PROPER SHELTER FOR LAMBS
Animals Fed in WelI-VentiIated Barn
Make Same Gains as Those
Kept in Open Sheds.

In a series of tests in feeding west
ern lambs, the Indiana experiment sta
ton found that lambs fed in we'll
ventilated barn at the same amount of
feed and made the same gain in weight
as those fed in an open shed.
The profit erlamb was "a cents per
head ina barn,-as compared with S1.04
per head in an open shed.
Although feed was high in price, the
margin in value of feeding and fat
lambs was sufficient to insure sat
isfactory profit on the operation.

CHICAGO HERALD FOR WILSON

Chicago, Oct. 27.-The Chicago
Herald, an Independent newspaper,
published by James Kelley, prints
today two-column editorial indoors
ing President Wilson for a second
term. The Herald criticizes the meth
cd by which the Adamson Bill was
passed, but adds: zone action need
not infect whole program, In con-
clusion the Herald says:
"Too much bitterness, too much
personality, has been injected into
the campaign. The charge of vel

great masses of the American people
refutes itself. But after November

WILSON CHANGED THIS

Under Republican tariff protection
American consumers were taxed ST.
500,O00,O00 year in extra prices
over and above the prices at which
the tariff benefciaries sold their
goods in foreign markets. And the
average American family spending
81, 900 year for living expenses paid
800 as tariff tribute. Machinists'
hammers cost $3.50 for American
mechanics and were quoted at IS for
export. A baby carriage cost an
American mother $3.50 and sold
abroad for $3.50, and so on down
through the Republican tariff protec-
ton list.
A remarkable change has been
brought about by the Wilson admin
istration. There is not now single

FARMING AS A BUSINESS

ITO presume that a man can be a
successful farmer, regardless of pre-
vious experience or qualifications Is
as logical as to say that man can be

training, or successful doctor with

sor Of farm management in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
Farming requires special training
the same as any other vocation" said
Mr.. Grimes. "This does not mean
that failure is certain to befall the In
experienced; that to be success a
farmer must have college degree,
or be an expert accountant. He must
however, be a good business man.

"The reason is plain. The intro

CITIES GAIN, COUNTRY LOSES

The figures of the Kansas State
Tax Commission for 1915 show that
while during the previous 12-month
period real estate values in the cities
of Kansas increased nearly six mil
lion dollars, farm land values in the
state of Kansas during the same
period decreased a little more than
six hundred and thirty thousand dol
lars. City values increasing-farm
values decreasing. A survey made
recently by the Missouri State Uni
versity, covering $50 farms, showed
farm land in two miles of a good
town, worth SIS an acre; in four
miles, $40; in six miles, $50; in
eight miles, $5S; and farms greater
distance from good town ran down
to $55 an acre. These figures show
that location has something to do
with farm land values. A farm near
a good town has greater value; far
ther away, less value. A farm near
a dead town may possess no greater
value than farm long way from
a good town. Move farm away
from a good town, its value shrinks.
Kill the town, the same thing hap
pens to the farm-its value shrinks.
The farm has been removed. 1t is
not near a good town. The people Of
Kansas are sending out of the state
20 million dollars year to buy at re-
tail goods which could be bought at
a fair price in the state. Loss Of
business will kill town. When a
town dies, it loses in population. Two
hundred and ninety-four Kansas
towns and villages lost in population
during a 12-month period ending
1915. When town loses business
and population the farms around that
town are pretty likely to shrink lit
tie in value. The demand for these
farms is not so great. Men like to
buy land near a good town-not near
a dead one. Real estate in the larger
cities Of Kansas is increasing in value
because these cities are increasing in
population-and they are increasing
in population because they are doing
more business. Many Kansas coun-
try towns are losing in population be-
cause they are doing less business.
Business they should be doing is 60
ing to large cities outside our own
state. And the Kansas community
builder should not forget that loca-
tion has something to do with land
values.

JOUETT SHOUSE AND RURAL
CREDITS

From Kansas City Star, October 90.
"Washington-To the Star: While
would be the last person on earth
to project myself unnecessarily into
a campaign outside of my own state,
/ think there can be no improperly
in my contradicting an utterly false
report which am informed has been
disseminated in the district repre-
sented by my colleague, Hon. Jouett
Shouse.
"The report as it comes to me, is
that Mr.. Shouse had little, If any
thing, to do with the framing and
passage by Congress of the Rural
Credits Bill. AS chairman Of the
banking and currency committee of
the House, think am in a position
to speak definitely of Mr. Shouse's
activities in this respect, and do not
hesitate to say that, with single ex-
ception, Mr.. Shouse did as much as
any member of the committee in urg-
ing and securing its passage. Mr..
Shouse made himself so useful in this
respect that he personally received
the thanks of the president. Within
the fourteen years that have been
a member of the banking and cur
rency committee I have not had a
more useful associate than Jouett

The foregoing letter from Carter

name of Mr.. Shouse, insisting that
