G. P. H. asla: What causes tho
different cells Of my storage battery
to vary as much as fifteen points. in
respect to their hydrometer readings,
and how can I eaualize them?
Answer: An Individual cell may
have defective insulation or be short
circuited by active material that has
fallen from the plates. This will cause
1t to lose Its charge faster than the
other cells. A cell may have n leaky
jar. which results in the escape of cleo
trolyte and calls for an amount of
water to be added, which wcakens the
density OF tho solution and therc arc
other causes of differences between
ono cell and another. II. after long
charge, Mt a low rate. the readings
of the cells do not eQuaIixe and re-
main so for a reasonable time, II is
advisable to take the battery to n

PICNIC AT DEVIL CREEK

G.. Fl. Imig, a successful farmer OF
Junction City, will be the speaker at
the equity picnic to be held at Devils

up community breed associations, to-
gether with timely problems. Mr..
Imig is farmer who did not at first
believe in cow testing association, be-
cause he felt that his herd was not
good enough to be tested. However,
competition whetted his spirit of rival

association. He had the best cow in
that association for three consecutive
months.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS
RAISING POTATOES

One bushel of certified Rural New
Yorker potatoes, treated for scab
black scurf, and black leg, was sent
out to each member of the Rusk Coun-
ty Boys and Girls Club, the first of
the week. These are sent out by the
county agent in exchange for one and
one-half times as many In the fall.
Each member is requested to keep
records Of planting, spraying, cult
waiting and digging Of the potatoes.
During the summer the club members
will be given assistance and encour
agement in raising the potatoes. These
potatoes will be exhibited at the coun-
ty fair in the fall.
Boys and girls, you have an oppor-
trnity to produce more potatoes to the
acre and better potatoes than your
fathers. Let us 60 after this work
with the idea of producing the best po-
tatOpS in RuSk county. You can dO it.

ARE DECEIVING
AS Shown In Test of Two
COWS.-Vast Differ
ence

Put business in your dairying and
get rid of the boarders' was discussed
by John Imrie, of Roberts, who talked
at meetings held at Bruce and Tony.
Friday and Saturday nights. Keep
before your hogs at all times a wood
ash and salt mixture, composed of a
double handful of salt to a bushel of
wood ashes" is his advise to farmers
who would build good frames for their
hogs and who would keep their hogs
in good condition and free from worms.
Although not large, the audiences were
very enthusiastic.
Mr.. Imrie told that few years ago
in addition to other live stock. Both
of these animals looked to be good
COWS, but when milk and feed were
taken into consideration. one COW pro-
duced a net profit of $4,000, while the
others profit was $500 for the year
The former produced as much profit as
thirty of the latter and only four teats
needed to be MIXED twice day in
stead of 100. This same cow could
come to many Of our farms and replace
as many of our COWS. How can one
tell which is the best COW? BY weigh
ing and testing the milk and by weigh
ing the feed. With high-priced feed
and labor. now is the time to get rid
Of the boarders and prepare for the
better day that is coming. Feeding
and milking COWS for the pleasure of it
is poor business.
Salt and Ashes for Hogs
On Mr. Imrie's farm in Minnesota,
his manager said he was giving the
hogs ashes and salt only about once a
month. because during the warmer
months an oil stove was used and no
wood ashes were made. Mr.. Imrie
told the man that the hogs had worms
and sent him TO the schOolhouse where
one of the directors laughed at him
for using wood ashes TO feed hogs.
However. when the salt-WOod ashes
mixture was put in the yards all the
hogs left fresh ground barley to get at
this mixture until they were Satisfied.
A couple of days later, the dropping
OF the nOSS proven MI llliIle was llShi
and his man was convinced that keep
ing ashes and salt before the hogs at
all times was a good measure.
Why do hogs eat their offspring?
Most often because something is lack
ing in their ratiOns and often times
because their udder is infiamed. The
pain of a pig sucking is so great that
the mother bites the young pig and
then eats him. Mothers do not natural
~ eat their young and will not if prop
erly taken care of. Rubbing a handful
of kerosene into the udder will be
found to be Of great benefit in taking
out inflammation.

FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
FARMER"

The emergency tariff on wheat which
slow congress passed for the bene-
fit of the farmer" has now shown
where the benefit went. Simply and
exactly. il went to the grain Spectator
in Chicago.
When the great slump came in wheat
last year, thousands Of farmers decld-
ed to hold their wheat for a higher
price. On January ! wheat was 81 40
bushel. On March 1, the price was
$1.47, on April 1, S1.33. and on May
l. S1.10.
Around May 1, the farmer found it
absolutely necessary to get rid OF his
wheat stocks in order to prepare for
the bumper crop forecasted for this
year and in order to clear his bins.
Millions of bushels went to the market
at that time at around $1.10, the bot
tom price.
When this had happened, in the
fourth week of May the tariff, for
the benefit Of the farmer, was passed,
that is. after most of the wheat had
gone to market.
Then what happened, my brothers?
Why. towards the end of May the
price of wheat scared to $1.65 and the
80 cents per bushel difference went
mostly into the hands of the grain
spectators. A very handsome profit
indeed, counting for more stone man
sions on Sheridan drive and more pal
aces up at Lake Geneva.
And the farmer who was to be
benefited" by the tariff on wheat?
Oh. he is out in the field sweating over
a new crop.
It's great life, if you don't weaken.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
Butter Would Lag If 1000
Farmers Used
OleO

''PatrOniZe home industry is some
thing we farmers can we'll practice III
buying the butterfat we use on our
bread every day. We farmers produce
butterfat, we sell butterfat, we want
the best price possible for butterfat.
yet how many Of us are using OleO or
cOcOanut butter instead of real but
ter? If we produce this butterfat and
do not help to consume it, how can we
expect the town people to use it?
Just suppose each farmer of the
county should use substitute instead
of butter. There are about two thou
sand Of us in the county, the families
Of whom consume about an average of
five pounds Of butter per week That
would mean that ten thousands pounds
of our Rusk county butter would lag
on the market. You who are using
oleO, this is something to think about
In one Of our neighbOring counties,
a farmer was standing on street cor
ner knocking" to number of farm
ers because Of the low price of butter
fat, and yet under his arm. he was
ARRIVING couple. of pounds of butter
substitute. Is this consistency? If
the farmer cannot afford to use real
butter, the product of the farm, he can
not expect the man in town to use it. |
In using substitute butter. we are
not only helping the big bosses to I'M
dermine our business. but we are feed |
ing to our growing children a product |
that is lacking in health essentials
We farmers will use real butter, we
will advertise real butter, and we will |
see to it that the people in town eat |
real butter. We can unite, let's pull |
together for greater consumption Of

THE INDEMNITY QUESTION

(From the New York Herald)
If the digest which the allies have
given out of the counter indemnity
proposal Of the Germans is at all ac-
curate David Lloyd-George is justi-
fled in calling it mockery. If the
Germans have calculated the amount
they offer to pay with one set of
swollen figures, but the amount that
would honestly cancel that debt with
an entirely different and smaller set
of figures, there is much excuse for
the allies to charge bad faith against
them and there is ground for the
general opinion that the proposal is
impudent as well as insincere.
But, when all is said and done,
what the Germans have offered or
how they have offered it does not
determine the one thing which must
be determined for a settlement that
will bear the test of reason and make
for the peace Of the world. That one
thing is, What can the Germans pay
without breaking? What the allies
have answered, or now they ma,

association and share with the allies
in the conduct Of the war and the re-
suits of the war the United States has
equal rights and interests with the
others in the after war dispositions.
1t has further advised them that the
United States has not recognized and
is not going to recognize the authority
Of anybody to dispose of American in
terests and rights without the consent
Of this government.
To say that the zap matter is set
tied beyond further discussion because
the allied council has told Japan she
might have zap and the League of
Nations has put its o. K. on the gift
is, we must repeat, like saying that
if a mans motor car is wrongfully
handed to somebody else and the
transfer is wrongfully affirmed by
a third party he cannot do anything &c
get his motor car back because it has
thus become a closed incident.
The zap mandate or any other mat
ter involving the interests and rights
Of the United States cannot become E
closed incident until the United State,
government closes it.

IMPENDING SOVIET PERILS,
(FrOm Harvey's Weekly

In his testimony before the house
foreign affairs committee, Mr.. John
Hays Hammond raised two objections
to our entering into trade relations
with Soviet Russia, either one of
which should be sufficiently cOnclu-
sive.
In the first place Soviet Russia has
nothing to sell. In the second place,
she has no money wherewith to buy
anything. 1t hardly demands pro-
found economic sagacity to grasp the
proposition that establishing CONNER
cial relations with a country which
can not buy anything or sell anything
presents serious difficulties.
Mr.. Hammond probably knows more
about Russia than any other Amer
lean living. He probably knows more
about that country than do ninety
nine out of q hundred Russians them
selves. He spent years in an exhaus-
tive study of Russia's resources dur
mo the reign of the Gar. Since Bed
am broke loose in the distracted coun-
try, he succeeded in keeping in touch
with conditions there through authori-
tative sources Of information. When
he finished his testimony, members of
the committee remarked that he had
given congress and the country more
real information regarding Russia
than has been available since TIE ever
throw of the monarchy.
Mr.. Hammond standardization Of his
information is that Russia's agricul-
tural resources are insignificant. She
mas no agricultural products to ex-
port. Her industries are at a stand
still. Her transportation system is a
wreck. What gold she has left is
stolen gold, unavailable to the United
States or to any other country enter
tanning objections to becoming a re-
ceiver of stolen goods Whatever
dTiblets of commodities she may have
for barter, will not get beyond the
countries nearest to Russia's borders.
Soviet Russia, in a word, is in state
of utter agricultural, industrial and
commercial collapse.
And yet, as regards the country S

future, Mr.. Hammond is optimistic.
He believes that ultimately a sane
democracy will be established there.
And, in this connection, he raises an
other objection to our resuming tr .ie
relations with Russia, even were Ia.
possible. An attempt on our part in
that direction would ALLEVIATE the good
will Of those who sooner or later will
gain control. If we maintain a pol
icy directly antagonistic to the So
viets, we shall have the friendship Of
those who later on will rule. If we
commit ourselves to pro-Sovlet de-
monstrations, we shall have gone on
record not merely as selfish, but as
stupidity selfish-guilty of a blind
cupidity which in the end would de-
feat is own greed.
The picture of Russia's present
plight which Mr.. Hammond present:
brings into ominous relief the increas.
ing imminence of the peril to Euro
pean peace which that plight pOr
tends. The gang of criminals anC
lunatics now in control must collapse
Out of 170,0O0,OOO Russian people
they have only the more or less vac
illating support of not more than 600,
600. Bolshevism must die; and in tn,
last convulsive agonies of that death
lies a deadly danger to all the neigh
borhood for hundreds Of miles arOunt
the slaughter-pit.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1921-03-23

back up their answer with arms, does
not determine it. And, as the New
York Herald has been saying, that
one thing must be determined be-
fore the allies can know what they
can get out Of the Germans, whether
by persuasion or by pressure.
How can it be determined Ger
tainly it cannot be determined by
military invasion. It can be deter
mined, however, by disinterested
third party, acting as arbiter of the
facts. This is the suggestion Of the
New York Herald, and if anybody,
ally, German or neutral, has a bet
ter or a more practical suggestion
it has not yet seen the light Of day.
Certainly the program Of enforce
ment announced by David Lloyd
George to go into effect if the Ger
mans do not accept by Monday the al
lies arbitrary demands without
change by so much as the crossing
of a ct" or the dotting Of an 81"
promises nothing Of substantial re-
suits. He says it will mean: Occu-
patton of Duisburg, the Ruhr dis
trict and Dusseldorf; levying an equi-
table tax On all German exports to
the allies and establishment of a Gus
toms line along the Rhine. Can any
body imagine that such a program
as that would make a dent on sixty
millions of people? And as for fin
ancial returns, all the indemnity the
allies could get in that way would
scarcely make a jingle in their inter
= national cash drawer.
Arbitration can do better than that,
hundredfold. When Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, brought the Russians and
Japanese together in what was in eff
= feet a proposition of arbitration, their
: war came to an end abruptly, the
5 terms of peace were fixed for the
two nations, and they went back to
{ their work and their debt paying.
: What was good for Russian and
1 Japan cannot be bad in impartial opin-
ion for the allies and Germany. There
Z are situations when men in the bit
: terness of their feelings are not them
selves capable of working out such
: a problem as this. When a powerful
: French official close to Premier
BRAND, in response to the suggestion
: Of an arbiter to find out the limit OF
| German capacity to pay, cries out;
That's crazy; there has been enough
! negotiation; for France the amount
now stands immovable!" it is appar-
ent that under such stress such peo-
> pie are not fit to bring about sOunC
settlement.
Not merely does neutral Holland
On the other hand, deprecate military
enforcement of the allies ''immov
able" terms, but Italy, herself one Of
the allies, opposes such abrupt meas
ures of force. Italy's losses of men
wealth and economic power from Ger
man and Austrian arms were as vas
I and irreparable as those of any ma
= ton in the terribly destructive war
But Italy, while insisting that Ger
: many must pay all she can pay with
in reason and safety, holds aloof from
Il military coercion.
