DR.. F A. Perry Speaks
Next Monday Night

When the war broke out DR.. Fred
erick A. Perry was clergyman at
Adrian, Mich. TOO old to fight" he
obtained leave from his church to go
to France as a Y. M. c. A. worker,
spent six months there, at times
working in the front line trenches,
never far behind the firing lines.
In November he came back to urge
other Americans to do more than
they are doing to help win this war.
At the front no matter how hard he
worked, he could only perform the
duty of one man. Here, bringing the,
message of wars horror to thousands
of men and women, he felt his serY-
ice would be more effective
On his return to America DR. Perry
did not rest single day but began
at once a speaking tour of the coun-
try, seeking to enlist active aid for
the army 7. NJ. G. A. No sooner was
that campaign successfully concluded
than DR.. Perry began Iecturing for.
the Red Gross. 1t is in behalf of that
organization that he will be in Wa
tertown on the evening of May 18th.
During his service at the front, DR..
Perry studied the war from every an
gle. He observed the morale of the
armies, of the Germans, through pris-
oners taken, of the French, British
and finally of the Americans under
General Pershing. "The war can only
have one issue, final, complete victory
for the allies is his verdict.
The greatest foe to patriotism at the
present time. DR.. Perry declares, is
the pro- German propaganda circulated
throughout the world To combat |
this insidious enemy DR.. Perry is
speaking night and day, backing his
statements with Photographic proof
in some cases, in others with his own |
word of what he saw at the front, |
supported by afidayits of other wit

THE SELF FEEDER
IN HOG FEEDING

jackson county F. B. News Letter.
Have you ever stopped to consider
how much time you have put in TAX
ing care of lot of hogs in the feed
lot and what hard labor it means if
you feed hem by hand and make a
slop to slop them? Did you ever con-
slider that there was way in which
you could eliminate nearly all this
hard work and still, at the same time
make larger and cheaper gains than
you did by the old system?
The self feeder for feeding hogs
is the thing that has done away with
lot of the hard work in hog feeding
and has proved that it is better
feeder than any man can be. Get a
self feeder for all of your feeds,
have a large one for your corn and
smaller ones for your shorts, oil meal,
tankage, etc. Place these out in your
feed lot and let the hogs help them
selves. All that is necessary is to
keep some nice cool water before
them and keep their quarters clean.
It has been found that hogs will
balance their rations far better than
if fed by hand.
From exheriments carried on at the
Kansas Experiment Station, it was
cent faster and required 34.24 pounds
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1918-12-26

found that they made gains rs per
less feed to make 100 pounds gain
than it did with hand fed lots. The
Iowa station found that they made
their gains with a self feeder about
Is percent faster and that they cost
them about 10 percent less than with
the hand feeding.
In this time of scarcity Of labor can
you afford to be without one? You
can easily build one Of your own.
The cost is not very great and it will
not require much time to put one to-
gether. The Experiment Department
at Manhattan has a bulletin which
gives informs don on the self feeder
and gives instructions for making
same. Copies Of this bulletin can be
secured at my office or from the de-
partment at Manhattan.

HOME GROWN FEED
FOR DAIRY cows

To feed the dairy herd we'll, with
the minimum Of grain, substitutes
must be furnished for at least part
of the grain. With a good pasture
during the entire summer with rich
corn silage and frst-class legume hay
for winter feeding, good dairy cows
will yield heavy flow Of milk at a
minimum of cost. Clover, alfalfa,
cowpea, soy-bean, velvet-bean or
other silage, will maintain a medium
production at a relatively low cost.
Under ordinary farm conditions it is
not to be expected that legume hay
will take the place Of the entire grain
ration, but if it is substituted in part
large quantities of grain will be re-
leased for human food.

WATER SYSTEMS

No convenience adds more to the

the need of water system and
realize its value, but think that it is
too expensive, They are overlooking
the fact that there is a successful and
practical water system which is with
in the reach of every farmer. 1t

SAVE LABOR BY SEED
CORN SELECTION

Saving seed corn saves labor. This
is one of the main reasons for careful
seed corn selection, says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which points out that just as much
labor is often employed in producing
nubbins as would be required to
grow full ears. The more bushels of
corn to the acre, as the result of good
seed, the less the labor required to
grow each bushel.
To save labor during the prepare
ton of the ground, and the planting,
cultivation, and harvesting of the
crop in relation to the quantity of
corn grown, the wise farmer will now
devote special attention to selecting
a two-years' seed supply. He will
not make seed gathering a merely in
cidental operation, connected with
harvesting or shocking, but will de-
vote his whole attention to the Sc
lection Of the best ears as they grow
in the field, under the condition the
crop has to contend with. By thus
using his time this fall he will save
the labor of many men all next sum-
mer.
In other words, says the depart
ment, the stalk Of corn that produces
well under ordinary field conditions,
in competition with other stalks, is
likely to transmit high yielding ability
to its seed. Where field seed selec-
ton results in doubling the acre yield,
the result is practically equivilant to
cutting down by one-half the labor
required to produce the crop.
