Two-year-olds. weighing from 700
to 1000 pounds, in fair to good
condition, will cost from $50 to $50.
Cows not over six years old, weigh
ing from 700 to about 1000 pounds,
in fair to good condition, will cost
from $50 to 500. The freight cost
will be about $40 per head in car

There Is no other expense in con-

will have a number Of men in the
Texas field to inspect and select
cattle to iii any orders that may
be sent in. These cattle will come
from tick-free areas. or will be
dipped under government supervis.

parable soldiers Of France. the
Huns would have taken Paris,
swept on across France to the
ocean on two sides and most
likely would have won her first

calculations of the Kaiser that Eng

England kept no great amy.
Germany is convicted by the
very fact that she and Austria un-
der dictation, over and over again
rejected all proposals for confer
ences on the eve Of the present
; no. nv those conferences Ger
many would have stood eypusru

How this country was forced
into the conflict is known to all
men who read except those pro-
German Americans who favored the
Kaiser and his submarine policy
before our declaration Of state Of
war with that country and who
even yet have gloomy forebodings
as to the final outcome because
they are so deeply impressed by
German efficiency" in all ways,
German invincibleness on all the
battle fronts and the slim hope Of
order being brought out of the cha
otto condition reported in Russia.
These 'Germaneacs" will continue
to chew the rag, even though some
Of them are lodged behind steel
bars, to criticize the president while
claiming to be loyal American citi-
zens, and to throw all the cold
water they can on raising an army
to send to Europe, but the genuine,
red-blooded believer in what real
Republicanism, Democracy and hui
mainly stand for, have no doubt
that in the end Germany will be
humbled and made to foot the bill
for all its deviltry. that Austria
will meet the fate it deserves as a

speakable Turk driven clear out
of Europe.

beef heifers and cows from out Of

If they cannot be saved for breed

beef prices; yet for beef production
purposes they are quite as valuable
as purebreds. They have been
graded up for the past fifteen years
with registered Hereford and Short

No Sympathy For
Non-P atriots.

Willie ]. Bryan did not want this
country to 90 into the war: but
since it did so he is in favor of
standing with our allies to the end.
Read what the great commoner
says about 1t:
Before our nationenters a war it
is perfectly proper to discuss the
wisdom Of going to war, but the
discussion Is closed when congress
acts. After that no one should
be permitted to cloak attacks upon
this government or aid the enemy
under the claim that he is exercis.
Ing. freedom of speech.
No sympathy, therefore, will be
wasted upon those who have been
arrested for unpatriotic utterances.
They abuse free speech. and this
applies to attacks upon the allies as
we'll as to attacks upon the United
States. We can no more allow our
allies to be crushed than we can
afford to be crushed ourselves. The
defeat Of our allies would throw the
whole burden Of war upon us, We
must stand together and fight it
through. There are only two sides
Ito a war. Every American must
be on the side Of the United States. 7

SPRAY OUTFIT Is ESSENTIAL
Many Places on Farm Where 1t Is
Needed-vaIuabIe in Orchard,
Garden and Henhouse.

No farm should be without n good
spraying outfit. There are so many
places where 1t is valuable The or
chard, the garden and the henhouse
all need Ii. The little bucket spray.
ers are just an aggravation for any
use where pressure and speed are
needed, though they are fully as use
full as one could expect them to be.
For spraying one or two trees, or for
the henhOuse, they will do very well,
but in large field of potatoes, large
orchard of large trees, or where force
enough is needed to throw the spray
into dense foliage, they cannot be eX-
pected to do the work as we'll as n

ton of the barrel pump handle adds to
the power exerted, and the larger CYL

greater pressure can be maintained

and is attached to the rim of the bar

SEE FAILURE IN THE HOME
Growing Laxity in Discipline There
Declared a Crime Cause by
Prison Directors.

Growing laXity in mental and moral
training and discipline in the home Is
responsible in large measure for the
unprecedented growth of population at
CALIFORNIA; prison and reformatories
during the last two years, the Sacra-
mento Bee observes. This is charged
by the state board of prison directors
in the biennial report filed with Gov
ernor Johnson.
There appears to be an increasing
disposition among parents to place
pleasure above duty and to place much
of the responsibility of parenthood on
the state, condition that should not
be tolerated the report says.
The responsibility Of the home is
taken up In the report.

clared "If the moral training of chill

BALANCED RATION FOR HENS
In Experiment Conducted by Ohio Sta
tioa Fowls Gained in Weight and
Produced More Eggs.

Feeders of horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs have claimed for years that these
animals must be fed balanced
ration. Special attention has been
given to balanced rations for dairy
COWS. BY this Is meant that one feed
constituent should not be fed In ex-
cess, while another is lacking for the
upkeep of the animals body. The pro-
tein must be in q certain proportion
TO the sugars, starches and fat in the
feed. Now the hen comes in for her
share in this scientific feeding.
Ten times as many eggs were pro-
duced by hens fed a well-balanced
ration as by those given only corn

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CROPS
Problems in Marketing PerishabIe
Products Begin With Produe-
tion-lmportant Factors.

The problems In the marketing OF
the vast amount of perishable food
products begin, as do most marketing
problems, with production. The vari-
ETY. of the fruit or vegetable grown
and the amount Of this variety avail
able, often are important factors In
shaping market demand and prices.
The quality of the product, as influ-
enced by choice of soils, fertilizers
and cultural methods. Is another I'M
portant consideration affecting mar
keting success.
Since the growing of perlshable
fruits and vegetables Is on rela-
lively small-scale basis, while the
large aggregate demands of the great
market centers have brought about
the existence OF dealers who handle
such produce only In large lots, the
questions OF production which later
influence marketing can be dealt with
satisfactorily in most cases only on a
community basis. This fact and the
recognition that many other problems
could be met satisfactorily only by CO.
operating groups of producers, has
led to the organization of cooperative
marketing associations In many sec
tons devoted more or less extensively
TO the production of such perishabie
crops.
