VALUES HAVE
INCREASED

AS recently as 1914 It was freauent-
ly asserted that one OF the prime
causes of mysterious fires was over-in-
surance, and while the assertion may
have been true in some instances, IN
many II was not. Since 1916, especial
Iy. there has been undreamed or IN
creases in the cost Of building material
of all kinds including brick. lumber,
roofing, ETC., and also In labor and
merchandise, and in many instances no
more insurance is carried on buildings
or contents than In 1914, and should
such property be burned the owners
would almost feel that they were
hardly insured at all. 1t Is not my pur-
pose to try to induce any property
owner to over-iEsure, but merely TO
call attention to the fact that am III

WATER GIVEN MILKING COWS
Test Proven That Animals Drink at

1t stands 10 reason that In winter
the water given milking cows should

the fact that they own creeks or ponds
to which their cows have access in

work and expense, It is hard on the
cows. though the farmers claim Il is

WHAT MAKES YELLOW BUTTER
Real Source and Nature Of Natural
Color Found by Dairy Department
OF Missouri College.

Everybody likes yellow milk and but
ter but sometimes the color Is absent
This absence is especially noticeable
In butter. Chemists Investigated the
cause of this variation In color rs long
ago as 1880, but 1t remained for the
dairy department of The University Of
Missouri college of agriculture TO de-
termlne the real source and nature OF
the natural color of dairy products.
Three years of Investigation not only
showed the cause of the natural color
but made clear the nltlre and source
Of the yellow color that Is found In the
body fat of cattle. The color In the
tailow Is exactly the same as that
found In butter. Cows That give yell
low butter have yellow body fat. while
those which give wh'ter butter have
whittier body fut.
The colOring matter in both cases IL
cnrotin. so-called since II was first
found In carrots. The yellow color In
milk and butter is not made by the an
imal but comes from the feed. This
coloring substance is found In NIL green
leaves, which accounts for the yellow
butter In summer. BY continued feed
ing OF feeds free from coloring matter
II was possible, In the experiments con-

culture, to obtain white butter from Il

SUITABLE HOUSE FOR FOWLS
Most Essential That Hens Be Protect

One OF the most essential things In
poultry keeping, Is TO have suitable
house which will protect the fowls
from Indictment weather aud from
their natural enemies. II Is well I'M
derstood that no two farms will pre-
sent exactly the same conditions; for
Instance, one farmer will desire to
Keep one hundred hens while another
may want many more or less. Then
again. some farms will present one
Kind of soil. whereas on other farms
the chr cter of the soil and drainage
are entirely different. Some farmers
VIII desire house which presents an
attractive appearance. whereas on
other farms poultry houses will be so
located that they are not conspicuous,
ana hence the matter of appearance is
of little concern.
II must be remembered that from
The standpoint Of the hen, appearance
makes very little difference. hut the
house must be so built and so ar
ranged that 1t VIII be n comfortable
place for the hens to live; otherwise
they will not thrive and production
viii not be satisfactory. On many
farms the hens nre not provided with
a house constructed especially for
them but are housed In nm old building

hose

 THE prompt action of President Wilson in ousting Chair

 The President made thorough house cleaning and by doing swept away obstacles which have grevouy layed the governments shipbuding programme. Matters hopeless snarl The President took the logical to settle differences personal and otherwise which proving the United States and the allies in prose- cutting the
 Mr. Denman and General Goethas brought the into dsrepute by their useemly wrangng At time when unity of purpose is of the importance they wasted precious time in writing letters and qubbng matters of policy There also, 1t seems certain amount of ea ousy, which at all times prejudica to effective work Gen. era Goehas believed he should full authority to carry out the programme he m while Mr. Denman thought differently The whole affair is most regreabe because it has not only hurt the prestige of two prominent men, impaired government efficiency
 While the Uboats have been sinking ships aft an alarming rae the hpbudng programme designed to combat the marine activities has been delayed It has been made but should have been further vanced than But for prolonged dssenson the structon of ships would be well organized proceeding at high speed All the preliminary arrangements should have been completed long ago
 It needless say that the spectacle of Mr. Denan and General Goethas quarrelng like schooboys while urgent business marked tme viewed with complacency bv the Germans.
 In appointing Edward Hurley of Chicago as chairman of the shipping board and Admiral Capps take charge of struchon it believed that Mr. Wilson found two men who will work in harmony for the best interests of the country Admiral Capps is by experience and training we'll fitted for the service required of him. With the asco of their predece sors to profit by is probable that these gentlemen will de- vote ther energies whoeheaedy the building ships and building them quickly as possible
