SMALL FARMER CAN RAISE
PRiZE-WINNING ANIMALS

Not long since we ran across the
very interesting story Of an Indiana
hired man who had saved up a few
hundred dollars, which he invested in
registered Belgian mare. This
mare proved to be an exceptionally
good brood mare, and two of her
colts were good enough to win prizes
at state fairs. She paid back her
cost several times over in the run of
few years and gave that hired
man the satisfaction of standing
along with the most successful breed
ers of his state. The secretary of
the Percheron Association Of Amer
lea writes US that the first prize two
year-old stallion at the Iowa State
Fair last year was bred by a man,
who keeps only four or five mares
and does his farm work with them.
Numerous other prizes have been won
in Iowa and other states by men who
own only two to ten mares and are
general farmers, and not breeders
only. The same thing is true with all
breeds of livestock
Just as good animals can be pro-
duced on a small farm as on great
estate. 1t is only a question Of hav-
ing the ripht kind of foundation stock,
of giving them the proper care, and
then of acquiring the knowledge of
how to mate them so as to intensity
their good qualities and correct their
defects This knowledge seems to be
instructive with some great breeders
but it can be acquired to a certain
extent by any man who knows good
stock and is willing to make a study
of his animals and their individual
traits and breeding Southern Agri-
culturist.

SOME NEW PROJECTS IN PALES.
TINE.
TINE.

Steps are being taken to open a
hospital for animals at Jaffa, which
will be of great benefit to Palestinian
agriculture. The absence of veterin-
airy provision for animals has been
colonies of cattle breeding on a large
scale. The Turkish Government en-
tirely ignored the Importance Of such
provision, as is shown by the fact that
there are only four veterinary sur
geons in the whole Of Palestine, and
the colonists themselves could not af-
ford to make good the shortcomings
of the Government in this respect. AS
result, the cattle breeding industry
suffered. Moreover, the absence of
veterinary help precluded the insur-
ance of cattle, which is a great stimu-
lus in all civilized countries to the
successful development of this indus
try. 1t is hoped, therefore, writes a
correspondent of Palestine" that
the new institutions, established by
DR.. Caspi, will be of great advantage
in promoting the growth of cattle
breeding.
Another project of DR.. Caspis de-
serves mention in this connection. In
order that the colonists may procure
immediate help for their animals in
case of an accident, when it is often
impossible to send the animals away,
it is necessary that every colony
should have always at its disposal at
least an assistant veterinary surgeon.
To make this possible DR.. Caspi has
initiated courses on the medical treat
ment Of animals. The Zionist Pales-
tine Office advertised for six trained
agricultural laborers willing to study
this subject, offering to assist them

PROGRESS IN JEWISH PALEs-
TINE.
(From A Correspondent of "Pales-
tine")

Jerusalem mas Deen COHSiuerdUie
improvement in the organizing capac-
ity of the Jewish inhabitants.
Before the war and up to the time
of the British occupation, the Jews
of Jerusalem were divided into separ-
ate communities, each one preserving
the name and characteristics of the
Jewry of the country whence it came.
This absurd separation inevitably
produced rivalries among the differ
ent communities, which naturally him
dered the achievement of any reform.
But with the arrival of the British,
who brought with them a new spirit
of order and unity, the Jews of Jeru-
slem were led gradually to realize
that the welfare of the city required
the immediate closing up of their
ranks, the abolition Of communal iso-
lation, and the establishment of one
strong and united community for the
common benefit of all sections of
Jewry in Jerusalem. Many were the
attempts to thwart this novel depart
ure, for there were probably some in
dividuals whose interest it was to
perpetuate the system Of sparatism;
but all the attacks have failed and
the idea of one communal authority
for all the different Jewish congrega-
lions in Jerusalem has prevailed and
has become the insistent demand of
all inhabitants.
The Jerusalem Jewish Council is
now making preparations for new
elections, which are to take place
shortly, and all the parties and or
CARNATIONS have been invited to elect
representatives for the arrangement
of the elections. A unified Council
may be said to be an accomplished
fact. All the Jewish inhabitants in
Jerusalem will have the opportunity
of participating in the new elections,
and the elected Council will thus be
the highest authority of the Jews in
the city and will be responsible for all
communal affairs.
A sure sign that Jerusalem is en-
tering on a new era is to be seen in
the projected reconstruction of the
city, for which an extensive plan has
been worked out by the chief engin-
eer Of the Town Council of Alexan-
dria and approved by General Allen
by and the local Town Council. Ac-
cording to this plan, the chief street
of Jerusalem will run from the Jaffa
Gate to the Monastery "Muslaba,"
and will have width Of forty metres.
Another road will be laid with q
width Of thirty metres, and there will
be no road in the town less than
eighty metres wide. In the neighbor.
mood OF the Syrian Orphanage there
will be large garden, and near the
Windmill spacious playground. II
is to be hoped, one of the beautiful
cities of the world. as It was Of old.

enterprises which may prove to be Of

Another interesting experiment IL
that Of the Navigation and Fisheries
Association (Agudath Ha-urayium),
whose primary aim it is to utilize the
water resources of Palestine, which
for centuries have been so badly neg
lected. A leaflet which the origina-
tors of this organization have issued
says:-"The geographical positions Of
our country, which is rich in rivers
and lakes and has long strip Of the
Mediterranean Coast, makes it i'm
perative upon our colonisation to pay
attention not only to agriculture, but
also to sea and river industries, es-
pecially fishing and navigation, which
are at present so primitive and unde-
veloped." Despite the brief existence
Of this organization, it has already an
appreciate number of recruits and
has set to work successfully. In the
neighborhood of Jaffa, on the River
Yarkon (Audja), group of six men,
with the help of the Palestine Office,
have already been engaged in fishing
for two months. Their catches are
sold in Tel-Aviv. Similar groups are
being arranged at Haifa, and on the
Lake of Liberals (for the Jerusalem
market), on the River Shorak (Nebi
Reuben), and in Samaria, for the
South Judaean and Samaritan Colonies
respectively.
In this CONNECTION it may also be
mentioned that ten Jewish boatmen
have become members of the existing
organization of the Aram boatmen.
The conclusion drawn from the lit
tie experience so far gained is that
the most suitable way to promote Jew
ish sea and river industries is the
establishment of a waper-farm at
some central point on the Palestinian
Coast. Steps have already been TAX
en- in this direction. and Baron James
de Rothschild is willing to hand over,
for this purpose, his land and build
ings at Tantura, which is very near
Haifa. He has also promised finan-
cial help. The general public is keen
ly interested in this new industry, and
much help is promised. The Italian
Regiment, after leaving Tel-Aviv
handed over its wooden house to the
fishing group on the Audja.

Government
Price Making

There are always two parties to a
bargain. and therefore it Is likely that
opinions will be about equally divided
over the amusing contrasts afforded
by the governments policy regarding
the prices Of the goods 1t has to sell
in such quantities that government
prices control trade prices. France Of
fers $500, 100000 for $500. 000, 600
worth Of United States goods, without
which France would still be fighting.
Nobody would drive hard bargain
with France, but the government pro-
poses to bring home the stuff rather
than to take a NTH Of its cost. On
the other hand. the congress commit :
tee investigating the MANAGEMENT OF
the war criticised the effort OF the
army department to get what II CO.

1t was better TO Smash the market
than to get what might be realized

The shipping board is selling the
greatest quantity OF shipping supplies
ever offered and is proceeding eau
tiously so as not to depress prices
against itself. The government has

Whether or not the patent medicine
actually licked Willard there's some
thing in the patent medicine theory.
There are patent medicines that trend
toward battle, murder and sudden

sine in short pint bottles that was the
essence OF fighting preparedness.
They're getting it now.
There are certain patent medicines
OF which a half teaspoonful injected
into q guinea pig sends the animal out
seeking a Royal Bengal tiger to tear
and rend into black and yellow strips.
A, proportionate amount injected into
the human stomach thru the regular
channels fills the patient with the Will
liam Hohenzollern impression that the
whole world needs licking and that
he is the person ably responsible for
the job. However, the dose hasn't been
specific so far. 1t just furnishes the
ambition. II DEMPSEY has found an

medicine jag hasn't proved satisfacto-
ry. OF course, like the other fellow
who played the crooked wheel because
it was the only game in town, it will
have to do If nothing better offers.
But it lacks satisfaction. 1t tastes like
the devil and affects the internal or
sans fluently.
Look over the patent medicines.
They have the percentage of alcohol

many of the new arrivals have good
stiff percentage of jolt in them. While
that scr. sf medication proceeds TIE
real tanks will find it and light on it
as bees upon a posy.
The new medicine should sell well
