Republicans and the Bolsheviki.

The republican national committee at its
Chicago conference came out squarely against
bolshevism and socialism This is not surpris-
ing, nor does it mean that the party has ADAM
doned its progressive IDEAS or that it will neg
lect the good Of humanity in its program. 1t
does mean that it wifi not, even for votes, wink
at the disorderly elements of destruction now
masquerading as agencies of the uplift. The
party that preserved the union and freed the
slaves in the United States; that directed the
development of the whole land to its wonderful
place in the front rank of modern nations; that
by its wise legislation and prudent administra-
ton brought the American workman the great
est of blessings afforded by prosperity, peace
and good wages may be depended upon to de-
fend that record and perpetuate its work. The
institutions of free government are safe only
when good order prevails, and to this the re-
publicans of the United States are irrevocably
pledged

May Feel Competition

European needs for dairy products
may be largely supplied from pre-war
sources within two years time and the
American dairy industry may again feel
foreign competition on home markets"
This is the conclusion of Roy C. Potts.
specialist in marketing dairy products.
bureau of markets, United States depart
ment of agriculture, speaking before a
recent meeting of food officials in New
York city.
In explaining the work of the bureau
of markets in gathering and distribut-
ing accurate market information on dairy
products, Mr.. Potts pointed out the sta
bilizing effect of such information on
prices. and stated that fluctuating prices
at wholesale make for wider margins be-
tween producer and consumer, while sta
bilization permits greater economy in
distribution.
Recent monthly reports on milk prices
in 200 cities have called attention tp
the wide difference in distribution costs
prevailing in different sections of the
country. While economies in distribu-
ton are possible in some communities,
the speaker pointed out that a saving of
no per cent in the cost of distribution
would make only a very slight saving
to the individual consumer. A much
greater loss to the public, he said, lies
in paying top market prices for inferior
qualities of dairy products. He adj
vocated standardization of methods of
production and distribution, with spe
cial attention to more uniform quality
of product as one of the great needs of
the dairy industry.

Heaviest Grain Eaters

The various proportions of the crops
that are fed to the different classes of
domestic animals on farms in this coun-
try have been determined by the bu-
reau of crop estimates with interesting
results. Corn, of course, is fed to hogs
much more than to any other class of
animals-50 per cent to them, or fully
one-half of the quantity fed to all ami
mails. Horses eat "a per cent cattle 10
per cent and poultry per cent.
| Horses are the chief eaters of oats,
their share being 6S per cent, that of
cattle Is per cent, of hogs IL per cent and
| of poultry per cent. Barley is chiefly
eaten by hogs, whose consumption is ~
per cent of the quantity eaten by all ami
mails, while horses eat is per cent, cattle
| u per cent and poultry IL per cent. OF
the small fraction of the wheat crop fed
to animals, poultry gets 50 per cent and
| hogs % per cent. Nearly all the hay
| goes to cattle and horses, 81 and 40 per
cent, respectively.
! Rye has been fed to animals as we'll
as used for bread and whisky. and more
than one-half of this feed has gone -
/ hogs one quarter to horses and one
seventh to poultry Nearly all the silage
1 is eaten by cattle. and little is consumed
by hogs. horses, sheep and even by poul-
! try Mill feed is especially for cattle
and swine, which together consume 81
per cent of the whole quantity that is
fed, in about equal proportions.
The figures of the bureau indicate that
| hogs are the principal grain eaters
horses a close second, cattle third, poultry
| fourth, and that sheep consume mere
trace! Cattle are the greatest forage
eaters, and they and horses consume the
bulk of it, so that little is eaten by
sheep and swine, as fractions of the total
] consumption by animals.
