The methods of farming here are old
fashioned. l have only seen two NOW
ing machines since we came here.
Most of the harvesting is done with
scythe and cradle, and the threshing
is done by hand.
But best of all is the way they do
their washing. They lay the clothes
on a table and beat the dirt out with
paddle, and a washboard is some
thing they have never seen.
We received some tobacco from a
tobacco fund in New York yesterday
and. believe me, we surely appreciat-
ed it as American tobacco is very hard
to buy here.

Feeding aud Handling hairy Cattle

Feeding and Handling hairy Cattl,
In the present great emergenc,
dairy products are considered
among the foods OF hrst importance
They are vital to the best develop
ment and welfare OF our own nation
and TO our army and allies abroad
There is world shortage OF dairy
products that seem sure to eonue
for a long time. Thirty million
dairy cows have been slaughtered In
Europe and the number in the Unit
ed States has been materially re-
dueed. To make every COW as Ell
cient as possible is highly pa
triotic act and also will bring In
creased profits.

tural agent for Josephine county.
has secured Professor 4. d. Fits OF

cultural college. TO discuss the feed
ing and handling OF dairy cattle and
show how yields can often be In
creased without increasing the cost.
The feeding OF animals has not re-
ceived the study II deserves. Mr..
Fits will devote considerable atten-
tion to the balancing OF rations and.
to the comparative calues of different
feeds. Greatly increased yields fol-
low a change for ration that is out
OF balance to one that is balanced
and properly fed. An understanding

feeds and their right place In the ra-
tion can be made a source OF revenue
to any stock man through savings
effected in purchases. One man in
Oregon estimates that he saved $500
In one year by changing his ration

mony.

THE BoLsHEvIKI MENACE

THE BOLSHEvIKI MENACE
While the headlines Of the New
York morning papers OF February 5
disposed OF the fantastic camouflags
whereby the Bolsheviki were going
to instigate revolutions in Austria
and Germany and lead the kaiser to
sue for peace. the headlines on the
11th disposed OF that great Illusion
that the Bolsheviki would never
make a separate peace and that be-
fore they would surrender to the
criminal demands OF the 'Potsdam
Gapgr they would again grid up
their loins and put on the armor for
the fight.
Between those two dates, great
illumination was shed upon the
whole Lenine-Trotzky game by the
publication OF the documentary proof
that Lenine, Trotzky and other lead
: ing Bolshevists had engineered their
revolutionary movement in Russia
with German funds. In fact, the cor
respondence shows that the imperial
Bank Of Germany had ordered hall
dozen different bankers to honor
checks not only from Lenine and
Trotzky but from FIVE other Bolshe-
visit leaders. including Madam Alex
andra Kollantay, head OF the de
partment of public welfare-who, b!

4 Just ARRANGEMENT.

Science prostituted to wholesale

Which Germany has sought % destroy

It might build world-controlling
s.utocratic, :atheistic power.
All that German scientists have
been able to achieve has been, by the
German Government and the German
people, prostituted to the killing and
the manning Of millions in order that
Germany might conquer and loot the
world.
In the air, on the land and under
the sea; every device which the chem
lst and the engineer have been liable
to devise for binging suffering and
sorrow upon the world has been put
INTO effect by German experts. All that

rlished in the past in the develop
rent of science has been prostituted
to the destruction Of moral forces at
home and 70 the murder OF millions Of
people on the battlefield
This is a campaign by Germany CT
deliberately, .defnitely-planned, long
gloried-ip murder.
This is a campaign Of frightfulness
which finds expression in ruthless de-
struction Of every country oyer which
the rotten-souled armies of Germany
have marched.
This is a campaign in which Ger
many has gloried in its power to in
fict suffering untold upon women ana
children, in which it has ruthlessly
shot the aged and inhrm, in which it
has destroyed churches and cathedz
rails with the same gloating glee of
the demon with which Germans have
destroyed womanhood and childhood.
This is not, therefore, a war Of
science; it is fight n which science,
as expressed through chemistry and
engineering, is being used to the ut
most power of human ingenuity, aid
ed by every influence which the devil
':imself can put into effect to enable
Germany to make more frightful its
hell-devised and hell-begotten plan Of
murder.
We have been compelled to meet Ger
Fan science with greater science. We
have been forced to find way to
raster its work in the air, on the
land ana under the sea; and the
science of Americans and of our Al
lies will yet prove as far superior to
lie science of Germany in it's cam
raign of murder as American honor
exceeds the black dishonor of Ger
any.
As every telegraphic click across the
Atlantic brings a new toll of death
and of suffering our hearts should DC

able determination that Germany and
the German people shall pay to the

FREDERICK AND KAISER

There is a remarkable resemblance
as to the causes of the present war
and that started by Frederick the
Great, the most illustrious of the Ho-
henzollerns, in 1740. The cause OF
each war was the same. Frederick,
King of Prussia, was not q hypocrite.
In his memoirs he declared frankly
that his reasons for plunging Larope
into war were Ambition, interes.,
the desire of making people talk . about
me- These. things. he said, "carried
