MYSTIC Shrine.

The Ancient and Arabic Order of the
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine was found
ed 400 years ago at Mecca, Arabia.
The modern order is of comparatively
recent origin. 1t was founded at New
York In 1871 by William ]. Florence,
the actor. 1t contains legend as to
Arabic origin and on its affairs rest
copies of the Bible and the Koran. The
Mystic Shriners are an entirely sepa-

of membership is that the applicant
must be either a Scottish Rite Mason,
that is to say, Mason of the thirty

Discusses Some of Problems
Which Have Been Met.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
That the county-agent plan of carry
ing agricultural information to the
farmer is firmly established as sat
isfactory system in Is southern states
is shown in review by officials of the
United States department of agricul-
ture of progress made during the last
calendar year. A report of this work
recently made public shows the status
of this rapidly developing agricultural
organization in the South during 1916
and also discusses some of the prob
lens which are being met in the effort
to increase this service in accordance
with the country's emergency agricul-
tural needs. The confidence of the
states in the county-agent plan is
shown by the fact that most of the
legislatures in the South are making
liberal appropriations to aid in it's
support.
Number of Extension Workers.
There were employed in the Is south
ern states during the year $50 regular
county agents, % assistant county
agents, 81 boys club agents and GO
cOlored men agents for work among
colored people. Each state also has a
director of extension and state agent

PROPER FEED FOR COWS
prepared by the United States De

prepared by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.)
1. Under most circumstances
the COW should be fed all the
J roughage that she will eat up
clean, and the grain ration
should be adjusted to the milk
production.
2. A grain mixture should be
fed In the proportion of one
pound to each three pints or
pounds of milk produced daily
by the COW, except In the case
Of a cow producing a flow of 40
pounds or more, when the ration
may be one pound to each three
and a half or four pounds of
milk. An even better rule is
one pound of grain each day for
every pound of butterfat that
the COW produces during the
week.
8. Feed all the cow will re-
spond to In milk production.
When she begins to put on
flesh, cut down the grain.

for five hundred miles $3.50 andS2.30;
For six hundred miles 1850 and $2.70;

$3.50 These rates will allow the ship
ment of the Ignite coal from North
Dakota and the northern part Of this
state to almost any point in either
state at a rate with a maximum Of
$3.50 per ton, which will be a great
boost to the Ignite mining fields, and
