CORN VS.. PORK
BY HAMIIN GARLAND
Of the vIal1antes.

II the war goes on Gas it seems likely
to do) We may come to Doctor Kel-
logg's way of thinking and cut out
the raising Of pigs altogether. he es-
Inmates that 1t takes nearly ten pounds
Of corn to make a pound Of pork, and
that when we get the pork we are
worse off than If we had none. This.
I suspect, is true, for I, under orders
Of my doctor, have had no pork Of any
kind for three years.
Kellogg is an extreme vegetarian, OF
course, and his statements must be
read In the light Of that fact. And
yet he has logic on, his side. Why
continue to feed the most vital food
Of the human raoe to dFoves Of ami
mails whose flesh is admitted to be I'M
wholesome to many people and without
which all of us would be better of?
Another curious reflection comes in
when discussing the raising Of any
kind Of flesh food. How much Of the
corn or oats goes to supply energy for
exercise on the part Of the animal3
Every time a pig or steer takes q
trot or a gallop around the yard a
considerable amount Of food is used
up in a muscular action. This sounds
IKE a Joke, but 1t isn't, It is a seri-
ous observation on the part Of vegeta-
rams. -
The Germans. with their usual EN-
cheney, have taken these matters In
hand. They have decreased the num-
Der Of pigs not only to save food, but
to preserve q certain balance In the
ration. We may yet come to Kellogg's
point Of view and begin the re-
duction of pork raising to save corn,
retaining only enough pigs to act as
scavengers of the kitchen refuse.
This much we can do, we can feed
our hogs with care. l wonder how
many Western farmers still feed their
pigs as they used to do by throwing
the corn into the pen? At that time,
with corn ut Is cents bushel, it didn't
matter how much was trampled into the
mire, but now the case is different. We
are careful to clean our own plates,
and yet am not sure that the farmers
are making their cattle feed go as far
as it might by careful rationing. AMI
mails used to be overfed on our farms.
Are they being scientifically fed now?
Corn and wheat can win this war,
and when the final choice Is made pigs
must 70, cotton and wool be reduced
in amount, and cattle be raised without
exercise and in the most economical
way.
As I write these things am sud-
denly taken anew with the wonder Of
the changes that have come to this
America Of ours. That we Of all ma
tons Of the world should be seriously
considering how to conserve our food
supply, makes clearer than any other
measure the appalling blight which the
war, with its destructive agencies, has
thrown over the entire earth. 1t Is in
credible but it is true. 1t is not only
true, but Is becoming each day more
vital in our thinking, How shall we
feed the allies, ourselves and the waves
of the North seat
We must double production, we must
save, and we must use with scientific
precision. ,-.,.-..- ..+- , ..E--.. =. "

Cattle Market Favors Novice.

While the demand has picked UP for
the best grades OF cattle, the general
call is broader for medium to fairly
good kinds, and the man who feeds
the grades most wanted of course
will make the most money. Aitho
quantity rather than quality is what
the government has been calling for,
it has pledged itself to increase prices
Of better grades, because feeders of
best classes need encourag cement
The much narrower range in prices
now prevailing over last September,
and around 81 higher than at present,
is evidence that the need is greater for
lower gardes. In the high week in
September steers sold at $3.50 917.9O,
and up to today of this week sales
have been made at slo.so@15.s5. The
difference in the spread favors those
who are feeding the lower priced kinds.
Under ordinary conditions the most
plentiful grades sell to least ad-
vantage, burt since last fall. because
Of the great need for numbers, the in
between kinds have been working up
most rapidly. This fact, by the way.
should encourage the more or less in
experienced feeder.
With a certainty Of a big demand for
beef the next few years. producers
can make no mistake in raising all
the cattle they can handle. And by
watching the market from week to
week they can keep informed OF the
kinds selling to best advantage and
govern operations accordingly.
Present market conditions favor the
small and inexperienced feeder as
never before. Men who have made
cheap beef out of the soft corn the past
year have realized, with few excep-
tons, good returns. There is also
every reason to believe market condi-
tons will continue to favor the novice.
The trend for more economical pro-
ducton of all meats existed before the
war and is now merely being en-
phasized by 1t. That this trend will
continue 10 influence production after
the war and as long as prosperity
reigns and population increases is a
reasonably safe ASSUMPTION. There was
never a better time for the new man
to break into cattle growing than now

however. have drawn attention tS the
question of his loyalty, and. while no
overt act of disloyalty has been
charged, his utterances are being in

The primary desire of the war de-

service an officer of high rank who
was shown by reports of inspectors
to be lacking in zeal and enterprise in
preparing his command fer conflict
with the German army For this rea-
son he was promptly discharged. and
the question Of his loyalty left to be
passed upon by the civil branch of the

sLAvs ARE NOT "MYsTERIous"
Their Civilization ID Simply Four Cen
turtles Behind Ours, says Writer
$50 In Magazine.

used to see good deal Of a Swede
In Petrograd who lived with his Rus
sian wife in Nittle inside tenement
over in the Viborg quarter and wrote
long and very erudite articles in mi
croscopic long-hand for a Stockholm So
cialist newspaper, Arthur Ruhl writes
in Golfers Weekly. A social demo-
crat himself, in the bewildering shift
ing of political values he had become
almost conservative. Realism was his
strong point, and he never tired of smil-
ing satirically ut western attempts to
explain the mysterious Russian-espe-,
cially attempts after the manner of
Stephen Graham, always SO much more
Russian than the Russians themselves.
Mysterious, mysticism. separate

satirically. ''Aii fooiishness! There's
nothing mysterious about Russia-it's
merely four centuries difference In CIV
ilization-that's ALL"
There was something, ut least, In
what he said. Tolstoy's nonresistance
and his final remuneration of everything
to so out into the winter night to meet
his God; there was something Of race
in this and not mere personal idiosyn-
crasy-something more in the air of
this half-oriental land than 1t Is in
ours. Yet westerners often do forget,
when considering Russia, that its vast
uneducated majority are closer perhaps
to the material life, the superstitions
and prejudices Of the sixteenth GEN.

the crowds he saw about him IN Eliza
bethan London, described their lice
and loutishness, and how they threw
their greasy caps in air." was he not
looking at a person in very much the
same stage of historical development
as the Russian peasant Of 1917?
All these things must be remember
ed in picturing day-to-day conditions in
Moscow or Petrograd. An officer at
the front or an unpopular land owner
in some remote country house literally
doesn't know what may happen to him
before morning. But for most people
life goes on amazingly the same. Chill
dren go to school, postmen deliver let
tiers, the theater and opera run on as
usual and people sit about their samo-

You must not imagine Petrograd in

the terror or imagine that the tova-
rishi carry on a revolution as 1t might
be carried on in Liverpool or Manches-
ter or Pittsburgh or Chicago.

Ancient Silver Coin.

coin Of pure silver, bearing a per-

Bar Rerub, king of Schamol, who
relgned 300 years B. G. Up to the
time this coin was unearthed the Ly-

money.
