N 1919 there were more grain fires than
ever before. Reports received by the
~ California State Board Of Forestry show
total fire loss Of over $400,O00, in 335
fires. Carefulness would have eliminated
many Of these hres-saved this loss!
The Northwestern Mutual Fire Asso-
citation is founded on co-operation-co-op-
Grafton between grain growers to prevent
grain fres and cooperation with grain
growers to cut their insurance costs.
To eliminate fires caused by careless
ness is the first consideration Of this hand

Cooperation will prevent terrible fire

The Northwestern Mutual, to reward it's
policy holders who. assist in spreading the
doctrine of carefulness and who take proper
precautions to safeguard their own property
by insuring their grain, makes very favor
able rates grain insurance.
Northwestern Mutual insurance costs
one-third less, on an average, than insur-
ance in other concerns.
This is made possible by reducing over
head expenses and by careful selection Of
risks, with consequent reduction in fires
The Northwestern Mutual is today rated
as one of Americas leading fire insurance
organizations. Over One Million Dollars

vent fires

GUM SHOES FOR
THE WORK HORSE
RUBBER HORSE SHOE HAS BEEN
PERFECTED AND WILL SOON
REPLACE STEEL
And Will Be Placed on the Market
in the Near Future; Is a N~on-Skid,
Noiseless, ~SparkIess, Stylish San
dial for the Old Gray Mare.

Old Dobbin is to be gum-shoed.
Yes, the old bay mare is going tc
have rubber soles for her tired, ach-
ing feet.
Instead of gathering e the cob
blestones with steel plated hoofs, Ole
Dobbin soon will be stepping along
like a quiet lady.
Her hoof will be manicured fol
rubber horseshoes. The idea, which
is to be developed on a very wide
scale by the Firestone Rubber com
pany, was developed by Philip Room
ey. 1t is figured enough rubber
horseshoes, which fit in a steel shout
der, will be turned out to prevent
a slump in the rubber business which
is now threatened by the break in
the automobile market.
There are more than $4,000 600
Dobbins in the United States, some
100000 of them being in Montana.
So upholstery for all the Dobbins'
feet-each Dobbin, you remember,
having four feet-will be quite an
undertaking.
A lot of the jolts and jars are to
be taken out of the horses life, and
be non-skid. They will be of all
shapes and sizes, with fashionably
broad toes and open heels-or bar
red, padded and welted as fancy may
dictate.
And one point about these new
shoes-old Dobbin will have to be
taken to the blacksmith chiropodist
only once a month instead of BIZ
weekly, as at present.
Charles Goodyear, it may be re-
membered, many years ago, expert
mented with rubber horseshoes, US
ing a chicken as a tryout model. But
the old hen wasn't a success.
But Rooney had an inspiration. 1t
was a horseshoe constructed of a
thin plate of steel and covered either
partially or completely with vulcan
lied rubber. Since it is impossible
to weld steel and rubber together,
Rooney and a friend used a system
of tieing, a hand-in-glove arrange
ment that worked out perfectly.
SO rubber horseshoes will be on
the market in so days.
The influence on literature will be
far-reaching. No more will sparks
be dashed from the flying rocks by
the speeding horses hoofs. The poet
will simply say the steed went so fast
his rubber shoes melted. And as for
dramatics. Well, when the hero
dashes up madly to rescue or kidnap
the heroine, as the case may be, the
property man will be a golfer who
bounces a few gold balls against the
wall to denote the pounding of the
horses hoofs.
Truly a gentler era has come.

SATISFACTION OF
TILLERS OF SOIL
FARM POPULATION DECREASES
WHETHER TIMES ARE
GOOD OR BAD
Writer Believes That the Solution Is
to Make the Farm Exclusively a
Commercial Enterprise With the
Farmer Living in a Nearby Vii
Iage.
BY John 7. White

In good years and in bad years, in
places where farming is profitable
and in places where it is not profit
able, there is more or less dissatis-
faction with farming as an occupa-
ton. 1t is not primarily a matter OF
profit or loss; 1t exists regardless OF
these things. In hard times and
prosperous times the decrease in
farm population has been fairly con
slant.
1t cannot be too often reiterated
that the reason farming satisfies a
smaller and smaller number of peo-
pie is that emphasis has been laid
almost entirely on it's financial side.
This is illustrated in New England.
The early New England farmers
made farming not mainly a business,
but a life. AS soon as they began
making it simply a business, they
lost interest in the matter and sold
their farms. 1t is true that the soil
in many places in New England has
been badly depleted, but it never was
good, and with up-to-date methods
better crops are obtainable there
than could be secured in past gener-
ations. People simply left the farms
as soon as farming became a purely
commercial occupation.
1t may be said that merchandising
or some other occupation may be car
ried on in the city exclusively as a
business, and it may be asked why
the same thing may not be done in
farming in the country. The reason
is, that in the city one may separate
ones home and family life complete
ly from his business. In the country
this cannot, under present modes Of
living, be done. The farm and TIE
are, indeed, in effect a unit. If farm
position, home life suffers and there
is constant dissatisfaction.
There are two possible solutions
for the difficulty. One of them is
no more than a possibility, and
could not be adopted without radical
and undesirable changes in American
farming. This solution IS to make
the farm exclusively a commercial
enterprise, with the farmer not living
or it, but living rather in a nearby
village or town. This system is in
use in some European countries, but
it is not adapted to an extensive ag-
riculture, such as exists in this coun-
try and will exist here for many years
to come.
The other plan is to make farm
ing both a business and a life, to
make the building of a home life, at
least equal to the home life of a
prosperous city man, as important
the building of a good farming
business. The two will go together
much better than many persons
many farmers-think. This is
the combination for American farm
life-the combination that will make
it both financially profitable and
happy.

WISE P0ULTRYMAN
NOW MAKES PLANS
GET BIRDS IN GOOD SHAPE FOR
THE LAYING SEASON AP-
PREACHING
Big Profit in Winter Egg Production
Justifies Care and Thought of the
Hens That Are to be Selected o
the Egg Producing Flock.
BY Willard Thompson

AS the fall months approach the
wise farmer and poultryman begins
to turn over in his mind his plans for
the coming winter and ensuing year,
for the man who looks ahead contin-
ually in his work is the one whose eff
forts and labor and thought will
more likely be crowned with success
than the man who places all his en-
deavors on today's problems and lets
the morrow come as it may. THESE
are days when agricultural indus
tries, and especially the business OF
poultry production, need to use every
advantage that may accrue from con-
sidering every angle of the business
and every factor that leads toward
economical and profitable produc-
tion.
l do not mean to be an alarmist
for the prospects that lie ahead for
the chicken raiser surely seem bright.
Yet in order to get in on this, fore
sight must be practiced. The poul-
trv farmer has an excellent oppor-
tunity to practice this virtue just at
this time of year. His laying and
breeding flocks have slackened up
in production. His pullets are well
along on the road to development.
Both these flocks enter into the com
position of his producing flocks for
this coming winter.
1t is a mistaken notion that one
should wait until the very eve of
winter days is here before giving
serious consideration to selecting the
birds that are to go into the laying
houses as business units. They can
not be prepared over night for their
work of winter egg production. The
writer sincerely believes that the
fall is the time to begin talking about
this problem, which is undoubtedly
one of the most important for the
poultry raiser to consider. 1t is then
a paramount task to fit the birds that
are to be expected to turn out the
in a few weeks, and time will
fly quickly.

governmental control of the sale OF
liquor received a majority of at least

law.
Only two cities in the province,
Penticton and Nelson, voted against
the government control project, Van

prohibition, gave a majority of TO-

Results in the outlying districts,
