CONGRESS is debating the
changing of the draft age. Sever.
al bills have been introduced, one
of which would place the ages
from Is to As. The present ten
tative schedule of the War de-
partment is said to contemplate
the arming of 100000 men by
next January 1st. This would
mean the calling of 100000 men
between July and January and
the absorbing of not only the men
remaining in class one from the
first registration, but those placed
in class one under the recent
registration, as we'll as some 200.
600 expected to be put in that
class as the result of the reclassi.
fication recently ordered.

7O7 casualties among theAmeri-

| 1UI c1SualtleS among tneAmeIi-
can expeditionary forces during
the week ending June 10th
brought the total casualties OF
our forces in France to 8N5.
Withmore than 100000 soldiers
sent overseas, officials pointed to
the small number, POI, lost
/! through operations of German
submarines as showing the eff
! fectiveness of the convoy system.
The men lost were on the
torpedoed British steamers Tus-
cania and Moldavia. The former
was taking troops from America
to England and the latter from
England to France.
The comparatively small num-
Der of men dying from wounds
is pointed to as indicating the
efficiency of the ambulance and
hospital systems, while the fact
that only 1894 men have died of
diseases is accepted as proof OF
! the excellent physical condition
of Americas fighting men.
Another satisfying considera-
ton is that of the wounded men;
a very hight percentage return
to duty at the front in less than
six weeks.

THosE Republicans who harp
upon President Wilson's "parti-
sanship" should take cognizarce
of what has just happened in
Michigan. Henry Ford is a
straight Republican, but a pat
riot whom President Wilson be-
lieves is needed in the United
States Senate and so he has urged
the Democrats of that State to
endorse Mr.. Ford and not to
name man against him. This
is but another instance of the
"partisanship" of the Wilson Ad-
ministration, but his action will
hardly be given much publicity
among Republican papers in
North Carolina.

THE Post-Dispatch is this
week in receipt of a copy of The

Washington, of date of June LIST,
1918, in which appears on the
front page as its leader a four
column article from the pen of
DIR. Kemp P. Battle, giving his
reasons why he is opposed to
woman's suffrage. DR.. Battle
feels that it would revolutionize
our government as formed in
1887. Women, says he, can get
any grievance remedied by petit
ton to the legislature. If hus,
bands, brothers, fathers, lovers,
neighbors, will not heed their
petitions, then manhood suffrage
has failed.

The giant IS awake at last.

+ IT q
has taken a year of sustained
effort, and the mobilizing of an
army Of close to two million
men, before we awoke from our
slumber, but we are wide awake
at last, and doing things with a
big D.
Government departments are
running smoothly, and the great
machinery of war is at last forg-
ing ahead. Huge stores of sup
plies of every conceivable de-
scription are being rushed across
the Atlantic; army after army is
being trained and dispatched,
until the American forces and
equipment on the other side are
fast attracting the attention of
the world.
The Kaiser's boast to Mr.. Ger
ard, that he had 100000 German
reservists in this country, and
ready to take up arms at his
word of command, has the ring
of a huge joke. If they are here,
they at least know how to pre-
serve whole skins.
We have hit our stride at last,
and now let's keep it up till COM
plete victory is ours. Kaiserdom,
with its attendant train of evils,
must perish from the earth.
And let us not for one moment
forget that America is the decid-
ing factor in the war.
And let us not lose sight of
the fact that it is up to ourSP PEG
PIE to supply the finances for
the war. Money in steadily in
creasing quantities is needed.
Right now the county is in the
midst of War Savings campaign.
Uncle Sam is giving us the OPP
portunity to really save, and at
the same time be a powerful
help to him financially. tits the
purpose to raise by pledges, the
full amount of War Savings
Stamps during the ensuing week.
This is not giving; it is not pull
ling chunks Of money out of your
business; it is not asking you to
subscribe a large amount as in
the case of Liberty Loan bond
issues. The government simply
asks us to SAVE to the straining
point-and by so saving, lend the
government the surplus of the
nation. Meet the canvassers
next week gladly and pledge
yourself to buy as many Stamps
between now and next Dec. 31st
as you possibly can. And really,
you know, this is a mighty little
thing the government is asking
of us after all. Simply to save.
Do your best in this matter-for
YOU alone know what the best is,

MOST ECONOMICAL OF FEEDS
Better Use of Cheap Roughage or Farm By-Products Should Be
 Practice of Stockmen.

FTom the United States Department of
 Agricultural
 Stockmen should make better use of cheap roughage or farm by-products, such as cornstalks or straw in winter ing beef cows, is the opinion of spe- cialists of the United States depart ment of agriculture after making a survey of nearly 800 stock farms in the corn belt. The records which they obtained show that there is no fixed rule that should govern the quality or the kind of feeds used except that the ration should be adequate and eco- nomical.
 Whether the coarse feeds of the ra- ton shall be composed mostly of hay. fodder, silage, or grain, will depend or dinarily on local and seasonal condi- ticns.
 In years when there is serious shortage of corn, farmers will find 1t necessary greatly to reduce the quan- tity of the corn that ordinarily Is fed as grain or fodder or silage. That this can be done under many circumstances is evident from study of the rec o1ds. They show that ration which does not contain corn fodder either as grain or in fodder or Silage can be fed without any detriment whatever to the cows or their offspring. There were 149 of the farms studied feeding such rations. the majority of them in Kan sas and Nebraska, and they produced as good calves as the farms feeding corn. The winter feed bill on these farms was S13.10 per COW. as against an average of $166O for those using grain. fodder, or silage, showing saw ing of $35O per head due to elimina ton of corn.
 The use of such grainless ration, which on these farms consisted solely of hay and cheap roughage, is, of course. not always possible or practi- cable. If this type of ration is to be economical, there must be an abund- ance of cheap hay to combine with the rough feeds: or, if the bulk of the ra- ton consists of cheap roughage, which, unless there Is some winter pasture, Is largely composed of carbohydrates, there should be sufficient amount of leguminous hay. such as alfalfa or clover to supply the protein needs e the animal. In localities where there Is shortage of hay but where large quantities of cheap roughage, such as corn stover. straw, or damaged hay, is available. this cheap roughage often can be made to serve as the greater part of the ration by supplementing 1t with a small amount of some concen- trate high in protein, such as cotton seed meal. The farmers in that DOT tion of the corn belt lying west of the Missouri river, where alfalfa is grown abundantly, nearly always can plan an adequate ration without corn.
 The fact that the 149 farms using the cheaper ration were not feeding
The spectator., 1918-11-12

corn does not Imply that it should never be used, for there are farms where 1t is necessary to feed moderate amount Of grain. This is particularly true of cattiemen who are conducting pure bred business and who advertise their stock by exhibiting at the various 1.-Two stock shows. The results of this study taken that no unnecessary quantities of corn are fed.
 There are 154 farms (not quite one third of those studied) on which corn was fed to the breeding herd for at least part of the winter. The average winter feed bill for these farms was $17.10 per head, as against S14.S0 for the cows receiving no grain. There were 5S of these farms where less than 10 per cent of the ration was composed of grain and where the cows received an average of ? bushels of corn and 15 pounds of cottonseed meal per head during the winter. AS 42 per cent of this winter ration con- sisted of cheap roughage and as the amount of feed used was not excessive, the cows were carried through the winter at an average cost of f1460. or 0 cents day. In the herds where grain constituted more than 10 per cent of the ration. the cows re- tetved an average of from 6 to IS bushels of corn. much of which was unnecessary. The average cost of feed for wintering these cows ranged from $17.50 to more than $20 head.
 Probably one of the largest wastes of corn occurs in the feeding of un- husked corn fodder. which Is exten- sIvely fed in sections where corn Is tho leading crop and where hay is scarce
