ion gives.
The Cooperative Divisions work
is carried on through a central CO.
operative bank in Washington and
twelve regional banks located in
the Federal Land Bank districts of
the United States. Though these
banks will assist business enterpris-
es, it is not their aim to completed
ly finance, own, or operate the CO.
operatives they serve. While every
loan will be conditioned by essential
requirements, the Federal gover1i-
ment will not attempt to dictate, or
be directly responsible for the sue
cess or failure of any cooperative.
While the administrators of the
banks for cooperatives will be en-
tirely sympathetic with the devel-
opment of cooperative institutions
and will offer every legitimate SER
vice consistent with credit agency,
they will be conservative; they viii
insist upon sound business opera
tions; and they will be firm in their
desire to protect the best interests
OF the Federal funds for which they
are responsible.
Cooperatives obtaining loans will
be required to submit budgets show

A LEADER SPEAKS OUT

In the past officers of some corporations were
inclined to issue overoptimistc predictions to fu
ture earnings of their companies, with the result that
shareholders sometimes nsled. But a healthy
change has the business horizon, accord
ing to financial writer, and announcements of lead
ing executives generally give their stockholders the
whole truth.
He cites an example in the recent dividend meet
ing of the John r. Thompson company with its ma
tionwde organization of 116 in 16 cities
The regular dividend declared, though not earn
ed the frank public statement of President John
r. Thompson, Jr., shows leadership that might well
be emulated by all corporation heads. -
During these trying times" he said, "the share
holders, and particularly the small shareholder,
should be given every consideration For that
wish to state frankly that this dividend is being
paid out of earned surplus accumulated during prior
years. thus permitting stockholders to share in lean
periods, the benefits accruing in good times"
This company, informant tells us, is 43 years
and its dividends have continued unbroken since

to the printers the old New York Tribune.

Belshazzar had this writing the wall he
would have been terrified than he was" Later,

FISHY CHURCH FOLKS

Down in Butler county, Alabama, according to
the Greenvile Advocate, is a colored preacher who
has keen insight into human nature particularly as
applied to sizing up the members Of his flock. In
recent sermon he likened various types Of church
members to certain species of fish, somewhat fol-
lows: s.. ,--
from one church to another. Others were Gkened
to the sucker-easy to catch but quick to spoil Then
he mentioned the founder, which can see only one
wayne sees the faults of thepreacher but
his own. Another type compared with the cat
fish, which hides the bottom Of the creek until a
freshet arouses him-the church member who warns
up when revival is going on, but lies dormant at
other times. Another type was Nkened to the eel-a
slippery, slick fellow hard to handle. And so on.
While the good colored brothers sermon was a
bit droN, it included observations which might ap-
propriately be applied, not only to the pecuarties
of church members, but to those of humanity
whole. Most of rather t1shy in respects.

NEVER WORRIES ABOUT
BRONCHITIS-NOW!

Mr.. Clifford G. Morrison, Rainy
River, Ont, has abundant reason
to bless the day he heard of
BUCKLEY'S MIXTURE. At the
first sign of an attack he nips it in
the bud with BUCKLEY'S MIX
TURE. He says: my experience
with this wonderful medicine
makes me always keep bottle in
tine medicine chest never worry
about bronchitis now"
Mr.. Morrison's experience may
be yours. If you are lying awake
nights, racked to pieces with cough
ing, choked up until you can hardly
breathe, just try BUCKLEY'S MIX
TTRE triple strength). You will
be astounded how quickly the
cough win stop, how your breath
ing will instantly become easier.
There's nothing like Buckleys for
quick, sure, safe relief. It acts like
"a f1ash-A single sip proves it. 45c
and 85c at o. w. Dowswells and all
good druggists guaranteed.

ed or served by people who are
suffering from them.
Experimental evidence to prove
it is now available, according to a
bulletin issued by the Public Health
Education Committee of the Min
nesota State Medical Association
to-day.
Cooks and food handlers are es-
pecially warned on the strength Of
it to avoid communicating the food
they serve.
We have suspected that colds
might be transmitted by food, but
convincing experimental proof Is
now at hand proving this mode of
Infection" says this bulletin.
Recently, however, fifteen CHM
panzees who had been free from
colds for is days and served en-
tirely by attendants who were
known to be free from any respira-
tory infections, were given food
that was prepared by a person who
was suffering from a common cold.
The food was brought to the apes
by another attendant who was free
from a cold himself and had been
in no contact with the cold sufferer.
within 48 hours of the first
meals served that way, five of the
apes developed typical symptoms of
respiratory infection such as nasal
discharge and obstruction, mouth
breathing and slight fever. Two
developed moderate coughs.
Undoubtedly the source of many
and otherwise unexplained colds
among human beings can be traced
to food prepared or served by some
body with a cold"
Wherever it is practicable, the
physicians advise a gauze mask to
cover nose and mouth, but more
important is the careful washing of
hands whenever a cook or food
handler must continue his duties
while he is suffering from respira-
tory infection. Hands must be
washed each time after contact
with the secretion of nose and
mouth as after blowing of nose and
covering nose or mouth during
|sneezing or coughing. Hands can
not be washed unless there are

This is the Season for Sausage
Making

Sausage that will keep and be of
good quality must be made from a
mixture of fresh and cured meat,
according to p. A. Anderson, meat
specialist, animal husbandry divis-
ion, University Farm. Fresh meat
Is meat which is thoroughly cooled
and has been hanging for at least
a week. To cure meat, apply to
each 100 pounds, s pounds of salt
and one+half pound Of sugar. These
should be thoroughly mixed with
the meat, which lis then packed in
a jar or barrel, to exclude as much
air as possible. Tongues, hearts,
chucks, and Shiny trimmings should
be washed, before curing.
The best quality of pork sausage
is made from clean pork trimmings
and little water, although 40
pounds Of pork and 10 OF beef make
a very good mixture, especially if
seasoned as follows: lb. salt, OF.
pepper, 5 OF. sage, and 5 lbs. water.
To this formula may be added
bread, boiled potatoes, or boiled
rice, but these will make the sau-
sage hard to keep because they
sour quickly.
The meat is first ground through
the coarse plate then spread out on
a table and seasoned, and after that
it is ground through the fine plate.
Then the water is added and the
meat is mixed as bread dough is,
by pushing the first violently thru
the mass. When the water has
been completely absorbed after per-
haps 30 minutes of fast work, the
meat will be sticky and not crumb-
ly. This sausage may be put into
castings or used in bulk. If 1t is
stuffed into either pig or sheep cas-
ings, it is called link sausage. If
the sausage is left in bulk, pack
very tightly in fruit jars and put
away in cool, dark place. Before
frying the bulk pork sausage mix
about four eggs thoroughly with
each three pounds of meat. When
frying never stick a fork into the
meat but turn it over or take it out
with a knife or spoon. A hole in
the casing means the loss of a great
deal Of the flavor because the
juices escape. Always cook pork
OF any kind until it is thoroughly
done to kill trichina and toher par
asites injurious to man.

Lamb Feeders Hear More About
ROughageS

ROughages
Results show that lambs receiv-
ing alfalfa hay and shelled corn
made twice the gains made by
lambs receiving shelled corn and
prairie hay" said p. S. Jordan,
animal husbandman, at the recent
Lamb Feeders day at the West
Central School and Station, Nor
ris.
"The alfalfa fed. lambs needed
considerably less feed per pound Of
grain and were appraised at a high
er price because of their better fin
ish. Sweet clover hay proved prac-
tically the equal of alfalfa hay. No
advantage was gained by cutting or
grinding the sweet clover hay. Cut
corn slower, because of its low cost
of gains per 100 pounds being SO
cents less than for alfalfa. The
greater gain with alfalfa offset the
cheaper gain with corn slower, so
that the margin above feed was
about alike in both"
w. III. Peters, chief in animal
husbandry at University Farm,
spoke on Avoiding Death Losses in
Fattening Lambs" He suggested
that prevention is better than cure
and warned against overlooking,
particularly in periods of change
from cold to warmer weather.
p. e. Miller, superintendent of
the West Central school, suggested
that, while an undue expansion of
lamb feeding was probably unwise,
present indications are that lamb
prices will show a favorable posi-
ton compared with other forms of
livestock, for the immediate future
at least.

suits in lamb feeding at the West
Central station may be had by writ
ing to Professor p. s. Jordan at
