DAzED BY HUN ATROCITIES
Emotional Faculties Of Afflicted Bel
aians Probably Paralyzed by the
Horrors They Had Witnessed.

Mr. Brand Whitlock, former Ameri-
can minister to Belgium, has been
talking about the horror Of Louvain IN
the London Daily Telegraph:
~ was struck by the lack Of pas
sion displayed by all those who had
so terribly suffered. I seldom heard
any Of them express hatred OF the
Germans or any desire for revenge.
"None Of them, as far as I could
learn or observe, even acted In the
tragic manner. There were no he
roics and no histrionics; they did
not even demean themselves as do peo-
pie In the cinema or the romantic nov
I'm moments of great danger, or
great strain and tragedy, people are
simple and natural; they do not act
in the theatrical sense Of the word"
To say that a play could be acted
without gesture or other expression
of what we feel is absurd. Nor
would, / think, history support Mr..
Brand Whitlock's inference, whatever
may have been the story Of unhappy
Belgium.
When Nine. du Barry died upon
the scaffold in Paris, her shrieks de-
lighted the knitting women. The Due
de Guise ran wildly from his assas-
sins to throw himself at the feet OF
Henry Of France. Pitt wept for his
country's misfortunes-the family OF
the Inflated Louis XVI did not cease
their lamentations all night when they
heard that he was to be guillotined at
dawn.
The choler Of Judge Jeffreys found
expression in the rawlings and rantings
of q madman. Boabdll wept when he
was driven from Granada. Henry VIII
could swear like q fishwife-Catherine
Howard shrieked at Hampton court,
and the superstitious hear her shrieks
to this day.
In my view, the unhappy Belgians
were dazed by the very horror of the
circumstance. The atrocities commit
ted by the Hun were too awful. Shall
we wonder If the emotional faculties
were paralyzed?-London Dispatch.

What We Really Know.

Some years ago quaint old farmer
made this remark to us:
~ have lived q good many years; l
have tried to be close observer OF the
thipps about me on the farm; / have
read what / could and kept all that l
could understand. But this have come
TO believe fully; that of all the great
mass OF stuff that comes 10 US as knowl-
edge, the things We think we know,
there's but little of it that we really do
know, that sticks to us and that We can
count on day after dag as being really
So"
The old man was right. There is
vast accumulation of so called knowledge
Taught in the schools. Most OF 1t is
contradiction of that taught twenty hye
Years ago, Some of that received as the
truth now will be contTadicted in the
same school twenty five years from now.
So 1t is with the experience OF the farm
ar. The learning of the supposed truth
TO-DAY means the unlearning of that be-
lieved in yesterday. Everywhere ana ID
everything where we deal with nature
are we meeting with this marvellous
shifting of the scenes, this change ano
variability; and so at last we come 10
understand that the subject to be studied
is vastly bigger than our capacity ior
studying 1t. With the farmer, II be Is
a wise man, this constant stream oil
variation is accepted. He knows that
hIs best Judgment is nothing more snsn
a close guess, little closer perhaps than
his neighbor, for be refuses 70 be "cock
sure of anything.
We 6nd in breeding our cattle ana
nlants that Nature throws US on toe
track OF certainty by her universal law
of variation. We find In dealing win
the soil that nowhere can We be "cock
sure'' that we are right.
Rut we do find that those men are
nearest right, the most successful, the
closest guessers, who bring to their task
the most enlightened and comprehensive
minds. To such minds Nature yieioss
the largest number of her secrets sno
with that they must be content. Nature

More Profitable Cows.

Is the good cow or the inferior cow
born what she is, or made what she is
by the manner of raising and manage
ment when she is young? In answering
this question, the writer is of an opinion
that the high producing cow is not made
what she is by the manner of raising or
by any special treatment the dairy cow
receives during her growth period. She
ia mostly what she has inherited. II
the dairy cow is the product of inher-
lance, then the question of getting
higher proportion of good cows is
breeding problem.
Every owner of live stock who has
given careful thought to the breeding
question realizes that the main chance
for rapid improvement of herd lies in
the sire. No one would recommend the
purchase of q high producing cow and
the continued use of bull of mediocre
breeding as a means of developing
herd. The skillful breeder of dairy
cows does not need to have it pointed
out to him how important II is that the
sire be properly selected. 1t Is largely
because he realizes the importance Of
the sire and knows how TO select him.
He knows that the future reputation OF
his herd is at stake when be buys new
herd bull. 0n the other band, he real
lzss that mistake in judgment on the
part of the owner would be disastrous
to valuable herd.
Another question which the successful
breeder thinks Of is this: Will the con-
staut culliug out of our inferior cows
result in the next generation being bet
ter COWS with fewer slackers? IL is
entirely possible and, in fact, probable
that II we depend upon the elimination
OF poor cows alone, the next generation
of cows will contain just as many in-
ferior COWS as does this one. For exam
nle. In herd where animals are much
of the same breeding, heifer calf from
one of the best cows In the herd has but
little chance of being any better than q
heifer from one of the average cows In
that herd, provided both heifers are
from the same bull. About one-third OF
all dairy cows raised in the United States
are culled out when records are kept.
That means, taking all dairy cattle In
| the United States into account, We will
have to raise three dairy animals In
| order to get two that will be satisfactory.
This is an enormous expense TO the
dairy farmers, not only in raising these
improbable animals, but in keeping
them until their Yorthlessness Is proved
and they can be culled out. f
One way to raise more profitable COWS
would be to dispose of all low strain
cows and replace them with cows OF q
strain having q high dairy Inheritance,
This is not generally practical. The
only practical way to Introduce such
blood In most cases is through sire
belonging to a higher strain having .
better dairy inheritance than the dams.

Every day more moving appeals
come from distressed Armenia, Syria,
Persia and the Russian Caucasus.
Tens of thousands Of people are as
gaunt and hungry as those gathered
around the dead horse in the accom-
panying picture. Many have been
without food for days. An Associated
Press dispatch from Salonika Of re-
cent date December 16) reports that
of the 100000 Armenians deporteG
by the Turks only 100000 survived
and that not more than one-fourth of
the present Armenian population can
survive until the next harvest without
outside help.
Distressing as seem these reports,
1t Is encouraging to know that even
causes of advanced emaciatiOn, such
as are shown In this illustration, readl-
ly respond to treatment. With food
and medical care millions can be made
strong and healthy. Thirty million
dollars, the sum to be sought in the

100000 lives. Considered only as an
investment, 1t should be worth while.

Each Of these hospitals contains 100
beds and complete equipment except
for kitchen utensils. The buildings In
which these hospitals will be housed
in the Near East have been erected.
With the hospital equipment the conf
mittee will purchase large quantities of
medical supplies which have been
stored in France to safeguard the
health of American soldiers. These
supplies will be rushed to the Near
East from French port.
Careful surveys of the situation In
the Near East indicate that lack Of
transportation facilities is the chief
cause of famine. There Is food enough
to keep the inhabitants from starving,
but 1t cannot be distributed to supply
62S,000 square miles Of country. There
are only 80 miles of railroad. Conse-
quently there is plenty of food In some
sections of the country where food Is
grown, but great distress in those
which are not self-supporting. In the
cities especially there is great need.

Wars Influence on Music.

Have you noticed what speeding
up" of music has come out Of this
war? There has been SO much music
in 1t. When the famous retreat from
Mons was made, one set Of soldiers
was kept awake and moving one night
by tie music Of little toy fife and
child's drum, which the commander OF
1t bought In kind Of desperation In
shop shortly before. The music acted
like a charm on the men, who began to
move more quickly and more easily as
soon as they heard 1t. A battalion
marching without singing Is unusual In
this war, unless secrecy of movement
Is called for. There's q Long Long
Trail" is q favorite song, but dear old
"Tlpperary" IS not sung much now.
Little French boys sing 1t well, though.
and sing 1t O great deal. Mother Ma
chree" is sung still, because 1t has SO
much Of the old home feeling In II.
Whenever a wounded soldier In the
hospital says he wants to hear a
phonograph, 1t is taken to mean that
he Is getting better. And the very
sick soldiers, when they hear sweet
music played in their wards In hos
pitals, are sOothed and calmed by 1t.

AIR CHOPPED UP BY SHELL
Aviator Describes Effect Of Heavy
Missile Which Passed Some Hun.
dreds Of Yards From Alrplane.

A British aviator who had been fly
Ing In France since the beginning of
the war told the story Of meeting a
shell from German 17-inch gun while
he was In the air, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.
"I was at an altitude Of about 5000
feet one day and climbing higher at
an easy angle, when one Of those big
fellows, almost at the end Of its long
flight, came plowing along In the OPP
posite direction" he says. First
a dark little blur appeared ahead at
an angle Of about 80 degrees above
me. At first 1t seemed to be coming
right at me and I swerved to the left
in an instructive effort to dodge the
threatened blow. Then sort Of dron-
ing hum became audible and that
sound increased during the two or
three seconds that elapsed before the
big missile came up to me and swept
past. 1t was probably several hundred
yards away at its nearest, but the dis
tance seemed less.
"A few faint STRINGS Of air began
to rock my machine even before the
shell went by, but the full force of
the air wash came fraction Of a
second later. Their an almost solid
wall of air nearly threw me on my
beam ends and I was really hard put
to 1t to get the reeling machine back
on an even keel. For the next mile
or two the air was like water in the
wake Of big sidewheeler-all chopped
to pieces-and the machine rocked like
n springless lorry going over cobbles.
The air was disturbed for some Sec
onds after loud roar astern had told
me that the shell had come to earth"

Apple Crop Is Larger.

The United States commercial ap-
pie crop for 1918 will exceed the 1917
production by approximately 8 per
cent, according to the November fore
cast by the bureau Of crop estimates.
United States department Of agricul-
ture. Production for this year Is now
estimated at 25,O0S.0O0 barrels. with
22,519,OOO barrels In 1917. Attention
is called to the fact that the barr"led
and bulk apple production is estimat-
ed at a 81 per cent increase over Inst
year, while the 1918 boxed apple crop
will fall short Of last years produc-
ton by % per cent. However, the
latter deficiency is more than offset
by the increase in the Eastern suites
