The Globe Democrat believes that
the end of the war is not far of. After
giving the reasons for the faith thar
is in it, it says: 1.-The war was CON
ceiyed in German folly, it has been
waged in the same stupendous folly,
and it is this folly that still persists
But it cannot hold out much longer
The participation of the United States
makes the result certain, and the enc

THIS from the Potoai Journal.

When Mr.. Wilson gets the word
from London, he'll let US know what
his definite war policy is.
This is false and contemptible-im-
possible to a true American, 1t by
inference makes the President a liar
and a traitor to bis country--a servi-
tor of England in the guise OF Pres'-
dent of the United States. Holding
to the belief that Mr.. Wilson and the
cause he represents are unworthy, the
Journal ought to take the Stars and
Stripes from the head OF its column
and substitute the Black Eagle OF
Prussia as the emblem fitting the
papers disloyal utterances. No Amerl
can play $3.50 in this time OF trial
and he who attempts it essays a diff
cult. not to say hazardous, role.

HOW TO DISPOSE OF
SURPLUS OF SOFT CORN

The surplus of soft corn i'm the
country this fall will in all prob
ability require additional feeding
hogs on the farms this winter. II
may be of interest to farmers who
could profitably turn some of this
corn into pork, TO know that Or.
Northrup. state veterinarian of In
diana, is in a position TO furnish
light hogs TO any farmer who has
the feed to feed them TO heavier
weight a 90 pound hog fed to 200
pounds will add materially TO this
years supply of pork. Further.
these hogs will go into a corn field
and husk the corn themselves. thus
saving labor.
Present indications are nat no
farmer need consider such an un-
dertaking is at all speculat g, and
no banker would hesitate loan
the money to finance the dea if the
farmer has the feed.
Again corn cut and we'll shock
ed can be used in rehlling silrs. any
time between now and next pring.
Some st. Joseph county peopl have
already expressed their intent on 10
do this with their soft corn ONE
time toward spring and holl this
silage over for the fall Of 1913 thus
giving them all their 1918 corr crop
for other uses.

CROP PRICES AND
DOLLARS Of VALUE
Commodity Prices Are High,
But Crops Are Higher-the
Dollar Is Cheap.

When is a dollar not a dollar?
Relative values shift so rapidly
these days that a dollar has no def
mite value 1t is merely question
of how much Of the commodity you
want, you can set for the commod-
ity you have to exchange-whethe
that commodity be labor, live stock,
corn or wheat. Every purchase
must be considered on the basis of
relative values rather than dollar
values.
The high quotations for spring
fertilizers have caused many farm
ers TO ask whether it will be pos
sibIe to use fertilizers at a profit
next season. The answer TO this
question may be found by a compar-
ison of the relative purchasing pow
er Of crops before the war and at
the present time.
In 1914 the usual corn fertilizer
cost 81 per ton. Today the same
fertilizer costs around $50 per ton
an increase of so percent. In 1914
corn was worth about so cents per
bushel. taking the country over.
Today il sells at not less than $3.50
per bushel. on the farm-more than
100 percent Increase.
The same calculation could be
made for wheat. potatoes. or almost
any other crop excepting in the
case Of those fertilizers containing
pOtash.)
Each individual farmer has mere
Is TO consider whether fertilizers
paid before the war; if so they will
pay even better now.

At Chicago the first week of De-
cember will be staged not only the
greatest display Of live stock the
world has ever witnessed, but that
display will attain a degree of mag
niture and merit now possible in no
other country in the world.
The management of the Interna-
tional Live Stock exposition has
spared neither energy nor expense to
make this display commensurate
with the task the war has thrown
upon this country in the matter of
meat production
Each season has added to the ia
cilities for exhibitors and visitors.
This year a large sum of money has
been expended in perfecting these
facilities. The buildings and grounds
have been improved in many re-
spects. Entries warrant the asser-
ton that IL will be the greatest ag-
greGatiOn of horses. cattle. hogs and
sheep the world has ever seen.
The public is invited to cooperate.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. L.
In constructing dwelling houses the
additional cost Of making the foun-
dalton rat-proof is slight compared
with the advantages, says a recent
farmers bulletin Of the United States
department of agriculture, House
Rats and Mice" The cellar walls.
says the bulletin. should have con-
crete foOtings, and the walls them
selves should be laid in cement NOR
tar. The cellar floor should be Of
medium rather than lean concrete.
Even old cellars may be made rat
proof at comparatively small ex-
pense. Rat holes may be perman-
emily closed with a mixture of ce-
ment, sand. and broken glass. or
sharp bits Of crockery or stone.
on a foundation like the one de-
scribed above, the walls of a wooden
dwelling also may be made rat
proof. The space between the
sheating and 'ath. TO the height Of
about a foot, should be filled with
concrete. Rats can not then gain
access to the walls. and car enter
the dwelling only through doors or
windows. Screening all basement
and cellar windows with wire net
ting is a most necessary precau-
ton
In both city and country. wooden
floors of sidewalks areas and
porches are commonly laid upon
timbers resting on the ground. I'm
der such floors rats have a safe re-
treat from nearly all enemies. The
conditions can be remedied in
towns by municipal action requir-
ing that these floors he replaced by
others made of cement. Areas or
walks made of brick are often Un-
dermined by rats and may become
as Objectionable as those Of wood.
Wooden floors of porches should al
ways be we'll above the ground.
