To Group the Federal Government Jobs THERE appears to be considerable vim to the movement to reorganize the executive department. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania Introduced the following resolution for Senator Mc Cormlck of Illinois (absent In Eu rope) : "Resol.vcd, Thnt there be appointed a special committee of the senate to bo composed of 10 members, G to be chosen from the mnjorlty party nnd 4 from the minority party, to consider measures for the reorganization of the executive departments nnd the crcn tlon of a department of public works and n department of public welfare." Scnntor Jones of Washington sub mitted the following concurrent reso lution (S. Con. Res.

SOUTH DAKOTA evidently knows n good thing when she sees It nnd wants to keep It, especially If Uncle Sam is willing to pay the bills. Any vvny, Representative Sterling of that state presented a resolution of the leg islature of South Dakota In favor of the enactment of legislation relntlng to appropriations to reimburse owners of land flooded by government artesian .veils, which wns referred to the com mittee on public lands, ns follows: "Bo It resolved by tho house of rep resentatives of the Stnte of South Dakota (the senate concurring) "Whereas the congress of the Uni ted States In years past has approprl ted money for the sinking of four O-lnch wells on the shores of Lake Andes, In tho County of Charles Mix, State of South Dakota, for the pur pose nnd object of keeping said lake illled with wnter to nt least Its nor mnl depth, which result has been fully .nnd successfully realized, to tho great plensurc, satisfaction and enjoyment of the general public, and all persons Interested, with the exception of cer tain landowners, whoso lands nbuttlng the shores of said lake havo become flooded nnd covered with water; und Water Power Act Apparently tho national park servlco wns asleep nt tho switch, for tho now water power net permits the filing of applications for power sites In the na tional parks. Ttie power commission consists of tho secretaries of wnr, In terior and agriculture. Sccrctnry Payne protested to the President, hold ing that the granting of a hntlonal park power permit should be only by net of congress. Then enmo the pledge by Senator Jones. The olllclnl statement of tho na tional park policy Is "That the na tional parks must bo maintained In nbsolutcly unliupnlrcd form for tho use of future generations as well as those of ,your own time." Tho organic net creating the national park servlco specifics that tho purpose of tho na tional parks Is "to conservo tho seen cry and the nntural and historic ob jects and the wild life therein." Applications for penults, however, have already been filed In Grand Ca non, Yosemlto and Sequoia. Friends of the national parks have already begun the bombardment of congress, the women being especially active. A glance at tho list of memo rials, petitions, etc., shows protest from women's organizations from Rhode Island to California. Ing under one department or agency the vnrlous activities of the govern ment relating to the same or'correlnted subject mntter, with n view to doing nwny with duplication In government work and promoting efficiency nnd economy In the government service.

"Wherens the owners of said flooded Innds have Instituted proceedings with a view of Inducing congress to appro priate money for the draining of said lake to such nn extent ns to reclaim their flooded lands, which If done will, to n very great extent, destroy the beauty and benefits of said lake: Therefore be It "Resolved by tho legislature of tho State of South Dakota, That the con gress of tho United States nnd our senators and representatives In con gress be, and, hereby are, memorial ized nnd petitioned to upproprlnto n reasonable amount of money to Indem nify and reimburse tho owners of said flooded lands, nnd that no action be taken or money appropriated 'for tho draining or lowering of said lake." rk s MILK GOATS ARE GOOD PRODUCERS Particularly Well-Suited for Lim ited Space Where Cows Cannot Be Maintained. ' WHOLESOME FOOD FOR CHILD For General Use, for Drinking, Cook ing, Etc., Milk Has Proved Quite Satisfactory Does Need Suc culent Feeds. In Europe the goat Is often spoken of ns "the poor man's cow." With us In America the animal has been con sidered more ns an unfailing source of ridicule thnn ns a milk producer of real value. The goat Is naturnlly adapted for the use of those families who find It Impossible to keep a cow because of limited space or an in jufllclcnt supply of food for the larg er nnlninls. There are many subur ban homesteads and n few farms in this country where milk goats could be kept nt a profit. One animal of One Good Milk Goat Will Supply an Average Family. good milking qualities will supply an average family with n fine quality milk for the greater part of the year.' How Much Milk? About the first question thnt per pective goat buyers ask Is "how nueh milk will a goat give?" A doe rlth an average production of two quarts a day for seven or eight months Is considered n good animal. Three quarts Is thought to Indicate an' excellent nnlmnl. Reliable authorities uy that a good goat will yield ten times her body weight of milk nn nunlly. The lactutlon period covers from seven to ten months. The milk hns n special value as food for In fants nnd Invnllds. If u family keeps a milk goat, It can be well assured of a supply of clean, wholesome food, since It Is then possible to control the sanitation of the dairy by personal at tention. The esteem In which the milk Is held by those who have used It Is In dicated by the fact that It often re tails at SO cents n quart. Gont's milk can be utilized In nil ways that cow's milk can, although for some It is not so well suited. s For general use, for drinking, cooking and In tea and cof fee the milk has proved very satis factory. It Is not so good, however, as n butter-making mntcrlal. Good butter can be mndo from goat's milk, but the operation presents some diffi culty duo to the fact thnt the cream rises very slowly. Cheese mado from gont's milk Is very populnr. Most of the feeds thnt are valuable for tho production of milk by dairy cows are also suitable for does. The ndvnntnge for the suburbun fnmlly Is that n smaller quantity of food is re quired by n milk goat than by u cow. It is ordinarily considered that from six to eight does can bo kept on the feed required for one cow. When does are In milk they should be al lowed all tho roughage that they can consume, such as nlfalfn, clover, or mixed hay, and corn stover. They should also receive n liberal qunn Ity of succulent fewl silage, carrots, parsnips, and turnips nnswer Oils pur pose. Corn, oats, bran, barley, lin seed oil meal, or oil cake are the grain feeds best Ktilt.od for a milk-goat ra tion. A ration that has been used and ilpprovod by the United States Department of Agriculture for tho goat's milking season consisted of two pounds of nlfalfn or clover liny, one und n lull f pounds of silage or tur nips, and from ono to two pounds of grain. The grain ration Is made up if a mixture of 100 pounds of corn, 1'K) pounds oats, f0 pounds bran nnd ten pounds of Unseed oil meal., Care In Feeding. Care should always bo taken to s'o that the food Is clean and of good quality. Silage, turnips and slmllnr foods that huv n strong odor or flavor should be fed after milking, nnd nil uneaten' fooil should be removed from the trough. A good supply fresh wnter Is necessary, and roWc salt should be kept where the mil mills enn rench It whenever they wish In purchasing milk goats It Is miK'li more satisfactory to observe the does during their lactation period. This gives tho buyer nn opportunity to study their conformation when they are producing, and the udder develop ment, which Is very Important, can ho better considered. Generally spooking, the murks nnd conformation which d's tlngulsh n good dairy cow should np- peur In n good doe. MAKING CANVASS TO OBTAIN CITY TRADE District of Good Incomes Offers Splendid Field. Success Depends In Large Measure on Personality of Person Soliciting-' Good Understanding Is Usu ally Effected. Producers . sometimes obtnln custo mers by making a personal canvass among city dwellers, say marketing specialists of the United States De partment of Agriculture. Tho neigh borhood selected should be one which Is not well supplied with markets or grocery stores handling farm produce. A suburban district of homes with good Incomes offers a good field In which to solicit trade. Success In making n personal canvass depends In a largo measure on the personnllty of tho person ranking tho canvass. Ho should be neatly dressed, should stnte his business clearly niul concisely, showing the prospective customer why direct marketing would be r.ilvnntnce ous and, If possible, he bhould hnve samples of the produce that can be furnished. As this method of obtain ing customers permits the consumer to see and tnlk with the producer, n bet ter understanding Is" usually effected than If they had never seen each oth er. A man living a few miles from Bnltl- more, who raised poultry, found It Im practicable to market his poultry products personally nnd was not satis fied with the price he could obtnln locally. He made a personal cunvnss of a few homes In n desirable loca tion In Bnltlmoro nnd obtnlned four customers to whom he begnn sending eggs by parcel post. Within n few weeks they hud recommended the pro ilucer to n sufficient number of custo mers to purchase nil the eggs nnd poultry the producer could supply. Customers were rotalned by supplying good qunllty products and by strict at tention to business relations.

STEERS FATTEN ON SILAGE Remarkable Gains, Considering Nature of Feed, Made aa North Da kota Station. Steers can be fattened profitably on corn sllngo nlono according to n series of tests conducted nt tho South Da kota experiment station. The steers didn't get off their feed nor were there nny had results In feeding sllnge as. the sole ration. At the close of the tests each year the cattle were shipped to the Chicago market, sold as killers, and brought within a few cents of the mnrket top. "The gains hnve been remnrkablo considering the nature of the feed," paid Director Wilson. "In many cases the gains hnve been lnrgcr than cnttlo of the same age have mnde on pas ture. Hundreds of cattle are wintered on a half starvation ration when If they were fed corn sllngo from the time they were taken off of grass In the fall they could have been sold Into next spring when cattle are usu ally high In price." EASY TO FATTEN BABY BEEF Good Breeding and Quality Are Chief Requisites for Most Profit able Results. It requires no more skill or ntten lion to fatten baby hooves thnn It jloes mature cattle, but good breeding und quality are necessary If the greatest returns are to be expected from tho production of baby beeves.

Splendid Exhibits, Doth of Animals and Grain, Won Admiration of Judges and Spectators. One of the most Interesting sights nt the International Llvo Stock show nt Chicago was' the evening parades of horses ami cattle. As tho Cana dian section of these pnrades came In to view, nnd ns It passed around the ring, there was continued npplnuso. There were two or three reasons for this, tho principal one being that In this section there were tho wonderful Clydesdales, the Belgians nnd the Per- cherons thnt had carried off chnmplon ships and first prlres. The province of Saskatchewan Had n splendid dis play of Clydcsdnles and Bhowed In n number of clnsses, and In every class they got In the money. A renmrknble nnd noted winning wns thnt of the University of Saskatchewan, showing "Lndy Bruce." female Clydesdale, In u cluss of 24 nnd tnklpg second. In competition there were entries from such famous studs as Conynghnm Bros. of '.Vllkesbnrre, P. L, James of Easton, Mass., and George Chlctt of tho same stnte. She wns henten by an Imported mare, but was later made champion American-bred mnro and reserve grand champion, nn honor never before conferred upon anything hut un Im ported nnlmnl. Tho following nre some of the good things that Canadn won at the inter national, In n fnlr fight and no favors. Grand championship for Clydesdale stallions; championship for Amerlcnn- bred Clydesdale mares; reserve senior and reserve grand chnmplonshlps for Clydosdnle mnrcs; grand chnmplon- ship for Southdown sheep; sweepstukes grand chnmplonshlp for wheat for the continent of America; championship for Durum wheat for America. Another of the reasons for tho np- plausc given the Canadian sections of the parade was the heartiness with which the American spirit was Imbued that Impelled It to greet with the full est appreciation the efforts of the win ner, nnd the hundreds of Canndlnns In tho Immense nudlcnca of the amphi theater appreciated It. The purpose thnt Canada had in making exhibits from their farms, whether it was of llvo stock and they had It there In nil branches grains, grasses, or roots, was to demonstrate that the war had not created devasta tion, that tbe country was alive with Interest In tho mntter of production and that It had ability to produce. In n manner thnt would bring It chnmplon shlps, nnd what better place than the International, where It would bo placed before thousando, many of whom, with the enlightenment thus gained and with a desire to better their condition, would be made to realize thnt in the neighboring country to tho north there was an opportunity that it might be of ndvnntuge to them to embruco.
