THINGS
BANKS 1
Look Into Smallest Details
a Man is Posted For NonThey
Know It?The Tim<
Excites Their Interest?Th
A young man who had lived for
ten or a dozen years in tho apart
ment house in one of the downto.wn
sections recently married and moved
up to University Heights. Not long
after his marriage he and his wife
decided to open a charge account at
one of the large stores.
The young man was surprised when
the day after making the request for
the account a representative of the
store called and inquired if he were
the same A. B. Blank who had lived
at , naming his former address.
He 'lowed as how he was and the man
went away satisfied.
This interest in your affairs on the
part of the store is mild indeed compared
with the deep curiosity which
a bank evidences in the customer's
affairs. According to System the answer
to the question "What does
your bank want to know about you?"
is "Everything from the time you get
to your office to the total of your bills
receivable."
A merchant in a large city allowed
liis name to be posted in big club
throe times for non-payment of dues.
A few days after the last posting he
applied to his bank for a loan. When
the application came to the bank's
credit man that individual pulled out
the customer's history card.
The latest entry was one typewritten
sentence: "Does not pay his club
dues; three times delinquent." The
loan was refused. The merchant was
careless, near broke or unappreciativc
of his credit standing; any of
these reasons looks bad to the banker.
As an asset integrity is considered
more important than property itself.
jv wen Known creuit reporting agency
defines integrity:
"Business and social honor.
"Personal deportment.
"Character of associates.
"Reputation."
Ability is measured thus:
"Age and health.
"Business experience.
"Education.
"Income by personal effort (very
Important)."
Tangible assets, or property, mean:
"That which can be taken undei an
execution.
"And whether personally acquired
or inherited.
"Qualified by income.
i\ec weaitn (very important)."
In gathering its material for reports
it grades its credit requisites
like this:
"Ability: relatively essential.
"Integrity: absolutely essential.
"Property: not necessarily essential."
Analyze the bowlings as furnished
by this credit reporting company, you
will see that practically everything
pertaining to your personal and business
life is reflected in the flies of the
bank.
These flies, unfortunately for the
careless borrower, are not always secret

ling of what the files contain, yet
every bank in your town may know.
There Is a sort of free-masonry among
modern banks, arrfl ifliey freely exchange
credit information or even
volunteer it. So if you are turned
down by the Tenth National Hank because
you are slow in paying for your
automobile or for frequenting the
ball park daily you may be tolerably
Kiire that the Eighth or Ninth National
Bank will not be ignorant of your
failings.
An Eastern wholesale merchant developed
a liking for society, golf and
yachting. In the popular eve he was
rich. Even some of the hanks were
freo to accept his optimistic statements
and his loans aggregated a
large sum. One day, under the influence
of a good dinner, he confided to
a banker friend his conviction that
most business men work too hard.
"There are two kinds of organization,"
he said. "One is organization
of work; the other for leisure. I have
developed my business to the point
where my organisation almost takes
care of Itself. That is why I am able
to spend so much time in recreations.
"I have reduced the thing to a system.
In two hours at my desk I can

tind ko downtown in my auto so as
to reach the oillce at 11. Iiy 1 o'clock
I am through with my day's work. I
seldom go back after luncheon. It's
nil in the system."
The banker repeated this conversation
next morning to his associates at
the bank. They looked up the wholesaler's
card records and found that he
was up to the limit. The "maximum
loan" column showed big for many
months, while the "average balance"
column indicated anything but
strength.
"He's carried his 'organization for
leisure' far enough," declared the
credit man. "I think we'd hotter give
Iiiin an opportunity to organize for
work."
So the wholesaler was politely re(ft
i -ill /it) fln? i \ ffi? i/I #? n t i twl
I " * "" v.?v? |?. ? '?"?
was told that his line of credit must
be heavilj reduced at once. Ho was
angry, and declared that he could net
any accommodation he wanted anywhere
in town. He would take up
' nia notes Immediately, ho said, and
ilso close out his account.
1 Within two hours the hank's crcdit
man received three Inquiries over the
telephone from credit managers for
other banks. All were told the truth,
utraight and dutallwd.
WANT TO KNOW
5 About Customers?When
Payment of His Club Dues
; He Reaches His Office
ey Tell Each Other.
i From one standpoint the bank was
hurting its own cause by giving the
information to the inquiring banks,
for by withholding the facts it would
have aided the wholesaler to borrow
money elsewhere and thus take up his
paper.
But the credit man looked at the
thing from a broader viewpoint. Some
day he would want a similar tip himself
and he would depend on the
truthfulness of his fellow credit men,
even though they worked for banks
that competed with his own. It was
not to his Interest to "stick" any
bank. Instead It was to the mutual
Interest of all the banks to eliminate
the undesirable borrowers from the
common field.
So the wholesaler went from bank
to bank attempting to borrow, and
was amazed at the unanimity of the
refusal. It Is doubtful whether he
ever know the real reason. He did
awake to the fact, however, that his
business was not as well organized
for leisure as he had supposed. He
got down to hard work before he
cleaned up his bank indebtedness.
An Eastern manufacturer of a staple
line had long enjoyed a fair line
oi create hi nis Dank. Now for several
months his loans increased: he
did not seem willing to clean up. Part
of his account matured. He wanted
to renew. The hanker asked him
why he wasn't reducing his line,
whether his business was falling off,
whether he had any drains on his capital.
The manufacturer's answer was expanding
business, more outstanding
accounts ? entirely optimistic. Too
optimistic, the banker concluded. Ho
started his credit man on a quiet investigation.
Ho discovered that the manufacturer
was spending only half his time
:'.t liis office: the other half he de
voted to another manufacturing concern
in the eity. Through the latter's
bank it was learned that the manufacturer
owned a $4 0,000 interest in
the new industry. This he had never
reported in his statements. The
banker sent for him and asked an
explanation.
"The founder of this business was
an old friend of mine," he explained.
"He owned patents on plumbing devices
that had a big market, but ho
lacked capital. He offered me a
chance to invest some of my earnings.
It looked good, so I went in.
It is good, too."
"But you were borrowing money
from 11Q '' nrntncfn/I 4-li 1.., l. ~ - *' *
.. ?, }?* wwuvcu nic i;uui\('l , tllUI
were under obligations at least to
keen us Informed of your investments.
You -wore investing our
money in this other concern, for you
were putting there what you need for
your own expansion and trying to
borrow from us."
"I considered your claims well ?ecured,'*
the manufacturer answered,
"and I did not want to figure just yet
in this plumbing concern. I was
afraid my creditors would not all understand
the proposition and It
might hurt my business."
It did hurt his business. The bank,
its faith in him lost, forced him to
settle. This drained the ready cash
of the second concern, and its bank
refused further favors. Just then
new competition developed in the
plumbing devices. At I ho time it
needed help most it couldn't get it.
Within two years it was forced to sell
out at a loss.
The manufacturer himself found
his credit damaged. The banks, In
touch with each other through their
credit departments, were not inclined
to loan. He was forced to an assignment.
Had this man played absolutely
open with his bank and told it
his ttlnns hfith rnnenrno
less have been properly financed. The
bank wants to know, and deception
by silenco wins its distrust as fast as
dishonesty.
Rafting on the Delnware.
Two rafts of hemlock logs, belonging
to "Deacon" Mitchell, of Callicoon,
N. Y., were started down the
Delaware River from above Bquinunk
Tuesday. One, a "three hundred
raft," passed the Lackawaxen dam
Wednesday afternoon about 4
o'clock; the other, a larger raft,
earlier in the afternoon.
There is a fair freshet in tho Delaware
and th' timber reached lt? destination,
Belvidere, N. J., Friday. So
far as heard from these are the only
two rafts that descended the Dela
waro tne present spring. This is a
striking contrast compared with tho
number of rafts run on tho Delaware
thirty years ago, when during a regular
freshet several hundred would
pass a given point dally for perhaps a
week.?Philadelphia Record.

Rotating Crops Advisable. I
Rotation of crops is advisable.
Roots of corn spread over an area f
not fed upon in its entirety by roots 1
of oats, wheat or clover. Root sys- 1
teqis of unlike crops are variable in 1
their construction and plant food *
made available one season is apt to
be lost In drainage water unless 1
various crops are grown in rotation ?
on the same area. Remember, the 1
soil is a compound which can be ex- 1
hausted of lta components used by 1
plants as food. Plow under one crop 1
every four years to supply nitrogen; 4
buy phosphorus in the form of rock 1
phosphate, and plow and cultivate 1
well to release potassium. Big crops 1
will result, and the soil will remain 1
productive. ^

Farm Profits. ^
The farm of the Jarvis brothers, at
Fly Cre#k, In Otsego County, has become
a subject of controversy. A
correspondent of one of the agricul- c
tural papers summed up what the a
Jarvis brothers'have been doing, and c
Biuieu mat wun an investment of v
$20,000, only $8000 of it in real es- i
tate, forty-flve head of cattle, $500 a
worth of farm help a year and insurance
and taxes of only $50 a year, the ji
Jarvis brothers make an annual profit a
above all expenses of $5450. i;
"Incredible," exclaims a doubter, n
who merely forces the correspondent d
to proceed to prove his words. The v
correspondent adds, ' truly enough, J
that there are other dairymen who, r
with incdeat Investments, are doing a a
good deal better than the Jarvis o
brothers. lie doesn't need to quote a
the classic case of the Rev. Josiah ti
Detrlch, who some years ago bought v
a fiftoen-acre farm near Philadelphia, t
with a mortgage <?? $7 200, paid off y
the mortgage In six years, and made u
that piece of ground provide rough- p
age for thirty head of stock, which e
yielded $2400 a year for the sale of u
milk alone. The Detrlch cows gave
but 4S00 pounds of milk on the aver- n
age a year. The Jarvis cows are said u
to average 10,000 pounds. c
Mr. Detrich became so famous that t
visitors overran his little plot of i
ground and he had to sell It,, but t.i
conspicuous success in dairying is not o
so rare now as it was then.?Syracuse f

How to Tend Chicks. f
When chicks are from twenty-four
to thirty-six hours old they are ready
to be moved from the incubators to
c
the brooder house. Put them in ^
hovers nearest the furnace. Be sure
to have heat up in hovers at Least g
twelve hours before the chickens are
put In, to insure the hovers to be
warm and dry. There should be dry ^
sand well sprinkled over hover floors, t
or some road dust; sand Ls the best, j.
Let the chickens alotre until they are y
thirty-six hours old, then feed them t
noine oatmeal well rubbed up in the
hands. Feed this for a few days, also ^
some green evaporated boneuieal and
chicken grit. Give water and milk In j.
fountains, made by inverting; some a
tin fruit cans over saucers, first cutting
a notch Ln the edgo of the can
about one-quarter of an inch deep.
Such a fountain will keep chicks dry t
I ana me urirtK will bo kept clean. 1
When chicks are a few days old begin t
to feed a chicken food containing i ^
meat and grain. Feed five or six
times dally. On the south side of the j,
brooder house have roomy yards sown t
to rape for chicks when they are a
week old to run In, and also provide r
rape for cutting and feeding them j
later on when the yard rape is used r
up. This method of rearing chickens j
is more of a pleasure than work. Use
plenty of whitewash in houses; put ^
it on with compressed air sprayer? ^
that is the best thing for the purpose* j
Fill every crack and crevice that can j
be fllle" in this way and the job is ;
quickly ^one. During warm months j
spray yards and hovers with sulphuric t
acid and water. Four ounces of the j
acid to three gallons of water. This c

Stable Walts.
T am now fully convinced that the i
best stable wall is a hollow wall or I
space of rot less than eight inches
filled with cut straw if possible; if 1
not, with whole straw. Five years <
ago I built a stable; a jmrt of the i
wall is a single air spacc and a part !
has a double air space. There was '
no indication of moisture on this wall 1
until last winter, but 1 (bought it was
uue 10 uic extreme ami unusual low
temperature. This year, however, it
is even worse. Upon close examlna|
tion I found the outside ceiling was
checking here and there, and the
paint was also losing its grip until
many small openings were forming
which permitted cold air to enter and
come In contact with the inside ceiling
and so destroy the dead air space.
A dead air space is one In which
there is positively no movement of
i air. Two openings the size of a lead
! pencil would he sufficient to destroy
this dead nlr chamber in a space of
100 feet long. I have thorefore commenced
stalling this air chamber with
straw by taking out occasionally a
board and the surface soon dries off.

It, yet the system cannot keep a cold

Malting Good Mutter.
In ?rder to produce a good quality
if butter, two very essential things
ire, good care and good food for the
ows. The cows must be provided
with clean bedding and the stables
leed to bo kept clean, well lighted
,nd ventilated.
Uefore the milking begins on my
ilace the sides and udders of the cows
re carefully brushed, thus preventng
dirt and dust from falling Into the
n'lk. The milking is done with clean,
ry hands; to milk with wet fingers
would be an extremely filthy habit,
list as soon as the milk Is drawn
rorn the cow it Is strained through
wire gauze and three thicknesses
f checse cloth. All the milk utensils
re thoroughly cleaned after being
sed, by first washing them in lukewarm
water, next in hot water, and
hen thnv nr? in i?r>in?.r
,-ater. Every dish or cloth that is
sod in connection with the milk is
ut in a clean place, where there is a
irculatiou of pure air, after being
sod.
The cream fa separated from the
liik with a hand separator and lu-ld
ntil there is a sufficient quantity to
hum. The churning is clone threo
imos each week with a barrel cliurn.
n preparing the churn ami the bntpr-worker
for use, they are thorughly
scalded with boiling water beore
the cream fa put into the churn
r the butter on tfie butter-worker.
l thorough scalding and cooling of
he butter-worker prevents the butter
rom sticking to ft.
The cream is strained into the
hum through a hair sieve and the
hurn is never 111 led more than -half
nil of cream. The churn is net
urned very rapidly, and is stopped
?veral times at the beginning to remove
the cork, so as to allow the esape
of gases. When the cream beins
to break, care is exercised not
o gather the butter granules into one
arge Tump. The churning ceases
/hell the butter nartieles are *hont
he size of wheat kernels. Then the
hum ia fastened and the buttermilk
rawn off.
When the butter is well drained
roni the buttermilk., it is rinsed with
i little water, and after this has
rained away the cork is put in the
hum and cold water added. The
over is then put on the churn* and
he churn revolved slowly six or eight
lines; the water is now drawn off and
ho buttor left to drain for about,
ifteen minutes.
When the butter is well drained It
3 ready to salt, and this is done in
ho churn when the butter js in granilar
form. About) one and ono-half
>unoes of salt are used for every
>ound of butter. This insures the
ight amount of salt when the butter
s finished.
It is a very easy matter to work
?utter too much and have It greasy.
We never work the butter with the
lands, because the warmth of the
finds will make it greasy and give
t a salvv appearance. We uso the
ever worker and press the lever on
he surface, and occasionally fold the
Hitter over with a larilo Tho Iovhp
if tho butter-worker or butter paddle
s never allowed to slide over tho
surface of the butter, but is preased
straight down when working the but?r.
Tho butter is pressed into square
>nc?pound prints and carefully
wrapped with parchment paper which
tias been soaked in trait water a few
minutes before being used. The butler
is sold in our local market, except
what is used at home, and practically
ill the milk is fed to tho chickens,
tiogs and calves.
By following the above method In
making butter we nover fail to pro
auce n proa net or tlrst quality, which
sella for from two to Ave cents per
pound more than most that offered
by others. I think that more of our
country butter would bo far better
than it is if care was exercised in
making it. One of the mistakes mad#
by many is in not churniifg the cream
when It has reached the proper stage
of ripeness and at tho right tempera
ture.
A proper handling of the milk ii
very important. Too often it is drawn
from the row in stables In which the
air is filled with dust and put in urn
clean vessels. Cleanliness in
things nnd at all times is a l0 ^ * i
most essential If good butter Is uc ''
