SWINE BETTER THAN CATTLE
knowledge Comes From Practical Es
Perience Rather Than From the
Study Of Records.

Every experienced stockman knows
that the pig comes first in a list OF
farm animals as an economical meat
maker. This knowledge, in most
cases, comes from practical experience
rather than from the study of records
made in experimental work. In con.
nection with such problems as this,
facts and figures are always more OF
less interesting, and those that are
available show strongly in favor of the
pig.
In experiments carried on at the
Lawes and Gilbert station in England,
matters Of this kind were threshed
out to the very bottom. The result OF
twenty-seven experiments carried on
with cattle indicated that II required
an average of thirteen pounds of dry
substance to produce one pound In.
crease In live weight. II was found
that sheep required an average of 9.2
pounds OF dry substance to produce a
pound of gain, while the hog required
but as pounds of dry substance to pro.
duce one pound of increased weight.
To determine this result, thirty-three
experiments were carried on with
pigs, and 104 animals were fed out for
an average OF ffty-eight days.

The Paducah Sun says there were
two separate tribes of Indians as early
as l741, known as ''Padoucas," ac-
cording to a map contained in an
Atlas of the world, and published in
France at about that time, which goes
to prove that everything Irwin S.
Cobb said about Chief Paduke could
be and is true. The map, which is
in possession of Attorney j. Denis
Mocquot, is on exhibition in Weille's
window at Paducah. One of TIE
tribes was in North Dakota and the
others in Kansas. The fact that there
has been a controversy between Chi
cagoans, Irwin Cobb and local news
papermen regarding the existence or
non-existence of a Chief Paduke,
makes Mr.. Mocquot's discovery of
the map, among some priceless relics,
all the more interesting.

appearance when stirred, or when the
acidity has reached about FIVE per
cent, il should be cooled to the churn-
ing temperature and kept at least eight
hours before churning. This holding
period gives the fat globules time to
contract uniformly SO that they will
churn completely, thereby minimizing
the loss of fat in the buttermilk. II
is customary to ripen one day and cool
down in the evening for churning the
next morning. The cooling tempera-
ture varies with the conditions of the
cream and season, and should be from
80 degrees in the summer to so de.

from 55 to 65 degrees F. Use a low

STRIDE TOWARD
SOCIAL JUSTICE

The enactment of a law by both
houses of congress last week provid-
ing for an eight-hour standard work.
day for railroad employees was a great
stride towards social justice. It was
the recognition Of a fundamental
principle the establishment of which
organized labor and all advanced
thinkers have contended for since the
advent of the new industrialism.
That Wall street and the railroad
officials should be up in arms is to
be expected. They have been forced
to give by law that which they re-
fused to give by right. They tried
to stay the march of progress and
deny a standard that is now generally
recognized by society, but found that
the president and majority of our ma
tional representatives, needing the
voice of public opinion for a shorter
workday in industry, had the courage
to respond to the demands of the
governed, Notwithstanding the threats
Of the privilege seeking minority who
would undermine the health and in.
tellect of the nation in their mad
cratic domination.
Naturally the captains Of finance
are shocked and bitterly resentful, for
it is new thing in American life to
know that Wall street does not con-
troll Washington.
Anti-administration newspapers are
raving. Not one of them contends
that the eight-hour standard is not
right, but they object to the way in
which it was brought about for the
railroad employees. The necessity Of
the eight-hour standard for social ad-
vancement has gripped the public
mind so firmly that they do not dare
attack the justice of it.
The legislators at Washington who
wrote the eight-hour standard for
public utility employees into the ma
only paved the way for better con-
ditions for the workers, but they have
made for a more intelligent, more
virile manhood and womanhood, and
therefore for the advancement of the
citizens of our country as a whole.
They have enacted into law the spirit
of the times.
The shorter workday in industry
has come to stay. Progress demands
it and the health, Intelligence and
ability Of our people to maintain their
standing as a nation depend upon it.
L. Neither Wall street nor a prejudiced
press can stem the tide Of public
opinion that the shorter workday is
necessary to the welfare Of the Amer
lean people.-Exchange.

WAGE INCREASES
NOT UP TO PROFITS

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-The and
10 per cent wage increases of United
States Steel corporation. so widely
heralded recently, cast feeble
shadow beside what is termed the
most brilliant quarter in the financial
history of this concern. In the three
months ended June 80 it's net income.
after all operating expenses and re-
pairs have been accounted for, was
$81,126,04S, compared with $60,713,-
624 in the preceding quarter, and
$27,950,055 in the June quarter last
year.
The astonishing business of the
, corporation this year is best shown
through comparisons. Net income
was $8,0o0,0o0 greater in the quarter
than in the whole Of the 1904 year.
Each month brought a larger return
than any quarter in 1914 and 1904,
while, in addition, June's earnings
were larger than. in any quarter in
1908. The half years balance for the
common stock exceeded the annua,
balance in every other year since the
corporation was formed, the closest
being 1907, when 1876 per cent was
earned.
The six months ended June 80
brought in net return of $141,839,-
672, more than three times as much
as, the corresponding period of 1915.

Her eyes we're so strained, so swollen

It. was only sunny smile
And little it cost in the giving;
But it scattered the night
Like morning light,
And made the day worth living.
Through life's dull warp a wool it
wove
In shining co1ors Of light and love,
And the angels smiled as they
watched above.
Yet little it cost in the giving.
It was only a kindly word,
And word that was lightly spoken;
Yet not in vain,
For it stilled the pain
OF a heart that was nearly broken.
It strengthened a fate beset by fears
And cropping blindly through mists of
tears
For light to brighten the coming
years,
Although it was lightly spoken.
It was only helping hand,
And it seemed of little availing;
But it's clasps were warm,
And it saved from harm y
A brother whose strength was failing.
It's touch was as tender as angels
wings,
But it rolled the stone from the hid
den springs,
And pointed the way to higher things
Though It. seemed of little availing.
A smile, word, a touch,
And each is easily given;
Yet one may win
A>soul from sin
Or smooth the way to heaven.
A smile may tighten falling heart,
A word may soften pains keenest
smart, :
A touch may lead us from sin apart
How easily each is given!
