President National Editorial Association Declares News papers Must Give Sub stantial Aid to Cause of Law and Order. An urgent appeal to his fellow ed itors to aid the enforcement of law by refusing to publish sc-caiied jokes and sneers on the eighteenth amendment of the Federal Consti tution was made by J. C. Brimble com, editor of the Newton Graphic, acting president of the National Ed itorial Association, at the annual convention of that organization, meeting at Missoula, Mentana. Mr. Brimblecom said in part: "The n'ewspapei-s of this country, particularly the newspapers which go into the homes of our people, have a great opportunity at the pres ent time to give substantial aid to the cause of law and order by re fusing to publish any of the so-call ed jokes and sneers on the Eighteen th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. No matter what you or I may say or think as individuals, of merit or demer its of prohibition, we must never for get that it is the fundamental law of the land and is entitled to as much respect as the laws against murder, theft or treason. "For if you and I claim the priv ilege of violating, with impunity, the law regarding intoxicating liquors, we must admit the rights of others to violate any or all other laws re garding which they may have simi lar opinions. Such a condition spells anarchy, nothing less. There must be no discrimination in the enforce ment of law and every published joke or sneer regarding prohibition adds just so much to the general unrest which is altogether too prev alent in this country." New Publication on Feeding Pigs. Clemson College, Sept. 4.-Tests at various experiment stations have shown that it pays to feed hogs a balanced ration, but the problem which confronts most South Caro lina farmers is how they can balance rations most economically from feed available. In other words, how can hogs be fed to convert waste prod ucts, by-products, forage, pastures, and home grown gi'ain into meat to best advantage? With these problems in view, the Animal Husbandry Division of Clem * son College ha? recently conducted experiments on feeding weanling Corn and tankage were used in all the rations, other ingredients used in the different rations being fed dog flour, wheat middlings, wheat conclusions briefly stated are as fol bran, and ground oats. Some of the lows : 1. Red dog flour and wheat mid dlings proved superior to wheat bran or ground oats. 2. Pigs receiving red dog flour consumed more feed, made larger daily grains, and required less feed per hundred pounds of grain than pigs receiving wheat mi idlings. 3. The gains of pigs fed on red gains of those fed on middlings, dog flour cost slightly more than the 4. The feed cost of 100 pounds of gain varied from $6.28 to $7.09.

Some years ago a boy of sixteen years of age began attending ban quets as a reporter; and, in order that he might record the speeches more clearly, he determined to be a total abstainer. One night he at tended a banquet at which the Pres ident of the United States spoke; and being a poor stenographer, he asked the President if he would give him a copy of his speech. The pres ident said: Tell me, why did you refuse wine at the dinner this even ing?" The boy was surprised, but gave his reason. The next day the young reporter's paper had the only verbatim report of the speech. And there grew up a warm personal friendship between the President and the reporter, who were President Hayes and Edward W. Bok, for years editor of The Ladies' Home Journal. And Mr. Bok says of the incident: "It was a valuable friend ship which that young reporter made that evening. Other friendships were constantly made possible to him through it. And it is easy for me to look back and trace my starting point of acquaintance and opportun ities to that unexpected friendship with the President of the United States."-Young Crusader.

It is sometimes difficult to apply ortho- < dox business methods to many of the 1 operations on a farm, but exact rec- ] ords cf breeding, feeding, and pro- 1 duction in dairying can be kept and i must be kept if any great success is to be obtained. 1 The first essential of such records 1 is that they sensible yet thorough 1 enough to give any desirable infor mation. They should also "be final, ?' that is, requiring no copying. ' The Milk Sheet-This is a sheet J upon which the record of every milk ing of a cow is kept. This sheet may ? be for weekly or monthly periods, J The amount of milk may be deter- ?' mined by weighing on a milk scale graduated in pounds and tenths. ?' Such a scale can be purchased for a bout $4. The milk sheets can be to- 1 talecl at the end of each week or 1 month, and from these totals the yearly production ascertained. The ' value of the product from each cow can be figured from the price obtain- 1 ed during each month of the year. Feed Record-The amount of feed ; given to each cow should be record- '< ed. The grain should be weighed at : each feeding and the roughage, such : as silage and corn, occasionally. 1 From these records and the market ; price of the feeds, the cost of each : cow's feed is easily determined. At the end of a year's production : the records of each cow should be ' entered on a permanent sheet show ing whether the product exhibits a profit or loss above feed cost. Breeding Records-The most im- ; portant breeding i*ecord is that of : service. For this we need a sheet with place for name of cow, date of : service, name of bull, date of calv ing, sex, color, weight, and the dis- ? position of calf.-Farm and Ranch. Mothers and Babies From the beginning of the habita ble world, mothers and babies have been; as long as creation endures, j mothers and babies will be, yet it, has taken a good many hundred I years for us to realize that mothers j and babies, between them, hold in ! their hands most of the great ques-l tions of the day, and that when we 1 get ready to make the world really | safe for these two classes of the pop- j uiation, it will be a quite desirable j place in which- to-, live. I .V,*" \re sin en la riv ?hm?il '-*? into a sound, normal child; a sound, j normal child ought to, and will if it ? has a half a chance, grow into an ef- ! ficient desirable citizen. Reverse the J reasoning, and you see that the time j to begin to make efficient and use ful men and women is before they j are born. Oliver Wendell Holmes i told us this a long time ago, and j other great men have said the same i thing a great .'nany time?. Yet we are [ only beginning to get some idea of ! the profundity of this truth. In the United States we did not bother much about mohers and ba bies until after the twentieth cen tury was well under way. Then some few people began to get uneasy a bout our loosing countless hundreds of babies every year in the hot sum mer months, and began to disturb themselves about the quality of the milk supply, and to talk and write about the significance of a high in fant mortality rate. But most of the things that were done were in the nature of humanitarian efforts to relieve a present and intolerable con dition. The idea of preventing un necessary loss of life by preventing illness was hardly yet born in the public mind. The medieval notion that mothers must enter* the valley of the shadow alone and with little hope, still prevailed long after the leading physicians had reduced their maternal deaths to one or two per cent. It was not considered to be a public disgrace to doom a baby to life-long blindness from ophthalmia neonatorum, even though Crede's discovery of the efficiency of a cer tain treatment had been public prop erty for 40 years. We are all slow and stupid, as well as poor miserable sinners! but we can learn. Whether we shall pro tect our mothers and babies from unnecessary death, illness and suf fering by public or private means, by national or state agencies, they are bound hereafter to be somehow protected. A return to the old era of blindness and stupidity with its hid eous cruelties and immeasurable suffering, is unthinkable. Rather we shall go on to demand more and bet ter conditions for those with whom all the hope of the world rests mothers and babies!-Dearborn 'in dependent. Culling Pointers to Remember. As the fall culling advances, keep ;hese points well in mind. As the xanthophyll, the yellow col oring matter, is absorbed through ;he ovaries, by the yolks of all eggs produced, that portion deposited in ;he skin is reduced and bleaching follows. The vent bleaches fast. A bird ivith a white or pink vent is laying, aut it does not indicate how long it las been laying. The eye ring fades about as fast is the vent, just a afew days. It takes 12 to 15 days for ear lobes to fade, in small Mediterranean breeds. The beak loses color in si" fo eight weeks, beginning at base and gradually reaching the tip: The shanks fade in three to four months, beginning first in front, then the sides, the back last. The changes in pigmentation tell what a hen has done, not what"she is likely to do. The changes in pigmentation are actually the same in colored as in white breeds, but are more difficult to distinguish. . The pigmentation is somewhat de pendent upon the feed. Yellow corn and green growing crops are rich in xanthophyll, and the pigmentation following full feeding of these ma terials is strong. White or red corn and other grains are deficient in xan thophyll and persistent feeding? of these, without green feed, will re sult in bleaching, just as is the result of heavy egg production. This '"has been clearly demonstrated by tests with cocks and cockerels. The vent is large and moist in good lacers, dry and puckered in non-layers. Comb and wattles are large and full for breed and soft, to touch in layers, small, shriveled, with whitish scurf in non-producers. Pelvic bones (lay bones) are thin flexible and far apart in layers, and thick, close and stiff in non-layers. The layers back is broad and long, the non-layer's is narrow and short. -Progressive Farmer. Keep Dairy Utensils Clean Cleanliness is godliness, especially in the dairy business. All the sanitary precautions taken for housing the dairy herd will be of no avail if the utensils used in handling the milk are not kept clean, they must be sterilized, not simply washed, to re move i m mi rit.;.-? ? H*-4, - _v. ni cleaning the dairy u tensils. Other germs, those_ causing milk to sour, for instance, may te carried in the same way. All vessels should first be thor oughly rinsed with cold or warm wa ter-not hot-water, to remove aT. traces of milk, and then scalded with boiling water. Sterilizing with live steam is the best method of destroy ing germs. Although this is noe prac tical on all farms, every dairyman can do the next best thing, which is to boil all the vessels for a few min utes. When removed from the boil ing water, the vessels should be set upside down in a clean pince free from dust, so that they may drain thoroughly. If vessels are first washed with hot water, the albumen in the milk coagulates, and sticks. As a result the vessels will be sticky and greasy and hard to clean-harborers of germs. Frequently vessels, on being taken from boiling water, are wiped with a cloth teeming with millions of germs. In this way more germs are usually left than are removed. The boiling of the vessels is not for the purpose of removing dirt, but for de stroying germs. Hence, after boiling, the vessels should not be wiped, but set to drain and dry.-Farm and Ranch How You Can Keep Cool. Dr. William H. Evans, former Health commissioner of Chicago, tells one of the secrets of keeping cool, as publisher in the "How to Keep Well" column of The Chicago Tribune of July 17, as follows: "Drink no alcoholic beverages of any sort. In the first place drinking alcoholic beverages sends an exces sive amount of blood to the skin. The skin is about the only tissue of the body that can feel heat. The blood is hot. Therefore drinking alcoholic beverages makes you feel hotter than you are. "Comparing the summer of 1921 with that of 1916, we find that the former was much hotter. On the other hand, the deaths from heat in Chicago during 1921 were 26 as compared with 535 in 1916. "Most cases of sunstroke were cases of beerstroke, as this column has contended for years." 1 knew him when he was a hoy What one is there of us that has not felt the glow of satisfaction over the outstanding success of a life-long friend!

THESE high spots along the U. S. road to leadership indicate the intent-the will to win by the quab itv route in a price market.
