FARM ACCOUNTING
Some System Even is Simple One Is Needed to Meet New Situation.

The shortage of labor may affect the
 dairy enterprise to such an extent as
 to make it necessary to modify the
 plans to meet the local conditions. The
 farmer who is planning to reduce the
 number of cows in his herd this winter
 should have no difficulty in selecting
 the poor cows, provided he keeps a
 record Of the production of each COW.
 One of the big leaks in the farm bus
 mess is keeping cows that do not pay
 their feed bill. The question should
 be then, Are the cows doing as well as
 they should? The poor COW consumes
 as much feed as the good COW and it
 takes as much labor to grow crops to
 feed and to take care of the one as it
 doeS for the other.
 The good animal which produces twice as much milk the poor animal
 reduces the cost Of prdouction ne-half.
 It pays to keep only such cows which,
 with proper care and feed, return a satisfactory profit.
 The complications of war are af- fecting farming the same as every other business. The business man is meeting the changing conditions by studying his business and adopting more efficient business methods. The farmer who prepares to meet new sit uations can no longer afford to guess at what he is doing. He must know which are the profitable and unproft able enterprises of the farm business and it is much easier, and more oc- curate to draw conclusions from few figures than to depend too much up- on the imagination. The need of some accounts are> evident in order to de- termine the true condition of the farm business and what methods should be undertaken to improve the system of management The farmer should be able to ascertain the various sources fro which he derives his income. the ways in which he spends his money and the amount invested in his bus mess, in order to cope with the condi- tions which are constantly varying Such simple accounts if used will be very helpful in planning methods of improvement through a better under standing of the farm business-B.

edy for low prices" Years ago tIAi statement was made by an eminent scientist-was disbelieved for a time Was then tolerated-and is now talk en almost as a creed with nearly all agricultural workers. This statement is true, is also the converse. Pres ent high prices of farm crops make high farming possible.
 Years ago the farmers of Illinois, iowa, and Minnesota burned thEir manure and straw piles. They had to the piles were in the way. They ob- structed the streets of the new grow ing towns and hamlets. With a soil in the first flush of fertility, and with
 wheat at low price, the cost of haul ing and spreading was not returned in the increase of crop. So the manure and straw were burned, or dumped in to holIows. or disposed of in any way
 possible. Today, the land is past it's virgin fertility. Wheat is higher than ever.

NO PEACE PARLEYS. (Continued from Page One.)

whole attention and energy should be concentrated on the vigorous and rapid and successful prosecution of the great task of winning of this war
 A War of High Principle
 We can do this with all the greater zeal and enthusiasm because we know that for. us this is war of high prin- ciple debased by no selfish ambition Of conquest or spoliation because we know, and all the world knows, thas we have been forced into it to save the very institutions we live under from corruption and destruction. The purposes of the central powers strike straight at the very heart of every thing we believe in; their methods of warfare outrage every principle of humanity and knightly honor; their intrigue has corrupted the very thought and spirit of many of our people; their sinister and secret di- plomacy has sought to take our very territory away from us and disrupt the union of the states. Our safety would be at an end, our honor for ever sullied and brought into contempt were we to permit their triumph They are striking at the very existence of democracy and liberty
 Free People Banded Together.
 It is because it is for US war of high, disinterested purpose, in which all the free peoples of the world are banded together for the vindication of
 
 our nation and of all that it has held dear of principle and of purpose that we feel ourselves doub1y constrained to propose for it's outcome only that which is righteous and of irreproach able intention, for our foes as well as for our friends. The cause beinr just and holy, the settlement must be of like motive and quality. For this we can fight, but for nothing less noble or less worthy of our traditions. For this cause we entered the war and for this cause will we battle until the last gun is fired.
 Why He Spoke Plainly.
 I have spoken plainly because this seems to me the time when it is most necessary to speak plainly in order that all the world may know that even in the heat and ardor Of the struggle and when our whole thought is of car rying the war through to it's end we have not forgotten any ideal or prin- ciple for which the name of America has been held in honor among the na tions and for which it has been our glory to contend in the great genera tions that went before us supreme moment of history has come The eyes of the people have been opened and they see The hand of God is laid upon the nations.
 He will show them favor. I devoutly believe, only if they rise to the clear heights of His own justice and mercy

HOW TO HANDLE SHEEP.

.'To have good mutton the sheep must be in good health. fat, and ga fz4. ing in flesh. In preparing for sIaugh- ter, the sheep should be taken off feed for about fifteen hours, with the eX- ception of lambs. which are liable to worry if taken from their mothers
 causing q rise in temperature. Al- ways handle tiie sheep with care Do not chase, kick or pound them around
 and never pull them around by the fleece. as. this will leave colored and bruised spots on the carcass. Ese. proper way to catch a sheep is by the hind leg, neck, or rear flank and hold it by placing { one hand. under the lower jaw and the other at the dock.

Under normal conditions the use of cordwood for fuel within this state is limited to certain industries, fireplace use and domestic use at a .distanoe e from sources of coal supply. The present war conditions with the short
 age of coal demands the use of wood throughouhout the year on the farm and during the spring and fall in the city The brass industries, wood dis tillation plants, lime kilns and char
 coal burners are demanding an in creasing amount of cordwood. The available supply. is limited due to the lack of wood choppers the past year. There is little doubt that cordwood cut now will find a ready market either in the neighboring town or at

game bird in this country and proba- ply is hit less than any bird in the
 world with the possible exception o1 the snipe.
 Nature has endowed the ruffed grouse with fine means of protection and the way the bird uses these means makes him seem a brainy creature. The coiors of the ruffed grouse Sc closely resembles the woodland sur
 roundipgs in the fall that one may al- most walk Orf them without seeing i them. The bird, making use of its coloring, generally lives in rugged country, where underbush and spruce
 make his detection difficult. Once flushed, the ruffed grouse flies
 so as to put tree between himself
 and the hunter, adding to the difficult ty of locating him. The bird, unlike quail, is seldom found in covies and consequ uently is hard to hit. | The hunter must always be ready with gun in position to shoot and shoot quick.
 Work well the underbrush and little spruces along the sides of ravines. Go in the dense places in the woodland
 for the ruffed grouse is a recluse. The grouse, when once under way, will fly straight, and it is well to hunt
 him with. more than one in the party. The hunter who might be on the line of flight is sure to get a shot. The ruffed grouse rises from cover with thunderous precision and the
 successful hunter of this bird must
 leave his nerves at home. The uni tiated is liable to be more frightened than the bird.
 Ruffed grouse do not lie well to the
 dog, running speedily and quietly
 ahead of the animal before making
 flight.
