year to date,
show an unusual increase in returns
from game, fish and oyster accounts.
For seven months of the current fiscal
year the game account is credited with
$9,S47.95, as compared with a total OF
$4,695.1O for the fiscal year 1914.15,
or an increase of $4,652.25 in seven
months. The fish and oyster accounts
show an increase of $1,27O.62 in the
same period.
Net proceeds Of the department for
eight months have been $11,616.11
Total collections Of the game, fish and
oyster accounts have been $26,980.S1,
and from all accounts the total has
been $41,510.39. Disbursements dur.
ing this same period have amounted
to s29,S94.2S.
The amount Of fish and oyster bust
ness shows an increase of about 400
per cent, attributed to thorough and
systematic campaigning on the gull
coast and on the tributary streams by
the inspectors of the department. In
addition to the increased business the
department records show that some
oyster beds have been closed and new
ones are being developed.
The returns from the game fund are
from game licenses, fines, etc. The
department during the last hunting
season had a large force Of deputies
in the field, who pressed prosecutions
for failure to have proper licenses oil
for killing deer or game out OF season
Another phase OF the state laws given
special attention are those with re
spect to the sale of deer hides, etc.
