CLARK HITS LOAN TO ALLIES.
Speaker Says Credit Should Never
Have Been Given,

Denver, Colo, Oct. 14.-Expressing
the belief that the average mans
sentiments" are likely to be on the
side his pocketbook is interested in,
Speaker Champ Clark said here:
"If l had had the power the war
loan to the French and English would
never have been made.
Every person contributing dollar
to that war fund becomes rooter'
for the allies, and it is not right that
we should be roofing for either side.
Our sympathies are likely to follow
our dollars, and we should remain
neutral in spirit as well as in deed.
Speaker Clark said he thought
Roosevelt would be the next RepuD-
lican presidential nominee.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 13.-"The
United States is as unprepared for
peace as it is for war" George w. Per-
kins of New York told the Indiana
Bankers association here. THE war,
which disorganized US when it began,
is apt to end as suddenly and disor-
ganize us again, throwing thousands
of men out of work. he said. Amer
lea. flooded with Europe's gold, will
find that Europe to get it back will
food us with low-priced products, thus
further disorganizing US. The way to
prepare for this is for congress to ap-
noint a permanent tariff commission
to keep each item of the tariff just
where it should be in the scale to
meet conditions.

SOIL MULCH OF IMPORTANCE
Dry Farmer Must Remember That His Success Depends Upon Degree to
 Which He Prevents Waste.

So yitally important is a permanent soil mulch for the conservation for plant use of the water stored in the soil that many attempts have been made to devise means for the effective cultivation of land on which small grains and grasses are growing. In many places plants have been grown in rows so far apart that a mcn with a hoe could pass between them. Sec field has described this method as practiced successfully in Tunis. Camp bell and others in America have pro. posed that a drill hole be closed every three feet to form a path wide enough for a horse to travel in and to pull large spring-tooth cultivator with teeth so spaced as to strike between the rows of wheat. It is yet doubtful whether. under average conditions. such careful cultivation. at least of grain crops. is justified by the returns. Under conditions of high aridity or where the store of soil moisture is low. oh treatment frequently stands be- tween crop success and failure, and it is not unlikely that methods will be de vised which will permit of the cheap and rapid cultivation between the rows of growing wheat. Meanwhile, the dry farmer must always remember that the margin under which he works is small, and that his success depends upon the degree to which he prevents small wastes.
 The conservation of soil-moisture depends upon the vigorous. unremit- ting. continuous stirring of the topsoil Cultivation! cultivation, and more cul- tivation. must be the war cry of the dry farmer who battles against the water thieves of an arid climate

Exercise is not only beneficial to the muscular and maternal development of breeding sows, but it prevents con- stipation. which is one of the most serious problems we have to contend with, If our sows are in good flesh condition.
 Breeding bulls, boars, rams and stallions should have plenty of fresh air, light and exercise during the win ter. Our animals cannot develop good Done. muscle, constitution. etc. if they are compelled to spend the winter in the dark. filthy. poorly ventilated pens and stables and not allowed to exer- else during the favorable weather.
 The grain ration of breeding anil mals had best be made up largely of his homegrown grain foods, such as corn. oats, barley and peas. supple mented by such purchased foods as wheat bran, middlings and linseed oil meal
 Care should be exercised to avoid feeding too much heat-producing foods. but we should strive to main- tain the breeding animals in a good, vigorous fiesh-forming condition, by feeding them a ration made up of clean, wholesome blood, bone and muscle forming foods.
 Clover, alfalfa and mixed hay cut early and cured properly, are the bes: kinds of roughage for breeding ami mals of all kinds during the winter.
 We must not forget the brood saws when feeding clover and alfalfa hay, as these folders will afford bulk, which is so essential in maintaining g them in healthy, vigorous, flesh forming condition.
 The mechanical condition of the feeds may be greatly improved by run ming through cutting box and steam ing and mixing with wheat bran, mid dlings and other mill feeds before 1t is fed to the brood sows.
 All breeding animals should have an abundance of succulent foods during the winter. and these may be pro vided by laying in supply of corn ensilage and roots. For breeding sows, roots, vegetables and waste fruits are the best form of succulence, and it will pay every farmer to raise crop of roots to feed his breeding swine during the winter.
 Some farmers and writers advocate feeding hogs corn ensilage, but I am not in favor of this practice and have seen no good results from feeding ensilage to hogs.
 For breeding ewes, roots and vege- tables are the best kind of succulent foods, although corn ensilage may be used. with fairly good results. In feeding corn ensilage to breeding ewes better results will come from feeding it once a day and allowing for each eve two to four pounds at feed. Ensilage is not a good food for brood mares and great care shoIld be exercised in feeding 1t if any is fed to them.

KEEP THE STABLES
 CLEAN IN WINTER
Do Not Allow Manure to Accu. muIate, but Spread It on
 Land at Once.

These pleasant days of winter when there is little to do is good time to look at the stable and yard to see if manure has not begun to accumulate. and if any is found there is no better time than the present to scatter it out over the land. If any land Is left to be plowed in the spring this land will be especially benefited by having the manure spread as soon as possible. Later on, as the manure begins to pile up more and all the other land has been covered, it would be a good thing to remember the lucern patch by giving it a good coat of this very fine plant food. In hauling the ma nure. b. all means do not leave it in little piles over the field but spread it out at once.
