CHINA VERY FRIENDLY
Eager to Obtain American Help in
Building New Republic.
Uncle Sans Commercial Attache De.
ciares Finaneiers and Business Men
Overlook Big Opportunity.
BY JULIAN II. ARNOLD,
Commercial Attache to American EN-.
bassy at Peking, China.

bassy at Peking, China.
Americas greatest asset in China to-
day is the friendship of the Chinese
people.
No other people on the face of the
earth occupy such warm place in the
hearts of Chinese as do Americans.
Just before leaving Picking recently
President Lii Yuan Hung asked me to
convey for him and his people to the
people of the United States message
of friendship, and to stnte that Ameri-
can capital, brains and material are
wanted to help build the new China
But how is America awaiting herself
or this position OF vantage? While
Chlna's import trade has increased
fourfold In the past IS years, her i'm
ports from the United States have not
even doubled in that period.
In fact, our trade with China during
the past ten years has been about sta
tlOnary. What we have lost i'm piece
goods and -four. we have gained in
Kerosene and steel products.
The great mistake made by Ameri-
can manufacturers. exporters and
bankers today in regarding China as a
held for activity is their failure to con-
slider the China of ten and twenty
years hence rather than the country
today.
The reason American trade has
Jagged behind that of other nations i'm
China is that American financiers have
not participated in Chinese loans. Brit
ish. German, French and japanese cap
ital has gone into China I'm a big way.
But American capital. though extended
an especially cordial invitation. has re-
manned shy.
In spite of ChiBa's revolutions and
rebelliOns. foreign interests have been
protected and they have been indem-
nified against all direct losses.
Today the new China is rapidly
forcing out the old. We shall make
no mistake in responding to the gener-
Gus invitation of the Chinese nation
for our capital, brains and materials.

LIVE STOCK AIDS FERTILITY


On farms where live stock is kept
the land is more productive than on
farms where exclusive grain farming
is followed. Where/the crops are sold
on the market all Of the plant food
contained in those crops is lost to the
soil. This practice, will Result without
rail in impOverishment of the land.
Livestock farming is diversified
farming and calls for system of crop
rotation. 1t returns fertility to the
soil. Adds interest to the work of the
people living on the farms and finally
is the best insurance of an income.

NEGLECT OF FARM MACHINES
Some Cultivators and Hay Racks Are
Never creased-keep All Wagon
Axles Well Oiled.

The oiling or greasing of no machin-
cry on the farm is so neglected as are
the axles Of wagons. buggies. rakes.
cu!tivatOrs, etc. An oil can or box of
axle grease is not carried along with
these vehicles or implements, and be-
carse oiling is not needed every few
hours. this is neglected.
Some cultivators and hay racks are
practically never oiled or creased.
when this should be attended to after
a steady dcy or two Of service or the
equivalent. Nothing but close atten-
ton to wagon and buggy will keep the
axles well oiled. as the trips Of few
miles each day soon accumulate and
get rid of all of the grease.

USES FOR SKIM MILK
One of Best Feeds for Both
Young and Old Chickens.
Also Considered Excellent for PIGS Of
All Aoes-valuable In Itself and
Assist In Digesting the
Other Foods.

MIX is one of the best foods fol
both young and old chickens. The
casein, or curdy part of the milk. large
~ supplies the protein necessary fOr
laying hens, while for table fowl there
Is nothing superior to milk for making
white. juicy, delicious flesh.
The milk may be either sour cor
sweet, and may be given as a drink
or mixed with the meal, or both. Sour
skim milk or buttermilk fed to chick
ems confined to limited range keeps
them in health. The acid of the milk
supplies the lack of vegetable acid
they would obtain if running at large.
and moreover 1t aids digestion.
Poultry farmers living near a cream
cry gladly pay for the skim and sour
milk. which can be had at very reason
able rates.
Farm Dairying says: "Skim milk
Is considered one of the best of foods
for pigs of all ages. 1t is not only
valuable in itself, but it helps to digest
other foods and so makes hem more
valuable. Milk makes a firm, excellent
quality of pork.
About gallon and a half a day
for 1OO-pOund pig will bring econOm-
ical results, or feeding at the ratio of
three pounds of milk to one of meal"
Mixed milk and wheat bran make
the best ration for pigs and shoats
In connection with clover and grass
pasture.
All animals like a variety of food.
No one food, however good 1t may
be, will answer. Give a variety and
only what will be eaten with a relish.
Keep the feed troughs and feeding
yards clean and dry.
No rancid food should be fed. Hotel
refuse is not healthy food.

LATE FALL FLOWING EASIER
Cool and Stimulating Weather Makes
Work Less Difficult for Horse
Keeps Them Strong.

Late fall blowing Is much easier on
the team than early spring blowing.
as the weather Is cooler and stimu-
lating, and they can stand the work
much better than they can next May.
Besides, the work will keep their
muscles and vital organs stronger and
more vigorous. SO that they will not
become fatigued at the advent of
warmer weather.

UNCLE SAM, PRINTER
Uses Some $4,000 900 Pounds
of Paper Each Year.
More Than 1000 Persons Are Now
Employed in Big Establishment
Maintained by Government.

Some 32.OOO,OOO pounds of paper ant
$4,000 pounds of ink are used annually
by Uncle Sans big printery. the gov
eminent printing Office, and the tOta
expense of the Office is something like
$6.OOO,OOO year. Employees work
eight hours a day, receive a cOmpensa
ton comparing favOrably with union
wages throughout the country. and are
allowed 80 days vacation with pay
each year. Some divisions of the of.
flee run night forces all year and 9th.
ers only during the sessions of con.
gress. Employees working at night
receive 20 per cent advance over
day rates Of pay.
1t was not until 1852 that the office
Of public printer was created. with an
= annual salary fixed at $500. prior to
which printing was done by contract
appointed various printers to do the
congressional work for certain specific
amounts, all of which were found
wanting I'm practicability. 1t was not,
however. until 1861 that a printing
plant was established. At that time
there were some 800 employees, and
the building and equipment cost about
$135,OOO. At the present time there are
more than 1000 employees, and the
building and equipment are valued ut
several millions. There are now 16
elevators in operation in the offices. be-
sides several lifts for handling forms
Of type from the press rooms or fOun-
dry; there are also eight automobile
trucks In service. with special capaci-
ties, ranging from 1000 to 5000 pounds
each. for delivering work done at the
Office. The press rooms are equipped
with overhead carriers for handling
roll stock. and pneumatic tubes furnish
rapid communications between the va
riOus divisions.
One section of the office which has
proved to be Of unusual interest to the
general public is the division of public
documents. This division Is a central
distributing agency for government
publications. and receives by law
copies of all public documents printed
In the government printing Office. A
specified number Of these documents
are distributed to certain designated
repositories throughout the country,
and other copies are sold at cost to any
one person. The interest shown by the
public is evidenced by the fact that
about 100000 letters making inquiries
about documents are received by this
division a year. More than 42.OO0.OOO
documents were sent out by the super
intendent Of documents last yeur, and
the work along that line is increasing
each year. The current stock Of docu-
ments on hand Is about 13.OOO.UOO.
Properly to handle this work requires
the services of some 200 employees
md an almost perfect system for keep

rating through tunnel seven feet

OF RIGHT PROPORTIONS
Records Show That Farmer Either
Has Too Many Acres or Not
Enough for Successful Work.

The size of business often has much
to do toward making the farm profit
able. Farm management records show
that farms are often either too small
or too large for the most successful
farming
There may be too few as well as too
many acres. A man may not have
enough land or he may be 'land poor"
thereby rendering all his acres un-
profitable.
