PLANS TO SI
OP
Rudolph SpreckoSs Has Project
For Prospective Farmers.
WOULD ENLIST CAPITAL'S AID.
Idea Is to Havo Wealthy Men Buy Up
Desirable Land, Then Resell It on
Long Payments So One Crop Failure
Will Not Entail Loss of Farm Say3
Capitalists Should Form a Fund.
Rudolph Sprcckels, leader In the San
Francisco anti-graft crusade, In addi
tion to ideas for civic reform, has a
plan for stemming the tldo of the
iraTO of population flowing toward
the American cities with such alarm
ing rapidity.
"The trouble with the back to the
farm propaganda today," Mr. SprecU
cl says, "Is that, while it distributes
a lot of free advice to the residents
f congested sections In our cities, It
ffers comparatively little aid of a
substantial sort I think that it Is not
kecauso city dwellers prefer the cities
to the country that they remain In a
Btate of industrial dependence, but be
cause they have not the capital re
quired to buy a farm and the stock
and Implements necessary to make It
a paying venture.
Thinks Fund Should Be Formed.
"I believe the capitalists of the Unit
ed States should form a fund so that
they could buy tillable land and then
resell it to prospective emigrants
from the cities at actual cost, with
provision for easy terms of. payment.
These payments could be so arranged
as to extend over a period of fifty or
even seventy years, so that there
would bo little question that the pur
chaser or his family would eventually
wn the land.
"As it is, many hesitate to leave
their urban homes because farming
Is a great deal of a risk. They would
be compelled to place heavy mort
gages on their land, payable in n few
years. Under this plan a series of
unfortunate seasons would be fatal to
the farmer, who would be unable to
meet the demands of the Incumbrance
n his land and would thereby forfeit
his holdings, together with the money
he had expended In getting started.
Calls It Mistaken Plea.
"The plea to the man of the city to
emigrate to the frontier to lf.iv out a
homo for himself where land Is cheap
Is mistaken. Pioneer Hfo necessarily
entails many hardships, which the city
dweller and his wife cannot endure
because they are not inured to them.
To n man who has been reared on a
farm It is difficult enough to transform
a stubborn prairie or a heavily wood
ed land into tillable land, but for the
Inexperienced farmer, recruited from
the congested cities, it is almost im
possible. After a few years ho will
get discouraged and return to his old
homo nnd work.
"Hero is the difficulty, however. To
embark on a farming venture in n dis
trict which is already cultivated and
settled to some extent requires a big
outlny of capital, whereas in pioneer
regions land can be obtained either
free or for a nominal sum. And this
te where the capitalists should extend
a helping hand.
Europe's Plan Succeeds.
"In many parts of Europe the plan
f long payments for land Is in oper
ation nnd is proving a great success.
When the settlers are assured that in
case of crop reverses they are not in
danger of losing their homes nnd that
if they fall to pay for their homes even
In a lifetime their sons can continue
the payments they do not hesitate to
leave the bench of the wage earner
for the plow and the reaper. I under
stand, too, that this plan has been un
dertaken In various parts of the Unit
ed States on a small scale and that ef
forts along this lino havo been the
source of great satisfaction to those
who havo supported them.
"It Is a great problem, this back to
the land movement. It will be the
great problem of the future, as it is
the problem of the present. Our cities
nre certain to increase In population
Immensely for many years to come.
As the number of mouths to food
grows the number of actual producers
on the land must Increase or develop
ment must cease."
FRENCH HEELS RUIN FEET.
Spinal Curvature Another Phase, Ac
cording to Minneapolis.
Dr. Charles n. Keene of Minneap
olis In a public statement says that
the high French heels which high
school girls wear are the cause of de
formed feet that have to bo cured by
physical culture, and therefore such
heels nro to bo barred from the school.
Dr. ICeeno will have the physical in
structor in the high school find out
how many girls have curvature of the
spine. He has found many hoys In
tho Minneapolis schools so aflllcted.
IIo attributed the prevalence of curvn
turo of the splno to bad posture, both
in sitting nnd standing, and to faulty
customs ant to Improper footwear,
such as French heeled shoes.
To Dam Grand Canyon.
Engineers are figuring on erecting n
dam 700 feet high in the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado to impound sufficient
water to produce 1,500,000 horsepower.
HINTS FOR THE
BUSY HOUSEWIFE
Simple Device For Holding
Lid on the Teakettle.
The loose kettle lid that is always
falling from Its place every time the
contents are poured is a cause of much
annoyance which can bo done nway
with by the use of a simple wire re
tainer, as shown in the sketch. The
retainer Is made of a piece of heavy
wire seventeen Inches long bent as
shown In Fig. 1. The wire Is fitted on
the inside of the lid, as shown in Fig. 2.
The spring of the wire will keep It In
place. Fig. 3 shows how tho contriv
ance works. The bend of tho wire
passes under the top of the kettle and
prevents the lid from falling oil. -Popular

ts1ely hints
fob farmers
Keep the Colts Growing.
The colt makes Its greatest growth
Surlng its first year. This should be
kept In mind when planning tho feeds
for tho growing colt It should be
pushed right along and kept growing
from tho time It Is born. Some of the
best horsemen feed sklmnillk to the
growing colts ns n part of their regu
lar ration. This is introduced Into
their feed when they are about four
months old and continued until they
nro yearlings. At first about two
quarts aro given nnd the umouut grad
ually Increased until they will receive
five or six quarts per day. Sometimes
trouble Is experienced in teaching the
colts to drink sklmnillk. In this case
dampen tho oats or ground feed with
a little milk to begin with and grad
ually Increase the amount until the
grain is fed In the form of a slop com
posed of grain and milk. By this time
a taste will have been acquired by the
animal, and no further trouble will el
met. If this ration Is continue!
through the winter tho colt will In
variably come out In line shape in the
spring, nnd there will be no setback
Incident to weaning, as is usually ex
perienced. Ration For a Young Bull.
It Is a common practice to let a sire
have all the clover hay he will con

good physical condition. A mixture
consisting of 300 pounds of oats, I):0
pounds of bran, 200 pounds of cor 1
chop und .10 pounds of ollmeal wouli'
go very nicely with the clover hay
We would not feed him enough of the
concentrates to get him fat, but just
enough to keep him In a good thri'ty
condition.
Silage Is nut considered a very goi-0
feed for the sire, but a very small al
lowance is not objectionable. Hoatd's

Handling the Ram In Winter.
The ram should not run with the
ewes during the winter. He will wor
ry them, and one bunt might 1:111 c
lamb, no should havo a box stall,
not large, with a good strong yard at
tached, where he can be nut of doors
on all fine dnys.
Never leave him out In a storm an
that his fleece will become wet, as It
might mean death. Feed him regu
larly and enough to keep him In good,
thrifty condition.
Trees Around the Pasture.
When doing tho tree planting do not
forget to put a few trees in a corner
of tho pasture fields If there Is such a
thing as a fenced pasture on tho farm.
Protect these a few years, and they
will protect the stock for many more.
