POTATOES GOOD STOCK FEED
iF FED WITH GRAINS.
Experiments at Oregon show Highest
Gains From Steamed Potatoes
and Barley.

Raw potatoes fed alone will barely
maintain weight In hogs. Potatoes
should always be fed with some grain
in hog feeding. and are much better
when cooked or steamed.
Two series of experiments with po-
tatoes show how they compare with
grain. The Wisconsin Station fed
hogs weighing approximately $50
pounds each on a ration OF four pounds
corn and ia pounds potatoes, max
ing gains of " pounds per day. Hogs
fed corn alone required 440 pounds
corn for 100 pounds gain. Those fed
potatoes required 262 pounds OF corn
and 1876 pounds of potatoes. 1t took
442 pounds OF cooked potatoes TO equal
100 pounds OF corn.
The Oregon Station obtained slight
ly better results, using steamed pota-
toes and barley and 15.8 pounds Of
steamed potatoes and barley. Hogs
getting 2.6 pounds barley and 1873
pounds steamed potatoes made the
game daily gains as hogs getting IL
pounds barley The gain was 1.66
pounds per day. Hogs getting 4
pounds barley and IL pounds raw po-
tatoes gained LA pounds per day. and
those getting AZ pounds barley and
1884 pounds steamed potatoes gained
1876 pounds per day. This last ration
ehows the highest gain and is cheaper
than the all barley ration. but is not
as cheap aa that with the high allow
ance Of potatoes at present prices.
With barley at $3.50 per hundred,
raw potatoes at s6c and steamed po-
tatoes at 75c per hundred. the costs OF
gains would be as follows:

POPULARIZING STAMPS

Returns from various cities show
that the public is beginning to ap-
preciate the importance and the
value of the War Saving Certificates
and Thrift Stamps. Sales have in
creased everywhere, and there is
reason for feeling that this issue of
Government securities will be even
tually successful. But if this is TO
be so there must be no letup on the
part of those who are charged with
the task of exploiting these baby
bonds" Mr.. Frank Vanderlip, who
has been touring the country, advo-
eating the sale of the certificates
and stamps, says that every wage
Garner should possess some or them.
Heels bringing the facts home to
the people in q manner that may be
understood by all. He says, in
truth, that the success of these, as
we'll as the other bond issues, is
needed for the winning of the war.
The big bond issues. in manner,
take care of themselves. They ap-
peal to the large investors, or at
least to those who have more than
the average amount of capital.
They are frequently aided by syndi-
Gates organized for the purpose.
But this issue of certificates and
stamps cannot be a success without
the interest and cooperation of the
mass of the people.
In this city gratifying success is
being made with the sales of the
small securities. The same condi-
ton is true of the state at large.
The state director. Mr.. Cassatt, re-
ports that each of the counties has
been organized and that he will soon
be in receipt of weekly reports from
all centers, which will show the
amount of work that is being ac-
complished in each community.
In Philadelphia the numerous busi-
| nessmen's associations have taken
up the work and established agen-
cies for the disposal of the stamps
of the hotelmen has done the same
thing, so that now any prospective
purchaser may find it convenient to
get the securities in almost every
part of the city. Every letter car
rier has been commissioned as a
salesman, and every police station
house is an agency for the disposal
of these stamps.
With the advent of the new year
it would be good thing If every
family would resolve to put its saw
ings in these Government issues.
They pay higher rate of interest
than the savings funds, and they
are as safe and as reliable as the
Government itself. They encourage
the habit of thrift and it will be a
surprise IL they do not prove to be
the means of encouraging saving
among those who have never prac-
ticed 1t before. The next few
weeks will put the public to the
fnGf and ~ &c =,
that the results will Justify the on
| timism of those who were most earn
est in advocating Sthe issue of this
popular method of raising money
which the Government needs at this
time.-Philadelph Inquirer.

YOUNG MEN DIE HERE

A woman said to me, Are you not
glad
Your son is far too young to go to
France?"
Madame, 1 envy every youth who
goes,
And every mother of whose flesh
they're made.
You say, "They may be killed, those
tawny lads
Young men die here clad in the garb
of peace;
Grim death respects not time, nor
place, nor age.
But over there those lads in camp
and trench
Have laid youths doubts aside; a
sacred cause
Thrills every heart; inspires them as
they stand
Together, facing the fierce hordes of
hell.
To fight with brothers for ones
brother man,
To fight that women's tears may
cease to flow,
To fight for safety of little child
Is life indeed. Our soldiers are
Death comes to all; real life belongs
to few,
Could any mother ask a greater
boon
Than that her boy may live before
he dies?

A SHIPPING CENTER

"HE removal of possibly the old
est market street business
house to South Second street,
where it will engage more extensively
in wholesale and retail trade re-
quiring large warehouses and the
best of shipping facilities, serves to
emphasize the gradual transforma-
tion of that district. Years ago il was
a residence place for many OF the
older and more prosperous families
of the city. Later it was given over
largely to rooming houses and retail
stores. But in recent years, as was
foreseen by those who gave the mat
ter attention, it has come almost
exclusively to be devoted to whole
sale purposes.
The future of Harrisburg does not
lie solely along manufacturing or
railroad lines, although railroads will
play a large part, but as a point of
distribution for manufacturers whose
plants are located elsewhere and
for large local retail and wholesale
firms. This the railroad people realize
and they are preparing for the in
crease of local traffic that is already
in sight. Those who are advertising
the citV should always remember our
advantages and facilities in this line.

4 People Gone Mad
Adele NJ and Russell Phillips in the Atlantic Monthly

TT was the German eagerness to
absorb the slightest report OF
victory, whether verified or not
and the elation which followed; the
malignant satisfaction evinced at the
tales of cruelty; the delight in the
extreme suffering of the unfortunate
people who stood in the way of the
desired end, which amazed and re-
Volted us. Living among them so
many years, we have always found
the Germans, and especially the Ber-
liners, so menschlich, so eager for
the good opinion of the ousside
world ,and their home life so Se-
mutlich, that we could not credit
this radical and amazing change of
character.
In the twelve long years previous
to this outbreak of the war, during
which we had resided in Berlin, we
had not encountered this spirit. We
had been always kindly received and
had appreciated to the utmost the
hospitality extended to us, which, as
everybody knows who has resided in
the city for any length of time, is
boundless to the stranger upon

STRIPPING GERMANY

VTTE have heard contradictory
wv stories as to conditions in
Germany-some to the effect
that the country is stripped bare of
all materials that can be used in the
prosecution of the war, and others
that despite the allied blockade Ger
many has plenty of everything
needed with which to keep up the
conflict. Probably we shall not
know the truth until long after the
war ends. But there are signs that
the Germans are getting we'll to-
ward tho bottom of their supply bin,
even if there is much remaining.
This is illustrated by announcement
from the city of Cologne that the
great "Kaiser's Bell" containing
$4,000 pounds of metal, the pride of
the emperor and the dearest possess
sion of the city, has been sacrificed
to meet the metal shortage.
Not only was this bell named in
honor of the ruler of the empire, but
It was made from French cannon
captured by the Germans in 1870
and 1871 and was dedicated on Will
helms birthday in 1877. BY all the
rules of German preference it should
have stood inviolate. But German
need must have reached a sore stage
when by government order and pub
lie consent such a relic was torn
from it's place of honor and de-
livered over to the melting pot for
the manufacture of war supplies.

BUSINESS AND BOOZE

Is it true that there is less drink
ing by business men than used to be
the habit? Here is a bit of evil
dence: The entire liquor bill of all
the lunchers and diners at the Ad-
vertising Club of New York for a
recent month was thirty dollars!
There was something like 1000 reg
ular meals served in the club rooms
during those twenty-six working
Gays, not reckoning the dinner par
ties. This makes the average bill
for booze not over eight-tenths of
cent per person per meal. In
other words, not over one diner in
forty took drink with his meal.
We find these figures recorded in q
recent issue of New York adver-
tising journal-not professional
organ of temperance-we pass them
on to the young men of other cities,
who can be trusted to draw their
own conclusions as to the habits OF
the successful members of what is,
possibly the most modern ana
progressive of professions.-Chicago

of Course Animals Think

re. Z. Hartman. in Literary
Digestl
T am surprised that any one
should still hold to the old theory
that animals do not think. That
theory is smashed completely by
the one fact that memory, which Is
conceded to all animals by every
one who knows them at all, is de-
fined as the conscious reproduction
of a previous thought If they do
rot think, whence comes the pre-
vious thought?" Either our scien-
tific men who deny thought in the
lower orders must agree that
thought is common with these ami
mails. or they must remodel the dfi-
milton of theory.
How about the mare that broke
through a barbed-wire fence and
travelled a mile and half to the
home of my brother-in-law when
she was sick, waking him in the
middle of the night by paving at his
door. because her owner had taken
her there a year before when she
was sick as now? How about our
ownr red COW with the lop horn, who
learned to carry her bell so the clap
per would not touch the bell while
How about that same COW, after
trying to reach a choice morsel
through the fence, stepping back to
look the situation over, then getting
down on her knees to run her head
under the fence. which was on short
posts that keep it two feet off the
ground, rolling to her side and
kicking herself through below the
rails to the garden? How about the
mischievous horse of Henry Fergu-
son, in Minnesota, that would tease
his mate to try and bite his knee
then either bump the nose of the
bitter with his knee or catch his rein
in his teeth and yank on it till the
mate threw his head up? Saw that
done myself at least a dozen times
in an hour.
Think? I guess they do. Far
more than some of our Congressman
seem to do. They not only think.
but they plan and scheme. I could
cite a hundred instances that have
come under my own observation
which prove 1t. But Webster settled
the thought controversy by defining
memory, so now let the wise men
make a new definition or cry quits

THE JANUARY THAW"

= is getting round toward the time
for the annual January thaw,"
but like as not it won't come.
The January thaw" used to be con-
sidered just and sufficient cause for
"cussing" the weatherman. Every
body but the doctors-who collected
vast sums from grip and pneumonia
victims-had hard word to say for
the January thaw." vile weather"
we used to call it, and it was quite
the thing for the newspapers topprint
column upon column about the
ravages of influenza and kindred
diseases. But that was before we
learned that it is better to suffer the
pangs and pains of grip than to
freeze to death in a fireless house.
Back in the coal age, so to speak, the
January thaw" was a thing to be
dreaded, but now. with even the
optimistic DR.. Garfield admitting the
seriousness of the fuel shortage, We
would hail a general thaw as provi-
dental blessing.
That's the way with most things
in this life. When you want some
thing you can't get it and when you
have it you find most likely 1t is en-
everlasting nuisance. But most of us
would be willing to slosh around
in the slush and dodge falling iclcles
and sliding snow in order to save n
bucketful of coal The fellow who
used to wish for an "old-fashioned'
winter is silent as the grave. He
would be about as popular did he
speak out as the Kaiser would be in
Paris. What we want is spring and
even the harbinger embodied in. a
January thaw" would be welcomed.
Any kind of weather just so the tenn
perature is above freezing. Spring is
going to bring Easter and the spring
fashions to plague married men. and
more Liberty Loans and other cam
paigns to tax all of us, but that
won't matter, for the coal bin will
have ceased to be the most impor-
tant apartment of the house. Spring
didn't mean much to us previously.
We read the seed catalogues, plan
ned our gardens, bought some new
clothes-if we had the price-took a
dose or two of spring tonic, began to
take notice of the sporting goods
stores where fishing tackle is dis
played and observed casually to our
neighbor, Hi, no, we'll, we'll, here's
spring again and it hardly seems any
time since Christmas" We used to
read with mere passive interest that

HORSE AND FLIVVER

The final eulogy to Henry Ford
has been rhymed by j. p. McEvoy
in the Chicago Tribune in behalf
of our friend the unfortunate horse,
as follows:
Beside me on the curb you're rolled,
And warm fur robes around you
cast.
While /, uncovered, shake with cold
In binding snow and chilling
blast;
But I should be resigned, of course;
You are a fivver-Im a horse.
And it is right that robes of fur
Be wrapped around your fragile
form,
For injury you might incur
If left uncovered to the storm
While I will be immune, of course,
I'm not a car-I'm just horse.
And standing naked all day long
In wintry winds that cut like
steel
Is good for horses. who are strong
But 1 confess. some grief l feel;
I was assembled by the Lord,
I wish it had been Henry Ford.
