PATRIOTS, BEHIND THE LINES
BY BARNETTA BROWN
of the Viuilantea.

These patriots are way, way behind
the lines. They live in Brooklyn, and
not only in Brooklyn, but far in the
rear of Brooklyn, where the last end
of subway is coming to conclusion.
These patriots may be called alien pa
triots, for many Of them have not been
here long. They are small patriots,
for the eldest is only about ten. Their
mothers keep the homes, and their
fathers dig the peaceful trenches for
the subway. So they are not very
well-to-do patriots. In fact, they are
quite otherwise; they are poor In ev-
erything but patriotism. In that they
are very rich. They are full of 1t,
crammed in, pressed down and run
ming over, as you will agree. 1t bub-
bled so, inside of them, that they had
to put 1t into expression, somehow.
But how? They had just nothing to
express with. No pennies to make a
fund to send somewhere; no pennies
to buy tobacco for the soldiers pipes;
no pennies to buy worsted to knit
with. What should they do?
they stood one day, discussing ways
and means, or rather, the utter lack
Of them, till at last the situation was
cleared by one determined little mite.
She took OF one of her mittens. say
ing:
81 can change the other one round.
Anyhow you can't knit with mittens
on"
Five or six pairs Of childish eyes
watched her eagerly, as she COM
menced to unravel her mitten.
go get me some skewers, Johnny"
Johnny flew, and soon returned with
several. The nearest butcher had been
kind.
I'm going to knit" the small girl
announced. I'm going to knit squares
for blankets, for those Belgian ba-
bies."
The idea caught at once. Such
scurrying as there was! Mothers were
pleaded with; odd corners were
searched; even ash barrels were in
vestigated. From unsupported quar-
tiers old tams, old scarfs. old shawls,
old stockings, old mittens, were
brought forth. All things that could
be spared, and some that could not.
but everything that could be gotten
hold of that would unravel was I'M
earthed; and the work began, and
went on. The children knitted with
skewers, with pieces of steel, with any
thing that would hold stitch and
connect 1t with another.
And so we found them one day, sit
ting all huddled together on the stoop
of one of the tenements; all knitting
with the crinkly wool, the little
squares. 1t was picture of child
life not easily forgotten. and we
watched, and thought; and as we
turned away, we knew that our hearts
would always be more soft and kind.
because we had seen this little group
of little patriots, knitting their little
squares, to cover the little cold babies
of Belgium.

PREPARE PASTURE FOR cows
Good Feeding and Protection From
Storms Are Of Utmost Importance
Cool Milk Quickly.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Nothing is gained by turning dairy
cows into stalk fields or on to pasture
during the early spring months. Pro-
lection from storms and good feeding
are of the utmost importance IL the
cows are to be kept from losing flesh
or from falling off in milk. Much
damage will be done also to pastures
If they are tramped and cut up while
they are wet and before the grasses
have gotten well started.
A small patch of sorghum should be
planted in rich spot near the barn
or pasture as a safeguard against a
shortage of pasture i'm the early sum-

Demand for Better Dairy Cattle.

ner, due to drought. Plan to plant a
large enough acreage of corn or sor-
ghum to fill silo. If planted early
the silo can be filed early, in readiness
for use during the early fall, when the
pasture may be short.
Now that the warm days are here
every farm should arrange so that
milk can be cooled as soon as drawn
from the COW, unless the cream Is to
be separated with separator. Cream,
as soon as separated or skinned,
should be cooled and kept cool until
churned. Quick cooling of the milk
insures more rapid and more COM
plete rising of the cream. Cream kept
properly cooled remains sweet and
produces q better grade Of butter.

A PRAYER
BY JAMES w. WISE
Of the ViQilantes.

Oh God of right, to thee today
We raise in awe our fervent prayer:
Grant victory unto the men
Who fight for freedom over there.
We do not ask victor's prize,
But power to stay the cruel hand
or Prussian tyranny and greed.
And to avenge a plundered land.
Today we seek thee in the fight.
Thy mighty arm of wrath made bare:
Lord God of hosts. thy cause redeem
And right the wrong!-This is ou
prayer.

CONSERVE SUPPLY OF FEED
Greatest Economy In Feeding Grain
During War Should Be Prac-
ticed by Dairymen.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
National necessity during the war re-
quires the greatest economy in the
feeding of grain to live stock. Human
ductiOn must be maintained. That
does not mean that our dairy cows
should be starved or even that they
should be required to live on half ra-
tons. This Is the very time they should
be fed, and well fed, in order to main
tain sufficient supplies of dairy prod
ucts for our own armies and the armies
of our allies, and still have enough for
our civilian population. In order to
feed the dairy herds well, with the min
lmum of grain, substitutes must be fur
nished for at least part Of the grain.
With a good pasture during the entire
summer and with rich corn silage and
first-class legume hay for winter feed
ing, good dairy cows will yield heavy
flow of milk at minimum of cost.
Glover, alfalfa, cowpea, soy bean, velvet
bean or other legume hay, when fed
with good silage, will maintain a me-
dunn production of milk at relatively
tons 1t Is not to be expected that
legume hay will take the place of the
entire grain ration, but If 1t Is substi-
tuted in part, large quantities of grain
will be released for human food.
The first step in bringing this condi-
ton about must be the planting of more
egumes, and the sooner 1t is done the
better 1t will be for the individual
dairyman, as well as for his state and
nation. Every dairy farm should pro-
duce, when possible, at least one ton
Of legume hay for each cow on the
place. ~ II
Fruits and green vegetables are
canned so as to supply succulent and
palatable foods for the family during
the winter. Succulence is just as es-
sential to cows as to human being.
The abundant milk flow obtained from
June pasturage probably is due, to
large extent, to the succulence of the
grass. SiIage provides succulent feed
Turing winter when pasturage is not
available. With silage in the ration,
dairy cattle can be kept in the cOndi-
lion of health common to animals on
pasture. The digestive system Of
cow is well suited for the utilization
Of large quantities Of green grasses
and other coarse, succulent material.
Silage is palatable, and no other feed
will combine SO well with dry hay and
little grain to produce maximum eco
nomical results.
The preservation Of the mature corn
crop or the saving of one which for
any reason must be harvested before
maturity by placing 1t In silos is de-
servedly increasing in popularity.
About 40 per cent of the total food ma
terial in the corn plant is in the stalks
and leaves. When only the ears are
harvested nearly one-half of the crop
Is lost; on the other hand, when the
crop is put into the silo the losses are
very small.
No feed crops can be so successfully
harvested under such widely varying
conditions as those that are put into
the slo. Only in case of drought or
frost is it necessary to rush the filling
of the silo; rain or dew on the forage
does not injure the silage.
