Amsterdam, Netherlands, March r.
III 1t Is true to say that our industry
is twice as rich as it was before the war.
It Is equally true that our big banks

the years review of the German banking
position in the Frankfurter Zeitung, the
leading organ of German high finance.
According to the reviewer, 1917 was
year of amalgamations and extensions
in the German banking world Many
small private banks have been absorbed
by their bigger brethren and the latter
have branched out in the allied coun-

PROVEN SWAMP-ROOT
AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system in a rundown condi-
ton. The kidneys seem to suffer most,
as almost every victim complains of lame
back and urinary troubles which should
not be neglected, as these danger signals
often lead to more dangerous kidney
troubles.

many people say, soon heals and
strengthens the kidneys, is splendid

Year-Round Pasture Most Profitable.

The results show conclusively the val.
lie OF winter pasture when combined
with summer pasture. The total average
gain from fall to fall on these cattle was
$50 pounds, which was made at cost
at $03l per pound. The winter grazed
cattle did well on summer grass and on
the average were better cattle when fin.
ished in the fall than those wintered in
the barns.
The next most economical showing was
made by the cattle wintered on silage
stover, and hay, followed by grass in
summer. The average cost per pound
gain was 5000 for the total gain made
from fall to fall. This shows the val
ue of silage in wintering stocker cattle
The dry -wintered cattle which were
finished on grass alone the next sum
mer made an average gain of 344 pounds
per steer at an average of S0.4s per
pound, which was practically one cent
per pound more for the total gains made
than the silage wintered cattle.
The cattle wintered on silage, corn
slower, and hay and finished on grass
and cake made an average total gain
from fall to fall of 32S pounds at
cost of s0.065 per pound, whereas the
cattle wintered on the same ration but
finished on grass alone made their gains
at a cost of S0.03s per pound This shows
that the silage and grass combination
during winter and summer, respective
ly is the more satisfactory, considering
the cost of the gains.
