Foreign Minister of the Bolsheviki
 Says He Does Not Wish to . Hinder Negotiations
WHETHER OR NOT THE
 ENTENTE PARTICIPATE
K1ylenl1o Issues Call for Volunteers in the Nature of an Appeal and as a Reply to the German peace Pro- ]. posals Says American Money is Providing War Material for Kale- dimes

Amsterdam, Jan. 12-Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister, at the conference at Brest-Litovsk yes- D terday, said that in order not to leave any possibility in the fight for peace unutilized, the Russian delegation ac- cepted the demand that negotiations be continued at Brest- -Litovsk.
 The chairman of the Russian dele gation said that in full accord with their former resolution, the Russians desired to continue the peace negotia- +ions apart from the fact whether or not the Entente powers participat- cd
 Trotzky said he had noted the state ment Of the Central powers that the basis of a general peace as formu- lated in the declaration of Dec. 25 . was null and void and added: # We adhere to the principles of s democratic peace as proclaimed by us''
 M. Trotzky considered the great forces of the Russian people had been awakened and developed by the revo- lution just as the Reformation of the 16th century and revolution of the 18th century had vitalized the creative forces of the German and French peo- pies. He added:
 'The Russian government wrote the word peace at the head of it's pro- gram. Great sympathies of Russian peoples for the peoples of the Allies strengthen the desire to obtain the quickest peace, based on understand ing among the people,
 Referring to the objection raised by .he Central powers that transfer of the negotiations to Stockholm or some F other neutral point, as requested by Russia, might enable the Entente na- tions to interfere, M. Trotzky said the Bolsheviki government had been con- sistent and independent in it's peace policy, and that there was no reason to assume Entente diplomacy would be able to oppose the conclusion of peace more successfully on neutral soil than in Petrograd.
 As for the fear of the Central pow CTS that the Entente nations might endeavor behind the scenes to hinder the conclusion of peace Trotzizy de- clared the Bolshevlk policy was con- duCted without the secret methods O1 the old diplomacy, which like many other things had been abolished by the Russians in their victorious revo- Y lution of October. It was the opinion of Russian delegates, that neither pol icy nor technical circumstances ren- dered it necessary to hold the sessions at BreSt-Litovsk.

Pure-Bred Herds That Have Success

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
One hundred and Seventy-one herds,
representing $3.50 cattle, were quail
fed June / for the accredited list of
pure-bred herds Of cattle free from tu-
berculosis which the department Of az.
riculture is developing to insure dis
ease-free sources Of pure-bred stocks.
In order to have his herd accredited
the owner must comply with uniform
rules approved by the United States
department Of agriculture and adopted
by nearly all of the states, which re-
quire that every animal pass at least
two successful annual tuberculin tests.
In addition to the number of herds
mentioned, more than 600 others have
passed one successful test in prepara-
ton for accrediting. One of the many
advantages Of having accredited herds,
which is proving popular with breed
ers, is that the owner may make inter-
state shipments accompanied by GER
tificate at any time within one year
without subjecting the animals to fur
ther tuberculin tests.

Felt Hats.

Blocked felt hats. it is thought in
some quarters, will come in for big
portion of popularity next winter for
the reason that so many women have
gone into business and are dressing
either in uniform or in very business
like clothes. Really the only hats that
look well with these trig clothes are
those which are blocked, and, while not
exactly stiff, still have deal Of for
mality and dignity about them. A new
one was seen, in beaver felt, with q
high crown and narrow brim that
rolled at the back and tipped down
over the face at the front. 1t had a
single ornament of the same shade at
the left side front, and not even a
band around the crown. This hat would
have made lovely finish for blue
serge suit and Its wearing possibilities
would have been boundless.

When the snow flies it will be met
by such rich and adequate headwear
as appears in this group of winter
time hats. 1t is something of para
dox to call this season of brilliant
millinery when dominant colors are
quiet, with only two or three among
them that can be described as bright.
But along with cold weather come
metal brocades and fur. They are spar
angly used, but even SO carry the sug-
gestion that belongs to rich stuffs.
Millinery borrows splendor from
them.
But millinery deserves to be called
brilliant without consideration of the
colors favored by fashion. Shapes are
really wonderful, the most subtly art
Hui and the most becoming that can
be imagined. They are brilliant in
themselves and the craftsmanship Of
trimmers deserves the same adjective.
/ In the group there are four hats and
three of them are small or medium ;
one is large. But the small hat pre-
dominates in greater proportion
than three to one. Two of these mod
els are designed for street wear and
two are more formal but they are all
very wearable-that is, they can be
made to do much service. At the up

and Feed Them Accordingly.
cottonseed hulls proved to be good
sfattening ration for calves for short
feeding period.
When fed in conjunction with cot
tonseed meal, corn silage Of rather
poor quality produced the same daily
gains on calves as did cottonseed hulls
and cheapened the cost Of the daily
gains.
The substitution Of two-thirds Of the
cottonseed meal in q ration with corn
did not prove profitable when corn cost
20 cents bushel and cottonseed meal
1$26 ton.
In one test it was profitable to re-
place one-third Of the cottonseed meal
with corn-and-cob meal, but in sec
ond test nothing was gained by the in
PRODUCTION of corn-and-cob meal. The
first year the calves which received
corn-and-cob meal made slightly larger
daily gains and sold for more than did
the calves which received cottonseed
meal as the sole concentrate. The Sec
ond year the addition Of corn to the
ration did not increase the size Of the
daily gains, nor did the calves which
received corn sell for any more per
pound than the other calves.
In a third test SO high-grade Aber-
deen-Angus calves fed on ration Of
about three pounds of cottonseed meal,
two pounds of cowpea hay and as much
cottonseed hulls as they would eat
made daily gains at cost Of $5.55 per
hundred pounds and returned net
profit Of $3.50 each.
In a fourth experiment "a calves
which were fed for 112 days in the dry
lot and then fed SO days on pasture
made good daily gains, but the profits
were not as large as they would have
been if the calves had been sold at the
end of the winter. The gains made
during the summer were good and
We're made cheaply, but the price Of
calves was SO much lower in the sum
mer than at the close of winter that
the continued feeding into the summer
months was not profitable.
