Our Conservatism Justified
CBY H. S. H.

~ HE wisdom of our prompt adoption Of compulsory
military service for war has been demonstrated IN
the experiences Of not only Canada but Australia. The
former after having exhausted the possibilities of volun-
tary has TesOrted to CONSUMPTION and VIII call the
year.
Canada voted for CONSUMPTION but Australia rejected it
in October 1916 when referendum taken throughout
the commonwealth The vote for compulsion was os5ooo
and against compuson 1146OOo majority sganst com

There the matter was dropped and voluntary recruiting
continued It has failed to produce the number of

filled Recently the demand for conscrIptlon has again
become strong and October 81 last minister Of defence
PeaTe announced that the commemorative cabinet shortly
would consider Austraas future policy with regard the
military situation He stated that up that time Aus
raa had sent $4,000 soldiers overseas At the end Of
last June there 10000 single men and 10000 married

HOME MIXED FEEDS.

National Crop Improvement Service
When a man undertakes to mix his
own rations. what does he do? He
buys straight feeds. Take cottonseed
meal as common example. There
are a great many different grades of
cottonseed meal and the man who is
looking for a low-priced feed is sure
to get low grade. The demand for
cheap feeding ingredients has caused
the quality to be gradually Whitfield
down. Consequently the farmer
nearly always works with feeds which
are poorer than he believes them to
be. He does not get adequate state
protection because inspectors do not
go to a farmers barn to draw sam
pies, and even if they did, it would be
hard to get complete chain of evil
dence.
A farmer has no facilities for hav-
ing his feed analysed and he doesn't
know what he is working with. The
analyses of mixed feeds costs about
ten cents per ton, and If every farmer
Will read the various bulletins from
the agricultural colleges he will soon
know those brands which can be de-
pended upon. There Is no doubt that
at the present prices of grain any
farmer can save money by selling his
cereal crops and buying mixed feed
Cornmeal, oil meal and cottonseed
meal are all high, but the by-products
of barley and rye are all more reason
able in price.
Corn has become costly largely due
to the demand for pork and beef.
Americans will have those meats at
almost any price. This puts corn on
a meat basis, and the dairy business
will have to fall back on the by-prod-
ucts of grains.

siOn-David N. Osyor, the
Columbus Dispatch states. He was
member Of Company II, Ninth Ohio
cavalry. On the morning of April II,
1865, that command was near Dur
ham Station, N. @. 1t was keeping
close watch on Gen. Joe Wheeler's
cavalry, which was on the opposite
side of an extensive swamp. Part Of
the Union cavalry was ordered to dis
mount and wade across the swamp TO
distract the COnfederates, while the
They used their carbines so vigorously
that the Confederates surmised that
very considerable force was coming at
them, and the road builders got along
fine with their bridge.
Near the other edge Of the swamp
Osyor says Confederate bullet just
clipped his sergeant's chevron and the
skin on his arm. Looking for the
source of the bullet, he spied the long
barrel of a gun and the gray legs of
Confederate soldier in the forks of
tree in front of him, and he fired at
them. He saw the legs withdrawn
and the owner of them crawl slowly
away.
Just then a flag Of truce came In
sight and the Union men were ordered
to cease firing. The occurrence, OsyOr
said, did not impress him at the time,
but that flag Of truce was really the
sign Of the end of the Civil war, for
the general surrender came soon and
the troops were sent home.
A strange part of the story Is that
long after the war Osyor met at Bir-
mingham, Ala, a man named Amos
Thompson, who was lame-said he
had been wounded in the Confederate
service and, comparing notes, they es-
tablished TO the satisfaction of both

agreed that they had fired the very
last shot on each side in the Civil war.

THE BEST DAIRY FEED
Made From Grain From Which the
Human Food Values Have
Been Taken. 4

By Prof. r. ID. Fuller.
tNstionsl Crop Improvement ssrvics.l
The reason why the best dairy
feeds are less expensive than the same
grains on the farm is because The
principal elements of human food are
taken from these grains before they
are ever made into feed. The by
products Of cereal mills. glucose fac
tories, malt houses, etc, constitute
often more than SO per cent of the
total bulk Of mixed dairy feeds of the
better class.
These oats, barley and corn by
products are considered by experts in
animal nutrition as very valuable
feed materials. After these cereals are
ground in the manufacture of alcohol.
for which the use Is growing more i'm
residue is dried in vacuo, and lie then
known as dried grains" If made
from corn, these grains contain on an
average Of about 80 per cent crude
protein and 10 per cent crude fat. If
made from rye, while valuable, they
are of somewhat lower feed value.
The barley residue contains over 20
per cent more crude protein than
wheat bran and twice as much crude
fat. In fact, their food value is
largely increased by the process.
All these products are widely used
by the best dairy feeders and are re-
lied upon very extensively in milk
production. There is no doubt Of the
fact that If the supply of these prod
ucts were radically limited or entirely
exhausted, it would have a serious eff
feet upon the milk production
throughout the country and the
dairymen would have one more bur-
den added to their already overtaxed
strength.
Cottonseed meal is composed prin-
cipally of the kernel, with such por-
ton of the hull as is necessary in the
manufacture of oil. Cottonseed meal,
If choice, must contain at least l per
cent crude protein. 1t is one of the
richest of all feeds in this substance
and carries about per cent crude
fat. On account of its extreme con-
centration ii can be fed only in linn
tied quantities and always in con-
junction with some products to fur
nish bulk This meal is an important
ingredient in many manufactured
feeds

Starchy feeds like corn and oats
often sell as high as protein feeds be-
cause of the demand for them for
horses and other work animals.
Starchy feeds are also good to fatten
steers That is why they are often as
high in price as dairy feeds. which are
strong in protein.
