German M ade Goods

Dear Editor:
The Literary Digest, in COM
inen'ing on the war, remarks;
We are nCw learning wha. i. is
to 20 without the things that are
mace in Germany"
Few have realized till now Ia
What a great extent the rest of
the world has come To depend on
German products ANA materials
The Gsrn!a: : arc not only
wonderfully efficient in produc
iuG every sort Of Thing which is
capable OF any use, but 'hey arc
also extremely keen in finding a
market ful all those things,
usually by being abI. to
supply it at Il lower cost than
any competitor.
We hear many people make
the statement that we ought to
be able to produce all these
things ourselves and not be be-
holden to Germany and olher
nations; but such people haven't
tine faintoSt idea of the difficuI.
Ties liiat are involved in this pol
Icy. Ia Germany, as Llie Scien-
titic American points out, the
system of industry is 'interlock-
ing" that is one process and
one product depends on another,
and whole chain of industries
must be maintained in order TO
make the business profitable.
We might be able to produce a
few things but we could have
nothing because we have no
market for the by-products.
In Germany it is possible TO
exchange by-products, thereby
bringing about conservation
that does not exist in this coun-
cry. In the circumstances,
therefore, the American manu-.
facturer must continue to de-
pend upon the Germans, hoping
the war will be of short dura-
tiop.

POULTRY ANp DA|RYING

Elsewhere will be found what
Mr.. Stunz of the Beatrice
Creamery Co, thinks of dry land
dairying.
1t will be noticed that his view
of the matter is in line with
what the Herald has had to say
on the same subject-that dairy
ing is the one road to the saliva
tion of our present settlement.
He thinks that dry farmed pro-
ducts are special y suited to the
production of milk, and believes
that except for cows and poultry
less than one-third of the dry
land settlement will be able to
stay.
MIR. Stuntz was in Springfield
last Saturday, and informs our
folks that the Beatrice company
will be here in the Spring ard
ready to buy all the cream and
milk that the county can produce
1t is consequently perfectly
safe for our farmers to lead out
in dairying stock or in good all
purpose milk cows
l6cyOu can. get one good milk
COW it will be q start: II you
can get anywhere up to dozen
or two dozen it will put you on
your feet and help you into easy
street."
Next of Importance in the dai-
rying line to getting the COWS is
in the building of silos 1t is not a
prerequisite, but is essential for
the very best results
The pit silo is undoubtedly
the one for both cheapness
and utility; and inside of the
next ten years there ought to be
at least ten of these go down
within radius of ten miles of
Springfield
The si!o is coming. Inside of
the next ten years they will be
a, common in Baca county as
autoes; AMI, as in the case of ev-
erytt.ing else, they will be on
the ground floor in the silo ne
wfo are among the fist to set
them up-or down
Next of Importance to dairy
ing itself, serving however to
supplement it, is poultry; and
the next thing after the
half dozen COWS would be 100 to
300 hens.
The hen here has brt one enc
my-parasites. Those who Know
how to handle mites and lice viii
always have healthy hens in
pdCd county.
Indeed, we believe that il
some one were to go into poultry
on lar scale in Baca, either
fer marketing purposes, for
eggs, or to supply the trade
with Fancy stock, it could be
made more profitable than east
wsrdly, by reason of our dry eli
mate and consequent freedom
from disease.
At all events and under any
circumstance, get into th'se
few or many cows and few or
many hens, and your eooG
monthly checks, after AN auto
trppk line between Str'n2f1'
ard Lamar has been secured

The Springfeld Creamery.

"4uV oQIIa30VIu O!VQnUi j..
The following is taken bodil,
from the Two Buttes Sentinel
The daring ideas contained in il
coming from a creamery man
with wide experience in dry.
farm dairying makes it of partic
ular interest to our readers, and
it being along the line of our pre-
vious talk makes it serve to en-
phasize what we have said on
the subject of dairying in Baca
county.
Mr.. Stun thinks the semi
arid sections of eastern Colorado
especially adapted to d trying.
that the results reached by hun
dreds of farmers in eastern Colo
RADIO, especially along the lines
Of Burlington, Rock island and
the Union Pacific, prove the
statement.
= He says their success, and
they are successful and prosper
GUS, comes largely, if not alto.
get Ter, through the separator
and the dairy COW, and that the
homesteader who stuck" made
his stake with cows.
1t was interesting to hear him
on the subject. giving it as a
positive fact that had it not
been for cows and chickens of
eastern Colorado not more than
lone third Of the homesteaders
who proved up and remained on
on their Gains would be there
today.
! He cited several interesting
! instances, giving names and
data, ami said he could name
scores of cases where money
was made from dairying on dry
farms.
Mr.. Stunz put it right in saying
that dairy cows mean ready
money each week the year a.
round aud it is the lack of ready
money that has sent many dry
farmers back east"
Of course he called attention
to the increase from the stock
and the value of SKINNED milk
to calves used in connection
with other foods.
! Mr.. Stunx aleo calls attention
to a fact peflmps 10. generally
known. and that is the peculiar
adaptation Of Colorado soil to all
forms of feeding crops; that
corn, cane, milo maize and ksfir
corn raised in this state con-
tain Il larger percent of sugar
than that raised in Illinois or
other eastern states. and of
course have much greater feed
ing value.
Then drifting naturally from
feed values to its prepara-
ton and preservation and then
to sllos. Pit silos of course were
recommended as being cheaply
constructed and efficient.
He stated that hundreds of
pit silos and quite a number Of
I costlier kinds have been built a.
long the lines mentioned, which
have been an aid to the farm
ers in preserving their feed.
Flager, a small town, was men.
toned as having three cream buy.
ers who do a good business dur
ing nine months of each year and
a fair business all the year round;
and that the merchants there
have few book accounts.
Mr.. Stunz says: Begin now
and keep adding to, no matter
whether you sell to US or not"
