PRINCESS CHOPS DOWN TREES
self in Fit Physical Con-
dition.

villa Mon Repos, Corfu, Greece
The Princess Alice of Greece, who was
the English Princess Alice of Batten-
berg, has spent the past summer chop
ping down trees to keep herself fit.
The Princess Alice is thirty, a cousin
of the Queen of Spain. Shortly she
will take her children back to Athens
for the winter season and give up fell
ing trees to begin again her work of
encouraging the Greek women to earn
their own living by home sewing-the
Princess Alice's own particular hobby.
The two eldest little girls, Princess
Marguerite and Princess Theodore,
eleven and ten respectively, are as
brown as their mother and as strong,
though they have not been chopping
down trees. They have been swimming
every day for an hour and half in
the warm translucent water of the Cor
flu Channel. Prince Andrews wife
herself Is fine, strong swimmer now,
but it has not been long time since
Sheldon Whitehouse, who was then
secretary of the American legation,
pulled her out of the water and saved
her life when she had gone down three
times.
The villa of Mon Repos, the sum-
mer place Of Prince Andrew and the
Princess Alice, was the favOrite coun-
try residence of the late King George,
who left it to his third son. but I'M
fortunately he failed to leave the
means to keep it up.
Prince Andrew is colonel Of cav
airy regiment-not lucrative en-
ployment. Princess Alice also is not
rich, and the pair who for royalties
are poor as church mice, have four
children, all girls, sad prospect these
days when Europe is full of royal
girls and short Of royal boys to marry

QUALITY IS MOST ESSENTIAL
Greatest Profit Can Be Expected Only
From Live Stock Of the Very
Highest Grade.
(By q. A. TRowBRIDGE

(By 2. A. TROwBRIDGE.)
Quality becomes more essential to
profit in live stock farming each sea-
son. When labor, land, and feed were
cheap 1t was possible to realize prof
it on live stock of an inferior grade,
but with the present high cost Of these
production factors and a constant dis
elimination on the market against the
Scrub" 1t has become evident that
the greatest profit can be expected only
from live stock of good quality. 1t
may be possible for the feeder or deal
er to make profit on inferior live
stock If he is able to buy it sufficiently
cheap and sell quickly, but usually
someone has not realized the greatest
possible profit when "scrub" goes to
market. If 1t is not the feeder, 1t Is
the man who produced the animal.

HAVE LIVE STOCK INSURANCE
Movement First Appeared Along tho
Atlantic Seaboard and Is Rap
idly Moving Westward.

(By J. o. RANKIN, Missouri College OF
Agriculture)
Mutual live stock insurance was the
first form of agricultural cooperation
to develop in this country and in some
others. 1t appeared along the Atlantic
seaboard but has moved steadily west
ward until 1t is found in practically
every part of the country. The mere
fact that IL is so prevalent is pretty
good proof that it is needed, but II
Is not nearly so urgently needed in this
country yet as 1t Is in Europe, where
it has reached a very much greater
development that has many lessons for
us. Many man in Europe would
be left destitute or at least embar-
raised for life by the loss Of a horse
or COW not covered by insurance. Many
a man who prefers to buy one good
COW would buy two poorer ones for
fear that one good one would die and
he would lose all he had If he could
not protect himself by live stock in
surance. In England he may insure
not only the cow but practically every
thing else on the farm from the labor
ct III the Helu 10 the DeeS III the HlFe.
Conditions in this country are every
year becoming more and more like
those across the water which demand
such great development of live stock
insurance. Free farm land is no long
er Of very good quality, and soon the
government will have none at all.
Competition will be keener and keen
er, and the struggle will no longer be
to amass farm-made fortune, but
only to make living and keep what
we already have, at least for most
of us. Under such circumstances live
stock insurance, now desirable thing.
will become absolutely necessary and
each man will have to decide whether
to join mutual company or patronize
commercial company.

STRAW FOR FERTILITY
Practice Of Burning Piles After
Threshing Is WastefuL.
Soils In Many Sections Would Be
Greatly Benefited by Addition OF
FertiIizing Constituents
Present In Stalks.

From the time the prairies were first
cultivated up to a year or so ago it
was the general custom to burn the
piles Of straw which dotted the fields
after the fall threshing. In fact, 1t is
yet a very common practice and very
wasteful one.
1t is an established fact that or
ganic matter is essential for soil fer
tility. No one disputes the fact that
our prairie soils are already rich In
this essential, but in many sections the
soils would be greatly benefited by
the addition of the fertilizing constitu-
ents which are present In the straw.
Hopkins of Illinois gives the value
Of Oat straw for manurial purposes at
$3.50 per ton. Wheat straw is valued
ut $2.5S per ton. The same relative
comparison gives the value of fresh
farm manure at 1920 and barnyard
manure at $2.34 per ton. Anyone who
destroys a ton of wheat or Oat straw,
therefore, destroys more fertilizing
elements than are contained in the
average farmyard manure.
The best method of handling straw
Is to feed it to stock and return the
manure to the land. Thus it serves
double purpose-fodder and manure.
When fed to horses or cattle on a
maintenance ration or those doing
comparatively little work, oat straw
is considered by Hoard's Dairyman to
be from One-half to two-thirds the
value of good clover and timothy hay.
The manure from one ton of wheat
straw is worth $1.52, and that from a
ton of oat straw is worth $2.34. Thus
the wastefulness of burning straw is
evident.
When sufficient live stock is not
kept, however, to use all of the straw
In this way, the straw can be returned
directly to the land. 1t may be spread
and plowed under or used as a top
dressing on grain or pasture.

SWEET CLOVER IS VALUABLE
One Of Greatest Soil Improvers and
Stock Feeders-Produces Much
Seed for Market.

"Sweet clover once regarded as q
weed, is worth $1,O0O,000,000 to South
Dakota, because it is one Of the great
est soil improvers and stock feeders"
asserts J. G. Hutton, associate agron-
omist at the state college. He says:
"Sweet clover helps to maintain the
nitrogen supply in the soil; it makes
good hay, and it produces large
amount of valuable seed, for which
there is a ready market. There is no.
danger whatever of its becoming a.
field weed, which has been demon
strated by experiments where it is
followed by cultivated crop.

ATTENTION TO LATE CHICKS

Late chicks should be given special
attention at this time and forced for

INCREASE IS NOTED
IN STEEL INDUSTRIES
Low Mark OF Last Census Not
Fair Indication.

Due to the marked depression that
characterized the iron and steel Indus
tries In 1914. the decennial census OF
mSnufactures in these industries, taken
for 1914. shows a marked decrease from
1909. the previous census period.
The iron and steel industries had q
rapid recovery in 1915. however, the
Census Bureau explains. and the 1914
census does not give true index to the
industries,
Reports were received from 100 estab-
lishments with 2A active st-furnace
stacks during the year 1914. The pig
iron products OF these establishments
aggregated 23.269,731 tons. valued at
t312, $50. 706. and the value of their other
products amounted to "a, 3d. BAT, making
q total of 1917. 55s. 063. At the census OF
1903 there were 206 establishments with
$40 active stacks and a product OF 25,65l,-
T0S tons OF pig iron. valued at S3S7, 40, as.
and with other products of the value OF
SS,598,s4O. making a total OF 3591, 40, 2S3.
In 1914. therefore. the number of nctiYe
pig-iron establishments was forty-eleht,
or 81 per cent. less than the number
reporting In 1909: and the pig-iron pro-
duction decreased In amount by ass. O67
