German View

many's immediate future depends
upon the success of the Anglo French
pact, in the opinion of George Bern
hard, editor of the Vossische Zeitung,
who joins with other editors in de-
signaling the conference between
Ramsay Macdonald. the British
prime minister, and Edouard Herriot
the French premier, as marking the
turning point in European postwar
politics.
While official quarters obviously
are deeply concerned over the out
come of the week end barley between
the premiers, the govrnment of Chan
cellor Marx, is far from assuming
that the road to an International po-
litical and economic reconciliation
has been cleared of some of its most
nenacing obstacles. and fully con-
scious that such has vet to be aeon
plished in the direction of creating an
suspicious atmosphere for n complete
and happy contamination Of the
Dawes report
Some Of the most essential pre-
liminaries connected with giving the
provisions Of the proposals of the ex-
perts the necessary legislative for
mulas have sufficiently advanced to
warrant the preQlCtlOH tudI tiS
Marx cabinet will be able to present
laws for the consideration Of the
Reichstag in mid-July. These will
chiefly concern the measures needed
to legalize the Germanization Of the
federal railways into Il bonded trust:
a bill for funding the new bank OF
emission and the governments large
~ amplified program of tax and Gus
toms revenues measures.
The advance of the negotiations
concerning the issuance of industrial
debentures is said to be making less
satisfactory progress. as French pri-
vate interests are aiming to have
these obligations levied on specific
individual industrial possessions. in
stead Of permitting Germany to Sc
cure the issue of Industrial obliga-
tons through the imposition of a
huge blanket mortgage. g
Industrialists are sternly opposing
the alleged French plan Of segrega-
ton in a manner which would even
tually permit holder to foreclose on
optional plants, ensuring the pick OF
the holdings.

a heavy coat of oil or grease so that
they will not rust. The sickles should
be removed and stored in dry place
after having been given good over

Last Finishing Touches
Help to Show Animals

There are a good many little last
minute finishing touches that will help
make an animal show to best advan-
tage. advises John w. Bartlett, dairy
husbandman at the New Jersey State
College Of Agriculture. New Bruins
wick.
From now until show time every
available minute must be used to train
the show cattle to lead and pose. This
means considerable work and Is an
everyday task. The leadsman should
walk backward slowly and teach the
animal to follow gracefully. This
means that the animals head Is held
high and that when led into line to be
judged she stands with her feet
squarely under her body. Attention
must be paid to the condition of the
feet of each animal. If they are ir-
regular they may be pared down with
chisel or knife.
1t is not too early TO start polishing
horns. This can be done by scrnpins
with n piece of glass or rasping with
rounded file. The next step Is to
apply emery cloth vigorously until nll
rough places are removed. Following
this paste of sweet oil and pumice
stone should be rubbed on the horns
until they feel hot. They are then
ready for the final polishing with
strip of cloth applied as though shin
Ing shoes. Clipping brings best re-
suits when done just before the show.
If the skin and hair seem dirty, the
body of the animal should be washed
with soap and water and rubbed dry.
Blankets are to be used at all times
during the last days previous to show
ing. Plenty of grooming helps to
make the hide pliable and gives the
hair more bloom. Feed the show ami
NAL hay rather than grass during the
last two weeks, as grass-fed animals
are npt to lose flesh at show time
when hay only is available.
