DAIRY COWS SUFFER
FROM LACK OF SHELTER

The dairy COW often suffers the
most from exposure to the weather
before real winter has begun. After
steady cold comes the COW is generally
stabbed. Exposure to cold rains in
November is often more injurious to
the animal than the colder but dry
weather later in the winter.
The dairy COW isn't like the fat steer,
protected from cold by layer of fat
As result bad weather causes big
drop in milk production. So long as
the weather is dry it is just as well
to leave the COW outside nights for
some time yet but every cold rain
should find her protected.
1t is not necessary in the climate OF
Missouri to go to any great expense
on most farms in order that the barn
may be warm. The main thing is to
have tight walls so there is no draft
or wind, and a good roof. Care should
be taken in arranging the stalls in the
form of platform of the right length
and a gutter of sufficient depth to hold
the manure. The cleanliness of the
milk depends to considerable extent
upon having the barn built so the COW
will keep herself clean.--C. H. Eckles
Mo. College of Agriculture.

MAN, DR.. Bradley, bought four goats

their luxuriant wool, rolled them ii

and disreputable, and escaped with

THE BANE OF ExTRAvAGANCE

With concrete fact and the eloquent
use of controvertible figures Edward
A. Woods forced home a vital truth in
his impressive address before the
Chamber of Commerce and its guests
at the monday luncheon yesterday.
His theme was the extravaganza of
the American people as national
problem. Extravaganza in our per-
sonal expenditures, extravaganza IN
our municipalities and government,
extravaganza everywhere was the ba-
sis of talk so full OF meat that all
who crowded the room went away
thinking, and thinking hard.
Mr.. Woods is the leading field gen
eral of the life insurance forces of the
United States and as president of the
National Association of Life Under
writer's is in personal and direct touch
with the lives of the people. He has
made a study of the habits of Amer
leans, and his direct thrusts at our
extravagant customs-individual, cor
porate and government-which are
gradually undermining the structure
of thrift upon which the nation has
been reared, left a most serious i'm
preston upon all present.
The speaker is a man of wide vi
sion who has no mistaken notions OF
where we are tending in this country
He showed in unmistakable language
that unless we call halt upon our
| individual waste and our follies as
a people we must go the way of the
Roman Empire, where decay set II
at the moment of its greatest mater
ial power.
Throughout the address the domi.
nant thought was the building o.
character and energy and thrift of the
people. He drove home the lesson thai
the American boy is too prone t.
spend and not to save; too ready tt
regard expenditure and reckless eE
travagance as an evidence OF IN!
ability rather than frugality and the
habits of economy and thrift.
Perhaps there was nothing more
| impressive in his vital talk than the
declaration that the preparedness
which we are now discussing in the
| United States is not confined to The
enlargement of the army and navy
but forces the realization that as {
people we must be more thrifty
more careful in our expenditures, con
serving our physical well-being anC
our mental health, and doing what il
manifestly necessary for the safe
guarding of the interests of this coun
try when we shall be confronted will
the inevitable conflict for supremacy
that must follow the close of the Eu
ropean Harrisburg Telegraph.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS


The machinery for carrying out the
act passed by Congress, known as the
Federal Farm Loan Law, is in course
of organization. The Federal Farm
Loan Board, consisting of Secretary of
the Treasury VIM. G. McAdoo, ex-
officio Chairman, George w. Norris,
Farm Loan Commissioner, Charles E.
Lobdell, w. S. A. Smith and Herbert
Quick, was appointed some time since.
The first duty of this board is to di-
vide the country into twelve Federal
land districts, somewhat after the
manner of the Federal Reserve Bank
ing system, and at some central point
in each district to institute reserve
farm loan bank.
This board has been busily engaged
in the work which the law provides
for its accomplishment. How far the
work has progressed has not yet been
made public and probably will not be
until the districts are fully decide
upon and the reserve points are Sc

WHEN THE EDITOR NEEDS HELP

These are troublous times for the
ountry newspaper man. With fooo
prices soaring, paper costs doubling
md employees expecting well deserved
Increase in their weekly wages, your
friend at the home office lies awake
nights wondering just what's going
20 happen. If ever your home paper
deserved loyal support that time is
now. Unless he receives it the ed
itor may be seeking other employ
ment before many months. If the old
home paper should miss even an issue
you would begin to realize just how
much of your life its weekly visit has
become. Suspension would indeed be
tragedy. No town nor community
has greater public asset than the ru-
raj press.
For IL years l was a Missouri coun-
try newspaper man. 1t has been my
privilege to know intimately some
hundreds of the men and women who
publish newspapers in the small towns
of this State. No finer, more self
sacrificing group can be found. AL
ways cheerful, ever boosting, pro-
claiming each community as near a
paradise as ever can be found, it
would do you farm folks good to at
tend a Missouri Press meeting. It's
difficult to find an editor who knocks.
|, With present prices for print pa
per every Missouri Country newspa-
per man would be justified in doub-
ling his subscription rate. But most
of them are content to struggle along
giving hundred dollars in public
service for every dollar of actual cash
received. 1t wouldn't be so bad if the
home folks would hand few bou-
quets before the hearse arrives.
Walk into the home Office tomorrow,
slip Editor Bill dollar and tell him
that you appreciate the old home
sheet. 1t wouldn't be bad idea,
either, to run little advertisement
telling about something you have to
sell. Nine times in ten you will find
advertising in the home paper a pay
ing investment. Try it once and you
will be convinced.-Missouri Ruralist.

COMMERCIALIZED POLITICS

All the Republicans have been
able to accomplish by their Law
| ish use of the "slush funds" con-
tributed by special interests is to
put a set of faulty arguments,
twisted statements and narrow
and misleading appeals more in
sistently before larger number
of people.-St. Louis Republic.
We may be old-fashioned in our
! ideas, for we are inclined to the be-
lief that the purveyor of faulty ar
guments, swisted statements and mar
row and misleading appeals" is as
+ reprehensible as the one who pays
him to scatter them abroad. And has
not the St. Louis Republic, for slice
of this lavishly used "slush fund,
aided and abetted the National Re-
publican Committee in putting its
twisted and misleading statements
"before a larger number of people,
and does il not convict itself of help
ing to do the very thing it pretends to
condemn?
For several days prior to the cleo
ton the Republic published whole
page advertisements of these twisted
and misleading-well, let us say I'M
truthful-statement of the National
! Republican Committee. 1t knew OF
protested to believe that these state
ments were anything else but fair OF
truthful, and yet it did not hesitate
for considerations share Of the
Republicans big "slush fund"-tc
give them the widest circulation il
the most spectacular way of which il
was capable. 1t may tell us that il
was business transaction, that il
was we'll paid for the space-and Of
this latter we have no doubt-still il
helped the National Republican Com
mittee to reach people it could no
reach through its own organs.
By bribing or buying up allegec
Democratic papers-for that in plail
English is what was done-the Re
publican Committee knew it coult
reach and poison the minds Of thou
sands that it could not reach in an.
other way-people who take these pa
pers because of their professed Dem
ocratic principles. 1t knew also tina
many who pin their faith to these pa
pers, seeing them devoting Who'll
pages in the most conspicuous way t
belittling the candidates and policie
of the party they profess to be sup
porting, would not only doubt tn
sincerity of their favorite paper, bu
that their minds would be poisone
against President Wilson and his ad
ministration by its well-masked sub
J tleties.
We don't know how this commercial
izing of politics is taken in other part
of the State, but here it is roundl
, condemned by many, and Democrat
who have long been readers of tn
Republic declare that they ar
/ through with it. At any rate, what it
treasury has gained by sharing in tn
Republican "slush fund.-, it has los
