GOOD cow STALL AND FLOOR
Dairy Building Should Be Constructed
With Aim to Keep Cows Dry and

While 1t is more pleasant to work In
lne barns, it is not necessary to have
them in order to get good results, but
items under this head are quite nee
essary for getting the best returns.
With the comfort of the animal in
view, u buildings should be con-
structed with the aim to keep the cows
as dry and clean as possible. Cement
floors built with about the same thick
ness as sidewalks and 80 construct

of 80 cents, making a revenue
of approximately $4,000 per
day gross.
"A man can skin fifty cats a
day and they willpay him $500
per day for his work and it is
estimated that it will take
about 100 men to skin the cats,
therefore, the net profit would
be about SO, 800 per day.
The soft part of the scheme
is yet to be divu1ged. This APP
pears to be strictly a self sup.
porting institution and the sue
cess develops in, the fact that
they propose to feed the cats on
rats which will be raised on a
rat ranch next door. The rats
will multiply, at least, four
times as fast as the cats, there
fore, if they start with a mill
ion rats they will have four
rats a day for each cat, which
certainly ought to be enough.
The rats are to be fed on the
carcasses of the cats from which
the skins have been taken and
each rat will get at least one
fourth of a cat each day.
The investor will have no
difficulty in arriving at a deter
mination to join the enterprise.
It is absolutely self-sustaining,
as the cats will eat the rats and
the rats will eat the cats and
we get the skins. Don't hest.

Merchants Should SEEK
Trade n The. Makes
!" Of South America !:

By EDWARD !. a /. Bureau Ch4 d lie Departmen. IF connesce
The economic condition of the countries to the south of us is not
nearly as important as the amount Of common sense. which sour
manufacturers may i may not have. IS THE. PRESENT TIME
AN .OPPORTUNE ONE FOR OPENING UP NEW MARKETS IN
SOUTH AMERICA? ALPHABETICALLY, YESl
Iss the present time an opportune one for selling goods? Probably
not so enphaticaly, not. And here is the difference. This is the time
to send al salesman, or, better, a business diplomat, into South America
to study the markets, to learn the country, to meet the people, to be-
come acquainted with the trade and to lay the foundations for future,
business. A ##@s@ #A .k #0MNS
To expect, however, to obtain large financial returns from this new
and difficult field is only the folly Of the uniformed. You would
scarcely expect . salesman IN q new domestic territory to show = profit
on his initial trip. Then why expect it in q foreign territory?
What / have said with reference to South America applies to q large
part Of the world. In the first place conditions are readjuging. They
are fast becoming normal,
IN THE SECOND PLACE, NOW IS THE TIME FOR The MAhUFAc.
TURERs or THIS COUNTRY TO WAKE UP AND BUILD UP THEIR
TRADE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.

@UR prison system is at fault. When you find 9 boy with . long
record it proves pretty conclusively that the hospital has failed
to accomplish a cure. IF THE HOSPITAL TURNS OUT IT'S
PATIENT UNCURED TINE AND TIME AGAIN SOMETHING
MUST BE WRONG WITH THE HOSPITAL.
People are crihcising the methods used by Mr.. Osborne at Sing Sing,
calling it a prison de luxe, where the prisoners get better food than
many men outside. If they only could realize that he is trying to arouse
in the men the sense Of responsibility toward each other that he wants
them to have toward society they would study before condemning. In
old times a criminal was a damned soul We cannot allow that belief
to live. ..
Our prison system, instead Of creating in the criminal q sense of re-
sponsblity toward society, has weakened him and taken away the little
he has. The present system Of punishment is an absolute failure. An
other should be tried. s##6@ f@# #A
