The average. reformer having -
little at stake himself, plunges about
like a bull in a china shop, regard
less of the results of his ardor.
An amusing incident is told of the
Secretary Of Commerce. The caA
manufacturers put up a howl that
unless they could get tin-plate 70
make up, no canning of fruits and
vegetables could be done, SO without
looking over the field it is said that
an order was made that steel was to
be diverted by the manufacturers
from other projects and put at the
disposal of the can manufacturers.
It looked all right on the ace of It,
but when the manufacturers of shar-
vesting machinery demanded steel
which they contracted for, and found
that there was not steel for aprons,
1t having been diverted tc cans, .
hurry-up call modifying the order
was issued, SO that our harvesting
machines could be made in time for
the growing crop.
This illustrates how many plans
are ignorantly made robbing Peter
to pay Paul. Every enthusiast
who has a pet reform which 10
always hitting some other business
instead Of his own, never lo0ks
around to see what the effect VIII -
before he plunges. The manafae-
f~turers OF feed and the most success
ful feeders in the country have 8
right to demand that that defeats
machine-the dairy cow-shall not
be wrecked by hasty legislation.
Revolutionary reforms are seldom
e%ficacious. Anything which disturbs
the food equilibrium should DO
handled gradually. Experience has
shown that the most efacient way 70
handle cereal products is to remove
the human food first and feed the
residue TO stock. Any other system
is shear sxtravagancs.

Starchy feeds like corn and oats
often sell as high as protein feeds be-
cause of the demand for them for
horses and other work animals.
Starchy feeds are also good to fatten
steers. That is why they are often as
high in price as dairy feeds. which are
strong in protein.

VETOES IMMIGRATION BILL
President Wilson Objects to Literacy
Test Provision.

Washington, Jan. 81. - President
Wilson vetoed the immigration bill
passed recently by congress because
of it's literacy test provision. It was
the second time President Wilson
vetoed an immigration bill. For the
same reason similar measures were
given vetoes by Presidents Taft and
Clevland. SIN most of the provisions
of the bill I should be very glad to
concur" the president said in his
veto message, "but I cannot rid my
self of the conviction that the literacy
test constitutes a radical change in
the policy of the nation which is not
justified in principle. 1t is not a test
of character, of quality or of personal
fitness, but would operate in most
merely as a penalty for lack of
opportunity in the country from which
the alien seeking admission came"

your hair, as it does it so naturally
