LIES GREATEST POWER.

" the power of an endless life
Our little life is rounded
with sleep"-thus Shake
speare puts it. Does this satisfy the
deeper cravings of mans nature? The
universal judgment is against it.
From the earliest records of time we
witness mans upward reach for some
thing his inmost soul cries out for.
"'Tis life whereof our souls are scant,
More life and fuller that we want"
life finds expression in the savage as
in the man of culture. 1t is his ruling
passion. We are not satisfied with the
philosophy of Omar:
'one thing is certain and the rest is lies.
The flower that once is blown. forever dies
This is the very antithesis of Ten
nyson's great conception:
'For though from out our bourne of time and
place
The flood may hear me far.

arises. Two conceptions of the ulti-

embodied in two striking and sugges-
tive statements. The first is from
the eloquent lips of the late Mr. Inger-

stood by the grave of his brother:

An examining physician for one of the

'TB' HARD TO Danish
Contagion Often Carried From
Flock to Flock by Small
Birds and Animals.

Heroic measures are required to
suppress tuberculosis when once 1t
has gained a foothold in the farm
flock. No treatment has yet been
devised that will cure birds affected
with an advanced stage Of the dis
ease. The most thorough method OF
eradication Is to slaughter the entire
flock when indications point to an
extensive outbreak. Fowls in good
flesh, showing no LESSONS or only
slight ones, may be used for food.
Those badly diseased and all the WIS.,
ceral organs of the others should be
destroyed.
The chicken houses, inclosed runs,
and all eating, drinking, and other
utensils should be thoroughly cleaned
and disinfected with a strong disin-
fectant solution. After the disinfec-
ton the premises should be kept free

try for year or more. In restocking,
obtain birds or eggs for Matching
from flocks which have shown no
signs of an infectious disease for
year or more.
When the breeding value Of the
fowls or other interests make 1t un-
desirable to dispose Of the entire
flock, tuberculosis may be controlled
to great extent by disposing of all
birds at the end Of the second laying
period. Younger birds should be dis.
posed of whenever they appear to be
abnormal.
tuberculosis is generally intro.
duced to the poultry yard by fowls
purchased from infected flocks. II
the disease exists in neighboring
flocks, the contagion may be carried
by small birds or animals passing
from one yard to another. A pecu.
liarity of tuberculosis of birds Is that
the liver and intestnes are nearly
always severely affected and that as
consequence the disease organisms
are very numerous in the intestinal
contents and are scattered with the
droppings everywhere that the fowls

diseased bird, therefore, may cause
the infection Of the greater part OF
flock in a few weeks. In the Same
way, when wild birds contract the
disease, the germs are carried and
deposited in all the yards which they
visit. Pigs, rats, and mice are espe-
cially liable to be infected with fowl
tuberculosis from eating the carcasses
of birds which have died, thus serv.
ing to keep up the contagion.

Elephants Increasing

Persons fond Of. pets will be de-
lighted to know that the size Of the
worlds elephant tribe Is increasing.
There was danger at one time that
these animals would be entirely wiped
but by the gunners from all over the
world who went to Africa for the pur-
pose Of getting shot at some real
big game, and incidentally the ivory
which they might gather up at the
same time.
A few years ago it is said that as
many as 10000 were killed annually,
says the Providence Journal. In some
localities the slaughter was checked
by laws protecting the elephant, but
what Is said to have been the greatest
boon to the big animal was the war,
which had the effect of keeping the
so-called sportsmen away from their
hauntS.
The worlds supply Of real ivory at
present Is said to be $50 tons annually.

STALLION BOARD PROSECUTES
VIII Not Permit License Law Of State
To Be Ignored.

To Be Ignored.
Violators of the Minnesota stallion
law are being checked up and prose-
cuted by the Stallion Registration
Board which has employed a special
representative to verify reported vio-
lations. Cases in several counties
have been investigated, and more
counties will be checked up before
the breeding season is over.
Violations are more numerous this
year as interest in horse breeding
has revived. Many horses which have
not been standing for public service
the last two or three years, whose
license has expired in the meantime,
are being pressed into service be-
cause of demand on the part OF mare
owners. The stallion owner eager
for business often neglects to get the
horse licensed.
Indications that interest in horse
breeding is reviving is shown by the
fact that since January l, 1924, 1873
new licenses have been issued by the
board. an increase of 81 per cent over
the corresponding period last year.
The number of transfers recorded
for the first five months Of 1924 Is
202, an increase of 30 per cent over
1923. At present there are more than
1900 stations and jacks properly
licensed to stand for public service in

PAYS TO KEEP
A SET OF BOOKS
How Good Farm Management
Keeps Down Costs and In
creaSeS Profits.

edited by the Agricultural Extension
Dept. University of Minnesota.
Farmers OF Steele county recently
had chance to study the results of
cost-accounting as applied to farm
ing. They received this chance on the
third tour Of the Steele county farm
statistical route when four farms
among the % on the route were Wis
tied
The statistical route was organized
by the division Of field crops and farm
management Of the Minnesota Expert
ment Station, and the United States
Department Of Agriculture, to COL
lect dependable information on farm
costs. farm profits, and farm organi-
cation.
The tour was in charge of E. T.
Helgeson, representing the federal
government and the University De-
partment of Agriculture as statistics
collector, and of G. A. Pond, and A. T..
Hoverstad Of the University Depart
nent Of Agriculture. The farms Wis
tied were those of Guy Adams, Lewis
Nelson, William F. Masche, and VIII.
liam D. Boynton.
At the farm of Mr.. Adams, a Hol-
stein dairy farm, 1t was found that an
annual profit of 1851 for each cow
was obtained. This was in excess Of
the average of 1929 for $40 cows
on 81 farms. Mr.. Adams cows
yielded an average of 255 pounds Of
butterfat as against 211 for the Fl
farms, and Mr.. Adams received for
his labor an average of Al cents an
hour.
Mr.. Adams returns from alfalfa
were 3.6 tons per acre, worth $64.67,
at total cost Of $1658, leaving as a
return for the land, $4S.09 per acre.
The average of Is farms reporting on
alfalfa showed a net return per acre
for the land Of $3342, the average
yield being 2.55 tons per acre.
At the farm of William D. Boyn.
ton, who specializes in dairying and
pork production, the net return Per
Cow was $4S.23 as against the average
of 1929. Mr.. Boynton produced 100
pounds of pork at an average cost of
1882 as against the average on tho
route Of $772
At the farm of Lewis Nelson, who
specializes in pork production, it
was ofund that the production cost
for 100 pounds of pork was $6.07 as
against $772, the average for 81
farms.
At the farm of William F. Masche,
special attention was given to results
with Loultry. With a flock of about
ITO hens a net return Of $24529 was
received. This was in excess of the
returns for 10 f1ocks on the route
which averaged $13477.
Interesting matters were brought
out as to the means by which such
exceptional showings were made, and
as to the arrangement Of farms in
order to reduce the farm labor and
increase efficiency.
In records distributed it was shown
that the average total net receipts
per farm on the route were S1,899, to
cover the owners labor and interest
A further interesting point brought
out was that since the establishment
of the statistical route five years ago,
the costs Of production have gone
down and the profits of the farms
have increased.

"Of the % farms only six were able
to show costs less than their selling

farm management section, University
Of Minnesota. "The six farmers Sc

Assuming that you are the average

fact is shown by the United States
Life Tables, 1920.
Your earning power win decrease
rapidly after 40. That period COM
monty called "the prime Of life" will
actually be an age Of decay.
This sounds sensational It is sem
sational. But it is true-and it is
something to which the wise man or
woman will give serious thought.
OF course, it is not natural, or right.
It is the direct result Of an artificial
mode Of life-of careless eating, sleep
lessness, and stimulated nerves. Nature
provides danger signal-fatigue-to
warn when the body needs rest. The
person who regularly deadens the
fatigue signal by the use Of drug is
overriding the warning Of nature.
That Is what coffee does. The
average cup Of coffee contains ~ to
3 grains Of the drug caffein-c1assified
as poison. This is dose Of caffein
Of the size often administered by ply
sicians in cases Of heart failure. It
is a powerful stimulant. It appears to
give new strength by deadening the
fatigue signal. Actually, this new
strength is robbed from the body's

labor hosts of this great state, and
it was during this period that labor
succeeded in passing 65 bills favor
able to their cause Among them was
the workmen's compensation, of
which John A. Vol was an outstand-
ing champion. No man fought harder
or more aggressively for this cause
than Voll During that fight the
politicians nicknamed him Honest

every respect. In his quiet and un-

workers of Ohio.
Born and raised in GAINESVILLE, Voll
was typical progressive Buckeye
He entered the ranks of labor in
modest way, worked himself up to the
most honored position in the gift of
the workers of this state, and there
were none who were so beloved and
