RESEARCH WORK IN AMERICA
Future Will Witness Wider Applica.
tion Of Principle Which Has Al
ready Done So Much.

Prophecy Is double-edged tool with
a peculiar facility for injuring the user,
but the activity Of the present leads
one to predict that each succeeding
year will bring us nearer to the state
In which the research work of the
country will be national In both scope
and effort.
The federal government and the
states have done and are conducting
research Of immense value to agricul-
ture, the foundation of industry; but
the future will witness more general
application of this principle-an active
national interest in Industrial research,
and this will serve as healthy sub
sidy for American manufacturers.
Research has enabled our industries
to make rapid strides. The recogni-
ton Of this fact has occasioned a re-
cent awakening to an increased sense
of appreciation Of the need Of greater
facilities for insuring the scientific de-
velopment and extension of industry
and commerce and Of promoting indus
trial research.

ECONOMICAL METHOD
OF PRODUCING PORK
Hous on Pasture Build Up Fertil-
ity of Land and Greatly Re-
duce Cost of Feed.

Experiments conducted for several
summers by the Pennsylvania State
college show that pasturing hogs is
an economical method of pork produc-
ton. In case a permanent pasture OF
alfalfa, red clover or sweet clover is
not available temporary crops may
he sown. Such crops are SoWn in ro-
tation to insure a supply of green
food throughout the growing season.
AS soon as the ground can be nicely
worked, tract may be sown to oats
and Canada field peas at the rate OF
one-half bushel of each crop per acre.
About three weeks later second tract
NAV be sown to rape and oats in the
proportion of five pounds of rape or
two bushels Of oats per acre. When
the oats and peas have become ex-
hausted the tract is sown TO rape at
the rate Of eight to ten pounds of seed
for a full acre. This plan may be
used on a large scale, according to the
land available and the number of pigs
raised.
Hogs on pasture build up the fer
tility of the land and the cost of pro-
ducing 100 pounds of pork is reduced
from $3.50 to 50 per 100 pounds. Hogs
on pasture also are not so liable to be
troubled with intestinal worms and are
usually in q thrifty condition. Some
grain is fed in addition to the forage.
If such a method is used the pigs will
make a much better growth and the
cost cheapened.

Ribbon "White Elephant"

Three yards Of silk ribbon are the
latest contribution to the conscience
fund. And thereby great problem al
to how to cover the value into the
United States treasury has arisen
The contribution seems something OF
a white elephant, the Washington Stal
says.
Probably the ribbon will be sold to
the highest bidder at public auction
and the amount realized covered into
the treasury. The value Of the ribbon
cannot be judged and the prospective
amount of the credit to the conscience
fund cannot be estimated. The rib
bon is about four inches wide, vari'
colored and of exquisite heavy quail
ity.
The envelope containing the ribbon
was postmarked Paterson, N. j. There
was no message inclosed, the package
being addressed simply to 'The Con
science Fund, Washington, D. O." II
is presumed that the ribbon itself was
smuggled In and is now surrendered.

Livestock farming is diversified
farming and calls for system OF crop
rotation with legumes. 1t returns fer
tility to the soil. 1t adds interest to
the work Of the young people and hnal-
~ it is the best insurance of an income.
Each farmer should make business
of growing his own beef as well as his
own vegetables. Also his own protein
feed for his stock, and stop buying
bran, cottonseed meal and other high
priced protein feeds.
The dairy business, too, calls for in
tellectual activity. Such exercise is
good for the boys and the girls. The
dairy business evens up things on the
farm. 1t gives steady employment. 1t
is a cash business. A man feels indie
pendent when he knows that his in
come is steady. Dairying builds up the
farm. 1t requires fewer acres and con-
sequently leads to more neighbors'
There is always an air Of prosperity
about a well-handled dairy farm. The
dairy business adds permanency to the
community. The success of the man
engaged in it depends upon keeping
milk records. 1t costs but little and
returns hundredfold. There are good
cows and poor cows. A farmer should
find out which are the poor cows and
which are the good ones. This can be
done by marking down what they pro-
duce each day and using the Babcock
test. Milk the good cows and sell the
poor ones for beef.
The feeding of crops and returning

the manure to the land Is very i'm.
portant means of maintaining the nj
trogen supply as we'll as the supply OF
other plant food elements.
One of the most valuable assets of 8
farm is the manure produced upon it.
1t represents fertility which has been
drawn from the soil by crops, and must
be returned to it If productiveness is
to be maintained. 1t not only adds to
the store of plant food in the soil by
returning a large per cent Of the nj
trogen, phosphorus and potash re-
moved by crops, but it also renders the
native plant food Of the soil more
available. 1t adds humus to the soil,
improves it's physical condition, makes
it warmer and enables it to receive
and retain more moisture.
No substitute at present known is
capable of completely filling the place
Of farm manure. Notwithstanding its
great value, there is probably no ma
teria1 on the farm in which so great
and needless waste occurs. 1t is a
common sight in almost any section to
see stables and feed lots situated upon
the bank of a stream or ditch where
the most valuable portion of the ma
nure will pass into the stream.
There is no soil so fertile that its
producing power cannot be eventually
reduced by continued cropping which
takes away fertility and returns moth
ing. 1t must be understood that every
crop, whatever it may be, removes
from the soil plant food which must be
returned in some manner.

ESSENTIAL HORSES
COLLAR FIT SNUGLY
It Should Not Pinch at Crest OF
Neutrality-suspicious. Should
Be Removed Daily.

CIV s. O'TOOLE, North Dakota Expert
ment Station)
The horse collar should fit snugly.
1t should not pinch at the crest of the
neck, and there should be room enough
between the collar and lower part of
the neck to admit the hand freely
when not pulling. The contact surface
Of the collar should be smooth and
plastic and distributed over as much
bearing surface as possible.
The incrustations that form on a
collar should be removed daily to pre-
vent increased friction. Sweat-pads
or false collars should not be used eX-
cept in cases where the animal has
been CALLED or has a collar boil; and
in that case q window should be cut
in the pad so as to prevent the bear
ing surface of the collar coming in
contact with the injured part.

ing OF real love to wOman--that it
Is more precious by far than all the
wealth of the Indies. If she has mar
ried the first time for wealth and po-
sition, she never makes so fatal mis-
take the second time.
Apropos of this subject, all of the
social world has been intensely excited
over the fact that one of New York's
Youngest and. wealthiest and most
beautiful widows has given up a prince
ly fortune and stepped out of marble
palace to wed the man of her choice.
Her late husbands will subjected her
to those conditions SHOULD she rewed.
The whole world wondered when a
young and handsome sutton appeared
upon the scene which way her choice
would turn-to the cold marble walls
with their wealth Of paintings looking
down upon her, and the checks, each
one a fortune in itself, which paid her
for remaining the dead multimillion-
aires widow, heaped up before her or
the warm-thrilling arms and eager
pulsing, responsive heart Of the young
man who could not count his fortune in
anywhere like such colossal figures.
There was no struggle to decide.
Could the marble palace, the grand old
paintings, plates Of gold, liveried serv-
ants and all the trappings of wealth
and the power of a grand old name,
soothe heart signing for the clasp of
a human hand whose magnetic touch
made her heart beat faster, a near
presence, dearer yet than all others,
that could turn loneliness into heaven
of cheeriness, light, JOY and the love
which makes living worth while?
The one experience Of marrying for
wealth is enough for any woman. 1t
teaches her the grand lesson that love
which is God-given is not for barter or
sale; that it is priceless, the fathers
richest, most wonderful of blessings
with which he endows his children.
True love outweighs wealth every time.
Wealth can only procure worldly
things; it cannot buy love or live.
Love, returned, repays all sorrows. It
is lifeS staff.

him will reach her hand,

She to him will reach her hand,
And gazing in his eyes will stand,
And know her love and weep for glee
And cry: Long, long I've looked for
thee"
How much is love worth to the av-
erage young woman? That is the ques-
ton honest-hearted men have been
asking themselves the world over, in
all climes and under every sun. Many
a poor youth, earnest OF purpose,
whose life, heart and deeds were clean,
whose ambition was boundless and
whose honor none could gainsay, has
seen his love dream shattered by an
aged gray-beard crossing his sweet
hearts path, whose only claim to at
tention was his money bags.
No wonder such youth loses all
faith in loves wondrous power, believ-
ing that the majority of feminine hearts
could be lured to loves bargain coun-
ter and be bought by the one who
could bid the highest amount of gold,
hard, soulless gold.
1t may be earnestly and safely stated
that not one young girl among thou
sands would, Of her own volition, pre-
fer gilded age to poor, but warm-heart-
ed youth and the love that satisfies.
Overambitious relatives and illy-chosen
friends may influence and fairly
coerce many, a girl to give up poor
lover for a wealthy one, but if left to
follow out her own promptings of heart
her choice will always fall upon the
man who has gained her love.
This is especially true Of young
widows. The girl dreams of love, not
knowing what she wih miss if she ex.
changes it for the dross of wealth. The
widow knows full well the true mean,
