TOWNS WITH SILLY NAMES

Some Blackfoot Indians, with a taste
and a respect for nature that shames
the paleface, have protested to the sec
rotary of the interior against the bar
barous custom of lacking silly, mean.
ingless, vulgar names to noble natural
objects which the Indians long ago had
named with appropriateness. A melo.
dious word. with poetic significance
and very likely legend. is calmly ig-
nored in favor of Jones' gulch, or
Smiths falls. or Dolly lake.
1t is even worse in the matter OF
towns. Nearly all the good names in
North America are those bestowed by
the Indians or the early French and
Spanish explorers. After them came
the Anglo-Saxon, scattering the land
scape with his own patronymics and
other tasteless and meaningless proper
nouns.
We can understand why q person
with the imagination of a hitching
post might prefer for beautiful nat
ural object his own name or that of
female relative, or some foolish Grand
falls, High peak, Swift rapids. Broad
canyon; but we cannot understand why
authority should permit him to vandal-
lie that way. Unless there Is some ex-
cellent reason to the contrary, author
ity ought to insist always upon the In

EFFICIENCY OF FARM LABOR
One Man and Three Horses Arranged
to Do More Work Than Two Men
and Four Horses.

Efficiency of farm labor is often as
important as its distribution. Two
young men were blowing clover sod.
Each had two horses hitched to Il
inch walking pillow. 1t was heavy
blowing, and each team was barely
able to plow ~ acres a day.
One morning the men decided to try
three horses on one pillow. They did
so. and to their great surprise one man
and three horses easily plowed three
acres per day. They plowed as much
as two men and four horses had pre-
viously done and did it much more
easily.
1t was even easier for the driver. be-
cause 1t is always easier to drive q
team that is not overloaded. The new
arrangement released one man and
one horse for other work.

lions of early maturity. II selecting
more than one SOW, uniformity of the
lot is desirable and important. The
nearer alike the sows the more probar
bility of the pigs being uniform.
In selecting the herd boar the same
points are essential, except that the
animal should show masculinity. A
strong, broad head and neck, sufii-
cient bone. with strong. straight pas
terms, hook. and knee joints, are i'm
portant. He should show early matur-
ing characteristics. and have well-de-
veloped testicles. Shields, or thick
plates of skin. should not show on the
sides of the shoulder before he is one
year Of age. A strong, slightly arched
back. with large heart girth, Is essen
tial in a first-class boar, for he must
have room for the vital organs. name
ly, heart, lungs. etc. Remember that
the boar is at least half of the herd
as far as breeding is concerned, and
he is usually more, SO his selection
cannot command any too much care
or patience. Get good boar and he
will pay you well.

PREPARING THE GARDEN SOIL
OF Far More Importance Than Most
Gardeners Realize-SoiI Must Be
Broken Early.

The preparation of the garden soil
is of far more importance than most
gardeners realize. The vegetables
must have a deep, mellow, friable soil
to hold moisture and promote the life
and development of soil organisms 30
important to the fertile soil.
The soil should be broken early and
vegetation Incorporated in time for 1t
to decay. A large per cent OF vege-
table matter usually in its final state
of decomposition called humus is nee
essary. 1t may then be necessary
to rebreak, barrow and cross
harrow in order that deep mulch may
be had.
Barnyard manure is highly desir-
able where the soil is rather thin or
close. The manure supplies both hu-
mus and plant food and for that rea-
son is economical. 1t is a waste prod
uct at the barn, but valuable to the
gardener.

OUTLINE OF SAFE FARMING
Program Recommended BY Gown
ment speelaIIsts 70 Secure Safety
In the Cotton Belt.

The history Of agriculture In the
South. It has been said. has been one
Of lean years and fat years. Short
crops and high prices have almost In
variably been followed by big crops
and low prices and in consequence.
the farmer has experienced much dis
tress. The increased attention which
has recently been given to supporting
the people upon the land has already
resulted in much good, but there IL
some danger, it is pointed out. that,
with the price OF cotton rising. there
will be a tendency for farmers to re-
turn to the old system Of gambling on
cotton. II the. people of the South
produced their own living, the circular
points out. 1t would steady the whole
system and keep the boat from rock
ing. The safety measures recommend
ed are as follows:
First-Produce a home garden for
every family on the farm, the year
round. paying special attention to
plot of Irish or sweet potatoes sum-
cient to supply the family with food
of this character. Where feasible.
have a patch of sorghum or other
cane to produce strip for the family.
Second-Produce the corn necessary
to support all Of the people on the
farm and the live stock. with absolute
safety.
Third-Produce the necessary oats
and ether small grain to supplement
the corn as food. Pay attention to
winter grazing.
Fourth-Produce hay and forage
from some forage crop. sufficient to
supply all of the live stock on the
farm. Use legumes such as clover.
cowpeas, velvet beans. soy beans and
alfalfa for the production of hay and
to enrich the soil with nitrogen and
humus.
Fifth-Produce the meat necessary
to suppl the people, through in
creased attention to poultry and hogs
especially. Plan to increase gradually
the number of cattle and other live
stock so as to have a sufficient mum
Der to consume the waste products OF
the farm and make the waste lands
productive.
Sixth-After all of the things
have been amply provided for. pro-
duce cotton for the market.

COOPERATION is BEST PLAN
Latest Report Of Success Comes From
Wheat Belt Of kansas-Farmers
Organize Company.

6By JAMES PIERCE, in Iowa Home
steady
am firm believer in cooperation
among farmers Ends can be attained
by organized effort which are abso-
lutely impossible by individual and
spasmodic effort. Therefore. whenever
l see notable examples Of cooperative
success | propose to tell you about
them. That I will have ready hearers
l do not doubt. for nowhere has the
cooperative movement made greater
Roadway than here in the grain belt.
Wisconsin has the honor to lead all
the states in the number and strength
of its cooperative activities. furnish.
ing an example which other states
might well afford to follow.
The latest report of cooperative
success comes from the heart of the
wheat belt in Kansas. where farmers
who have organized a stock and grain
company have not only realized 10 per
cent on their investment. but the prof
its have been sufficiently large to en-
able them to declare a dividend of
one cent a bushel on all the grain han
died in the last year. The fact that
since June. 1915. the company has
handled more than los. 900 bushels of
corn and wheat and "a carloads of
stock shows the extensiveness of the
operations. The greater part of this
10000 bushels of grain handled was
sold by farmers who were not stock
holders of the company. Many of them
came for long distances, even pass
ing other elevators on the way. Here
is splendid refutation of the charge
sometimes made that farmers cannot
and will not hold together in an or
ganization such as this.
The farmers organization thus so
signally successful was formed eight
years ago to buck one of the old-line
elevator concerns. and It was only
few years until the old-line company
was glad to sell out and leave the
farmers In complete control Origi-
nally the concern was capitalized at
$4,000. but last June the capital stock
was doubled, the membership being
increased to 80. In 1914 the company
had 243 grain customers and last year
"a more were added.
To me, there is something really in
spring about such story, proving the
farmers capacity for extensive bust
ness effort. I have attended conven-
tons Of farmers and farm students
and heard the argument repeatedly
made that farmers would not hold to
their agreements. have always de-
MED these assertions. but my oppo-
nents have demanded facts. rather
than opinions. am now well armed
