Latest Hun Peace Terms.

Here are the latest German
peace terms as outlined by the
Kreuse Zeitung, one of the lead
ing Junkerist organs:
Il. The British navy must be-
reduced to a maritime police
force.
Y. Gibraltar, Sinadar, Alden
and Malta must be ceded to an
international council.
"3. Guarantee against eco.
nomic boycott against Germany.
"A. Guarantee of supply of
raw materials to Germany under
most favored nations terms.
rs. All German colonies must
be restored" "
In return for all of this. Ger.
many would be prepared, accord
ing to the Kreus Zeitung, to re-
tire from Belgium-provided she
may pocket the Congo state.
The paper describes this for the
whole as quite a modest program,

How Germany Lies to Her People;

The following from the Berlin

were industriously circulated il
Germany that America wouldn'I
send an army to France and that
il they did the Americans would
not fight:
Conditions in England are
such that the grim specter OF
famine is staring her carrion pop
ulation in the face. Their suf-
ferings are such that, despicablt
though these enemy people are,
we could almost find it in oul
heart to pity them. They hav,
practically no meat, and the little

need is so great that they do moi

Don't You Need a Siloa

Genarlly when a man has pass

profitable experience he resolves
never to be caught again. He
should profit against a recurrance
OF a similar situation. Are you
one Of the men who has just
passed through one o. the worst
winters we have ever hcd, who
upon looking up into his e"lpty
hay NOW recounts to his loss the
tons of good hay worth from $40
to $40 per ton that he had to
pitch into the rack to be consum,
ed by a bunch of cattle that
weigh less than they did last fall?
They have eaten at least one
ton per head and have nothing to
show for it. They will be turn
ed out to pasture with an expense
account against them that will
require the season gains to settle.
Or did you have a silo?
You know that you needed it,
whether you had one or not,
The man who had the foresight
last spring to plant a few acres
in a silage crop found that his
feed supply lasted all right thru
the winter. No wonder about
this when it is easy to grow ter
tons of silage per acre on lane
that will produce two tons of hay
Ten acres of silage will yield 10(
tons Of feed: ten acres of hay, q
tons. One hundred tons of 81
lage, supplemented with wha
straw, corn stover or other infe
rior roughage they will eat, will
winter 100 head of cattle. Twen
ty tons Of good hay, under lik,
conditions will winter twent,
head, but they will not com
, through the winter in as goo
condition as those fed on silage
This is common knowledge.
Don't get caught again with
out supply Of silage. Bette
