How To Fail In A Dairy

Sometimes the best way to show
how to do thing is to tell how II
should not be done. Then the way
to succeed will be clearly evident.
With this plan in view a West Vir-
ginia farmer gives some rules on
how not to succeed with cows, a
copy Of which has Just been received
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. The farmer-humorist
says:
Don't weigh your milk, for then
you might have to figure and think.
Feed the cows timothy hay-it is
good for race horses.
Contrasting associations are need
less-they show how to save and
know.
Keep the bran hot-cows are like
woodchucks.
Don't have many windows in the
barn-the hired man might look
out.
Keep water ice cold shivering
gives the cows exercise. a
Avoid heavy milkers-they con-
sumo too much valuable time.

Corn For The Starving

Fifty million bushels of corn will
be the gift of American farmers to
the starving millions in Central
Europe, China, and the Near East.
The grain is free-will offering
made by the members of the Ameri-

The action is characterized as a

charity. The farmer members will
furnish the corn; the railway broth

engine and train crews free of

Soy Bean Makes Its Way North To
Colder Chimes

The soy bean, an Asiatic importa-
ton, popularity associated with the
South, is making it's way north, and,
according to reports received by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, is being well received
Most of the varieties first brought
to this country were from parts Of
Asia, whose climate corresponded
more nearly to the Southern States.
Within the last seven or eight years
the department has obtained about
800 introductions of soy beans from
Manchuria, Korea, and Japan, some
of which grew as far north as the
fifty-second parallel. The most
promising northern varieties are the
Black Eyebrow, the Mandarin, and
the Manchu, all native to latitude
of about 46 degrees, on account of
which they are adapted to our most
northern States. A large number
of samples of Black Eyebrow soy
bean were sent to northern farmers
last year and out of 551 reports re-
turned more than 400 were fav-
orable. Reports promise great
increase in acreage in Northern
States this year. Seedsmen are ly-
ing in supplies of these more north
ern varieties; but many farmers, il
unable to obtain northern seed, will
plant old varieties, such as Ito San.
From 80 to 95 per cent of soy beans
are raised for hay, silage, and pas
ture, although they are prolific seed
producers.

Dangers or tuberculosis shown In
TwO-Reel Picture

The danger to farm animals and
to human beings from the neglect
of animal tuberculosis is graphical
ly illustrated in new motion pic
ture film prepared and issued by
the United States Department OF
Agriculture under the title, "Out OF
the Shadows" The story has to do
with the happy family of Henry
Benton, a wholesome farmer, with
a large and handsome herd of dairy
cattle.
A Government inspector tracine
an epidemic, suggests test of the
Benton herd, and gives arguments
that induce Benton to consent to a
tuberculin test. The result of the
test shows an appalling condition,
and explains the declining health Of
Benton's beautiful young daughter,
who has. drunk the milk of a fav-
orite heifer. The cleanup of the
farm and Benton's requirement OF
a herd of cattle not affected with
tuberculosis are results of the in
spector's visit. The daughter, how
ever. is not restored to health until
after three years in sanitarium.
The picture is in two reels and
carries SO stropg human-interest
story together with its lesson that
1t is being widely sought through,
the loan system of the department.
and through purchase by State and
local organizations.

NORTH DAKOTA'S SANITY
North Dakota's Sanity.

The %nonpartisan league peril is a
thing of the past. Governor Preus of
Minnesota is convinced that the league
is so dead and buried beyond possibil-
ity of resurrection in North Dakota
that he has been back East appealing
to the life insurance presidents of the
United States to restore their lending
agencies in that state and resume the
purchase of North Dakota farm mort
cages, which they abandoned some
time ago when the league was breath
ing threatenings and slaughter
against all capital and capitalists.
Governor Preus believes that North
Dakota's recovery from her fit of in
sanity will be rapid and complete. AL
though some of the old nonpartisan
measures, are still in effect, the three
chiefs of the league government have
been recalled and the new governor
attorney general and commissioner of
labor can be trusted to restore the
state to Americanism. Governor Preus
has a kind word for the poor farmers.
In his address to the life insurance
men, he urged them to resume their
relations and activities in North Da-
kota Gin order that the misled but
honest, the m%istrusting but industri-
Gus tiller of the soil in North Dakota
may again enjoy the blessings to
which we are all entitled as citizens
of the greatest of all nations."-St.
