IDEAL COUNTRY OF DELIGHT
Isle of UtllIa Seems to Have Been Az
propriateiy Designated "Lazy
Mans Paradise"

Worth while seems life on the Isle
of Utilla. Its place on the map would
be hard to find, but it's worth discov-
ering Away off in the Southern sea,
never heard from before and but little
known, it comes to the knowledge of
the Pan-American union that here
have americans found home that
others enjoy when they are dead. I'VE
call it a lazy mans paradise" says
the message from this land Of delight.
mot that the inhabitants are neces-
sarily indolent, but simply because a
large amount Of labor is superfiuous.
Nature provides for nearly all our
wants here as In most tropical coun-
tries. Farming is our principal occu-
patton, yet there is not plow on the
island. Frost Is unknown and extreme
heat is never experienced. Ninety de-
grees In the shade would be an un-
usually high temperature. Our grade
schools are of high standard, attend
ance being compulsory ten months in
the year. American text books exclu
sively are used and social life could
not be distinguished from that Of the
United States. Utilla is one of the
Bay islands, string of six verdant
keys In the bay Of Honduras. an arm
of the Caribbean sea, which was dis
covered by Columbus In 1902. They
were then thickly populated by native
Indians, who became slaves. The
islands now are inhabited wholly by
English-speaking people. The first
family to settle there was that Of Jo-
seph Cooper. who found upon landing
two lonely American young men, Sam
uel and Joshua Warren by name. A
few years later came Mark G. Morgan.
an American from Philadelphia. The
descendants Of these men now inhabit
the islands These pioneers were the
Puritan stock, all seafarers imbued
with the spirit of adventure, who
though filed with wanderlust, found
conditions on the island so ideal that
they planted their stakes deep and

coconuts are sent yearly to the United
States. There are fourteen Methodist
churches and six OF the Seventh Day

than 700 members and 300 children to
their Sunday schools.-Ohio State

TO AVOID EXCESSIVE WASTE
Statistics Show That 80 Per Cent Of
Corn Fodder Is Wasted Annually
In Corn Belt.

(By R. w. CLARK, Colorado AgricuItur-
al College, Fort Collins Colo.)
There is produced every year in this
country sufficient forage to feed lib
orally all the live stock of the land,
and leave good balance besides. The
shortage of supplies each year is due
to the spelling and wasting Of for
age already grown, and the means of
preserving this forage will solve the
stock problem Of the country. The
principal waste is now going on with
+.za corn plant. 1t is most noticeable
IN the corn belt states where perhaps
so per cent of the stalk and leaves of
this most valuable forage is wasted
annually. The si1o furnishes a means
whereby all farm forage can be pre-
served and placed in the best possi-
BILE condition for feeding. The silo is
too well known to require descrip-
ton Of this method, but its use is cer-
,tainly sadly wanting. 1t can be safely
said that a silo is proper equipment,
and of great economic value.

acrimony that he (Palmerston) was

much like whiggery. though he often

and believe that the doctrine Is abso-

born and bred tory, and from 1867
to 1880 held office in tory admnistra-
tions. The remaining 35 years of his
life he spent, for the most part, in

was not. The one thing In the world

FISH LIAR WORKS OVERTIME

ring That Is Challenge to the
Imaginative.

That is the worst of those fish sto-
ries. Somebody always comes along
with a better one.
Recently the Evening News told the
V. A. DIS story of the frozen fish that
came to life in the cooking pot Then
eOrrespondent-a naval officer, it
should be said-easily puts that to
shame.
IAN interesting experiment was
tried some little time ago." he writes
to us, with an ordinary herring.
''The fish was put into large bowl
of salt water and every day a small
quantity of water was removed and
an equal quantity of fresh was sub
stituted, until eventually the fish lived
and thrived in purely fresh water
"The owner was so pleased with the
success of his experiment that he then
tried removing very small quantity
of water daily until the bowl was
empty, and found that the herring did
excellently, entirely without water.
and as he was so lively in the empty
bowl he had to put him in a cage.
"Here he lived happily, hopping
from perch to perch just like a bird,
until one day some sudden noise star
tied him and he fell into his water
trough and-was drowned"

until he obtains a pure-bred bull of his
own, breed his cows to a good pure
bred bull owned by some one else. In
that case he would be eligible to en-
rollment.
Question-May children be enrolled

Answer-There is no age limit. Chill
dren who own live stock and who are
able to sign their names and comply
with the requirements may be en-
rolled. Children interested in live
stock should be encouraged to enroll.
Briefly, person must believe that
the scrub rooster and the scrub boar
are as Objectionable, in principle, as
the scrub bull. There must be clean
sweep of inferior sires if the owner
wishes Uncle Sam to officially enroll
him in the Better Sires-Better

easily fulfilled by persons who, realiz-
ing the need for live stock improve
ment, are ready to put their beliefs

The campaign which the United

cooperation with the state agricul-
tural colleges and 0tiier agencies, will
begin on October / against the scrub
sire has created so much interest and
has resulted in so many inquiries be-

the following list of typical questions
and answers has been prepared to in
form more fully concerning the drive
for Better Sires-Better Stock"
Question-Need a person keep all
the classes of live stock in order to
take part in the crusade?
Answer-By no means He may keep
only one class or several classes.
Question-If a person has no live
stock but wishes to join the campaign,
may he be enrolled?
Answer-No; not until he becomes
the owner of live stock. The person
with even one breeding animal, how
ever, is eligible. If male, it must be
a good pure-bred. If female, it may
be of any quality, but must be bred
to a good pure-bred sire.
Don't Join Until Ready to Comply.
Question-If a person enrolls and
then finds it too difficult to comply
with the requirements, may he with
draw?
Answer-Yes; he may withdraw by
returning the official emblem, with an
explanation of the circumstances. But
persons contemplating such course
are advised to defer enrolment until
they can comply with the conditions.

sires in all classes of animals he

PRODUCTION OF CLEAN MILK
Comparatively Easy Matter in Spring

1t is comparatively easy matter to

that the COW is generally on pasture

to care for herself she will keep clean.
