Declares Electoral Law. Which Az
fects Only Prussia, Must Be Based
on Equal Franchise and Are to Take
Effect After the War.
Berlin, July 14.-Emperor William
has decided the following decree to
the president of the state ministry:
Upon the report Of my state minis
try, made to me In obedience to my de-
cree of April Z Of the current year, |
herewith decide to order the draft OF
the bill dealing with the alteration OF
the electoral law for the house OF
deputies, which Is to be submitted to
the diet OF the monarchy for decision,
is TO be drawn upon the basis of equal
franchise. The bill is TO be submitted
In any case early enough that the
next elections may take place accord
ing to the new franchise. ! charge
you to make all necessary arrange.
ments for this purpose"
NOIu Was fGCtlNtu SGN0ldl ud9H .
that the German emperor had issued
a decree for franchise reforms, but
hitherto the text OF the order, which
affects only Prussia, has not been
available. II bears out advices re-
ceived from Copenhagen to the effect
hat the results OF the German politi.
cal crisis thus far are comparatively
small.
The introduction into the emperor's
decree Of the phrase equal franchise
merely restores a provision. which,
according to Berlin gossip, was con
tanned In the original draft of the EN-
peror's Easter manifesto and was
eliminated at the last moment in con
sequence OF reactionary intrigue.
Ii was also pointed out that the new
imperial announcement does not pre-
scribe immediate institution of the re
forms, inasmuch as the mex elections
may not take place until after the war
and there is not a word OF the intro
duction of pariiamentarism In the EN-.
peror's manifesto.

with the finest surgical tools to do
their work. And the hospital has an
ample supply of wound dressings, pads,
splints, hospital gowns, surgical
shirts-all the thousand and one things
first-class hospital must have.
That Is the service which the Ameri-
can Red Cross has provided for the
American soldier before our country
was at war-before q single American
ship or unit of the American army
was headed for Europe. Thirty-six of
these hospitals-enough to care for the
wounded of an army of a million men
have been made ready to the last
strip of bandage and the last enrolled
stretcher bearer. Several of them are
now in France, helping to care for the
wounded of the allies, and ready to
care for the American soldiers who nre
sure to fall into their hands before
many weeks.
Each Of these base hospitals calls
for the services of % surgeons. 2
dentists, rs Red Cross nurses and $50
privates, including orderlies, ambu-
lance drivers, stretcher bearers and
clerks.
The permanent minimum equipment
of each hospital consists of three car
loads Of beds, mattresses, scientific ap-
paratus, operating room paraphernalia,

The consumable supplies of each hos
pital consists of S5 crates of bandages.
wound pads, splints, fracture pillows,
dressings and hospital supplies Of
every kind to the number Of 40, 4S2, all
made up to army standard, packed,
boxed and labeled so that surgeons and
nurses can put their hands on them
in a moment.
Now-from this 1t might seem that
the Red Cross has done eyery-
thing needful, and that there is moth
Ing more to do for the base hospitals
but to wait until the wounded begin
to stream In, and give them the benefit
Of all this foresight.
Not so. 1t has been established that
the supplies Of bandages and splints
and wound pads and gauze in a base
hospital last through just about four
days Of heavy fighting. Then. unless
there were a great store of supplies
to draw from, the hospital would find
itself with 500 wounded on hand, and
no dressings for their wounds.
Here, again, Is work for the Red
Cross. All over the land, wherever
supplies were made for these 80 base
hospitals, are women trained in max
ing hospital supplies. 1t is for these
women not only to stand ready to fur
nish other supplies, but to train still

DO NOT BUTCHER THE
YOUNG FEMALE STOCK
Poor Practice, In Spite Of the Present
High Priees.

The prices obtainable for cattle ana
hogs at the present time offer a great
temptation to sell. even the female
stock. that Is hard to overcome. And
yet II We give a little thought to the
future. ones better judgment would
certainly suggest the retention of a
sufficient number of the younger fe-
male animals to maintain the supply
and meet the demand for next year
at least, If not for longer.
The writer is led to make this sug-
gestion from information received
that great numbers of cattle and hogs
are being sent out of the state, IRE
spective of sex, due no doubt to the
profitable prices that can at present
be had for them. There is an old
saying that money counts" but how
long is it going to count" II our
stockmen dispose Of their female
foundation and afterwards find out
when too late that they have deprived
themselves of the necessary females
to breed from and are short of stock
to sell another year when prices will
be just as high, il not higher?
If this practice is persisted in 1t is
going to result in a shortage of meat
animals when they may be needed
even more than at the present time.
In other words, It is not going to con-
serve the meat supply nor is It ulti-
mately going to be the most profit
able to our stock owners.
1t may be all right to get rid of q
reasonable number of the old and un-
profitable female stuff, but there
should be a rigid line drawn at the
younger female stock IL we hope to
maintain and increase the supply and
meet the future demands FOR meat
animals which seems not only the
common sense proposition, but a pa
triotic and profitable one.-W. II.

BAGGING GRAPES IS FAVORED
Vineyard, Il viii Prove Successful
In Small Patches.

While 1t is not profitable to bag In a
commercial vineyard, 1t will always
prove successful in q home vineyard.
BY bagging the ripening period can be
held back for two weeks. Besides,
when grapes are thoroughly sprayed
and bags put on Immediately, there is
not so much danger of rotting. Bag
ging keeps birds and bees from injur-
ing the grapes, therefore, more per-
feet punches are produced.
Place the bunch In a strong three
pound paper bag, such as is used in a
grocery store. Fold the corners and pin
securely around the stem just above
the grapes. A small hole about one-half
inch in diameter should be cut in one
corner Of the bag at the bottom to al
low water to run out. The bags are
not costly, but 1t takes some time to
put them on. In the home vineyard it
Is a very paying proposition, as it gives
you longer ripening period and more
perfect punches.

is THE COMMON CUR
WORTHY OF HIS KEEP?

The writer is a lover of the dog.
However. there are dogs and dogs,
and the greatest drawback to success
full sheep husbandry In Louisiana, BY
keeping the majority of our farmers
from raising sheep and wool, Is the
useless and worthless dog. Therefore,
the important question at this time, is.
can we afford to permit the worthless
dog to stand in the way Of our in
creasing the mutton and wool supply
Of our people, which is, and will con-
tinue to be. so urgently needed?
Further, a lot of useless dogs.
around country places especially, are
not only liable to get the sheep-kill
ing habit, but they have to be fed, and
much Of the food they consume Is in
the nature OF human diet which might
be used for that purpose. In fact, It
has been estimated that the dogs Of
this country consume enough food of
this character that would feed an
army Of more than two million men.
Is it right or patriotic at this time,
then, to continue to- feed hundreds.
perhaps thousands, Of worthless dogs
on food that is suitable for human
consumption; and that not only de-
stroy, but prevent the raising of one
OF our most valuable food animals. ir-
respective Of the wool that the sheep
and lambs would be capable of pro-
ducing?
The subject is one of too serious ns-
ture at this time to permit sentiment
in favor of the cur dog, to outweigh
the urgent necessity for an immediate
increase in the peoples foood and
wool supply.-W. H. Dalrymple, De-
partment of Veterinary Science, Louis.

other women to take up the work for
when the Americans begin to fight
there will be no stopping the stream Of
wounded until the war is won. And
the Red Cross cannot afford to let a
single fighting man die for lack of q
bandage or q splint. Is our commu-
nifty doing its part?
In France right now the supply of
gauze and linen is so low that they
are reported to be using old newspa-
pers to stanch bleeding wounds. That
must never happen to an American SOL
dier. And unless the American people
get behind the Red Cross with all their
strength and In all their numbers, and
train themselves to turn out supplies
for their hospitals, 1t may happen.
1t would be the irony Of fate If a
soldier from our own town-perhaps
your own family, or mine-were to get
gangrene in his wound, perhaps lose
an arm or leg or even his life, be-
cause we folks here had failed to fur
nish the dressings for his wound.

This field hospital is usually a tent

a space In the open air sheltered by

little more than an enlarged f1rst-aid
station, with capacity for not more
than 125 wounded, who lie on the
ground on tarpaulins. There are no
beds, and seldom any cots.
From the field hospital the wound
ed are taken, as rapidly as possible, to
the evacuation hospitals, still farther
from the danger zone. Each evacua-
ton hospital cares for the wounded
from three field hospitals. This, too,
is an emergency station, and has no
permanency. 1t is a collection station
for wounded, where the worst cases
may be given q little more attention
than has been possible before
As rapidly as the motor ambulances,
the noSpltal trains, the noSpltal SnlpS,
or other agencies, are able to work.
the wounded are taken from these col
lecting stations to the base hospital,
located at the army base some distance
to the rear.
Here. for the first time, the wound
ed man finds himself in a real hos
pital, in the hands of surgeons and
nurses who have the time to give his
hurts every possible care.
He is put into real bed in q real
hospital. supplied with X-ray, bac-
THEOLOGICAL and pathological labora-
tories, a diet kitchen presided over by
skilled cooks, and with surgeons and
nurses drawn from Americas most
1ishly trained to wait on him. II hs

SAVE FEED BY
USING THE SILO

The silo offers the best means Of
conserving the farm feed supply. II
enables the farmer to save the feed
stuffs for the future use Of his farm
animals in much the same manner
that the canning machine enables the
housewife to save 10 vegetables and
fruits for the future use Of the fam
lily. The present and prospective high
prices and the growing demand for
farm products Of all kinds make It at
once to the profit and the duty Of
farmers to increase in every way the
efficiency Of their operations. To the
dairy farmer, at least, the silo is es-
sential to efficiency. It's ADVANTAGES
are too numerous to fully enumerate
here. Suffice 1t to say that expert.
ments have proved that silage will
greatly reduce the cost of feed for
dairy cows and increase the milk pro-
duction. It is a palatable feed, keeps
the stock in a thrifty condition, and
the young stock growing all winter.
1t Is more conveniently fed than hay
or corn fodder. Silage enables one to
keep a larger number of live stock on
a given area of land than may be
kept on forage crops cut for hay. II
furnishes succulent feed during the
summer when drouths frequently ec-
cur. 1t prevents the waste of corn
cobs. stalks and overripe fodder that
would otherwise not be eaten by the
animals:
