.ENSILAGE RELISHED
BY FARM ANIMALS
Greatest Use of Feed Has Been
for the Dairy CoWs-Beef
Cattle Also Like 1t.

Ensilage is relished by most farm
animals. The greatest use made of it
has been for dairy cows, thirty to fifty
pounds being fed each COW daily at the
North Dakota experiment station. 1t
can be fed to beef cattle too, but they
should be fed about half as much as
the dairy cattle. Young stock can be
fed ensilage in proportion to their size.
Some grain and hay should be fed
with ensilage. If the hay is alfalfa,
the grain can be decreased and in
some cases omitted.
Sheep relish a small amount of en-
silage, two to three pounds a day is
a good amount. Some feeders give as
high as five or six pounds.
Horses can be fed ten to fifteen
pounds Of ensilage day. 1t has a
good deal the same effect on them as
pasture. Hogs like little ensilage
and especially so if it contains good
deal of corn. Ensilage is bulky food,
a good deal like pasture in its effect
on the animal. 1t is important that 1t
be free from mold, as this causes
trouble. Horses should not be fed en-,
silage- that has been frozen, though
with other stock it seems to be all
right provided 1T is. thaWed out be,

cent more at year old.
A neighbor of mine last year bought
an old SOW in the spring for $40. She
had ten fine pigs in April, which were
fattened and sold to butcher in the
fall of the same year, bringing him
$115, and he still has the SOW for a
breeder.
Sows should be kept for a number
of years until their places can be
filled with younger ones which have
proved to be good breeders.
Formerly, heavy pork from hogs II
to "a months old land the fatter the
better was demanded. Men who
worked hard in the open air said
there was a wasting quality about pig
pork-that it shrunk in the pot "and
did not stick to the ribs.
Fortunately, this call for heavy pork
is decreasing In the farmers family,
and with people generally employed
in indoor occupations in the towns
and cities, pork from younger hogs
is preferred
This pork is not only the best, being
the tenderest and sweetest, but it is
the quickest produced, at a lower cost
and at better profit to the producer.
Young animals grow faster and
with less food than when they be,
come older, and pork from hog less
than year old does not cost so much
to produce as the pork from old hogs
To make the most money from
hogs, none, except those kept fol
breeding purposes, should ever be win
tered over.
A little alfalfa makes the corn stick
to the pigs ribs.
The well-fed litter of pigs must
have an opportunity to exercise, OF
else thumps are liable to claim the
plumpest.

NO PEACE IN SIGHT

Peace talk is cheap; yet the world may see come hone that the end of the is at least within contemplation. However, most men declare uia' hone is slight because of the terms defined by the factions.
 The absolute defeat on the partof the Germans is in substance the terms which the French would require: and on the other hand it is the German as sertion that the allies are already beaten and peace becomes impossible until the allies acknowledge ther defeat. From an outsiders standpoint the net gain so far as surface appearances go, is merely the fact that they are willing to talk peace now, condition that six months ago was not in sight
 Automatically, may be sure, the leaders in each of the armed factions on the alert. But it is quite possible and not improbable that there is hope here and there for showdown upon some proposition that will involve division of the honors and advantage.
 However, cannot deny the fact that thus far the barrier to peace raised by the different part ies are insurmountable. But having in mind the distress and world sickness of war, and considering further the consequences follow should become fact the insurmounatbity of the barrier may yet be accomplished

IN DEFENSE OF THE PRESENT
(Ellis o. Jones, in Life.)


 Things are not than they were when you were little. They only so If they have changed in any essential respect it has more likely been change for the better The misleading thing is that when you child your elders talked to you much about goodness and virtue and unsel- fishness you naturally assumed the world to be full of those admirable qualities and that the older grew the easier it to find the right path and follow it.
 In aword your elders imposed upon you. They let you believe that the worst things in the world were bad little boys and bad little girls, and that nearly everybody stopped telling liesand being sell fish after they reached certain age. You thought that a man who was kind and looked so wise as the doctor must always know what he is talking about; that judges who could wear such majestic gowns must be the acme of perspicacious impartiaty, and that teachers could not be so impatient without hav- ing a great deal of intelligence to back it up.
 And then you grew up to find that all these peo- pie are just people, and that all the wise men are In books whereupon you did stop to analyze the matter but just jumped to the conclusion that the world is deteriorating. On the contrary

NO TIME FOR Two-sPoTs

 Into the happy, innocent prattng parade of the favorite sons the Little Lord Faunteroys of the Re- publican party there burst a coarse, grownup per son, and trer pretty piping litle flutngs drown ed out by bass voice-one of the few bass voices that the Republican party has heard in years. It emerges from the sturdy lungs of James R. Mann. of the few in public life who acts invariably as if he believed that sense is better pol- tica asset than taffy. If that vere voice does not wake the party up from it's dream and make it stop its favorite-son nonsense, take serious thought 10 ltsef and send it's crop of Little Rollo favorte about their business, it has another lesson to learn in 1916 like the it learned in 1912.

IT. HE outfit OF a German army paymaster and
i the system of finance prevailing among
the armies at the front are interesting de-
tails of the German fighting machine.
Every army corps has war chest, which i,
maintained even in times of peace. In charge are
a paymaster, several bookkcepers and number Of
attendants. Three large transports, especially
constructed to carry the war chest and its guard
ans, are even in times of peace constantly kept
in working condition.
When the mobilization order is issued the war
chests are filled with currency and paper money,
which are issued to the paymaster in charge by
the Reichsbank, any of its branches The
amount OF chests contents varies according
to the strength of the army corps which it is to
supply with money during the operations but it
usually amounts to several million marks and
consists Of copper silver and gold currency in
small denominations and Of paper bills of various
denominations.
The headquarters of me army corps are also the
headquarters of the paymaster and the precious
war chest. The demands made upon the war
chests are heavy. II has been an ironclad rule
during the present war that everything consumed
or requisitioned by the troops should be paid for
in cash The soldiers themselves are being
paid at regular intervals. Provisions are paid for
in spot cash. The rolling stock must be repaired

things come up which necessitate the paying out
