LOSS IN MUDDY BARNYABDs
Danger From Disease Endangered by
insanItary condItIons-Use Of
scraper 10 Recommended.

It would be difficult to estimate the
loss to farmers from muddy barn.
yards. There is loss of time and much
Inconvenience In caring for the stock,
there is loss of feed and loss of fertil-
ity from the barnyard refuse, not to
mention the danger from disease that
may be engendered by insanitary con-
ditions.
Most muddy barnyards are unneces-
sary. By the use of the scrapsr and
sufficient gravel, the mud and water
can be. eliminated. The Improvement
can be appreciated by all connected
with the farm enterprise. An interest
ing sermon might be written on the
relation of the muddy barnyard to
the boys who leave the farm. That
such relation exists there can be no
doubt.

In the epoch Of 1919 to 1910, said

Equality of status ia, of course
not characteristic, but q condition;
yet 1t is a factor which has led to
the development OF important Ameri

equality did not exist, at least there
was far greater equality than there
was anything else; where, If there was
not equality Of opportunity for all
there was at least some opportunity
tor all, the European relationship Of
superior and inferior classes could moi
long continue. The inferior of today
were too likely to become the 'supe
rior' of tomorrow.
This meant. of course, q great slim
illus to independence, and developed
the peoples self-reliance. Independ
ence is one Of the most conspicuous
American traits, and 1t has been not
without unpleasant manifestations. II
has induced q lack Of respect for au-
thority and for elders, and the exist.

markable monotony among the people
who developed these opportunities. till
Carlyle could say: Americans have

corded example. 1s.o00, 900 OF the great

Yet in contrast with this deadly
equality. the existence Of opportunity

that there were nearly 1000 men on
board the French auxiliary cruiser
Provence when she was sunk in the

1t was said that on board the Pro-

Of survivors Of the Provence disaster
was estimated at 870, it is indicated
that upwards of 3130 lives were lost.
This great number of casualties
makes the disaster the greatest on the
