Business District for New York.

Planning a model business district where the merchants, manufacturers, realty owners and transportation heads will cooperate in eliminating the unnecessary friction in industry and commerce due to unscientific methods and lack of teamwork, the Central Mercantile association has in- vited city officials to confer with it's directors as to the first steps which may be taken to realize this ideale This associations industrial survey of New York city and of the central mercan- tile district is to be used as the basis for the constructive program. Tenta- tive plans include development along industrial, residential, transportation and real estate lines. Merchants and manufacturers are working with rail road and steamship officials to assure the maximum efficiency Of the central mercantile districts shipping facili- ties, which include the Chelsea docks and the freight and passenger service of many of the largest railroads.

FORAGE CROPS BEST
 FOR GROWING PIGS
Expert of Kansas Agricultural College Advocates Type of
 Feed to Produce Pork.

Spring pigs fed on good forage crops will make five times as much profit as those fed in dry lots,'' accord ing to Ray A. Gatewood, instructor in animal husbandry in the Kansas State Agricultural college.
 ''The cost of 100 pounds of gain on young pigs with corn at 50 cents a bushel and such forage crops as al falfa, rape, and clover, runs from s2.8S to $3.96: with older hogs from s423 to s531.
 "The accredited gain in pork to an acre of forage varies, depending upon the crop, the age of the hog and the amount of grain fed. An acre of sweet clover with corn at 50 cents and hogs at S5 hundred netted $4207; rape, s37.50; alfalfa, s6590; and a combination of oats, peas and rape, $64.6O.
 Of all forage crops, alfalfa is the great permanent crop, while rape is the emergency crop, and green rye the fall and early spring crop. The ideal forage crop should show adaptability to soil and climate permanency, palatability, reasonable cost of plant ing, and good pasture at any time during the growing season. Alfalfa clover and rape have most of these qualities"

Shipping StockShppne Ltchfed
 Delivering Unloading

Frepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Farmers live stock shipping asso- citations have proved so successful that, although the first was not formed until 1908, the department of agricul- ture now has a list of approximately 500 that are shipping stock in coop erative way. About two hundred of these are in Minnesota, where the movement started, and the remainder chiefly in the middle West.
 The main purpose of these associa- tions is to enable their members to ship in carload lots to the central mar kets instead of being more less at the mercy of local buyers in disposing of a few animals from time to time. The fact that no capital is required for the organization of such an association, says a new publication of the depart ment, Farmers Bulletin 71S, which deals with this subject, makes these associations possible in communities in which more complicated forms of cooperation would not succeed. The puiicllIi, lONeFeI, pOlIlS Oul that SUCH associations are scarcely practicable in regions where there is so much live stock that it is generally mar keted in carload lots under any cir cumstances, or where there is so little that the association has practically nothing with which to work
 To organize such an association it is necessary only for the farmers of the community to meet together, adopt a simple constitution and bylaws, a sample of which is given in the bull letin already mentioned, to elect off, cers, and, in turn, for them to appoint a manager. It is recommended, al though it is not absolutely necessary, that the organization incorporate This can be done at nominal cost usually not more than $10 For this small expenditure of trouble and money the association usually enables the farmer to market his stock when it is ready instead of compelling him to wait until the local shipper is ready to buy it. He obtains for himself the benefits of the cheaper carload trans portation, and the shipments of the association realize for the owner the

Poetry Increases Tempe rature.

A local disengagemento of heat seems to accompany brain activity. Dr. J. S. Lombard found in more than 60,OOO observations that any intellectual ef- fort, such as computing, composing, re- citing poetry silently or aloud, and especially that emotional excitement, such as fit of anger. caused a gen. eral rise of temperature.
 The rise was in most cases more marked in the middlo reggie, of the head than elsewhere. Strange to say, it was greater in reciting poetry si- lently than in reciting it aloud. Doc tor Lombard's explanation is that in internal recitation an additional DOT tion of energy, which in recitation aloud was converted into nervous and Muscular force, now appears as heat"

market price of his stock less the ac- tual cost of marketing. In particu- lar it has been found that when thin stock calves or lambs are sold in small numbers, the local price is usual ly very low. It is on this class of stock that the associations have been able to save their members the most money.
 In order to avoid misunderstanding, 1t is important that all stock be marked at the shipping point. This precaution prevents disputes in re- gard to shrinkage and dockage and as sists in making adjustments in case of loss or damage in transit. There are three common methods of marking Numbers or other characters may be clipped in some conspicuous part of the animal, paint may be employed, or numbered ear tags used. The last method Is the least frequent because it is somewhat difficult at the stock yards to get close enough to the ami nal to see the number on the tag If tic ocCOHu ulctHOu IS duOpttu OIul- nary paint is undesirable, especially for hogs, as it does not dry readily enough to prevent smearing. This difficulty may be overcome by using paint containing about one-fourth var nish. In the case of sheep, however, painting is objectionable because the marks will not SCOUT out and wool manufacturers object to them, and branding fluid, therefore. is prefer able. Whatever system of marking is adopted, the important features are that it should be uniform for all ship ments and that the marks should be plain and conspicuous In many cases hogs are not marked, but are graded by the manager at the shipping point A record of those subject to dockage is kept in such cases. Marking is ad- vised, however. as precaution against mistakes.
 Since no payments are made for stock shipped until returns from the central market are obtained. these CO., operative associations may be formed without capital. All that is necessary Is for the farmers to comply with their engagement to furnish the stock to the

manager when, where, and in such quantities as they say they will. In some associations a fixed sum of money is eXacted from shipper for failure to deliver stock to the mana ger as agreed. In every case the amount to be exacted should be req sonable and should fairly represent the actual loss which it is estimated the association will suffer as the re- suit of nondelivery. The provision for liquidated damage is proper, because the manager must arrange for cer- tain amount of car space, and if all of it is not used the expense to those who do ship is proportionately greater
 Fuller details in regard to the or. ganization and management of such associations are contained in Farmers Bulletin 718.

FACTORS IN PLANS
 FOR CLEARING LAND
Suggestions Offered for Cleaning Up and Developing Farm on
 Economical Lines.
(By NJ. J, THOMPSON Minnesota EEK
 pertinent Station)

(By M. J. THOMPSON, Minnesota Ex-
 pertinent Station)
 The high cost of labor and the ab- normal cost of dynamite are to be add ed to the constant factors that call for consideration in development plans for cutover lands this year.
 common practice is to cut over a lot of land and then let a part of it grow up to brush a second time. This is, of course, expensive and useless. Six or seven pounds of grass seed clover and timothy mixed-should be sown on the land and worked in with a spring-tooth harrow.
 On the other hand, an extreme ex- penditure of capital and labor on a giv- en area to get it into a crop is also undesirable, since no definite plan is being followed for future development. Assuming that delayed clearings are usually cheaper, this plan works well.
 A tract of few acres easily cleared, well drained and fairly well located, that under average summer conditions will give maximum crop with a min- imum of risk and investment to put it in shape, is selected and put into crops. A second area, possibly twice as large, is brushed and seeded to grasses. The first tract supplies the immediate requirements for foodstuffs and income. The second supplies pas ture and a hay crop, and a delayed clearing. One gets certain pasture and forage crops with a cheapening of the final clearing.
 By cleaning up an additional area annually in similar way the farm is develOped on most economical lines

FIGHT OFF SHYNESS
SELF-CONSCiOUS PERSON AL
 WAYS UNJUSTLY RATED.
Those Afflicted With That Fcrn of Timidity Underestimated Because Their Real Selves Are Never
 Allowed Proper Expression.

Dr. Orison Swett Warden, the world Known philosopher, says:
 Hawthorne was one of the shyest men that ever lived. He used to walk the streets with his eyes on the ground to avoid recognizing others, and ii he saw anyone he knew he would cross the street to escape the embarrass- ment of meeting. Later in life he said God might forgive sins, but awk- wardness had no forgiveness in heaven or on earth. His own imagined awk- Wardness was due to his timidity, his morbid selfconsciousness
 After spending the evening at Finer sons house, George William Curtis spoke of Hawthorne, who had sat si- lent as shadow all evening and had scarcely spoken to anyone. Curtis won- dered why no one had looked after him. But being looked afterD would only have made him more miserable. Once, when making a call, Hawthorne asked his hostess what he should talk about and she advised him eli mate.'
 It is not recorded whether he found even this topic sufficiently inspiring to tempt him to break his habitual si- fence. Visiting a naval officer, and being pressed for something to say, Hawthorne asked him if he had ever been in the Sandwich islands. His host concluded that the man who would ask aimless, silly questions of this sort could not be much of a genius.
 l know people of great scholarly at tainments and mental caliber who go through life practically unknown, un- appreciated even in their own neighbor- hood. They live by themselves just because nobody seems able to get at them, to understand them. They do to make themselves unapproachable.
 There is something about them that repels people, and yet they feel kindly toward everybody. They would be glad of a chance to do a favor to anyone, but they are misunderstood because they are too timid and shy to come out of their shell.
 Shy people are constantly misunder- stood and underestimated, because their real selves are never allowed expression. They are so afraid that others are weighing and measuring them in the balance and finding them wanting that whenever they can they flock by themselves,' as the Irish. man puts it.
 Their shrinking, self-effacing, apolo- getic attitude is fatal to their eff. ciency as we'll as to their comfort and happiness. If, instead of avoiding others, they would mix freely in soci. ety and undertake responsibility at every opportunity, no matter how it might pain them or how every nerve might shrink from human contact: if they would stop staying alone in cor ners at receptions and in drawing rooms, if they would cease worrying about their appearance and manner, and would force themselves into the great human current, they would soon entirely overcome their self-conscious- ness.-Pictorial Review.
