separately and see what each one
needs. The COW that is now giving
milk will use more grain to advantage
than one that has not yet begun the
seasons work. She is putting some
OF this grain in the pail and some into
her own body. To get her up to the

give her generous ration OF flesh

Such figures ought to help dispel the
prevalent American notion that Siberia
is vast and lonesome compound of
snowstorms, political convicts. wolves

IBERIA probably has more cutivable
land than Canada, and her forests are
not much short of the Canadian stand
ard She has unusual mineral re-
sources, too. Nothing that the Russian
government can organize in the way
of settlement compares in efficiency
with the spontaneous colonization of

European standards the peopling of

The action of certain German socie-
ties in this country in adopting reso-
luton calling upon congress to pass a
law requiring every newspaper to pub
lish the nationality of its editor is
about the most ridiculous contribution
that has been made to the German i'm
broglio. The idea seems to be that
most of the American newspapers have
English editors and upon this assump-
ton the German Americans propose to
show up the source Of anti-German
sentiment in this country. We do not
know what proportion of the editors
of the country are English, but what
ever 1t is we know that it has nothing
to do with American sentiment toward
the nations involved in the European
war There are incidents recorded in
the history of our country which make
plain natural sympathy among AM
orleans for Russia, France and Eng
land. Against this there Is the Ger
man military machine built up and
now set in motion for the ayoWed pur-
pose of Germanizing the world and in
the operation of which all the rules of
civilized warfare are disregarded. Is
it any wonder that the sympathy of
Americans is with the allies?

What 'spelter' was? The second hast

dross, composed of lead. zinc, and tin,

latter word is derived from spiauter.
