GRINDING Feed.

The Illinois experiment station has
been trying out the question whether
it pays to grind feed for horses doing
hard work. AS this is out of proper
ton to the cost of grinding 1t would
seem to be profitable. AS 1t is found
that it takes a horse about twice as
long to consume dry ground feed as
it does feed that is dampened, 1t Is
certain that the feed is better pre-
pared in the mouth for digestion In
the stomach, and the feed should be
better assimilated. In feeding ground
grain allowance must be made for
the increase in bulk due to grinding.
1t requires more by measure, but less
by weight.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWSFlELD

An example of what city man can
accomplish on land will be of interest
In view of the general desire of town
people to live in the country.
A young clerk who seemed to be in
failing health got possession of two
acres near town and concluded to do
something in the line Of fruit growing.
After getting down to business he saw
that by applying the strictest princi-
pies OF intensive cultivation he would
be able to spare space for apple trees
and still get living from his green
stuff' as he went along So he ex-
pended part of his little capital on
twenty-five apple trees and as many
plum trees. with fifty grapevines, these
last taking up less room than one
would imagine, as they grew against
the buildings. The porches, front and
back, that had presented q bare ap-
pearance, benefited by this innovation.

parp roots occupied the patch for
small fruits. At first he was at a stand
between setting out some gooseberry
and currant bushes or reserving their
ground for vegetables, but decided for
the garden sass" as his need for re-
turns the first season before the straw
berries could come on was crying, ana
observation convinced him that there
Is quicker money in such planting than
in any other farming. So he spent his
extra time on vegetable and salad
growing the first two years, but by
that time his small fruits were pro
ducing, and he reveled in sweets to his
souls contentment
He started his 'early STUFF in hot
bed or most of it-eggplants set out Il
foot and half apart; tomatoes. two
feet apart; cabbage, a foot and half:
satisfy, a foot and half; parsnips,
beets, lettuce. parsley, peppergrasS, in
rows; squash, three feet apart celery,
six inches apart; peas, three to four
inches apart; bunch beans, ditto; tur-
nips, thinned to half foot apart after
leaves were big enough for salad; GU
cumbers, in hills, yard apart. The
lettuce was of two varieties, early and
late, and was cut to grow up again and
again as fast as he supplied his Gus
toners with it. Winter squashes and
pole beans were planted in the space
left by the parsley, peppergrass and
lettuce when these crops finally gave

spring, as neither peas nor squashes
do well if transplanted from hotbeds.
and peas in such large quantities
wouldn't pay to transplant even If
they could be moved. He did we'll with
his beets and turnips for salad. as
these were thinned at just the right
stage for selling for greens. The pep
pergrass he sowed in boxes in the
house in quite moist soil half an inch
deep two to three inches apart after
thinning and kept at 40 to so degrees
heat. In less than a month from ap-
pearance of plants they were ready for
cutting, which he did with shears and
repeated every two to three weeks. He
learned to divide rhubarb roots every
year and to remove to a new place
every spring. as disturbance is needed
by the roots His health improves, and
every day he learns something about
cropping and marketing.
The case Of an Illinois man who gave
up a good salary as mechanic and
settled down on ten acres of land
affords another illustration. This man
began with fowls and pigs and in the
first year had his business developed
so that he had larger income than
when he was working for wages. The
farm of ten acres raises feed for two
horses, a COW, sixty hogs and 200 chick
ems He has no rent to pay, most of
the family living is obtained from the
soil and life Is free and Independent.
On such a place as this hired help is
unnecessary unless there are more ber-
ries to pick or vegetables to take care
of than the family can manage.

AGRICULTURE AND WAR.

Ruin OF Soil In Devastated Regions
Will Take Years to Repair.
The earth itself-the soil over which
contending armies struggles suffer
ing an injury which can be calculated
in terms of several hundred million
dollars. The poets who say that the
earth sickens with bloodshed are more
right than they know.
We have been told how much the
war costs In lives, military tools, break
down of commerce and industry, de-
struction of ships. factories, railroads,
bridges and homes. An appalling total
1t makes. But an item of prime i'm
portance has been left out. Earth out
ragged presents her bill to mankind.
1t will take two to five years for the
soil OF the devastated area to recover
from its injuries. Some of the i'll ef-
fects of war on European land will last
half a century," says o. s. Morgan
professor of agriculture at Columbia
university.
The area devastated may be COM
puted in many thousands Of square
miles. There Is included the finest.
most productive soil in the world.
Let US take up newspaper item Of
some months ago stating that ], 900 900
soldiers worked for three weeks in Ga
lcia, digging trenches. The top layer
or crop growing soil. which is about a
root deep, was dug out first. On top
OF this was placed a mass Of clay,
stone, gravel. hardpan and other worth.
less stuff from the bottom of the
trenches. The good, productive soil
was buried deep under worthless ma
terial. Thousands of acres of fertile
ground in Galicia were ruined.
IF it took 100000 soldiers three
weeks to dig those trenches" says Pro-
lessor Morgan. ut will take 1000, 900
peasants at least a week and half to
fill them up when the war Is over.
The earth will have to be put back
the same way it was taken out, poor
stuff first and good stuff on top. We
know how long it takes dirt removed
from well to grow anything, even
weeds-that is, two or three years.
The trenches refilled will not be re-
stored to their original condition in
less than five years. and furthermore
the soil Of Galicia will show through
Its grain fields the scars Of the war
trenches for fifty years."
The eastern battle line is 600 miles,
the western 300 miles-0O0 miles to-
gether-Dut both hostile forces have
their own lines, which thus total
mileage of 1900. Allowing for gaps,
but adding parallel or secondary lines
and cross trenches. the European soil
is gashed with more than 5000 miles
of deep and wide bitches. The soil Is
disturbed for at least twice their width
The bitches will have to be filed. If
only to eliminate an obstacle to agri
culture.
This estimate does not include the
extensive trenching outside the theater
of war in preparation for eventualities

Trade With Latin America.

There is something of Importance
ior America in the announcement
that "Dr. Bernhard Dernburg has
been made president of the newly
formed German Economical League
for Central and South America, and
will shortly leave for a visit to those
countries" He is a recognized au-
thority on colonial trade matters,
and this visit, of course, will have

The Hesperian.

Until fuller details of the sinking
of the steamer Hesperian arc re-
ceived it is impossible to determine
whether it was the act of German
submarine, and, if so. whether 1t was
of a character to cast doubt upon
the good faith of the recent Ger
man assurances to the United States
respecting submarine warfare. If the
Hesperian was struck by torpedo
without warning or resistance the act
is dangerously close to, if not within,
the scope of being deliberately TN
friendly" if not repudiated by Ger
many.
1t is reported by the consul at
Queenstown that the Hesperian car
ried 47-inch gun mounted aft IN full
sight. According to decision rem
dered year ago by this government
the carrying of guns OF not more
than six inches caliber. if of such
number and position as to be obvious
ly for purely defensive purposes, does
not cause vessel to lose its status
as a merchant ship and to become a
war vessel. If the Hesperian's gun
was of the ca1iber named and mount
ed in full view aft it falls within this
category, and the vessel must still
be rated as a liner" such as the
German ambassador in his recent
memorandum to the State Depart
ment declared to be immune from at
tack without warning.
1t is, of course, possible that the
Hesperian struck a NINE 1t is also
possible that she was torpedoed while
in fight in such circumstances as to
give the submarine commander the
impression of an attempt to resist,
or that she was warned. Until these
factors are clearly determined Ger
many's responsibility for what may
now appear as a wanton violation of
its own pledge is not established.
Meanwhile, it is to be borne in
mind that the German ambassador S
use of the term liners" in his as
surance to Secretary Lansing of the
German submarine policy has not yet
been satisfactorily explained. 1t does
not follow that this assurance of i'm
munity to passenger vessels meets the
American contentious, which embrace
all merchantmen. In any case if the
Hesperian was torpedoed without
warning and without resistance, even
this limited pledge has been broken,
so promptly as to cast discredit upon
the good faith of the German govern
ment

Richard A. Mclean,

For more than ffty-one years a
worker for The Star. as boy and
man, Richard A. Mclean, whose sud-
den death shocked his friends yes
terday, was the examplar of loyal
efficiency. He joined The Stars me-
chanical force as printers appren-
tice, under the foremanship of his
father, whom he succeeded upon the
death of the elder Mclean in 1870.
For thirty years thereafter Mr.. Nc
Lean was in charge Of the constant
ly increasing work of putting The
Star in type. He saw the passing of
the old-style hand-sct method of
composition and the introduction of
the typesetting machine. Many other
Improvements were achieved during
his long service, all making for great
cr speed and capacity. With these
changes he kept pace, adding to his
