VEST POCKET ESSAY ON
KNEES

The editor of a certain daily
newspaper opines that nothing as
ugly as knee can be very
naughty" This ink singer, for
once, may be right, but it must be
admitted that while pigs knuckle
may not be naughty it is awfully
especially when cooked with
responsibility in a kraut barrel. 1t
is undoubtedly true that Dame
Nature did not anticipate roll
tops" when she decided on the
style of architecture for knees.
However, since the advent of this
new fad in stockings, it is apparent
to casual observer that if the
finger prints of all knees were
taken, no two pairs would be found
alike. In fact, it is evident that in
but few cases would the pair ex-
hibited by any one owner prove to be
mates. In many instances the use
of some effective anti-knock device
appears to be indicated, while in
strangers, for they never meet. To
the man who has reached the age
where he begins to consider reform
ing, it appears that the chief func-
ton of knees is to harbor the pangs
of rheumatism.
In the swine world, one will find
symmetry of knees which the
human race cannot boast OF, yet its,
matrons and fiappers do not employ
the Scottish system of ventilation.
In fact, propriety forbids that they
sport 'em bare. While on this sub
ject we must realize that there will
be scarcity of pig knuckles this
fall. Not only is there shortage
parts of the country indicate that
hog cholera is taking it's annual
toll. While Maryland has exper-
fenced but little of the disease this
year, the time is fast approaching
when swine raisers must be on the
alert to protect their hogs from its
ravages. If they will only remem-
her that infected pork in garbage,
table scraps, kitchen swill, ETC., and
the introduction of infected hogs are
responsible for starting practically
all primary, or new outbreaks of
cholera in Maryland, the necessary
precautions will be plain.

RESULTS PROVE
VALUE OF GRAIN
WITH PASTURE

Strangely enough, most dairymen
never stop to think that in some
respects dairy cow is good deal
like human being. At any rate,
she needs enough to eat in good,
nourishing feed, if she is to con-
tinue to do days work every day.
In spite of this fact, most COW
owners thoughtlessly turn their
herds out to pasture as soon as the
grass comes. up thick and green,
cutting down or cutting out the
grain ration without any thought
to the amount of real nourishment
their cows are going to get.
Scientific studies of grass Lave
shown that while it contains all the
elements necessary to maintaining
health and condition these are not
present in large quantity Grass
at it's best Is over half water, and
a COW has to eat an enormous
quantity of pasture daily to get the
feed she needs.
1t is true that fresh spring grass
is good tonic. 1t IS green, juicy
and palatable. Cows like it. It
tones them up, and fer a while will
actually stimulate milk production.
But grass under these conditions
should be used more as tonic than
as feed. No human being would
stop eating meat, potatoes and veg
etables simply because he was TAX
ing spring tonic to tone up his
cucfono Vaf fnn Y,,onv ha-
lieve their cows do not need grain
simply because they have grass to
Craze upon.
Actual tests have showed the eff
fects of pasture feeding as COM
pared with the use of grain, par
ticularly through the spring and
early summer. A summary of cow,
testing association reports by E. A
Hanson, of Minnesota, shows that
1881 cows receiving no grain on
pasture averaged 22S lbs of butter
fat per year at feed cost of
$41.S7. Compared with this, 572
cows receiving grain while on pas
ture averaged 296 lbs. of butterfat
per year at a total feed cost Of
s49.35.
Thus, $748 additional, spent for
feed during the pasture season,
brought an added return of 6S lbs.
of butterfat from each one. At 40c
per lb. fat was worth $27.20-or q
profit of $19.72 over the added cost
of the feed.
All dairymen should use pasture,
but they should use it intelligently
and should use it with grain. The
profit figures shown above proba-
bly, could be realized by any COW
owner who followed the best feed
ing practice at this time.

strated in the materially greater num-
Der of sheep shorn daily, the better
market value Of the wool, the fewer
MANNED sheep, and not least i'm
portant, the additional so to 1870
more wool obtained with the machine
over and above the amount of wool
secured with the hand blades. AS a
consequence, the machine resolves
itself into a small investment with
certain and big returns.
Steadily, the science Of wool-nar-
keting in South Africa is fast APP
preaching the scientific efficiency Of
the Australian marketing plan, which
is, without doubt, the most practical
and efficient in existence today.
Considering that the four provinces,
Natal, Transvaal, Orange Free State,
and Cape Province, which comprise
the Union of South Africa, have
10000 square miles less of territory
than Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Montana and Wyoming combined. it
is surprising to note that they contain
two and one half times as many sheep
as our i've. states named.
This alone, makes that country a
strong contender. for future leader
ship in the wool industry. It is inter
bulk of foreign progressiveness is due
to American initiative, American i'm
plements, and machinery and Ameri-
can ingenuity. The South African
wool industry holds true to this in
that American methods and Ameri-
can machinery are destined to take a
large and important place in the eco
nomio progress of the far distant
Union of South Africa,
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1926-07-02

The Union of South Africa is rightly
classed among the great wool pro-
ducing countries Of the world. Gil
matte conditions there are admirably
adapted to the breeding and raising of
the Merino type Of sheep with a
strong, staple wool.
A large part of this country is suit
able only for the raising of sheep,
and the government is making pro-
gressive and intelligent efforts to i'm
prove both the sheep and the manner
of preparing the wool for market.
Jackals being a strong menace In
South Africa, longtime government
loans are extended to sheep owners
for the erection of jaekal-preof fenc-
ing. Government sheep experts are
districts so that their services and
advice may be assured at a nominal
fee.
The mutton sheep of South Africa
is the fat-tailed black headed Cape
non-wooled sheep. As. no cross
breeding for mutton lambs Is done,
the woods are purely Merino in char
acter.
Progress in this South African in
dustry is particularly noticeable in
the harvesting. Despite the fact that
Kaffir labor can be secured at the
equivalent Of $3.50 American, per
month, there is trend towards the
modern shearing machine as against
the age-old hand blades, which. even
in America, have not been discarded
by many otherwise entirely progress
sive wool raisers.
A study Of this fact, however, read
lily reveals the reason for it. While
there is a first cost for the machine,
the unskilled black adapts himself to
it's use much more readily than to
the hand blades, and soon does re-
markedly smooth job of shearing with
the machine.

chine, its economi value Is demon

toners make 1t rule always to DING
high-pressure statesmen to the bank 10
be interrogated regarding their pro
motions. This will break up sales
nine times out of ten, for highpres-
sure statesmen invariably avoid being
questioned too closely by bankers
who know investments.
Rules to Follow
Our bankers should urge this In
estment slogan: Investigate before
you invest. Consult your banker first, :"
and so inde1ibly impress it on the
minds Of their depositors that they
viii always be guided by their bank
er's advice in making investments.
Salient points which should, be kept
before the investing depositor are:
1) There are three cardinal points
to all good investments, namely safety
of principal, certainty of income and
STABILITY.
(2) Safety of principal is more i'm
portant than high yield; the promise
of big returns is usually sign Of a
risky Sp0CulaIlOH.
(S) 1t is like taking leap in the
dark to invest in promotions which
are an unknown quantity and for this
reason thorough investigation
should always be made.
ca 1t is morally wrong, If not
criminally so, for any person to invest
in any proposition he feels is skin
game, or which is tainted by trickery
or fraud or opens the way for a fav-
ored few to 'get in on the ground
floor" clean up and get out from under
before the scheme collapses. Usually
the depositor finds he is not in on
the ground floor, there is no chance
for him to clean up before the scheme
collapses and so he loses all that he
has invested.
90 If promotion is as good as
claimed, it would not be necessary for
high pressure statesmen to resort to all
sorts of questionable methods, it
would not be necessary to rush vic
sim off his feet and sign him up before
he could interview his banker, but he
could be given time to consult others
before investing.
(6) The only reason high-pressure

for the growth and maintenance of

work, play and warmth.
milk helps repair the wear and
tear of the body. 1t Is al good as
meat for. building muscle. Moreover,
it is cheaper. A quart of milk will
supply as much protein as seven
ounces of sirloin steak or four large
eggs. Milk, particularly evaporated
milk, which has twice the mineral con-
tent of Market milk. is one of the best
and cheapest sources of lime, which
is form of calcium. Infants and
growing children need lime to build
bones and teeth. 1t Is just as neces-
sary for adults to keep their bones In
good condition. One quart Of milk, or
one pint of evaporated milk, furnishes
as much calcium as ten large oranges,
thirty-two eggs or twenty pounds of
beef Milk also Is valuable source
of phosphorus and supplies a GER
tain amount of iron.
"By ssome authorities milk Is said
to be an aid In longevity. DR.. Herman
Bundesen, health commissioner for
Chicago, gives his prescription for
long life as follows: Drink one quart
of milk day and mix with one hour
of sunshine. Repeat ad infinitum.

pirates go TO those who are 1nexper1-
enced in finance for funds is because
they can palm off on them so-called in
vestments which in the eyes of men OF
experience are valueless.
4(7) The glib-talking promoter is
not a true friend of the savings de-
positor but is a wolf in Sleeps cloth
ing, he will resort to any kind OF
trickery to exchange a certificate OF
stock for the depositor's cash, his gilt
tering promises are fictitious and ne
is planning how he can entrap his vic
tins and relieve them Of their savings
and not how he can make good divi-
dends for them.
(S) For every Oil well that pays
dividends there are many dry holes
and abandoned drilling rigs, and for
every profitable mine there are many
abandoned shafts, and for every sue
cessful promotion there are thou
sand failures, and because Of these
facts the savings depositor's chance Of
winning is too small to justify the
great risk involved
(9) Savers should steer clear OF
stock, shares or units in world-revolu-
tionizing inventions which are peddled
in front of empty stores or sold from
house to house or through the mails.
10) Every novice investor should
remember that, as in all lines of bust
ness, black sheep have invaded the in
vestment field. They must be Stunned,
while investment firms and statesmen
of responsibility and integrity should
be supported.
Let our banks unite in a movement
designed to protect the depositor
against the schemes of the wildcat
promoter-in a movement that will
save our savings depositors from de-
spair and from poverty as result OF
khaving lost all-in a movement that
will turn into legitimate investment
channels the millions of dollars which
are now wasted on fraudulent schemes
CT one kind or another. The best
service bank can render novice in
weston is to keep him from making
poor investments by helping him to
make good ones.
