OUT DAIRY RATIoNs
Farmers Given Better Understanding
Of Value and Cost Of Various
Feeds Available.

A series Of 20 dairy feeding schools
were conducted during the spring
months In six New Hampshire coun-
lies by county agents, working coop
e~ratively with the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture and the State
Agricultural college. Seven more are
planned. In carrying u these schools
l~ecturing and formal talk have been
practically eliminated and the dairy
men are seated at tables. where they
figure out for themselves the compo-
sltion of various rations and compute
costs. Much enthusiasm has been
aroused.
That the results are worth while is
indicated by the statement of a Hook
sett farmer, who reported a saving of
81 a day, while another who attended
the school at Warner wrote the coun-
ty agent that he is now saving S36 n
month as a result OF feeding a ra-
ton that he figured out there. The
discussion provoked by the farmers
figuring these rations gives a better
understanding of the value and cost
Of the various feeds available than
any amount Of ~lecturing could posi-
bly, accomplish.

rows 30 to SO inches apart.
On the project under observation 1t
was intended to let the sunfowers get
fairly well matured, about the same as
corn. before putting them in the silo.
hut as a storm broke them down 1t was
necessary to put them in the silo
earlier. The yield was from 80 to 40
tons per acre. Cows fed on sunflower
silage kept up the usual flow of milk
as well as those which were fed on the
grain silage. Some of the big Holstein
cow ate as much as 80 pounds per
day. No ~unfavorable results could be
noticed in the flavor of the milk. While
this experiment has not gone far
enough to reach definite conclusions, 1t
indicates that sunfiowers may be con-
sidered a good crop for silage in some
localities.

WHITE ScoURc CAUSES LOSS

Tablets Worth Trying.

Many calves die OF white scours or
pneumo-enteritis, which Is a deadly
germ disease born In the calf and con-
trncted by way OF the navel or mouth
soon after birth. Medicinal treatment
usually fails, but triple sulpho-car-
bolate tablets are well worth trying,
under direction of a qualified vet

each newborn calf with polyvnlent

use 1t in double doses should n case
occur. Provide n new clean pen for
newborn calves. At birth sa%turnte

One Of Americas most astute states
men and lawmakers, Philander Chase
Knox, died suddenly In his home in
Washington last Wednesday. AS at
torney general, secretary OF state and
senator from Pennsylvania, and for
many years as n Of the leaders Of
the Republican party, Mr.. Knox won
high consideration and fame. He was
n candidate for the Republican nom
nation for the presidency In 1908, and
In recent years was especially promi-
nent as an answering opponent of
the Versailles treaty, and the author
of the resolution declaring the state
Of val with Germany and Austria at
an end. When he was attorney gen
eral, under President Roosevelt. he d.
rected the suit that smashed the
Northern Securities railway merger f;
ms secretary OF state, in President
Taft's cabinet, he did much to extend
American business in foreign lands.
developing the principle OF dollar d.
plomacy,' especially In the Far East.
Mr.. Knox often aroused the antago-
nism of others by his downright poll
cies, but his unadulterated American
ism was never questioned, and his
services TO his country were numer-
u and important.
1t was expected In Washington that
the death Of Senator Knox would re-
suit In brief delay in bringing the
peace treaties TO a final vote II the
senate.

The American delegation selected
Basil Miles as Its secretary, consid-
cred and approved the physical ar
engagements for the conference, n
then took up the matter of publicity
for the big meeting. The members
explained to the anxious representa-
tives of the press that this is a ques-
ton for the conference to determine,
but that they would place no obstacle
in the way of the fullest publicity pos
sible consistent with the expedition
of the conferences business.
Hundreds of idealists have written
to President Harding, under the i'm
preston that the conference is ex-
pected to accomplish the complete dis
armament of the world. In a reply L
one of them, the President has under
taken to dispel the illusion. In 1t he
says, as he has said before, that it
is %erroneous even to suggest that the
conference a go so far as to at
tempt universal disarmament, and
that IF we can get a reasonable limi-
tation we shall think that great things
have been accomplished" Continuing.
he says:
"By reasonable limitation / mean
something practicable that there is a
chance to accomplish, rather than an
ideal that there would be no chance t
realize. 1t is necessary to deal with
actuallties; to do the best possible.
Universal disarmament would be be-
yond hope of realization; even its de
STABILITY at this time might well be
questioned. Thousands of years Of his
tory recording the wars and contro-
versies Of mankind suggest that hu-
man nature would require revolution
airy reorganization to make universal
disarmament possible. A consideration
of the present state of the world must,
I think, enforce the conclusion that
this is not a hopeful time to undertake
that XII of revolution. To
undertake the impossible and fail
might leave our hast state worse than
our first. The attitude of the nations
warrants confidence that we will not
fail. but rather that substantial re-
suits will be accomplished, calculated
to lessen the armament burden and to
reduce the danger Of armed conflict"

Klan, and then Colonel Simmons him
self took the stand. He declared the
Khan Is moi anti-Catholic anti-Jew or
anti-negro; that 1t was not organized
for personal profit, and has no lawless
creed, and never has taken the law
into its own hands. In six years, he
asserted, he has received only $4,000
from the organization. He told the
committee he hoped 1t would make
the most thorough investigation of the
Klan, and promised that If one one
thousandth part of the charges against
1t were proved. he would call the grand
council together for the purpose of
d~isbanding the organization.
Colonel Simmons declared the at
tack on the Kan was started by a
Democratic paper of New York, to in
crease its circulation. and as a polit-
ical scheme to put the proposition for
an investigation up to the Republican
congress, and that certain other met
ropolitan papers had to fall into line
to save their circulation.
II the council of the League of Ma
lions has decided on the division of
Upper Silesia between Germany and
Poland on the lines reported in dis
patches from Europe. the reactionary
elements In Germany will be given a
fine chance to regain some of their
lost power. Though the reported so
luton Of the problem is a compromise,
and gives Germany a considerable
share Of the manufacturing region of
Upper Silesia. including the districts
Of Gleiwitz, Hindenburg and part of
Beuthen, the Germans are highly dis
pleased with the decision. The mon
archie press Is bowling for revenge,
and the radicals and conservatives unite
In ~denouncing the partition as a "crim-
inal act" The almost immediate re-
suit is likely to be the resignation of
the cabinet, and If Chancellor With
is thus forced out, 1t Is most probable
that Doctor Streseman will come into
power as his successor. He, as has
been said before In these columns, is
at heart a ~reactionary, and is bitter
against the entente allies and the
United States. Meanwhile. according
to rumors. certain Of the Silesian cit
les awarded to Poland are preparing
to fight to stay in Germany. The old
German military bodies that were dis
banded when the league troops took
charge in the district, are getting to-
gether again. and arms hat were
buried instead of surrendered, are be-
ing dug up. The prospect is far from
peaceful.
