rious question we are called upon to
solve. There can be no question Of our
ability to create and properly equip an
army, and also no question over our
ability to build a navy. These prob
lens require time, but we have reas-
enable certainty of solving them.
Andrew jackson said, 'The agri-
cultural interest of the country is con-
nected with every other and superior
in Importance to them ALL"
The two great weapons in this war
are arms and starvation. The war
against German arms will be won or
lost in France; the war against star
walton will be won or lost in America.
The kaiser cannot whip the French
and English armies while England has
food. But it is still possible that the
German submarine may be able to
keep food enough from reaching Eng
land to starve her into submission.
This would mean, of course, world Ho-
henzollernism-the end of democracy,
the end of ourselves as free country.
With the English feet in his posses
sion the Kaiser would be master of
the world.
If the war lasts beyond this summer
It will be the American farmer who
will win or lose the war. The entire
world is proclaimed to be on the verge
of famine. Now that CONSUMPTION has
been happily achieved, the two most
important needs for the successful
conduct of the war are food produc-
ton and conservation. Waste is a
crime.
In America there are two billion
acres of arabic land Five hundred
million is titled. The titled is yielding
only 40 per cent of its potential ca
pacity. We can win if we will. The
growing of food stuffs is of paramount
Importance. The world must be fed.
The farmer is as important a part in
the success of the war as the army OF
navy.
Plant, plant, plant, is the slogan of
salvation. Too little food to feed the
allies, and the submarines and our
selves means defeat For us to fail
them would be deadly and unpardon-
able.
1t is the clear duty of all to raise
food enough to win this war for de-
mocracy, No such responsibility has
ever rested on any class of. men since
the world began as rests upon the
farmers of America today.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Malaria and Mosquitoes.

There is several cases OF malaria
in town and number of our people
are having chills, and since malaria
can only come from the mosquito,
and the mosquito can only live and
breed in wet, unsanitary places, then
it must be that the condition of the
drains, back yards and unused lots
are not what they should be. The
weeds have grown very rapidly since
the rains began and in some side
yards and alleys they are waist ana
even head high, thus shading the
ground and making conditions OF
moisture and warm steam from the
heat of the sun in which millions Oh
disease germs terminate and are
dissimulated to the unsuspecting per-
sons, Our marshal and other city
officers are doing what they can to
make the surroundings more sanl-
tary. but can't we help them and
protect our families and friends by
cutting the weeds so the sun can
drv the damp ground and sprinkle
lime to kill the germs already de-
veloped.

FEED FOR DAIRY COWS.

The feed question is the most serious

30 per cent Is realized.
The principal requirement OF a sllO
is that 1t be air tight at the bottom and
Sides. Any material that will fulfill
this requirement will keep sllage. The
cheapest and most practical type 70
build is the pit silO in regions where
water would not interfere within the
first twenty-five or thirty feet from the
surface. This type of silo is built on
the same plan as the ordinary cistern.
In many places in this state the walls
of the pit silo can be built by simply
pIastering the walls with. a coating Of
cement.

KEEPING MILK SWEET.

Absolute Cleanliness and Quick Cool
ing Must Be Practiced.
Milk is a food product and must be
cared for as such. Its value as food IS
very largely dependent upon the care
it receives after it is drawn from the
COW, says the Kansas Farmer. The
COW may be depended upon to do her
share In helping out on the worlds
food supply, but the care and preserVa-
ton Of milk are as essential as its pro-
duction. 1t is valuelesS, both to the
producer and the consumer, II 1t sourS
before It can be used.
To make milk safe it is necessary to
prevent disease germs from getting
into it; therefore the cows should be
kept healthful. 1t is also important
that the men who work with the cows
be healthy and that pure water from
a protected well or spring be used
Further precautions are the use OF
clean utensils, keeping the cows clean
and using partly covered pals in milk
ing.
Keeping milk sweet is entirely mat
ter of cleanliness and temperature reg
ulation. Cows free from manure AnC
dirt, especially in the region of the I'D
der and tanks; utensils that are care
fully cleansed, scaIded or dried anC
careful protection of the milk from
