The Panama Exposition commission
representing the United States on a
tour of South America, is now in
Montevideo Argentine republic accord
ing to letters received here from Felix
Mir tines," head of the commission.
The object of the visit is to secure the
participation of the Latin-American
countries in the 1J16 exposition at San
Francisco.
Mi Martinez, from time to time,
nritts brief chronicles of the doings
of the commission, describing the
places iited and the experiences of

Sail in Fine "Weather.
' After 15 davs of ocean travel from
Caracas, remaokable for wonderfully
fine weather we reached Bio de Janer-
to, a city of beauty for It gardens and
wonderful bay and feared in the past
for its susceptibilities to epidemic
disease, but now more beautiful and
.freat for its wonderful streets, drives,
great homes and excelling all other
cities in its cleanliness.
Capital of Great Repabllc.
"Rio tfe Janeiro is the capital of
the greatest republic in geographical
extent in the American hemisphere-
"When we entered port on Nov. 17.
there chanced to be in the bay cruisers
from Argentina, Portugual, Germany,
Italy, Uruguav and a Brazilian dread
naught As Uncle Sam's craft entered
fe gate all these men of war opened
lane for the Birmingham. Our band
began to play their national airs re
spectively as our cruiser passed each
warship, and they responded by play
ing our national air, with all flags
flying.
Minister Serves Coffee.
"Lauro Muller, minister of foreign
relations, received us very cordially,
indeed. After the usual exchange of
formalities the minister offered the
commission a cup of delicious coffee
brewed by Salvador, a national expert
in the preparation of the beverage.
This has made us understand that
coffee is the national drink in Brazil.
After being presented to the min
isters of marine and agriculture vie
were introduced to the present r
Brazil. Hermes de Fonseca, who in re
plying to the chairman's speech be
came eloquent and revealed consider
able emotion. He dwelt on the appre
ciation of the Brazilians of the friend
ship of the people of the United States
and said that nothing would be left
undone to bear out the- dignity ol
Brasil in its exhibit at the San Fran
cisco exposition.
'It may be Interesting to know that
the president and most of his cabinet
do not speak or understand English.
The chairman spoke in Spanish and
those addressed replied In Portuguese.
..... Tour lm Strenuous.
'This tour of the southern countries
is pretty strenuous proposition and
when we again boarded ship I was
mighty glad to draw a breath of rest
"Uruguay, unlike the other republics
who have been in doubt as to whether
or not they would accept has posi
tively declined to send representation
to San Francisco and I Question
whether we can get them to reverse
their deelglpn, but there is no harm in
trying and that wa shall do."
Fi Clubs are Rivals of Boys' Farm
Clubs In Promoting Farm Prosperity
By
Rene Bachc
In Southern States, Beys on the Farms Are Taking Up Pig Culture With Corn Planting; Girls Join in Agricultural
Club Movement.
U
IG clubs" for boys are the new
er t.
I The department of agriculture U
starting in to organise thdnt aU
o-. er the southern states. For each state
there will be a government agent, who will
cooperate with local experts in giving the
requ"-ite instruction.
AKo. it "ill be the business of the pis;
agent to get the bofrs together and start
the moiement going A club will be formed
r herever 10 or more members can be se
cureil Any bo from 10 to 18 years of age
miy be a member
The county will be the geographical
unit for pig clubs. Each county will be
divided into districts small enough to reach
all the bois, and each district will bae
one or more clubs. A boy, to be a member,
murt own at least one pig and mast care
tor his stock in person
Supplements Core Club.
The pig Cub is the natural supplement sf
the corn club Already the corn olub move
ment has proved itself a great success.
There re man) hundreds of these clubs
scattered over the country, and prises are
ar arded at intervals for the best corn, the
I rt-'et ears the greatest quantity grown
jer . i re. eK
i:.ontuall, doubtless, there will be boys'
p g ciubs all over the United States. The
movement is being started In the south
betause the people ef that section, while
great consumers of pork, raise few hogs.
They spend millions of dollars annually for
pork raised In other sections which, la a
wav, is jubt so much money wasted, inas
much as pigs can be raised and fattened in
the south more cheaply than in any other
part of the United States.
Fig Agent Will be Specialist.
The pig agent in each state will be a
specialist in swine husbandry Cooperating
with the state authorities, he will direct
the pig club work. He will teach the boys
hon to grow crops which, in the south,
will furnish pasturage all the year round
and be will show them how they can sell
their corn 'n the form of pork.
An hoy who wants a purebred pig may
appi to the government pig agent, who
will help him to get the animal at a mod
erite price
It is recommended that the best sow pigs
from each litter be kept for breeding
th rest being raised for fattening, and
ivilled or sold at the end of the 3ear.
I nder this method the hogs raised will im
prove in quality right along from year
to j ear
To Keep Records for Prices.
Each meirber of a pig club nil1 be .re
quired to keep a record ef the feed given
and pasture grazed, of the weight of each
animal at intervals, of dates of farrowing,
etc He must show at least one pig at the
county exhibition. The boys who prove
Binners at county exhibitions will be ex
pected to show at the state fair, entering
their animals for prizes. Some of these
pn e offered by the government, will
: ike the form of free trips to Washington,
where the. lucky oungsters will be photo
grahped in groups with the secretary of
agriculture
It is urged that parents of pig club mem
br should encourage the boys by paying
fair prices for their fat hogs when the lat
ter are used for home consumption. The
Investment demanded of any Nboy at the
outlet is varj small, especially in the south
ern states, where the warm winter cli
mate renders substantial and expensive
houses unnecessary One point of Instruc
tion on which the pftj agents will lay great
etress is that the animals must always
have plenty of clean, fresh water for drink
ing and that a dry bed with plenty of
sunshine must be provided for the little
porkers
Corn Club Have 20.M6 Boys.
No fewer than 20,000 boys In eight states
are today enroled in corn clubs; and la
pirts of the country where there is not
enough rainfall for maize there are kaflr
corn ( lubs and mllo clubs. Cotton clubs
for bos are becoming popular In Oklahoma
and Texas, where special prises are to be
vion b growing the best cotton or the
most cotton on a given area of land.
Poultrv clubs are already an established
institution. This is where the girls aad
young women come in. In moat parts of
the country thee orgnlsatlons far raising
am marketing chickens and eggs are mul
tip .inr and prospering The department of
agriculture is doing all it can to encourage
them and government poultry experts gt,
al out from place to place delivering lec
tures on the subject, attractively Illustrated
with lantern slides, and giving Instruc
tion otherwise
Troper roultrr Methods Jfeeded.
The idea that is especially desired to be
conveyed is that the profits derivable from
prultry can be greatly augmented through
tl-e u'option of proper methods. These do
not relate merel to selection and breeding
of stock although that counts for a good
deal There is the care and feeding of the
pou'trv and. bevond this, attention must
be directed to the important problem of
marketing But poultry keeping on the
farm is an Industry conducted, so to speak,
b rule of thumb Harl mr 1-.Ih. ..x
In developing it Hence It la not nearly
to profitable as it ought to be.
The demand for good chickens never
Vf.ils and the market price of thla kind
of Trerchandise Is higher than it ever was
t. fore The demand for really fresh egfes
a as exceeds the supply. It follows!
then that there Is money In the business
for anvbody who wtu use Intelligence. Any
Instruction required may be had for the
Gentlemen
You know "White Rock
Water" has no equal. There
fore, insist upon "White
Rock Water," and take no
substitute.

Haw to Pack Market Eggs.
Take the matter of eggs for example.
Those which are of uniform sire and color
brine the highest price. The department of
agriculture recommends that all eggs be
packed in accordance with the following
classification: L Large brown. 2. Large
white 3. 8mail brown 4 Small white.
Simple, Is it not? But it is Just these lit
tle things that count where marketing Is
concerned.
The people ef Beaton have a strong pre
possession in favor of brown eggs, imagin
ing them (quite Incorrectly) to be superior
in point ot flavor to white ones. In Balti
more white eggs are preferred, and bring a
higher price It pays the poultry raiser to
Sve attention to such local fancies, the
fference per dozen may be five cents.
The girls and young women ef the poul
try clubs are taught that it pays to keep
well bred chickens, rather than ordinary
barnyard stock. Onoe a year each club
holds an exhibition, at the county fair o
elsewhere, at which each member shows a
pair of her best chickens and a dosen ot
her best eggs. Prizes are awarded. No
person Is eligible to membership in a club
until she has hatched at least one sitting
of 15 eergs.
Poultry Club Kcqtiires Records, Tee.
It is required that eaeh member of a
Cltry club shall do her owa work. kep
an account of all expenses for feed,
etc. She must also keep a, record of her
receipts for stook and eggs, if she knows
her business., she will Mil all her ooekereta
as soon as they have attained broiler stae.
because then they will fetch the most
money relatively to expenditure.
