Farmers mutual fire insurance
companies have reached a place of
great importance among the coopera-
tive associations benefiting jewellers
in the country and have an oppor-
tunity to perform still greater serv-
ice, according to an article in the
last Yearbook Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture.
Nearly 1000 such companies exist
in the United States and carry a total
amount of insurance exceeding S.
250.000,000 on property worth near
ly $7,000,000,000, which, the Year
book says, is more than two-fifths of
the value of all the insurable farm
property in the 4S states.
The saving in the cost of insur-
ance to farmers brought about
through these farmers mutual COM
panies is very large. but definite fig
ures Of the aggregate saving are not
available. The average cost per 800
of insurance for all the farmers
mutuals in 1914. however, was only
26 cents, and it is estimated that in
a number of states where farmers
mutual insurance is most highly de-
veloped, the average cost of insurance
for all such companies in the state
has fallen well below one-half the
commercial rates.
So far. 1t Is pointed out, the efforts
of the farmers mutuals to active
efficiency have been directed chiefly
to reduction of expenses of opera
ton. 1t is possible, however. still
'urther to decrease the charges to
be met by concerted campaign to
reduce fires. More careful inspec-
ton should be practiced and risks
should be classified so as to place a
premium on safe construction and
the adequate care of buildings.
One Of the important effects which
the success achieved by farmers
mutual fire insurance companies has
had on country life, in the belief OF
rural organization specialists of the
federal department of agriculture, is
the encouragement of farmers to at
tempt other cooperative enterprises.

Material found in recent journals,
pamphlets, and books on food thrift,
economy in cooking, purchase, and
nutrition of foods, and all phases OF
household economy, has just been
combined into one of the most ex-
haustive bulletins ever gotten out in
this country, says the State College
News Letter. Although there have
been many publications during the
past three of four months on the
subject of food products. 1t has re-

Material Carefully Compiled.
Special care has been taken in the
collection and preparation of all
materials, all available resources of
this country and Canada being ex-

cost Of MILK IS
STUDIED BY EXPERTS
FEED ACCOUNTS FOR ONE.HALF
OF COST PRODUCTION, FED.
ERAL SPECIALISTS SAY.

A detailed study OF the cost Of
producing milk ON four farms. recent
ly conducted by the United States De-
partment Of agriculture, leads to the
conclusions that on those farms feed
accounts for one-half or more Of the
total cost, the remaining charges be-
ing divided about equally between
labor and other items, such as shell
ter, use Of equipment, use Of bull, in
terest, depreciation. and overhead. \
The conclusions are based upon an
exhaustive analysis of the business
Of the four farms, each Of which 10
representative of type Of dairyins.
While the actual costs on the farms,
as elsewhere, vary from year to year,
the ratio between each item and the
total remained nearly uniform when
the same system of management was
followed.
1t is believed, therefore, that milk
producers throughout the country
will find valuable suggestions in the
report of this study, just published
as Bulletin sol of the Department Of
Agriculture, and entitled 1.-THE Cost
of Producing Milk on Four Dairy
Farms Located in Wisconsin. Michi-
gan. Pennsylvania. and North Caro-
lina," by Morton o. Cooper and c. NJ.
Bennett.
Feed Important Item.
The fact that the cost of feed is
shown to be at least one-half of the
total cost of producing milk on the
farms is cited as evidence that the
feed item is of great importance to
the dairyman who seeks to reduce the
cost of production. 1t is pointed out,
however, that the greatest economy
of production is not always attained
by cutting down the feed cost, and
that sometimes it is necessary to in
crease the feed bills in order to in
crease profits.
The question of feed supply is held
to be one for individual solution.
Gust how near the specialized
dairyman should come to growing all
the feed required by his dairy herd
is a question of individual business
management" this bulletin soys.
lone man may find 1t more profitable
to grow all the feed required, while
another may increase his profits by
supplementing the income from cows
with crop sales and purchase part Of
the feed. In few localities in the
United States crops may be selected
that will not only yield product for
which there is a ready sale at good
prices but which also leave on the
farm much feedable material. Sweet
corn is an example Of this type"
1t is pointed out that when this
practice of experimenting the dairy
business with the production of cash
crops is feasible, 1t is often good
business for the dairyman to sell
crops and buy concentrates. and that
IF by the growing Of a cash crop. 1t
is possible from the net receipts of l
acre to buy a quantity Of concentrates
equivalent to that which could be
raised on II acres, 1t would be folly
to grow the concentrates"

THE CLOSED MOUTH.

There are Germans in the United
States who are better citizens than the
people born under the Stars and
Stripes, and prospecting under the sue
cess of America The Germans are
better because they keep their mouths
shut, and at least, respect the Ameri-
can flag.
Some of Americas worst enemies be-
long to her citizenship. They are the
people who denounce the war; de-
ncunce the army, and make themselves
bad citizens in general.
People in Americas have been heard
10 make remarks which even Stone and
LaFollette withhold, and we doubt il
vonBethmann-Hollweg even thinner
man, would make such utterances. The
same people are those who have watch
ed the nation flourish as much of the
citizens performed their duties. while
they were content to live in the little
world which they chose to create fol
their personal selfishness.
| 1t would not be bad idea for tbs
patriotic people of Americas, and otheI
sections to make the sentiment her,

some maIcontents- them up il

WATCH THE AMERICAN
SINK AND GARBAGE SCAN

NEW YORK, May 9.--"Germany may
lose the war, not through her arms,
but through the lack Of fats in her
food supply" according to Mary Green,
author of Better Meals for Less
Money" who adds that heretofore,
thousands of tons of valuable fats have
gone down the American sink or into
the garbage can"
Save the fats" is Mary Green's slo-
gan, now that me must not only feed
ourselves but also our allies.
"All drippings from roasts and fat
from boiled meats should be carefully
strained and saved" she declares, "for
they can be used in many recipes, in
Guiding those for cookies, cakes, meat
sauces and soups"
Bacon fat is declared excellent for
cord cake. gingerbread, poultry stuff
fing and soup stock.

THE ROOSEVELT ARMY.

Despite the professed patriotism of
Theodore Roosevelt, he is hurting the
preparations for war by allowing his
desire to take an army to France in
terfere with the underlying and funda-
mental plans for the creation of an
army. Really, though, Roosevelt can
gress, even more the conferees on the
draft measure. If Teddy's plea for
fame and advertising through an army
is the snag, why not drop it from the
draft bill and take up the matter sep
arately. 1t is not right that few ex-
traneous matters be allowed to inter
fere with the basic measure.
No one doubts but that Roosevelt
would be given a good command in the
American army, if he would await the
first measures for forming the branches
of the service. Furthermore, this is a
war of the American people and not
Theodore Roosevelt. The great nation
is battling the Teutons, and not the
whimsical suggestions of Teddy.
Let's have one thing at time. War
was declared on April 9Th. Here it is
more than month since the declara-
ton and the United States has not yet
devised the manner of securing an
army. 1t is disgraceful, and the direct
blame can be placed on Congress
There is no excuse. The people are
Disguised with the conduct of their
representatives
The Senate and House comprises
members of various professions. Very
few are entitled through knowledge or
experience to carry on the prepara-
tons for war Still, it seems that some
of them profess a greater knowledge of
how the war should be conducted than
the men who have spent scores of years
in deep study
From the conduct of Congress it
seems that it would have been better
to have selected 1879 Senators and Con-
gressmen to enter the service rather
than graduate 1879 West Pointers.
For more than two years we have
witnessed the errors and mistakes of
the nations at war, and it seems that
Congress is booming is to beat the
same path already marked by failure
and disaster.
Russia arose en- masse and over
threw her internal enemies. The least
than can be said for us-the people are
losing respect fer our own dear Con-
gress.

WOOD IN THE SOUTH.

When the order was issued creating
the new department of the southeast
| fol- the United States army, and it was
made known that Major General Leon
ard Wood, the senior officer, would
take charge of the new southern com
mand, we were glad and the people
generally over the south voiced their
pleasure. The south refused to be-
lieve that it was a stroke of the de-
partment to reduce his sphere by
moving him from the eastern depart
ent with headquarters at New York
undoubtedly a formidable command
The Times-Recorder thinks that the
appointment of Major General Wood
for the new southeastern department
was a recognition by the war depart
ment of the strength of the south, its
wonderful advantages and assets for
war-time-and for these reasons, it
sent the ranking officer and masterful
organizer to take charge. General
Wood is Americas foremost soldier,
and his appointment to the south is an
agreeable pleasure looking towards the
good of the service, the south and the
nation.
Some of the admirers in the north,
especially around New York, raised a
great hue and cry when the orders
were published moving General Wood.
They charged political punishment;
side tracking" etc. Such things can
always be expected from people who
know more about running the affairs
Of government than those who are
charged with the duty. Did you ever
stop to think how many great men are
overlooked by the people in choosing
their officials? Yea, the said great men
are the only ones who think they are
forgotten.
General Wood is quoted on his
movement to the south as saying:
Some of the best fighters the
country has ever had have come
from the south and l am glad to
be connected with the training of
such men,"
Further, it is aid that General Wood
expressed himself as desiring the
southern assignment more than any
other during the war.
