Washington. With the transmission of
the report of the national conservation
commission and accompanying papers.
President Roosevelt also sent a message
to congress. The following is a com
prehensive synopsis of the document:
The president declares his entire con
currence with the statements and con
clusions of the report and proceeds:
"It is one of the most fundamentally
important documents ever laid before the
American people. It contains the first in
ventory of its natural resources ever
made by any nation. In condensed form
it presents a statement or our available
capital In material resources, which are
the means of progress, and rails atten
tion to the essential conditions upon
which the perpetuity, safety and welfare
of this nation now rest and must always
continue to rest.
"The facts set forth In this report con
stitute an imperative call to action. The
situation they disclose demands that we.
neglecting for a time. If need be. smaller
and less vital questions, shall concentrate
an effective part of our attention upon
the great material foundations of na
tional existence, progress, and prosperity.
"The llrst of all considerations is the
permanent welfare of our people; and
true moral welfare, the highest form of
welfare, can not permanently exist save
on a Ann and lasting foundation of mate
rial well-being. In this respect our situ
ation Is far from satisfactory. After
every possible allowance has been made,
and when every hopeful Indication has
been Riven Its full weight, the facts still
Rive reason for grave concern. It would
be unworthy of our history and our in
telligence, and disastrous to our future,
to shut our eyes to these facts or at
tempt to laugh them out of court. The
people should and will rightly demand
that the great fundamental questions
shall be given attention by their rep
resentatives. I do not advise hasty or ill
considered action on disputed points, but
I do urge, where the facts are known,
where the public interest is clear, that
neither indifference and inertia, nor ad
verse private interests, shall be allowed
to stand in the way of the public good.
"The great basic facts are already well
known. We know that our population is
now adding about one-fifth to Its numbers
In ten years, and that by the middle of
the present century perhaps l."i0,000.000
Americans, and by its end very many
millions more, must be fed and clothed
from the products of our soil.
"We know now that our rivers can and
should be made to serve our people ef
fectively in transportation, but that the
vast expenditures for our waterways
have not resulted in maintaining, much
less in promoting, inland navigation.
Therefore, let us take immediate steps to
ascertain the reasons and to prepare and
adopt a compiehensive plan for inland
waterway navigation that will result in
giving the people the benefits for which
they have paid but which they have not
yet received. We know now that our for
ests are fast disappearing, that less than
one-fifth of them ar being conserved,
and that no good purpose can be met by
failing to provide the relatively small
sums needed for the protection, use. and
improvement of all forests still owned by
the government, and So enact laws to
check the wasteful destruction of the for
ests in private hands.
"We know now that our mineral re
sources once exhausted are gone for
ever, and that the needless waste of
them costs us hundreds of human lives
and nearly $r,00.000,COO a year. Therefore,
let us undertake without delay the in
vestigations necessary before our people
will be in position, through state action
or otherwise, to put an er4 to this huge
loss and waste, and conserve both our
mineral resources and the lives of the
men who take them from the earth.
"This administration has achieved
some things: it has sought, but has
not been able, to achieve, others; it
has doubtless made mistakes; but' all
it has done or attempted has been in
the i-ingle. consistent effort to se
cure and enlarge the rights and oppor
tunities f the men and women of the
Vnited States. We arc trying to con
serve what is jrood in our social sys
tem, and we are striving' towaid this
end whin we endeavor to do away with
what is bad. Success may be made too
hird for some if it is made too easy
for others. The rewards of common
industry and thrift may be too small
if the rewards for others, and on the
whole less valuable, qualities, are
made too largo, and especially if the
towards for qualities which are really,
from the public standpoint, undesir
able, are permitted to become too
large. Our aim is so far as possible
to provide such conditions that there
shall be equality of opportunity where
there is equality of energy, fidelity and
intelligence: when there is a reason
able equality of opportunity the dis
tribution of rewards will take care
of itself.
"The unchecked existence of monon
ply is incompatible with equality of
opportunity. The reason for the ex
ercise of government control over great
monopolies is to equalize opportunity.
We are lighting against privilege. It
was made unlawful for corporations
to contribute money for election ex
penses in order to abridge the power
of special privilege at the polls. Rail
road rate control is an attempt to se
cure an equality of opportunity for all
men affected by rail transportation:
and that means all of us. The great
anthracite coal strike was settled, and
the pressing danger of a coal famine
averted, because we recognized that
SASH HAS BECOME POPULAR.
Is Now Seen on Dresses of Every
Material and Character.
The next striking feature in the new
dress is the sash, which appears on
dresses of every material and char
acter. It is like the dress, or it is jet
black soft satin or crepe. It swathes
the waist or drapes the corsage; forms
bretelles and ceinture, or cross-waist
draperies, dropping at the side of the
front; or it hangs to the foot of the
dress at the back in long tasseled cr
fringed ends. Momentarily, at least,
the black sash is considered a little
more striking than those that match
the costume; but flowered sashes and
belts are preferred for the evening or
reception gown. The newest idea is
the adapting of the bayadere tying of
plain or flowered crepe or silk sashes.
They are caught up at the waist line
in the back, and brought to the front,
where they are loosely knotted, as low
as the knot of an eastern dancer's

making this country a better place for
Americans to live in. and our navy
was sent round the world for the same
ultimate purpose. All the acts taken
by the governmenKduring the last
seven years, and all the policies now
being pursued by the Government, fit
in as parts of a consistent whole.
"The enactment of a pure food law
was a recognition of the fact that the
public welfare outweighs the right to
private gain, and that no man may
poison the people for his private profit.
The employers' liability bill recog
nized the controlling fact that while
the employer usually has at stake no
more than his profit, the stake of the
employe is a living for himself and

"We are building the Panama canal;
and this means that we are engaged
In the giant engineering feat of all
time. We are striving to add in all
ways to the habitability and beauty of
our country. We are striving to hold
in the public lands the remaining
supply of unappropriated coal, for the
protection and benefit of all the people.
We have taken the first steps toward
the, conservation of our natural re
sources, and the betterment of coun
try life, and the improvement of our
waterways. We stand for the right
of every child to a childhood free from
grinding toil, and to an education; for
the civic responsibility and decency
of every citizen; for prudent fore
sight in public matters, and for fair
play in every relation of our national
and economic life. In international
matters we apply a system of diplo
macy which puts the obligations of
International morality on a level with
those that govern the actions of an
honest gentleman in dealing with his
fellow-men. Within our own border we
stand for truth and honesty in public
and in private life; and we war stern
ly against wrongdoers of every grade.
All these efforts are integral parts
of the same attempt, the attempt to
enthrone justice and righteousness, to
secure freedom of opportunity to all
of our citizens, now and hereafter, and
to set the ultimate interest of all of
us above the temporary interest of
any individual, class, or group.
"The nation, its government, and its
resources exist, first of all. for the
American citizen, whatever his creed,
race, or birthplace, whether he be rich
or poor, educated or ignorant, pro
vided only that he is a good citizen,
recognizing his obligations to the na
tion for the rights and opportunities
which he owes to the nation.
"The obligations, and not the rights,
of citizenship increase in proportion to
the increase of a man's wealth or
power. The time is coming when a
man will be judged, not by what he
has succeeded in getting for himself
from the common store, but by how
well he has done his duty as a citizen,
and by what the ordinary citizen has
gained in freedom of opportunity be
cause of his service for the common
goqd. The highest value we know is
that of the individual citizen, and the
highest justice is to give him fair
play In the effort to realize the best
there is in him.
"The tasks this nation has to do
are great tasks. They can only be
done at all by our citizens acting to
gether, and they can be done best of
all by the direct and simple applica
tion of homely common sense. The
application of common sense to common
problems for the common good, under
the guidance of the principles upon
which this republic was based, and by
virtue of which it exists, spells per
petuity for the nation, civil and indus
trial liberty for its citizens, and
freedom of opportunity in the pursuit
of happiness for the plain American,
for whom this nation was founded, by
whom it was preserved, and through
whom alone it can be perpetuated
Upon this platform larger than any
party differences, higher than class
prejudice, broader than any question
of profit and loss there is room for
every American who realizes that the
common good stands first."
Accompanying- the message are ex
planations anil recommendations of
work to be done for the future good of
tho country. The president says: "It is
especially important that the develop
ment of water power should be guard
ed with the utmost care botli by the
national government and by the states
In order to protect the people against
the upgrowth of monopoly and to in
sure to them a fair share in the bene
fits which will follow the development
of this great asset which belongs to
the people and should be controlled by
them.
"I urge that provision be made for
both protection and more rapid devel
opment of the national forests. Other
wise, cither the increasing use of these
forests by the people must be checked
or their protection against fire must
be dangerously weakened. If we
compare the actual fire damage on sim
ilar areas on private and national for
est lands during the past year, the
government lire patrol saved comme'r
cial timber worth as much as the
total cost of carinjr for all national
forests at the present rate for about
ten vears.
"I especially commend to congress
tho facts presented by the commis
sion as to the relation between for
ests and stream flow in its bearing
upon the importance of the forest
lands in national ownership. With
out an understanding of this ultimate
relation the conservation of both these
natural resources must largely fail.
"The time has fully arrived for rec
ognizing in the law the responsibility
to the community, the state, and the
nation which rests upon the private
ownership of private lands. The own
ership of forest land is a public trust.
The man who would handle his forest
as to cause erosion and to injure
stream flow must be not only educated,
but he must be controlled."
In conclusion the president urges
upon congress the desirability of
maintaining a national commission on
the conservation of the resources of
the country. He adds: "I would also
advise that an appropriation of at
least $30,000 be mad to cover the ex
penses of the national conservation
commission for necessary rent, assist
ance and traveling expenses. This is
a very small sum. I know of no
other way in which the appropriation
of so small a sum would result in so
large a benefit to the whole nation.'

Give the growing colts a light grain

Have the salt where the horses can

Do not neglect the farm orchard. It
should not only supply fruit for the
table the year round, but some to sell
as well.
The colt should have his first les
sons in leading when a month old. The
task is easy then. Later it is more of
a job.
The diseased trees should receive
prompt attention. Do not neglect
them until they are dead or dying. Try
to control the disease from the start
rather than let it kill the orchard.
Out of the 12 international live
stock judging contests held in Amer

times and on two other occasions

During stormy weather the colts
must be given shelter. 'All stock is
better where they are not compelled
to brave the harsh weather of winter.
Remember that it Is poor economy of
feed to compel the stock to keep
warm in the face of a cold north wind.
Prof. N. E. Hansen of the South
Dakota experiment station, has found

despaired of.
Sometimes when one sends away
for eggs for setting some of them
may become cracked. Do not throw
them away for if not too badly
cracked they may be incubated by
gumming a thin strip of tough paper
to the shell. In case of an egg
cracked during incubation the results
would depend to some extent on the
crack being patched over soon after
the break occurred.
If you are planning to build house
or barn or other farm building take
sufficient forethought to thoroughly
understand what Is involved in the un
dei taking. Good buildings are always
good farm investments. They. should
be convenient, sanitary, durable and
beautiful. If they are convenient, sani
tary and durable they will be beautiful
because beauty and utility are one and
the same thing in the end.
During wet spells it is well to look
over your land and note the places
where the water stands. This is
especially true in the orchard or gar
den. Plan to tile-drain such places. It
will pay you. It is next to impossible
to garden successfully in wet soils,
and almost all fruit trees refuse to
thrive in them. After draining these
low places, apply a barrel of lime to
sweeten the soil, which is likely to be
sour.
Getting a profit out of feed stuffs
depends upon the kind of cattle you
put it into. Figured to a fine point,
says the farmer, isn't the proposi
tion of full-feeding cattle some
thing like this: if you Iiavd gcod
steers, a good profit will be mads; if
you have scrubs, better save the corn
and let some one else try fattening
the steers. The cattle market is in a
bad way when it doesn't pay to feed
gcod steers. One cannot have good
steers without keeping a good class of
cows and an extra good male. The
finger of experience points to pure
breds, or as nearly pure bred as you
can afford.
Even in the winter time the lice
should be fought. Be sure that by
cleanliness and generous use of lice
killing preparations both on the chick
ens and in the coop you get the upper
hand of the pests. Now is the time
to begin to fight them to extermina
tion, so that by hatching time there
will be none to molest. Clean out the
henhouse as you would a room in the
dwelling house. Use coal oil freely,
painting all the roosts, nest boxes and
all parts where lice stay. Then give
'everything a good whitewashing with
a lime wash containing some carbolic
acid. Give about three such treat
ments between now and next spring,
and the victory will be yours.
Deep plowing offers special ad-vantages
to the farmer making as it does
for a condition of deep, humus-filled
soil. The United States agricultural
department enumerates the following
points which are worthy of special
consideration: It provides more food,
because it increases chemical action
and multiplies bacterial life in a
larger body of soil. It stores more
moisture and it loses its moisture less
rapidly on account of its cooler lower
strata and the presence of more
humus. It increases the number of
roots that a plant will throw out. It
allows plants to root deeper and find
permanent moisture. It largely ob
viates the necessity of terracing, be
cause it holds so much water in sus
pension that heavy rainfalls will go
to the bottom and be held by the drier
earth above until they can be ab
sorbed by the subsoil. Humus enables
the soil to store more mofsture, in
creases its temperature, makes it
more porous, furnishes plant food,
stimulates chemical action and fosters
bacterial life.

A drafty barn 'is about the worst

Oil meal or ground -flax seed makes
a splendid ration to overcome a ten
dency to constipation in the horses.
Earth floors which Ifipe well packed
and properly drained make ideal
floors for horses, being better than
concrete and even than planking.
Cows do not usually consume more
food than can be properly digested.
The ration, therefore, should be made
as palatable as possible, in order to
induce the cow to eat large quantities.
The young calf needs water, see that
she gets it. The calf that is to be
come a future dairy cow must have
the inclination and capacity of a heavy
drinker. She cannot give a large flow
of milk without drinking much water.
It is a reproach to any man to let
his horses' shoulders become score.
The trouble has either been caused by
the failure of the collar to fly properly
or it is due to the accumulation of
sweat and dirt upon the collar which
has been allowed to chafe the shoul
der until it has caused an abrasion of
the skin.
One stale egg will do more to dis
courage egg consumption than any
thing else, not even h'igh prices. The
farmer who knowingly gets rid of eggs
that are old is working against his owl
interests, for It 3oes not take the pur
chaser of his stock long to learn that
the bad is mixed with the good. This
not only lowers the price which he is
able to get for his eggs, but it makes
it increasingly hard to make sales.
Patch the thin places in your rub
ber boots yourself. To make the
cement needed take five cents worth
of rubber and dissolve it in benzine or
chloroform. Keep the bottle containing
the cement tightly corked. Wet first
with benzine for an inch or more
around the hole and scrape until clean
and a new surface exposed, then apply
the liquid rubber with a brush as
quickly as possible that it may not
harden.
In this day of efficient fire extin
guishers, no farmhouse or barn should
be without such protection. If often
happens that a fire is easily extin
guished when it is first discovered if
the means arc at hand for doing the
work. Here is a good formula which
will prove effective: Take ten pounds
of common salt and five pounds of
muriate of ammonia and dissolve in
four gallons of water. When dissolved
bottle it and keep for an emergency.
In case of. a -fire one or more bottles
should be thrown into the flames with
such force as to break them.
It is a good rule after a colt has
been weaned to give it about all the
feed it will eat. Never let a colt get
poor and become stunted, or a small
and inferior horse will be the result.
Furnish it an abundance of rich feeds
at all times, even though some of the
feeds must be purchased away from
the farm. Give it plenty of oats, wheat
bran and clover hay, all of which con
tain protein and mineral matter for
building muscle and bone. Allow it
plenty of free exercise so it will digest
and assimilate these heavy nitrogen
ous feeds.
Don't pull on the halter and beat the
colt over the head in the effort to
teach it to lead. Try this plan: Put
a quarter-inch rope around the body
at the flank and run the free end
through a slipping noose made at the
other end of the rope and forward be
tween the front legs up through the
halter ring. When ready to begin op
erations lay come to the colt and pull
on the halter rope. If it will not come,
give a short quick jerk to the rope
around the body. When this is repeat
ed a few times the colt will lead and
it will rapidly learn that obedience is
all that is wanted.
It is unfortunately true that most
dairy farniets do not keep any record
by which they can intelligently judge
the merits of the individual member
of the farm herd. The average dairy
man does not know how much it costs
to produce one pound of butter fat or
100 pounds of milk. Such records
have been shown to be essential to
good herd management where satis
factory profits are to be gained, and
in order to bring this fact forcibly to
the attention cf those who need it the
dairy department "of the Indiana ex
periment station has been investigat
ing dairy herd conditions in the
Hoosier state. The work was insti
tuted two years ago, and the station
has just issued a bulletin report cov
ering the performance of individual
cows in the herds studied. These rec
ords include a large number of herds
in our neighbor state, and because of
the natural reluctance of many dairy
men who refused to allow their herds
to be tested for fear they would fall
below others, they may be said to be
above the average for the dairy herds
of the state. However, tho facts re
vealed show up conditions which are
to be found not only in Indiana but in
all farming districts as well, and
which are anything bufa credit to the
great dairy industry of the country.
Great Dams.
With the completion of the vast ir
rigation works now being carried on
by the federal government in our
western states, this country will pos
sess three of the greatest dams in the
world. The Shoshone dam, with a
height of 32S feet, and the extremely
short length of 175 feet, will store
loG.000 acre-feet of water; the Path
finder dam, 215 feet high and 22C feet
long, will store 1,025,000 acre-feet;
while the Roosevelt dam, 2S4 feet in
height and 1.0S0 feet long, wHl store
1,284,000 acre-feet. The most notable
structure comparable with these is the
Assouan dam, which, after the work of
increasing its height has been com
pleted, will impound l.SGO.OOO acre-feet
oi water. -
HORSES KILLED IN BATTLS.
Fine Memorial to Them Erected In
" ' "South' Africa. "
London. Horses killed In battle
aow have a monument to their 'honor.
It recently has been erected at Port
Elizabeth; South Africa. When Lord
Byron put up an elaborate monument
to his dog, Bosun, everyone regarded
it as a mad caprice, but now a general
public subscription has been raised by
English people for the purpose of per
petuating the memory of "the services
af the gallant animals which perished
In the Anglo-Boer war. 1899-1902."
Monument to Dead Horses.
Pictures of this monument are being
sold in great numbers, mostly among
army officers, though the animal-loving
public is also buying them largely.
The first horse monument ever
raised by public subscription consists
of an oblong pile of granite on the top
of which are two figures a life-sized
bronze horse and a kneeling soldier
offering the animal its food. The fig
ures are beautifully executed. The
granite base of the statue serves a
utilitarian purpose by forming a fine
drinking fountain, both for man and
beast, a huge granite block being hol
lowed out into a trough, into which,
water flows from three spouts in the
form of lions' heads.
On the base of the monument is the
significant inscription: "The great
ness of a nation consists, not so much
in the number of its people, or the
extent of its territory, as in the extent
and justice of its compassion."
The services of horses in the South
frican campaigns were quite as es
sential as those of men. Many of the
rattles .were cavalry engagements, and
.roops had to be moved rapidly from
me part of the country to another.
Enormous numbers of horses were
requisitioned from all parts of the
.vorld, and the mortality among these
mimals was very great, though there
ire no definite figures at hand.
The monument to these "gallant
steeds" has been raised by small sub
scriptions from all parts of the British
empire; a large portion of the funds
coming from various "humane so
cieties" and from officers and men in
the army.
