Singleton’s Sermon Very Inspiring—A Few Pacts About The Order. The thirty-third Pythian Period which was celebrated at the new St. Philip church on last Sunday afternoon was a very interesting meeting and was attended by a large concourse of people. ‘The order in all of its branches was out in full strength and the program which was rendered was very impressive. ‘The heavy rains of early Sunday afternoon had but very little effect on the attendance, “as it was all that could secure entrance to the church. ‘The music for the afternoon was rendered by the juvenile branch of the order and it was very in- spiring indeed. ‘Chis branch of the order was also represented on the program by one of its members who had a very thoughtfully pre- pared paper. ‘The courts were well represent- ed. Miss Nellie Mae Hart read a paper which has been widely com- mented upon. Among the other speakers were Mr. G. S. Wilhams, who repre- sented the supreme lodge; Major .J. M. Reese, of Atlanta, xhospoke for the uniform ranks and Mr. F, M. Cohen who spoke. in behalf of the Grand Lodge and the Endow- ment Bureau. Rev. K. 1. Singleton, pastor of the church, preached the annual sermon. It was a masterly effort and one which deeply impressed the members of the order and their friends. Several important facts were brought out by the various speak- ers, among them were that there are 1200 members of the order in this city and 13,574 in the state. The finances of the order were al- $0 touched upen.. It was shown Contenaed on Page Four Negro Old Line Company Makes Southern Debut } The Standara Life Insurances icompany, H. KE. Persy, president recently licensed by the (Georgi state insurance department, is be |lieved to be the first -old-line life insurance company organ‘zed ex. clusirely by Negroes to write in. surance among Negroes. Insur- ance circles generally are interest- ed in the circumstances under which the company begins opera tion, since they believe they may indicate a new field of activity for the Negro. The stable nature of the com- pany is indicated in the fact that it ‘passed easily the inspection of the state insurance department, which now operates under rigid new laws designed to weed out “blue sky” concerns, Hts capital stock of $100,009 was soll with premiums of $38,000. ‘The promotion ex- penses total the usually conserya- tive aggregate of eight per cent total organization expenses two percent.

The meeting was 6 very enthusi- astic one and those in attendance (were evidently deeply concerned in the proceedings of the evening. The present agitation against river boat excursions among Ne- groes, was begun several months ago by the Dove Aid and Social |club, an organization which last jyear gave two very successful wa- ter outings, This organization af- |ter deciding that they did not get 2 square deal from those operating the boats which are chartered by Negroes for these excursions took the matter of their treatment at the hands of the boat company un- der advisement and sent out com- munications to most of the Negro organizations of the city that gen- erally go down the river. In these commiynications the grievances of the club against the boat company were set forth and they met a very responsive chord with practically all the leading or- ganizations to which they were sent. Inthe meantime the Savannah Home Association, who had also gone down the river twice last lyenr, and with record crowds, had investigated the rumor that there was a rise in the cost of boat hire for excursions, and finding it true, called the meeting which was held at their club rooms on* Monday night to which thirty of their kin- dred organizations each sent rep- resentatives to the number of three. Among the organizations repre- sented were most of the fraternal, organizations, many of leading be- nevolent and social clubs and the St. Philip Monumental church, At this meeting the treatment of the Negro organizations of the city by the boat company was general- ly discussed. It was very evident during the first few minutes of the meeting that those present were opposed to the continuance of river excursions, All of the speakers, in no uncertain terms, condemned the treatment which their respec- tive organizations had received at the hands of the boat company. ‘The following resolutions unani- j mously adopted, expressed the at- titude of every speaker who took [part in the discussion, and also every member present. Whereas, There has been a rise in the cost of boat hire for excur- [sion boats down the Savannah jriver and elsewhere which. the Negroes have been privilegéd to hire, and = | Whereas, Said boats do not af- ford necessary conveniences’ for the accommodation of Negro pa- trons. and Whereas, The boat owners above referred to have made ir- regular charges for said boats to Negroes desiring to charter them this season, and Whereas, Said boat owners hare discriminated against and jim crowed Negroes by not allowing {them on the upper decks of said boats during regular trips to and | from Beaufort. and ~ Whereas, On many occasions the chartered rights of Negroes have been infringed upon by the owners in the transportation of freight and other commodities, thereforebe it Resolved, That we, the several organizations here gathered, with many of the leading churches, do hereby agree to withdraw our | patronage from said boats for ex- cursions, in any manner whatever. Further be it : Resolved, That we most em- phatieally and forcibly resent the jabove discrimination. Lastly be it af Fe Resolved, That we shall use our Continued on Page Four Program Of Races Changed GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE WILL NOT COMPETE All Schooi Yards at Recess Time A Busy Athletic Field— Eliminations Held Next Week —Prices of Admmission Same As Last Year. This week has been a very busy one in the public and private schools of the city, especially for the youngsters under twelve years of age who expect to enter the elimination contests of their vari- ous schools during Monday and Tuesday in‘order to win places on their school teams which will par- ticipate in the athletic contests which will be held at the baseball park on the afternoon of May 2nd. ‘Lhese trials, from all indications, will be even more bitterly waged than those of last year, and the yeungsters are all prepared for gruelling contest. Immediately after all the youny- er boys’ eliminations has been run, the older boys will fight it out for places on their respective school teams and spirited contests will be witnessed at all the schools. The rivalry among these latter is very manifest and those boys now in school who were fortunate enough to represent their schools last year are going to be given a hard fight for the coveted places by many of those who did not ‘make good” last year. There will be a slight change in the program frem that announced last week. This has been caused by the-fact that the Georgia State Industrial College will not enter the meet on account of a lecture which will be held at the college about the same hour which the races will take place. However, several of the more prominent athletes from the col- lege have stated definitely that they will enter the meet unat- tached. Among the leading athletic clubs of the city that will have repre- sentatives in the open events will be the Eureka Aid and Athletic Club. In this organization are some of the most prominent ath- letes of-the city, and they together with the unattached competitors will make the open events very in- teresting. Ata meeting of the Negro Busi- ness and Professional *“Men’s Asso- ciation which was held at ‘The Trib-| une building Wednesday night, it was decided that the same price of admission to the park would be. charged this year as last, that is 10 cents for children and 15 cents for adults. In addition to this, the box s¢ats which were not sold last year, but given free of charge to those who arrived at the park first will be sold this year for 25 cents. As there is only a limited numiber ot these it is more than likely that there will be quite a rush for them aS soon as they kre put on sale. Considerable interest is being shown in the ticket selling contest which will be conducted this year among the virls instead of amonz the boys. The three prizes whieh vill be given tothose selling the largest number of tickets will be placed in theshow windows of one of the Negro business places just us soon as the tickets are out, and the contest begun. ‘The committee which has charge of this will an- nounce the day for beginning the contest to all the schools at the same time so that no one will have in advantage over the other. Thesubscription committee which nas been canvassing the city for funds to defray the expenses of he meet has met with great suc- ess and the way the public has re- ponded to their calls has demon-| strated beyond a doubt that the coming races will be the most popu- ar athletic event ever conducted »y the Negroes of this city. That the boys are taking to the ‘aces like dueks to water may bel rained from the following account! yy a teacher in one of the small yrivate schools. She said: “Wel vere very sorry. that the boys of sur school did not get in the races ast year beeause they were al ikely looking little athletes to ts! ind we felt sure they would have tiven a good account of themselves in the races.

Sunday morning was children's day, and despite the down pour of rain, there was a very large attendance. They acted well their part. The lesson was reviewed and short talks were given by Rev. Wright and others. At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson Rome 4th. The subject of his sermon was, "His Mercy Endureth Forever." The sermon was filled with excellent advice and helpful illustrations. It was quite evident that the sermon was enjoyed by all. The choir sang, "Glory to my soul." Mrs. Whitfield of Washington, D. C., field secretary of the National Convention, was present and spoke of the work that is being done by the missionaries. Quite a large collection was taken to assist them. Attend our revival services at any time. They are always beneficial. St. Benedict's Church. Sunday, April 8th, second Sunday after Easter. Low masses at 7 and 8 a.m. Hi a mass and sermon at 10:39 a.m. Sunday school after the last mass. At 8 p. m., there will be a great celebration in honor of St. Genedict, the Moor, Patron Saint of our church, whose feast occurred on April 3rd. Solenn Vespers will be sung by the choir; after which Father Eugene, of the Sacred Heart College, will preach the Panygeric of the Saint. Father Eugene is an eloquent speaker, well known to the congregation, as he preached one Lenten sermon. Solenn benediction will bring the celebration to a close. St. Benedict was a Negro, born of slave parents on the Island of Sicily in 1524. At the age of 21 years, he entered in to a Franciscan monastery, where he became so distinguished by his heroic virtues, that the Monks elected him Superior of the community. No greater proof of the real democratic spirit of the Catholic Church could be found than the fact that a humble lay brother, a colored man, was chosen Superior of a community of white Monks. St. Benedict died at Palerms in 1598, and in 1607 he received the honors of Canonization, the greatest honor conferred on any man by the old Catholic church. St. Benedict (known in history by St. Benedict the Moor, although he a real Negro,) is now the Patron Saint of the colored Catholics in the United States, and several grand churches have been erected in his honor, as in New York, Milwaukee, etc. We ask the colored Catholics of Savannah to join with their brethren in honoring St. Benedict, the glory of their race and the greatest type of a true Christian man. Next Sunday there will be no service in St. Mary's Chapel, the members of the Mission will participate in the celebration of the Parish Church. Last Sunday converts were solemnly baptized and received into the church. Seven of them received the regenerating Sacrament in St. Benedict's Church. Mr. Eugene Greene was baptized in St. Mary's Chapel. It was a pretty ceremony. Mr. Amos Cannal and Mrs. Rosa Lloyd acted as sponsors. St. Philip Church. Major Dodd of the Salvation Army preached at 11 a.m. On Sunday his sermon was very interesting and beneficial. Promptly at 3 p.m., over twelve hundred Pythians, Court of Calanthes and Juveniles assembled at St. Philip to celebrate the Pythian Period. Rev. R. H. Singleton, pastor of St. Philip delivered the anniversary sermon which was complimented on every hand. At 8:15 the Ocean Breeze society worshipped at St. Philip. Rev. Singleton also preached their annual sermon Prof Watkins gave one his moving picture entertainments. at St. Philip, on Thursday night which was one of the best On Monday night Madame Booker lectured at St. Philip to a large audience and on Friday afternoon had a heart to heart talk to girls over 16 years.

Rev. L. A. Townsley, the pastor and prime mover of all good things, deserves credit for the success of the conference. He was out every night and assisted the ladies whenever called on. Sister Hannah Sullivan, the senior and presiding bishop, had her fellow bishops, presiding elders, ministers and lay delegates well drilled and the conference was carried out in grand style. The Sunday services as usual were good. Sunday school at 9:30 was well attended. The pastor preached two able sermons at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. respectively. Class meeting Tuesday night was a rare treat, a large crowd greeted the pastor. Madam Booker's recital Wednesday night was grand. The choir rendered excellent music for her.

The Little Zion Baptist Church, Rev. A. G. Frazier pastor, has purchased the church edifice, Hall and Harmon streets, and is now worshiping there. The members who formerly worshiped there have unified with Little Zion Church. The action of these two churches in uniting is a very commendable one. They deserve the praise of the entire community. Very seldom do we hear of two churches uniting. Christian Endeavor. On Sunday April 6th, 1913, at the First Congregational Church the Christian Endeavor will convene and the following subject will be discussed: "The Ideal Christian." Matt. 20;20-28. As this Sunday will be consecration meeting each member will be suppose to send, or be present, with a Bible verse. Resolutions Savannah, Ga., Apr. 1, 1913.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson I.—Second Quarter, For April 6, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, Gen. xxvii, 22-34. Memory Verses, 33, 34-Golden Text. Isa. xxx, 18-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Seven other sons, including Ishmael, are recorded as having been born to Abraham by his secondary wives, but to Isaac he gave all his possessions (xxv, 1, 2, 5) and sent the others away unto the east country. Abraham lived 175 years, and when he died Isaac and Ishmael had his body beside that of Sarah in the cave of Machpelah (xxv, 7-10). While he lived he looked for the city which hath foundations whose builder and maker is God (Heb. xl, 10, 10), and he is still waiting for it and for the complete fulfillment of the promises made to him as heir of the world (Rom. iv, 13). Time is long to us, but not to Him to whom a thousand years are but as yesterday when it is post (Ps. xc. 4) and as a watch in the night. It is restful to see Isaac dwelling by the well Lahai-rol, the well of Him that liveth and seeth, me (xxv, 11; xvl, 14, margin). He was forty years old when he married Rebekah, and he was sixty when the twins Jacob and Esau were born. It forebodes trouble to read that Isaac loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob (xxv, 20, 26-28), and the reason given for Isaac's love for Esau does sound very earthly. Futures were not any more real to Esau than they are to multitude today. A mess of pottage was more to him as a hungry man than his birthright (xxv, 20-34), and for this he is spoken of as a profane person, or, according to Weymouth, "ungolly" (Heb. xxl, 16). Think of the profanity abounding everywhere because the god of this world is blinding so many eyes to the realities, of the future kingdom and glory. In chapter xxvi we read of Isaac's failure on the same line on which his father had failed twice, in calling his wife his sister to save his own life (Gen. xli and xx). In xxvi.4, we have the star promise confirmed to Isaac, and in verses 12-16 we see how greatly the Lord blessed him and how very rich the Blessing of the Lord makes one. A beautiful incident is related in verses 17 to 33 as to how yielding instead of strife makes manifest the life of Christ in us. The Philistines had filled up some of Abrham's wells. Issa reopened one, and then they claimed it as theirs, and he let them have it. He reopened another, and they claimed that one, too, and he let them have it. When he reopened a third for some reason they did not strive for that. Later they came to him to make a covenant with him and gave as their reason for desiring it. "We saw certainly that the Lord was with thee" (verse 28). Had he contended with them and insisted on keeping the wells, which would have been quite right in the eyes of the world, they would have seen Isaac and not the Lord, but he had learned the lesson of rather taking wrong and suffering himself to be defrauded (I Cor. vi, 7). It is most interesting to note that the same day his servants in digging a well found water (xxvl, 32). It is indeed sad to have to turn from such a beautiful incident to the lesson for today, which is a record of awful deceit and lying and, worst of all, a mother putting her son up to it and calling down the consequences upon her own head (xxvll, 13). Her alm was to bring the father's blessing upon the son whom she loved, but if she had only believed God and left the matter in His hands He would not have failed to keep His word, for He had told her before the boys were born that the elder should serve the younger (chapter xxv, 20). There is everywhere today a tendency to help the Lord to do what He has no thought of doing, and that is to win the world to Himself in this age, with the devil still doing his devilish work. There is also such a lack of confidence in God and His plan for His kingdom that many religious people try to work out their own plan, thinking thus to help God. The devil hates the love of God, the patience of God, the purpose of God, and is as busy with many of the people of God as he was with Rebekah that day, but they are blinded and conceived (II Cor. iv, 3, 4; Rom. xi, 25). This record of Rebekah makes us think of another mother who was her son's counselor to do wickedly (II Chron. xxii, 3), but one would hate to associate Rebekah with such as Athallah, though it is true of all that the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked and the carnal mind is enmity against God (Jer. xvii, 9; Rom. viii, 7). If some-of us have not developed the same degree of iniquity as others it is only the grace of God that has kept us. Note the lie upon lie of this story: "I am Esau, thy firstborn," "The Lord thy God brought it to me," "I am thy very son Esau" (verses 19, 20, 24). But he was found out even as it is written. "Be sure your sin will find you but" (Nunn. xxxii, 23), though those words were used in a wholly different sense when uttered or written. We do well to remember that "God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil" (Eccl. xii, 14). This may, have been the first but certainly not the last story of kid glove deceit on record. W. L. BLUNT WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit And Commission Merchant 302 ST.

Adelina Patti once gave the following account of her first audience: At six years of age I was a prima donna of the nursery. When I had been put to bed on my return home with my father and mother from the opera I used to make sure that they and the rest of the family were asleep, and then I would hop out from beneath the counterpane and fancy myself a great cantatrice, bowing before the plaudits of a huge audience. I must admit that my audience was a little apathetic, but, after all, that is not to be wondered at, for they were only a row of dolls which I had ranged on chairs before me. Has His Own Center of Population. Little George had a heavy and rather intractable head of auburn hair which defied his mother's efforts to make it look well groomed. One day, after much brushing, she stopped and said: "Oh, George, I cannot make your hair go the right way, it is so thick!" George turned quickly and replied: "If you think my hair is thick you just ought to see that boy's across the street. He has the most thickly populated head you ever saw."—Kansas City Star. Radium and Gems. It is possible to change the color of precious and semiprecious stones by exposing them to the action of radium A German who has devoted himself to this study has obtained remarkable results.

At the end of a month the transformations were as follows: White sapphires had become yellow, blue green, violet blue, wine colored stones red and dark blue violet.—Harper's. SAVANNAH.

Classes and the Eyes. Every one knows that in using a field glass it is necessary to adjust it to a proper focus. Suppose that you put one of the tubes at your focus and the other tube at a focus that suited some one else and then you looked through both tubes. You would have a more or less blurred vision, and if you kept on looking the chances are that you would feel giddy and get a headache. Now, the two eyes are supposed to have an equal natural focus, and when by any chance that focus is unequal a headache results. The remedy is a pair of glasses or a single glass to make the eyes equal in power. —Exchange. A physician recently remarked that "it was an awful punishment to be only slightly ill and have nothing to do." The man who is only halfway sick, if he has nothing to occupy his attention, soon grows morbidly introspective, and his mind becomes filled with exaggerated ideas of his condition. Disease grows and flourishes under such conditions. Regular employment is conducive to health.

There was once a time though several years, ago, when the Negro man cared not for the final disposition of the money he paid for his insurance, so long as he was assured that his sick and death benefits would be paid in due time, but since he has become able to guide his reasons discretionately in the general knowledge of things, he finds himself confronted with this question: Since the Negro furnishes the bulk of money by which to operate a certain class of industrial insurance, the benefits of which are used for the creating of positions to which he knows his children can never hope to enjoy, then why not become jealous and only support those companies, such as the brilliant Georgia Mutual, that are now giving employment to Negro men and women as a perpetual division to the success to which he has so freely contributed?

Mr. David Brinson, while painting the gymnasium of the Regimental armory on Tuesday, was severely injured by the slipping of a ladder. He is improving. A white painter was also injured at the same time. It is reported that a Colored man Frank Brown, while getting out of a wagon near his employer store, was accidently killed by the discharge of an automatic pistol of latter. This occurred across the river in South Carolina. Eight firemen were appointed on Tuesday and five were dismissed. Responding to a fire alarm, second chief assistant Forgarty was thrown from the rear foot board of the chemical engine and was slight, ly injured. A number of small white boys were caught destroying the shrubbery on the Bay street strand. Nothing was done to them. A raid was made on a questionable house on the notorious Pendergast street the other night and Policeman Crosby was caught among the inmates. He was dismissed from the force by the Mayor. A white man named Eadely tried to arrest a colored man on the east side on Tuesday, at the point of a pistol. A real officer arrested him and as a result of which he is in the lock up with serious charges pending. --- Fourteen alleged gamblers were caught in a raid on Pendegrast street early Sunday morning. The stock of Ensel's clothing store on West Broughton street was damaged by a Sunday morning fire to an extent of $2,500. The books of the receiver of tax returns are now opened for the receiving of the returns. The police patrol had an exciting run away on Sunday. A white prisoner was being carried to the barracks.

Roman In an address to the Knights of Pythias of Tennessee not long ago Dr. C. V. Roman, the "saga" of Nashville, Tenn., said in part as follows: "Physical energy is the basis of worldly success, and the primary need of our people today is to conserve their physical force. Our educated people must live long enough to pay back with interest the price of their education. "The college bred man who dies at graduation or soon thereafter dies in debt to society. If he dies through his own ignorance or carelessness he absconds without paying his board bill. He throws away other people's money. "Our successful men must live until their successors are qualified if we are to hold our own and advance. The thirtieth birthday marks the summer solstice of the average man's career. He should have at least thirty active years from that date to make and reap his rewards. "A high birth rate is not a full compensation for a high death rate. The energies of the race are exhausted in merely trying to live, and no strength is left for improvement. How much land could a farmer till if he broke fresh horses every morning? "He could make no headway even if the horses were given him, and a race that loses its prepared men and women prematurely cannot find compensation for the lost in a high birth rate. The drain must be stopped. How? By teaching our people to utilize all available opportunities to improve their physical condition. One illustration will suffice. Davidson county, Tenn., has built a modern tuberculosis hospital, equal accommodations for colored and white. Although there are more deaths among the colored than among the whites from tuberculosis, there are fewer colored patients at the hospital than whites. "The average colored persons stricken with tuberculosis would rather remain a burden to his relatives and finally die than go to the hospital and get well. "To enlighten our people along these lines is a great opportunity. Let us hope that our fraternal leaders may see that "the good of the order" consists in embracing promptly this opportunity."—St. Louis Afro American. Wheat Hill School. Five Mile Bend. The closing exercise took place Monday March 31st. The opening prayer was offered by Mrs. M. M. Thomas. Then came the songs and recitations. After one hour spent indoors, the visitors were invited on the field to witness the out door sports. First came the May pole dance by the girls, then came a contest ball game between the Wheat Hill Reds and the Wheat Hill Blues, which resulted in a score of 13 to 16 in favor of the Blues. After resting a while from the game the gallant young soldiers, dressed in blue uniforms, shouldered their wooden guns and treated the spectators to a fine drill. Next came the refreshments, which were served by the following committee of school girls: Miss Matilda Lovett, Lela Edwards, Elizabeth Jordan, Hannah Bostard, Elizabeth Watson and Bertha Rucker. The seats were moved aside and the place cleared for dancing. The music was furnished by a Zonophone Band composed of the school boys. The last on the program was the promotion list which was read by the teacher, Miss Rebecca Sengstacke. This was followed by the song which the teacher explained, is sung every school day "Home Sweet Home." Then came the sad part when each had to say good-bye to their teacher and school buildings until October. Many parents were present and congratulated the teacher on the progress which the children had made this term. They also expressed themselves well pleased with the exercises and outdoor sports. A Wonderful Cataract The falls of Iguazu, situated near where Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil meet, form one of the most wonderful cataracts in the world, being greater in extent and more varied in character than the better known falls of Niagara. The first plunge of the Iguazu falls is 210 feet, followed by two others of 100 feet each, while between the two series of falls there are cataracts and rapids covering a vast expanse and surrounding picturesque islands. Investment. I washed my face, my hands, my feet I bathed the outward part. The work begun Was just half done I did not wash my heart. I dressed me up in gorgeous clothes, Looked neat in every part; But I strut in vain With my gold head cane, For I did not dress my heart. At last men shun me everywhere, And even children start, As I approach In my costly coach For the stench within my heart. I bathe my face, my hand, my feet; I wash the inward part. Now men greet me With a hearty glee. For my pure, unsultied heart. H. Pearson, State College. Notwithstanding its excellence as a fungicide for bushes and trees, lime-sulphur spray has been found to be unfit for use in controlling blight in potatoes. The spray injured the vines and, as a result, reduced their growth and the yield of tubers. Spring kids will breed that fall if they have an opportunity, but to allow them to breed before the next fall, when eighteen to twenty-two months old, will make them useless as milkers. They never recover from the stunting effects and exhaustion of bearing kids too early. There is nothing in the buttermaking process that will kill disease germs that might have been contained in the cream. This means that both butter and buttermilk may contain the bacilli of tuberculosis and other diseases, and one is no better off because he refrains from drinking the buttermilk, yet eats the butter. Manure is money. There is no discounting this conclusion, and any landowner who doesn't believe it and proves he doesn't believe it by the way he robs his soil is making a great mistake that will soon stare him in the face. All soil is depleted sooner or later, and that farm comes to the turn the soonest to which nothing is given back. Feeding a lamb by hand is often made necessary in case of the death of the dam, but it is an undertaking that takes a good deal of attention. The youngster has to be fed about every two hours, and, on top of this, whole cow's milk should be used. If it does not test as high as 6 per cent a little cream should be added to it and a little sugar. The farmer needs and should receive a reasonable protection in the pursuit he follows as expressed in moderate protective duties, but at the present stage of the game the man who seems to be most in need of public sympathy on this score is the fellow who is trying to support a family of six or eight on $1.75 a day with meat and other necessaries soaring constantly higher. It is this fellow who is put to it to make both ends meet. Some folks would call this man queen. He came in from doing his chores one Sunday morning some time ago and, finding that plans were being made for a 'swell dinner, gave orders to have the stuff put away for another day. This wasn't because he was queer necessarily, but because he thought his wife was entitled to a little rest on the day set apart for rest. This is a type of consideration that ought to be practiced more than it is. Three per cent of all hogs that are slaughtered under federal supervision are infected with tuberculosis. The percentage of hogs affected with the disease has increased considerably within the past half dozen years. The chief sources of spreading the disease are the use of the skimmilk and buttermilk from tubercular cows and the practice of having hogs follow feeding cattle that are affected with the disease and consuming the offal thrown out from slaughter houses. A level headed farmer with whom the writer talked the other day remarked, in the course of a conversation explaining that his hired hand had been with him three years, that he found it worth while using tact in his treatment of him. He amplified this by saying that he tried as a rule to let his man have his own way or do things largely in his own way when there was nothing to be lost by so doing. This man has largely solved in his own case one of the worst aspects of the hired help problem. Where there is water under pressure in the house equal to about forty pounds to the square inch very good use may be made of the water motors for furnishing power for doing light forms of work, such as running the washing machine, sewing machine, and the like. Motors costing in the neighborhood of $3 are made which can be screwed on to the ordinary faucet, the waste water running off through the sink. The motor is fitted with a belt wheel, which drives the wheel of the machine to be used. While there is no telling what the season may bring forth along the line of weather conditions, the writer is of the opinion that any one who has the right kind of land for them would not go for wrong in planting a fair area to early potatoes. The seed is cheap. While there is an abundance of late potatoes held over from last season, which will tend to discourage high prices early in the season, these early potatoes may be wanted for seed the following spring at a good price. What is said of early potatoes applies equally to late potatoes. A Canadian subscriber of an American agricultural paper tells of an interesting yet simple method of securing a summer's supply of ice. Briefly, it was to make an excavation, as for a cellar, 10 by 12 feet and 5 feet deep. Into this he poured gradually, as fast as it would freeze solid from the bottom, clean water. By the time cold weather was over this hole was full of solid ice, and he then covered it with about two feet of wild hay. He suggests that the ice will last much longer if it is given a sod house covering. This Canadian makes practical cold storage use of this arrangement by putting in a hog carcass or a half a beef and letting it freeze in with the ice. In the spring as the ice melts around the meat it is cut off and eaten. INSURANCE GEOGRAPHY When is a man most confused? When he misses his train. When are the people most unsafe?

The Bad Soldier In one of the barrack rooms a soldier, not having much time to dress for guard, had cleaned his boots very well in front, but hardly at all behind One of his chums, noticing this, said: "Why don't you clean the backs on your boots. Pat?" "Oh," said Pat, clapping on his behemet and hurrying out to parade. "a good soldier never looks behind." In consequence the adjutant awarded Pat three extra parades, and a few days after his chum, seeing a great difference in his boots, remarked. "I thought a good soldier never looked behind, Pat?" "No," replied Pat, "but the adjutant does."—London Answers. No Romance. "You remember that note I put in the pocket' of one of the coats we shipped out?" said the first seamstress. "Get an answer?" inquired her chum. "Yes; got a letter today from the man who bought the coat. He enclosed a needle and requested me to thread it. Said the buttons were not sewed on very well."—Kansas City Journal. A. Hardened Case. "Husband, you have never given me any money since we have been married. Now, I positively must have $50." "Aw, here's a dollar. What are you going to do with it?" "I think I'd better frame it as a souvenir." "In that case hand it back and I'll give you a check instead." — Kansas City Journal. Alfalfa Fine For Horses. The Utah experiment station found that 1,400 pound horses at hard work could be maintained in condition on 32.6 pounds of alfalfa hay per day, and when at rest twenty pounds was sufficient for the same horses. Secretary of Agriculture F. D. Colburn of Kansas says: "The idea that alfalfa hay is not suitable for horses has been proved erroneous by thousands of farmers, teamsters and livermen. Many use no other hay. If there is any trouble it comes from feeding more than is needed. With access to unlimited quantities horses may injure themselves by eating too much. From ten to twenty pounds of alfalfa hay per day, with a small quantity of grain, will keep work horses in thrifty condition at a saving of 20 to 30 per cent in cost of maintenance." The Cattle Population. In the twelve year period, 1902 to 1013, the cattle population of the country decreased from 61,424,599 to 56,527,000, and sheep from 62,964,870 to 51,412,000, while hogs have increased in number from 48,698,890 in 1902 to 61,178,000 in 1913. VALUE OF OIL AND COTTON SEED MEALS The chemical composition of linseed oil meal and cottonseed meal given in terms of digestible nutrients is as follows: Linseed oil meal, protein 30.2 pounds, carbohydrates 32 pounds, fat 5.9 pounds; total nutrients 77.7 pounds; cottonseed meal, protein 37.6 pounds, carbohydrates 21.4 pounds, fat 9.6 pounds; total nutrients, 80.6 pounds. It will be observed that the chemical composition of these two feeds is much the same, says Hoard's Dairyman—that is, they are rich in protein and fat, cottonseed meal containing a little more total nutrients than oil meal and being richer in both protein and fat. Linseed oil meat has other qualities to commend itself to the feeder than simply its composition. Experiments have shown that when animals are kept upon dry feeds a handful to a pound of oilmeal daily to each animal helps keep the digestive tract in good condition—that is, it helps keep the bowels loose. Where silage, roots or any succulent feed is fed oilmeal is not particularly necessary from this standpoint. Cottonseed meal, as shown by its composition, is a splendid feed and can often be used when there is a lack of protein. One to two pounds daily A The pure bred Holstein bull Johanna Korndyke De Kol F, herewith shown, heads the herd at the Minnesota insane asylum. For several years the policy of introducing pure blood and testing out the leafers has been followed at the institution. The result has been that more than twice as much milk is produced from a herd numbering only half as many cows as under the former haphazard methods. The present herd is composed of pure bred and grade Holstens and for four months averaged over four gallons of milk per cow per day. may be incorporated in the ration to advantage, especially with farm grown grains. It is somewhat constipating and does not work into a ration as well as linseed oil meal when there is no succulence. Cottonseed meal has a tendency to produce a firmer bodied butter. If fed in too large quantities the butter will have a tallowy appearance. On the other hand, luscious oil meal has a tendency to produce a soft butter. When there is an abundance of alfalfa and clover it is somewhat doubtful whether very much. If any, of either of these feeds can be used to advantage, for, as a rule, where protein is not needed and the dietetic effect upon the animal's digestion is not required they are rather more expensive than some other feeds which may be selected. A mixture consisting of 600 pounds ground corn and cob meal and 200 pounds cottonseed meal will go very well with an allowance of thirty pounds of corn silage and a liberal allowance of alfalfa and clover hay given daily to each animal. One pound of this, grain mixture to each three and a half to four pounds of average testing milk produced should give very good satisfaction. We believe, however, that if the corn and cob meal could be mixed with some lighter feed, like distillers' grains, brewers' grain or bran, it would give as good results, if not better, for the feeds we have mentioned would lighten the grain portion of the ration, which we believe is of more importance, since there are sufficient elements of every kind in the other feeds to meet the requirements of the animal. Preventing Sore Shoulders The best cure for sore shoulders is never to cause them, says W. F. Purdue. Work safely and give the collars and harness proper attention, then sore shoulders will be avoided. One of the first things to do at the beginning of a season of hard work is to see that all collars fit their wearers comfortably. Then keep the parts of the collars that touch the skin clean and smooth or free from rough places such as are formed by accumulations of sweat and dirt that have dried on the leather. Remove all such accumulations before they have time to harden. Keep the traces even, so that each shoulder does its fair share of the work. Keep the lines so fixed that the animals work with their heads straight in front and not on one side. It is little things like these that mark the difference between a good teamster and a poor one. The Cow at Calving Time. Up to a few days before calving the cows may remain in their stalls, provided they are large enough for them to have plenty of room to lie down, for this is an important consideration when the cows are heavy in calf. Before her time for calving she should be removed from her stall to a box stall, and in no case allow her to remain in a stall by the side of the other cows that are in calf.
