Corn silage and roots are very good feeds if the ,.cow has no pasture, or if it be before pasture sea - eon. The succulent feed shoed iii elude liberal allowances of clover or alfalfa, by, or a roughege elelz in pro- tein. But the tow should not be fed more roughage than she will eat up cieau. If fed too much there will be dagner of her getting into the habit of eating the most palatable parts of the rough- age and wasting much good feed. The cow on pasture will need no grain, but a little roughage is good. Of course, if the animal is thin inflesh it would be well to feed some grain; but the amount should depend upon her coa- dition entirely, • When the cow has been properly fea there will be no necessity of medi- cine, contrary to the views of many dairymen. A bran mash over which some warm water has been poured is a very good ration, especially in told weather. Ground oats mixed with grain and a pail of warm water should be given, for her feverish condition and exhausted body at this time de- mand considerable water, and this should he warm. Be careful that she is not exposee to cold draughts. Feed very lightly on grain at 'the be- ginning of the milking period, allow- ing a liberal amount of silage, roots and hay. As the cow gains in strength and resumes her normal eondition, the grain portion of her ration should be increased, Keep increasing .gradually as long as she responds to the extra feed. When she has reached her maxi- mum flow of milk she should be fed a little less grain. .It will take three or four weeks to bring her to a full flow of milk and to reach the stage where she is eating a full ration. The time to establish the milk flow of the cow is when she is fresh. There is no other time in the lactation period when care and Judi-. clous feeding have a more important bearing upon her year's record -Feed her liberally, but never overfeed or carry her beyond her capacity.

The Daily Sheet, of Posen,. thus de- livers itself: ' "So many thousands of the miser- able wretches have been dragged from their slum hovels that the booz- ing -kens of Whitechapel and the Bor- otieh are putting up their shutters.

Looking over Bernhardes book 1 notice his claim for the great hu- manity of the German soldier. But that would be contrary to the teaching of German military writers. I read from General Beaman: "When war comes terrorisni be- comes an essential military princi- ple." I read from. Bismarck: "inflict on the civilians or the en- emy the maximum of suffering. "Make the war so terrible for civil- ians of both sexes that they will be disheartened anti will put preseure 011 their government to sue for peace." I read from Clausewitz: "War is unlimited. The side that uses every kind of force without ecru - P10; yes, without any scruple what- ever, must in the end beat an enemy who is hampered by foolish scruples." I remember Bismarck's advice, "Leave the enemy nothing but his eyes to weep with." I recognize that Germany has adopted this teaching.

"Let us ap- Ply the eneiny's methods to our means," he said, "and we win." Win- ston Churceill, attacking tee British GoVernment for its conduct- of the war, counts the men supposed to be under arms, estimates the number that are in contact with the enemy, coucludes that there is a "large mar- gin not yet usefully aeplied to the pro- secution of the war," and rises to a peak of bitterness iseying that, whereas the Government talks of "combing" the Indestries for more sol- dier, he would say "Physician, comb' thyself." One might think, to read what they say to each other, that the Englieh were in a moral panie, divid- ed in .counsels, self -discovered in their -inefficiency, and now resolved to be efficient without knowing how to, be- gin. But that is not so. Baal Curzon said recently that there were two prerogativee of welch they tenth never deprive an English- man -the passion for depreciating himself and the • right to abuse his Government. He spoke then of unity. The greatest contribution that Great Braaten hae made was not the number of men she put into the field, • the munitions turned out, or the ships which sailed the seas, but the unbrok- en front, the solidarity, the stubborn tenacity of the nation as a whole. Of that unity and tenacity the Govern- ment was st symbol. That is the true picture of the English, the one which one knows instinctively to be true. The •confusion is in the technique, and that is unimportant. There are nations that mfght run a war better, there are perhaps few that could do Worse in technique of con- duct, but there is not one that could be more trusted to win a war, and that, after all, la the thing that counts. To be sure of this you have only to consider what woule happen to the Allies in the event of England desert- ing them, and then, on the other hand, what England ;would do if her allies deserted her. She would not stop. She would .go on alone, as she has been known to do before, because, as Earl Curzon says, she is united and tenaci- ous, even in a mood of self -deprecia- tion, or perhaps more so in tliat mood than in any other. England, denounc- ing herself as inefficient, is yet the greatest naoral asset of democracy in Europe. Against her is arrayed what the world has been pleased to make a fetich of, namely, German efficiency. And what is that? Ilow shall it be judged? By results, perhaps. Weli, then, Ito first justification would bo a victory. Being that quality wherein an autocracy "may be 'superior to do- mocracies in war, efficiency is obliged to triumph in war against inefficiency, so-called. In this It has failed so far, and is in danger of failing utterly., it may be argued that the test is not fair, because there is a point at which the highest efficiency will have to suc- cumb to sheer numbers. Very well, Wb take it on other grounds. A' democracy, being inefficient po- litically, is unprepared for war, as England was; but in German prepar- edness there had been great efficien- cy. That is a 'thing now taken alto- gether for granted. True, Germany was reasonably prepared for war, but in her preparedness there were fatal defect% not political and economic alone, but physical defects. Having put its trust in great nes and in the rapidity with which the enemy could be ovearwhelmed by their 'fire, Ger- man efficiency failed to provide itself with sufficient ammunition, so that by the end of September a, 1914, the shortage of it was a calamity. By its own testimony this is true, and mulltary plAns had suddenly to be recast at a loss of precious time. It counted on a short War, 'which was a fatal miscalculation. It underestimated the strength and resources of its enemies, whice is thought to be a vice of de- mocracies. It failed to foresee the economic Isolation of the German Em- pire, which was automatically betted to happen. Having been confronted with the fact of this isolation, and only after the lapse of riearly two years took the necessary arbitrary measures to conserve the means of life, In the meantime hopeless blun- eters had been made, as German crit- ic% of their own Government noW unite in saying bitterly. There was first a great slaughter; of swine, so that there was More pork than people cotild eonsume, and next there was a great scarcity of let on that account,. which .appakently now cannot be made good. There was, plenty in one place and scarcity in another, because the separate states were loath to yield control of their toed to a ?ruse Alan dictator, now tardily appointed. These things Might n11 have been done very much better. Doing them so badly in a democracy would be a Mark of inefficiency. German efficiency -eas failed to overwhelm either of its great enemies. It has conquered only Serbia and Bel- gium. On its second wind' it does its Mightiest against the blreneh at Ver. - dun and is nenpluseed •by' the resist- ance of a democracy that was thought to be more valorous than efficient .in.: War, It counted abettrdiy on the pelin, an instrument • Of wanton"' frightfulness, .capable of Mining the , blood of the world, but powerless In tho slightest -degree to affect the ottt-: come of the war.

He has to be suppressed by ibree. Germauy has iter Irish problem within. The Admiralty and the Foreign. Office come to an impasse, and the Kaiser nes to decide between therm and off goes the head of von Mintz. The na- tion is then divided on the question of how Submarine warfare shall be eonducted, (though it has been al- ready decided at Great Headquarters) and von Tirpitz papers openly and concertedly attack the Chancellor. There is at last a compromise in the Reichstag. Next the food problem comes to a head acutely, and there is another upset in the Government. The Minister of the Interior is inter- red, tinder a beautiful decoration, and In his place rises a food dictator, whose job will be thankless, because everybody undertakes to hate him be- forehand. This would fairly answer as a summitry of the vices of a demo- cracy at war. And in the meantime the great efficient war machine offers to a people on eiminislied rations a geographical situation called victory welch the enemy strangely,persists in ignoring! So there is efficiency contraeted with inefficiency in war. Wherein is the triumph of one over the other? German efficiency Will be less made of in the future. Its limitations ere as obvious as those of an analytical conclusion, It solyea a great prob- lem, working front premises laid down, but it is baffled by•the unex- pected and lacks imagination to fore- see new conditions, It sees narrowly in a straight line, and when deflected by unconsidered obstacles, which imagination might have provided for, it is like a locomotive off the track.

Reuter's correspondent, writing from the BritiSh headquarters, says a certain soldier is now the pride of las regiment in consequence of the skill and daring with whien he extricated himself from a very tight eorner, Just withre the adventure happened mat- ters not. The man was sent out on patrol duty with another, They were surprised by a party of the enemy in considerably stronger force, and called upon, to surrender. They replied by firing, and killed a German, after which the companion bolted. The unnamed hero, coming to the conclusion that a live man is very much better than a dead one, permie ted himself to be taken. But his cap- tors failed to observe that, with sleight-of-hand skill, he was eonceal- ing a grenade in his capacious fist. This he dexterously returned to his pocket when the Bodies had finished rummaging his tunic. The disconsolate -looking .' Tommy was borne in triumph to the German For some reason he appears to have been left in charge of a soli- tary sentinel, whilst the rest of the party moved away. Quietly with- drawing the bomb from his pocket, but without slipping out the safety -pin, he suddenly broke from his posture of cowed subjection and brought the ob- -ject down with a tremendous whack upon the,slcull of his guard. The Ger- man dropped like a log, his rifle and bayonet clattering to the ground. Tommy then took to his heels in the direction of the British lines, but had not gone far when he came upon another German patrol. Challengen to surrender, he stood still, and allow- ed the enemy to apProach hiin close. Then suddenly poising the grenade, he hurled it right into the midst of the little group. There was an immediate explosion, followed by cries and groans, and the gallant soldier con- tinued his sprint, returning safely to tell the story to his cheering com- rades. He Would Save Us Alone. One political personage with a great belief in his own powers, is said to have filled in his form in the "al- ternative occupation" space of the National Register in England, with "prepared to . save the country." Which reminds one of the story that in the early stages of the war a cer- tain politica,' person approached the Prime Minister and said that he was convinced that war could only be car- ried on properly by one maa with unlimited power in every direction. The P. M. thought it over gravely for genie lime, while the other pictured himself hurling thunderbolts by land and sea. "You may be right," was the final verdiet.

The warbler, which nests in Alaska and pauses the winter in northern South Amerlaa, should not begin an 8,000 mile voyage through the air over mountains, plains and seas unlea.s its engine IS in good- order and it has a proper supply of fuel. "But," you ase,•"what is a bird's en- gine, and weere eoes it carry fuel?" A bird's engine,is really its wings and the muscles :which move them. It is one of the nwet. perfect engines in the world. It is simple, bireeteenagegete works easily, but it la pol-opp;v40 rarely gets out of order. IA..' For many years man tried to make flying machines whit should have wings like those of birds. But he lieW succeeded. He could not natikniffi'dijg. feather! Finally he discovened'tfiat'ifs he would make a maelene that Would' fly he must give it wings anti an eis? gine, Se he constructed an aeroplane, which has wide, stiff wings, or "planes," measuring about thirty feet from tip to tip. These wings cannot be flapped, and in themselves they fur- nish no power. But to them man added an engine driven by gasoline and elec- tricity. This engine tuna a long blad- ed propeller, which urges the aero- plane forward, while the planes sup- port it when it is in motion. But a bird's wing, we must remem- ber, is both plane and engine.

The latest story of Count 13ernstorff, tho- German Ambassador, which hap- pens to be perfectly true, Is as fol- iates; "Count Ilernstorff and two of his attachee were invited to dinner by the welisknown Mrs. of —, Fifth avenue, Newport.

HIGH COST OF LIVING. Things That Are Mere Comforts Now Used to be Luxuries, No economist has put enough em- phasis on the fact that if the cost of living is higher now it is to a large extent because the avenage man is de- manding more comforts and luxuries, and these must cost more.
