Care of Pasture Cuts Dairy Cost

Care of Pasture Cuts Dairy Cost.
The cost Of feeding the dairy herd in
summer can be greatly reduced by
giving to the pasture proper care and
management, says H. H. Kildee, Min

SO per cent Of the farms the pasture is
the most neglected area, and yet on
this very area it is possible to double
milk production most easily. >'
By keeping the cows off until May
10 or Is, adds Mr.. Kildee, by sowing
a variety Of grass seeds and by liber-
ally applying manure, the Iowa ex-
pertinent station carried from As to 48
cows on a pasture of 1912 acres, in
addition allowing them from 6 to 9
acres Of soiling crops. In spite of the

lowed from two to three acres of pas
ture per head and had nothing but

Frederick L. Hoffman, a German
born American, concludes an able ar
ticle in the New York Post on the
duty Of Americans of German birth
with the following paragraph, every
sentence of which is pregnant with
loyalty and patriotism:
In all the world there is no flag more
inspiring than the Stars and Stripes;
the fairest symbol of unstained honor,
after more than a century Of national
life and international relations. Life
and service under that flag is price,
less privilege and a guarantee of good
faith in peace and war. Loyalty to the
flag is the supreme duty, not only Of
the American republic, but to the
cause of government by the consent
Of the governed and liberty and de-
mocracy throughout the world. Under
this flag, Americans Of German ances-
try and birth, with the countless mil
lions Of other origins, have found a
new freedom, which to conserve and
maintain is enough to have lived for,
and, if need be, to have suffered and
to have died for. Above and beyond
the glory of empire and the achieve
ments of military power lies the higher
duty to the cause of truth and ''the
righteousness that exa1teth nation"

Death Points to Secret Past.

James Love, so years old, Milaca
contractor, who died in St. Paul a few
days ago, left no clue Of his past, and
the St. Paul Dispatch of last Thurs
day evening contained an item to the
effect that far reaching investigation
into his mysterious past" would be
made. Mr.. Love came to Milaca four
years ago, and appeared to be we'll
informed man and a good citizen. He
may have had good and sufficient
reasons that concerned only himself,
for not taking anyone into his con-
fidence, or leaving any clue, as to his
past. At any rate now that he is dead
no investigation seems to be called for.

Minnesota is proud of Senators Mel
son and Kellogg, but it is humiliating
to note that four of the fifty house
members who voted for kaiserism
came from the North Star state. In
this connection the Duluth News-Tri

There was no pride in flag or coun-
try, in human rights or national honor.
There was only maudlin sentimentality
where there was not the baser motive
of political cravenness.

THE NATION AT WAR.

War it is! Although America de-
sired peace, the status Of a belligerent
has been thrust upon us by Prussian
ruthlessness. We are now at war with
Germany.
For some time the United States
has hesitated at the brink of the
precipice, sincerely striving to avoid
becoming involved in the gruesome
war. But the Prussian autocracy by
wanton violation Of the rights of
America and the laws Of humanity
made our participation inevitable.
While we entered the awful strug-
gle with some reluctance our future
security demands that nothing we can
do to bring the war 70 a successful
conclusion be left undone. The Ger
man government must be brought to
terms.
The American people can enter the
lists with head erect. Never before
has nation engaged in war with such
lofty ideals. Our. objects are not
selfish.
The president in his war message
clearly stated Americas purpose when
he said: " j..
We are glad to fight thus for the
ultimate peace of the world and for
the liberation of it's peoples, the Ger
man peoples included; for the rights
of nations great and small and the
privilege of men everywhere to choose
their way Of life and obedience. The
world must be made safe for democ-
racy. Its peace must be planted upon
the trusted foundations of political
liberty.
To such a task we can dedicate our
lives and our fortunes, everything that
we are and everything that we have,
with the pride Of those who know that
the day has come when America is
privileged to spend her blood and her
might for the principle that gave her
birth and happiness and the peace
which she has treasured. God helping
her, she can do no other.
