CITY AN INVESTMENT
Improvements in Streets and Buildings
Pay Returns Just as in Any
Private Business.

Mr.. MacFarland, president Of the
American Civic association, takes the
practical business view when he says
that city betterments are nothing less
than paying investments. The streets
belong to the people. Their widening,
or the building of new ones to accom-
modate increasing traffic, Is simply q
business expansion that will pay q re-
turn as does any private business up
on new capital put into it.
The same thing is true Of housing.
No city is rich enough to afford hous-
ing conditions that mitigate against
the welfare of any part of its popula-
ton, says the Kansas City Star. The
man Of small means, as Mr.. MacFar-
land says-the man who must have q
low rentals the basis of industrial
prosperity. Low rental dwellings are
necessary, but it does not follow that
low rental dwellings should be lacking
IN the sanitary c~onveniences that are
essential to public health. The owner
Of rental dwellings who neglects to
maintain them in proper condition is
interfering with the city's business and
prosperity. The city's business de-
mands laws regulating housing in con-
formity with the best interests of that
business, and those laws should be rig
idly enforced.

Small Suburban LOT Best.

The ideal size for a suburban lot,
if you do not keep q man or a horse,
is about one-sixth of IN acre-say, 80
by $50 feet. This is all that the owner
can keep in apple-pie order, provided
the place has plenty of vegetables and
flowers. This ssumes that the family
is willing to spend S25 a year for out
side labor, fertilizers, seeds, bulbs,
etc. 1t also assumes that the wife Is
willing to spend IN hour a day in the
garden and is not ashamed to be seen
raking, planting and doing everything
except the hard labor.
Those who move from the city to
the country will make a great mistake
if, under such conditions, they attempt
more than this. Gardening Is an ex-
pensive business and n might as well
recognize the limitations Of the game.

INCREASE In DAIRY PROFITS
Breeders Find 1t More Profitable to
Have Cows Freshen in Fall
More Milk Produced.

Because more milk would be pro-
duced in the year and calves would be
raised cheaper, farmers find it most
profitable to have their COWS freshen
in the fall months. Cows bred now will
drop calves by early fall.
The COW gives a large flow of milk
at the beginning of the period of lac
tation. In the spring the milk yield,
which gradually falls off, is suddenly
increased when the cow is turned on
fresh pasture.
Calves born in the fall need mainly
milk and eat lit grain during the
period of winter -eeding. When spring
comes they are ready to be turned on
pasture. Spring calves consume milk
and grain during the cheap pasture
season and require the same high
priced feeds during the following win
ter, when they are older and thus eat
more. The fall-born calf at the same
age needs only pasture.
At the Ohio experiment station
some calves born in the fall were
raised for about So less than others
born in the spring. Under average
farm conditions this difference would
be fed to fall-born calves on pasture,
while those at the station were given
grain because Of a shortage Of pasture.

CITY SHOULD KNOW ITSELF
One That Has All Necessary Infor-
nation at Fingers End Makes
Impression Upon Inquirer.

There are many ways in which a
central organization can be Of service
to a city in industrial development.
An industrial commissioner, q man Of
vision and intelligence, with experience
in the problems that confront manu-
facturers, can make a survey of q city
with reference to industrial advantages
and have them ready for every in
Quirer.
The prospective manufacturer likes
to do business with a city that knows
itself, just as the individual likes to
trade with the man that knows his
stock. There are so many details that
enter into industry, so many points Of
information about location, switching
and traffic facilities, raw materials, and
related industries, that it requires ex-
haustive study of the whole field to
make a creditable presentation of the
city's advantages to the inquirer from
the outside. The city that has all these
facts at its fingers end, and can pre-
sent them convincingly, is in better po-
sition than the one where only q smat-
tering of essential facts are known.
The Importance of q careful survey
of related manufacturing groups
should not be underestimate. Now
more than ever before the manufac-'
turer looks for q place where his IN
finished material can be delivered in
any volume on short notice and at a
minimum of cost. Or 1t may be that
he wants q city which has developed a
line related to his own, so that he can
get the benefit Of its prestige in that
line. Here, again, we see the import
ance Of knowing our city and its in
dustrial possibilities thoroughly, and
that is the function of the Industrial
department Of a chamber of commerce.

Brick Porch Improves Old House.

The transformation a broad porch
of ~nice-looking face brick will bring
about on an old-style frame house is
wonderful. One sees in various places
along the streets houses on which such
changes have been made, and he is
forced to admit that a great improve
ment has resulted. While the effect
is so striking, the cost Of such an adj
dition is not so great.
A combination Of rough face brick
of r~eddish-brown coloring, white stone
cap and turned columns painted white,
with the steps and porch floor of con-
crete, makes an attractive appearance.
A new brick porch would be Il valuable
addition to many wooden houses Of the
old type, which now boast Of old-style
narrow piazzas.

The whole milk calves made the best
gains the first three months but during
the next three months the skim milk
calves nearly caught up, the four lack
ing but 10 pounds of weighing as much
as the whole milk calves, and several
expert cattlemen who examined the
two lots pronounced the calves in lot

lot A. The saving in using skim milk
and flax in place of the whole milk
amounted to $40 per calf for the six
month period. The grain and hay cost
the same for both lots.

SKIM MILK FOR DAIRY CALVES
Found to Be Nearly Equal in Value to
Whole Milk in Experiment at
North Dakota Station.

In feeding the dairy calf, the aim is
to cut down the period of whole milk
feeding. At the North Dakota ex-
pertinent station, two lots of four
calves each were fed as follows: Whole
milk first three weeks both lots. From
then on lot A was fed one-half whole
milk and one-half skim milk till six
months old. Lot 8, after three weeks
old, was fed skim milk with flaXseed.
Just enough flax was added to supply
as much fat as was given the calves in
lot A in their whole milk. Each calf

Here's to the Red of it
There's not a thread of it,
No, nor a shred of it
In all the spread Of it
From food to head,
But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it Red.
Here's to the White of it
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it,
But feels the might of it,
Through day and night?
Womanhood's care for it.
Make manhood dare for it;
Purity's pray'r for it
Kept it so White.
Here's to the Blue of it
Heavenly view of it,
Star-spangled hue of it,
Honesty's due of it,
Constant and true.
Here's to the whole of it.

Here's to the soul of 1t

Please state why the United States
and the other states adopted the Bible
for witnesses to take oaths by?
The method of swearing by the Bible
came into use at very early period,
practically with the establishment OF
courts of law in Christian countries.
1t was the ordinary method Of swear
ing when America was settled by Eu-
ropeans and was naturally adopted
here. Oaths we're common before the
Christian era, and any form may be
used that conforms to the religious be-
lief of the person to be sworn. He
brews are often sworn on. the Penta-
touch, keeping on their hats, and their
oath ends with the words, so help me
Jehovah" A Mohammedan is sworn
on the Koran.
Where and when were the first agri-
cultural fairs held?
The first full fedged agricultural fair,
primarily for competitive exhibits in
stead of for marketing, was held by
the Columbian Agricultural society
! which was organized in 1909 by mum
Der of gentlemen interested in agri
culture residing in Maryland, Virginia
and the District of Columbia. Its first
exhibition was held in Georgetown
May 10, 1909, and the National Intel
ligencer of that day reported that il
was ATTENDED by numerous assem-
blage of members of the society, among
whom we noticed the president anC
his lady, the secretary Of state ant
secretary of the treasury, the secretary
of war, the comptroller, register, etc.
and many other ladies and gentlemen
of responsibility" This fair was main
! ly devoted to domestic animals ant
manufactures. Semiannual fairs wer,
held until the spring Of 1912. when thu
war with England and the expiration
of the time for which the society wal
organized caused it's discontinuance.
The oldest existing agricultural so
ciety that holds fairs is the Berkshir
