What Ais Germany
(By Samuel B. Harding Professor of European History.
Indiana University

(By Samuel B. Harding Professor Of European History
Indiana University
I'VE have become nation Of wrath; we think
only of the war. We execute Gods AL
mighty will, and the edicts of his justice we will
fulfill, mbued with holy rage, in vengeance upon
the ungodly God calls us to murderous battles
even if worlds should thereby fall to ruins. !.
We are woven together like the Christening lash
of war; we flame aloft like the lightning; like
gardens of roses our wounds blossom at the gate
of Heaven. We thank Thee, Lord God Thy
wrathful call oblterates our sinful nature; with
Thine iron rod we sn1ite all our enemies in the
face-Poem by Frits Phillippi (B., PIP. 54-55)
"Fichte was right in calling us the people of
the SOUL Un the sense that the depth
of feeling common to us Germans has become
power controlling our activity and permeating our
history, to degree unknown to any other peo-
pie. In this sense we have right to say that
we form the soul of humanity, and that the de-
struction of the German nature would rob world
history of its deepest meaning. Professor T.
Euckon, Die weltgeschichtliche Bedeuting DIES
deutschen Geistes, Q914)
I'm the midst of the world war Germany lies
like peaceful garden of God behind the wall of
her enemies Then the poet heard the giant
strides of the now armor-clad Germany the earth
trembles the nations shrek, the old sinks into
ruin. Formerly German thought was shut up in
her corner but now the world shall have it's coat
out according to German measure, and as far as
our swords flash and German blood flows the cir
Gle of the earth shall come under the tutelage of
German activity."-Poem by Fritz Phillippi, en-
titled "World- Germany"

The Difference

Otto H. Kahn, New York banker and of Ger
man BIRTH who has done mans work trying to
convince hyphenated Americans of their duty IN
this war; recently said the following in New
York:
The spirit of Prussianism and the spirit OF
Americanism cannot live in the same world One
or the other must conquer In the mad PRIDE OF
it's contempt for democracy, Prussianism has
thrown down the gauntlet to us. We have taken
up the challenge, now stand arrayed on the side
of the other freedom-loving nations of the world,
giving our fresh strength and our boundless re-
sources to them who, heroically striving, have
borne the heat and burden of dreadfully long
and exhausting struggle, yet stand unwearied,
erect and resolute.
The enemy is of formidable strength. But,
even if he were far stronger than he is; even if
we did not have the men and the means which are
ours; even if our comrades-in-arms had not DEM
onstrated their superb and indomitable prowess,
still must our cause perva; for there is fighting
with us a force which has ever proved itself
stronger than any other power on earth, and
again and again has triumphed over overwhem-
ing odds. That force, God-inspired, death-defy-
ing and unconquerable, is the soul of man.
Some there are, it is true-the more is the
plty-OI foreign DlTtn, SOlIe even VI <aiLeIlCdH
birth, who misguided, corrupt or traitorous, have
failed to join Fundamentally our cause, or even
are opposing it as far as they dare.
We reject with adherence and deep resent
ment their sentiments and views, and we bid
them beware lest kindly, trustful and forbear-
ing people arise in righteous wrath and snite
with the indignant fist of its mighty power the
wretches who are basely abusing it's tolerance.
There is one searching question which we
ought to ask ourselves daily, we who are not priv
LEGGED to fight in arms for our country and that
is, Are we doing enough?" Daily, when meet
in the streets those fine fellows in khaki in the
pride and hope Of their strong youth, which each
one of them is ready and proud to give for his
country, feel anew surging up from within my
conscience the insistent query, "Am I doing
enough?"

The brood SOW and her litter should
have plenty of exercise, but the pigs
should be protected from cold rains.
Young pigs should be given their
feed in such manner that each indi-
yidual pig gets its share. The simplest
way to accomplish this is to allow the
pigs to eat from properly construct
ed feed trough; one that will keep the
pigs out of the feed and will lessen the
possibility of crowding.
The decrease in the number Of bee;
cattle in the United States, with the
resulting high prices which have pre-
vailed during recent years, has caused
greater interest to be taken in this in
dustry, and many men who have never
raised beef cattle in the past are taxi
ing up this line of work
There are many advantages to be

gained when the stock raisers of one
community raise the same breed. Bet
ter prices may be secured from the
sale of uniform product and suitable
breeding stock can be secured near
home.
In the improvement of beef cattle
care has been taken to develop to the
greatest extent those portions Of the
body from which are secured the high
priced cuts of beef. These points
should be kept in mind when selecting
breeding animals.
AS the type of animal necessary for
the production of large yields of milk
is entirely different from that of the
beef animals, it has been impossible to
produce breed which would combine
these functions and be of superior
merit for both purposes.
