MILLET INJURIOUS
AS EXCLUSIVE SEED
Hay May Be Used as Part Of Ra-
ton, but Feeding Alone Is
Unsafe, Expert Says.

GEORGE II. GLOVER, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins, Colo
rado.)
The belief is prevalent that millet
fed to mares will cause abortion and
is otherwise injurious. The North Da-
kota experiment station several years
ago issued a bulletin on the injurious
effects of a continuous ration of millet
hay on horses. The conclusions reached
were in substance that horses when
fed exclusively on millet hay for a
considerable period developed irrita-
ton of the kidneys, swelling and in
fusion of blood into the joints, and
finally softening of the bones.
DR.. e. +. Ladd reported having found
in millet hay, at all stages of growth,
a glucosid called setarian. Farmers
generally believe that it is the seeds
of millet that cause the trouble but 1t
seems that this claim is not substanti-
ated. Mlllet hay as a part ration Is
safe and makes an excellent adjunct
to other roughage for horses but from
what information we have on the sub
ject at this time IL would seem unwise
to feed 1t to horses as an exclusive
ration.

The widest blooms" In America new
er exceeded that which occurred In
Paris during the early part Of the
eighteenth century. II was when Laws
mississippi Scheme" reached the
crest in its meteorlc course.
In two or three years the manufac-
lures of Paris increased four-fOld. The
population was added to by hundred
thousands. The vast numbers of peo-
pie who came to Paris were forced to
live in garrets, kitchens and stables.
This amazing activity was caused by
antcipations that huge profits would
be derived from trade with the Louisi-
ana province. At the beginning OF the
reign of Louis XIV France was in seri-
Gus financial straits owing to the wars
of Louis XIV. Law was Scottish
financier who submitted to the French
government a tempting plan for reduc-
ing the national debt by a systematic
cultivation of commercial relations
with the French territory in North
America.
With the protection of the govern
ment he organized, in 1717, the Com
pagnie d'Occident, capitalized at 10O,-
100000 lIvres. His company was In
vested with the privilege of trading ex-
clusively with the Province of Louisi-
ana for twenty-five years. The infiu-
ence of the Compagnie d'Occident over
Louisiana was made so great that 1t
amounted practically to a new govern
ment. In 171S the name of the COM
pany was changed to the Banque Roy
ale, with the king, himself, guaran-
teeing the notes that were issued. In
t719 the company obtained monopoly
of trade with the East Indies, China
and the South Seas and was named
the Compagnie des hides.
BY this time so successful was Law
in arousing popular interest that when
$4,000 new shares were offered 300 900
applications were made for them. Then
the boom above described reached its
elimination.
The entire scheme was doomed to
failure. Actual operations had hardly
been started when the government
greatly increased its paper money cir
culation on the strength of this pros
perity. People began to realize that
they were riding on the crest of a
bubble. The end came swiftly and al
though Law endeavored to remedy mat
tiers by drastic measures he was forced

PRUNE APPLE TREES
IN WINTER SEASON
Annual Heavy Dormant Pruning
Found Beneficial From the
Growth Standpoint.

Extensive experiments made ut the
West Virginia station throw new light
upon pruning. These investigations
verify many of the theories commonly
accepted and give new facts with ref
erence to pruning apple trees.
A summary of bulletin 159 of the
West Virginia station says:
This bulletin is a preliminary re-
port of a pruning experiment cover
ing a period of four years and embrace
ing 366 apple trees Of various ages.
Study has been made of the effects on
vigor of dormant pruning, summer
pruning at different times, and COM
binations of dormant and summer
pruning.
Heavy annual dormant pruning re-
suited In stranger terminal growth
than lighter pruning on trees of all
ages.
In the study of trees up to five and
six years of age IL was found that an
nual heavy dormant pruning was bene-
fetal from the growth standpoint for
the first two or three years. after
which IL dwarfed growth so that by
the end Of the period the lightly
pruned trees showed a strikingly
greater increase In trunk diameter,
branch diameter, size of top, and to-
tai annual growth.

"Your scheme is preposterous in the
extreme. 1t is of so extravagant a
character as to be positively absurd.
Then look at the recklessness of your
proceedings You are proposing to
cut up our estates In all directions for
the purpose of making an unnecessary
road. Do you think for one moment
of the destruction of property In it?"
Such was the comment of one Sir
Ashley Cooper, great Engllshman,
on the first railroad that Stephenson
proposed in England
Other comments of the time are also
interesting. For example, Mr.. Berk-
eley, member of parliament for Chel-
tenham, said: Nothing is more dis
tasteful to me than to hear the echo
of our hills reverberating the noise
of kissing railroad engines running
through the heart of our hunting coun-
try and destroying the noble sport TO
which | have been accustomed from
my childhood"
But this is mild in comparison with
what one Colonel Sibthorpe said: 81
would rather meet a highwayman or
see burglar on my premises than an
engineer"
Physicians stated that travelling
through tunnels would expose healthy
people to colds, catarrh and consump-
ton.
Witness this reassuring article APP
pearing in the London Quarterly Re
view in 1925: 'Tt is certainly some
consolation to those who are to be
whirled at the rate of 10 or 20 miles
an hour, by means of a high-pressure
engine, to be told that they are In no
danger of being sea sick while on
shore; that they are not to be scalded
TO death nor drowned by the bursting
of n boiler; and that they need not
mind being hit by the scattered frag-
fnents or dashed to pieces by the fir
ing off or the breaking of a wheel. But
with all those assurances we should
expect the people of Woolwlch to suf-
fer themselves to be fired off upon one
of the Congreve's ricochet rockets, as
trust themselves to the mercy of an
engine, going at such a rate"
Indeed, for a long time, the nobility
of England would not ride on
the railroads. II any travelling was
to be done they would allow their
servants, with the baggage. to use the

would be better to use some one of
the prepared washes put up by manu-
facturers. In fact, many large or
chardlsts prefer to use sprays Of this
class In preference to making the

injury to the trees from the sprays

during the winter In mild climates),
since at this time washes may be APP
piled at much greater strengths than
when the trees are In foliage. The
aim is to use the wash about as strong
as the tree will stand, thereby secur-
ing the maximum killing effect. upon
the insects. Used in this way the
washes Of the petroleum or kerosene
series are most likely to cause injury
TO the fruit buds and tender twigs,
and the lime-sulphur washes least like
ly to do so. Fish-oll soap sprays as
recommended lOT uOTluduL lTteS are
comparatively safe, though reports are
at hand of injury to fruit buds, espe-
cially from fall applications. Stone
fruits, such as peach, plum, etc., are
more susceptible to injury from sprays
than apple and pear, and on the for
mer the lime-sulphur sprays should
always be used. Petroleum and mis-
chile oils are more frequently used on
apple and pear, and owing to their
spreading and penetrating qualities
are perhaps more effective in destroy
ing the scales on the terminal twigs,
which are infested to greater extent
In the case of these fruits. The sew
eral sprays In use are: Q) Lime-sul'
phur wash series; (2) petroleum-oil
series Qncluding mlscible oils), and
(3) soap washes.

At the same time similar project
was coming to its end In England. The

These early attempts at large scale
business organization ushered in the
modern type of corporation. A brief
sketch of how our present complex
business organization evolved should
be interesting to the readers of this
series, for the greater proportion OF
banking is inseparably linked with
business. Many of the investment
bonds on the market today are obli-
cations of corporations.
The corporation, in Its essential prin-
clples, has been traced back as far as
ancient Babylon. 1t grew out of the
activities of families In commercial
ventures. A family of fishermen would
be as one in the ownership of boats.

Their trust In one another led natural
ly 10 the recognition OF each member
as an agent of the firm, whose acts
bound the others, and to the unlimited
liability of each for payment of obli.
gatlons-features of the partnership.
The corporation came into existence
as an improvement over the partner.
ship In handling large projects and in
limiting the liability of members. II
is asserted by Blackstone that the cor
poration as we see 1t today descended
directly from the practice of Roman
business men. The Roman corpora
lions were known as colleges" They
enabled aristocratic Romans to engage
In vulgar trade secretly.
In medieval times the corporation
form of organization was used chiefly
with municipalities and ecclesiastical
bodies. Guilds and municipalities were
often chartered by the crown because
they could exercise the power which
the king himself was unable to WELD.
The American "trust" is not strictly
American. The idea of trusts origl.
mated in the middle ages through the
desire of the church to get around the
statutes of ''mortmain." These laws
were not favorable to those who had
estates wllled to them in perpetuity.
The scheme adopted was to have prop
erty decided to third party, who would
administer 1t for the benefit of the
church. This Is similar to the modern
trust organization, where stock of va
rious corporations Is held In trust by
a holding company. Probably the pop.
ular idea that trusts are illegal origi-
mated In this first evasion of the law.
The trade union has apparently al
ways existed. The Romans had them.
In medieval times they were called
guilds and crafts. Journeymen often
formed associations for protection. The
purpose they gave was religious wor-
ship, but that was only a cover for
what we would now call trade unions.
They conducted strikes and obtained
increases in wages.

This occurred during the beginning
of what economists have called the
industrial revolution" At that time
there followed in rapid succession the
invention of many machines, such as
the steam engine, cotton gin, spinning

established and banks multiplied. II

the accumulation of capital by indi.

Now capital Is largely obtained by
offering bonds for the investment of
