LIVE STOCK NOTES

A small amount of good quality
clover OF alfalfa hay seems to be
tremendously worth while in the
cattle ration.
Scrub lambs are a losing PROPOSE
ton. On the average they bring
S4.14 less per hundred than lambs
of desirable quality.
Live stock men know that silo
location affects time required to
feed. Silage should not have to be
hauled to distant feed hunks.
Worms are all that more insidi
Gus because their toll in dead lambs
does not usually come all at once.
but is spread over several months.
All thoroughbred race horses de-
scend in direct male line from three
stations. the ByerR Turk. the Oar
ley Arabian and the Godolphin
Bard.
There are certain factors that
have to be watched in feeding corn
silage to in-lamb ewes, namely con
dition or quality and amount. EX-
treme methods are always bad.
Pregnant ewes should receive
plenty of exercise. Unless the ewes
get exercise in fields or pastures,
an ARRANGEMENT which will require
them to walk 20 to 80 rods for their
feed is desirable.
Unsatisfactory results in planting
pastures have almost invariably
been traced to improper prepara-
ton for the ground or planting of
the seed. Pasture grass mixtures
must vary according to the soil and
the moisture conditions and must be
adapted to them.

Push March Pigs Along
for High Market Price

March farrowed pigs to feed them
out on new corn" says Prof. w. E.
Carroll. University of Illinois.
Most farmers figure that corn is
too high to feed spring pigs and
consequently pay dearly for their
new corn by taking lower price"
The heavy runs of the year come
in the fall and winter months and
generally depress the price" says
Professor Carroll. There was
difference of $120 in the cost of
producing summer-fed and the fall
fed hogs and market difference
of 1886 in favor of the 225-pound

sor Carroll declares. Thus there
was net difference of SS.36 in fa-
vor of the hog that was fed out on

Fur skins from grade Karakul rams

METHODS TO PREVENT

Rest Plan to Feed Well Be-
fore Pasturing.

Iowa farmers suffer many losses
from blOat that might be prevent
ed, believes f. S. wilkins. chief in
forage crop investigations at Iowa
state college With the increased
use of sweet clover pasture, the
possibility of blOat in cattle has
increased and care must be taken
not to turn the cattle onto the pas
ture too soon. The most severe
losses are found during the seasons
of heaviest rainfall, and precau-
tiOn must he taken in turning stock
onto wet fields.
Among the best methods to pre-
vent blOat in paSturing sweet clOv-
er and other legumes is to see that
stock are well fed before they are
turned onto the pasture. Some
good dry roughage will aid mate
rally in decreasing the danger Of
blOat.
Plenty of water should always
be available since thirsty stock are
likely 10 drink too much when they
have an opportunity and this in

a good practice to keep air-slaked
lime in the water and to keep
mixture of equal parts of salt and

all times. After the animals have

with moral crisis somewhat analogous
to the one which took place In France
during the reign Of Louis XVI. In
reality the old royalist France was dead
even before the Paris populace stormed
the Bastille on the fourteenth of July,
1889. What may bring consequences
for Germany almost as tragic as those
which took place in France during the
revolution Is the delusion one detects

In highly intellectual economic circles,
that the Hitler disease may be neutral
tied by giving him some share In the
government, while retaining the real
leadership in the hands of respectable
personalities like Bruening
1t Is strange that the experience OF
Italy has taught nothing to the Ger
man leaders. The same delusion was
entertained In Italy in regard to Mus
solini and his followers-not only by
political nonentlties such as Facta, who
was prime minister when Mussolini
took the power from him. but even by
wise and experienced statesmen like
old Giolitti They did not realize

Stirring Social Changes Imminent
In Germany as Hitler Party Gains

Hitler has discovered the kind OF elo-
ouence which appeals to 30 per cent
OF nation endowed with some mar
velous intellectual qualities, but COM
pletely lacking n political experience;
how could he consent to be in power
and surrounded by men OF ability who
would smile at his rhetorical utter
ances and his quack remedies?
There lies the danger: That Hitler
will become the master If chance al
lows him to come into power and that,
quickly learning how incapable he Is Of
performing his tremendous task, he will
be tempted TO try the eternal adven-
ture which Is the penalty of dictators
and the punishment Of the peoples who
believe In them: war with dangerous
and Machiavellian alliances-or, If not
war, an atmosphere of warlike unrest
which will make even more difficult the
work of European reconstruction.
II this does happen some day, the
fault will not rest with the honest
men-from Ebert to Hindenburg and
Bruening have guided Germany
under the republican regime. The fault
will rest with the coarse, materialistic,
bon1bsstic periods of the last Of the
Hohenzollerns, who took away from the
Germans what history had left them
OF political experience. What happens
today In Germany, what will possibly
happen tomorrow, should teach again
to all free nations one moral which
the sad fate OF Russia has already
taught us: That In spite of its many
daily inconveniences. only the exercise
of freedom is able, In the long run, to
save q people.

or turbo-electric type, but both have
such an arrangement of machinery and
boiler compartments that the greatest
safety will be obtained. It Is considered
possible for such ships to reach this
port from midocean even when suffer-
ing serious damage.
Divide Boiler Rooms.
To meet this end boiler and engine
rooms will be made In two groups so
that only under particularly unfortu-
nate conditions would all propelling
facilities completely break down. If the
forward boiler rooms become flooded
both engine rooms fore and aft could
be supplied by the aft boiler room. If
both the boiler and engine rooms for
ward were flooded those aft could con-
tinue the burden Of driving the ship.
While the average passenger on
large liner seldom gives thought to the
intricacies Of boilers or turbines except
In so far as they may speed or impair
his progress, naval engineers are keenly
interested in the type of boilers pro-
posed for these new ships.
Many unique features will make these
unseen but vitality important parts of
the ship the marvel of marine engineer
ing. What the designers of these new
liners hope to do is to put modern
power house ashore. on the waves. Not
that they are actually going to move
such gigantic affairs, but with Is boil
ers each capable of generating 1000
horsepower 1t Is believed that no n1er-
chant ship afloat will have a greater
unit output per boiler.
Eficient Boilers Needed.
In the rigid competition of North
Atlantic traf1c 1t is imperative for any
ship to maintain frequent sailings and
keep to the swiftest possible schedule.
To achieve this end the rated total
horsepower of the ship can be obtained
with two boilers always idle. And that
fact will have a most important part
in the scheme for frequent SAILING
schedule, especially during the Summer
peak OF travel when the ships will
make round trip every two weeks by
virtue OF four and a half day crossing
each way.
What is the most frequent cause of
delay in high-speed shipping? The
answer Is found-not in rough weather
or other similar causes, but in the
prosaic task Of cleaning boilersI II one
can keep at top speed by using eyery
available boiler then the cleaning time
must be spent in port. And there with
every hour OF time comes q gradual
shifting OF proft figures into the red.
With two spare boilers not In use even
under the demands of the swiftest
passage, much Of this necessary clean
ing can be done at sea and a substan-
tial saving effected.
The oil-burning boilers contemplated
will have the highest eficiency and
lowest weight of any in the high speed
express service. But no preheaters will
be employed. In these days when en-
gineers attempt to squeeze every last
bit of power from the fuel this fact ap-
pears as an innovation. It Is In line

What the Progressives Want

In 1925 the income taxpayers with
net incomes Of more than 100000 re-
ceived 2l per cent of the total invest
ment income. In 1929 they received SO
per cent.
During the years 1925 to 1929, l4.700
individuals with net incomes in excess
OF 100000 per annum increased their
investment income and probably their
capital by more than SO per cent; the
other classes lost ground"
Assails 'Extortionate" Tariff.
If. as the President has said, we are
facing an emergency second only to
war, then we should not hesitate to i'm
pose taxes accordingly. The Progress
slVes in Congress will support increased
taxes on large incomes: on huge inheri-
tances, on gifts In contemplation of
death made with intent to avoid tax
alton OF property devised by will. They
Will not support, and they will oppose,
sales tax upon the necessities Of life.
Already there is an invisible" but
extortionate tax on many of the neces-
stiles and conveniences of life. In the
form of an indefensibly high tariff
Progressives strongly opposed the pas
sage Of the Smoot-HaWley tariff. It
was handed to the country with the
assurance that 1t would protect the
American working man" and increase
or maintain prosperity.
The results we all know Our foreign
trade has decreased billions of dollars.
Other nations in self defense have set
up tariffs that bar our goods and in
crease unemployment in the United
States. Wages, instead OF being main
tained or increased in this country, as
promised by the proponents of the pres
ent tariff law, have been reduced by the
very industries most highly protected

This raises Immediately the question,

by administration sources at $4,000

The answer of Progressives is that
the burden of increased taxation nee

politicians of the old school to put q

"Rich Get Richer"
The unwisdom OF the policy Of tax
ing those least able to bear 1t is finally
apparent TO at least one usually con-
servative and influential member of the
House Ways and Means Committee,
Representative Bacharach He has said
recently:
"A study of available facts shows that
at least some individuals are fully able

considerable support for the statement

years the number of our taxpayers has
steadily decreased, giving an indication
Of the unsatisfactory distribution OF

Water Tenure
 Rights of tenure in tidal wa ters has never been recognized as a fixed national policy at any time in history. To be sure, in he remote past, English sover- eigns and princes of the conti- nent did assign to some favorite certain exclusive privileges oa tidal waters, but with the ad vancement of human liberty and establishment of human rights all such tenure Of tidal waters was abrogated and the system abolished. would call your at tention to the fact that a sec tion of Magma Charta is devot- ed to abrogation of these privi- 'eges set up by British Sover- eigns. Ancient Roman law clear- ly recognized the public rights in all oceans and arms of oceans and in the eStuarieS of rivers. So did the later laws of Englanl and of all European countries All decisions of American courts nave been adverse to those who set up a claim of exclusive priv::- ]ege on tidal waters.

 To Be More Explicit
 When in 1924 Congress pass ed the act for regulation of the Alaska fisheries, giving the &c., cretary of Commerce such regu- latory powers as are usua'iv conferred on governmental fish cry agencies, the report of th Committee on Merchant Marina and Fisheries carried a para graph to this effect:
 Alaska Water Tenure System
 At the present time it is the policy of the Department (Con- merce) as one means of control of fishing to grant a limited rumber of f,ring permit, .-,i'', in any designated area and to exclude all others from fishing rights therein. Your committee has reached the unanimous and positive opinion that this prac- tice of granting exclusive fish, ing privileges should cease, and in this section CD it is declared that all regulations authorized to be made shall be of general application, and that no exclus- i've or several right of fishery shall be granted, nor shall any citizen be denied the right to take fish in waters where fishirS is permitted.
 Despite the vigorous language Of the report from the commit tee and the indOrSement thereof by Congress in the enactment Of an. apparently iron-clad. law against several or exclusive fishery rights being granted by the Secretary of Commerce, the intent of Congress has been ig

In three years from the dato of the act of Congress the De- partment of Commerce had in creased the number of exclusive fishing privileges in southeastern Alaska alCne from 326 to 575, or on increase of 249. This in t1:c face of the statutory declara- ion that exclusive rights should not be granted. In the three years mentioned the catch of salmon by the exclusive right fishing method was increased from 57 per cent to 73 per cent of the total catch, while the catch by universal method Wac decreased from 32 per cent to 1f per cent of the total catch. In ether words the fishing pOpula- ton of the southeastern coast of Alaska Wos deprived of Ovel one-half of the fish they Werc accustomed to take annually, and that half was largely grant ed to non-reeidents operatir 2 under exclusive fishing right5 given to them by the Depart ment of Commerce

The extended periods of damp, rainy

but also the growth Of plant diseases.
Rose black spot Is, for example. ncreas-

made to keep this pest from defoliating
the plants. Defolistion at this tln1
means a second crop Of leaves late in
Summer, with a tendency to prolong

and as a result there is liable to be
much Winter injury.
