Peace Talk on Tap.

Almost the moment the Somme bat

to publish peace items. They have
increased in number and size since
then.
Following Brantings return to
Stockholm, after attending the social

Germany's representative there. From

Karl Not to Be Ignored.

Young Emperor Karl. who wants
peace in the worst way, is attending
the conference. Before he leaves 1T
is likely he will have promised Ger.
many help in the west. in return for
which the kaiser and the militarists
will agree to attempt another peace
drive.
Germany will get Austrian men and
guns. Karl will get what satisfaction
he can out of a, German fnilitarist
peace drive.
Because Foch happens to have the
initiative and the war kaleidoscope
presents a pretty picture for allied
eyes, there is no proof that the Ger
man militarists are ready to quit.
Whatever faults German militarists
have. they cannot be charged with
faint-heartedness. The allies can have

New Orleans last Sunday to enlist in
the Naval Reserve, as 80 many of the
country are doing, all eager and anx

The first two of the Sung men

and were accepted for the Reserve
whilst the third, young Schelie, was
turned down, not because of any ply
steal disabilities, but because of the

The two successful candidates were

now are, and have fully entered upon
the duties assigned to them there.

MORE IMPROVED LIVE STOCK
High Prices klaks 1t Profitable for
Farmer to Produce His Own Ami
mails for Feeding.

The recent rapid rise in the price
paid for all kinds of live stock is max
ing it more and more profitable for
the average farmer to produce his own
young stock for feeding rather than
to buy the high-priced product of the
plains for this purpose. Conditions in
America today are more nearly like
those prevailing in European countries
in regard to live stock than they have
ever been for an extended period in
the history of our country.
If the present conditions remain as
they are for a few more years there
will be noticed Il rapid improvement
of the farm herds and fiocks. Former
ly the range was large enough to crowd
out the competition of the cornbelt
meat producer. Then the range began
to produce only feeders and today the
cornbelt farmer is rapidly taking over
this phase of the cattle business as the
range is becoming smaller and smaller
and is more and more unable to supply
the demand for beef.

the front legs resulting from their
striking the ground are considerably
relieved by slOping shoulders, while
straight shoulders, by not having this
effect, tend to promote early unsound-
ness of these limbs.
Strong constitution, endurance, good
front action, and style are associated
with deep, well-sloped shoulders. For
draft purposes the shoulders should
have pronounced offsets, so that the
face of the collar will have plenty of
bearing surface. The position of the
collar on shoulders which are deep
enough is not materially changed. The
heavier the pull the tighter the collar.
On shallow shoulders collar is
squeezed back with the result that the
skin and muscles beneath the collar
are often sore. Sharp, thin, prominent
withers add depth and wearing quail

FASCINATION OF AIR LIFE
First Trip in Army Airplane q
Thriller Apart From Everything
Else In Life, Says Filler.

An aviation student In one Of the
Western schools declares that the
sensation of the first trip in one Of
the governments aircraft is not to be
compared with anything else he ever
experienced. He explained 1t thus:
Il wish I had the ability to describe
the fascination of this work of learn
ing to be the cavalry Of the air, or
eyes of the army, or anything else one
chooses to call us.
Let me tell you that your first trip
In an airplane is thing apart, absO-
lutely new and different from any ex-
perience that you ever had.
You climb into the bus with your
sweater and your leather helmet and
goggles, looking like something you
would throw raw fish to If you saw it
in a cage, and the lieutenant shoves on
the power and you go humping and
bouncing along the ground with big
wind in your face and the prop spin
ming out In front like q Dutch wind
mill gone crazy.
Then suddenly the bumps are gone
and you go whirring swiftly and stead
lily up into the clear air and sunshine
and the earth falls away like a fade
away on movie screen and the fool
ish little people on the ground turn up
their white faces at you as you 60
over.
Il hope l don't get mumps or liver
complaint or some fool thing that will
keep me out of it all. This Ia my pet
fear more than that Of taking q fall

an ordinary farm wagon, and pulled
a load of 5000 pounds over different
kinds of roads. The wagon was a
standard farm wagon with steel axles
of equal length, wheels 38 and AZ
inches in diameter, and fOur-inch tires.
A recording dynamOmeter, known as
the Iowa type, was used to register
re tractive force of the team. This
instrument makes a record of the re-
sistance on strip Of paper under a
recording pencil, and after the test,
the total pull Of the team can he read
off In pounds. The record of the test
is as follows:
On a concrete road, unsurfaced, In
excellent condition, the total pull on
the load was SO pounds, or 27.6 pounds
per ton.
On q concrete road with three-eighth
screenings, road in excellent condition.
the total pull was 1915 pounds or 1872
pounds per ton.
On the ordinary macadam road In
excellent condition, the total pull was
1893 pounds or 64.3 pounds per ton.
For a graveled road, compact, and
in good condition, the total pull was
Dds pounds or 20 pounds per ton.
An earth road, firm, with one and
one-half inches of fine, loose dust, the
total pull was 276 pounds or 90 pounds
per ton.
An earth road, with mud to
inches deep, but soil firm underneath,
the total pull was 654 pounds or 21S
pounds per ton.
On graveled road, before the gravel
had been compacted. but when 1t was
in ordinary loose condition after it had
been placed upon the road. the total
pull was 7S9 pounds or 2G3 pounds per
ton.
The above shows very well what
great advantages good roads have on
the hauling properties of a team.
