After the War.

What is going to happen after
the war" will discount all the
stories you ever heard of "befo
de wab." No matter which side
wins, this country will by no
means be the same as it was
three years ago. We decline to
attempt a picture of what life will
be like if the Germans win-it's
too frightful.
But we intend to win, and on
this supposition we should begin
right now to lay our minds open
to the reception of facts as they
appear out of the great mass of
new conditions created by the
world-war. We shall speak only
of the agriculturist. Years of
short sighted policies have left
US (as nation) far in the rear
of scientific farming. We are
a great food producing country
only by reason of our unlimited
acreage and rich soil. But mea-
sured by scientific standards we
fall far short. We are also a
nation of prodigals, annually
wasting enough to keep a small
nation like Belgium in food. We
expect the war to change all this,
The call for US to feed our allies
will eventually cause pinch at
our own tables that will teach a
wholesome lesson. The frenzied
efforts now being made to make
our soils produce more will result
in the adoption of new ideas and
the stupid among US will "get
run over" by the wheels of Pro-
gress if we do not now wake up
to our opportunities. What do
you intend to read this winter to
help prepare yourself for the
changes that are coming? After
all these years of use, can you
interpret the printed analysis on
a bag of fertilizer? The old
fashioned way of waiting to learn
from the other fellow will be no
good. Plan at once for a supply
of suitable reading matter.

Tuesdays Election.

The fine weather coupled with
a vigorous fight for the office of
Associate Judge, caused an un-
usually large vote to be polled
for an off-year. About three
out of every four voters in the
county were at the polls and the
total number of votes cast was
less than a hundred fewer than
the vote cast at the Governors
election in 1914.
A glance at the table will give
you the vote of each candidate.

RatiOnS for Farm Animals.

At this season of the year
farm animals are likely to be ne.
elected because farmers make
the mistake of trying to keep
them on pasture as long as pos
sible. At the first sign of loss of
weight, or if the pasture is poor
some feed should be given. Pas
ture will be worth more in the
spring when feed is likely to be
higher and livestock can be main
tanned in better condition and
probably cheaper through the
winter.
No particular action says F. L.
Bentley of the animal husbandry
department of the Pennsylvania
State College, can be proposed
for general use, because of vary
ing conditions, but a few sug-
gestions are offered.
For horses-In general, two
pounds of feed per day per 100
pounds liveweight. For a horse
doing no work, all the hay it will
eat and sufficient grain to keep
it in good condition. For a horse
doing average work, one to one
and one-half pounds grain and
one to one and fourth pounds
hay per day per 100 pounds live
weight. For a colt at weaving,
two quarts oats per day and all
the hay it will eat.
For beef cattle-In general,
two and one-half pounds feed
per 100 pounds liveweight. For
maintenance, all the roughage
they will eat, a portion of which
is clover or alfalfa hay. In the
absence of clover hay, a small
amount of cottonseed meal or
linseed meal, one to one and one
fourth pounds per 1000 pounds
liveweight.
For hogs-In general, three to
five pounds concentrates per 100
pounds liveweight, with larger
rations for younger and smaller
rations for older hogs. For fat
tening, four to five pounds con-
centrates daily per 100 pounds
liveweight.
For sheep-For fattening
lambs on full feed one-pound
concentrates and one and one
half pounds roughage per day.
For pregnant ewes, all the
roughage they will eat up to
within a few weeks of lambing,
then, one, one-half to the pound
concentrates per day.

The most dangerous advocacy of

day. The tendency is to bring all

United States enters the war, it is

America, Japan and China, are also
likely to engage in the mix-up or ma

Soundly reasoning, there is no doubt

WHY We GIVE THANKS

Many articles have been. written on why We Are
at War" Just before Thanksgiving there are often ex-
presstons from many people as to why we give thanks
There have been such expressions this time, and it might
be a profitable exercise to look over the various state
ments. and in this way try to reach some conclusion as
to the spirit in which the Thanksgiving day just closed was
observed. s
There have been many expressions from newspapers
from public officials, from pastors, from business men,
from people in every walk of life. Perhaps the most sig
nifcant thing in connection with the whole subject is the
unanimity with which our people seem to have grasped
a meaning in Thanksgiving of a deeper nature than that
which has been apparent on other occasions.
We believe that it is no distortion of the facts to say
that in spite of the fact that this year we are. called. upon
to make sacrifices entirely unusual in our experience,
there is everywhere a greater manifestation Of the sincere
spirit of real Thanksgiving than there ever has been be.
fore. t tG
Glance over the record and see If this is not. true
Look at what has been published; at the manner in which
not alone those occupying positions from which perhaps
something of the kind is expected as a matter Of course
but those engaged in the prosaic occupations Of ordinary
business have looked beyond the material and have en-
phasized the greater things that lie at the root of human
character. Look over these statements and see il there
is not reason to say that a new note has been struck IN
American national life.

RETAIL COAL DISTRIBUTION

AS q Nault of3the conference OF representatives OF
the fuel administration, in this state with dealers and
consumers, the order limiting ali purchases Of coal for do
mesttc use to half a ton each has been modified so as to
permit the delivery at one time Of bituminous and ignite
Goals in sufficient quantities for a two months supply.
Coke, anthracite and %briquettes are gttn subject to the
half-ton regulation. 3sS N a 5N 81
On the whole. the modificaton, appears to bA wise,
and the fact that it. has been made indicates q desire on
the part of those in charge to place around the distribu-
ton Of fuel only such restrictions a. are nost. likely to
insure to each purchaser a reasonable supply OF fuel. with
cost and Inconvenience reduced to the, minimum.
The need for any regulations whatever arises from
the fact that the coal supply is short. Just what supplies
will be available for the entire winter nobody knows. But
the supply available for immediate sdeclivery is restricted.
winter upon us. some families cannot be- permitted to fill
their bins for the entire season while others. equally anx-
ious to buy, go without.
One new feature may have an Important bearing on
the situation, 50 far as this ~sectfons1s concerned. During
the past summer. urged by their own understanding Of
the conditions, and by the Recommendations Of practically
everyone who was at all familiar with the"snpply and the
needs. very many more people than usual obtained their
winters supply long before cold weather was here. The
result is, even though the supply is small, there are fewer
people to be supplied this winter. becauSe more are al
ready supplied. This is a decided, advantage, and. 1t ought
Ito simplify matters a great deal. ~ .Svhjt ~
In connection with local delivery in small lots. the
question Of delivery charges arises. Complaint has been
made that when the order limiting sales went into effect
the charge made per ton for delivery was advanced One
critic of this practice. in a published article, insisted that
dealers had no right to make such a charge, because the
selling price fixed by, the government, meant the price
delivered to the consumer. II it was intended that the
fixed price Should be the price OF coal delivered, no mat
ter in what manner delivery was made, the price was fix
ed on the wrong basis.
1t takes more horses and more men to deliver a car
of coal in halfton lots than it does to deliver it in ton or
two-ton lots. 1t takes money to hire men and horses. II
the conditions imposed on the dealer are such as to in
crease his cost of delivery he must be permitted to make
such additional charge as is necessary to cover that ex-
cess. 1t seems that the fair way to regulate the matter
would be to fix a price for delivery from the car door or
the door of the storehouse. and then, if necessary, to es-
tabltsh a scale of charges fol, delivery which would meet
the varying conditions.

AND BRITAIN FACING
RATlONINC OF FOOD BY JAN. /

handle the food problem in a scientific
way, determine just how much Of
each food must be transported from
the United States and Canada, and
just how much shipping must be set
aside for its transportation.
The food requirements of both
France and England will be larger
than last year. E%ngland's reserves have
been reduced to al extent that more
than offsets her increase in produc-
ton. France must import two million
tons of cereals alQne, her wheat crop
this year having dropped from ST.
$780, 900 hundredweight before the war
to $4,000 900. Her production Of GER
eals, potatoes and beets dropped from
358, 700, 900 hundredweights IN 1913
to about, 22o.ooo,ooo' this year.
Only by rationing, /. is believed, can
equitable distribution be maintained
through the rest of the war, and the
allies be able scientifically to allot
shipping for food and for the other
absolutely necessaTywar purposes.
