A WALL STREET VIEW.

An optimistic note is sounded in the
Weekly Financial Review issued bv
Henry Clews, which under date of
January says:
The year opens with an extraordi-
nar1iy conflicting outlook For those
VINO really enjoy living on the shady
side of the street, there is plenty of
company. The pessimist can readily
dwell upon anarchy in Russia; upon
1erlnanys momentary military sue
cesses; upon the terrible cost of the
war; upon the economic and political
upheaVal, and upon numerous other
depressing factors. And vet every
healthy minded, thoughtful American
refuses to be downhearted On the
contrary. he is more confident than
ever in an allied victory. He believes
that the enemy is nearing the end Of
his power; that he is unable to hold
mis- winnings and is marching to in
eVitable collapse when our armies
reach France.
Germany is gradually breaking
down financially. economically and
politically. She is threatened with
revolution, and only the cohesion of
her military machine, which is fight
ing for its very life, holds the fabric
together. How long the autocrats
it is certain that dissensions within.
coupled with opposition of the whole
civilized world without, will have but
one end, and that is ignominious der
feat =
Blinded by empty victories and false
leadership, Germany seems utterly un-
able to read the handwriting on the
wall. Civilization outside of Germany,
however, recognizes that it cannot live.
If Germany's ideals and purposes pre-
vail.
The war may continue for weeks, or
months. Nevertheless, the real foun-
dalton for hope on the allies side has
never been so clear and strong as now.
AT present the brunt of the struggle
falls on Britain and France. Both
are enduring the strain infinitely bet
ter than ever anticipated; and both
! show an uncomfortable spirit and a
| steady rising of morale, while that of
the enemy is declining. Both of these
| countries are bearing the strain with
| surprising ability; and there is no
! doubt that they will be able to hold on
until American soldiers reach France
| In sufficient force to overwhelm the
| foe. Perhaps this will happen in the
| coming spring; and, if fate should
postpone the grand decision, prostra-
| ton of the enemy will be far greater
than il wise counsels induced an ear
! lier yielding to the inevitable. Back
| of these considerations, which are
sound reasons for hope, is the belief
growing daily that the world is surely
| facing a new and a better era than
the one now so rapidly passing away

an opportunity again to take her place

she does not at all deserve.

An act of congress of 1916 appro-
priated 100000 for the prevention
and spread of epidemic diseases. and
required the secretary of the treas
ury to submit a detailed report" of
the expenditures. The report shows
that half of the money was spent in
the state of Louisiana, and this sum
is detailed as follows: Salaries, $685.
S90.6S; supplies, s2,9o6.S1; rents,
$3,o00.50; subsistence, services. etc,
s1,6S5.73; total. s2o1. 4S372. Appar-
emily the people of Louisiana are es-
pecially susceptible to epidemic dis
eases. 1t would be interesting to know
the nature of these ailments.

Oh. Pastor, Who Told You?

We have received a letter from a
minister, who says:
"Our country, the grandest on
earth, which has led all European ma
tions for twenty-five years in matters
of reform, is in peril. The immodest
and indecent short skirts must go.
They are converting secret vice into
public vice and will convert our fair
land into a seething hades. Unless
the tidal wave of moral laxity and so
cial degeneracy which is sweeping
over our land is stayed what will
the end be? I wish you would say
something against his evil"
All, no. The skirts long ago struck
us speeches..
We have nothing at ali to say, and
indeed we can say nothing. Unlike
the pastor. we haven't been bothered
by them.
Those scientists are certainly the
cheerful old boys
Last evening while sitting in front
of our ice-bound radiator we picked
up a highbrow magazine and read:
Professor Blank. a scientist connect
ed with the University of California
says: The sun has plenty of heat
to warm the earth for millions OF
years"
/ Perhaps. But the sun lays down on
the job every evening just at the very
| time it begins to get cold.
Reading the news from Russia
| Is rare sport. If you don't weaken
In the morning it is true,
| In the evening it is untrue.
In the morning it is true again.
! Ten years from now, perhaps,
The truth about Russia will
/ Begin seeping out.
| But, in the meantime,
| Life is too short,
And we've got family to feed.

The bureau does not expect to have
this plan put thru congress this year,
owing to the terrific pressure of war
legislation, but it confidently expects
that some action will be taken by the
government next year.
The war has only served to empha-
size the Importance of maternal and
infant welfare work in Europe, where
almost every nation has taken some
progressive step for the protection of
mothers and babies during the past
year. Every government-even the
Germans now issuing maternity
benefits. France and Italy have of
ficially adopted their orphans. Great
Britain has instituted an infant well
fare campaign that has reduced the
infant mortality rate from 1OS per
/, 900 births in 1914 to 81 per 1000
births in 1915.
This reduction was accomplished by
the maintenance of public health
nurses whose speciality was maternal
cases. In 1916 one thousand of these
nurses were employed by all the
metropolitan boroughs, whicl- repre-
scented one health visitor, approx
mately, to every 500 births. The in
crease in work for the protection of
maternity thru the careful supervision
of midwifery and the provision of free
parental care and skilled confinement
care for those unable to pay for it also
assisted in the reduction, according to

Does The Horse Lie Down?

One occasionally sees the statement
that horses seldom, il ever, lie down.
That there are horses whose care
takers have never seen them resting
in that way we do not question, be-
cause we have heard IL from stable
men who have carefully observed
them. But no one who knows any
thing about horses, and who has seen
them stretched out at full length in
pastures and in stalls, and who has
noticed the unmistakoble evidences
on the horses themselves in the morn
ing of having lain down, will credit
the assertion. Many a horse is
doubtless too sensible to lie down on a
rough, filthy, Embedded floor. but give
him a comfortable, well-bedded stall,
and not only will he lie down but re-
pay his owner with better service
and more years Of service and more
years of usefulness because of the
more perfect rest thus obtained.

Fcc, Dry Rourhagc First Then silage

Feed Dry Roughage First Then SiIage
Before starting to feed silage to
beef cattle this winter, a careful esti-
mate of the total amount on hand
should be made, as 1t is not good
practice to feed silage in such a way
as to exhaust the supply and be com
PEELED to feed dry roughage following
the silage before turning to pasture
in the spring If shortage is an
ticipated there are two ways to meet
the situation-either feed dry rough
ages altogether for a time at the be-
ginning and keep the silage until the
latter part of the feeding period, or
feed small amount of silage and
other roughage throughout the win
ter
Su Efficient silage and other rough
ages should be provided so as to be-
gin feeding the cattle by the 1st of
January at least, and to last until the
LIST to the 18th of April. This later
date is suggested so as to keep the
animals off the grass in the spring
and protect the pasture as long as
possible. Best results from feeding
silage are obtained when some dry
roughage is fed along with 1t. I'm
less legume hays are used a small
amount of cotton seed meal, one-half
90 one pound, should be used.
