The mos impressive side of our pri- mary and election returns is the num- Der of men wh odo not take the trou- bIe to vote. We applaud the forefath- CTS who offered their lives in their courtry's service. Yet the thing they were fighting for was merely the power of casting a real ballot. Many of us today do not consider that worth the bother of a half E7ile walk. It needs to besaid over and over again that attendance on primaries is quite as important as voting at cleo tons. The results at elections are often a foregone conclusion. The pri-
 naries are a melting pot where the politicians are trying out the tempe of the people. A vote there counts high. Many men will not go near pri- mary elections or caucuses because they consider them manipulated by politicians. When they are thus ma
 nipulated it is merely because the bulk of the voters stay away. If primaries were as well attended everywhere as elections, little would be heard about rings and machines-Meriden Journal.

Last winter and spring and even this summer Connecticut in common with the rest of the country has had some experience with freight embar goes. With the resumption Of business activity in the fall there will be the same congestion, which will be made more serious unless receivers Of freight cooperate to the extent of unloading cars promptly and releas- ing them. Undoubtedly the demands put upon the railroads this fall will be the greatest in history and if a tie up even more serious than last spring is avoided it will be largely throUgh good fortune.

Whatever talk you may hear of peace on this side of the water, there is nothing in the developments abroad, or in the statements by the great leaders that would justify the assunp- tion that peace is close at hand.

FEED ALFALFA WITH SlLAGE
Particularly Adapted for Young Cattle
Corn Must BE Fed TO Produce
Solid Fat.

CBy RAY A. LAKEWOOD. Kansas Agri-
cultural College.)
Alfalfa when fed with silage is par
tlcularly well adapted as feed for
young cattle. In the beginning Of the
fnttening process, the cattle viii con-
sumo from 10 to 30 pounds OF hay and
silage day. Alfalfa hay fed alone
does not produce the same effect on
cattle that II does when fed In connec-
ton with sllage, because the latter is
more succulent and more palatable
than the former.
AS cattle approach the marketable
point, corn must be fed In quantities
readily consumed to produce solid fat.
At this stage alfalfa and silage should
not be fed in such large quantities as
formerly, because the cattle do not
reed the extra protein. Taking all
facts into consideration, alfalfa hay,
silage and corn are the most economi-
cal fat producers IL fed In correct
proportions.

In the 10 states adapted to growing
beets there are about 100000 farms
and 27s.719,622 acres of improved
land. Therefore, If every farmer in
four OF these states would plant n
three-acre patch and give il the care
that could readily be bestowed upon
so small plot, 1t would be unneces-
sary for Us 10 buy foreign sugar.
Two-thirds of 1 per cent OF the inn

sugar beet would accomplish this re-
suit, and mere than that acreage lies
idle, absolutely unused, every year.
Any one Of the states Of Hines, Iowa,

TAX ON WAGE FARMERS DUE
Many English Workers May Escape
the Income Assessment Re-
Gently Levied.

Our civil service correspondent
writes, according TO the London Tele-
graph:
"The first quarterly income tax as
sessment on wage earners is now due,
the period according to the finance act
of 1915, under which the rate was inn
posed, having commenced on April l,
this year. Only those earning wages
above f130 sterling ($650) a year are
liable. 1t is estimated that about 900,-
600 workers will come under survey,
but after the usual attachments and
reliefs are given large proportion of
those will be exempt, and Ii is as yet
impossible to say how many will be-
come actually liable to the tax, or
what amount may be expected TO be
received.
"When the abatement of f120 and
the relief in respect of children (f25
each) and the deductions for life IN.
surance are taken into account, ii Is
believed that the actual number OF
wage earners who will pay income tax
will turn out much smaller than is
popularity supposed, unless the high
wages due TO the war may upset pre-
viOus estimates. The tax may be pait
by weekly installments by means OF
post office stamps where the amount
of tax for any quarter exceeds 81,
shillings. This is a concession which
will greatly facilitate payment, anC
no doubt will be largely availed Of"
