WHAT The VICTORY OR

hat the alarmists have said-the set
| lack of humanity, democracy, civiliza-
! Ion, rights of man, etc. But, to Amer
Ca, it would mean infinitely more.
1t would mean our first national de-
,eat; and, thus, would smash our per
tect record for victories-a record as
old as our national record that means
more than the right to brag. Even as

pion sinks at once into desuetude-so
our nation tits traditions of victory
..one) would suffer far worse deteriora-
ion than the mere fact of defeat could
inflict
It would mean that the man who has
risked all in his country's struggle for
Right could never again feel his former
ain certainty that Right must tri-
l:nph. Thus, the moral tone of the In
:iiyidual, as well as of the nation
would inevitably be lowered.
This country has never embarked IN
d, war of conquest. From 1775 to the
present we have fought for Liberty or
or Union or for the Oppressed-eVer
or some sterling principle of right
from childhood we have been taught
20 believe that the high unselhshness
Of our war aims has given us the vic
torv. We have seen the decay or de-
struction of men and nations that have
battled for dominion-as Germany is
now battling. Should we fail In this,
our mightiest war for the Right, the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to Its pres
ont estate. For that Faith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice Is
hundredfold justified.

cows FOR MACHINE MILKING
Farmers Should Study Herd From
Standpoint of Fitness-Avoid
Defective Udders.

tBy PROF. c. LARSEN, South Dakota
State College,
Dairy farmers who wish to use milk
ing machines should study their hero
from the standpoint of fitness for a
milking machine. The reason why
some men are successful with milking
machines and others are not can be
traced In part to the difference in COWS.
When the milking machine rs in
stalled the owner will have better sue
cess if he will Gull out the cows that
do not readily and completely give
down their milk, COWS with uneven I'D
der and placement of teats and cows
with very aeshy teats. Some herds
may not contain any defective COWS,
some may contain one or two and some
herds may contain several.
Cows with such defective udders and
teats should never be used as founda-
ton COWS. The heifsr calves from tho
cows that milk easily by machine
should be selected. 1t is especially i'm
portant to select herd bull that comes
from ancestors that have well-formed
mammary organs, and better still to
select Il proved herd bull that is known
to produce daughters of large, symmet-
rical and well-placed teats of good
quality.
