Essen. Germany, Jan. s.-Advanc,

:
troops of the French army, largely with
technical equipment, have already
reached the neighboring town of kett-
wig (seven miles southwest of Essen),
land the section between Dusseldorf and
Essen is half-covered by French mill

Chauffeurs, travelling between the two
places, are said TO have been stopped

In order to avoid friction as much as
POSSIBLE, the authorities at Essen kept

The municipal administration last

viting mob violence and flirting with
death; he knew it and prepared to
meet il. The resentment was spon-
taneous and instantaneous. He chal-
lenged the supremacy of the union.
Those in the mob undoubtedly believed
that it was an attempt to return to

been unioniZed.
There were, of course, fatal omis
sionS of duty on the part of public
officials, and neither the officials nor
the public wanted troops TO protect
the operator in his misunderstanding
operations. 1t might have been stopped
by the sheriff, by the officers of the
miners union, by public sentiment, but
all were for the union and all believed
that an attempt was being made to
destroy it.
This statement unfortunately can
not end here. Clothed with all the
charitable excuses above set out, these
furnish no justification for the braZen
audacity with which subordinate Of

Several Advantages in
Grinding Feed for Stock

The American people are strong on
evidence, and rightly so. A man is
convicted or acquitted in the courts on
evidence. DIR. w. A. Henry, formerly
dean of the College of Agriculture,
University Of Wisconsin, makes the
following statement in his book on
Feeds and Feeding:
THE dairy COW giving large flow
of milk is working as hard as the
horse ever does, and. this true, any
grain given her should be ground or
crushed if not otherwise easy Of mas
tication and digestion. Corn and oats
should generally, and wheat, rye, bar
ley, kafir, and milo always, be ground
or chopped and roots should be sliced
or pulped. For animals with poor
teeth or for young animals before
their teeth are we'll developed, grind
ing grain in general is advisable. For
horses which are hard-worked and
spend much of their time away from

Our domestic source of tannin, the

erly developed, say officials of the de-
partment, although American sumac
contains practically as much tannin as
the Sicilian variety. However, owing
to lack of care in gathering and curing
the leaves of this wild plant, which
grows in vast quantities on unculti-
waited land in the eastern and middle
western states, the domestic article
now on the market is inferior in quail
ity and brings lower price than the

nevertheless obliged TO import two
thirds of its supply. Home producers
are therefore assured OF broad do

Less certainty exists in regard to the
market for mutton and lamb. Lamb
and mutton are high-priced, and are
considered as luxuries by most people.
In consequence sheep and lamb prices
show greater sensitiveness to variations
In general economic conditions than
any other important commodities, and
in recessions, as well as in advance,

Time to Cut Sudan Grass
When First Heads Show

Crops authorities at the Nebraska
Agricultural college say that accord
ing to tests the best time to cut sudan
grass for hay is when the first heads
are showing. When cut at this stage
the greatest amount of forage of high
feeding value is obtained. There is,
however, no great difference in the
yield and quality Of sudan hay cut
earlier or later than this stage as it
makes good hay when cut over con-
siderable period of time. Sudan hay
Is a little difficult to cure and some
care Is needed to cure it so 1t will
keep in good condition.

First Estimate of Invisible Exchange"

that there has been much less move
ment in the export of capital
Mr.. Hoover explains the phenome-
non of continued large importations of
gold despite the adverse balance of
trade by suggesting it may be due to
the fact that there has been a large
export of our currency which is being
held and used abroad and that there
are some evidences that European
countries have increased their open
balances in the United States and their
investments in American securities.
Having for the first time attempted
to trace down the items Of invisible
exchange, Mr.. Hoover announces that
it is proposed to do so annually here
after and that through the co-Opera-
ton of banks and merchants compre-
hensive estimates will be made for the
year 1923 as soon as the year comes
to an end.

Lime Spreader Is Most
Useful Farm Implement

When farmers begin to use lime for
sweetening sour soil in order to grow
clover they can well afford to pur-
chase good lime spreader. A lime
spreader will pay for itself in spread
ing a few carloads of limestone be-
cause 1t will enable the farmer to ap-
ply the lime much more evenly and to
gauge its application more accurately.
Only by so doing will he get the maxi
mum return for the money spent in
lining.
In addition to this a lime spreader
will save great deal of heavy work
that would be encountered in spread
ing limestone with shovel or by 9TH
er makeshift means.
Not every farmer needs a lime

Chinch Bugs in Silage
Render Feed Worthless

Silage corn, when heavily infested
with chinch bugs, should not be put
into the silo, as cattle will eat little
of it. This was the experience Of
silo owners in chinch bug areas of the
state last year. The pungent odor
given off by masses of crushed bugs
renders the feed unpalatable, result
ing in complete loss. Those silo own
ers who live in the chinch bug infested
portions of the state should bear this
in mind, as it may save considerable
time and work. In case the bugs are
not numerous in the silage corn, no
harm will result, but where the bugs
can be found in masses between the
sheath and the stalk it is useless to
put the corn up for silage-A. L. Ford,
