The International The results of the past International Livestock Exhibition should fill every breeder with enthusiasm. There has never been a year in which such remarkable interest has been manifested in good livestock prices of $31,000 and $9,000 for Hereford and Shorthorn sires tell their own story. In the fat classes, the winning of all the Championships and grand Championship by the steer herd from Purdue is a distinct victory for Indiana. It may be of interest to know that about six weeks ago Shorthorn breeders of Jasper county had an option on the sire<®of this herd, but finally turned him down in favor of younger animal. His introduction at this time would have been the making of the pure-bred beef business of this locality. John R. Lewis of Barkley township won all the breed championships on Hampshire boars and did remarkably well in class. Charles Fleming, a director of the Jasper-Newton county Hereford Breeders’ Association purchased a herd leader at the Internationl sale at Ardmore brought the $31,000. The alrge number of Jasper county farmers who attended the show came home convinced that good livestock production has never had a brighter outlook and determined to improve their herds.
Rural Engineering School. ” Plans for the Rural Engineering Short Course to be held at Rensselaer, January 2nd to sth, are complete. |This will be held by the cooperation of the County Better Farming Association, the implement dealers and the Extension Rural Engineering Division of Purdue University. Prof. C. D. Kinsman of Purdue has arranged for following program :■ — Jan. 2nd. “Rop Splicing and Knot Tying Dem onstration. ” Demonstration “Use of Cement and Its Adaptability to the Farm.” Jan. 3rd. Home Convenience Day. “Water and Lighting System.” “Heating Systems and Cream Separators.” Jan. 4th.Farm Machinery Day. “Adjustment and Care of Grain and Corn Planters.” “Adjustment arid Care of Graip binders and Mowers.” Jan. sth. Farm Power Day. “Principles and Care of Gas Engines.” “Use of Farm Tractors, their Construction, Care, Operation and Management.” The purpose of the school is to give practical instruction upon the management and operation of all farm machinery. Some of the best talent that the United States offords has been secured to have charge of the different programs. Manufacturers have loaned the most extensive display of farm machinery and home conveniences ever shown in Jasper county for this school. The committees in charge have been hard at work and hope to give the people most practical and instructive farmer’s short Course ever held in the county. The sessions will begin at ten o’clock each morning and continue until four in the afternoon. Being held in connection with the County Corn and Poultry Show, the committee feels that it is doubly worth while for anyone to attend all sessions. The meetings will be held in Horton’s Airedome.
Farmer’s Clubs The Weatfield Center Farmers’ club will hold its regular meeting on Thursday evening, December 27th. This will be a very important Soil Improvement Meeting and a committee will report upon the marl supply of the township. The West Carpenter Farmers’ club will hold its regular meeting at the Welsh school house Friday evening, December 28th. Plans for an institute and corn show will be discussed. The following program has been arranged for the West Carpenter meeting. Song—America—By all. Recitation “How Father Snores” Burington Jones.

Debate—“ Can a Tenant Afford To Feed His Half of the crop to Livestock, While the Landlord Markets His?”—Howard Jones and Will Ott. A Christmas Pageant—Bethlehem —Young People. A good crowd will be welcome. 0
More and Bettor Oats. Many farmers to treat their seed oats to prevent smut for the reason that when sowing time comes they want to get the crop in without delay. A method had been devised whereby seed oats may be treated at any time and placed back in the bin until spring. “Dilute one pint of formaldehyde with one pint of water and pour into a quart hand sprayer such as is commonly used in stables to keep the flies away. This will treat 60 bushels of seed. While the oats are being shovelled from one pile to another, spray each shovelful, pile in a heap and cover for five hours.” This will enable the busy fanner to treat his seed oats at any time, he can spare a few hours. Does it pay?, We are collecting a number of experiences.. Fanners who have used it certainly

say that it does. ,
Poultry Drive
Leo J. Brosemer of the U. S. Department of Agriculture who was to address the poultry meeting arrived too late on account of delayed train service to appear. Mr. Broesmer will attend the County Poultry Show Jan. 1 to sth, and expects to arrive for an active poultry campaign in the county to promote early hatching, better feeding and brooding. Poultry production is probably as highly developed as any part of the livestock industry in Jasper county, and this work should meet with general approval.
Snyder Talks on Incubation
One of the best talks delivered at a farmers’ meeting was given by Jesse Snyder, the well known poultry farmer last week on “Incubation.” In the course of his remarks he stated that the 100 eggs size will usually give the best results, that the temperature had much to do with the amount of cooling necessary and the moisture control is one of the most important factors in a strong hatch. - . Mr. Snyder is a public spirited man and available for other Clubs desiring information upon the subject. Mr. Snyder hatched over 6,000 chicks last season.
The Poultry and Corn Show
Every farmer who exhibits at the County Poultry and Corn Show will be well repaid for this . trouble whether he wins any premiums of not. Competition creates interest and a little more interest in poultry and corn is bound to result in better quality in these two products. Bring in your exhibits.

WAR TALKS
By UNCLE DAN
Nttmbtr Ont
America Must Fight Hard or Germany May Win—Necessity for Military Training.
“Now, Billie,’’ said his mother, “your Uncle Dan la coming tomorrow to spend a week with us on the farm, and if you want to know about the war, here’s your opportunity. Uncle Dan is probably one of the best-informed men In the country” Billie clapped his hands and gave such a whoop that he wakened the baby, but what could you expect of » fifteen-year-old boy who Is a living interrogation point and wants to know about war? Uncle Dan arrived in due time and Billie watched for an opportunity. It came that evening after dinner when Uncle Dan had lighted a cigar and taken a seat on the porch. “I’m mighty glad you came, Uncle Dan. I want to talk to you about the war. We have just put military training in our township high school, but we had a hard time to do it. The Joneses and the Greggs objected. They said the war wouldn’t come over here. Grandma Jones said: “They ain’t no use to worrit, it will soon blow over.’ Well, we put the training In just the same. You orter heard Judge Brownell, the president of the school board, do the slackers up. He said unless we take off our coats and go to It, Germany may yet win, and If she does, she will take over the great British fleet as a war trophy and compel us to do what ever she wants to; that she could make us pay all the cost of the war; the kaiser could tax us as he pleased and that we couldn’t help ourselves. He could make every one pay over a part of what he earns; that he could make the farmers pay rent for their own farms, etc. Now, Unde, what do you think of that?"
“Well, my boy," said Unde Dan, “all that Judge Brownell says might easily come true and may unless we go quickly to the aid of the allies with large numbers of men and help them break the German line. Unless we can beat the submarines, they may prevent us from getting enough food to tho allies to keep them going. In that case Germany would win. As matters stand today, our greatest need is trained men. If we had had several millions of men with military training in our industries and on our farms when the war came, who could have been called at once for service, I do not believe the kaiser would have forced the war upon us. As it was, he had no respect for us, and now we are in It arid must go through with It But never again must we be caught so wholly unprepared. "There is only one safe way,” said, Uncle Dan, “and that is to adopt permanently universal military training, apply it to every young man who is physically fit say in his nineteenth or twentieth year. The training can be carried forward in the United States training camps that are now being established for training men called by the selective draft As soon as these men vacate these stations, they should be filled by younger men, and this shpuld be made the permanent policy or the country.” Billie’s mother, Mrs; Graham, had overheard the conversation. She came out and said: "Really, Brother Dan, are you serious as to the dangers of our country? If it is as bad as that, it is high time for us to wake up and do something about it.” ■ “Exactly," replied Uncle Dan. "It is better to wake up now than to be rudely awakened later. We may as well understand, sister, that this is our war and we must win it or God help America. Everything that we have or hope to have—our liberties, our blessings, our opportunities are all involved in the great Issue before us. Nothing must stand between us ami winning this war. It Is a question whether the peoples’ right or the kaiser’s might shall dominate the world. If there ever was a holy war, this U it We are fighting for world liberty. We are fighting for the freedom <>t humanity. We are fighting for the right of men to govern themselves instead of being governed against their will by a war-mad overlord. Perilous times are ahead of us. We must be prepared to make any sacrifice, to perform any service that may be required •of us." | “Oh, Unde Dan,” exclaimed Billie, “may I bring my chum, Jimmie Collins, when we have our next talk? He is a bug on this war business and just crazy to see you.” "Certainly," said Unde Dan, with a hearty laugh. "If we are to have more talks, I shall be glad to have Jimmie Joints.” ‘ A Billie dapped ais hands and ran to the .’phone and told Jimmie to be oyer at seven o’clock the next evening.
