MILK HELPS YOUNG ANIMALS
Skim Milk and Other Creamery BY.
Products Are Useful Feeds for
Pigs and Calves.

While whole milk Is natures bal
anced food and is valuable for young
animals, skim milk and other creamery
by-prOductS, such as buttermilk and
whey, are also useful feeds, say spe-
cialistS Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Skim milk is
fed TO young pigs in the proportion of
about three pounds to one of cOncen-
trates, such as cornmeal or shorts.
Buttermilk, which has not been d.
luted too much with water, has nearly
the same feeding value as skim milk.
It is a better food for swine than for
calves because it is apt to cause d.
gestive disturbances when fed to the
latter, unless considerable care Is
used. Whey is used almost exclusive
ly in feeding swine. It is about two
thirds as valuable as skim milk as q
food. Accordingly from ten to twelve
pounds of whey are equivalent to one
pound of grain. Sweet skim milk.
when supplemented with other feed
such as corn meal or wheat shorts. Is
very good for young calves. IF beef
calves are to be fed skim milk, they
should be fed in practically the same
manner as dairy calves.

with snow, mud or sand, in hilly
country where maximum traction on
the road is a factor, no other tire tread
yet devised is quite SO effective, or so
wholly approved by motoring opin-

Its very simplicity-three rows of
diagonal knobs, gripping the road
is the result of all the years of u. S.

to paying 800 per cent more for ar
ticles than We formerly did.
But as to present newspaper costs:
The two principal items are labor and
print paper. Yabor in some instances
is higher than it was year ago, and
so is paper. 1t is true that the trend
of the news print market is at pres
ent downward, but that does not af-
feet present contracts. The Leader
is paying about 200 per cent more for
its print than it did year ago. Dur
ing the old days of the $500 subscrip-
tion price it obtained print at $1.9O &
hundred weight; last month the cost
was $500 a hundred weight.
This situation in Regard to the
present cost of publishing a newspa
per as compared with former condi
tions is not generally understood anC
the Leader is glad that the point has
been raised and of the opportunity
to offer the above explanation.

"In short, the British government,
standing by the decision of the lord
chancellor, has found it the part of
expediency to disregard the league Of
nations in the matter in controversy,
and would appear to have preached an
article of the league covenant in Or
de rto postpone what may yet be an
embarrassing position. Article 20 of
the league covenant reads:
The members Of the league sew
orally agree that this covenant IS
accepted as abrogating all obligations
or understandings inter Sc which are
inconsistent with the terms thereof,
and solemnly undertake that they will
not hereafter ente rinto any engage
ments inconsistent with the terms
thereof. In case any member of the
league shall, before becoming mem
Der of the league, have undertaken
any obligations inconsistent with the
terms of this covenant, it shall be
the duty of such member to take i'm
mediate steps to procure its release
from such obligations
"In July, 1920, Japan and England
are said to have admitted that their
treaty was inconsistent with the
leageue covenant. In July, 1921, the
lord chancellor declares such admis-
sion not to have been denunciatOry
of the treaty. and apparently ignores
what the league covenant declares tC
be the plain duty of both nations-'tC
take immediate steps to procure its
release from such obligations Thus
is the spirit of the league covenant
once more violated, and day or 81
after the lord chancellor's decision
was announced, the democratic hold

his farewell address expressed th'
hope that America would some day
join the league Of nations. 1t was ;
pious but a foolish hope"

BRITAIN BUFFETS LEAGUE.

Washington, July 20.-"The decis-
ion of Brikenhead, the British lord |
chancellor, that the Anglo-Japanese
treaty was not denounced by the note
sent to the league Of nations early in |
July, and that consequently the trea-
ty, even if denounced, would auto |
matically run for another year, may
be looked upon as an official action
repudiating Article 20 of the league
covenant and further condemning the
league as a useless incumbrance," de-
clares the Republican Publicity asso-
citation, through its president, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
"Clause VIII of the Anglo-Japan-
ese treaty of 1911 provides that the
treaty lis to come into force imme-
diately after the date of it's signature
and to remain in force for ten years
from that date. In case neither of the
high contracting parties should have
notified twelve months before the ex-
piration of said ten years the inten-
tion of terminating it, it shall re-
main binding until the expiration of
one year from the day on which eth
er of the high contracting parties
shall have denounced it.
1t was the general opinion Of the
dominion premiers and many diplo-

At the same time attention might
be called to the fact that the advance

comparison to the advance in the

newspaper costs are higher now than
at any previous period either before
