TO REFIT ARMIES FOR INDUSTRY

tai for agriculture after the war. These
holdings, he says, should be large
enough to enable the settler to grow
sufficient cereals and potatoes for him
self and family and to keep one or two
cows.
AS for the Independent artisans in
class three, it would be for the inter-
ests Of every community to do its ut
most to attract labor to the land In its
immediate vicinity.
Under class four, which would be
providing for peasant holdings, the dis
trict authorities and the provincial set
tlement companies would have it to
deal with. These settlers would be
those who could command adequate
agricultural knowledge, those who be-
fore the war were tenant farmers,
farm agents, or belonged to the more
efficient class Of farm laborers.

first period after the war it will be

establishment of individual settlements

buildings will be cheaper. It will not
be necessary to undertake road making
and drainage operations on a large
scale. This character Of settlement,
he believes, would induce soldiers to
settle near their old homes, where, as
they are known, assistance will be
more readily given to them.
Funds From War Profits.
AS to the capital that will be neces-
sary to establish such communal set
Elements, the writer suggests that
about 10 per cent of all war profits
which after the payment of taxes ex-
ceed 10000 marks ought to be lent on

rate Of 3 to 31a per cent.
Another article dealing with condi-
tions in Germany after the war, but on
entirely different lines from the pen of
9. D. Stelling, considers the extent in
which revolutionary ideas permeate the
German army and what may be the
outcome. The writer says:
1.-THE fuel of revolt is being heaped
up to await the torch that will set it
afiame. Competent observers foretell
that revolution will inevitably follow
the conclusion of the war. The
drugged and brutalized proletariat is
waking from it's trance. With organi-
zation and leadership the torpid Ger
man people will at last turn against
the false gods it has been worshipping
and dash them to the ground"

MARKETING BUTTER AND
CHEESE BY PARCEL POST

Creameries, dairies and individual
farms, In various instances which
have been authenticated by the bureau
Of markets of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, have devel-
oped a successful system Of parcel
post marketing for butter and cheese.
The conclusion reached by specialists
of the department as a result OF a
number Of experimental shipments Is
that well-made butter, thoroughly
chilled before shipping, may be mar
keted successfully by parcel post
when packed in suitable container
and where extremely high tempera-
lures are not encountered. Shipments

quently are unsatisfactory.
The bureau Of markets received 464
shipments of butter, coming distances
Of from 1877 to 536 miles, during vari-
Gus months of the year. OF these
shipments 44O, or 900 per cent, were
received In satisfactory condition. The
bureau reshipped this butter to vari-
GUS state experiment stations and the
shipments arrived in good condition
where the temperature and distance
were not too great. In general. ship
ments from Washington were success
full when forwarded as far north as
Maine and as far west as Michigan
and Indiana. Shipments into the
South were successful shorter dis
tances.
Farmers Bulletin $50, Marketing
Butter and Cheese by Parcel Post"
issued by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, gives detailed ad-
vice on methods which have been
found advantageous. The bulletin
urges that every care and precaution
be exercised in making the butter and
preparing it for shipment. The ship
ping container should properly pro-
tect the butter, and packages should
be posted as near to mail time as
possible in order to obtain delivery In
the quickest practicable time.
The postal regulations provide that
when butter is so packed or wrapped
as to prevent damage to other mail
it will be accepted for delivery either
at the Office Of mailing or on any
rural route starting therefrom. But
ter will also be accepted for mailing
to all offices to which, in the ordinary
course of mail, it can be sent with
out spelling when suitably wrapped or
inclosed or when packed in crates

The German kept trying to creep out
on the steamers port side, but the
master checkmated him each time and
continued to keep him dead astern.
When the sun began to set the Ger

steamers gunners would have to fire
into the eye Of the sun. But the
master prevented him from getting the
benefit of such a position until the
sun was obscured by clouds.
Throughout the engagement, which
lasted six hours, the German managed
to score only one hit. This shell
broke the steamers deck surface pipe,
punched a hole through the boat

British Cabinet Already Has Plan
of Work for Soldiers
After War.
GERMANY ALSO PREPARING
Colonization on Farms, Carefully
Worked Out by an Expert, Liable
to Be Upset by Revolt Of
the ProIetariat.

London.-The British government Is
now at work considering how the great
task Of demobilizing the army and the
resettlement Of the soldiers into civil
occupations at the conclusion of the
war Is to be accomplished. The plan
drawn up by the minister Of labor Is
receiving careful attention, and it is
understood considerable progress has
been made.
Germany also is giving this subject
her attention and the series Of articles
by Herr Utsch in the Deutsche Land
wirtschaftliche Presse considers the
proposed settlement on the land Of SOL
diers returning from the war.
Herr Utsch begins by pointing out
that it is national duty to provide the
disabled or injured soldier not only
with an adequate pension but with suit
able employment which will enable him
to support himself and his family in
sufficient comfort. In providing such
employment, he says, due regard must
be paid to the wishes and the capacity
of the individual, and no better means
for effecting this can be found than
home colonization, for in no other do
main are the possibilities so great,
since vast tracts of waste land still ex-
list in Germany waiting to be opened
up and the returning soldier cherishes
no dearer wish than to have home Of
his own.
Sees Added Wealth.
At the same time, says Herr Utsch,
the interests of the country will be
served, since every fresh small colony
increases the national wealth and
makes it more independent Of foreign
countries in the production of food. He
sees a further advantage in attracting
labor to rural districts.
The writer divides the nature of the
employment of the settlers as follows:
Settlements for men employed in in
dustries or factories.
Holdings for agricultural laborers.
Holdings for independent artisans.
Small holdings with land attached
up to 60 acres or more.

Department of Agriculture Urges
More Liberal Use of Product
to Save Meat.
IT ExCELS ALL Other FOODS
There Are Always Sick Children In All
Localities Where Milk ls Scarce
Excellent for Body Build
Ina Protein.

MILK 1S the nearest approach TO q
perfect human food, and it Is by far
the best food for children. Children
must have milk in order to develop
properly, and all persons of whatever
age need it in order to keep in prop
er cOnditin.
The advice of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture is: "Save on
other things If you can, but not on
milk, your child's best food"
Children who do not get milk, but
are given tea and coffee instead, are
for the most part sickly. There are
always many sick children in cities
and in countries where milk is scarce.
When prices go up and mothers begin
to economize on milk, more children
become sick. That is one Of the
things that, under any and every con-
dition, the government regards it as
essential to guard against. Food
must be saved to feed the army and
money must be saved to finance the
war, but the nations children who in
q little while will be the nations men
and women must be given their OppOr-
tun!ty for health and strength. Incl
dentally, the liberal use Of milk does
save meat and other transportable
foods.
Needed for Bones and Teeth.
Children, in larger measure than
grown persons, require lime. It is
needed, particularly. for their bones
and teeth, and in smaller quantities
for their blood and other parts Of
their bodies. Milk is the chief food
for lime. A cup Of milk contains ap-
proximately four times as much lime
as an egg. It is the cheapest food for
lime.
Milk is also an excellent food for
bodybuilding protein. In that respect
it is like eggs and meat. Milk pro-
tein is especially good for children,
but it is good for and should be used
by everybody.
Milk, in addition, is an excellent
fuel food. Children, who are much
more active than adults, need more
fuel to burn in their bodies to help
them run and play and work. The
fat and the milk sugar burn up as
fuel. A quart of milk gives the same
amount of fuel as pound Of lean
meat. A quart of milk gives the same
amount of fuel as eight eggs. Milk,
even at advanced cost, is the cheap
est fuel food. Take your pencil and
make q little comparison in cents.
Skim Milk Also Good.
Whole milk, Of course, is the best
food. But skim milk is good food,
too. 1t has the lime, the sugar and the
protein Of the whole milk. 1t Is de-
ficient in fat and has not much Of the
growth substances as has whole milk.
Use whole milk-but do not throw
away the skim milk.
Every child, big or little, should
have plenty of milk. The big boys and
girls need it only slightly less than do
the babies, and grown persons need
1t only slightly less than the big boys
and girls.
Be liberal with the milk ration. Do
not think of milk merely as refresh
ing drink. Think of it as a good,
nouriShing food-the best food. The
children need other foods, Of course
vegetables, fruits, cereals. But, most
Of all, they need milk.
