RABBITS OFFER SOLUTION
OF HIGH COST OF MEAT

Rabbit raising is not to be over
looked as d part answer to the pres
ent shortage of meat, says H. B.
Landsen, poultry specialist with the
Agricultural Extension Division. In
quiries are coming to Mr. Landsen
daily for information concerning
growing of rabbits and he is giving
assistance to number of county
agents in finding pairs of animals for
their demonstrators, and instructing
in their care.
The growing of rabbits appeals es-
pecially to the city and village dwell
lers. 1t furnishes an opportunity for
an agreeable change in the family
diet. for cutting down the cost of
living and conserving the meat sup
ply. 1t is especially suited to young
people.
Rabbits are easily raised and main
tanned at small cost of feed not sus-
ceptible to disease, stand confinement
well, very prolific and require but a
small space in the back, yard or un-
der back shed. The mature early
and furnish palatable and highly
nutritious meat. Many are turning
their attention to this industry.
Mr. Landsen recommends the Bel
gian Hare, Fleming Giant or New
Zealand Red on account of their size,
prolificness and splendid table quail

stock will be furnished on applica-

ILLINOIS SURVEY ARGUES
STRONG FOR BETTER BULLS

"A comparison was made recently
Of 673 Illinois farms to ascertain how
many use purebred bulls. 1t was
found that purebreds were in use on
l24 of the farms and that the aver
age yearly profits on such places
was 81, 102, as compared with S734
on 466 farms where grade bulls are
used. Scrub bulls are used by 83 of
the farmers, and it was shown that
their farms were operated with re-
suit of an average loss of S234.0 90
every year"
This paragraph quoted from the
American Hereford Journal does not
mean that the registered bull alone
is responsible for changing a farm
from one that is operating at a loss
to one bringing in a good living in
come. Nor does it mean that if a
farmer using scrub bull and buys
a purebred to take its place that the
purchase of the purebred acts as an
open sesame and forthwith his bank
balances changes its color, explains
L. |. Case, beef cattle specialist with
the Agricultural Extension Division.
But it does illustrate the point
that the better class of farmers are
using purebred bulls" says Mr.. Case,
and that where mans attitude of
mind is such that he sees the benefit
OF using a purebred in place of a
scrub bull, he is very apt to become
progressive in, other farming meth

under arrest at Topeka. Kansas, ac-
cording to telegram received yes

Governor Brough, upon receipt of
the telegram, telegraphed Chief of
Police G. G. Harmon of Topeka to
hold Hill until officers from Phillips

papers. A reply was received yester-
day afternoon which said the negro
would be held.

is guilty of murder
Immediately after the instruction

lance north from Elaine, on Septem-
Der so, Hill is said to have left the
country. He was traced through sew
eral states to Kansas, and finally was
apprehended through a letter he
wrote to his wife, asking her to join
him at Topeka.

that if the governor of Kansas re-
fused to honor his requisition for

COOPER GIVES POINTERS
ON GRAPE CULTURE

Grapes may be pruned any time
after the leaves fall and before the
buds begin to swell in the spring.
However, if the vineyard is small it
IS some times wise to delay the prun-
ing until spring because of our
flunctuating temperatures in the
winters, is the advice of J. R. Coop
CT, horticulturist of the University
Of Arkansas. On the other hand. if
there is considerable pruning to be
done, it is impracticable to wait un-
til spring for if the pruning is de-
layed until the buds begin to swell.
the vines will be weakened from the
loss of sap from the cut ends.
I'VE find the greatest tendency
among amatuers is to prune too light
ly,' Mr.. Cooper says. "They seem
to be afraid of pruning too severely
and consequently leave more wood
than is desirable. Proper pruning and
training of the vines are the Most i'm
portant points in grape culture and
tIe pruning is more or less COM
pes operation in which certain rules
must be more or less rigidly follow
Ell. 1t is not simply judicious thin
ming out of surperflous branches as
is the case in pruning fruit trees.
The important factor in grape
pruning is the selecting of the prop
er kind and amount of wood to pro
duce the next years crop. 1t must
be remembered that not all buds will
produce fruit the following season.
The first thing for the novice to
learn is how to distinguish between
fruit bearing wood and wood which
will not bear fruit.

Before the buds set in the spring
the vines should be securely tied to
the trellis. This trains the vine in
the right direction, keeping it per-
fectly, divided and distributed over
the tells and prevents danger from
the wind.
Scupernog Grapes are prunned
very much like directions given above
for bunch grapes, but one half to
twice as much wood must be left on
grapes of this kind.

TWO SEATS MAY
BE REFUSED
increased Population May Make 1t
impossible For Iowa to Retain Her
Present Basis of Representa-
ton 1t is Reported.

Unless the membership of the house
| is increased from 435 to at least 500
| to meet the increased population
shown by the 1920 census, ten states
will lose one or more representatives,
according to Representative Siegel. OF
New York, chairman of the census
committee which will frame the new
apportionment bill. Those states are:
Indiana, Iowa and Missouri, which
will lose two congressman each; and
Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Nebraska, Vermont and Virginia,
which will lose one congressman each.
Mr.. Siegel explains that If the house
membership is retained at its present
figure, it will be necessary to increase
the population basis in each congress
sional district beyond the 211,00O or
major portion thereof now fixed. If
this is done, he says, the ten states
named will lose one or more OF the
present districts because their popf
lations have not increased in proper
ton to those of other states.
On the basis of the estimated popu-
1ation of 1O6,000,000 for the whole
country in 1920, an increase Of approx
imately 100000 in ten years, Mr..
Siegel says sixty-five or sixty-siX new
seats in the house must be created If
the ten states are to retain their pres
ent numerical representation. While
precedent warrants the increase, Mr..
Siegel declares theNe is strong opposi-
tion to it on the part of some of the
present representatives, while others
favor reduction to as few as 800 mem
| berS.
Mr.. Siegel expects the work of franz
ing the new apportionment bill in ac-
cord with the new population to begin
with the reconvening of congress in
December and he anticipates that the
measure will be passed early in 1921.
! Every decade since 1890, with the
Isingle exception of 1910, the house
membership has been enlarged to
keep pace with 'the growing popula-
ton. Now the house floor is crowd
ed when all members are present;
seats nearly fill the chamber: the old
individual desks have been discarded
and an increase in membership prob
ably will have to be solved by narrow
ing the width of the seats.
Ten years ago the house member
ship was increased from 391 to 435
on the basis of population of o.
972,266 and the only exception to such
a procedure occurred in 1910 when ten
congressman were knocked out by the
apportionment, the membership being
fixed at 232 after having been 242 for
ten years.
The last apportionment kept intact
the numerical strength of all state
delegations besides providing for GER
tain increases, but even then several

FRENCH WILL
ALWAYS HONOR
Napoleon Never Ceases to Be a Hero
With His Countrymen-Many
Monuments Have Been
Left Of His Work.

| Paris can never forget Napoleon.
| Ever since the first emperor died,
! leaving monuments of his work in
every corner of the city from the
! Madeleine to the Church of st. Rob,
| "his children" the French, have been
erecting memorials and dedicating
their acts to the little Corslcan, OBJ
serves the New York Evening Sun.
The first centenary Of his death
falls on May 5, 1921. Already COM
mittee has been formed to organize
big celebration in the French CAPT
tai Probably more monuments In
his name will be erected during the
festivities. The first of a long series
of memorials which are to come has
lust been started in the Napoleon en-
dowment, fund to help many chari-
ties which the Frenchmen would not
think of dedicating to any but their
great leader.
The fund when fully subscribed
will be offered to the government to
be used in the work of reconstruct
ing the war-torn sections Of the land
and to help disabled, soldiers, orphans
and other sufferers from the Teu-
tonic invasion.
How the people of Paris could
erect another great souvenir of the
immortal Bonaparte in their city, al
ready crowded with objects of art
and history, is not quite evident to
the foreign visitor. OF the many
structures Of this type which dot the
city. not a few are the work OF or
one in remembrance of him.
In the heart Of Paris the Church
Of the Madeleine might be mentioned
as one of his works which still re-
main. In his enthusiasm to make the
building the center Of Frances glory
he decreed in 1906 that it should be

the "grand army" The Cathedral of
Notre Dame may thank the same
patron for it's present existence, for
it was he who reopened it in 1902
after it had been started on the road
to ruin by the revolutionists. who
had turned it into Temple Of Rea-
son.
