Revolutionary Propaganda.

, Christiania dispatches indicate
that a lively propaganda is in
progress in the northe4nmost
parts of Norway, notably in Fin
marken, for the purpose of
bringing about a revolutionary
movement intimately akin to the
Bolshevist rising in Russia.
Shoe Industry Collapses.
1t is expected that about
seventy thousand workers in
Swedish shoe factories will be
unemployed by April Is because
of an overwhelmingly excessive
supply of shoes on hand. This
condition is partly due to un-
sound speculation, and, partly,
to a too extensive import of for
eign footwear.

What The Cow Testing
Association Means to Your
Dairy Profits.


To begin with it is a direct
expense just as much as the feed
you put in front of the cows.
Next comes the question:: are
you as a farmer willing to admit
that there is a possibility yes
a certainty that your cows can be
fed for more profitable produc-
ton than you are getting or in
other words that the total ex-
pense of your ration can be in
creased or decreased as the case
may warrant so as to make your
cows produce more for every dol
lars worth of feed you give
them. And following this comes
the question: are you able to
figure out a ration that will
make your cows give maximum
returns for every dollars worth
of feed they get? In fact how
much do your cows now return
for every dollars worth of feed?
Until these facts are before us
and until we are willing to face
them without shrinking, we will
continue to feed at a loss on
many of our cows and others that
could make more profit if right
ly fed will continue as they are.
Now we come to the first state
ment that the cost of an expert
feeder and record keeper is a
direct expense per cow but with
his assistance in feeding and re-
cord keeping the increased pro-
fits on each cow will pay for the
investment three times over.
Furthermore when you want to
sell a cow, these test association
records made under ordinary
farm conditions have more prac-
tical value to the average farmer
than the big advanced registry
records made under conditions
that he cannot duplicate.

winter feed and care of the
stock is the hardest nut to crack.

make up for the wild hay that

Wild hay and plenty of roots

ing at all will pay for a little
grain in addition. A cow is a
machine and will make maximum
profit only when run to full
capacity. Don't just keep cows
but make them help keep you.
Don't guess in gallons at what
they are giving but weigh in
pounds. Your gallons are always
over estimated. Our common
cows properly fed on crops you
can raise will make 400 more

Abnormal conditions in world a.

Penrose pointed to the trade bal

cannot permit itself to become top
heavy with gold. To prevent this,
goods will probably have to be freely
admitted to this country, although
the European nations are not likely
