quantity that you would all take steps
to be more careful in the future.
One of the most common ways of
wasting feed is to feed it upon the
ground when the surface is wet or
soft. Feed scattered about in this
fashion VIII soon be tramped upon and
buried under the mud. Pigs, especially,
are wasteful of feed given to them in
this way, but many feeders have real
lied the loss and have prevented it by
building concrete feeding floors
which will not only pay their cost in
the feed they save in few years, but
enable the quarters to be kept in a
more sanitary condition.
Feed may be wasted when it is fed
In the hangers in excess of the ami
mails needs. This is a loss that is
easily preventable, for the feeder If
he is observing will know Just how
much the animal will eat up clean.
For feeding alfalfa, clover, soy bean
hay or other coarse feed. rack Of
the kind shown in the illustration is
handy and prevents waste. More sim
pie racks are often constructed on the
inside OF hog house by placing them
against one OF the sides OF the build
ing or adjoined to the pen partition.

Need for Cooperation Between State
Highway and state Prison De-
partmcnts IL Outlined.

The state highway department
should hire convicts from the state
prison department IN exactly the same
way as II would hire free laborers,
and at the same price per day. Dur
ing the hours OF work the men should
not BIO thought OF as convicts, but sim
ply as employees of the highway de-
partment. No payment should be made
for a single hour not worked and a
man discharged should be removed at
once and permanently, while the high
way department should have no re-
sponsibility for nor authority over the
convicts at any time nor in any man.
ner except to conduct their work or
to discharge them"
This need for cooperation between
the state highway and state prison
departments is strongly urged in q
report made to the New York state
highway department by David ]. Shor-
er, who was in charge of the convict
road work in Green county, New York,
during the summer of 1914.
Mr.. Shorer's practical experience
has demonstrated the Importance of
the recommendation for cooperation
between the highway and prison de-
partments in conducting convict road
work, which the national committee
on prisons and prison labor has adj
vocated for a number of years and has
been instrumental in embodying into
the laws of the state of West vir-
ginia.
The work In Green county, New
York, was carried on under most diff
fcult conditions. The men arrived at
the camp before the organization and
equipment were completed. They
were sent there without regard to
their suitability for the work and al
most one-fourth were totally unfit and
had to be returned to the prison. Ar
rangements for feeding the men were
unsatisfactory. while winter made efi-
cient work impossible fully two weeks
before they were removed from the
camp.
In spite OF these difficulties Mr..
Shorer reports that. taking the so con-
victs who were retained at the camp,
and comparing them with 81 civilians
also working at the camp, the con-
victs averaged better than the civil

DAMAGED WHEAT FOR SWINE
Greater Gains Obtained In Tests In
Feeding It Alone Than With Corn
In Fattenlng Hogs.

The grade and market price OF part
OF the 1915 wheat crop has been so
much reduced bysprouting IN the shock
that 1t ia not too high for hog feed.
Recent feeding tests by L. A. Weaver
at the Missouri experiment station
have shown that wheat fed sione gives
greater gains in fattenings hogs than
either corn alone or corn mixed With
wheat. The addition OF tankase TO the
ration resulted in still more econom-
ical gains. especially during the early
part Of the feeding period.
II ground. the wheat is better digest

he maintains there will be no difficulty
in using convicts for this type of work
with good results for the money ex-
pended.
The national committee on prisons
and prison labor calls special atten-
ton to this report and it's conclusion
that two factors are essential to the
success of convict road work. Re-
sponsibility for administration must
be placed in the hands of those COM
petent to meet it, and the men en-
couraged through system of rewards

possible over long stretch Of the road
into the interior Of Asia Minor. With
this concession has likewise come the
possession Of the town of Alexandret-
ia, on the coast, which the Germans
were at the outbreak of the war rap.
idly developing into port of consider
able Importance.
The keys to this line and to tie rich
country that lies tributary to it are the
western terminus at Scutari,, opposite
10 Constantinople, and the section
westward from Aleppo. That the Ger
mans wish to fortify their possession
Of this road by actual occupation of it
seems one of the motives Of their pres
ent movement.
Again, the coast of Asia Minor and
Syria has for years been a matter that
has assumed great importance in every
discussion Of the final apportionment of
the Ottoman empire. Italy and France
among the allies have tentatively d.
vided this coast, while in the offer that
was made to Greece there was includ-
ed the section from Smyrna to the gulf
Of Adalia. The islands lying off the
coast are also expected as spells Of war
by the allies in case Of their success.
The important island Of Rhodes is al
ready occupied by Italy, as are also
Kos, stampalia and several other of
the smaller Sporades. Samos, Chios
and Mytilene have been included in the
concession to Greece if she would es-
pouse the allies cause. Smyrna can be
easily reached by the Germans from
Constantinople, and from the former
place they might be able to exercise a
control over much of the coast both to
the north and south Of Smyrna bay.

mountain peaks alternate with deep
canyons for many miles along the

Their north are low lying, swampy lands
quite as difficult for military purposes
as the mountains. The most promis-
ing field for invasion is from the north
over the plains Of Hungary and on
across the Danube and the Save.

lowing the same tactics that proved so

year, will make their stand in the in

Servia's assistance through Saloniki.

the Servian army it's stand against
this double inYason was hopeless, even
with such aid as the allies may give
Once arrived at Constantinople, with
Servia crushed and the Bulgarian army
behind her to keep the lines open for
the movement Of troops and supplies,
Germany will be prepared for the de-
velopment Of her eastern campaign.
Any forecast of what direction this
campaign might take must at the pres
ent time be pure speculation. Many
expeditions are. possible that would
threaten the allies from many sides,
but so large loom the practical difficult
ties in the way that even speculation
goes wild. The one fact that Germany
has not a single ship free on the sea
would be enough to discourage any
but the most active imagination.
AS is well known, Germany has long
seen her brightest future in the east.
For many years her cleverest diploma
cy and her most careful commercial
colonization schemes have been direct
ed there. So intrenched has she be-
come in Asia Minor and Palestine that
an English consul reported that Ger
mans could get for the mere asking
concessions that it took Englishmen
many years of work and scheming to
secure. The building Of the Bagdad
railroad has been regarded as one Of
Germany's greatest triumphs in the
east. The Importance that she herself
attached to it in the present crisis is
shown by the fact that work on it has
been vigorously pushed.
Connects Europe and India.
This railroad is designed as the great
connecting link between the trade and
travel routes of western Europe and
the Persian gulf and India. Tunnels

Palestine. Here the French have built
several railroads and have through
their commercial agencies created
growing colonies and a thriving bust
ness. 1t is doubtful, though, If the
French have as strong hold upon Pal
estine as the Germans themselves.
Count Won Bieberstein during his very
able and ,shreWd management of the
German embassy at Constantinople
succeeded in securing innumerable con-
cessions at Jerusalem, Damascus and
other towns Of the Holy Land
There is railroad leading down the
Syrian coast from Aleppo to beyond the
Dead sea and on to Medina, and by
means Of this the German forces, so fa1
as opposition from the people Of the
country is concerned, could take up the
route to Suez. There would still be be-
fore them, however, the desert of ct
Tih, but as this was crossed earlier in
the war by a Turkish force there seems
no reason why the Teutons might not
undertake the same expedition with
some assurance Of success.
Submarines Cooperate.
The activities Of the German and
Austrian submarines In the Mediterra-
mean sea form another interesting
phase Of the proposed invasion Of the
near east by the Teutonic allies. Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor to the United States, announced
some time ago that many British and
French ships had been torpedoed in
these waters. Then came the sinking
of the italian liner Ancona
The German U boats succeeded in
slipping past Gibraltar, where the allies
were supposed to have many watchful
patrol boats in wait for the enemy.
But during the night the submarines
gained entrance into the Mediterranean
and for weeks played havoc with allied
shipping. The daring Of the rndersea
boats in making the trip from the Kiel
canal to the Austrian coast has not
been surpassed during the war.

movement on the sea to aid her in
must be entirely movement by land
and must be accomplished on foot.
With the development of events it
becomes increasingly apparent that
Bulgaria's choice Of allies was made
some time before the official announce
ment. The glittering rewards dangled
before King Ferdinand by the Teutons
were apparently too much for his am
bilious soul to withstand. The pos
sibility constantly kept before him Of
wearing the crown Of Byzantium and
Of controlling the Dardanelles was
much more alluring than was the ac-
QUESTION of the narrow strip Of Mace
flonia which the allies were prepared
TO yield to him. The weeks Of indie
cision were, after all, merely cloak
to cover the German preparations for
what promises to be the boldest, most
audaciOls stroke Of the entire war,
Servia the Weak Point.
In formulating the plan for a great
drive toward the east the position Of
Bulgaria presented the greatest diff
Guilty to the Teutons, since any ad.
vance into Turkey must sooner or lat
er cross Bulgarian soil. But with Bull
garia cooperating, half the problem
was solved. There remained then the
choice Of two courses of procedure, to
violate the neutrality Of Roumania to
reach Bulgaria or to fight way across
Servia. The first of these was reject
ed. She would hesitate long before
taking steps that would bring Rouma-
MAS fine army into the ranks of her
enemies. Servia, unbroken though she
was by her last years campaign
against Austria and her long wrestle
with disease, seemed the weak point in
the path, and here accordingly the leu
ton entering wedge was directed.
On the west the natural defenses of
Servia are so strong as to discourage
Invasion from that direction. Rugged
