OUR TREMENDOUS TASK

Minneapolis Journal: Each day
makes more apparent the tremendous
seriousness of the task that lies be-
fore the United States. Steadily it
becomes clearer that if we and our
Allies are to emerge from this strug-
gle victorious, as we must it demo
cracy is to remain alive on this earth,
every ounce of energy, every dollar
of our resources, every bit of our abil'
tiles must be thrown into the scales
and that promptly.
In one sense the Italian debacle and
Kerensky's statement, dark as they
make the prospect, are good thing
for US. They have dispelled false
aid unwarranted optimism. They
show us that this is our fight, our bur
den. The United States and no one
else must defeat Germany.
To do it demands an absolutely
united country. The time for mushy
sentimentality is over. The day OF
the pro-German pacifist, the anti
American Socialist, the wrecker OF
munition plants, the La Follettes, the
Lundeens, must be brought to a
speedy end. This country and the in
situations it stands for must live.
1t is about time that government
served notice in no uncertain terms
and backed its notice with prompt
vigorous and sweeping action, thai
there is no place in this country out
side Of an internment camp for those
who are not Fundamentally with the
United States in it's hour of trial.

FEED OF THE DAIRY COW .

There is very great scarcity or
roughages in this section Of the coun-
try Ills year. Added to this fact, the
grains are very high in price. Be
cause of these conditions, there is
very serious feed question IN this
county for the fall and winter. A
good many farmers are at a loss to
know how to meet the situation. Some
are asking whether they can afford to
feed grain to cattle; whether they can
afford to buy hay and run their young
stock through the winter, etc.
In answering these questions one
ought 10 remember that it never pays
to keep a COW, calf, hen, or even a
hired man around which does not pay
for its board. Every day COW is not
returning milk, adding weight, or
growing an offspring, she is not pay
ing for her board. If one feeds calf
just enough to keep it alive but not
enough to make that calf gain at least
little, he is losing practically what
he is putting into the calf.
Then again, one ought to remember
that the only way COW can pay for
her board and make a profit besides,
is for that COW to produce milk. To
with which to make the milk.
The roughages fed to the common
dairy cow in this county are, wild hay,
corn fodder and oats straw. All of
these feeds Lack in protein, an ele-
ment which is found in milk to quite
an extent and which must be supplied
to the COW if it is to be found in the
milk. The only way to supply this to
the ration is tG feed it in the form of
grain, especially where alfalfa or
clever is not fed. AS a general rule
cow should have pound of grain
for every four or five pounds of milk
she gives. That would mean about
five pounds Of grain for COW giving
20 pounds OF milk day, This would
mean about ten cents worth of grain
a day if the grain were made up of,
say four pounds of oats and one of
bran.
When butter is selling for from IS
to so cents per pound as it is now, the
increase in butter fat will pay for
the grain and make splendid percent
of profit on the money expended in
grain But it is a question whether
the COW will make profit on her keep
when she receives only roughages.
Feed all stock carefully, but by all
means give the COW which is giving
milk some grain, preferably ground
oats and bran Or oil meal.
All young cattle under two years OF
age should also receive some grain
say about two to two and one hall
pounds per day. This will keep them
growing little all winter.

OUR COMMON VEGETABLES

Among the suggestions given out
0y the food administration, we find
several pertaining 10 the use of veg
etables in the diet. We are urged to
double the use of vegetables, the sup
ply is abundant, vegetables are health
full and in part take the place of wheat
and meat. To use perishable foods
directly aids in conserving the staples.
A study OF our food habits has
shown that we use fruit and veget-
ables to supply only about IA per cent
of the heat requirements of the body.
A diet containing an abundance of
fruit and vegetables may be desirable
and palatable if these foods are pre-
pared in variety of ways. They fur
nish large part OF the minerals
needed in the body such as iron, cal
scium and phosphorus, and also give
bulk to cur food. Some may be used
partly to replace cereals and sugar
and to smaller extent even meat
The carrot is a vegetable that has
not been given it's rightful place in
the diet. This is doubtless due to
the fact that it is not easily digested
Wy SOAAC bCopAC IL Is
than the turnip owing to the fact that
it contains nearly 1G per cent of sugar.
The carrot is more used by the French
than by ourselves both as vegetable
and as a pleasing addition to soups
and steWs. 1t is claimed that the
French women owe their beautiful
complexion to the eating of carrots.
When raw the carrot has antiseptic
properties. In many parts of Europe
the root is cut, dried and roasted and
used as substitute for coffee.
Carrots should be eaten in the fall
and early winter in preference to the
canned vegetables which may be pro-
cured at any season of the year.
The following recipes have been!
tested and found most desirable.
Carrot Conserve
Wash and peel carrots, and put
through the grinder. For IL cups Of
carrot use 8 or cups Of water and
boil till tender,

THE LINKED ARMS

into the little French town-a town
that they must not name
IN the dark of mOonless night the
American regiment came.
With never the sound of a rolling
drum,
With never torch to fame.
But the townsfolk stirred, awoke. thew
thronged to the little square
Ihere was neither sound of a cheer
nor murmur Of whispered prayer
But never a man of the marching men
Could doubt of his welcome there
For the blue-bloused arms were thrust
throug the arms of khaki brown.
Shoulder to shoulder there thew
marched through the little town:
AS men with their mates NAV walk,
AS comrades among their own.
There was never a spoken word to
welcome, rejoice or bless,
Eut clearer than word or sound was
the linked arms close caress,
For France said Brother of mine,
And America answered yes"

A TYPOGRAPHICAL TWIST

A TYPOGRAPHICAL TWIST
! wrote an optimistic verse s
To keep my heart from signing.
The world has gone from bad to worse
And men were vainly dying
50 thus l forced myself to- sing
In face of dire defeat:
Mans laughter is the wholesome
thing
That makes this sad world sweet"
My message never reached mankind,
That had such need to hear it;
Men think have a cynic mind
And ultra-Prussian spirit!
And yet tried my best to sing
The song that l repeat
Mans laughter is the wholesome
thing ~
That makes this sad world sweet"
O fate that works from sun to sun,
In bright or stormy weather!
Why should the printer man have run
Those first two words together?
He set my lines to hold sting
And made my thoughts cheat
"Manslaughter is the wholesome
thing
That makes this sad world sweet"

THE TWo-cENT STAMP

Good-by, old stamp; it's nasty luck
That ends our friendship so.
When others failed, you ga1nely stuck,
But now you've got to go,
So here's a food of honest tears,
And here's an honest sigh.
Good-by, old friends of many years
Good-by old stamp, good-by.
Your life has been a varied one,
With GURUS phases fraught-
Sometimes a check, sometimes dun,
Your daily coming brought;
Smiles to a waiting lovers face,
Tears to mothers eye,
Or joy or pain to every place
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
You bravely toiled, and better men
Will voucn for what I say;
Although you have been licked. twas
when 50
Your face turned t'other way
Twas often in box you got
Gas you will not deny)
For going through the mails, I wot-
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
All. in your last expiring breath
The tale of years is heard
The sound of voices hushed in death
A mothers dying word,
"A ma1den's answer, soft and sweet.
A wlfe's regretful sigh,
The patter of baby's feet
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
what, wonder, then, that at this time
When you and l must part,
l should aspire to speak in rhyme
me promptings Of my heart? ~
20 bide with all those mem'ries dear
That live when others die:
you've nobly served your purpose
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
