4 CONQUEST of Peace.

Milton sang that "Peace hath her
victories no less renowned than war"
The poet was right. While nations
of the old world have for years been
arming to the teeth to conquer each
other. the United States has been
steadily and successfully conquering
nature that two oceans separated by
a narrow isthmus might be made one,
and the commerce of the world pass
through the canal without let or him
drance.
That task is now practically ac-
complished. While nations are fly
ing at each others throats in the mad
lust to conquer, the Isthmus of Pan
ANA admits that it has been con-
quered by the peaceful methods en-
ployed by this country, and it is a
conquest, unlike those that follow
war, fraught with nothing but bless
ing for all mankind.
The quiet and successful passage
of the canal the other day by large
ship belonging to the country mark
ed the beginning Of new era in the
commercial history of this land, and
also in that of the world generally,
and that era will be distinguished by
constant progress and prosperity that
will result in bringing the nations of
the world into closer touch with each
other.
Of course the building of the canal
has cost millions upon millions of
money but it has all been spent for
the welfare of the world. Far other
wise is it with the countless millions
spent to arm nations and place them
against each other in battle array.

TO SPEAK BY DEEDS.
German Imperial Chancellor Says
Country VIII Rest on Truth.

The Associated Press has received
the following message through the
German embassy:
Berlin, August %.
The Associated Press, New York:
Germany is completely cut off
from the rest of the world and neith-
er can send out news nor receive it.
The empire, therefore, is unable to
defend itself sgainst the falsehoods
propagated by the press Of hostile
countries. 1t only can defend itself
by its deeds. The German people
will be profoundly grateful for every
effort to disseminate the real truth.

limitations of the banking laws and
urged that any plan be mdae to con-
form with them. Both the postmas-
ter general and the secretary OF the
treasury warned against hysteria and
panic.
The discussion developed senti-
ment favorable to the proposed pur-
chase Of ships ~ the government for
the foreign trade. 1t was stated that
with South American and Asiatlc
trade routes opened to American
ships, the American cotton manufac-
turers could extend their cotton
cloths to these markets and increase
their consumption Of raw cotton by
100000 bales. The general opin-
ion was that 100000 or 100000
bales of cotton would have to be car
ried over as a result of the closing
OF British, French and German mills.
Cotton manufacturers promised to
make every effort to increase their
consumption and agreed not to force

crop.

WASTEFUL METHODS
OF AMERICAN FARMER
Seven Hundred Millions In Ma
nuTa Lost Annually.
FERTILIZER INCREASES YIELD
PROFESSOR j.. G. HUTTON, South
Dakota State College.

FKOf J. q. u TON, South
Dakota State College.
The mount of preventable waste
on the American farm is astounding.
1t has been carefully estimated that
the value of the farm manur which
Is allowed to go to waste is $500, 0OO,-
900 annually.
The wheat crop for 1912 has been
estimated at $50. O00, 900 bushels. 1t
is seen from these figures that the
value of the n going to waste
on the farms in the United States is
worth as much as the total wheat
crop of the country.
OF course, it is not easy work to
haul out the manure, but it is a pay-
ing proposition nevertheless. Fer
tilizer companies would have us be-
love that IA of the clements of plant
food which must be applied to the
soil should be bought in the form OF
commercial fertilizers. This is a
good proposition for the fertilizer
manufacturer, but a mighty poor II
for the farmer.
Some farmers have said, Yes, we
have a lot of manur lying around
here, but the land Will o stand it."
Now, We may just as we'll get it
clearly in u minds that unless the
manure can be returned to the land.
or green manure crops plowed UNI
der, it will only be a short time until
we must so out OF the farming bust.
ness.
Ten tons Of manure to the acre
does not make a very thick layer, but
when this is applied evenly before
blowing and thoroughly disked into
the soil, there is no doubt that it will
repay many times the cost of putting
it on the land. On one farm in South
Dakota it was found that ten loads
of ant to the acre increased the
wheat yield ten bushels to the acre.
1t is also known that an application
of manure makes itself felt not only
the first year after its application,
but for many years thereafter its eff
feet may be noticed in the increased
yields.
1t pays to haul out the manur and
to do this before it lies around the
farmyard for six months or a year.

QUESTION. What care should
poultry have when moulting?
ANSWER. (By O. w. Dynes, Head
OF Poultry Investigations). The moult.
ing period Of fowls begins in the late
summer and often extends into early
winter. 1t is the most critical period
in the life Of the hen. Her system is
doubly taxed during this period. Dur
ing cold days her covering is INSULT
cient and in addition she must grow
a new crop Of feathers. Under these
circumstances the hen must receive
an abundance of food, particularly
protein food. which builds up the lean
tissues and feathers of the fowl. The
hen should be sheltered as much as
possible during the moultinE period
from cold winds and should be fed
regularly and often.
