that most farmers using silage run
out of it in June. There is at that
time no succulent food to take its
place and cows reduced all of sud-
den to dry food do not keep up their
production. By means of pulp, silage
can be made to last longer. In many
cases the pulp is fed in the same
manner as any grain. Quite a num-
ber of dairy men prefer to moisten
it. 1t will absorb about five times
it's weight of water and will swell
up to about three times its original
bulk. In this moist shape it will
undoubtedly furnish the succulence
needed in a good dairy food. A cow
getting nothing but alfalfa, if she
deserves the name of COW, usually
can be made to produce more milk
by giving her some grain or dry
ber of COWS, mainly those kept for
family use, which obtain else besides
alfalfa and often produce not enough
milk to provide the family with
cream and butter. Homemade milk,
cream and butter are probably the
most wholesome and economical food
the farmer argues that he can EN-
ploy his time to greater advantage
than bothering with the COW, not
much can be said except that eXper-
fence all over the United States shows
that farmers handling COWS properly
or feeding animals in combination
with selling cash crops are more
prosperous than those relying on
only cash crops.
The way to start the dairy busi-
mes is to learn to handle the cows
you have. The COW with the finest
pedigree and the largest udder will
| not produce for any length of time,
unless fed and handled properly. Even
COW with little dairy blood, ii
properly selected and fed. can be
ludQC 10 pIOuuCC AVU pOulluo VI Dut-
ter fat the year.
The dry pulp might also be tried
on horses. AS a large number OF
farmers have to buy oats at not less
than $1.25 per 100 pounds, a cheaper
food is of some economical import
ance. The German army horses are
fed dry pulp, and great number ol
work horses on beet farms have beer
fed with it long time. 1t is there
fore no experiment. Horses some
times do not take kindly to the dry
pulp. 1t is better to moisten it d
little. They. like any other animal
when getting food they are not fa'
miliar with, should be gradually ac.
customed to it. Two to AZ pounds

TO INVESTIGATE
LAND BUSINESS

A resolution was introduced in
the state senate the first of the week
by Senator, Haley of Prairie county,
which was. promptly passed, provid
ing for committee of three to IN
vestigate' charges of irregularities IN
the office of the state land board.
The press reports from Helena
state that this action was taken oW-
ing to charges of irregularities lately
preferred against the board, which
probably refers to the suit filed last
week in the Missoula county district
court by Bernard Liebel, Tom McKen-
Ma and others.
The charge in the suits filed are of
such nature as to involve the board
of land commissioners as constituted
during the latter part of 1916, which
includes the governor, secretary OF
state, attorney general and superin-
tcndent of public instruction, in doing
some things which ON the face look
queer, to say the least.
1t is charged that the board OF
land commissioners, at the request OF
Senator Brewer of Missoula county,
revoked rule of long standing
wherein it was provided that state
lands would not be leased until after
such lands had been offered for sale,
and remained unsold, and approved
applications filed by Mrs. Browol
Mrs. w. S. Hollingsworth and Leon
Bishop, all at the request of Senator
Brewer. That at the time of approx
ing these applications there We're
many other prior applications Oh ille
for the same tracts of land to whicl;
leases were afterwards made to the
parties above named, and that the
register of state lands had notified
each of the prior applicants that said
tracts of land were not subject t.
lease, by reason of the fact that the
tracts had not first been offered foi
sale and were not subject to lease.
There should be rigid investiEa
tion of this matter, that the fact
may be known to all, and let tn,
blame fall where it may. The pcopl.
are entitled to know why the state
land board revoked the rule so loli.
in effect at the request of a state
senator and allowed his friends to
lease the land to the exclusion and
damage of many other prior appli.
cants who did not have the backing
of some state senator in their behalf
There should be no whitewashine
allowed in this investigation. If tho
facts are as alleged, then somebody
is guilty of conducting the stat.
land office affairs in a very disgl acc
full manner and the people of The
state are entitled to know the facts
On the contrary. if everything has
been regular, then the register OF
state lands, the state land board unt
Senator Brewer are entitled to eA
oneration and must not be under
suspicion for wrong doing.
All the people ask is that the in
vestigation be on the square, that al
the facts be ascertained, that the
people may know the exact facts.

WASHINGTON ADMITS THE
SITUATION TO BE GRAVE
HEAVIEST MONTH
IN CITYS HISTORY
POSTOFF!CE RECEIPTS FOR JAN
UARY SMASHED ALL PREV
IOUS RECORDS.

Postoffice receipts at Brunswick
for the month of January were the
heaviest in the. history of the local
office, according to announcements
made by Postmaster Leavy yesterday
after figures for the first month had
beer arrived at.
"This increase" said the pOstmas-
ter, in discussing the matter, was
not due to any unusual special mail,
but was simply the daily run OF an
increased and steadily growing bust
ness. AS a matter of fact, the force
in the office has been pushed stead
lily in order to handle all of the bus
mess, and if the increase continues
an enlargement of the force will nee
essarily have to follow
When it is realized that the re-
ceipts for January even surpassed
those of December, when all the
Christmas business was handled, and
which was the heaviest in the history
of the city, it can be raelized that
the announcement that January re-
ceipts were larger by $400 or $500,
it means an enormous increase a;
the local office.
In this connection, however, the
postonfice is not the only place in
Brunswick showing an increase in
business. Every line of business has
taken on new activity, and the first
month of 1917 is considered a mere
forerunner of the increase to be ex-
perienced during 1917.

as saying:
on December IL | explained to the
Reichstag the reasons which led to
our peace offer The reply of our
opponents Clearly and precisely said
that they declined peace negotiations
with ,is andAWant to hear only OF
peace which they dictate BY this the
whole question Of guilt for the con
tinuatlon OF the war is decided. The
guilt falls alone on our opponents
The conditions Of the enemy we can
not discuss They could only be ac-
cepted by totally defeated people.
II therefore means that we must fight.
President Wilson's message to con-
gress shows a sincere wish TO restore
peace to the world Many OF his max.
inns agree with our aims, namely
freedom Of the seas, abolishment Of
the systcm Of balance Of power which
always is bound TO lead to new diff
culties, equal rights of all nations and
an open door But what are the peace
conditions Of the entente? Germanys
defensive force is to be destroyed, we
to lose Algace-Lorraine, and our east
ern provinces, the Danube monarchy
to be dissolved. Bulgaria again to be
created Of her national unity and Tur-
key to be pushed out of Europe and
smashed in Asia The destructive de-
signs of our opponents cannot be ex-
pressed more strongly We have been
