Especially in those sections where al
falfa is the leading field crop, which is
the case in many parts of the West,
the production of maximum quantities
of cheese and butter is highly desir-
able under present conditions.
Pork.-The hog is by far the most
efficient of domestic animals in con-
verting grain into meat. The prod

as when fed to any other farm ami
NAL. Even these animals can be kept
with relatively small expenditures of
grain by making liberal use of such
forage crops as alfalfa, clover, soy
beans, rape, and various other kinds of
pasture. A great gain also can be
made by marketing hogs at lower
weights than customary. Gains made
below 200 pounds require much less
grain than those above this weight.
Hogs are also valuable means of
disposing of many kinds of waste on
the farm, such as kitchen refuse, skim
milk, whey, and defective fruits, vege-
tables, and grains.
The fact that colored laborers in
the cotton fields of the South live
largely on cornmeal and pork prod
ucts Is Of interest. The economic
conditions of their existence require
the greatest possible economy in food
consumption. They have been driven
by force of circumstances to subsist
mainly on the crop producing the larg-
est amount of human food per
acre, and for the sake Of diet, the most
efficient food-producing animal avail.
able to them.
Other AnImals-Figures show that
beef cattle, sheep, and poultry produce
comparatively small quantities Of hu.
man food from given area of land.
Cattle and sheep can be maintained
largely on cornstalks, straw, defec.
tive or otherwise cheap hay, waste.
land pastures, weeds, and the like.
These animals should be kept at least
in sufficient quantity to prevent waste
of such materials.
Although poultry produces relative
ly little human food from a given
area of land, small number Of fowls
can be maintained on farm wastes
more largely than is the case with any
other farm animal. They consume
scraps from the kitchen, waste grain
about the feed lots, weeds, insects,
etc. A sufficient number of them
should be kept on every farm to utilize
all such materials to the fullest pos
silsle extent.

DER TAG"

A year ago / went to Poland
to learn its facts concerning the
remnant of a people decimated
by the war. Along the road
side from Warsaw to Pinsk, the
present firing line, 230 miles,
near a million people had died Of
cold and hunger. SO. Wicker
baskets were scattered along the
way-the basket in which the
baby swings in every peasant
home. Every mile there were
scores Of them, each one telling a
death. / started to count, but af-
ter a little while / had to give it
up-there were so many.
A little wicker basket
Swung from a blackened raj.
ter
Within a Polish peasant home
Of work, and love and laughter
And in the basket cooed and
smiled
A rosy, happy little child.
The hands the swung the basket
Were neither white nor
slender;
Hardened and rough with daily
toll,
They still were very tender.
The empty basket on the plain
Lies sodden now beneath the
rain.
Thru every broken basket
The winter winds are signing,
And in the night come erie
sounds
Like little children crying.
So weak-and yet their wailing
cry
Reaches beyond the starry sky
Above those empty baskets
There stands in vast array
The angels Of those little ones,
And swords Of wrath are they.
The God Of vengeance shall repay
The Hun when comes, at last,
His day!
Ellis Meredith.

NEBRAsKA'S BATTLE HYMN

The war has been productive
of a lot of poetry, near-poetry
parodies and other verse. BY thu
time our boys come marching
home it is probable that every
unit of the army will have it,
own individual battle song. The
boys from the state Of Nebraska
have taken the Battle Hymn OF
the Republic and remodelled it te
their liking. 1t is not improbable
that the song will find favor with
boys from other states, as the
tune is familiar to all and the
words can be made to belong to
America as well as to Nebraska
The song follows:
We have heard the Nation calling fol
defenders Of the right,
And Nebraska answers gladly to op.
pose the hosts of might;
She will give her sons by thousands
for their God and homes to fight
Nebraska's marching on.
They go to fight the battles of people
sore oppressed,
Whose homes shall be restored at
last, whose wrongs shall be re-
dressed
In battle lines for Liberty from out
the Golden West,
Our boys are marching on.
While tears our eyes are dimming, for
the boys we bid goodbye
And we wish Gods blessing on them
as they spring to meet the cry
OF hundred million people who shall
watch them do or die,
As they go marching on.
Come cheer our brave Nebraska boys
to victory today,
They're fighting for our country in
the thickest Of the fray,
Come help to tighten burdens, and to
speed them on the way,
AS they go marching on.
They are marching down the valley of
the Sambre and the Seine;
Our heroes brave who rally from the
prairie and the plain;
They are standing in the trenches in
the shrapnel hail and rain
For the Cause that marches on.
They are fighting meath banner that
has never known defeat;
They are list'ning to the trumpets
that have never blown retreat,
God has filled their souls with ardor
and made jubilant their feet
Nebraska's marching on.
