KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent life insurance companies, IN an
interview of the subject, made the ~
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 30 com.
mon to the American people, and the large
, majority Of those whose applications are
declined do not sven suspect that they
have the disease.

Cooperative Associations Are
Especially Valuable to Own
ers of Small Herds.
ORGANIZATION is HELPFUL
Makes 1t Possible for Dairymen Who
Could Not Afford to Own High
Class Animal to Use Regis
tered Sire-Cost Is Low.

The history of the cooperative bull
associations shows that they are espe-
cially adapted to small herds where Il
valuable bull for each herd would con-
stitute too large part 81 the total in
vestment. Through these associations
farmers or dairylnen who have only
few cattle can have joint ownership,
use and exchange of pure-bred bulls.
The cash purchase and cost of main
tcnance of the bulls belonging to the
members of the association Is distrib-
uted according to the number of cows
owned by each member, thereby Civ
ing the farmer an opportunity to build
up his herd at q minimum expense.
The typical cooperative bull associ-
alton, as organized in this country, is
composed of from 10 to 80 farmers
and jointly owns five bulls. Its terri
tory is divided into five breeding
blocks" one bull being assigned to
each block. AS many as 80 or GO
cows may belong to the farmers in
each block, and the bull In the block
should be kept on farm conveniently
situated. To prevent inbreeding each
bull is moved to the next block every
two years. If all the bulls live, and If
all are kept until each has made one
complete circuit, no new bulls need be
purchased for ten years. In this way
each member of the association has
the use of good pure-bred bulls for
many years, at Il cost of only a small
part of the purchase price of one bull
Ordinarily the purchase price and the
expense of supporting the bulls are
distributed among the members of the
association according to the number
of cows owned by each.
Low Cost of Cooperation.
That the need of pure-bred bulls Is
urgent in many parts of the country Is
evident from the facts brought out by
the United States department of agri-
cultures study of eight districts in
the states of Iowa, Minnesota, and
Massachusetts in which there were no
associations. In this survey informa-
ton was obtained regarding 1919
farmers owning SIT bulls whose aver
age value was SIC. Had the owners
of these cheap bulls been properly or
ganiZcd the same investment would
have purchased the necessary bulls of
an average value of $3.50. On the
farms mentioned nearly four times as
pany bulls were used as would have

been required under proper organlZa-

feeding four bulls when they should
have been feeding only one.
Actual flrst-cost figures from other
cooperative bull associations are more
encouraging. In one association hay
ing more than 100 members the orr.
ginal cost to each member was only
$23. The members already have had
the use of good pure-bred bulls for
four years and probably will have
their use six years longer without adj
ditional cost other than maintenance.
Another association with more than
so members has had the use of good
pure-bred bulls for more than seven
years at an average investment of less
than $50 member, with prospects of
being able to use them for three or
four years more. Practically all dairy.

are needed to develop profitable pure
bred herd. The bull association over
comes the difficulty, and the money
saved can be used toward the pur-
chase of registered females.
Quick Returns on the Investment.
When questioned regarding the
value Of cooperative bull associations,
$50 farmers in Maryland, Michigan
and Minnesota estimated that the use
of bulls belonging to the organization
increased the value of the offspring in
the first generation from so to so per
cent, with an average of Go per cent.
Usually in business transactions in
which there is a probability of heavy
gain there is a possibility of heavy
loss, but in the bull associations the
chances Of profit are excellent, with
little probability of loss. The invest
ment is so small and the chance for
herd improvement so great that the
net returns greatly exceed the small
original investment.

By JESSIE ALLEN FOWLER.
The Well-Known New York chronological Expert

The characters of Lenine of Russia
and Ebert OF Germany make an in
teresting study from psychological
point of view
To make short comparison between
Ebert and Lenine, we would like to
point out that the first has vital
mental temperament, the second mo-
tive-mental one
Ebert is Jolly and self-composed
while Lenine is self-eentered and re-
served
Ebert is broad and liberal-minded
and Lenine is autocratic and selfish.
Ebert has the good of the people
lat heart; Lenine has set views of his
own which he thinks right to enforce.
The leadership of Ebert will be more
for the good of the people, while Len
ines will be one of terror and blood.

in his control as premier; Lenine can
only hold the people in allegiance to
his WISHES as long as he can deceive
the people. By making them think that
he is the strongest mar among them.
He viii not be beloved nor admired
for his good acts, and broader and
more liberal leader should be found
for his place.
Ebert will back up his arguments
by logical and persuasive ideas, while
Lenine will back up his arguments by
force and terror, without gaining the
love and esteem of the people.
Thus, by psychological and ethno-.
logical study OF the two men, we can
see that they. are organized to rule
from opposite points of view, and il
will be interesting to note their meth
DDS of procedure as indicated by the
shape, form and development of their
heads, faces, types and temperaments.
