newest shows the American eagle.
''Gay-colored orgsndie collars are

to marvel at. II comes in all colors, and

seem, il is hsnd-painted. Odd rubber
bathing caps match the ashes. Such
a set gives a last years bathing suit a

A Message from Russia.

ties with every day. There is nothing
like the stress of battle against foreign
foe to unite nation and the stimulus
which Kerensky applied in renewing VIC
toriously the fighting on the Gahcian
front may prove the salvation of the
Russian democracy. The victory at Hal
iez is real, and promises prompt adj
vance on Lemberg the capital of Galieia.
And it is important, for much more than
strategical reasons. 1t animates the
Russian leaders and people with pur
pose that takes their minds off the merry
dance of rival Utopias in cafe and bar
rack room circles in Petrograd. II fixes
their attention upon the primary task of
freeing their part of the democratic
world from German autocratic domino
ton. 1t starts them, apparently, on a
victorious constructive course such as
that which animated the French revolu-
ton in the days when the liberated
French people made the joyful discovery
that they were more than a match for
their foreign enemies, including the king
of Prussia.
That the encouragement in Russia is
real, and not merely the child of our
wishes, is proved by the message which
Elihu Root sends back, after months
studies and activities in Russia and on
the eve of the American commissions re-
turn to the United States. Mr.. Root
finds nothing but encouragement in the
situation. He finds mo organic or incur
able malady in the Russian democracy"
and says that the solid, admirable traits
in the Russian character will pull the |
nation through the present crisis" That |
is the assurance which the American peo-
pie have been awaiting, and have been |
awaiting from Mr. Roots lips, as the most
d'ordre for their active participation in
Russia's upbuilding. The other members
of the commission, joining with Mr.. Root,
send home the further assurance that
Russia will emerge from its internal diff
fculties and be able to redirect its forces
toward the energetic prosecution OF the
war. The word should be enough. Let
is help Russia with money, with expert
in the reconstruction of its
.ailway system, and above all with con-
idence and sympathy.
1t has been suggested in a very inter
sitting article in the New Europe for
Iune 81 that the purposes of America
md Russia being essentially the same in
he war, the two nations should coop
rate heartily in the work of arranging
eace, when that work is due. 1t is in
eed true that America and Russia are
ow alike in demanding no new territory,
nd in desiring the liberation of all OPP
ressed peoples. The union of the ideals
f these two great nations viii indeed
e a potent influence in the determine
ion of the problems of the future. But

sILos SAVE GRAIN.
Can Corn Crop for Caffeine Tin Need
ed-Silage Supplies Succulence in
Dairy Ration.


Less grain can be fed by many dairy
men without reducing milk production,
provided they feed more silage and leg.
ume hay. Less grain will be available
for feeding TO cattle, for much more
than usual is needed now for human
food, and the emergency demands that
every effort be made for its conserva-
ton. Milk production must be main.
tanned = hence, every effort should be
made TO substitute other feeds for grain
in the dairy ration. To do that the silo
will help.
Fruits and green vegetables are canned
so as TO supply succulent and palatabe
foods TO the family during the winter.
Succulence is just as essential to the
cow as TO human being The abundant
milk flow obtained from June pasture,
to large extent, is due to the succu-
lence of the grass Silage provides sue
culent feed during winter, when pasture
is not available. With silage in the ra-
tion, dairy cattle can be kept in the con.
dition of health common to animals on
pasture. The digestive system of a COW
is well suited for the utilization of large
quantities of green grass and other
coarse, succulent materisl Silage is pa
latable and no other feed win combine
so well with dry hay and little grain
to produce maximum economical results.
"Siloing' is an excellent way of pre-
serving the mature corn crop or of saving
one which for any reason must be har-
vested before maturity, About 40 per
cent. of the total food material in the
corn plant is in the stalks and leaves.
When the farmer harvests only the ears,
he loses nearly one-half of the crop; on
the other hand, when the crop is put
INTO the silo the losses are very small.
When drought, frost, or insects attack a
ield of crop before it is ripe, the entire
,rop may be lost unless the farmer has
/ silo ready in which to preserve it.
No feed crops can be so successfully
under widely varying cond-
ions as those that are put into the silo.
)nly in case of drought or frost is it
necessary to rush the filling of the silo;
ain or dew on the forage does not injure
he silage.
