PREVENT DISEASE IN STOCK
Two Important PreVentiVes of Loss
Are Proper Feeding and Good
Sanitation.

Proper feeding and sanitation are
Two important preventives of dis

Keep the animals sturdy and disease

Comrades in war!

Comrades in war
Three years have passed since the
German emperor plunged the world
and his people into this most ground
less, senseless and impious OF all wars,
into a sen Of blood and tears.
Trimmed from childhood to be sol
der, brought up amid the perverted
views Of the junker and officer caste,
dreaming Of the laurelS of the con-
queror as the highest ideal, counseled
by generals, befrlended by war con-
tractors, and even with financial In
terest In their proflteering, he has since
1905 systematically paved the way for
the war. He desired this war, he per
mitted the systematic cult Of war In
Germany by the Pan-Germanists, and
he has encouraged 1t. He supported
and fomented the almost daily quar-
rels Of the other powers through the
Pan-German press by his infamma-
tory speeches. Last Of all he affixed his
signature to the various declarations of
war; he is fully and entirely RESPONSE
Bile for them.
For nine years the diplomacy Of our
neighhors, consistently anxious for
peace, succeeded in averting this dis
aster from the world. This was the
policy which was falsely presented to
your ignorance as the isolation
policy in reality, peace policy In
which Germany was always most
heartily invited to participate. Ger
many was not isolated, but the German
government, and In lts wake the Aus
trian government, deliberately and ma
liciousIy withdrew from the circle Of
civilized nations, as criminals from hui
man social circles.
But not only the diplomatic circles
of foreign states, but also German men
Of insight and lofty ideals have placed
themselves firmly in opposition to the
emperor's senseless and extravagant
lust for war, in spite of his wrath, and
have sacrificed their positions rather
than their convictions. This was true
in the case Of the president Of the
Reichsbank, Doctor Koch, and even of
the emperor's brother, Prince Henry Of
Prussia. On the 31st of July, 1914, he
urged the emperor to desist from the
war, and when he failed in his attempt
he flung at the emperor's feet his com
mission as grand admiral and COM
mander in chief of the German navy,

SIMPLE RATION FOR POULTRY
Mixture Of Half and Half Beef Scraps
and Wheat Bran Fed in Hoppers
Is Excellent.

A very good, but simple poultry ra-
ton is mixture of half and half beef
scraps and wheat bran fed in hoppers
and cracked corn given twice a day In
deep litter so that the fowls must
scratch it out. The wheat and the
scraps contain a great deal Of protein
or flesh-forming material, and the corn
supplies the carbohydrates or fat
forming elements. OF course. a eari-
ETY. of food is necessary to obtain the
best results.

FIELD PEAS IN BLOOM, SHOWING UNIFORMITY

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Powdery mildew Is usually most de-
structive on :Ote-planted or late-matur-
ing varieties of field peas. 1t Is also
confined rather closely to humid eli
mates, where it sometimes reduces the
yield considerably, The remedy for
this disease lies for the most part in
the rotation Of crops, but where only
small portions of a field are affected
the disease can be controlled by spray
ing with bordeaux mixture. If large
areas are affected 1t Is not economical
TO spray.
Leaf-Spot or Pea-BliCht.
Another disease which has been
troublesome In the pea-eanniHg dis
trlcts Of both Wisconsin and Ohio Is
the leaf-spOt or pea-blight. This dis
ease can be controlled in the same way
as pOwdery ntldew by spraying with
bordeaux mixture where the area af-
fected is small, but in large fields the
farmer must depend upon the rotation
Of crops. Although the disease is car
ried on the seeds, treatment of the seed
with insecticides or hot water Is not
effective, because the germ of the seed
is injured by the treatment more
quickly than are the spores of the fun
gus.
Pea WeeViI.
The pea weevil, the most serious In
sect enemy Of the field pea, is a small
graylsh or Drownish gray beetle,
marked with Eghter spots. The7lnsect
lays Its egg on the young pod and this
egg matches out and produces q larva
which bores through the wall of the
pod and enters the young pea, where
1t feeds on the growing embryo and
later pupates. The pupa remains in
the seed until the next season, usually
emerging from the pea the following
spring, but the behavior Of the weevlls
is unfortunately not uniform in this
respect, many of them coming out
sooner, so thar the dates of emergence
will range from harvest to planting
time the following year. One remedy
for the attacks of the weevil is to store

FACTS NOT GIVEN
TO GERMAN PEOPLE.

Up to the last moment England
even held out until noon of the 4th Of
August, 1914, when the German army
had already swept like a torrent over
the boundaries of the neighboring coun-
tries on every side) the rulers, minis
tiers and diplomats Of England, Russia,
France and Serbia did all that lay
within human power, even to the ut
most self-abnegation, In order to pre-
serve peace for the world. This fact
is clearly manifest; the documents con-
corning 1t set 1t forth In black and
white to the gaze of the world. They
are acknowledged as authentic by the
German government, but they are nat
urally withheld from the German peo-
pie. No one wished to attack US, either
then or at any later time. All that Aus-
tria could ask Of Serbia with even the
slightest semblance of justice was free
ly granted.
Thus from the very beginning of the
war the sympathy Of the entire world
belonged properly to our neighbors
who had been so wantonly attacked.
But it did not stop at sympathy; the
scoundrels who govern you and control
you, by the colossal atrocity of their
methods of warfare, by such brutality
as in itself to be menace to the whole
neutral world, by disregard of all es-
tabliShed treaties, managed step by
step to enrage all civilized humanity
to war against us.

let loose on the streets those whom he
attacked would defend themselves. All
peace loving men would hasten to their
rescue; only towards would stink tim
idly away. This is today the attitude
Of the world toward Germany. There
will be no peace, and Justly 60, until
the murderer lie imprisoned and shorn
Of hIs power to harm.
THIS MURDERER Is

ment; that is to say, the men whom he

A FALSE ARGUMENT.

It is argued by the liquor interests
that the license money derived from
the saloon Is Of great help In meet
ing the expenses of the state, thus
causing a reduction in the tax rate.

Reducing the Civil Force.

An appeal has been made to the
Secretary Of War that the reduction
of civilian forces should be effected
with the least possible hardship for
those who have come here from a dis
lance to occupy positions under the
government during its war emergency.
This is worthy Of consideration. he
government finds itself suddenly with
a congested pay roll. Several thou
sand more people are employed than
are now needed, with the armistice
signed and in effect and with peace in
early prospect. Many Of these work
ers have come recently, and to dismiss
them suddenly, with little warning,
would be unfair to them, entailing a
heavy expense. They should be given
at least a fortnight's warning, and if
it can be arranged their transportation
home should be provided.
These people, who have been drawn
here, virtually by order, from all over
the country, are entitled to considera-
ton. When they accepted service
they had every reason to expect en-
ployment during the winter, at least.
They cannot all be put upon the per-
manent roll. They should not be given
fixed places in preference to clerks
of longer tenure and greater expert
ence. But they should have the bene-
fit of little margin Of time to make
arrangements for their return, and
this, it is to be hoped, will become the
fixed rule until the force is restored
to normal proportions.

where has suffered more or less from
disloeations. Tariff revision every
where is on the card as a matter Of
necessity. In way, it is the principal
thing on our card.
The revision forced upon us, there
fore, is Of far greater scope than hith-
erto we have ever performed. Indeed,
neither the size nor the precise char
acter of it could today be forecast.
We aust first take a look around-sur-
vey The general field. And that will
be no easy matter, disturbed as every
thing now is in this country and else
where.
But today, as in 1909, the repub1i-
cans stand for the policy of protec-
ton. Whatever tariff revision is pro-
posed must be fashioned on that pol
icy. They have promised it; and the
people are expecting it. Rates and
schedules and general details Will de-
pend, of course, upon investigations
made, but the overshadowing purpose
Of all must be the protection of Amer
lean industries and the careful guard
ing of American wage scales.
It is most distinctly and emphatical-
ly a mans job the republicans will
soon take up; and on the way they
perform it will depend not only the
credit they will be asking in other
matters now, but the appeal they will
make two years hence for full control
Of the government.

Taft as a Base Ball Court.

Ex-President Taft has been asked
to serve as the supreme court of pro-
fessional base ball and has indicated
his willingness to act in that capacity
under certain conditions. From the
point of view of the national game no
better selection could possibly be
made and for the sake Of the sport,
which has suffered seriously in the
past from factional jealousies and the
lack of competent arbitrament in mat
tiers of dispute, it is to be hoped that
he will accept the position. He knows
and likes the game and he is assured

Business and Reconstruction.

The business interests of the United
oates are stirred, and are moving, in
the matter of reconstruction. Meet
ings of business men are discussing
the subject. All sections Of the coun-
try, and all lines of production and
handling and consumption, are con-
cerned, and showing concern. At the
annual convention of the Southern
Commercial Congress scheduled for
Baltimore early next month the. SUBJ
jeet will have a place on the card.
This is to be welcomed. Recon
struction is close at hand. That is to
say, reconstruction policies will soon
be taking shape. They. will be so large
and so, numerous, some years may be
required in carrying them out. And
from time to time other policies may
be added. The program will be a de-
veloping one, and will depend, Of
course, on the extent of the wars dis
locations and destructions-somet
that cannot now be assessed.
There will be business men in the
next Congress, and business men in
Congresses following, and they may
be depended upon to speak under
standingly and alphabetically on
matters relating to business. But they
may be very greatly assisted, as, in
deed, may all the legislators, by ex-
pressions Of business bodies presented
for their information and considera-
ton.
The opportunity should be fully i'm
proved. The general desire is for a
business America greater than ever be-
fore known. and great enough to take
q place in the front rank, if not in the
lead, of the great business nations Of
the world. World trade is a declared
national object. It is for that we
are building a merchant marine; and
it is partly for the purpose of pro-
tecting the merchant fleets that con-
tinuing large appropriations for the
Navy are asked, and on that account
are finding public favor.
Business has a better standing now
than formerly with Congress. 1t ac-
quilted itself admirably during the
war. It's leading Representatives
captains-ohered their services to the
government, and were assigned to in
dispensable work behind tie firing
lines; and what they did and. how they
did it make most praiseworthy chap
ter in war history.
For these reasons suggestions from
business bodies about those features
Of reconstruction having to do with
business problems will be sure of re-
spectful attention.

American as Mr.. Taft can be secured
to act as joint counsel and arbiter the
result cannot fail to be to the adj
vantage Of the public as we'll IS the
game itself. Base ball is assured Of
a prosperous revival when peace has
been established provided the game is
restored to public confidence and the
frictions that have created scandals
and have bred the Chase ball politi-
clan" are allayed. If Mr.. Taft can &C.
complish these results he viii have
rendered the country service, and
he will meanwhile be free for the pur-
suit Of other useful activities along
the lines of his eminent qualifications.

The Republican Factionism.

The republicans are again troubled
With factionism. Again the tariff is
the cause. As yet, the cloud is no big
ger than a mans hand. But it should
be attended to, for, should it grow,
it may soon overspread the sky and
produce disaster. -...... -....
The factionism Of 1909 contains mat
fer worthy of study today. That also
grew out of the tariff. Had it been
taken in time and in the right spirit,
the differences might have been COM
posed within the party. But it was
permitted to remain out of hand; and
the next year in the congressional
elections the republicans lost the
House.
The tariff question now is much
larger and more difficult than then.
Then the question embraced no more
than the revision Of tariff law which
the republicans had themselves placed
rpon the books. It had proved Q great
success-so great success, indeed,
that revision had become necessary to
cover the success. The new and i'm
proved conditions called for q new law.
The world was at peace, and every
thing normal.
Now, everything Is abnormal. The
world has just emerged from four
years Of war unprecedented for sizs and
C,struetivcncss. An business every
