It is because' of' this hope and be cause of this rainbow that we wel come the dawning of the New Year in happy anticipation. The past is over and done with; but the future,' with all its happy possibilities, is our own rich possession.- The New Year in cludes another spring season and oth er harvest days. Its panorama lies invitingly before us and it is rich in promise. It affords new opportunity for optimistic and zestful existence, for the enjoyment of things hoped for but not obtained during the .closing year. And thus we bid the Old Year goodbye without sorrow, and welcome the New Year with smiling eyes. If we have learned from past ex perience to rectify the mistakes of earlier days, the New Year will af ford us that opportunity. Humanity makes many mistakes and all of us are prone to error. Not wilfully so, but naturally. Experience is the great teacher in all such cases, be it in the conduct of the ordinary affairs of life or in our business or farm operations. We are ever learning fi-om day to day and from season to season, also from year to year, as we look back and compare. If. from neg lect, we have suffered loss of crops and income, we, as farmers, can in sure that this will not occur again because we have learned a needed lesson. An old hymn writer has told us that: "New times, new seasons and new joys, doth a new song require. We may all sing a new song of hope at Christmas, during holiday week. with its spirit of giving, home-comings and good cheer, and .surely so at the ushering in of a New Year with all its latent possibilities for prosperity, health and happiness.

Cliff Gregory, editor of the Prairie Farmer, designates the now defunct Grain Growers, Inc., as "that trouble some child of the American farm bu reau federation" and says that its dis position "is- a problem of great con cern to the middle west. It is hio opinion that "the state federations of " the corn belt have a defi nate obligation to set up a grain mar keting agency for their members." Speaking of the flood of money which was poured into the coffers of that concern within the past year he points out that $78,556.70 came from the three states of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. Whether that sum em braces only the membership fees, or also includes the loans from the states named, Mr. Gregory does nor state. From our information as to the amounts actually loaned by the three state farm bureaus it would not surprise us if the sum named con sists of the loans made by these state bodies, independent of membership fees from individuals. It is possible, however, that these loans were re duced by partial payments to the var ious states while the canvass was actively-on. A list of 10.000 members in any single state insures an income of $100,000 in dues from that state, aside from any borrowings, as the fee was $10 on joining. This was a sinele ana not an annual expense, beinsr practically a life membership in the organization. Mr. Gregory sums up in the state ment that while the convention "did not. discuss this question and took no action on.it the middle west fels, that in the . emergency, it has the right to ask that the American farm bureau budget provide a substantia! sum to put tho grain growers sales aeency on its feet." He further states that such a request was presented to the executive committee at the convention. - - Winter Shipping Fever. As many feeders have experienced, cattle and sheep are liable to contract a disease in cold weather, known aa stockyards or shipping fever. The losses on this account are most heav ily felt by those- who buy stockers and feeders, althoufh milking cow? and sheep also may become infected. The disease is a poisoning of the blood wherefore it often runs but a short course and quickly becomes fatal. The disease is technically known a.s hemorrhagic septicemia, and those in-! terested can obtain a free bulletin on the. subject by writing to the de partment of agriculture, at Washing ton. .. While the bureau of animal industry is endeavoring in every way possible to combat the spread of this disease, it sometimes happens that a shipment of apparently healthy cattle or sheep shortly after arrival in a feed lot, will develop symptoms that will cause the owner to believe that the animals are afflicted with pneumonia. Teh affected animals as a rule refuse feed. There is quite often difficulty in breathing and coughing may occur. There may be discharge from the nos trils and strings of mucous may hang from the mouth. The animals lose flesh very rapidly, their abdomens be coming puffed up and the eyes sunken. Disinfection of stockyards which may be effectivetempoiarily can not be fore, as an effective means of control ped to farms for feeding. The vacci nation of susceptible animals from stockyards has been suggested, there relied upon to protect the animals ship ling the disease. These vaccinations should be made by a veterinarian and! only fresh, tested vaccines or bacter ids should be used. Such cattle and sheep should not be allowed to mingle with other animals on the farm until 30 days have elapsed. A Hard Luck Story. A brief tale of loss in shipping hay is going the rounds of the farm press, as follows.: "A farmer at Iowa City, la., shipped a car of hay to St. Louis. He got $82.61 for it. The freight and oth er charges totalled $92.13." The kind of hay or the number of tons in the car is not given, nor is there mention of the price paid per ton. But aside from all this the moral seems to be that St. Louis is not a profitable market for hay grown around Iowa City, and that the farmer who feeds his hay, or sells it to his neighbors, will be best off. According to John W. Coverdale, of Iowa, general secretary of the Amer ican farm bureau federation: "The far- The last will and testament of Fred erick Landman, late a resident of Ver-i sailles, who died recently in that vil lage, has been filed for probate and record. Mr. Landman leaves both real and personal property together, with stocks and bonds, etc., to his two daughters, Emma Landman, and Min nie Martin Landman, who are to care for their mother during her natural life. Vigil Piatt vs. Carrie Flatter and j John Potts, Replevin. to his neighbor. Together we win is our watchword today." He then goes on to say that: . "The object of the farm bureau is to create a county-wide organization to advance and improve the agriculture of the county, to co-operate with the state colleges of agriculture and the United States department of agricul ture in the employment .of a county agent; to develop a definite - program of work that will bring to the county better economic, social and education al conditions so as to make farming more profitable and country life more. attractive." Mr. Coverdale then ex pands his idea to cover the state and then- "the nation, to the good of the whole country. Mice Kill Trees. "There are men who fear mice, Fruit growers have good cause to," so extension specialists in orchard growing tell us. These and other ro dents sometimes gnaw and girdle trees, after the snow has fallen, andj how to prevent, the killing of fine trees, and all fruit trees, is the prob lem of the fruit man. One authority advises as follows: "To hoe away weed and , rubbish from around the trunk of the trees. as far out as the branches spread, with the soil slightly mounded around the trunk, is one way. Poisoned bait, scattered in mouse runways, near bur rows, and in trash piles are also use ful if the bait is thoroughly set This is especially necessary in sod or chards. "Poisoned grains or poisoned sweet potatoes are the best baits. The sweet potatoes is. most effective, pro vided it does not freeze. Place 3 quarts of freshly cut bait in a pan and wet it with water. Drain off the wa ter, and then slowly sift from a pepper-box an eighth of an ounce of pow dered strychnine, mixed with an equal weight of baking soda. Stir constant ly to distribute the poison evenly. An ounce of strychnine wil poison a bushel of bait. "To poison grain, dissolve an ounce of strychnine sulfate in two quarts of boiling water, and two pints of laundry starch in a half pint of cold water. Add the starch to the strych nine solution and boil for a few min utes until the starch is clear. Let the grain stand overnight to absorb the poison. Do not use more than a teaspoonful of bait in one place. The poison, of course, must be handled with the utmost care, so that children Application filed to admit will of Frederick Landman, deceased, to pro bate and record. Jacob W.
