CHINESE CRISIS SERIOUS
zone Of Latest American Note To Re-
sented BY England and Japanese
Officials.

Neutrality-suspicious. attitude to-.
ward the United States is a source Of
worriment here.
The mikado's government has spurn-
ed American requests to take joint ac-
ton in trying to compose the Chinese
situation.
She informed this government that
she could not send China note sim
liar to that sent by the United States,
advising that the revolution in China
be quelled and that China stand united
at this time.
According to those disposed to criti-
ciez American handling of the Chinese
situation, Japan and England were ex-
pecting this government to notify
them of Americas proposed action and
have a joint note sent to China by the
three powers. Instead, Secretary Lam
sing sent the American note, notified
England and Japan Of his action and
asked them to send an identic note.

Why She In Hated.

Governor Whitman said at BAN
quet In Albany:
Germany has the whole world
against her because she has attempted
to change, the eternal verfties. The
eternal verities-that you mustn't sink
a hospital ship, that you mustn't muir
der babies, that you mustn't betray
your trusting friends, and so forth and
so on-all these things Germany has
tried to change. But she has tried In
vain.
Germany reminds me of the chap
who used to hold out a dollar or two
from his envelope every pay day.
His wife suspected him, and to make
suspicion sure, she got ready reckon
er to check him up by.
''The next pay day, after consulting
the ready reckoner, she said:
"'Are you sure that's all, Georger
"George turned red.
"'Of course It's ALL he said, con-
fusedly, with a cough.
"'Well, George, / got ready reck-
oner here, and, according to 1t, should

"Let's see your ready reckoner.'
said George.
"He examined the book, then he
tossed it contemptuously aside.
"'That amt no good he said. It's

FEED DAIRY COWS R0UGHAGE
Should Be Given to Limit of Animals
capacity-Soy Bean Hay Is
Classed With Alfalfa.

"Roughage should be fed to the limit
of the dairy cows capacity" says
Prof. G. G. Hayden of the Ohio expert
ment station. Relatively, the rough
ages, like hay and corn and slower, are
much cheaper than grains and hay
is Of unusually good quality. Rough
age, of course, should not be fed exclu-
sively, as such feeding might lead to
compaction and death even,in dry cows
and heifers. Some grain is needed in
every dairy ration"
This dairy specialist also declares:
"Choice alfalfa hay at $50 ton is
cheaper than bran at $50. Our ex-
periments show that soy bean hay is
In the same class as alfalfa, and clo-
yer is third. With corn at 81 BUSH
ell, clover hay should be worth about
$40 ton, or IS more than 1t Is now
quoted"
Timothy hay Is recommended for
milking cows only in small quantities
to replace such grains as corn and
hominy. Leguminous roughages have
proved far superior In numerous ex-
periments to timothy for cows in
milk.

sILo OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Huge Receptacle Means Saving of
From 8 to 10 Cents In Cost of
Producing Butterfat.

Practical dairymen who are silo
users say that the silo on the farm
means saving Of from eight to ten
cents pound in the cost Of producing.
butterfat. Beef feeders say that ensi-
lage saves from 81 to $1.5O per hum
dred pounds in producing beef.
Feeding experiments bear out these
statements. On this basis ensilage un-
der normal conditions is worth 81 a
ton. With an increase Of so per cent
in feed prices it is worth So per ton.
Reports from farmers show an av-
erage cost of $2.75 a ton for corn en-
silage, including all factors incident
to it's production. The inadvisability
of doing without silo seems to be
more important than the question of
whether to build one.

Every Reserve District, With Possible

Washington.-The Liberty loan has

When the books closed at noon Friday
treasury officials estimated that the

900 and might soar to $4,000, 00e, 900.
Every federal reserve district, with
the possible exception Of Atlanta, ex-
ceeded its minimum allotment.
Reports by telephone and telegraph
from every section of the country told
OF an avalanche OF small subscriptions
at the last moment. Scores Of small
investors were standing in line at
hundreds Of banks throughout the
country during the final hour. The
small subscribers apparently had re-.
sponded with an enthusiasm that ex
ceeded the most sanguinary hopes Of
officials.
Swelling the huge total by millions
came the belated subscriptions OF the
banks that held back till the last mo-
ment. The clerical forces of virtually.
every reserve bank were practically
buried under a landslide OF eleventh
hour subscriptions.
Because of this situation the magni-
tude Of the country's response may
not be measured for several days.
Thousands of belated subscriptions. it
Is feared, may not reach the reserve
banks till after the deadline of noon
standard local time, and these must
be included in making up the full to-
tala.
Millions of dollars. it was estimated,
were transferred by telegraph from
national and state banks and trust
companies to federal reserve banks az
the last minute response Of the small
investor.
Four banner districts-New York,
Chicago. Cleveland and Boston-ap-
peared on the face OF returns at noon,
to have subscribed the full 100000
900 offering alone. New York. as was
expected, led all other districts by a
margin Of more than double the next
highest.

PLAN FOR CONVENIENT BARN
No Better Way to Keep Young AMI
mails Than to Provide Pens in
Which They Can Run Loose.

(By c. c. HAYDEN, Ohio Experiment
Station.)
There Is no better way to keep
calves or yearlings than to provide
pens In which they can run loose in
small groups. Managers and stanchions
should be provided along one side of
the pens, In which the calves can be
fastened while eating.
The accompanying sketch shows a
simple yet convenient plan. The d.
mansions are 80 by 40 feet. A space
10 feet wide Is taken across one end
to be used as feed room. The re-
mainder Is divided into four pens, two
on either side, each II by IA feet. A
feed alley feet wide runs through
the manger with six stanchions to a
pen.
The stanchions as shown are two

CAPTURES EVERY OBJECTIVE
Most Successful Drive of British Since
Struggle Started Along the
Messne.

London.-The Messine offensive was
the most successful attack which the
British have yet made, every single
objective that was marked in the pre-
liminary plans having been attained,
said Gen. F. B. Maurice, chief direc-
tor of military operations at the war
office, in his weekly talk with the
representatives of the press.
Comparing this assault with the
Somme battle, Gen. Maurice stated the
British gained on the first day more
than twice the ground captured in the
first four days of the great conflict
along the Somme, while the British
casualties at Messines, using the same
periods for comparison, were only
one-fourth what they were In the
Somme fighting.

Paris.-Paris opened its arms to Gen.
Pershing and his staff and welcomed
them with an outburst of spontaneous
enthusiasm such as only Paris is capa-
BILE Of. No conquering hero returning
home could have hoped for or received
such tremendous reception as greet
ed the American commander as his au-
tomobile sped through hundreds Of
thousands of cheering people.
Paris. and particularly the French
authorities, had planned and hoped for
a great reception. but it Is doubtful
whether even the most optimistic pict-
ured the almost frantic crowds that all
but blocked the progress of the auto
mobiles. Men and women cheered
themselves hoarse and flung masses OF
flowers into the cars. Parisians de-
clare that the only event in their life
time that approximates the reception
in enthusiasm was that accorded King
George OF England in 1914.
When the special train reached the
station Gen. Pershing and Field Mar
shall Joffre were the first to appear.
Behind them came a stream of Amer
lean officers, each with French Off
Ger as his host. The first shout of well
come became a continuous roar that
seemed to shake the station to its foun-
dations.
From hundreds of windows Ameri-
can flags were waved by men, women
and children. French girls, with flags
pinned to their breasts and their arms
filled with flowers, bought from their
scanty savings, fairly fought for a
chance to get near enough to the ma
chimes to hurl their offerings into the
laps and on the shoulders of the as
tonished American officers.
The Americans apparently had not
imagined the heights to which Partisan
enthusiasm could rise. Boys, men and
girls and even some old women. strug-
gled to jump on the running board OF
Gen. Pershing's car to shake hands
with him.
