F Edson White who has been
made president of Armour & Company
began at the bottom Mr White now
forty-nine went to Chicago from
Peoria when he was twenty-two He
found a Job with Armour and Company
as car Inspector and checker His
' work did not require extraordinary
ability or training but Mr White set
out to be the best checker and In-
spector In the business This was In
1805 The department beads of Ar-
tuour and Company always had an
eye out for ambitious young men who
did not "watch the clock" so It was
not long until young White was ad-
vanced to the head of the sheep de-
partment Here also he made good
and ten years later he was appointed
assistant to Arthur Meeker vice presi-
dent In January 1021 he was elected
to the board of directors and a short
time later was rewarded with a vice
presidency From that position he has leaped to the presidency of ttw 50000-
000 corporation assuming the duties of J Ogden Armour as president of Ar-
mour A Co of Illinois and the newly-organized Armour A Co of Delaware

In the feeding trials
Calves getting silage plus a full
feed of grain feed more regular and
required less careful and skillful feed-
ing than the calves getting a heavy
feed of grain and no silage The sllage-
fed calves made a gain of 286 pounds
per head per day for a period of 196
days while the calves fed without
silage were valued at 10 cents per 100
pounds above the calves fed silage yet
the' sllage-fed calves showed a net
profit of $1790 a head while those
without silage showed a profit of $1615
a head
Barley proved practically equal to
com pound for pound In making
gains on fattening calves but because
of Its greater cost and the lower sav-
ing of feed made by hogs following
the corn-fed calves showed a profit of
$1615 a head while the barley-fed
calves showed a profit of only $601 a
bead
Purebred beef calves high-grade

ing same traces of beef breeding when
compared made similar gains on simi-
lar amounts of feed though the differ-
ence In selling price was marked the
purebred calves bringing $8678 per I the expected majority I aged fully

This Attractive Underslip Shows Wider Skirt
Business Man and Smokes a Briar Pipe mineral mixture for hogs
Here’s the latest portrait of Stan-
ley Baldwin British Aancellor of the
exchequer He Is a business man who
Is applying his training and ability
to the solution of Great Britain’s big
financial problems He thus officially
defined his mission here: "At present
a law- of congress provides that our
debt (of $4277000000) must be re-
paid within twenty-five years at 4V4
per cent Interest This would mean an
annual payment by Great Britain of
between $300000000 and $350000000
We hope to fund this debt and get
the rate of Interest eased but of course
the Iasi Word Is with America” -England

fore he entered politics he was dl
rector of the great steel corporation

to the memorable meeting of the con
servatlve8 which disputed the coalition
government the steel master has held
for a year the tmpqrtant office of financial secretary to the treasury He was
also president of the board of trade In parliament he has made a distinct
Impression as a hustler f
Perhaps some Idea of his character Is to be gathered from the fact that he
smokes a well-seasoned briar pipe not only at home not only In his office but
even at public dinners when other statesmen are pulling contemplatively —

Wisconsin ' - Specialist Recommends
Combination of Which Charcoal
Is Chief Ingredient
Experience has taught the stockman
that a mineral mixture Is a good thing
to keep before the hogs In the winter
time
G Bohstedt of the animal husbandry
department has just made a mixture to
feed to the hogs in the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural college herd It consists of:
Two hundred pounds of powdered
charcoal 100 pounds of wood ashes
100 pounds of air-slaked lime 100
pounds of ground rock phosphate 50
pounds of salt 10 pounds of sulphur
and 5 pounds of copperas
A mineral mixture such as this Is
not considered necessary In the sum-
mer time
