Skimmilk for Hens Saves on Meat
Scraps

On farms having plenty of
skimmilk the use of skimmilk in
stead of meat scraps for hens is a
good way to save money this win
ter, suggests A. c. Smith, chief in
poultry husbandry, University
Farm, st. Paul.
Experiments at University Farm
have shown that 2 gallons of skim
milk equal a pound of meat scraps
in the poultry ration. Liquid but
termilk may be used instead and
has the same feeding value. Skim
milk may be fed either sweet or
sour, but should be fed the same
way regularly.
Feeding milk to hens is very
easy, as it is given simply as a
beverage. No water should be CIV
en-, but the milk supply should be
available at all times. The best
plan is to have a receptacle hold
ing enough for "a hours. Galvaniz-
ed iron vessels should be avoided.
Porcelain-lined or cast-iron con-
tanners are good.
Facts about skimmilk as feed
for growing chicks, and general
feeding suggestions for all kinds of
poultry, together with the results
of skimmilk feeding experiments
are given in Minnesota special but
letin 134, free to anyone from
county agents, high school agricul-
turists or the Mailing Room, Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul. This publ
cation also discusses skimmilk as
feed for hogs, calves and dairy
cows.

Peatland Barley Resistant To scab

Peatland Barley Resistant To Scab
Barley growers, many of whom
have become badly discouraged by
losses from diseases such as
scab and stem rust may take heart
from the results of this years
trials at the Minnesota Agricultural
Experiment Station, University
Farm, st. Paul. In a severe cpl
demic of scab, Peatland showed
considerable resistance, although
the other commercial varieties
were very badly effected, including
Trebi, Manchuria, Velvet. Glabron,
and others.
Peatland is also very resistant to
stem rust. Although it has been re-
commended primarily for peat
soils, it does well on any type OF
soil, yields about the same as Man
churia and is of equal quality for
mailing. Peatland's chief disadvan-
tage is its rough awns.

Attacks on Roosevelt.

On the eve of the presidential prefer
entail primaries in Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania, regarded as the definite
turning point in the Roosevelt campaign
for the Democratic nomination, slashing
attacks on The New York Governor are
given wide publicity. 1t is obvious that
the anti-Rooseyelt Democrats feel that
unless they can strike Roosevelt a body
blow in those two populous Eastern
States he will be almost unstoppable in
the Democratic National Convention.
Thomas L. Chsdbourne, a New York
lawyer, who has been a large contrib
utor TO the Democratic party campaigns
in the past issued for publication today
a letter to Homer Cummings of Con-
necticut, a former chairman of the
Democratic National Committee and at
present a supporter of Roosevelt In
his letter Mr. Chadbourne said that
Gov. Roosevelt's speech appealing for
the forgotten man had shocked him
unspeakably. This Is the same Roose-
velt speech upon which Al Smith turned
his guns, terming it demagogic, at the
jefferson day dinner here.
Mr.. Chadbourne charged Gov. Roose-
welt with fake progressiveism In
that he is like other Democrats who
are trying TO prevent the nomination Of

tive from justice and expressed wish
to return to Sing Sing and surrender
Accompanied by the superintendent he
went there and now he is back In his
cell. The warden, however, is going to
ask the Governor for clemency for him.
This case demonstrates that con-
science remains q potent influence In
the lives Of men. Bannigan was prob
ably in no danger Of recognition after
more than twenty years. His old iden-
tity had been obliterated. He could
have gone on indefinitely in his life as
mission worker. without incurring
suspicion. Fear of discovery and iden-
tification as an escaped convict had
doubtless been allayed by his many
years of service outside" He was, in
all practical respects, a different man
from the one who with four others fol-
lowed the lead of big Bill Green, the
originator Of the escape plot. But that
still small voice" kept whispering to
him and he could not be content until
he had confessed and surrendered.
Now he goes back voluntarily, and it
is to be hoped that he will be given
the grace of the pardon which he has
earned by his decentralization and
his honest life for more than two
decades.

Conscience.

A man walked into the Office Of the
warden of Sing Sing Prison in New
York the other DAY and told the head
OF that institution that he was Walter
Bannigan, who escaped from its walls
twenty-one years ago last October. He
was then serving a term of fourteen
years and four months for assault and
blackmail. II he had remained in
prison and behaved himself there he
would have been released in 1920 1t
was on the seventh OF October, 1910,
that he, with five others, broke out OF
Sing Sing. One of his companions in
escape weakened at once and went
back and the others were eventually re-
taken, but Bannigan was never found
He told the warden that after his flight
he learned the painters trade and fol-
lowed it for several years. Early in the
Great War he enlisted in the Canadian
forces and went overseas and served
faithfully at the front. After the war
he returned TO New York and became
a contracting painter. In 1929 his
business failed, in the great slump of
that season, and, almost broke. Ban
nigan drifted into mission, where he
was converted. As John Casey he
eventually became one of the mission
workers. Recently 1t was noticed that
he was restless. A few days ago he
went TO the superintendent of the mis-
sion and confessed that he was fugi-

supporters cite Woodrow Wilson in re-
buttal of the taunt that the Governor
doesn't get down to brass tacks on
political issues. 1T was a famous say
ing of President Wilson," Rooseveltian
declares, that you can't conduct pub
lie debate on Cstails-you can only have
a public debate on principles" Gov.
Roosevelt, his admirer claims, is adher-

Congress customarily doesn't hand out
bouquets to officials OF the District Of
Columbia, brickbats being more COM
mon. But during recent hearings be-
fore House appropriations subcommit-
tee some sweet-smelling posies were be-
slowed upon william w. Bride, corpo-
ration counsel to the District. Repre-
sentative Cannon, Democrat of Missouri,
chairman of the committee, compli-
mented Mr. Bride on his very fine rec
ord" and commended the most efficient
way the work is handled in the corpo-
ration counsels office" What evoked
this compliment was Mr. Brides reve-
lation how Police Court cases are expe-
dited Two or three years ago" he
explained, I'VE were abuot $50 jury
cases behind. 1t took about two years,
or at least one and one-haf years, be-
fore a jury case was tried. The net
result was that the interest of witnesses
or complaining parties had ceased. or
that witnesses had disappeared, leaving
very little chance of securing a convic-
tion. Now / am very happy to say
that we can try our cases within two
weeks. I have but one single case on
my file over 80 days old, and in that
instance the man is in hospital with
two broken legs"
One OF the quaintest explanation"
of Secretary Stimson's real purpose In
visiting Europe is published in a ma
tional radical weekly under the sigma
ture of its Washington correspondent.
He saws that Col Stimson wants to find
out how far Great Britain and France
are disposed to go in supporting the
United States, in case of future con-
fiict with Japan, to be provoked by the
United States forcible prevention Of
the dismemberment Of China!

Senator Borah has had one gathering
dust in the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee for four or nve years. The
administration is far rom convinced
that a pro-recognition expression would
be O.K'd by Congress. 1t would have
no mandatory effect. The President
does not have to heed the Senate's "ad-
vice and consent" either to recognize

purely an executive prerogative.

Roosevelt. But he went further than
most Of the Roosevelt critics and de-
clared that Roosevelt. II nominated,
would lose to his Republican opponent.
And finally Mr.. Chadbourne gave list
Of Democratic leaders, any one Of whom,
he said. would be able to win the elec-
ton for President. Incidentally. Al
fred E. Smiths name was not included
in this list. He mentioned Ritchie,
Young, Baker, Corden Hull. Traylor and
Garner.
Referring to Gov. Roosevelt's speech
dealing with the forgotten man." Mr..
Chadbourne said that Roosevelt had
betrayed q willing to play upon the
irritations, suspicious and bitterness of
these troubled and unhappy times. "
Does Mr.. Chadbourne intend the public
to believe that the Democratic nominee
for President, whoever he may be. Will
not play upon the bitterness growing
out Of hard times? 1t does not seem
possible that Mr.. Chadbourne himself
believes that the Democrats, once the
campaign is under way, will not under
take to make hard times one OF the
principal issues of the campaign. He
must know that his party has been
banking on hard times as the great
factor in the political situation. How
ever, II Mr.. Chadbourne is correct in
his estimate and the Democratic nomi-
nee does not make the best OF hard
times in the national campaign. 1t will
be a pleasant surprise to the Repub-
llcans. 1t looks rather as though Mr..
Chadbourne'S objection to the use OF
hard times as an issue ran to Roosevelt
as a candidate
At the same time that Mr. Chad
bourne's letter was made public, Mrs.
Mary T. Norton, Representative from
New Jersey, dubbed the Roosevelt fol-
lowing in Massachusetts, which is oppos-
ing Alfred E. Smith in the primary as
political bigots." Mrs. Norton delivered
her blast in a speech in Boston, assert
ing that ''the political charlatans who
have deserted Gov. Smith are mad"
The bitterness of the Roosevelt op-
position, as indicated in these attacks
upon the Roosevelt candidacy by Mr..
Chadbourne and Mrs Norton, has
reached high degree. 1t can scarce
ly fail to make the Roosevelt supporters
resentful, and to render the task diff
cult for any other standard bearer than
the New York Governor, provided Roose-
velt is stopped" by the tactics Of his
present opponents. But these fiercely
fighting anti-Roosevelt Democrats either
have not thought Of that or do not care.
In New Jersey lives Mayor Frank
Hauge of Jersey City. one of those most
violently opposed to the nomination Of
Gov. Roosevelt. Indeed, he is given
credit in some quarters for directing the
fight. Hague is the boss Of the Demo-
cratic party in New Jersey. Roosevelt
will have no delegates from that State,
1t is generally conceded. The Jersey
Democratic leader plans to throw the
delegation on the first ballot to Gov.
Moore, a mere gesture. What he does
with the delegation later remains to be
seen. II Mrs. Norton is talking by the
book, 1t would appear that the Jersey
delegation would go quickly to Mr..
Smith.

the Judgment of the Newark Evening
News, with the explanation: 1T re-
uuires an amendment to the Constitu-
ton permitting Congress by two
thirds vote to designate special elections
for further amendments, amendments
to amendments or repeal Of clauses in
the Constitution. Each State would
vote on the proposal as unit, ratitlca-
ton of the change being effected by
three quarters vote, as now. When the
country is allowed to repeal the eight
eenth amendment 1t will not be by any
such tedious method as that. 1t is in
teresting that with the whole Demo-
cratic stable, with only two exceptions,
groomed and present at washington for
the Jefferson dinner, not one small ray
of comfort was allowed to beam on the
prohibitionists. The well known vets
gave the question only passing refer
ence, if any; it remained for the most
notable of the drys present to WELD the
biggest club against the drys."
The prospects are analyzed by the
Lynchburg News, which states as to
the future: "Wets Who look upon it
as the most feasible method to bring
about modification or repeal will be
for it. Drys who cannily perceive the
rising tide in favor of a referendum
on the question and fear favorable
action in that direction by both politi-
cal parties in the near future may be
for it as postponing submission and
giving them breathing time for
reforming their forces and engaging in
more intensive educational campaigns
for prohibition. In the confusion there
will be little thought given to the politi-
cal philosophy of submitting future
constitutional amendment proposals to
the people rather than to their repre-
sentativeS in legislature or convention
assembled The broader, and even
more important, aspects of the question
will have to wait the decision on the
fight between liquor trade suppression
or liquor trade control. 1t will have
to wait, like so many other questions,
on settlement of the prohibition issue"
The logic of the situation is brought
cut by the Buffalo Evening News, with
the statement that denial to the peo-
pie of the right to pass upon any queS-
ton is un-Arnerican." The Chatta-
nooga Times condemns gifts borne by
Greeks" as indicative of widespread
ory terror due to the rising tide of
sentiment for repeal" The New Orleans
Times-Picayune advises "A prohibi-
ton referendum probably will not be
ordered at the earliest before the
national elections. In that case the
issue will have to be dealt with by a
new Congress The question posed for
immediate action Is the legalization and
stiff taxation of beer to simplify the
problem and tighten
the tax burdens bearing too heavily in
other directions Relief by that device
can be made available by the present
congress in its present session. 1t
would be a very present and powerful
help to budget balancing and tax
relief"

Bvrd's Prohibition Scheme
Produces Friendly Comment

His proposal to amend the Consti-
tuition to provide for popular control
of prohibition has brought former Gov.
Hairy F. Byrd of Virginia into The
forefront of the national liquor con-
troversy. His plan, as unfolded at the
Jefferson dinner, is generally viewed
as an advance in the direction OF re-
moving prohibition from politics, al
though some consider 1t cumbersome.
Tine method" according to the
Providence Bulletin, lis secondary to
the fact that Mr.. Byrd has thrown
his undeniable strength on the side OF
moderation. The gain of this Virginian
is mighty significant to the antl-pro-
hibitionists, OF the switch in sentiment
against the law that is noticeable from
one coast to the other"
since he is personally dry" thinks
the Roanoke World-News, Mr.. BYRD
leaves it to the opponents of the pres
ent situation to prepare the formula
they would substitute in such an elec-
ton as a substitute for the present at
tempt at prohibition. Save that ne IS
opposed to the Raskob plan, by which
a Single State could vote itSelf out from
under the Constitution, Mr.. Byrd does
not indicate now he would meet vary
ing conditions of different parts OF the
country. For a method OF adminlStra-
ton that suits Virginia might prove
quite unacceptable in some other
States. ne aoes not go into the con-
dition that inevitably arises wnen one
State attempts to dictate to another
how it shall handle its social prob
lens"
The fact that former Gov. Byrd is
drv is emphasized by the ST.. Louis
Times, with the statement that this
courageous prohibItionlst not only Ia
yors a referendum, but he suggests that
it pave the way for the employment OF
legal machinery to work out the de-
tails, thus abandoning the inhibitlve
bindings of our present fundamental
ana rigid law" The Baltimore Evening
Sun also makes the favorable appraisal:
Viewed as a contribution to politics,
the amendment is highly significant.
Ihis is true because Il was proposed by
a politician fIom Virginia, one OF the
oriest of States and one of those most
completely under the heel OF the Anti
Saloon League a few years ago"
y X
THE plan will certainly be con-
sidered," declares the Richmond News
Leader, and it may be accepted by the
party spokesmen, North ana South. II
1t is, Harry Byrd will be rewarded for
his consistency and courage by seeing
the Democratic party meet this ines
capable issue in a spirit of complete ac-
cord" The Charleston Is. c. Evening
Post offers the opinion that the adop-
ton OF such an amendment would take
several years, but it is an advance to-
ward freedom to modify the prohibition
law, which the extreme drys have held
is fixed forever in the Constitution and
never to be reconsidered."
He will find that it will evoke no
enthusiasm, for it is too procrastinating,
with too many high hurdles to over
come" thinks the Spokane Spokesman
Review, with the conclusion: Talk
about a mans walking a mile to get
