Pigs MAKE RAPID
GAINS ON skim MILK
MOST VALUABLE SUPPLEMENT
TO CORN FOR HOG FEEDING
THAT CAN BE HAD.
LOWERS THE FEEDING COST
euttermilk Is About EQUAL in FEEDING
Value To Skim Milk For
Older Hogs.

Datrymen in certain sections Of
Louisiana have surplus of skim milk
at present for which they can not find
market. AS a result of feeding ex-
perlments at number of state ex-
pertinent stations throughout the
country, it has been found that skim
milk is the most valuable supplement
to corn for hog feeding that can be
had. The amount of skim milk fed
in proportion to the amount Of corn
has very little effect on the final re-
suits. However, for each pound Of
corn the amount OF skim milk should
be somewhere between one and four
pounds. With young pigs. or pigs
just weaned. greater proportion Of
skim milk will give better results than
with older animals.
At the Ohio experiment station Il
was found that hogs fed with corn
and skim milk made gain of col
pounds of pork for every bushel Of
corn compared to gain of 13.1 pounds
for every bushel of corn where they
were fed on corn with rape pasture.
The animals getting skim milk also
made much more rapid gains than
those on rape pasture. In another test
at this same station hogs on pasture
and fed corn alone made an average
daily gain of 1.09 pounds per head
compared to an average daily gain of
1.65 pounds made by hogs that were
fed skim milk in addition to the above
mentioned ration.
When skim milk is fed in addition
to corn the hogs make more rapid
and cheaper gains than when corn is
fed alone. In this connection it may
be well to state that one hundred
pounds Of skim milk is approximately
equal in value 20 one-half bushel n
corn when fed In addition to corn as
compared to feeding corn alone. But
termilk is, about equal in feeding value
to skim milk for older hogs. although
It is not so good for small pigs that

the proof of this.
It has not been very long ago since

man as mere lad, and, i'll truth. he

AT special meeting of the Lake

held at Lakeylew. Oregon, on the
30th day OF June, 1918, the follow
ing resolution was duly moved, sec
onded and adopted by, unanimous
vote of those present:
WHEREAS, During the Winter OF
1917-i91S, the snowfall IN the graz

average crop OF natural hay. and
WHEREAS. The flockmasters of
this Association have made every ef-
fort to secure sufficient hay to In
sure the safe wintering OF their
breeding sheep but without success,
II being impossible to procure hay In
any quantity at any price, and
WHEREAS, Unless sufficient
fodder can be secured. II will be nee
essary for the sheepmen to sell at
least one-half OF their breed sheep for
mutton. which will not only entail
very considerable loss to the people
generally. and to the Government.
through the shortage of wool which
must ensue, but will also result In
the ruin of the sheep industry In this
county. and In the Northwest gener.
ally where such conditions obtain,
and
WHEREAS. The seriousness OF
the situation cannot be over-estima-
ted; there Is little water on the
range (cattle In great numbers are
dying for lack OF feed and water).
and even the summer range is dan
gerously short ard the sheep will be

WHEREAS. The Government has
deemed II advisable and necessary TO
the public interest to assume GER

sheep industry, through the fixing OF
the price of wool, and II is only just
and proper that some assistance
should be rendered the sheep men at
this critical time, in order that the
wholesale catastrophe which threat
ems to cripple the industry may be
averted, and
WHEREAS, In mere self protec-
tion, the Government is vitally inter-
ested In this matter, when II Is ap-
preciated that, In Lake, and the ad-
Joining county of Harney and Klam-

ATTITUDE TOWARD
%SCANDINAVIANS MENACING

London, March 1.-THE newest and
d novel display of German policy has
come in the form Of a sudden broad
side of denunciation of the Scandi-
navian countries by German newspa-
pers and publicists, like Count Revent-
low of the Tages Zeitung. From the
similarity of the articles it is evident
they are directed by one mind, which
mind apparently is the German govern
ment.
The articles ct the Scandinavian
countries substantially Of being accom-
plices Of the entente and warn them
that, therefore they can expect no con-
sideration from Germany: The reason
for this policy is plain to. diplomats
here. Germany's dealings with Finland
thus far seem To be designed to make
Finland a minor German kingdom, with
the emperor's son, Prince Oscar, on the
throne, n to make another Helgeland
of the Aland islands.
This scheme is a direct blow against
Sweden. and in a less Hegree against
Denmark n Norway, and Is in line
with the German emperor's boas that
the Baltic isl" nds AVE been made per-
manently German.
The Aland islands, geographically. are
as much a part Of Sweden as New
Foundland is Of Canada. Throughout
the war Sweden has been troubled by
the fear that Russia would take them.
The Tabor independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1913-19??, 1918-03-14

Germany nov occupies the islands tenn
porarily. but the German flag flies over
the public buildings, and no one be.
lieVoS it will come down except by
force. The most practical effect of Ger
man control Of Finland and the Aland
stands is pointed out byCount ReVent-
low. who says they will no longer be
used as a commercial bridge between
Scandinavia and Russia. This is Il bar
to American as well as to British trade
with russia. =
Doesn't Need Friendship.
That the Scandinavian countries have
been over friendly TO the entente cane
here as an amusing charge. Sweden
has been generally rated the most pro-
German Of the neutral European ma
tons, except possibly Spain.
For a long time II was feared that
Sweden would join the Germanic al
lance. According to one newspaper,
55 per CEN of the steel Germany has
used for munitions has been furnished
by Sweden.
Denmark has never been considered
over friendly to the entente.
The latest German move appears to
be a familiar one. Germany feels that
she now is in a position where she is
so strong in the north that she need no
longer cultivate the friendship Of the
Scandinavian countries.

Americans Are Preparing
To Occupy 100 Mile Line
Our Sector in France This Year Will Be Longer Than That Held
BY British at End of Two Years-First Full
Field Army Ready Soon.

An army corps under ordinary con
ditions of terrain can be expected to
hold a 16-mile front Of trenches, or
about nine miles of geographical front.
The first American field army. there
fore, may be able to take over 100
miles Of French line. Censorship reg
ulations prohibit the publication of the
approximate date upon which this
may be expected. If the present sched-
ule is maintained, however, it is safe to
say hat by January, 1919, or earlier,
American troops will be holding q
longer stretch Of front than was held
by the British after more than two
years of war.
Under the six corps field army plaa
auxiliary troops numbering more than
300,0 600 would be required, each army
corps having about 10000, and the
field army 1870, 600. The same number
of fighting men under the three corps
plan would have required between
100000 and 10000 corps Il army
troops.
While it should be stated that no
definite plan of organization has yet
been approved, it is known that Cen
eral Pershing has expressed himself in
favor of the larger unit.

Washington. d. c., March 12-With
men, material and supplies moving for
ward to General Pershing in full &C
cordance with the prearranged sche-
dule, the war department has taken
up the organization of the first field
army, the largest tactical unit used in
modern warfare. Until General PERISH
ing has under his command a complete
field army no further organization or
fighting units will be started.
1t was originally the intention of the
department to form the Typical field
army by combining three army corps,
but it is understood that this plan
has been abandoned for one which calls
for five or six. The purpose Of this
is to reduce the number of men re-
uuired for organizing the army troops
the special units attached speci-
fically to the field army for use in con-
trolling the lines of communication
from the ports of debarkation to the
army corps rail heads.
The army troops include also the
great artillery reserve Of s. 10 and 12-
inch guns. both of fixed emplacements
and mobile type, the anti-aircraft guns
and the other units which the com
handkerchief is given to throw an
enemy offensive.

MITCHELL SOLDIER
IS AGAIN PROMOTED

Mitchell, S. D., March 13.-Maj. NJ. l..
Shade now in France with the South
Dakota troops, has been promoted to
the rank of lieutenant colonel.
AS a result of this latest promotion
Colonel Shade bears the distinction of
receiving two promotions while with
the regular army, both since the tim6
the South Dakota men were mustered
in at Redfield in July, 1916. Colonel
Shade has always been considered one
Of the best authorities in the state or
military tactics and received the com
mendation of Brigadier General BullarG
for his work on the Mexican border.
Colonel Shade is a veteran of two
periods of enlistments in the Philip.
pines. Going there with an Iowa com.
pany he reenlisted on the expiration Of
his time in q regiment under Colonel
Bell.
After the soldiers returned from the
islands Shade went TO Mexico as a
civilian where he "roughed it" for a
time.
From Mexico he came to Mitchell and
engaged in the insurance business. 1t
was during this period that he organ
lied Company T., South Dakota infan-
try and was made captain Of the COM
rany.
When the call came for service on
the border he was living at Redfield
where he was the captain of the guard
supply company. When the state troops
modified there Captain Shade was
madca major. During his residence in
Mitchell he was chief of police for some
time under the mayoralty of A. f.
Hitchcock.
