Still Sn-acks cf Frontier and Has Not Acquired Enough Civilization to Mine People Calculating in Kindliness. 'Li ago -Chicago Is not Christian i: is Athenian, although dollar a orship is less r vident here than in New York or Washington. It has cot vet gathered sufficient e'owr of civilization to make it cal ulanng in its kindliness. It still smacks of the frontier, al h< jgh its opera is crowded, its art i gallery has more interested observers than ever were se- n in London, and it has one of the most wonderful of uni versities. \nd one comes to Chicago to learn the mightiness of man so -cmeluded the bishop of Saiia .ury. from observations taken in this i lt> covering a period of several »- ek- At least Chicagoans who have bees reading the keen and, on the whole sympathetic criticisms of Chi ago and American life that are ap pearing in th- London Church Times, and are the frankest discussion of Xirerica from a distinguished foreign er r viewpoint since Charles Dickens I • e hi- Xmerican Notes, believe the anonymous critic to he the English bishop If it is not the bishop, it is ; -ome one who came at the same time, and did many of the same thing? the | bishop did. clergy at the Episcopal athedral said Tic- writer of these criticisms lived it a Michigan avenue hotel, visited the Clilren.it y of Chicago and described 'he services at an unnamed fashion ■bk- hurr’: which many are certain i 'bet rec. gnize as Grace church, where 1 the bishop delivered his lectures in December. The fact is known, it was add*>d. tha! the bishop wrote extensive omments on his visit here. I found the greatest surprises of my American visit in Chicago and Cirsburg." says the '.•liter "The Chi c;.gn of Mr St.-ad's dreams Is not the tree Chicago I had ex;>ected a hideous city; I found a city of promise. I had v.ectej sordidness of aim; I found readiness to appreciate literature and art. g*-nerous-mindtduess in criticism and a d< -ire for the sweeter things of life Chicago gives one the impres ts >n of frontierism Not yet is it set tled down Some day they will tear down the hideous 'loop- elevated and make a center for commerce worthy >f the vast enterprise. Then Chicago will begin to show the world wbat a "Ity can be. Her university is most wonderful >f all. Hoys and girls crowd the lec ture-rooms; experiments in psycho physics are treated as intimately Im portant affairs, and are not relegated to hark rooms for isolated research -• .dents Economics draws them in hundreds, and at close quarters the re-pert which an Englishman has for Chicago's work in sociology is vastly Increased. • "And as Chicago Is open-minded, so is it op> n hearted Such charities! Such boundless giving in the very streets! Such a passionate desire to give the poor children a Santa Claus on Christinas morning. There are verses and pictures in the papers, all pleading the same good cause. It is cold by Lake Michigan today. There are pillars of ice within a few yards of my hotel. There is a heavy fall of snow. But Chicago hearts are win somely warm. Not yet have they gath ered sufficient of the veneer of civil ization to make them deliberate in rheir love of their feliows, or to keep them calculating in their kindliness. "I could wish it were a Christian Chicago also. It is so Athenian, so welcome!}- Athenian, so anxious not to overlook any deity whatever. But that is not sufficient. Chicago needs, more even than New York, the rigor of discipline. Here is a fashionable church. It Is well attended. It is ablaze with organization. It has ac complished so much that the tempta tion to deify humanity must come very near to it. There is no God in its theology." DUKE GREAT COTTON RAISER South African Experiments in Culture Give Good Returns—Satisfactory in Yield and Quality. London.—The duke of Westmin ster, who recently returned to this country after a visit to his estate in northwest Rhodesia, has taken an im- j ! portant step in the development of the ' resources of South Africa—he has be come a grower of cotton. Last year the low lying Country on j ! his estate was utilized for the experi- ; mental growing of cotton. The re- j suits were such that the area of land under cultivation has been increased i from 30 acres to 300 acres, which is expected to yield 60 tons of cotton. In yield and quality the first crop— ten tons—was more than satisfactory, and when placed on the market at Liverpool the first consignment to this country was sold at from 20 to 23 j cents a pound. The duke of Westminster's estate in South Africa comprises 10.000 acres of land in northwest Rhodesia, in the vincinitv of the Kafur river. The value of the land when the Dutch bought it was four cents an acre: its value since then, with t^ie added value which the success of the experiment in cotton growing has given to it. has been in creased to 62 cents an acre. Carborundum Used in Building. Paris.—A flight of stairs has been j erected in this city over which 14,000,- j 000. persons have shuffled without so I much as scratching the surface. The^c steps are almost as imperishable ns j if they had been built of huge dia- I moods, for in the concrete of which they are constructed a generous por tion of carborundum has been intro- j duced. and since carborundum is al most as hard as the diamond it has given the concrete a wearing quality j which no marble or granite could pos ! sihly approach. _ Keeping Boys on the Farm Future of Agricultural Industry De pends on Better Methods in Rural Schools. Chicago.—The future of the farm iug Industry in the United States ue ptnds on renovation, improvement ar.d better methods in the rural schools of the country, according to Prof. O. H. Benson, former county su perintendent of schools in Iowa, and recently appointed head of the bureau of plant industry of the department of agriculture. Professor Benson in a strong ad dress showing the vital relationship of the rural school to the question of agriculture, home economics and the keeping of the boy "on the farm," sus tained the interest of 200 grain men present at the opening session of the Council of Xorth America Grain Ex changes. held here the other day. Questions anent the grain situation, the betterment of crops and the scien tific elements of farming were taken up by tbe association. In speaking of the relation of school to farming. Professor Benson said: "Unless the rural schools are Im proved and new methods touching farm life taught, instead of cube root methods, the growing boy will be dis contented with his life. He will look upon the farmer as a type of peasant. The method of education will measure the amount of cereal progress In this country. "The girls also are discontented. The tendency Is to seek city life. That Is the danger and menace to our [arming industry. Place In your rural school teachers who will teach farm ing. make it attractive and valuable, interest the pupils, and the crops will be Increased threefold in an amazing ly short time. "Three years ago I made some sta- ; tislics among schools In my district i in Iowa. Out of 164 boys I found that | 1T.7 of them, all sons of farmers, had ; decided not to follow farming, but to go to the city and take up a profes sion. Later, after educational inno vations, and instructing the teachers in methods of teaching agriculture. I took another vote 1 found that out of 1*4 boys. 162 had decided to he farm ers. That shows how education will ; save your grain and your farm life.” Professor Renson also deplored the . lack of entertaining and instructive literature dealing with farm problems and farm life. He stated that the fact that the most of present-day litera ture dealt with urban life was re sponsible for the departure of many farm children to the congested cit ies. Biggest Liner Is Begun. Brown & Co. of Clydebank have laid the keel for the immense steamer planned for the Cunard Steamship com- ! pany.

Birds Followed In Flights Aluminum Rings Are Placed on Their Legs to Aid Naturalists in Study of Their Habits. London.—Some striking facts have , resulted from the ingenious plan adopt ed by some English and continental naturalists to find out the lines of night and fondness for home of wild birds. In England the bird-marking scheme was taken up on a large scale by Mr. Witberbv fn !S*"9. and since then sev eral thousand birds, many of them nest lings. have been decorated with a light aluminum ring. The example was eag erly followed by naturalists. The divergent lots of two starlings from one nest were traced by Mr. Tice burst. the Erst author of the scheme as preached in "British Birds.” One of the youngsters, ringed during infancy in its nest in an English cher ry tree, has been picked up wounded close to Boulogne, in France, rather more tbyn a year later. The other, a home-keeping bird. war. found in a nest ; box within 103 yards of its paternal cher-y tree. The black-headed gulls, the species that especially haunt London, have pro vided some very interesting evidence. One killed by flying into some tele- j graph wires near Lowestoft had been 1 ringed at Rossitteu. Germany, a rpot SOO miles nearly due east. 17 months before; and curiously enough, another bird ringed at the same place on the same date was shot at I^owestoft on the same day. Another black-headed guli ringed in Cumberland is reported j to have been found at Cape Finistere. Swallows have proved the love of • home with which they are always cred | ited by returning, to the eaves of their English home after a journey of sev ! eral thousand miles to and from Africa. An interesting record is given in 1 | "British Birds" of the ringing of Eng ; lish tits. Some of these courageous ; little birds have been caught four j times at varying dates within the same neighborhood, and one particularly un suspecting bird was caught "almost every day.” One begins to think that he did it on purpose and entered into the game. It is hoped that naturalists all over the country will share in this game of ringing and catching birds. The rings do no manner of harm and the news 1 hey may convey is of the greatest In terest. Vacations Will Cost More. Chicago.—Summer vacations prob ably will cost more this year. An advance in summer tourist rates, both east and west, is being considered by the railroads and probably will be adopted. Heretofore the summer rate has been a fare and a third, plus $1.50. The new rate for the round trip prob ably will be a fare and a half. Man Proves Real Magnet.

From the very origin of the breed Shorthorns have had two qualities to commend them to favorable considera tion. and it is this dual capacity oi beef and milk production that has made them so popular with farmers and stockmen. As beef producers Shorthorns are “known of all men;” but their dairy qualities, though ex cellent when properly developed, are hot so generally understood. The ear ly history of the breed furnishes many instances of cows that were grant milk producers, says the North western Agriculturist. One of the earliest breeders to de velop milk production in his herd was Jonas Whittaker, and. as a re- > suit, his cows were known all over i England for their excellent dairy r " descendants proved excellent milkers many generations after Mr. Bates' herd was dispersed. Hence the pre vailing opinion that Shorthorn cows of exceptional dairy qualities should be sought among those carrying an in fusion of Bates blood has a founda tion in fact; yet there are exceptions and some uotable ones. Amos Cruickshank, who drew the attention of the beef producing world to the excellence of the Scotch Short horns. by the wonderful fleshing quali ties he had bred into his herd, was not unmindful of the dairy qualities of his cows, and in that mavelous herd of beef cattle were many matrons quite good at the pail. The large dairies that supply milk for London are composed quite large A Prize Winning Youngster. qualities. Even in the herds of the Booths, where beef form and fleshing quality was the first consideration, cows of heavy milk production were developed. Sir Charles Knightiey had a tribe known as the Fawsley Fillpails that did much to establish the fame of Shrothom cows as exee' lent at the pail. The herd of Thomas Bates was established about the yea. 1S00 and soon became the most noted in England. This herd was carefully bred for beef form and scon became the foun tain head from which other breeders drew their herd bulls; yet Mr. Bates w^s careful to cultivate the milking qualities of his herd, and in conse quence. had cows that give from 24 to 34 quarts of milk per day. So persistently did he impress this in this herd of cows that many of their j ly. and in some cases exclusively, ot Shorthorn c-ows. This is also true in part of dairies in Xew York and Xew England.

Better a dozen hens well cared for j than a hundred neglected. CARE FOR FARROWING SOWS To produce strong, healthy pigs, they must be looked after before they art> born. The sow must be cared for and fed properly if she is to give birth to a good litter of pigs. As a rule, the sow is neglected during this period, the owner seeming to think that the application of care and feed after she has farrowed is all that is required. We should know that a poorly nour ished mother means a weak, sickly litter of pigs. The question of shelter is an impor tant one. whether in the northern or southern states, although in the south —the far south especially—very little shelter except at farrowing time is needed. At farrowing time the mother should always be supplied with a build ing that will afford shelter from the rain and the wind for both the mother and the pigs until the pigs become dry. If the wind strikes the young pigs when they are first born they I will often chill to death. Each farm- i er can make his own shelter, to be !n 1 keeping with his surroundings, but probably the best and most econom ical building that can be made is a portable hoghouse. Separate the Pullets. Separate the pullets from the cock erels. as you would the heifers from the steers, and feed a less fattening ration, but one that will give vigor and constitution. ___ Hatching Turkeys. Turkey hens produce such a limited number of eggs that it is scarcely necoesary for their hatching, as the hens themselves can take care of all they lay. WATER FOR DAIRY COWS Important That the Three or More Gallons Given to Animals Daily tie 'Warmed to A boot 60 Decrees T. It Is very important that the water drunk by the cows giving three or mere gallons of ml'** daily be warmed to about 60 degrees F. Otherwise the cows will not drink as much as they need to keep up a good milk flow. It does not take much ice water to chill a thin-fleshed cow through and through on a cold winter day. especially when ( she is compelled to walk ‘some dis-' tance through the snow or a cutting wind to get to the tank or pond. Ex periments made at the Missouri state experimental station show that drink ing water is needed in proportion to the milk yield. That is. a cow giv ing six gallons of milk a day needs about twice as much water as a cow giving three gallons a day. If the wa ter Is too cold to be comfortable If drunk In large quantities, the cow will not drink enough, and as a result, will drop considerably in her milk yield. When Missouri Chief Josephine was giving about 100 pounds of milk each day last winter she drank dally about 31 gallons of water. Imagine how she would have suffered if that had been ice water. It was warmed, however, and Josephine did not chili ' after drinking. Green Feeding Worth While. If the best results are to be obtain ed with poultry they must be furnish ed plenty of green feed. Is a statement so often heard that its repetition seems silly; yet there are flocks on fairly prosperous farms where one would think the practice of regular green feeding had never been heard of.
