Know the Wars Real Cause

This great atlas gives the first authentic accounts of
events which led up to the war--a summary of its
great battles-sketches of its great men. 1t gives
special maps showing the various theatres of war
in Europe, and the details of the great war are in
condensed form for quick and comprehensive read
ing.
This partial list of contents gives but little idea of
atlas. The double page map of the Western Battle
front and the splendid map of the North Sea are
alone worth more than the price of the entire atlas.

been a policy to keep these things
away from the American public on
the theory that the American public
could not stand the possibilities Of
Encouragement. hold to the oppo-
site opinion; that instead of these
alarming conditions discouraging
America, they will alarm America to
the extent of making her put forth
the necessary effort to better the con-
ditions.
At times I have the suspicion that
there are many hopeful ones back
home who cling too gladly to the rosy
belief that the war is going to be
over soon and that peace favorable
to the allies is going to come in some
mysterious fashion before America is
called upon to lay down her sons like
France and Britain. This is a pleas
ant hope. It is a hope that softens
the pain in every mother and father
heart today when they see their boys
don the uniforms. don't blame them
for hoping and praying that some
thing will stop the slaughter before
their boys are counted in the great
toll. But l cannot help feeling that
this hope, pervading all through our
national fabric, is preventing the ex-
ertion of the necessary fullest effort
and l cannot help thinking this even
in view of the enormous efforts that
America is putting forth.
America Just Starting.
Some idea of the effort necessary
may be gained from the following
comparison:
The American effort has been no
where near what the French effort has
been, nowhere near what the British
effort has been to date. We haven't
begun yet to do what both Of these
nations have done individually, yet
what both of them have collectively
done has not yet been enough to win
up to the present
Judge Lands, your son is a soldier
Of America. The war he is engaged
in is no longer European war; it is
an American war 1t is war for A
merican existence just as much as the
war Of 1776, just as surely as the war
Of 81 and '65, just as much as poor
Begium's struggles at Liege were for
her existence
It's Up To Us
Unless Germany is beaten, unless
America beats her, our national fate
will be as ignominous as Belgium's.
Nothing-absolutely municipalities
cost, rank, life, present welfare, moth
ing should be permitted to interfere
with our effort to save our national
existence.
4 Swiss statesman has been quoted
as saying that Germany has been
fighting the war with liquid fire and
the allies with hot air" If there ever
was any truth to such a charge then
it is time for America to make it spell
lie.
We know we will never win the war
by jabing ourselves with a morphine
needle and then raving about what
an awful wallop we are going to land
IN the boche. This simply isn't NOR
phine war-not the. way Germany is
lighting it-and that is the only way
that can be considered if we have
within our hearts the will to win.

USE YOUR YARDS
TO RAISE chickens
Raise Green Feed For Them On
Ground ThatlIs Usual
...." y Idle 4

WASHINGTON, July l---If there is
a shady spot in the back yard not suit,
cd to other garden crops, il may be
possible to grow some green feed for
the chickens on It, Oats and field
peas, before the hottest weather comes,
and millet and cOwpeas later in the
sumner, IL sown thickly, probably will
yield cuttings of feed that will be much
reished in the small hennery. While
such practise may not be in harmony
with the best cultural advice, many
rity jewellers with limited space will
wish to utilize all available garden
room this season, even for only small
returns. s.. Ht a.s t aF {rn- ~.
Dense, continuous shade under old
trees and shrubbery that have drawn
heavily on soil plant food, obviously
will be of little value for this purpose.
But in many back yards ground shaded
by buildings and small trees, not wholly
removed from the days sun, might
well be expected to produce some green
stuff for small flock. II the chicken
pen is large enough small sowing
made inside and protected by woven
wire with one inch meshes stretched
about two inches above the ground may
ne made. This allows the chickens to
pick off the green blades as they grow
through the netting without injuring
the roots, ,fe 49,
Another way 10 furnish green feed
to hens not on range is by sprouting
oats in trays or boxes. This method
is used by many poultrymen, for large
and small flocks. The oats are soaked
or twelve hours In warm water aud
then spread out in layer " 10 ~
inches deep on a floor, or in a tray or
tier Of fats, which have openings or
holes or a u inch mesh wire bottom
covered with burlap, 30 that the water
drains freely. The oats may be stirred
daily and sprinkled or allowed 10
sprout without stirring until ready for
feeding, They are usually fed when the
sprouts are from to 11h inches long,
although some poultrymen prefer to al.
low the sproats to grow 2 or 3 inches
long before feeding. Oats need q moist
and warm atmosphere in which TO
sprout quickly, SO that il is necessary
to furnish heat or TO keep them in
warm room during the winter, while
they may be sprouted out ofidoors dur,
ing the rest of the year. 1t takes from
6 to 10 days to sprout oats, depending
on the temperature. The oats are fed,
roots, sprouts and all, at the rate of
about one square inch, as they grow

HOGS ARE REAL

Uncle Sam Urges Farmers 70
Turn Attention ToPork y
3. Raising *.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The quick.
est and surest way Of augmenting the
meat supply next to the raising of poul.
try is by raising hogs, the United
States department of agriculture points
out. The hog is the most important
animal to raise for meat and money.
He requires less labor, less equipment.
less capital, makes greater gains per
hundred pounds of concentrates and
reProduces himself faster and in greet.
er numbers than any other domestic
animal. As consumer Of by-products
the hog has no rival. No other animal
equals the lard hog in its fat,storing
tendency. The most satisfactory meat
for shipping long distances on train,
boat or wagon, and for long storage
after reaching its destination is mess
pork. There is no animal which pro
duces more meat and meat products
than the hog. axe. ,l.rs q. ..r.
Pork finds ready sale because pack rs
have discovered many ways of placing
pork on the market in attractive and
highly palatable form combined with
most excellent keeping qualities, There
is no other meat from which. 80 many
products are manufactured. Very near
fifty per cent Of the total value, in dol.
lars and cents, of the meat and maat
products slaughtered In the packing
houses OF the United States is derived
from the hog. Our country leads BY
far all countries in the production as
well as in the consumption Of meat and
meat products. Three fourths of the
world 8 international trade In pork and
pork products originates in the United
States in normal times, and the war
greatly has increased this proportion.
According to the estimates there was
an increase of $3.50, 900 hogs between
1910, the census year, and 1916, inclu,
sive. The increase at the end of 1918
was 3,l4S,OOO over the preceding year,
while it is estimated that there was
decrease at the end Of 1915 of $4,000
hogs compared with 1916. %l..@f .
If we expect to continue to provide
meat to foreign peoples as well as our
own people, every farmer must put
forth the best effort 10 produce more
hogs. Hogs can be kept proftably up.
on many farms where they are not
found today. Farmers who already
raise hogs can produce many more for
