Real Party Politics.

A little while ago the Democrats
were charging that the Republicans, by
assailing the botch the administration
had made of our international rela-
lions, were unpatriotic In that they
were dragging partisan politics into
foreign affairs. "Partisanship," said
Robert Lansing, secretary of state,
with becoming gravity, SHOULD stop at
tide water"
Now comes the president with his
demagogic cry that If he is not re-
elected president the Republicans win
plunge the country into war. This Is
playing party politics in foreign affairs
with a vengeance. 1t endeavors to
make the other nations of the world
party to our domestic election. I'm
warranted In fact, uttered with SUI
preme carelessness as to the result on
American prestige and standing
abroad, put forth in panic when the
fatuousness of other cries was demon
strated, it marks the low estate to
which the presidency in present hands
has fallen.

sELF-FEEDING PLAN
Value Demonstrated in Recent
Experiments at BeItsviIIe.
PLAN IS VERY PRACTICABLE
Grade 6erkshires, Uniform In Size,

F'rom the United States Department of
Agricuiture.)
The value OF the self-feeder method
of fattening pigs was demonstrated in
an experiment recently carried out at
the experimental farm of the bureau of
animal industry at Beltsville, Md. The
object was to determine the value Of
this system as compared with the or
binary method of hand feeding.
The pigs used In the experiment
were grade Berkshires narrowed in the
fall Of 1915. They averaged 90 pounds
per head when the experiment started.
The handled lot were fed three
times daily, the amount being governed
by the appetites. The ration given the
handled hogs was composed of 5 parts
cornmeal, 4 parts middIings and / part
tankage. The cornmeal and supple
ments were mixed dry. Just before
feeding, the amount to be fed was
weighed and then mixed into thick
slop, enough water being used to make

averaged "a pounds per head and the
settled pigs 90 pounds per head at the
beginning of the test. AT the end of 20
days the handled pigs averaged 167.5
pounds and the settled pigs 205
pounds. 37.5 pounds more than the
handled pigs. The settled pigs con-
sumed greater quantity of feed per
head during the test than the handled
pigs, but it took only 405 pounds of
feed to produce 100 pounds at cost of
1851, while the handled pigs pro-
duced 100 pounds of gain at cost of
1921
The settled pigs made better show
ing, surprising the handled lot in both
rate and economy of gains. The re-
suits of the experiment clearly show
that for quick fattening the self-feeder
is very practicable.

TIME FOR CUTTING ALFALFA
Crop Should Be Allowed to Grow
Slightly Longer for Horses Than
Other Live Stock.
(By A. C. ARMY

For all classes of animals except
horses, alfalfa should be cut for hay
when the new shoots or stems begin
to appear at the crown. These are
easily seen just as they come up
among the old stems at about the be-
ginning of blossoming time. Cut
ting earlier than this is not desirable
or profitable, since the yield will be
smaller and the hay will be more diff
ficult to cure. 1t should not be al
lowed to get much beyond this stage
for two reasons: ~ Although a
somewhat heavier first cutting Of hay
can be secured by allowing it to stand
longer than the time recommended
the hay is neither as palatable, nor as
nutritious. (2) Leaving the first crop
after it is at the proper stage to cut
delays and reduces the second crop,
since the new shoots coming from the
crown are cut off with the first crop.
When alfalfa is to be fed to horses, it
may be allowed to grow slightly
longer than when it is to be fed to
cattle, but it should never be left I'M
til the second crop is injured in cut
ting the first crop.

Shows Democratic Weakness.

The friends of President Wilson ad.

when they persist in wanting to know
what Hughes would have done. The
query is a confession that the presi.

they were satisfied with his course
they would point to 1t with pride, but
they are not and they know that 9TH

They do not undertake to Justify
what he has done in Mexico, for ex-
ample. They fall back on the lame
expedient of asking what someone
else would have done that might be
more satisfactory. What Mr.. Hughes
would have done is not at issue. AS
The Star has pointed out before, it is
idle to discuss how he would have met
conditions that never would have de-
veloped under different handling.
The interesting fact now is not what
anyone else would have done, hut what
President Wilson did do. Even his sup

PLoW WHEAT GROUND EARLY
6uries Hessian Fly and Gives Soil
Time TO Become Moist and Com
pact Underneath.

Early blowing of wheat is beneficial
In more ways than one. Not only does
Ii bury the Hessian fly, but it also
gives time for the plowed soil to be
come moist and compact underneath
Such a condition of the soil is difficult
to secure If blowing is put off until
September. Keeping down the weeds
also conserves soil moisture and plant
foods. From five to seven hundred
tons of water are necessary to pro
duce ton of dry weeds and moist OF
this may be saved for the wheat crop
Plant food is made available more
rapidly when early blowing is prac
ticed, due to the better air circulation
If the weeds are kept down, this food
is stored up and ready to give the
wheat a quick, vigorous start when
seeding time comes. If, on the other
hand, the weeds are allowed to grow,
they will draw heavily on this plant
food and while they will eventually die
and decay, restoring 1t to the soil, the
wheat will not do well, for if the
wheat crop waits until the weeds de-
cay, the danger from winterkilling
will be greatly increased. This differ
ence in growth may make the differ
ence between winterkilling and good
spring condition.
