Geese VIII Bring Very
GoOd-Margin of Profit

"One who has not had the pleas
ure to watch little gosling pop out
Of the shell and see II grow 10 ma
turity would be surprised TO know
in how short a time it Is done. At
first It is little downy fellow,
weighing not over four ounces; a
round, fluffy little ball OF wool. The
wing feathers and breast feathers
start TO grow first. They will con-
tinue to have a downy appearance
until they become two or three
months cid and then the feathers
will begin TO replace the down Dur
ing their growth they viii generally
average an additional pound for each
month. From a commercial stand
point the geese will bring a very good
margin of profit, for the cost OF feed
ing them is very small where they can
range upon vegetation The demand
at the markets for these fowls dur
ing the holidays is much greater than
the supply, and the prices al which
this product sells at this period should
be a good inducement TO those who
have the facilities 10 raise mora

Pays to Market Spring
Cockerels at Two Pounds

With the present price Of feeds
says the Ohio Agricultural college.
farmers cannot afford to keep their
spring-hatched cockerels until the
holiday season to sell them. After a
growing cockerel reaches III to z
pounds 1t is an inefficient consumer
OF feed for meat production
The price Of cockerels IS always
higher during the spring and summer
months than in the fall when many
farmers dispose Of their surplus
cocxerels- The slump In price Is due
to two causes: "a The large size
cockerel Is less desirable on the table.
~ The cockerel must compete on the
market with the surplus hens, with 4
resulting slump In price.
In case the eockereIs are kept until
fall they should be crate fattened,
as they viii then bring a premium on
the market. The birds should be con-
fined in small coop or fattening bat
terry and fed twice a day on the fol-
lowing ration: 10 pounds Of corn meal,

dlings and 10 pounds Of wheat bran
This should be mixed with sufficient

Green Feed Is Valuable
for Its Mineral Matter

Green feed is valuable. not only for
its succulence, which makes it palat-
able TO poultry. but also because IL
contains mineral matter. including nu-
tritiye constituents, necessary TO sus-
tain life, promote growth, and assure
reproduction. Foremost among these
constituents are the vitsmines. the alb
sence OF which from any ration, wheth-
er for humans, animals or birds, VIII
ultimately prove fatal
Therefore il behOOveS every poultry
keeper, whether backyarder, specialist,
or farmer, TO make provision for an
ample supply Of green feed in some
form, and in view OF the shortness Of
our growing season. and the late
spring experienced this year, no time
should be lost.

WHAT COMPETITION
MEANS

Here is a sample of industrial and
commercial news items:
Santiago, Chile.@German merchan-
disc which arrived at Valparaiso by
the German steamer Muria on May 1,
has reached Santiago and is selling
% per cent cheaper than similar
American commodities. The mer-
chandise includes textiles, dyes, cleo
trical material, machinery, crockery,
spd toys"
~fhat little item presents something
of interest for every American. 1t
means that Germany is undertaking
US in the markets of the world. We
aE told that this is due to the higher
costs of production in the United
States than in Germany. In Germany
they can manufacture the articles
enumerated for less than we can.
Germany is favored at the present
time by a favorable rate of exchange
and the German workmen are so
eager to work that they are not
standing in high wages mol on short
hours. They want to come back and
they are determined to do so. 1t is
going to make fierce competition and
the national hatreds upon which we
have counted have been already for

buy where they can do so the cheap

But if American manufacturers
can not sell some of their goods in
foreign markets we will nave stagna-
ton at home. We must produce a

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Sack Color and
Lustre to Hair

That beautiful, ever shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, Just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hum
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe inn
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents at a small cost, all ready for use.
1t is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound. This can always be de-
pended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because il
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge Dr. soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another applica-
ton it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous.

surplus to keep things going. The
lea must somehow learn to make
more per hour of wages paid for la
bor-this a be done by decreased
wages or by increased production per
hour and per man. We would all
rather see it done in the latter way
and we believe it can be done in that
way, leaving the American working
man with a reasonable income to
support his family.
But the problem is not as easy as
it looks in words. We in America
must get down to business. We can
not continue to see how little we can
do for how much. If we do that we
shall go from bad to worse and not
from good to better. Mr.. Gompers
said recently that the industry that
could not pay good wages should not
exist. We submit to him, from the
evidence in the news items quoted
above that it will be easy enough
to have American industries cease to
exist-and then what? Mr.. Gompers
has never been compelled to struggle
with the problem of selling goods
abroad in compitition with such ma
tions as Germany and Japan. He has
drawn his $4,000 or more a year
telling other men how to do it. But
doing it ones self is a different story.

ALL IN THE MAN

"a few days ago a nan who works
in the kitchen of one of the univer-
sity Fraternity houses was elected
to Phi Beta Kappa, the great honor
airy scholastic fraternity" says the
Daily Iowan, student daily at the
University of Iowa, in a current edi-
torial.
perhaps he has not been able to
cultivate the social graces a. [.
men whom he serves, but who is to
say that his time as a student was
wasted? Let boys Of lank purse
come to college with sleeves rolled
up. There is a long line of men
famous in the history of the world
who went about classrooms in the
seediest of coats"
The Daily Iowan takes issue in its
editorial with the attitude taken by
Thomas A. Clark, dean of men at
the University of Illinois, who, bas-
ing his judgment on long experience,
concludes that the mar who works
his way through a university is vast
ing valuable time because only the
exceptional student can do justice to
both studies and labor and because
the student who works is losing
chances for recreation in play, read
ing and cultivation of the social
graces.
"The man who works has certain
distinct advantages" maintains the
Daily Iowan. "He is, by his limited
funds, exempt from temptation to in
dulge in expensive, time-filling,
profitlesS recreation; he is forced to
| take stock of his resources and under
pressure of circumstances to come to
the golden discovery of his own
capacity for work; and in the grind
of his routine he appreciates the edu-
cation which it takes that grind to
get.
"a large number of men could not
go TO college at all if they did not
work, and it is to be hoped that boys
in high schools and out of them who
contemplate college training and are
not in plentiful finances will not be
frightened" says the editorial.
The Iowan and the Dean are both
right They are seeing the shield
from different angles. That is all.
There are distinct advantages for
the student who works his way par
TALLY or wholly. There are distinct
advantages for the other student who
may create an obligation to be paid
after his preparation is over and he
has settled into the harness.
It doesn't matter greatly how the
man gets his training so long as he
gets it and makes the best use of it
after it has been secured.
After all has been said and the
discussion carried to the last decima'
place, it all depends on the man him.

Every man is a road-maker He builds the road over
which he himself is to travel. If he is careless and
tnsincere his road Will be poorly made and he viii find
himself stalled in the soft mud of indifference. II he
be sincere and diIigent he will make a highway over
which he can travel far.
The Ancient Romans built, with much labor, the fam
GUS Appian Way. To do this they laid end to end great,
heavy, fat stones. Time shifted the great blocks of
the Appian Way; they were not laid upon a strong
bed Of little stones.
Many centuries later q Scotchman by the name of
hcAdam found a better way to build an enduring road.
McAdam accepted for his road only very little stones
stones that would slip between his thumb and first fin
ger. The little stones could shift, they could settle and
as they shifted and settled the "macadsm" road became
frmer and better.
The life oad-maker who makes surest of his future
lays his road bed In daily deeds Of good rather than by
seeking only to lay down the large blocks of ambitious
performance.
The man who gets more out Of life and he who gives
most to life is the man who sees the good In little
things,-who learns how to use little things,-who neg

lects or dsspises no detail and who builds his life road
constantly and insistently with little deeds well done.
Measure the deeds Of any great man and you will find
his achievements have grown out OF an experience Of
doing the small things with patience and painstaking
fidelity.
The man Of moral courage does not reach his moral
power by one full leap; it Is a matter Of rOad-making;
he acquires his moral strength step by step.
The architect who conceives the great cathedral or
the monumental tower has first learned to use the
Tsquare and the sweep; he has learned the mathemat-
ical laws that govern the stress and distribution or
weight; he has built his road step by step and over It
be has reached the thing Of strength and beauty.
The road that is without a firm foundation is not the
road Of an enduring civilization Soft clay carries no
commerce. The road Of least resistance is the road
that retards progress,-that holds back the traveller
who would use 1t. Each day we lay the foundation for
the road we are to travel tomorrow.
LIES prizes are not gifts; they are goals they must
be won; we must build the road over which we are to
pass TO reach them.
