the world that in any scheme of de-
Tense 1t Is just as important TO have
reserves Of food as reserves of men.
guns and ammunition. II the food
supply fails all Is lost. and men and
guns are useless. The attention of
governments has been given to armies
navies and commerce and the pro
duction of food was n secondary mat
ter. To secure that reserve of food,
the governments must give attention
to agriculture. The tillers of the soil
must have adequate compensation and
all the benefits Of government must
he extended to them. There must be
facilities for education and social con-
ditions equal to those enjoyed by citi
zens engaged in other employments
In the early days of this republic the
farmer stood at the head of society
Washington, jefferson and other
founders Of the government called
themselves farmers. In these latter
years bankers. heads Of trusts and
great commercial undertakings have
assumed the leadership. Monticello
and Mt. Vernon were farm houses and
residing in them were heads OF the
government and society. Now the
heads of society reside in s5,0Oo,0OC

RAISING PIGEONS FOR PROFIT
Unless Houses Are Comfortably Warn
1t Is Not Wise to Grow Squads
in Cold Weather.

It is not best to attempt to grow
squads during the colder months unless
your houses are warm enough to pre-
vent the freezing of the eggs, or the
young after being hatched.
When the young are Matched during
the cold months they are very likely to
become chilled when the parent bird
leaves them for food. Once they are
chilled through, they are quite likely
not to seek food supply, and, chilled
through they are lost product which
cannot be regained or replaced.
