LOSS OF WAR EXAGGERATED
Real Facts as to Mortality and Prop
erty Destruction In n Six
Months Conflict.

The destruction of war is not nearly
as great as it seems, Engineering Maya
zine states. If people do not produce
neither do they consume, and the man
who may have been making and spend
ing $40 a day comes down to the 81
or even to the ten-cent level without
particular detriment to himself or to
his similarly-placed neighbors. The
fetal wealth of Germany Is s6,50O,OOO,-
600 and even If the actual war wastes
were 100000 day this in whole
year would amount to less than l per
cent of the accumulated wealth Of the
fatherland. The average death rate in
Germany is probably twenty per thou
sand, or 100000 a year. Kill 1,000,-
600 soldiers and you have only doubled
for one year the normal outflow. In
four years, II the normal rate were
lessened from 20 to Is per cent, the
loss would be numerically made up.
The loss of life, the loss of time, the
loss of property in a six-months' wal
is, after all, insignificant compared to
the great enduring life of the nation

INTERESTING FACTS
 ABOUT PUMPKINS.

In the current issue of Farm ana Fireside appears an article entitled s.In Defense of the Pumpkin The fnaauwing facts about pumpkins ana the uses to which they. can be put are taken from the article:
 ..Pumpkins are largely composed or water. and so some agricultural writ iers have declared that pumpkins have but little value as stock food. The same objection might be made against Rrass. which everybody knows is the best food in the world for farm live stock. Pumpkins, in my experience. are as valuable to feed to cows and steers as turnips, rutabasas, and beets. t. Horses are fond of pumpkins and will eat them without any cutting up. They are fealthful for horses that are kept on dry feed when fed in mod eration.
 Hogs will eat pumpkins, and they are cheap and wholesome feed Tor them when fed in connection with grain. We cut the pumpkins into small pieces which can be eaten easily, and put them into the trough instead of breaking them up and throwing them into the pen. We find it pays well for the time spent in cutting. The pump kins are fed in the morning when ap- petites are keen, and before the grain is given"
