For Peace
By e. X. HITCHCOCK

1t is not generally known that there is
an Emergency Peace Federation in the
United States and that it has since March
10, had within its organization an unof-
ficia commission which has sought by all
means in its power TO avert war
Attic the notice was short David Starr
Jordan responded at once and came from
California to act as its chairman.
1t believes that the great contribution
that this country can make to civilization
during the present war Is the champion
ship Of neutral rights, and an interna-
tional organization to guarantee fu-
ture peace-a policy in accordance with
the best American ideals and the prime
achievements of American diplomacy, in
GLIDING those of the administrations Of
Washington, Adams, Lincoln, Cleveland
and Wilson.
II believes that the true patriots Of
America have on their hands the biggest
fight that has ever been waged against
miitarism and high finance.
The Emergency Peace Federation ap-
peals to the west and middle west which
proved last November that the country
could decide its policies without the vote
and help of Wall street interests.
The following letter has been drawn MP
by the commission and forwarded to the
President:
Ito the President:
I'VE earnestly press upon you that
when congress convenes you lead and
clarity public opinion, now not only con-
fused but Intentionally misled and in con-
flicting directions.
I'VE urge that you analyze the interna-
tiOnal situation for the benefit both Of
congress and of the public at large, ex-
pressing the desire to keep alive interna-
tional law and to make effective protest
against ruthlessness and lawIessness.
I'VE beg you to set forth the signin-
canoe of the conflicting policies publicly
urged upon congress, that in making de-
cision it may clear its purposes to itself
and to the public.
For instance, if war should come,
what of the following questions
Should the United States form an al
lance, informal or formal. with the En-
tente Allies? Or enter the war without
any understanding with them, or how
should il proceed?
Should this country enter the war 10
establish the right of neutrals TO defend
| by force of arms their commerce with
belligerents?
Should this country enter the war for
the purpose of underwriting foreign
bonds, as is now urged by officers of the
Federal Reserve bank?
What, precisely and clearly, is the
purpose of the war if it comes? And on
what terms would we consent at any
time to settlement?
1--WE recall that last summer, when mil
lions of your fellow citizens could see no
outcome of the Mexican crisis except war
with Mexico-on the innocent and the
guilty ahke-you announced that that
was the long way and the wrong way
TO settle international issues, making
mere might the basis of settlements,
arousing hatreds and leading the citizens
of the nation against which war is de-
clared to feel it an imperative. patriotic
duty to defend their fatherland.
We believe that the same principles
hold good in the present crisis, and we
look to you in earnest hope for their real
ization.

signed by all the school children of De-

aside the greatest feminine asset the
world possesses, the maternal instinct,
without which all would be chaos, thru
this new sensationalism.
No one is surprised in the persons or
groups of persons who are fostering this
spirit in the first place but that educa-
tors should lend themselves to it and that
women should forget their fundamental
nature and become party to this fool

RAPE FOR PASTURE.
Furnishes an Excellent Forage For
Cattle, Sheep and Hogs.

AS q pasture crop for sheep, hogs
and cattle rape is of considerable val
ue 1t Is greatly relished and produces
rapid gains both in growing and fat
tening stock, writes a correspondent of
the Iowa Homestead. The crop may
be pastured at various stages of its
development When eaten down before
it has made a maximum growth il will
grow up again with more or less vigor
But in any event it is best not TO be-
gin pasturing until it has made
growth Of several inches. Whether
more food is obtained by this method
than by allowing the rape TO attain its
full growth before turning stock on to
1t Is not easy TO say. AS a rule, how
ever, the latter plan is the most prof
liable to follow when sheep Craze upon
it, as it is quite possible for sheep TO
eat ii down SO low as TO injure its ca
pacity for further growth.
When cattle are pastured on rape
they waste more by trampling than do
sheep or hogs. Usually dairy cows
ought not to be pastured on rape, as
ii has a tendency TO faint the milk,
but it may be cut and fed TO them
after each period of milking. On the
whole. sheep do better on rape than
do either hogs or cattle. Neither sheep
nor cattle should be turned on rape
when they are very hungry or when
The crop is wet with dew or rain, as
they may eat more OF it than they
should, become bloated and die in
short time if not looked after.
Animals that have not been accus-
toned TO rape pasture may not take to
it at first, but they soon learn to like
it, and once they acquire taste for it
they will thrive on it and never tire
of it. 1t is beneficial when the ami
mails are pasturing on rape TO give
them access to a grass pasture The
grass and rape will keep them in first
class condition. Oats fed once a day
to sheep at the rate of one-half pound
per head will have the same effect as
the grass and help to put on fat, but
ii is not necessary to feed grain 10
most stock pasturing on rape, for
good growth Of rape usually proves
sufficient TO fatten them.
While pasturing on rape stock should
have free access TO salt and also plen-
ty Of fresh water.

DAIRYING

FEWER DAIRY COWS.
Slaughter of Veal Calves Has Depleted
Number of Cattle.

Slaughter OF Veal Calves Has Depleted
Number of Cattle.
Anybody can see through hole in
the wall. 1t ought not TO be neces-
sary TO bring any argument TO prove
that when we sell calf for veal that
puts an end to all hope of its ever
growing into COW, writes Il. l.. Vim
cent In the Iowa Homestead. The calf
that Is made into meat is dead calf.
No cow from that source. On the other
hand a calf saved and raised will In
due time become member Of the dairy
herd.
What is the effect of this wholesale
killing of calves for veal in this coun-
try? A single sentence will answer
that question in great part. Soaring
prices for boots and shoes, harnesses,
chairs with leather bottoms, seats for
automobiles, belts Of leather-in fact,
for everything into which the construc-
ton of leather enters. Milk is every
day climbing up in price TO the consum-
er, butter and cheese are following
meats of all kinds are practically pro-
hibitive, and, finally, people are suf-
fering more than we know from lack
Of wholesome dairy products, and all
because of the disposition TO slaughter
the calves and sell the good cows.
In the United States there are 6,O0O,-
900 fewer cows now than we had fif-
teen years ago, and the dearth is all
the time increasing. What is going to
be the outcome OF all this? More suf-
fering, more poor health on the part of
old folks and little children and, final
ly, less money for dairy farmers, for
we are running our own source Of rev.
enue.
Only one sort of calf ever should
be slaughtered as long as the present
stringency lasts, and that is the calf
that has no promise in him when he
comes to the age of maturity. Even
bull calves should be saved until the
country's need Of good sires has been
supplied. Inferior bull calves might
be disposed of. but the choice ones
ought to be kept There is good mon
ey in growing really desirable male
calves for dairy purposes. BY adver-
Using little it is always possible TO
sell any surplus stock we may have.

of animal husbandry in the Kansas
State Agricultural college Care should

a few bushels of grain. Hard work is
one OF the leading causes of abortion

besides. and a well bred draft colt will
sell for 500 at weaving time.

what was the largest amount of money

This he declined TO answer, but said
that he would tell the largest sum that
he failed to make. With De Witt Gin
ton and Gouverneur Morris, he said he
had planned to buy Louisiana from
France and to sell il TO the United
States government, retaining the pub
lie domain and charging 2la per cent
commission. They changed their minds
