A Farm Made To Pay.

For ten years a 500-acre farm in
central Michigan failed to pay inter
est on the capital invested. One year
after the owners had been induced to
make certain radical changes the
farm payed all expenses of operation
and returned them five per cent on an
investment of $50, 900. These changes
were:
Substitution of four-horse for two
horse machinery; Substitution of bet
ter stock for Improbable cows in the
dairy herd; adoption of the silo plan /;
allowance to the foreman, in addition
to his salary. of 10 per cent of the net
income of the farm.
Expences of operating the farm,
but not the interest on the capital,
were deducted from the income be-
fore the foreman received his per-
centage. The owners yielded to the
plan when they found that for every
dollar the foreman got under such ar
rangement they would receive nine.

WHZMPERMCS

There are some people-to the credit
of America and Americans, there are
mot many of them-who are beginning
to say: We'll. the Allies have the
Germans on the run, and we won't
need TO get into the army or raise so
much money for Liberty Loans"
These are the same whimpering
souls who were ready to admit that
the Allies were whipped last April,
May and June. when the Germans were
smashing away trying to get to Paris.
They are willing TO do anything that
will ease some OF the strain that war
Is putting on them and the rest OF the
country. They are willing to admit
defeat II IL will make things a little
easier for them for a short time.
They are willing to let the Germans
escape punishment if it will keep them
from having to dig up for another Lib
erty Bond. They are whimperers and
cutters, seekers of the softest and
easiest way. They would let the Ger
mans propose an armistice, propose
most any kind of a peace that the
Huns wanted.
They have forgotten. or do not care
anything about the crimes of the kai,
serites. They are sort of human
jellyfish, but for the good of America
they are outnumbered by the Ameri.
cans, the real Americans who want 10
finish this job and finish it right away.
They may as well make up their minds
that the great majority are going to
see this thing through.

The hog raiser whether he has
or 200 pigs, who provides pasture for
them whenever possible is the .one
who makes the production of pork
most profitable.
The raising of rapid-growing, hea-
wy yielding forage crops, such as soy
beans, COW peas, clover, etc, to be
fed green to live stock instead of de-
pending upon the ordinary pasture
crops has long been advocated by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Hogging down such crops
has been practiced most successfully
by experienced hog raisers, who find
that this method, aside from reduc-
ing the cost of producing pork, also
reduces the labor materially. When
hogs are permitted to harvest these
crops for themselves repeated de-
monstrations have shown that there
is no waste, which is an objection
that is, often raised by those who have
not tried the plan.

Indiana County Attacks Rats.

Morgan County, Ind, had more
rats and mice than il wanted, so II
planned a rat week." The purpose
was to start a concerted attack on the
rats and mice in the week previous to
the storing of grain. The county agent
advertised in the papers and enlisted
the mem bers of the United States
Boys Working Reserve. Reports are
incomplete but the county agent be-
lieves the number of rats had been
greatly reduced and consequently a
large quantity of grain has been saw
ed. One boy reported that he killed
81 rats and 1913 mice. Another killed

Begin Feeding Silage Now.

Much feed is wasted by failure to
finish packing the silo properly after
filling. The top should be .evcled off
tramped thoroughly, and then wei!
soaked. A layer of dry stalks run
through the cutter will also help to
keep the top of the silage from spoil

mence feeding silage as soon as filling
is completed,in which case there is no
waste. If that is done the tendency of
cows to lessen milk production be-
cause of scanty feed is checked. Don't

AMERICAN MOBILITY
BREAKS SPEED LIMIT
AND SAVES THE DAY
Fourth Liberty Loan Drive to Smash
Another Record for Quick
Results.

Although the sheer weight of Amer.
ica's millions of troops will be suffi-
cient to crush the Hun back OF the
Rhine and batter down upon the
Kaiser's ears the remnants of the
world crown he thought to wear, II has
not been numbers. but typical Ameri
can mobility, which has saved the day
for the Entente thus far.
Wilhelm and the German general
staff. admitting the gigantic resources
OF the United States, made the error
of calculating in years instead OF
weeks the time necessary for the shap-
ing of those resources for war pur
poses.

When the German masses, released
from all Eastern fronts, began their
ominous drive through Picardy, Ameri.
can troops, months in advance even OF
the hurry-up American program, began
to pour through the channel gateways,
and the Hun was held, then driven
back.
Thus American ability to concen-
trate quickly its war efforts on any
given point on the enemy line has
fooled every Hun attempt, whether by

Now the Fourth Loan.
A really great demonstration OF this
American faculty will be given in the
Fourth Liberty Loan. Confronted with
the necessity of raising war loan of
twice the size of any of its epoch-mak-
ing predecessors. we are called upon
to finish the task in three weeks.
Only by the full and united effort of
every man, woman and child in the
United States can this great task be
completed in the time set 1t is as GER
tain that il will be completed success
fully as that the grim courage of Amer
lea on French battlefields will continue
