Why Is the United States
at War With Gernanyo

Why did the United States go to
war with Germany?
A pertinent question which seems
as hard to answer as were the causes
which led up to the Civil War in the
sixties.
Ask man why the great Civil War,
and ten chances to one he will reply
that the North went to war to free
the slaves. Such an explanation is
even taught by some teachers in our
public schools, and yet it is far, very
far from the truth.
The Southern states seeded from
the Union for the purpose of forming
an independent Nation composed of
the Southern half of the Union, and
it was to save this dismemberment
that the free states flew to arms at
the call of President Lincoln. Not
one word, pro or con, about slavery.
In fact, thestruggle had gone on for
nearly two years before the slavery
question became factor in the con-
test.
Lincoln's emancipation proclama-
ton was issued as war measure,
wholly in the interest of saving the
Union, not, as many suppose at this
day, as a great humanitarian project
to make all men free and equal be-
fore the law. 1t is even surmised that
had Lincoln issued the proclamation
in the early days Of the war it would
have served to aid rather than retard
the efforts of the South to destroy the
Government.
However much the great Lincoln
wished in his own heart that slavery
should be wiped out in the interest of
humanity, he found it impossible to
enunciate such a policy, fearing that
by so doing the Union itself might be
destroyed. Not until he felt con-
fident that the people would stand
back of him did he come out in favor
of the emancipation of the slaves. AS
distinctive measure this proved a
success; as a strictly humanitarian
procedure it might have failed of its
purpose and endangered the fate Of
the Federal Union.
Now as to this country to-day en-
tering the breach in this great Euro
pean struggle for the avowed pur-
pose of destroying autocracy and ele-
waiting democracy to full power all
over the world, that is secondary
consideration. Had we any such in
tention we would naturally have en-
tered the struggle very much earlier.
Let us suppose, for instance, that
Germany had been careful in her un-
der sea warfare to not interfere with
American ships or American citizens
on the high seas. Let us suppose
that the Lusitania had not been sunk,
nor any other vessels in which Ameri-
cans were interested, is it conceivable
that America would to-day be fac
tor against autocracy?
Is it not plai-.ly evident that this
entrance of America into the waf was
brought about 10y the assaults made
by Germany upon our own citizens,
and that we refl aimed from even rom

To make every drop Of milk useful
to the food supply, the Dairy Division
of the United States Department of
Agriculture will launch an active
campaign to promote the making and
use of cottage cheese. A corps of
chcesemaking specialists will demon
strate the creamery methods of turn
ing their waste skim milk into this
valuable product. Milk producers
will be encouraged to send as much
whole milk as possible to the cream
cries which undertake to manufacture
cottage cheese, and efforts will be
made to induce the public to eat
more Of that attractive and nutritious
food.
To help individual farmers utilize
their skim milk, groups Of specialists
cooperating with State agencies, par
ticularly demonstration workers in
home economics, will give practical
instruction in cottage cheese-making
in the home and on the farm. The
specialists will demonstrate the pro-
cess before groups of farm women
and in connection with regular short
courses, while in certain sections they
will give individual instruction.

heaviest producer. The hens found
to be paying well in August and Sep
TENDER are the hens TO keep for an
other years work. Those two years
Of age, but which are laying now can
safely be kept for another winter.
Hens at Nj. "A. G. two, three and even
four years of age that are producing
as many as Is or 20 eggs in August,
will be kept over for another year.
One hen, Barred Rock, with a re-
cord of 81 eggs in August, is nearing
five years of age. She will be kept
in the college pens. Do not under
stand that we recommend the keep
ing of all old hens, but we do recon-
mend the keeping of such individual
hens as have the comeback" in them
and are vitality strong and in perfect
health.
When selecting pullets, retain only
the ones showing they have put to
good use the food fed to them. Pull
lets should now be of good size. Never
keep small, runty individuals in the
hope that they will come on, for they
only serve to spread trouble in a
flock. Make the flock as uniform in
size as possible.
Do not feed pullets and old hens
alike. To ripen up the pullets give
them a mash of equal parts by weight
of corn meal, bran and middlings, to
which has been added 10 per cent by
weight of high grade meat scrap.
Moisten with sour milk, and feed once
a day in troughs all they will clean
up in twenty minutes. but not more.

HOME CANNED GOODS
WILL NOT BE SEIZED
Government Has No Intention of APP
propriating For Its Use Goods Can
ned By the Housewife

There is no truth to many wide
spread rumors that the government
intends to confscate home canned
goods for its use," stated r. j. Bald
win, extension director for the Michi-
gan Agricultural college.
MANY rumors have been circulat-
ed" said Mr.. Baldwin, "to the effect
that the government has been urging
the canning, drying and preventing
of fruits and vegetables so that they
will be in convenient form for the
government to handle and transport
when it takes them away from the
people.
MANY people seem to have the
opinion that the government intends
to take away from each family all
canned goods except that actually
needed by the family itself.
"No such course has ever been con-
templated by the government. On
the contrary, both the department of
agriculture and the food administra-
ton are strongly urging housewives
to can and preserve, especially. at this
time, all surplus fruits and vegeta-
bles in order that each household may
have cheap and plentiful supply Of
food"

cnstrating against the rape OF Bel
GUM. standing on our dignity as a
neutral power until after Germany
again and again, committed acts of
war against ameiica?
Plailny the 4 les owe the help we
are giving the world democracy to the
fact of Germany's indiscretion III as
sailing our rights upon the high seas.
To an American il seems thas the Teu-
tonic powers made a bad b,urdcr in
forcing the hand of the Yankee re-
pubic. Had they scrupulously avoided
d rupture with this country by adher-
ing To the practices of civilized
country in tiue cf war the battle in
Europe would still be carried on be-
tween Germany and her allies and the
Entente powers. Her chances for vic
tory would be doubly advanced and
the cause of the brutal and blood
stained Hohenzollern would still be
of hopeful nature.
The United States entered this war,
not because she was anxious and de-
termened to see victory perch on the
banners of world democracy, as so
many speakers, magazines and news
papers are proclaiming to-day, but for
the sole purpose of vindicating her
honor from villainous assaults in ut
ter disregard of solemn promises and
in defiance of every principle of right
and Justice. We were forced by
Germany to take up arms in self de-
Tense. Brutal murder of our citizens
wherever the German under sea boats
reached put it out of the question for
America to not take notice in mill
tary way of her villainous assaSsina-
tions. .4--s@.
1t will be remembered that SINH
lar mistake was made by many good
people with regard to the Spanish
war. These people were fond of ex-
plotting the supposed fact that Ameri-
ca went into that war to free Cuba
and to give Spain lesson because of
her tyrannical methods of govern
ing her colonies near our shores.
Had there been no blowing up of
the Main there would have been no
Spanish war. With the Hohenzollern
we had no cause for hostilities until
that remorseless outlaw and hellion
made war upon America. The sink
ing of the Lusitania was ample cause
for declaration of hostilities against
the Hun. When this was followed by
numberless other murders of Ameri-
cas- men, women and children it be-
came a matter of common manhood
for this country to assert itself.
Now that we have entered the con-
test, the outcome must be for the
betterment of all mankind, perhaps
the downfall of monarchies, the up
building of democratic governments
on the soil of old Europe. We trust
hat this may be so, as was the en-
ancipation of the slaves in Civil War
days, which, issued as war measure,
became the humanitarian uplift of a
States of America, Nation of free
dom in fact as well as in name.

Careful Storage of Seed Corn Is
Highly Important

Careful field selecting of seed corn
will be of little advantage over crib
selecting unless the corn is thorough
ly and quickly dried before freezing
weather comes.
In late September or October, the
corn as it comes from the field con-
tains from 80 to 40 per cent of mois-
ture. In order to retain it's vitality
it must be rapidly dried so as to pass
through the winter with a moisture
content of not more than IL to is
per cent.
Immediately after harvest, corn for
seed should be placed where it will
receive free ventilation. No two ears
should be allowed to touch. The ears
may be strung on binder Irvine and
hung from a rafter. or where large
amounts of seed are to be handled
special drying houses are desirable
with numerous windows or panels
which will give free circulation of
air, or a stove to furnish artificial
heat to hasten drying and prevent
freezing.
This fall is the time to select Mich
igan-grown corn for next years crop.
Corn from other states is often not
well adapted to Michigan conditions.
To insure a sufficient supply of good
seed corn to plant Michigan's crop
the coming spring, therefore, the con-
certed action Of all Michigan corn
growers in selecting and storing is
needed.
The important points to bear in
mind are these:
BY field-selecting during October
the highest yielding ears can be saw
ed.
About one corn grower in 100 in
Michigan selects seed corn in the
field before harvesting the main crop.
If every farmer field-selected, a great
increase in corn yield would result.
Seed corn of high vitality can only
be secured by drying rapidly, immedi-
ately after picking and storing, in
ventilated room.
Good seed cannot be secured from
the crib.
Good seed means a good stand
Planting poor seed results in fire.
quently missing hills. It costs as
much to cultivate a poor crop as a
good one.

pected of the more complicated i'm
plements, like mowers, harvesters,
hayloaders, etc. Before the travelling
man criticizes the farmer he should
acquaint himself with the actual
facts. If he does he is not apt to
criticize so severely.
1t certainly would have looked bet
ter had this farmer, at first referred
to, taken that old, worthless hayload-
err out of the field, taken it to pieces,
saved the belts and such irons as
might come handy for future use, us
ed the wood for repairing other tools,
or used it for firewood, and he prob
ably will do this in time-when he
gets time. Then the farmer would
have saved himself from this abuse
by the travelling man, but in dollars
and cents he would have been but
little ahead.
Most farmers, nowadays, take pref
ty good care of their tools as long as
they are worth caring for. l saw a
farmer oil cultivator teeth once when
he put his cultivator away for the
season. that were actually worn out.
They were good-for-nothing and he
could have purchased new ones for
Is and 20 cents each. He should, in
my judgment, have thrown them
away instead Of wasting his time and
good oil to care for them, but he had
got into the habit of doing this and
did not really consider what he was
doing. When the binder is worn so
the man has tinkered with it half the
time, he had better unlock from it
and get new one. The new one
costs money, but the old one will
waste much more.

POULTRY
CONSULTING DEPARTMENT
Form Poultry Clubs

Form Poultry Clubs
The organization of poultry clubs
and pig clubs among boys and girls is
one of the most important features
Of the club movement. They are
found in all sections in many states
Probably most of the members are
among the clubs organized by. the
Federal Department of Agriculture
in cooperation with State agricultural
colleges. On January J., 1917, there
were about 10000 young people in the
poultry clubs in eight states, and 25,-
600 in the pig clubs in fourteen
states. This movement was started
as an outgrowth of the organization
of canning clubs among girls and
corn clubs among boys. 1t was
found impossible, however, to. keep
the boys out of the poultry clubs and
the girls out of the pig clubs. There
fore no discrimination is made as TO
sex.
a The plan Of the government, brief
", is as follows: On application from
the state agricultural college a spec
ialist whose entire time is devoted to
the direction Of the club organization.
AT first this agent selects certain
counties in which to work, and for the
first year or two supervises most OF
