Ii You Own Cows

1t will not only be interesting but it
will be profitable for you to read that
little national dairy magazine, Kim
halls Dairy Farmer. 1t is published
semi-mOnthly at Waterloo, Iowa, the
huh of the great dairy region of the
central west. 1t is ably edited, we'll
printed on good book paper and hand
sOmely illustrated by actual photo
graphs taken exclusively for it. Its
purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his COWS yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis-
pensable. Regardless of how many
other papers the farmer may take, this
one is worth many times its price to
him. The subscription price is only
80 cents year, and the paper will
positively be discontinued at expira
ton. Send for sample copy.

and if the proper system had been in
force the factories would have had to
take on 6.697 persons, plus an extra
complement Of 1888. to provide for
unavoidable reductions in the working
force due to deaths. sickness, tempo.
rary employment due to extra work
and other causes of similaE nature.
In reality, however, the factories
took on during the above mentioned
year 42,571 employees. or 22,O31 per-
sons more than were absolutely neces-
sary, and each of those 22.031 persons
cost the factories from $50 to 5000
for broken tools, spoiled work, the
reduced rate of production and the
additional office expenses incurred
through the necessity for the main.
tenance Of an extra clerical force to
keep track of the temporary workers
and the hiring Of foremen and assist,
lnts to instruct them. Altogether, 1t
was computed. the unnecessary en-
-agement of 22.031 employees caused
the factories in question an aggregate
loss of $S31 .03O.
Another manufacturer estimated that
he had to hire 1000 men In a single
year to get fifty employees, which
means that he has to pay for q certain
length of time salaries to the $50 who
fail to make good He estimates that
this reduces his profits by $15O,OOO.

tacturers to Reduce Dischargina to
Minimum-Some Have Practically
Eliminated It, Thereby Saving Money
and Increasing Output.
A new era has dawned in industrial.
ISm-an era in which the human ele.
ment is paramount. Wise employers
OF labor have come to realize that the
spirit of their employees is more val.
liable as an asset than the material
ana the machinery in their plants.
Methods are being adopted by the lead.
rrs in the industrial world for con.
serving and nourishing the loyalty and
energy of their working forces.
One Of the strongest indications Of
this upward trend in the industrial
field lies in the progress that has been
made i'll the method Of hiring help and
adapting that help to the work for
which 1t Is best fitted. In their efforts
to reduce discharging to a minimum
many Of the biggest manufacturing
concerns in the country have establish
ed employment departments headed by
experts who are fitted by instinct and
education to deal with human beings
and get the best out of them. After
long and careful study these employ
ment experts have come to the conclu-
sion that almost any worker, no mat
ter how inefficient he or she may seem
at first, can eventually be taught to do
some useful work and that the time
spent to make the worker efficient is
negligible when compared with the ap-
palling economic waste due to the in
discriminate diScharging of employees.
From the standpoint of economy this
new aspect to the employment question
is long stride forward. for loose

which this leakage has assumed are
