Shortage Is Noted in Various
Parts of Country.
Decreased Enrolment in Normal
Schools and designations May
Bring Crisis.

New York.-The United States Is
facing famine of public school teach
ers. The schools in various parts of
the country are already suffering
from shortage of teachers. Men and
women in noticeable numbers, reports
from different sections say, are re-
signing their positions In the schools
to take up other kinds of work. But
The worst of the situation. as 1t is ex-
planned by DIR. William ii. Allen, who
has been leading student of school
problems for many years, is the GER
tainty of a greatly increased shortage
in the future, as evidenced by the fall
ing off in enrollments in teachers
training schools.

FEEDING SILAGE TO STOCK
as Roughage for Finished
Stock for Market.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
As roughage for finished stock
there is no better or more economical
feed than silage for it produces large
daily gains and aids in keeping the
animals in healthy condition so that
they can handle other feeds more eff
fectively. An advantage in feeding
gilage to beef cattle that is often over
looked, is that it enables the feeder
TO carry his stock for long time so
as to pass over period of depression
I'm the market.
SiIage also can be profitably used to
supplement pastures for steers during
a time of drought, when they are be-
ing finished for market.
For many years the belief was gen.
eraI that cattle which received silage
as a major portion of the roughage
would have to be kept in warm barns
and not exposed to the cold. While
they do need protection from the cold
winds and rains and need dry place
10 IC dOWi, IL DcSu Citdlly
strated that warm barns are not only
unnecessary, but that fattened cattle
make both larger and cheaper gains
when fed in the open sheds than when
confined in barns. Stocker or thin cat
tie receiving silage will, of course,
need more protection than animals
which are being fattened.
The theory that silage-fed cattle
shrink very heavily in shipping to mar
ket is erroneous. While the actual
shrinkage during transit is sometimes
greater, the fill taken at market is
usually good, and If good judgment
Is used in preparing them for shipping
the net shrinkage is no greater than
for cattle which have been fed on dry
feeds. For sc hours previous to ship
ping nice bright hay and slower should
be substituted for the silage in the
ration.
The general impression that choice
or prime carcasses cannot be made by
the use of succulent feed is equally
untrue, as the silage-fed cattle usually
make more desirable carcasses than
cattle fed a similar ration, except that
silage was replaced by one of the
coarse folders. There is no appreciable

NEED NOT FEAR WOOD FAMINE
Government Figures Convey Assur-
ance to Those Who Contemplate
Usirq That Material for Building.

Wood has been and is still one OF the
chief materials used In the construc-
ton and furnishing Of the home. IL
has had natural advantages because
of the ease with which 1t can be work
ed and fastened, because 1t mas
strength and hardness for general pur'
poses, because 1t is comparatively
light in weight, because 1t Is good
protection against heat and cold, ana
because it Is pleasing In appearance.
These properties, which are due to It's
peculiar chemical nature and physical
structure, have made wood unique
among building materials.
An impression seems to be preva-
lent that the supply of wood Is becom-
ing so depleted that In the near future
1t can be used for ornamental or
special purposes. says a report issued
by the bureau of standards. This Is
declared to be erroneous. We still
have enough virgin timber, II Is de-
clared, In this country to last for sew
eral generations. and with the growing
practice of forestry a certain supply
will always be maintained, partly by
increasing the yield of timber per acre
and partly by checking the waste In
using the timber.
Although the centers Of production
are being removed farther and farther
from the centers of population. freigh
rates do not make the shipment OF
lumber across several states prohibit
tive, wood being comparatively light
material.

counter measures to protect the work

"The most INSCRIPTIONS methods
were used to persuade the workers TO
take part in the strike. Rumors were
put out to the effect that the strike
was for the purpose of putting an end
to the control of food exercised by the
authorities, also that it was to exert
pressure on the employers to grant de-
mands which had been put forward
by the Metal Workers union. 1t was
also declared that not only in Ger

London, Paris and Petrograd. work
was to come to a standstill in order to
bring about peace.
THE number of persons out on
strike in Brunswick the first day was
5000, which was increased the next
two days by female workers from the
jam and spinning factories.
"On the breaking out of the strike
the minister of the interior summoned
the heads of the workman's commit
tees. They presented a series of de-
mands, including fair distribution of
food, the eight-hour day, grant of right

working people would suffer heavily If,
against wiser counsels, they persisted
in the strike. The strikers voted to
continue the strike.
