ing to answer questions on feeding.
should any Wisconsin boys engaged
in the business care to write him on
this subject
TEL the boys not to hesitate to
write me about their feeding prob
lems," Mr.. Imboden states, and if I
can assist them I shall be glad to do
So"
The splendid showing made by the
twenty-six animals which were en-
tered in the recent boys bab. beef
show at Madison, where Mr.. Imboden
acted as Judge, is responsible for the
continued interest in the work taken
by these well known cattle feeder.

gress. Its members were appointed

alton and arbitrat ton all controversies

conditions Of employment that may
arise between any common carriers
engaged In the transportation of pas
sengers or property Gin interstate COM
merce) and their employees
The services Of the board may be
sought by either or both sides. Both
sides must consent before it may act.
1t has no peremptory powers. In the
forty-seven cases ia which the board
has been successful. thirty-ninc were
settled by mediation and eight by arbi-
tratiOn.
Its members arc William L. Cham
bers, chairman; Martin A. Knapp and

have been unable to Withstand the
constant criticism that has been heap
ed upon them. Perhaps the principal
part Of this criticism has been from
concerns interested In the manner in
which the dredging is done, who miss
the plums that fell into their laps
when steam shovels were in opera
ton. 1t is charged that these inter-
ests attempted to close the canal en-
tirely, and to have a great section of
the country drained, in order that the
more inexpensive method of wet
dredging" might be replaced by the
spectacular, but very expensive meth
cd of the steam shovel

THE FARM HOME.

Our homes are much more than the
houses in which we live. Rooms, fur
niture, pictures and household things
are all necessary but these do not
make a home
Sometimes we are given to think
ing only in terms of buildings, cattle
and fields. Our ever increasing du-
ties leave little time for the stury OF
the trees, shrubs, and wild flowers,
the distant views, the lakes, and the
streams with which we are blessed
here in Wisconsin. All of these, how
ever, should be a part of what we
call home. All should play a part
in the development of our every day
life. Our native trees, bushes and
wild flowers should, together with
our buildings and fields, say not 81
Am Rich," but "This Is My Home; :"
not Keep Of the Grass" but "WeI-
come, My Friend"
We of today are building our homes
of the future. Let us plan well.
Plant trees, shrubs and flowers so our
home grounds will be a part of the
landscape, SO our houses will be our
homes not bare buildings set on hill
tops.
