1t is gratifying that the at the national
capital responsible the America is to pursue
in the world in nowise deceived by the peace
talk at home abroad.
Peace now would be an abject surrender to Ger
many surrender of all the high ideals for which
America has worked and fought from the beginning;
cowardly desertion by this nation of her friends
throughout the world Men with of decency
will harbor such thought for an instant.
Germany is prepared for a. long war. That is the
judgment of in the best positions to know Of
actual conditions The Italians have been making
wonderful fight for the capture of Triest but they
have captured yet; the French have been making
a wonderful fight to break through the German lines
in northern France, but they have not yet broken
through the Canadians have been making wonderful
fight for the capture of Lens but Lens is still in the
hands of the Germans; the British have been making
wonderful fight the right wing of Won linden

the North Sea- but this has yet been accomplished
On the east Germany is using Bulgaria, Rumania,
Austria Bohemia, Poland and slice of Russia as
bumpers On the east and south she is using Belgium,
part of France Luxembourg Alsace and Lorraine,
Switzerland and Austria in the same way. Her own
TERRITORY is practically She is fighting the
defensive on the shorter lines and in this
way has tremendous advantages over the allies.
1t is the testimony too, such Gerard, Lord
Northcliffe others that in the matter of food and
finance Germany is still in position to put up long,
hard fight The talk of break between the German
people the kaiserthe establishment of more lib
eral of government,has little or no foundation
1t is the prevailing opinion, too, among men who
are well informed that America must deliver the de-
Gliding blow. The deadlock the western front is
liable continue indefinitely. Russia is not likely to
do better in the next year than she has done
the past three years and it is left to America to
furnish the money munitions food and genius to
end the war And the war cannot end with degree
of credit to America her allies without the

first step in government insurance, and what pro-
nounced the most generous effort the part of
nation to dependents of it's fighting men,
passed by house of congress Thursday night

actly the lines the plan of army insurance

MONEY IN HOG RAISING.


Next to Poultry Swine Are Most Pref
table Of Farm AnimaIsA
The meat supply Of the country can
be, increased more quickly by the hog
rot.te than by any other. The country's
need to augment its supply Is great,
but prevailing high prices alone should
be sufficient inducement to farmers to
raise more hogs. The prospect Of sue
cess never was brighter. The high
prices ruling III all markets show that
the demand for pork Is in excess Of
the supply.
Hogs fit into the modern scheme OF
farming on nearly every farm and are
one Of the most important animals to
raise both for meat and for money
They require less labor. less equipment
and less capital, make greater gains per
hundred pounds Of concentrates fed.
reproduce themselves faster and In
greater numbers and give a quicker
turn over" Of money than any other
animal. except poultry.
The hog has no rival as a consumer
Of byproducts, and but for him numer-
GUS unmarketable materials might be
wasted. Kitchen refuse. not only from
farms, but also from hotels and res
taurants, when cooked before feeding
makes an excellent diet.
The value Of skimmilk as hog feed
Is known on every farm, though not
always fully appreciated. In the neigh
borhood of large dairies pork produc-
tion is very prominent and lucrative
supplement to the dairy industry.
The hog Is also large factor in
cheapening the production Of beef
Hogs following steers have in many
cases increased the profit per steer by
from SO to 50. But hogs should not
be allowed to follow dairy cattle un-
less the cattle are known to be free
of tuberculosis, owing to the disease
danger.

GROW FEED FOR cows.

Roushasss Must Largely Take the
Place Of Concentrates This Year.
Grow an abundance Of feed for the
COW this season, advises A. 8. Neale,
specialist In dairy husbandry. division
Of extension, Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
Already tho price Of concentrates II
"out of sight" Prices viii continue
high unless these concentrates are re-
placed by the cheaper roughages. Ev-
cry farmer should plan to grow plenty
Of alfalfa or clover and silage. II al
falfa or clover cannot be grown in your
section substitute another leguminous
crop, such as cowpeas.
During the next twelve months the
production Of dairy products will be
due largely to the feeding Of roughages
instead Of concentrates, as has former
~ been the case.

rHr AYER M1RAcIE.

Contractor Ley, to whose firm the m ira
Gle OF the Aver camp is primarily due,
takes just pride in the fact that the camp
was ready for the drafted army on schedule
time.
His summary OF the achievement is
highly instructive as to the vsstness of the
work involved. There were 622 buildings
to be ready by Sept. 1. These were duly
completed. There were 124 buildings in
addition, including hospital buildings, re-
frigerating plants, storehouses, bakeries
and miscellaneous buildings; and these
were ready ahead Of schedule.
It took a force Of 1900 men, a weekly
payroll OF about half q million dollars,
and necessitated the embarking OF three
quarters OF million dollars in ready cash i.
In the two months that intervened be-
tween the day when Aver plain was bar
rem wilderness and the day when it bore
on its bosom a complete canton ment, it
was necessary ssto finish on the average
one building every forty minutes"
II was necessary to attend to the unload
ing OF fifty cars of materials daily, and
care for 81, ,0O0, 900 feet of lumber. 1t was
necessary to build q complete water supply
system involving twenty miles Of pipe,
and a complete sewerage system entailing
quite as many miles OF pipe. And all this,
not to mention roads and culverts, was ac-
complished in sixty days.
1t shows what America can do when
work is pushed by the spur OF necessity.

The efficient preparations which had
been made for the reception OF the re-
cruits at Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, last
Wednesday were most appreciated by the
delegation OF about 800 Maine men,
the last to arrive, who did not reach
camp until almost midnight. These men,

everything in readiness for their assim-
ilation into the batteries to which
they are assigned. They also found warm

barrels Of potatoes. all about the size
Of small hens egg, writes New
York farmer in American Agricultur-
LIST. The buyer did not want these, so
sorted out load. and they were
planted In the field with others. The
small potatoes were busheled up at
digging time and the best sorted out
for big seed. These potatoes all were
planted June u. The field Of two
acres yielded 300 bushels to the acre.
I prefer a potato Of natural size. I
cut the potatoes into four pieces. When
whole potatoes are planted they start
earlier than the cut ones.
