The plan of pictures is ideal; many of the great golden truths, the corner stones of Christianity form both the Old and New Testament, are put in beautiful pictures, hence the eye assists the mind to indelibly impress upon the heart. Every book that will help upon the memories of the young the truths of the best book, ought to be pitted by all; and we believe that turning over the page of this volume will lead many of the youth and middle age to treasure up in their hearts any a precious Bible text. The young of our day know less about the Bible than did their fathers. Many, even graduates from our high schools and academies, are unable to say whether Jude is found in the Old or the New Testament. These striking passages and beautiful parables, put in the fascinating garb of artistic pictures puzzles, will constrain the youth to solve them, and hence he must consult the Bible and unconsciously become familiar with many beautiful passages passages and at the same time learn where to find any book of the Bible. I write this with the hope to stimulate our young friends to read and love the best of all books—the Bible. The best children in the world have been those who loved this book more than any other, and some of the best men and women who have ever lived were those who, when they were quite young and not able to speak properly used to talk about it by day after the ano even dream of it by night.

CE HOSPITAL TO ECLIFSE THE SPLENDID SAIN TARIUM AT TUSKL- GEE, ALA. DURHAM N. C. — To perpetuate the spirit and service character of the typical Negro of slave days, James B. and Benjamin N. Duke, millionaire tobacco manufacturers of New York. Durham, have plunged $40,000 toward the erection of the centric colored hospital in the southern states. George W. Worts and John Hill, Durham solicitor, argument of $6,000. The building when built equipped, will represent an expenditure of $50,000. The deed for the four-acre site was made today the D. rhm Lcarn and Trust Compan, seling the plat for $8 500. The location is just one hundred yards from the corporate limits of the city on the Fayet eville street, the lot being formerly the home of the late A. H Stokes, one of the builders of Durham. Overtowering oaks, beautiful drives and grounds well sodded to grass are environments for an ideal hospital. The structure will be two story and fireproof, with accommodation for sixty beds. Dr A M Moore of the Lincoln hospitie stated today that it would outdistance the chief hospital of the colored face in the South—the Tuskegee. The operating and surgical departments will be modern in pointments. The Duke's have contributed since 1901 $25 000 toward the enlargement of the present modest inadequate Negro hospital They were the chief contributors to its its cost of erection Dignam tells us "There are many risks in business.

Never be fearful of doing more than is required of you. If you wait for more pay before you do more work the millennium will probably find you on the same old job. Remember that an agitator never yet filled a pay envelope, although he has helped to keep many a one unfiled. It takes three forces to run a business or factory—labor, capital and executive management. Men who betray their country are not the only traitors. There are also men who betray their employers, their families and their friends. Safety first—Industrial patriotism always. Industry is of the people, by the people, for the people. Let us all get together. The average reformer is only opposed to capital so long as the other fellow has it. Let him get a slice of the melon he condemned and his radicalism will be cured for all times. Success In Industry: Of 260,000 corporations in the United States engaged in manufacturing and mercantile business over 100,000, according to the Federal Trade Commission, are merely existing. They do not earn a penny of profit. The 22,000 failures annually in the United States show that businesses cannot run along at a loss indefinitely. Business success depends on good management; efficient loyal workers, from the head of the firm down to the messengers; and freedom from outside interference. Where Do You Stand? Someone has divided mankind into four classes—those who consistently do less than is expected of them; those who do what is expected of them but no more; those who do things without having to be told, and finally, those who have the magnetic power of inspiring others to do things. All the failures in this world are recruited from the first class. The second class comprises those who scrupe along in some form of drudgery or backwork. Men of the third class are always in great demand in the factory and in the office, but the fourth class represents the highest rung in the ladder of success. In the world of industry the fourth class is attained by the diligent few who have caught the spirit of their task and are able to impart it to the men under them. They are the men who, without being slave drivers, are able to increase the output of an industrial plant. —Industrial Conservation N.Y. --- ETTE copy Five Cents PROMOTING THE HAPPY FAMILY PLAN IN AMERICAN INDUSTRY PLAN IN INDUSTRY How One Corporation Works In Harmony With Its Mon. AN INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY All Grievances Presented by Men Through Representatives Reach Head of Company and Are Honestly Investigated. For more than a year a large and progressive industrial corporation with plants scattered over a large territory in several states of the southwest has been improving its relations with its employees through the medium of a so-called industrial representation plan—an industrial constitution drawn on a basis of democracy and mutual confidence between the head of the company and the workmen who number from 10,000 to 12,000. To deal with the diverse interests of such a vast body of men is a serious task involving stern responsibilities. Nevertheless the company, through its representation plan, has not only carried on social and industrial betterment work on a comprehensive scale but has succeeded in settling all grievances without friction and without interference from the outside. During the year several increases in pay have been made upon the initiative of the company. Allogether the plan has demonstrated itself to an important forward step in the establishment of amicable relations between all the factors in industry. A more widespread adoption of such schemes in plants and factories is heartily recommended by the broad-minded manufacturers of the country who have started the National Industrial Conservation Movement for the purpose of getting employers and employees together. The supporters of the conservation movement realize that the captain of industry and the workingman must fight shoulder to shoulder to protect American industry against conditions that are sure to prevail after the War. Warkera Elect Representatives The Industrial Representation plan was adopted in its present form by the directors of the company and by a referendum vote of the workmen. By secret ballot the workmen in the company's various plants select representatives who act as their authorized agents in all matters pertaining to employment, living and working conditions, the adjustment of differences, and other matters of mutual concern and interest. On the other hand, the president keeps in direct touch with the workmen through officers known as presidents industrial representatives. Employees have been made to understand that they are absolutely free to present all their grievances even though they involve charges against the foremen or superintendents under whom they work. Through the workmen's representatives the complaints are referred to the presidents' industrial representatives, who in turn investigate them carefully and report their findings in detail to the president. In every case the grievances have been investigated fearlessly and impartially and adjustments have been made on a strict basis of fairness, irrespective of whether the award was in favor of the workman or the company official. The workman, dissatisfied with the decision of the presidents' industrial representatives, can appeal to the higher officers of the company in consecutive order up to the president. Then, if he still feels that he has not received full justice, he can carry his case to the joint committee on industrial Cooperation and conciliation, comprised of both employees, representatives and the company's representations, and finally to the State industrial Commission. Confer on Wage Increases. Under the industrial constitution drawn up matters of wages, hours of service and other vital factors in the company's relations with its employees are settled by a written contract. Increases in wages are worked out in conference between company officials and the workmen's representatives. In all matters of industrial betterment the employees' representatives play an important part. They are assigned to joint committees on which they serve with representatives of the company. The names of these committees—Safety and Accidents, Sanitation, Health and Housing, and Recreation and Education—give an adequate idea of the broad scope of the company's interest in its employees. To carry out the schemes enforced by the committees the company has spent WHERE UNCLE $AM’S FUTURE : ADMIRALS ARE TRAINING ee ies a £ (ies se ca ee ; | yee os ‘ia oe “B. | oie > ht AS poe — ee eet ae aay p ae we 2 ts | Sie te: 2 ee a A forse meni i ei rd e me re we ; : ON : Mat cee é i suey tia ety er pee a = ee Ee ll " apt Bache ect i oe ae | oy Cres ae Smee | ee a ca ees 4 feo oe sy oy e a: satis Tags tar ete ciel + (aes /] eee See | aa ih 2 pe é 4 f- a L ai et \ te Vere "CO Ae pi ‘4 alll S (QFFICERS OF ACADEMY, HEADED BY SEC.

Fritz in the lowa Homestead, At first dairy cows are stall fed, while beef cattle ave mostly fed in a lot out of a feed bunk, You read many “methods of feeding—so many pounds of ensilage, so many pounds of bay and corn stover. This is all right, but who has a herd of milk cows that wilt eat alike of one feed? Some cows like more silage than others, while others leaye the silage and wait for clover hay and corn stover or let the silage be doped with the grain ration before they start to eat My experience Is not to get the idea that exch cow must eat @ certain num ber of pounds of ensilage and it she dogsn't there Is something the matter with her, ‘The better way is to.wateh which cow eats readily and give her an extra tip. Also wateh the cow that waits for the grain ration, for she has Just @s good an appetite as the one that eats readily, but she has been overfed and doesn’t like the taste, Feed her lightly until she is back on feed again. If she doesn't consume a larger amount don't feed any more than what is cleaned up, and leave her looking for more, She really doesn't want any more, but bas a craving for it, and if given more will just nose around in :t and let it alone. ‘This cow needs to de fed a little heavier grain ration than the other and will respond to the milk pail if given Don't feed too much ensilage—that is, so much thut they let it He or re f'se to eit anything else. Make them clean it up. It is easier for you to let the cow clean out the feed box than to do it yourself after she has bad as much as she wants, Such a method 18 very wasteful, Don't feed too little—that is more unprofitable than the other way. BREEDING FOR EGGS. Select Cockerels That Are Always Ready to Fight, Says English Expert. ‘The best cockerels for breeding lay- ers are the ones that fight without provocation, says ‘Tom Barron, the noted English poultry breeder, It takes physical strength for a hen weighing but four pounds to produce « two ounce egg a day for 200 or 225 days a year. He alxo wil tell.you that the source of strength for this tremen- dous task Iles Iu the fighting cockerel, with which the mother of the ben I mated. The mother furnishes the habit aud the father the stamina. The com- Dination furnishes double the amonnt of eggs In twelve months that come from the ordinary hit or miss method, Such fine physical power ix an ubso- lute essential, again, when an attempt is made to push egg production to un- usual limits, It takes superior endur- ance for a hen to lay eggs more than 200, days a year. The fighting cockerel again furnishes the power of endnr- ance demanded. ‘The breeder of laying hens is well on the way to exceptional success, according to Barron, when be fs raising fighting corkereis from exis laid by big egg producing hens and breeding these cockerels with bens from an entirely different strain of heavy egg producers Deen the Aibiiie tenes, “Two-thirds of the feeding value of the alfalfa plant is the leaves,” says a writer iu the Farm aud Fireside, “If the leaves are lost in curing only one- third of the feeding value remains. ‘This makes it important that alfalfa hay be cured so as to save the leaves. ‘This means that the alfalfa must be raked into windrows before the leaves dry or they will fall off. The alfaifa should be raked into windrows an hour or two after deing cut.

The Feeding and Management of Yeung Dairy Steck. (Prepared by United States department of agriculture} It is common practice among dairy- men to feed skimmilk until the calf is approximately six months of age, says farmers’ bulletin 777, Usually the time of weaning depends upon the avail- ability and cost o¢ the milk. When milk is fed in abundanee it furnishes the greater part of the pro- tein necessary for the growth of the animal.
