BIG PROFIT FROM BIG
 WASTE
By-Products of Factory and Farm
 Put to Good Use

Many people can still remember the great piles of bone and carrion that once greeted the eye on the prairies abound the packing center of Chicago "a gigantic waste and 8 nuisance. Buzzards and dogs were there by the thousand. The stench was awful. Then the nuisance itself prompted ways and means for profitable disposal of the bones. Fertilizer was made from them lat a good profit. Then followed means for making profit from the other wastes -hoofS, horns, hair, etc. Now hundreds of commodities are made from what was formerly waste, and the directors of the great I.-cking firms will tell you that meat is often sold at loss, the profit from the by- products making up for it.
 For another example, take the steel industry. From the blast furnaces there used to escape gases that were 8 menace to the health of the com nunity. They lighted up the heavens for miles around as they burned. Pure waste of fuel that was. for nowadays those same gases, refined of course, fur nish enormous horse power in the way of gas for the engines that run the machinery of the mills.
 The Big Waste on the Farm
 There is waste right at home that might be turned to good profit. The next time you drive to or from town, notice the piles of manure either in the barnyard or on the field waiting to be spread. True enough those piles will be spread, and they'll do lot of good, but they mean big waste if they're not spread soon. All the ex- pertinent stations tell us that exposure of the manure to the weather for six months means waste of half of the plant food in the manure.
 This means bigger loss than most of us realize. The average farm pro- duces 100 tons of manure in year. It is worth at least $5.5O ton in crop increasing. according to the latest re- ports. So 100 tons is $550 worth. Six months teaching loses one-half, or s250 worth.
 Whats the remedyq Frequent spreading. Manure spread on the field either dries out and stops fermenting and losing ammonia, or else the plant food is leached into the soil where it belongs.
 But the job is nuisance. Sure it ls-by hand. What about a spreader? That's the idea. Make the job easier and it will be done oftener. The spreader will do the work twice as well, too, making the manure go omuch farther and breaking up the Jumps. Some of those new wide spread ma- chimes beat the manure twice and spread it way beyond the wheels.
 Spreader Saves $366 on Is Acres
 The present high prices for farm products make spreader pay for itself faster than ever before. One Nebraska farmer experimented and found total gain of sl22 for spreader over hand work on six acres of corn and ten of meadow. That was at time when corn was 50c and hay $l0. The gain would be about three times S122 or S366 now with prices as high as they are.
 Without doubt the liberal use of spreaders would do more to boost crops in this county than any other one thing. They'd turn big waste into big proft- and mighty quick, too.

The allied armies have taken no heed of the efforts under way for the re- establishment of peace, but are con- tinuing to force back the Germans at vital points along the lines in Belgium and France.

NoRTHcLlFFE's OPINION
 OF GERMANY'S REPLY

London, Oct 21.--Lord Northcliffe, commenting on Ger many's reply to- night, said:
 "A hasty perusal of the German note reveals that, with truly Prussian sell fishness, no mention is made of Aus tria- Hungary or Turkey It seems to me that the document may be read either as a means to gain time or as a confession of a state of affairs mili- tarily and economically worse than we know
 ''The German government may be hoping to exploit the conditions of the armistice as an outrage upon Ger man honor and as a means of rallying the German nation for desperate re- sistance, or it may simply be trying to put the president into the posi- tion of trustee for the German people, which will have thrown itself upon his mercy.
 'The least satisfactory feature of the reply is the shameless prevari- cation with regard to German out rages on land ard sea, and the sug- gestion that this be dealt with by a neutral commission is mere subter- fuge. The arguments employed tc prove that Q reform of the German constitution has been accomplished are unworthy of serious consideration
 The president. who dealt so firm ly and shrewdly with the previous German attempts to entangle him ir wordy discussions, may be trusted tc compel the German government tc show whether it really intends uncorS ditional surrender which alone can satisfy the demands of the military and naval authorities of the allies, ol whether it simply is playing fol 1 time"
