WOMAN MAYOR TOURS CHICAGO

AFTER VISIT TO CAFES SHE SEES GREATER DUTY THAN FIGHTING GRAFTERS.

‘SAYS NONE HOST LEAVE TOEN Alma Har Town Ideal for Glria—To Stop Preaching and Begin Loving. Chicago.—Mrs. A. R. Canfield, mayoress of Warren, DI., who has attained the reputation of dominating a belligerent council of her village, probably will continue to fight for her administrative Ideas but she will throw into It the principle of sympathy quickened by what she witnessed on a slumming tour of this city. That, at least, was her manifest frame of mind when she ended, rather abruptly, her Inspection of the "bright lights" district at the time when there is most to be seen there.

Mrs. Canfield came to Chicago to study municipal methods through the glasses of Mayor Thompson and his aids. The Chicago mayor wasn’t here, so she accepted an invitation of equal suffrage friends and went forth to learn along another line. The tour extended from case to case In the sections of the city where life of a sort abounds at night. At‘the first place she was led to a corner removed from the dancers and the cabaret, but not so far away that she could not see what was going on. Near her sat a man and a young girl. Both drank high balls. Studying the girl for a moment, she turned to the dancers. Two of these, young girls, brushed closely past her chair, one of them snickering as she did so. When Mrs. Canfield looked again at her escort it was with tear-dimmed eyes. "Where are all their mothers?” she asked. In another case a girl seemingly in her teens came up close to Mrs. Canfield’s table and sang. A man a few few feet away tossed a quarter Into her hand. | "Let’s go,” said Mrs. Canfield. At still another place, in the heart of the old “red light” district Mrs. Canfield found practically the same thing. A man threw a lump of sugar at the entertainer and she went up to his table and sang. Mrs. Canfield ordered some food which she didn’t eat. Then she departed. “Doesn’t It feel good to be outside In the air—out here where it is dark,” she asked. "Somehow I know all this Is wrong and yet it takes all the fight out of me. "That girl we Just saw seemed so young and innocent. I couldn’t look at her and feel angry. Somehow I couldn’t even blame the world for making her presence there possible. “I heard once that bad is only good gone wrong. I never understood that until tonight. "Do you know what I believe? I believe that girls will continue to live that way until we get wisdom and tolerance —tolerance to'give us sympathy and understanding and wisdom to teach us that vice exists because people have studied how to make it attractive.

"Make virtue attractive, make vice abhorent; bring mothers where you have brought me; stop preaching and begin loving—this is the work that ultimately will be understood as the duty of suffrage—the privilege of women.” It was midnight when Mrs. Canfield returned to the home of her nephew, Edward W. Austin. "When I go back to Warren,” she said, "I will do everything in my power to make the town attractive to young girls. I will encourage dancing —probably municipal dances under proper chaperonage. If only I can keep Warren girls in Warren, I shall be happy.” The ‘good grandmother of Warren,” as Mrs. Canfield is called at home, was much Impressed by the municipal governmental machine of Chicago. "All these offices and great staffs of men and women ought to be able to accomplish anything they set out to do under proper direction,” she declared. "After all, it is to be remembered that Chicago is a city of 50 years only. I remember when it was merely a straggling village. In the period since the fire Chicago has changed from a straddlebug to a xnasto don.”

ALFALFA SEED PEST DANGEROUS

Harvesting Severely Infested Crops, Cleaning Fence and Ditch Banka, and Winter Cultivation, Are Methode Recommended. The alfalfa seed destroyer, known as the chaicis fly, does Its destructive work in clover or alfalfa seeds, from the gulf coast to the northern limits of the United States, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s specialist, who has personally seen the widespread devastation of this pest. By harvesting severely Infested crops, by cleaning fence lines and ditch banks, and by winter cultivation, the grower of alfalfa seed may help to control this insect A new Fanners’ Bulletin (No. 636) entitled “The Chalcis Fly in Alfalfa Seed," gives the details of these methods of control, and may be had free of charge on application to the department The chajcis fly under the microscope Is a formidable looking insect, but when seen in the field it is frequently confused with the gnat These pests may be seen in great numbers flying over alfalfa seed shocks and swarming over the sickle bar when the alfalfa is being cut The eggs are so smah as to be invisible to the naked eye, and are deposited through the soft, green pods directly into the soft seeds when the pods are about half grown. Immediately upon becoming a fly the insect eats Jts way out through the shells of the infested seeds, then through the green pods. Large portions of the seeds are hollowed out in this manner when they are still green and growing. The infested seeds, which still contain the living larvae of the insect, may be recognized by their abnormal shape and usually by the dull brown color. Some of the infested seeds, however, retain their natural color, but they always lack the glossy appearance of normal seeds. The extent to which alfalfa seed is damaged by the fly is not generally apparent, owing to the minuteness of the insect and because its destructive work is accomplished within the growing seeds. The alfalfa seed grower can only estimate the percentage of his crop destroyed by opening a large number of the seed pods and observing the infested seeds.

Alcohol Distilleries Aid to German Agriculturalists

The Importance that alcohol distilleries may assume in scientific agriculture is pointed out in a recent professional paper published by the U. S. Department of Agriculture under the title of “Agricultural Alcohol; Studies of its Manufacture In Germany.” The results of the author’s study indicate that the manufacture of alcohol for technical purposes, not for human consumption, is not regarded in itself as a profitable business but as a necessary factor,in general farming. The distilleries provide a market for Germany’s enormous potato crop, which in turn has made I possible the profitable cultlavtion of (large tracts of light sandy soil in the east. The spent mash again is returned to the farmers from the distilleries and used as feed for cattle which furnish manure for the enrichment of the soil. On account of the pressure of the population and the desire to cultivate as'large an acreage as possible German farmers have not been raising as much live stock as would be good agricultural practice, and anything that tends to stimulate them, in this direction is regarded as most de?’rbale.

Approximately six thousand potato distilleries are no’frjln operation in the German empire. Many of these are co-operative distilleries in which it is interesting to note that the cooperators do not hold, shares having a certain money value, but possess the privilege of calling dally for a certain quantity of spent mash. To the potato crop itself an eighth of the arable land in the German empire is now devoted and the production is enormous.

In some Instances crops of more than 535 bushels per acre have been harvested, while yields of 300 to 375 bushels are quite common. Although •such yields are produced only under favorable circumstances, it seems obvious that the total yields can be very considerably Increased if new uses for alcohol can be discovered to create the necessary demand. At the present time in the, easterns provinces It Is the price of spirits which regulates the price of potaotes.

Wire Fencing and Trees

In running wire fences it may be necessary or desirable to attach the wires of trees along the fdta.ce lines. In many regions old fence rows have grown up naturally to trees; in others, windbreaks have been planted between fields, making tree lines to which wire fencing may be attached without the labor and expense of setting posts. In attaching wires to trees, however, it is bad practice to fasten them directly to the trees, for when this is done the wire will be grown over and embedded within the tree itself. This has a number of disadvantages. Not only do the wounds mar the appearance of the tree, but they also afford entrance for diseases which cause decay. In the second place, is the tree la ever cut for lumber either the best part of the trunk has to be thrown out and wasted, or else if the wires and staples are deeply embedded, the tree may be sawed into without any knowledge on the part of the sawmill men that the wires are there. The results are likely to be disastrous to the saw, and may even endanger human life. Further, ft is impossible after the wire Is grown over to move the fence without cutting the wire or chopping deep Mo the tree, .

THE SLAUGHTER OF CALVES

Owing to the Increased Demand For Veal It Is Rapidly Increasing \ 1 The of young calves is one of the .serious phases of the problem of the maintenance of our country’s beef supply. Statistics indicate that the slaughter of such animals is Increasing rapidly, due primarily to an increase in the demand for veal, in spite of the fact that veal is ordinarily sold at an extremely high price per pound. These veal calves are largely ‘drawn from the dairy districts, but, with the growth in the demand for veal, other sections are marketing as veal In considerable numbers calves that, if kept and fattened, would have made good beef steers. The market for Stockers and feeders Is therefore affected.

Various suggestions have been made to prevent this, even such radical ones as legislation to prohibit entirely the slaughter of calves. The fact is not always recognized, however, that this practice is purely economic. In dairy districts, milk production is the chief business and calves are an incident, valuable only to replenish the milking stock or for such revenue as may be obtained from their s&le as veal. As the average dairyman must keep the number of his milkers at a maximum, economy demands that he relieve himself of his surplus calyes as soon as possible There Is not ordinarily any market for such calves except for veal, they become. The slaughter of calves in districts which are not exclusively devoted to dairying probably has as its governing factor a market near by which pays more for calves as veal than as stackers.

A comparison of English and Amer- . lean methods in this respect sheds some light on this problem. In England men make a business of buying young calves throughout the dairy districts to be raised on milk substitutes and subsequently fattened for beef. In England the dairy cows are largely Shorthorns whose calves are valuable for beef production. In the United States, on the other hand, the cows of the dairy districts are principally of the strictly dairy breeds (pure breds or grades) or natives with no breeding, and the calves from such cows have, have, as a rule, little value as feeders for beef, but make good veal. As the calves in a dairy herd are not a paramount importance, a system of breeding which would Increase their value for beef production would not necessarily decrease the dairy value of the herd when grade or native cows are used. If such cowh were bred to beef or dual-purpose bulls, the calves would have considerable value as stockers. .This practice would not be warranted, however, unless there wa a nearby market for such stockers. It must also be observed that this tlce necessitates raising calves by hand, largely on milk substitutes, which add to the expense, and calves so fed are not so easily raised as where they follow the cow until weaned naturally. The labor item is likewise important, as this system demands not only a considerable amount of labor but of skill also. In England skilled farm labor is cheaper than in the United States. Another possible solution of the problem would be an Increase in mutton consumption In the United States. We consume annually per capita 7% pounds of veal, which is 4 per cent of our total meat consumption; the people of Great Britain eat 4 pounds of veal per capita annually, which is 3 per cent of their annual per capita meat consumption. We consume 6% pounds of mutton and lamb per capita, which is whereas the British people consume 26 pounds of mutton and lamb per capita, which is 22 per cent of their annual meat consumption. An increase in our mutton consump-. tlon at the expense of the consumption of veal would, of course, tend to make calves less valuable as veal an dwould encourage a system of breeding which would brirfg them into demand as stockers. An Increase in mutton consumption would also encourage the farm raising of sheep, and this could be brought about on dairy farms without affecting the economy of management from the dairy standpoint. A small flock of sheep on a farm will increase the productiveness of the farm, keep the farm clean of weeds, and add to the family meat supply without entailing serious additional expense for feed, labor or shelter.

Baby Chicks

The baby chick Business seems-to be crowding out the setting egg ordders to a large extent A great many people prefer to pay for the chicks rather than buy the eggs and take a chance on incubating them. Probably the number of chicks hatched in a season is considerably Increased by this arrangement as the large hatcheries can get better results than shipping the same eggs to fifty or a hundred small incubators to be hatched. At any rate the purchaser is sure of getting the number of chicks that ho wants.

Those familiar with the eastern mistletoe only have no idea of the great losses due to this pyasite In the forests of the west, where it counts next to fire and insects In the amount of damage-done. At least 25 per cent of the larch timber over large areas in eastern Oregon has been killed or weakened by mistletoe, and the forest service is taking steps to combat the pest It Is estimated that the govern* meat's Grand Canyon game refuge, in Arizona, now contains about ten thou-
