Agriculture Is now a complex
industry and farming is regarded
as a commercial enterprise" he
said. "The farmer has much more
responsibility in directing labor,
handling money, and marketing
products than he used to have. The
efficient modern farmer is la bus
mess man, and American agricul-
ture has evolved from self-suf-
ficient family enterprise to a bust
ness enterprise which carries the
commercial spirit in far greater
degree than did the agriculture of
the earlier days"
Dean Coffey took an optimistic
view of the situation, asserting
that the standard of living is high
er in the country than it once
was, and that the social life of
the people is improving. "The
farmer of today is mingling with
the town and city folks and work
ing with them on common enter
prises as never BEFORE" he said.
"The creature comforts which in
dustry has brought the city people
are also being distributed to
country people,"

Became Great Industry

The metal workers industry, in
PRODUCED in Colonial times, devel-
oped to such an extent that as early
as 1912 it was said that the silver
ware manufactured in America
was sufficient to supply the de-
mand. Throughout the last cen
fury the industry has continued to
develop. For a time American
craftsmen depended largely on
France for designs and patterns, but
In recent years there has been a
notable advance in the individual
ity of our national art. The work
of designing in precious metals has
often been handed down from IA
Their to son, remaining in the same
family for generations.

High Offices; No Salaries

Many high offices in England are
filed by men who receive no sal
aries; among which is that of the
prime minister. The prime minis
ter, however, usually accepts some
other post such as first lord Of the
treasury, which has a salary Of
$4,000 a year. Justices Of the
peace, guardians Of the poor and
district councillors give their serv-
ices free. The lord mayor of Lon
don, though he receives salary Of
$4,000 year, cannot hope to es-
cape with paying out less than
$125,OO0 a year in the fulillment Of
his Office, so that it really costs
him $4,000 a year to hold the
Office,

Goldfish Aid Light Plant

Now the goldfish enters the
ranks Of mans dumb servants.
Spray ponds, where water is cooled
at small Transforming stations
along electric transmission lines,
are being kept free from clogging
moss by stocking them with the
sparkling fish, says the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. An interest
ing balance in numbers and food
was maintained at one pond. When
the moss was exhausted, some Of
the goldfish turned cannibals and
devoured the others. The surviv-
ors kept the vegetable growth from
accommodating around the nozzles.

Do Not Force Plants

If a plant has been growing
thriftily for some time and then
begins to go back, it probably
needs a rest, and no amount Of
forcing will do any permanent
good. It will, says Nature Maya
zine Of Washington, do a definite
harm. During the resting period, a
plant is better if left entirely alone
in a dry, cool cellar. 1t will Of its
own accord, and without any at
tention of any kind, begin to put
out new green shoots. When these
new shoots show themselves the
plant should be given a thorough
watering, a reporting If necessary,
and brought up into its place in the
sun. After it is growing well 1t
may be given fertilizer.

Garnbrel Roofs Differ

The gambrel roof is a form of
gable roof with two different
pitches. Its distinguishing charac-
teristic Is the shoulder, and the
pitch from the ridge down to shout
der and from shoulder down to

types. A marked difference, for ex-

French Driven to Reuolt

The French revolution was main
ly the result Of the oppression Of
the French people, who rose in re-
volt against the extravaganza and
tyranny Of the kings and mobiles.
In addition they had no adequate
representation in the legislature.
The taxes were heavy and in TIT
there were as many as 1,250,0O0
beggars in France. Alarmed by
the increasing signs Of unrest in
the country, the king and some Of
the mobiles began to gather the
army near Paris. This so enraged
the people of Paris that they
stormed the Bastile on July IA,
1889. This is regarded as the be-
ginning Of the revolution.

Wooden Cow Succeeds
Wooden Horse of Troy

The wooden horse which the
Greeks fashioned and used in the
destruction of Troy, and the wood
en- cow which was devised by ami
NAL husbandry men of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota cannot well be
compared. If they could be, the
result would be all in favor of
the wooden bovine because she has
a constructive motive for being.
The woodencow has been sub
stitutei with great success at Uni
versity Farm for the nurse cows
which are used sometimes to sup
plement the milk of the lawful
dams in the raising of calves.
Nurse cows are Objectionable to
many because they injure the ap-
pearance of a purebred beef herd
and sometimes endanger the health
of the herd.
The nurse COW has been ban
ished from University Farm by a
selffeeder system of raising pure
bred beef calves. The self-feeder
has five compartments in which five
concentrate feeds-cracked corn,
coarsely ground barley, ground or
rolled oats, wheat bran, and pea
size linseed meal-,are fed sep
arately, with each calf at liberty to
select its own ration. This feed
er is known as the wooden Nurse
Cow"
Prolonged use at University
Farm has demonstrated the prac-
ticaibility of this wooden cow.
When the calves are two or three
weeks old they are placed togeth-
er in stalls or pens whtre they
have access at all times to the self
feeder and soon learn to balance
their own rations. The calf pen
is equipped with Ia small hay rack
which contains a supply of the best
clover or alfalfa hay available.
Boxes of salt and bonemeal, and
clean, fresh water are accessible
at all times. The calves are led
to their dams to nurse morning and
evening.
"The wooden nurse COW makes
the maintenance of a string of
nurse cows unnecessary in our
herd" says H. w. Vaughan of the
animal hubsandry department at
University Farm. cit lis efficient,
economical, a labor-saver, and if
regularly supplied with feed it
never goes dry. During feeding
trials of 140 days IL calves raised
on the wooden nurse COW made an
average daily gain of 1913 pounds
per head. They carried more flesh
at the close of the trial than is or
dinarily shown by calves of the
same age in purebred herds"

Combining MeIodies

Counterpart is the art Of COM
bining melodies according to the
laws of harmony. Composers of
anything more elaborate than a
song must have a knowledge of
counterpart, and all good song
composers possess such knowledge.
There is no slow" In music for
more than one voice; unless it has
the spirit Of counterpart, it is just
mass Of meaningless chords.

CRUISERS ARE
HARD PROBLEM
Delegates to Geneva Confer
ence Uncertain How to Re-
sumo Naval Tasks

Geneva, July 15.-tP)-There was
considerable uncertainty today among
delegates TO the naval conference as
to how to resume the tasks before
them, after the frank airing Of diff
ficulties in which the chiefs in
dulged at yesterdays picturesque but
unfruitful plenary session.
Pcssimists refuse to be shaken
from the belief that the session
marked the beginning of the end OF
the conference. while the optimistic
were certain that all hope of an
agreement had not been lost.
Need Time To Think
There was no mistaking the earn
estness Of the delegates desire ia
effect settlement but whether they
would be able to overcome the exist
ing divcrgenccs, was a question on
which authoritative observers would
not commit thmselves. Nevertheless
the majority opinion seemingly
vcered to the belief that an answer
to the cruiser problem must be
found soon or the conference would
have to admit defeat.
The excitement of the past few
days seems to have worried all tho
plcnipotentiaries. They appear to
ask nothing better than an opportun'
ity for rest and for reflection on the
means of saving the situation.

When air. mail service is estab-
