For fear lest the American
public might be confused by re-
ports emanating from Catholic
sources regarding the outrageous
conditions in Mexico, friends of
the First Chief have started a
magazine in English called, The
Mexican Review. 4 sample of the
repast which American readers
may expect is as follows: "'The
revolutionary movement in Mexico
has never been an enemy to re-
ligion nor an enemy Of the Church.
It's enmity has been singly and
solely against the members of the
party within the Republic who
have used their religious affilia-
tons as an excuse for the align
ment of the ignorant and the fana-
teal against the cause of govern
mental reform" If the mission
aries and the self-sacrificing nuns
have been using their influence
against the cause of reform it will
require absolute proof from disin-
terested parties. That the Next
can leaders have displayed diabol-
zeal hatred against the Catholic
Church as such needs no proof at
this late day. 1t is consoling,
however, to learn that Mr.. Car
rama has been very kind to the
Presbyterian missionaries.

THE WORLD DOES MOVE.

In an editorial in recent num-
Der Of the New York Independent
we find an account of an expert
ment made the other day by the
Rev. Ferdinand Guicheteau in
which the priest, following the eX-
ample Of Foucault, demonstrated
the mobility Of the earth by means
Of long pendulum. The indie
pendent takes occasion from this
simple fact to resurrect the old
time calumnies about the Catholic
Church being opposed to science.
After admitting the heights
reached by Catholic priests in the
realm of science, noting particu-
larly the law Of heredity discov-
cred by the Austrian priest, Men
del, the Independent adds: "But
the Church is not yet ready to
demonstrate to it's people the
truths of biological causation, in
Guiding the biological conditions
and limitations of disease and
healing - AS an aftermath this
newspaper takes a fling at the
Roman Catholic Congress recently
held in New York. With great
junction we are told that the long
fight between science and super
naturalism has now been won by
science.
It is waste Of time to attempt
to answer this time-worn, thread
bare charge. 1t is simply an in
dication that the Independent has
inherited some of the ancient anti
Catholic poison Of Harper s
Weekly, with which the Independ-
ent is now incorporated. Suffice it
to say that the Church has never
pronounced officially on matters
Of purely scientific nature ex-
cept when statements contrary to
revealed truth have been uttered
III the name of science. The
Church, as every Catholic knows,
has long ago demonstrated the
real truths Of biological causation
when she taught that all things
were created by God. God in the
teaching of the Church is the
creator Of heaven and earth and
OF all things contained therein.
The intellectual caliber of the In
dependent must indeed be of a
very small bore. 1t should be a
lesson to Catholics to guard
against loose and irresponsible
statements, even in so-called high
class magazines.

MASSES APPRECIATED. >

We read of the death several
weeks ago Of Mrs. Thomas f. Nee
han, wife Of the noted Catholic
Journalist and historical writer.
Condolences were evoked from
every part Of the country for the
bereaved family. TO our mind the
genuine Catholicity of the family
was indicated in a notice, accom-
panying the announcement of the
death, which appeared in the
newspapers: "Masses would be
appreciated"
The novelty of these simple
words struck us as indicating a
quality Of religion which finds it's
echo in the inscriptions in the old
Roman catacOmbs. In early times
the survivors used the utmost dill
gence in having Masses and pray
ers said for the departed. In our
times, on the contrary, friends of
the deceased are wont to manifest
their sympathy by great floral
displays. Relatives, intimate
friends, lodges, societies, all unite
in sending floral tributes, tributes
which mean nothing to the soul
and are but a feeting testimony
Of respect for the living, How
much more genuinely Catholic
would it not be if those who
revered the dead one in life would
now offer a substantial tribute
one that would actually pass
through the portals Of death and
reach the soul Of the departed
with a soothing and benefcent
effect. Would that in all death
notices of Catholics besides the
words, Please omit flowers:
we would find the soulful plea
Masses would be appreciated. .

The Church and her teaching
needs no apology. 1t stands
every test to which it is subjected.
1t has done so from the beginning
and will continue to do so until
the end of time. But there are
many Catholics who must be
apologized for. Their conduct
reflects no credit upon their re-
|ligion and yet too often they are
taken as representative Catholics.
They belong to the class of Cath
olics who give the bigots the

STORY OF FEEDING
THREE YOUNG PIGS
Greatest Gains Made at Texas
Station With Young Animal
Fed on Skim Milk.

At the Texas station three 62-day-
old pigs were fed six months as fol-
lows Pig 1, In dry lot on milo chop
soaked in water; pig 2, in dry lot on
milo chop and skim milk, the chop be-
ing soaked in the milk between feeds ;
pig 8, on pasture and milo chop soaked
in skim milk between feeds. These
pigs made total gains for the period
of 94.5, $50 and 305.5 pounds. AL
though pig l was the largest at the
beginning, during the first month he
gained only 9.5 pounds, while pig 2
made more than four times as much
gain, and pig 3, more than five times
as much in the same length of time.
Pig / made consistently slow gain,
but the other pigs made consistently
rapid gains. 1t is thought that pig l
was not able to supply his body with
enough growing material for proper
development from milo chop alone. 1t
is estimated that pig 3 made a profit
of Sligo; pig 2, $3.50, and pig 1, a
loss Of % cents.

REORGANIZATION OF
THE FARM BUSINESS
In Majority of Cases 1t Means
Merely Readiustment of the
Present System.

Is your farm returning less than
hired mans wages? That is to say,
after crediting the capital invested
with five per cent interest, what is
your labor income-what have you got
at the end of the year to show for
your work? There are farms that do
not pay more than hired mans wages
to their owners. A reorganization of
the farm business is all that is neces-
sary on many Of these farms to make
them profitable. This reorganization
does not mean the Introduction of
wholly new systems of farming. It
would entail, in the majority of cases,
merely readjustments in the present
systems of management.
Perhaps you can't make these
changes right now-the crop season
takes all your time-but here is some
thing to think about for the future ::
"How can make my farm business
more profitable?"

Excerpt From Some Outstanding Fac
=. tors in Profitable Farming" by J. S.
Gates, Yearbook, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. 1851
The factor of profitable farming
which has probably heretofore re-
ceived more attention than any other
has been what might be termed eff
cheney, that is, the crop yield and
production per animal. AS rule, crop
yields for community are consider
ably below what would be the most
profitable, and production per animal
is decidedly below what has been
shown to be the most profitable. In
the case of crop yields, however, in
vestigations have shown that the big
gest yield is not, by any means, al
ways the most profitable yield. AS a
rule, the most profitable yield of crops
for a community ranges from Is to 80
per cent above the average yields pro-
duced by the good farmers of that
community. If the yield rises much
above this figure, the profits of the
farmers business are usually found
to decrease. 1t is possible to suffer
in getting too big crop yields. Quite
q few American farmers have reached
this point. The optimum yield for
greatest profit, Of course, varies wide
ly with different soils and economic
conditions.
Studies of one large group Of Penn
sylvania farms showed, when the yield
of crops reached point about 80 per
cent above the average for the region,
that there was a sharp decrease in
profits. The price of products as re-
lated to the relative costs of yields of
different magnitudes seems to be the
governing factor in determining the
most profitable yield. Survey studies
indicate that very few farmers are
producing as large crop yields as ex-
listing economic conditions warrant.
Farm practice, in the aggregate, al
ways responds to changed prices of
commodities, but this response by the
Individual farmer, in the majority of
cases, is made far more slowly than
the greatest profit would indicate.
To illustrate how the yield is deter
mined by prevailing price of a product,
the case of corn in North Carolina
may be cited. In the decade previous
to the last, the average price per
bushel of corn in that state was about

So cents. The yield per acre was
around 10. bushels. During the past
decade the price has ranged around So
cents a bushel and the yield has in
creased to about 20 bushels per acre.
The explanation of this probably lies
in the fact that under the higher pre-
vailing price it became profitable to
use more fertilizer and legumes and
give better tillage to the crop than un-
der the low scale Of prices.
Survey studies have never disclosed,
however, group of farms on which
the yield per COW had reached point
above which profit decreased. There
does seem to be point in yield per
COW above which increased yield is
not accompanied by much further
economy of feed. Recent studies Of
feed cost as related to milk yield,
made on four farms located respective
ly in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsyl-
vania, and North Carolina, running for
five years and involving careful, COM
plete yearly records of 443 cow-years,
lllulSdLC IhuI thio punt 10 lCuShCu at IL
yield of between 5000 and 1000
pounds of milk.
The cost of feed per 100 pounds of
milk decreases rapidly up to about
5000 pounds yield, after which the de-
cline in cost is very slight. The les
son from this study is that it is of
much greater Importance to increase
the milk yield up to between 5000 and
1000 pounds than it Is to attempt to
get the yield above this figure as far
as the economy of the use Of feed is
concerned. 1t is easier to increase the
quantity of milk when it Is low than
when it is high. 1t is also easier to
better a low crop yield than it is to
increase already high ones. Further
more, in both cases improving a low
yield is the most profitable thing to
do. In dairying, high standard of
production per COW is usually the key
note of success. According to the re-
cent Pennsylvania study of $50 dairy
farms, 4S of these farms showed a
yield per COW of less than $50. The
labor income Of these farms was 45
per cent below the general average.
Twenty-eight farmers of the group had
incomes per COW of more than $12O,
and their labor income was rs per
cent above the average.
