DECLARING it Impossible ior . mayor to be certaiu of himself in the matter of his opinions regarding the various city departments unless he has persona! experience in those departments, Henry Thomas Hunt, thirty-four years old, a Yale graduate mid chief executive of Cincinnati, set about getting that kiüd of experience himself. He studied the different branches of the municipal govninent, acted as tireinan. policeman and even street cleaner and when he yrot through felt amply repaid by the first hand knowledge he had acquired. "A mayor ought to be a real executive and not merely an ornamental figurehead." said Mayor Hunt. "I believe It possible fm- a city to have as effi
cient an organization working for it as any corporation possesses. "Suggestions ran seldom be obtained from subordinales, either on account of indifference and lack of knowledge of conditions outside their immediate environments or because of pressure tf routine work. "By spending one day in an engine houM I found it feasible to .have the Uremen act in their spare time Mis building inspectors to correct conditions easily seuu to , be dangerous.

There is the same reason for building up the trade and industries of a community that there is for building up the trade and industries of a nation. It goes without saying that the country wL-ieh does most to foster the commerce, the manufacturing and the pros
perity of its own people soon outdistances the country which neglects these things. The same thing applies to small communities. Now, that is just the principle involved in trading with home merchants rather than with distant mail order houses. To trade with the home merchant helps home commerce and home industry. To send money to the distant mail order house helps that remote concern, but depletes the community from which the money Is sent. Every dollar taken out of a community makes everybody in the community
that much los prosperous. U more water tlows out of a lake than Hows
into it. there is only a question of time when the lake will go dry. If more
dollars Mow out of a community than
flow into it. there is only a question of time when everybody that lives there
will suffer for lack of money
Take the farmer, for example. Sup-
nose he trades with a mall order house
on the supposition that he .can buy
goods cheaper there, a supposition that actual investigation shows in most
cases to be untrue. Every dollar the
farmer sends away leaves his commu
nity short that one dollar. As a result the home merchant suffers. When all
the home merchants suffer the village Itself becomes less prosperous. This reacts on the farmer. It Is a truism
that a farm near a thriving vtown Is
worth more money than one near a poor town. Therefore every time the
farmer hurts the merchant of his near, est village he is depleting the value of his own acres.
This is not a theory, but a condi
tion shown by rundown villages and

The advisability of building a local creamery depeuds, of course, entirely upon local conditions. First of all. the amount of butter fat produced in the locality must be taken into account. If there are less than 400 cows tributary
Tn many localities promoters have led people into subscribing for stock for the erection of a creamery in their locality when there were not enough cows In the vicinity to warrant the building of the creamery. The only object of the promoter is that of selling the machinery, Yind he usually charges a large price for it. Many of these creameries have never been a success and have done much harm to the creamery business of the state. Do not erect a larger plant than is absolutely necessary to start out with.

The United States school ship
Adams, which sailed from Philadel
phia .lime 1 on her regular trip to for
eign waters, proceeded direct to James-
land. The thing that caused this havoc-
was not deterioration of the soil, but
deterioration in the local public spirit. The same thing that causes dollars to
go to the distant city when they should
remain at home causes the boy or the
irl to go to the distant city -when he
or she should remain at home. Iho
fault does not lie in soil or other outer
conditions so much as in the people
themselves. They fail to appreciate their locality, its charm and its possibilities. The outcome of all this is that the oity becomes congested both with men and wealth, while the rural community falls behind in the same degree. This
town, ner itinerary calling for stops at is not a healthy condition. Any ua
tion is in a bad way whose cities grow
at the expense of its farms. When the farmers are prosperous the nation is prosperous, and uo true and permanent prosperity is possible otherwise.

to the creamery it probably could not pay running expenses. Too often localities have been led into the erection of a large plant without reference to
the uumber of cows in the neighbor
hood. This has caused failures in many
instances because the creamery could not pay its running expenses on the
small amount of output. In some of these cases a small plant operated by a competent creameryman could have been made profitable and developed into a larger concern as the number of cows in the locality increased. The creamery building need not be a large one nor an expensive one to begin with. Then as the business grows and more room is needed the plant can be enlarged to suit the conditions. One very common mistake among
creamery owners is that they secure
men as buttermakers who know very little or nothing about the scientific
principles of creamery work. Too often the man who will work at lower wages is chosen rather than the man
who understands the business and ae
serves better pay. Among the problems whi'-h the buttermaker has to
contend with are those of controlling
flavor and mcisture in butter.

Forago For Hogs, The time is past when hogs arc to be fed in a close lot. with corn and expensive concentrates. The ideal place for 'hogs, as proved by the work done at; the Missouri experiment, station, is on forage where they get exercise and green feed. Cowpeas, rape and other similar crops form the basis of the liest, modern systems. Alfalfa stands at the head, where it can be grown.
Robbing th Soil. Tt; should be remembered that the principal difference between good and poor land is the amount of humus contained. Poor land bountifully supplied with humus will in a few years bocome rich. On the other hand, the very best of land can bo made poor Sy constantly cropping without rotation.
Soil For Onions. Onions require a deep, mellow loam soil with a large per cent organic matter. You will be disappointed if you plant onions on close, clammy and compact soil.

Verses 2-G. Dealing with doubt. Machaerus was situated about 0.000 feet above the Dead sea on the northeast side. In its dark, damp dungeon the preacher of repentance had been languishing for over a year. Marvelous happenings had taken place during this period in connection with the ministry of .Testis "The works of Christ. Miracles of healing had been performed, including the raising from the dead of the daughter of Jairus iMatt. ix. 1S-20) and the sou of the widow of Nain (Luke vii. 11-17). "Two of his disciples." The strain of imprisonment was telling on this heroic soul, and the startling reports brought to him by his
I disciples only made him restless and
impatient. The message that he sent
to .Iesu did not express his doubt so much as his disappointment. "Art thou he that should come?" Literally translated it would be. "Thou, art thou the coming one?" Luke adds. -In that moment he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many rhat were blind he bestowed
