The Lure of the Land

It's high time somebody warned
Observation-Disclosures that there are un-
scrupulous land dealers; that farming
is not romance, but business; that
business farmer doesn't put all his
capital into land, and doesn't over
equip. The Country Gentleman says
this and more.

Bridge Graft Not Dead

The bridge building graft is not Ell
tirely dead in Iowa i'm spite of the
hard - fight that has been waged
against it for the past three years un
der the highway commission system
according to members OF the commits
sion at Ames. They maintain that
straight contracts for completed work
and competent inspection during con
structiOn of the job are the only safe
guards against graft in building with
such 4 contractor as was awarded a
bridge building job recently in Iowa.
TO this bridge building concern was
let a certain piece Of work upon plus
percentage basis. When the county
engineer and supervisors analysed the
bill presented they found the contrac-
tor had charged $40 for cement cost
ing $3.50. He had not only allowed
nothing for the use of the county
mixer, which he had borrowed, but
had charged up to the county the cost

Forestere Take Big Trip.

From q three months back to the
woods" trip on which they devoted
their time to the study of different
lines of forestry work on many forest
reserves of the west, fifteen sophomore
forestry students of Iowa State college
have Just returned. The party left
Ames in June, under the direction OF
forestry instructors.
This is probably one Of the longest
trips made by any body OF forestry stu
dents for the. purpose Of study. The
boys visited forest districts in Colo.
RADIO, Utah, California, Oregon. Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana and Mime
sofa.
The longest camp Of three weeks
duration was made in the Columbia
national forests In Washington.
The students had the opportunity OF
studying first hand. the methods OF
logging, milling. forest protection, re-
timber cruising, wood us
ing plants and hundreds of other for
estry operations.
The entire route covered several
thousand miles, but was made at very
small relative cost to each member.
The boys beds were the open woods
and their meals were self prepared,
each member taking turns at cooking.

Good Cow for Family.

to feed a good COW, provided there is a pasture. If there is only a very small pasture the farmer may plant soiling crops and thus keep COW very economically.
 The dairy cows under reasonable conditions will save nearly or quite half of the expenses of small fam fly. Where one must run store ac- count such bills may be cut in half by good COW.
 Since we are to feed ourselves this year instead of the cotton specula- tors, why not invest in at least enough COWS to supply the family table with all the milk and butter that can be used?
 Most farmers could well afford to raise few heifers every year. There is very little difficulty in selling good | COWS. With silo, a few acres in permanent pasture and crops for graz | ing at times when the permanent pas ture and the silo may not be suffi cient, will cost very little to raise two or three heifers every year.
 Try it. Use some of the acreage in raising calves and maintaining | COWS.

EARLY MATCHING PAYS. BEST
Farmer Loses Much Profit on Eggs by Not Giving Young Stock Suff-
 cient Time to Mature.

av }ty PROF. H: I. CHESTER, Univer- B few months, retu1ege o1 Agricul- 4 near Cisco, last e .oo.. +o 2 gec7 aMIss next winter must have his chickens hatch early this spring. It re- quires from five to seven months for a three ta five pound hen to mature so that she will lay. Then hen of the heavier breeds such as Rocks, Reds. Wyandottes, etc., weighing from live to eight pounds each require from one to three months longer. This is based on the assumption that the chicks are kept growing well during the summer months. The Missouri farmer loses large profits from winter eggs because he does not give his young stock sui ficient time to mature before winter sets in. This prevents his flock be- ing productive during the winter months.
 Unless a bullet is laying in Decem- Der it is practically impossible for her to lay much until February, according to experiments at the Missouri agrl- cultural station. This shows the neces' sity of matching early. If the hatch is completed by May 15 there remains but seven months in which to mature the bullets. If winter eggs are ex pected, the hatch should be completed before that time. Egg records show that early laying pullets-Novembe and December-are the ones tha make the high egg yields and also la! eggs at the time of the year whel the price is the highest
 Early matching is important, no only from the standpoint of next year winter egg yield but also because tn early matched chick comes fror stronger eggs, and the chicks get
 start before the extreme hot weathe
 arrives. For those two reasons tn
 poultrykeeper should exert every el
 ergy to get off the hatch as soon a
 possible.

that is said or did by the sentiments
 of genuine friendship, which the peo- pie of the United States have always
 entertained, and continue to entertain,
 towards the German nation. It has,
 of course, accepted the successive eX- plantations and assurances of the lm-
 perial German government, as given in
 entire sincerity and good faith, and
 has hoped, even against hope, that it
 would prove to be possible for the Ger man government so to order and con-
 trol the acts of it's naval commanders as to square it's policy with the princi-
 ples of humanity as embodied in the laws of nations. It has been willing to
 wait until the significance of the acts became absolutely unmistakably and susceptible of but one interpretation.
 That point has now unhappily been reached. The facts are susceptible of but one interpretation. The Imperial German government has been unable to put any limits or restraints upon it's warfare against either freight or pas senger ships. It has therefore become painfully evident that the position which this government took at the very outset is inevitable, namely, that the use of the submarines for the de- struction of an enemy's comerce is of necessity because of the very charac- ter of the vessels employed and the very method Of attack which their em- ployment of course involves, incom- patible with the principles of humanity the long established and incontroverti- ble rights of neutrals and the sacred immunities of noncombatants
 q have deemed it my duty there fore, to say to the Imperial German government that if it is still it purpose to prosecute relentless and indiscrim- mate warfare against vessels of com- merce by the use of submarines, not withStanding the now demonstrated impossibility of conducting that war fare in accordance with what the gov ernment of the United States must consider the sacred and indisputable rules of international law and the uni Versally recognized dictates of hu- manity, the government of the United States is at last forced to the con- clusion that there is but one course it can pursue; and that unless the I'm perial government should now imme- diately declare and effect an abandon ment of it's present methods of war fare against passenger and freight yes sells, this government can have no choice but to sever diplomatic rela- tions with the government of the Ger man empire altogether
 q have taken it, and taken it in the that it will meet with your approval and support. All sober minded men must unite in hoping that the Imperial German government, which has in other circumstances stood as the champion of all that we Ire now contending for in the interest )f humanity, may recognize the jus ice of our demands and meet them in he spirit in which they are made"

N, l.ucyN PEACE STRENGTH BILL
 PASSED BY THAT BODY.
Substitute for Hay Measure Provides for 25o,o00 Regular Forces, 25o,ooo
 Reserves and 261 ,00o Guards.

Washington, D. C.-Military lead CTS are discussing with unprecedented interest what the bill passed by the senate Tuesday, providing for nearly a million men in the regular army and reserve militia, means as step to- ward preparedness. The measure, passed without recorded vote, was substitute for the Hay bill passed 1 by the house.
 The senate measure made provision for a regular standing army with a peace strength of 250,000 men, as com pared with 140,000 under the Hay bill, retained a plan for an army reserve force of about 261, ,O0O men and a fed eralized national guard of about 28O,- 900 men.
 In addition, an amendment was
 passed to create school and college
 youths reserve corps in time of war
 or threatened war, which would re
 cruit a force of trained young men
 schooled by officers of the regular
 army, the estimated strength of which
 is estimated anywhere from 200, ,000 tc
 400, ,000.
 'We are creating here peace army
 of a million men," declared Senator Myers, in supporting an amendment O Senator Reed to make the regula army 100000. The senate had agreed
 previously, by vote of 43 to 37, to al amendment by Senator Brandegee, ir creasing it from the proposed strengt ' of 1S0,00O to 250,000 The Reed redut l ing proposal was rejected, Az to 8 - after brief speech by Senator Wi 2 Hams, in which he referred to the so I emnity of the occasion which Woul

Are we or are W $ not threatened with war over the su K marine controversy? Have not V y been called to assemble in joint SC K sion, the solemn purpose of which V 1- do not ourselves definitely unde II stand?"
