BERLIN, Nov. 22.-The pendulum
Of political events in Germany today
is steadily swinging toward the re-
dictionary right wing. One Of the
curious paradoxes of the situation
is that the German people as a whole
show more bitter opposition to an
autocracy, militaristic rule than
ever, and yet the conditions are more
and more ripening for a swift, ener.
getic coup by the reactionary ele-
ment to seize the reins Of govern
ment.
The German masses are so tired
and so undernourished, they have
become SO apathetic and SO en-
crossed In the daily struggle for
bread, that it would be compare.

mann falls-for the militarists to
swing themselves into the saddle.
They are backed by the agrarians
and the industrialists. many leaders
Of whom are themselves landed
junkers, while the industry has been
paying heavily for financing volun-
teer combat organizations, including
the secret nationalists armed groups.
But while the seizure Of dictatorial

impossible, for the reactionaries to
keep themselves in power.

Probably the first act Of the

proclamation declaring the Versailles
treaty null and void, which in turn
would invite a declaration of war
from France.
The hare-brained hopes Of the MILL

tionary type even include dreams Of
British Intervention alongside Of
Germany. They are cock-sure of
benevolent neutrality from America
In case of war with France.
Their slogan is:

Inlet them occupy half Of Ger

They are about as vague about
what will happen as Adolf Hitler was

AS a matter of fact, the gravest
danger in the whole situation is not
the possibility that the militariSts
will seize power, but in the Inevitable
reaction toward the extreme left fol-

time.
Apart from their fndescribably
reckless policy in regard to foreign
affairs, which IS directly playing into
the hands ofsFrance, the reaction
aries and militar1sts are playing a
game of internal politics almost In

evitable consequences should their
foolish plans materialize only half

Now they are trying desperately
to force the dissolution Of the Reich

new elections would be virtually i'm

coming winter. They want to rule
without government.

SCIENTIST TELLS WHY PIGS

"Why does a pig root, Daddy?"
j. H. Sheppard, swine specialist at the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
asked the question of his herdsman,
Daddy Geiken.
But Daddy could not answer this
question, which has puzzled swine
raisers the world over.
Mr.. Sheppard determined to find out
the answer by asking the pigs them
selves. Now, pigs don't talk, but they
can tell one a great many things by
the way they act and gTunt. So he ar
ranged a series of experiments and
the questions he asked the pigs were
these:
First: What will you do hogging
off corn with self-feed tankage?
Second: What will you do hogging
off corn with as much tankage as you
will eat?
Third: What will you do hogging
off corn with an alfalfa pasture to
Craze in?
Fourth: What will you do hogging
off corn alone?
And by watching the pigs in these
experiments the two hog experts were
able to partly answer the question
"Why does a pig root?"
Those who would like to know why
pigs root, how to raise orphan pigs
how a jug of water takes the hump
sunshine, and what is the cunning Of
the herdsman's art, can find the an.
swers to these questions in an inter.
esting little bulletin which has just
been issued by the experiment sta.
ton at the North Dakota Agriculture
college.

CAN DOUBLE MILK YIELD.

1t has been estimated that the av-
erage dairy cow of this country pro-
duces yearly about 1000 pounds of
milk, containing about 100 pounds of
butterfat.
Selection, feeding and breeding,
says the United States department Of
agriculture, could double this low v
erage. Doubling the present average
production would make it possible to
furnish the present supply of dairy
products with fewer COWS and at a
much less cost.
A study of the yearly butterfat and
income records of 1904 cow-testing
association cows for the period of
1910 to 1920 showed that the COWS
giving 100 pounds of butterfat a year
produced an average income for the
farmer above feed cost of about $40;
at 200 pounds of butterfat a year the
income above feed cost averaged
about $42; at 800 pounds of butterfat
the average income was about $72,
and at 1000 pounds Of buttefat the av-
erage income was about $106 a year
per COW.
While the cows in the last class av-
eraged four times as much production
as those in the first class, they gavs
an average income over feed costs
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1923-09-12

that was more than ten times as
great. A tabulation of the records
of dairy cows from districts where the
product was sold as milk showed
similar results. In all cases the high
producing group were the profitable
producers from the standpoint of in
come over cost of feed.
The group of high-producing cows
were also the group that produced the
milk and butterfat economically from
the standpoint of cost Of feed per
pound of butterfat or per 100 pounds
of milk. AS production increased
from the lowest producing to the
highest producing groups, the feed
cost per unit of production went down
In the economical production of milk
and ~butterfat, the largest gains are to
be obtained through the culling out OF
those COWS that produce less thar
1000 pounds of milk, containing less
than 100 pounds of butterfat.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
II Mixed with Sulphur 1t Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The oId.time mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as We are lV-
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" 1t is very popu-
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking n small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few applica-
tions, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
so attractive.

OBSERVE CORN SELECTION.

This week Montana farmers will
recognize the old saying that Corn
is king" In this Sirst part of Sep
tember the various torn raising coun-
ties of the state will observe corr Sc
lection days, when county agents will
lead farmers in the selection and stor-
age of the best of our own seed corn.
A. ]. Ogaard, agronomist ofthe Mon
tana State College extension service,
will direct the campaign for selection
of home grown seed corn in all parts
of the state.
Chester c. Davis, state commission
er of agriculture, has issued a proc
lamation calling for seed corr selec-
ton days in the corn growing counties
of Montana. In his proclamation Mr..
Davis gives the figures which show
clearly the growing Importance of
o T as an agricultural product in this
state.
The state department of agriculture
is joining with the Montana State
College extension service in urging
that all farmers grow their own seed
Early field selections in late August
are to be followed by careful selec-
tions in the early part of September
before the first killing frost, in order
that this state may produce it's OWL
seed corn, and that of the highest
quality.

NOT so BAD.

Farming is not so bad, after all
not if it is done right, at least. Any
way, this seems to be Steele county's
experience with diversified farming.
Steele county-in the heart of the
dairy country of southeastern Mime
sota-has a bank deposit of 1898 for
every man, woman and child of its to-
tai population of 10000 persons.
This figure indicates that the farmer
in Steele county, for most of Steele
county's wealth is in the hands of
farmers and most of its population
is composed of farmers and their fam
lilies, is not on the verge of ruin, and
that agricultural bankruptcy, if it ex-
lists elsewhere in Minnesota, does not
exist here.
The eleven state and national banks
in the county have total savings and
checking deposits Of $7,425, 1882, an
increase of 1882 ,O9O.5S over the
total deposits of June 80, 1918, five
years ago. All of which seems to
prove hat diversified farming with
succeSSfui where one-crop agriculture
has led farm operators into hard
times. But the 1898 average for him
self and the members of his family
does not represent all that the Steele
county farmer has. Most often he
owns his farm or is having little
trouble, if he is average in efficiency
and management, IN paying for it in
fair-sized installments. Many farm
ers have made a sufficient capital
from their farms so that they have
been able to sell or rent their farms
and 10Y to Owatonna or some of the
villages of the country or go to Cali
fornia and retire from active life.
No, farming is not so bad, after all
Not when it is done right.-Owatonns

VIGOR IN BREEDING
STOCK

Health and vigor in a poultry flock
are absolutely essential if one hopes
to make the enterprise pay dividends.
These conditions are vitality neces-
sary for profitable egg production and
more so when breeding and repro
duction are considered. Health and
vigor should be given first consider
alton even over and above exception
al show room quality or surpassing
productive capacity. Once a flock be-
gins to deteriorate physically and is
allowed to reproduce its kinds, all
ends are defeated and ruin is in the
offing. Blood will tell, they say, but
if the stamina in the blood has de-
parted it tells only on itself, land most
bitterly.
To the eye of the skillful breeder,
hens are not all alike and the greater
his skill the more numerous and mi
mute the variations he will note. Diff
ferences must be recognized and made
use of, if one is to travel far as a
breeder. Birds possessing the desira-
bic physical stamina for breeding are
not usually difficult to discover; they
advertise their wares in their atti-
tudes and habits. They are the noisy
ones, giving voice to the life that Is
in them by lusty Growing, cackling
and singing. They sing while they
work, and work with a will. The day
is always too short for them, so they
are off the roost at daylight and put
in long hours in diligent scratching.
Their Unsuitable appetites demand ac-
tivity and the activity demands ener-
gy, which in turn is the resultant Of
food consumption. The heavy feeders
are as a rule the heavy producers.
To utilize a large supply of food and
transmit it into golden eggs requires
a vigorous digestive system and it's
accompaniment, a good-sized, vigor-
Gus body in which all the other vital
processes are working tremendously
and efficiently. The hen is the
stronger breeder since she has not de-
pleted her reproductive energy by as
heavy egg production as the pullet
and has also rounded out into full and
complete maturity.
Certain body characters indicate
constitutional vigor in fowls. Desir-
able birds have short beaks and heads,
short necks, broad full chests, deep
abdomens and sturdy legs. Crow
headed, narrow bodied, droopy, knock
kneed birds have no place in a breed
ing flock, if anywhere. The bird with
a full eye, proud carriage, sleek, neat
feathers and saucy boldness shows
vigor. All feminine traits are to be
looked for in a hen; while a male, on
the contrary, should present decidedly
masculine traits and bearing. In
other words, masculine hens and ef-
Terminate males are not wanted in the
poultry yards.
In addition, the up to date breeder
will endeavor to meet the demands OF
the breed standards in type ano
feather, and put as much of show
quality as possible into the stock. He
will study his birds for deficiencies
and disqualifications and eliminate
the undesirable. Wherever possible
he will favor the birds with produc,
ton records of value, and if they d.
not fall down in the other qualifica.
tions, utilize them to the limit in fill,

twice the amount of corn, making
two parts of cracked corn to one part
of wheat. This scratch feed is to be
fed twice a day in a deeper litter.
The dry mash that should be before
the birds at all times consists of the
following: Equal parts of corr meal,
wheat bran, wheat shorts, ground oats
and meat scraps, and from two to
five ounces of salt to the hundred
pounds of mash. Care should be ia
ken to have no Jumps of salt in the
mash. If there is a large supply of
sour milk available, the amount of
meat scraps can be materially re-
duced, thereby lowering the cost of
the ration. If the pullets are where
they can run on a grass lot, or on a
rye patch, green feed need not be
supplied, but otherwise sprouted oats
should be fed. Always supply clean,
fresh water, grit, oyster shells and
charcoal.

FALL CARE Of
PULLETS

AT this time of the year it is very
necessary to take special care of the
pullets that are to be kept for winter
layers. 1t is upon the condition of the
birds at the beginning of their laying
period that profit or loss depends.
Birds that have contracted colds and
rOup never make as good a yearly
record as those that have been free
from disease.
Pullets should be placed in winter
quarters at once, for if they are al
lowed to roost around on fences and
in buildings where there is a draft.
they are very likely to contract colds
and these colds usually develop into
roup. The fall rains, with damp,
chilly weather, are very harmful to
the birds if they do not have access
to a dry, well ventilated house.
If the house intended for the flock
has been used in the previous year,
give it a thorough cleaning. Clean
out all the nests and all scratch ma
terial that is left on the floor. The
dropping boards should be cleaned.
The nests, dropping boards and roosts
poles should be scrubbed and placed
in the sun to dry and air out well.
After the house and all its fixtures
have been cleaned, it should be disin-
fected with some good coal tar disin-
fectant. This disinfectsnt can be ap-
piled by using a hand sprayer or a
bucket spray. In spraying the house,
be very careful to get the spraying
material or disinfectant into all the
cracks or hiding places of the mites.
Place clean nesting material in the
nests and new scratch material on
the scratching floor, and your house
is then ready to receive the flock.
Do not wait until the pullets are
nearly ready to start laying to place
them in the laying house. If they are
allowed to remain out on range unit
they start laying and then moved tt
the laying house they will usually
stop laying for a time. On the other
hand, if moved some time before start
ing to lay, they become accustomed Il
their new surroundings before the lay
II ing season starts.
After they have been put in wintel
quarters, a good LAYING ration shoul'
be fed. The following is the ration
used at this station and is giving goo'
) results: Cracked corn and who'll
wheat equal parts. When cold wealth
er sets in, change the ration by usini

WHEAT GREATEST HOG FEED.

Prof. L. A. Weaver, of the Missouri
University, says: "We fed a pen of
ten pigs wheat for one hundred and
twenty days, and corn to another pen
for the same time. 1t took 438 pounds
Of wheat to produce a pound of pork,
and 582 pounds OF corn. In other
words, the wheat produced gains fast
er by rs per cent, and it made a
pound of pork on one pound less grain.
With corn worth IS cents per bushel,
wheat is worth $1.10 as hog feed"
With good thrifty pigs wheat can be
marketed at cost, if not a profit.

kota experiment station, says: "Sev-
eral years ago my brother and / had a
load of hogs. Wheat at that time was
cheaper than corn. We purchased a
car load of wheat and fed those hogs.
We found that they did not grind It,
but that it came through them whole.
Then we ground it, and l never saw
hogs do better than they did on this
ground wheat"
