RANKED WITH GREAT POETS
John Greenleaf Whittier Has Written
His Name Among the ImmortaIs
of the Earth.

John Greenleaf Whittier, one of the
best loved and most famous Of Amer
lean poets, and. perhaps. the most ar
dent abolltionist, known to United
States history. was born December II
near Haverhill. Mass. He was appren-
ticed to Journalism and became an ed
itor at the early age Of twenty-five.
He held various editorial positions. and
throughout his life devoted himself to
the writing of both prose and poetry,
having no doubt a deep inspiration In
that he belonged to the same age that
gave Emerson and Longfellow to Amer
tea and Tennyson and the Brownings
to England. With such as his contem-
poraries Whittier. being himself bless
cd with natural talents. could do no
less than what he did in literature.
Whittier. however. Is better known
to fame because Of his poems. His
prose Is not so exalted. though true.
He wrote MY Psalm." Barclay Of
Ury." Barbara Frietchie." "At Sum-
down" and various other wonderful
poems. He lived to be eighty-fve
years old. dying peacefully September

DAIRY
FACTS
PROPER SELECTION OF BULL
One Of the Most Important considera.
tions for Improvement Of Herd
Look to Records.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Since the use of meritorious pure
bred bulls is the means by which men,
bers of bull association expect to
improve their live stock, one of the
many important. considerations is
the selection of the bulls. Such bulls
improve the herds, and the associa-
ton interest increases in proportion to
the improvement obtained On the
other hand, poor bulls cause the in
terest to decrease accordingly. If a
poor dairy bull is used the milk pro-
duction of the members herds is great
ly reduced, the interest is lessened,
and these conditions may lead to the
breaking up of the association. I'm
fortunately, an excellent dairy bull
can be selected with certainty only
when his daughters records are
known.
Such o tried or tested bull can be
depended upon with great certainty to
cause improvement in the herds iE
the bull association. The owner OF
tried bull, however, usually knows
the record of the animals daughters
and rightfully asks high price for
him. The high cost often makes the
members hesitate to purchase such
bulls for the association, and instead
they buy younger and untried bulls
whose ancestors have made good pro-
ductiOn records. No bulls should be
purchased for an association except
from one of these two classes. Con-
sidering the records of ancestors, the
most important. are those of the sire
and dam. In the case of the sire, pro-
duction record is taken as the average
of all his daughters records. Very
often the records of some of the an
cestors are lacking, but every effort
should be made to obtain bulls whose
ancestors in the first two generations
have an average yearly record of at
least 400 pounds of. butterfat at ma
turity.
The state agricultural college may
be in position to assist in looking
up pedigrees and records and always
should be consulted. AS soon as the
money can be provided for the pur-
pose, it is advisable for the associa-
ton to obtain set of Advanced Regis
ter" or Register of Merit" books
and, If possible, a set of breed
registry books Of the breed used, both
of which are valuable for reference to
all the members of the association. In
formation in regard to the cost of "Ad-
vanced Register" and breed-registry
books may be obtained from the breed
associations as follows:

PLAN TO MAKE
OIL FROM SHALE

O heavy, thick, dark oil, resembling In
many ways the petroleum known as
fuel ell and it may be used as such.
These crude oils vary, as may be sup
posed. according to the shales from
which they are produced. They smell
more like asphalt than petroleum.
An immense amount of gas Is liber-
ated by the diStillation. Some enthusi-
asts believe this gas will be a sufficient
fuel supply for the retort furnaces, but
in this the chemists do not agree The
idea savOrs too much of perpetual mo-
ton. Important by-products are paraf-
fin and ammonium sulphate. 1t is also
considered probable some form OF COM
mercial fertilizer will be obtained
Several bona fide experimental shale
reduction plants are now being CON
structed in the three states mentioned.
Chemists of the bureau of mines
are agreed that. the greatest hlndrance
that could occur TO the legitimate de-
velopment of shale oil industry In the
United States would be any extensive

time. nothing more.
In order to encourage legitimate and
practical experimentation. an effort
will be made to induce congress to
make an appropriation to assist re-
sponsible companies.
Let the fact be clearly stated that
manufacture Of oil from shale must
be, so far as Is now known, one of the
greatest industries In years to come.
Plants which are understood to be ex-
perimental are perfectly legitimate
now. They are good businesses. But
evidences Of validating are abundant,
and they will tend to discredit the en-
tire business and cause 1t to be looked
upon for long time, perhaps, as a
gamble, just as wildcat mines and oil
wells have caused many people with
money to invest to view all such
propositions with suspicion.

DEPOSITS IN THREE STATES
Decrease of Supply Of Petroleum and
Products and Ever Increasing
Demand Makes Substitution

/ Salt Lake City, Utah.-Oil shale
must be looked to, probably for years
to come. to supply increasing demands
for and lessened supply of petroleum
and its products. Salt Lake City seems
to be the natural center for expert
mentation and exploitation Of an in

vest and south of Salt Lake City, are
shale deposits of unknown magnitude,
aid of richness surprising that of
shales known elsewhere. Oil shale is
common and general term for. sew
eral different geological formations
different in appearance and in gum
content
Without attempting any elaborate
description, it will be sufficient to say
that the Colorado deposit is found in
dense masses Of black rock, often with
considerable fossil content. Some
southern Utah shaIe appears in broad
strata two or three inches thick, light
gray In color. and may be extracted
and handled like great planks, while
the Nevada deposit pronounced rich

more than half an inch thick, of fine,

Different Productive Methods.
Chemists say different methods of

utilization of these various forms of

the University of Utah, in Salt Lake
City. Here DIR. w. ID. Bonner, consult
ing chemist to the bureau of mines,
department of the interior. In charge
of laboratory investigation, is the au-
thority. DR.. Quinn is his assistant.
A fact which has been widely herald
ed, but which is pronounced of no i'm
portance by the chemists, is that Il
small shale reduction plant was built
at the university about a year ago. II
is not used now. nor did its use ever
have any special significance. To be
even more plain, the fact of this small
retort having been built at the univer-
sity was seized upon by some pro-
moters of "shale oil" companies and
considerable advertising matter has
been circulated regarding an "indus-
try" which does not exist.
The proper method Of reduction (de-
structive distillation is the chemical
term) of oil shales of the United
States has not been determined. Re
filming of the resultant crudes has not
been satisfactorily accomplished.
Chemists anticipate no difficulty in
perfecting these processes-but it has

breeding represented in their pedi-
grees. Efforts should be made to Sc
lect bulls that have the same family
lines in order that line breeding may
be practiced when the bulls are ex-
changed. Before the bulls are finally
purchased plenty of time should be
given to selecting the line of breeding
desired.
Although records Of production are
of great Importance, it is very neces-
sary also that the bulls selected have
plenty of strength, great vigor and
good body conformation If the men,
bers are not experienced in buying
cattle, 1t is well to ask the state agri-
cultural college for advice and assist.
ance in making the selection.
In buying bulls special care should
be taken to see that the animals
chosen are healthy and especially that
they are free from the infection of
either tuberculosis or contagious abor-
ton. If possible the bulls should be
purchased from herds accredited by
the bureau of animal industry as be-
ing free from tuberculosis. A list of
such herds may be obtained from the
bureau. If it is impossible to buy from
an accredited herd purchase from a
breeder who will furnish satisfactory
evidence that the animals have passed
the tuberculin test and have never
reacted to that test.
