TO IDENTIFY DAIRY CATTLE
Difficult to Distinguish Certain Heifers
From Certain Cows Few Years
After Birth.

Every farmer who keeps dairy cat
tie should adopt some scheme for iden-
tifying his stock. 1t is easy to remem-
Der the cows in herd by their names,
but 1t Is quite another thing to be able
10 distinguish certain heifers from GER
tain cows, two or three years after
birth. IL one is in daily association
with his stock, he might be able to
remember that one calf is from this
COW, another from that COW, and SO on,
but If the calves are put away on pas
ture, the chances are that at the end
of year their ancestry will be for
gotten.
With breeders of purebreds, II is
strictly essential to be able to trace
the ancestry. Registration rules spe-
city this, and when heifer or bull calf
is registered, its markings must be not
ed on card provided for the purpose.

ton Of keeper-EconomIcaI
Grains for Helfers.

To have gentle cows there is moth
ing like raising them yourself. The
cow seems to partake Of the DISPOSE
ton of her keeper. No dairyman can
afford to have a man In his stable who
Is rough and quick tempered.
Many well-bred cows are ruined be-
cause they were not properly fed and
developed into cowhood. Ground oat-
meal and wheat bran with the addition
Of small amount of flaxseed meal are
the most economical grains for the calf
and heifer. These grains, fed in con-
nection with mixed hay, bright corn
fodder and wheat straw, will develop
bone and muscle and build up a sound,
vigorous constitution with capacity
to eat and digest large quantity of
food. 1t Is common saying 'that u
cow that Is big eater is also big
mixer" And this Is true.
A heifer should be well fed before
calving and given daily exercise.
Calves and heifers should not be tied
up In a warm stable with the cows,
they thrive best In an open shed with
a sheltered yard for exercise.

VALUE OF PREP0TENT BULLS
High-Class Animal Stands Little
Chance of Transmitting Inferior
Qualities of Ancestor.

The bull Is half the herd. If he Is
prepotent, as all good bulls are, he is
much more than half the herd. The
purebred bull, all OF whose ancestors
for several generations were first-class
individuals, stands very little chance
Of transmitting the qualities OF some
inferior remote ancestor. In the dairy
record center at Farmers Union, On
tario, there were IA herds of grade
cattle. Seven of these herds, compris-
.'Ng 81 cows, had always used grade

but the price obtained was douh
Of 1916, which In turn was
double that of the year before.
AS was the case in 1915 and fSl
many farmers were able to pay for
their land outright with the proceeds
Of their first years crop. Further evi-
dence of the prosperity of Western
Canada is shown by the fact that one
In every twenty of the population Is
now the owner Of an automobile. II
the farming community alone Is taken,
1t will be found that the prOport1sn Of
automobile owners Is still greater. The
bank clearings Of the leading elites Of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the eonre-
spending periods Of 1916, and then tAey
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg $5OO.0OO0OO more was
cleared in the IL months ending No
vember 30 than In the same months
year ago.
The entry Of the United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Cana4a. We
are now working together for the
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting greater production OF
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers wonderful opportu-
nifty. Not only can larger quantities
Of staple foodstuffs be produced, bat
the cost of production Is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
is more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price of farm pred
ucts has doubled during the past three
years, there are millions of acres Of
arabic land In Western Canada which
can still be bought at low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
in 1918. 1t is larger than in 1917, and
will probably surpass the record area
put into crop in the year 1915, VIXEN
the largest crop ever known In the
West was harvested. The year 1918
should also see further increase in
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing c0Hsid-
cradle sums in cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes Of Western farmers to
the possibilities Of sheep, and such was
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that 1t was impossible to meet it
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production Is expected to yield an
increase of between % and 90 per cent
i'm 1913.
Those who are contemplating coming
to Western Canada cannot Go Better
than come early in the spring when
they can put in a crop and harvest it
In the fall. In this way they will be
able to achieve something that viii

Germany Is understood. 1t Is the
primer lesson In an analysis of Ger
many's policies.
The state department knows well
enough that Germany has tried unsuc-
cessfully endless moves to make peace
decoy-to create morbid appetite
among the peoples who have been try
ing to make democracy safe-an appe-
tite for rest, for an end of deprivation,
loss, suffering. for relief from stress,
for temporary comfort bought at the
price Of principle-the principle Of fin-
ishing the job.
The secret service Of the allied
countries know well enough that mil
lions of German money has been spent
to make Americans talk and think not
of the Job to be finished but of peace.
Some day there will be exposed, in
all its extent, the Systematic, elaborate
methods which Germany has used in
an endeavor to poison the opinion Of
neutral countries and plant among the
weaker and more gullifle citizens Of
those countries fighting to rid the
world forever of war and the tyranny
of milltarlsm the weed of premature
peace. 1t has been Germany's purpose
to choke the crop Of courage and steal
the nourishment away from deter
mination.
Trail Is Found Everywhere.
The trail of this well-Organized at
tempt can be found everywhere.
In Russia, back in the days of the
car, Industrial leaders of Petrograd
and Moscow who came In contact with
workmen, bureaucrats In the offices OF
government, and officers at the staff
headquarters Of the Russian army at
Mohileff, who came In contact with
soldiers recruited from various parts
Of the empire, told me that one of the
well-defined purposes and special eff
forts of German agents was to stimu-
late among the industrial and laboring
classes In Russia thoughts Of peace, of
the comforts, the relief, and the hope
OF peace, all of which would serve to
eat like rot into the hearts Of the
people, tOlling them away from the
will to fight and the Will to make a
final peace upon sound principle only,
and only when the job had been fin
ished.
Men will not fight hard when there
is peace talk behind the trenches"
General Alexieff said. And he ex-
pressed also almost the identical idea
expressed to me by the retired Brit
ish petty officer who took me to Scot
land Yard, when the latter said, IF
you see two men fighting, would you
bet on the one who was wondering
when II would be over?"
Should Learn From Experience.
The experience of other countries
and our own experience with the desire
Of Germany that her enemies shall
think, talk, and wonder about the COM
ing of peace, ought to be enough for
us.
Any contribution made by any Amer
lean citizen to aid this purpose Of Ger
many Is an act which compares with
soldier ut the front who turns his
face to the rear.
Such a contribution may be actually
traitorous. There are still constant in
stances of treason among those per-
sons who stimulate peace talk with full
knowledge that they are aiding and
betting the'enemy.

came back from China and Japan
a few months ago. A reporter on the
pier In San Francisco said, "What do
they think In the far East about when
the war will end?"
That was the first expression about
the war heard by IN American return

to know what Americans at home had

heard this query with sickened
spirit. The reporter would never have
asked the question unless in behalf of
the readers of his paper. Could this
represent the spirit Of the people
the spirit Of America?
l had heard the same question In
England back In the days when the
Zeppelins had just begun to come over
London with the slogan "Women and
children first"
over there" however, they learned
long ago of the folly Of living daily life
with the sound OF this question In their
ears. They have learned that insid-
iously, quietly, imperceptibly, the per-
siStent tap, zap, tap of this little Ques-
ton weakens the cause, turns the edge

and beats upon that which should be
the unbreakable will of people who
must win.
More Dangerous Here.
For America, this question haunting
the minds of its citizens is more dam
gcrous than 1t was "over there" Our
soft prosperity, our distance from the
struggle, temptS weak men to cling to
the comforts Of peace. We have not
felt the gaff Of war. Not yet have we
learned the pain of that full deep
thrust Of regret that when democracy
called for US, we, the pioneers of lib
erty, asked why and how and when
but, ut first, did not come. We have
not learned even the prelude of that
day when the war will have seized
upon and wrung our hearts, when the
ghosts Of our men come back TO sit in
the farmhouse kitchen or in the leather
chairs of the club, to click the latches
of village gates, and march in invisible
brigades up the asphalted avenues.
SO the flabby men and women among
us still go on asking in that voice of
childish eagerness, "How long will the
