f the Martins, John and Earl Harvey,

are Germans, not pro-Germans, (but
pro-Americans. They have no love
for the Kaiser. Hate him as bad as
some of our patriotic residents of
Windom do. They left the old country to come to a free country to get
rid of military training and autocratic
rule. They seem to a man, old and
young, to foe true Americans. They
don't like to go over seas to fight
their own people, fout not a man of
them fout says they will fight for Uncle Sam. They are willing to fight or
die for the Constitution our forefathers fought and died for. The,
Germans are getting very sore at
both old political parties for branding all who have German names or
any German blood in their veins as
traitors.

We -are beginning to question
whether after all it pays in the long
run to rofo the calf of its mother's
milk and try to rase the future cow
on whitewash and sawdust, or, to express it with a little more moderation, to try to' raise the calf on separated milk and patent foods.
Certain it is that the calf will keep
healthier and grow into a better cow
or foull if given whole milk, at least
as a part ration. Dairymen have figured it out to their satisfaction that
whole" milk is too valuable to feed to
calves and ■ from the standpoint of
immediate returns, these figures don't
lie. But if we could in some way estimate the ultimate loss in calves that
die from this treatment the depreciation in value of mature animals that
have been stunted in their growth
and the price that must be paid for
milch 'cows, it might look different. Is
it not a case of "saving at the spigot
and losing at the foung?"

Petrograd, Sept. 17.—General Korniloff, leader of the recent rebellion
against the provisional government,
and General Lokomsky, the commander
of the northern front who refused to
take command of the Russian armies

SHORTS OR CORN?
HOG FEEDING QUERY
"Shall I feed shorts at $40 a ton, oil
meal at $41, corn at $1.57 a bushel, or
oats at 60 cents a bushel?" asks a hog
raiser, using clover and timothy for
pasture.
In 100 pounds gross weight of
shorts there are of total digestible
nutrients, G9.3 pounds; in oats,. 70.4;
in oil meal, 76.9; and in corn, 85.7
pounds. Good quality is assumed in
all cases. On this basis 100 units of
total digestible nutrients or food value would cost $2.G6 in oats, $2.67 in
oil meal, $2.89 in shorts and $3.27 in
corn.
Practically the feeder can supply
separately oats, shorts and oil meal,
allowing the pigs to select their own
combination; or he can mix the feeds
(grinding the oats) and use as la^ge
a proportion of oil meal as the pigs
will eat readily and without scouring.
Quality is the big consideration.

The cabinet crisis continued all day.
The evening newspapers assert' that
Premier Kerensky Is in a very difficult
position, and that his resignation is
not excluded from possibility. The
situation is complicated by the attitude of tbe Petrograd council of deputies, in which at the night meeting tha
bolshevikls for the first time gained
aii overwhelming majority of 279
against 150 in favor of the extreme
radical position, which declares that
not only the social democrats, but all
the representatives of property owned
classes must be excluded from power.
Struggle Is Over "Cadets."
The cause of Premier Kerensky's
cabinet trouble is n acute revival of
the old struggle for power. Kerensky persists that the entry of four coji-
stitutional democrats into the cabinet
Is indispensable, but opposition to this
Is'growing among members of the left,
Kerensky might give way to this point,
but. he also is negotiating through JVI.
Kishkin, minister of the interior, for
the entry into the cabinet of representatives of the Moscow industrial
workers, and these declare that they
will not accept portfolios if the constitutional democrats are expelled.
The social democrats and social
revolutionaries, while continuing to oppose the constitutional democrats, declare that they also are against the
formation of a pttrely socialist cabinet,

Dakota county, amid rain and darkened skies, paid tribute to its drafted men by giving them a banquet and loyalty meeting at Hastings. By the time the meeting was about to begin 5,000 people were waiting and special trains had arrived bringing thousands from South St. Paul, Farmington, Lakeville and other neighboring towns. Hearing of the charges against Sheriff Joseph J. Urness of this county is on at Mahnomen, Governor Burnquist having ordered an investigation after the Minnesota public safety commission had recommended the removal of the sheriff, charging him with failure to enforce anti-gambling and liquor laws and refusing to co-operate with federal authorities in the enforcement of laws. Although Manley Madson of Hal- , Stad made no claim for exemption, the , patriotic Norman county selection board believed him to be married and exempted him anyhow. He promptly registered a vigorous kick and an investigation showed that the board had him mixed up with his married brother, so the members obligingly withdrew the exemption and allowed him to serve his country. In the presence of a squad of Minneapolis . city police sent from the North Side station in response to a call for protection, A. S. Brons, an anti-war street speaker, was arrested at Forty-second and Washington avenues north by military police who had been attracted by his haranguing. Brons was locked up in the city jail on a disorderly conduct charge, but Socialist friends scon furnished bail. Judge E. W. BazfUe has issued an order approving the first accounting Of Louis W.

It is expected that this sum will be sufficient.to pHy all remaining debts, including $50,000 to the Eugene, Ore., Bible university. The eslj£.a w_s valued at $52,888,519. The store and stock of the Mercantile company at Pine City were heavily damaged by fire and water. John McKinney, a pioneer citizen of Winnebago City is dead. He was born in Plattsburg, N. Y„ February 26, 1840. He was a veteran of the Civil War. f the Martins, John and Earl Harvey, Powells, Smiths, Ackersons, Taylor, etc. sA very large part of the residents of northeast Morrison county are Germans, not pro-Germans, (but pro-Americans. They have no love for the Kaiser. Hate him as bad as some of our patriotic residents of Windom do. They left the old country to come to a free country to get rid of military training and autocratic rule. They seem to a man, old and young, to foe true Americans. They don't like to go over seas to fight their own people, fout not a man of them fout says they will fight for Uncle Sam. They are willing to fight or die for the Constitution our forefathers fought and died for. The, Germans are getting very sore at both old political parties for branding all who have German names or any German blood in their veins as traitors. Would Sweden or any of the Scandinavians or English be any more M. N. Cadwell. ROB CALF OF MOTHER'S MILK Expert of Colorado Station Says It Is "Saving at the Spigot and Losing at the Bung" The record for patriotic relatives ia claimed by Mrs. John Murphy of Gilbert. She has nine brothers and cousins in the British army. Two have been killed and one slightly wounded. The Moorhead normal school attend- aace will probably be as large this fall as last fall in spite of the war, according to the large" numbers'of young' women arriving in that city for the opening. k Orders to send the second Minne- ^l^ta draft contingent of 7,111 men to ^ICamp Dodge at Des Moines beginning "( September 19, have been received by Governor Burnquist from Provost f Marshal General E.

Rittenberg of Farmington died here yesterday from injuries received ln an automobile aceident near Lakeville last night. Rittenberg lost control of the machine and it went over an embankment, throwing him out against a telephone pole. He never regained consciousness. • Plans have beea completed for the big booster convention of the Upper Mississippi River Improvement association, October 11 and 12, at Winona, Minn., by a special committee of the governing board of the association in session at the rooms of the St. Paul Associatlon a few days since. (By George H. Glover, Colorado Agricultural College, Ft. Collins.) We -are beginning to question whether after all it pays in the long run to rofo the calf of its mother's milk and try to rase the future cow on whitewash and sawdust, or, to express it with a little more moderation, to try to' raise the calf on separated milk and patent foods. Certain it is that the calf will keep healthier and grow into a better cow or foull if given whole milk, at least as a part ration. Dairymen have figured it out to their satisfaction that whole" milk is too valuable to feed to calves and ■ from the standpoint of immediate returns, these figures don't lie. But if we could in some way estimate the ultimate loss in calves that die from this treatment the depreciation in value of mature animals that have been stunted in their growth and the price that must be paid for milch 'cows, it might look different. Is it not a case of "saving at the spigot and losing at the foung?"

BUNS LEADER MAY RESIGN General Krymoff, Commander of Rebel Troops, Succumbs to Wounds He Inflicted on Himself After Con- ' fronting the Premier. Petrograd, Sept. 17.—General Korniloff, leader of the recent rebellion against the provisional government, and General Lokomsky, the commander of the northern front who refused to take command of the Russian armies after Kornlloff was deposed, have been arrested.

HOG FEEDING QUERY "Shall I feed shorts at $40 a ton, oil meal at $41, corn at $1.57 a bushel, or oats at 60 cents a bushel?" asks a hog raiser, using clover and timothy for pasture. In 100 pounds gross weight of shorts there are of total digestible nutrients, G9.3 pounds; in oats,. 70.4; in oil meal, 76.9; and in corn, 85.7 pounds. Good quality is assumed in all cases. On this basis 100 units of total digestible nutrients or food value would cost $2.G6 in oats, $2.67 in oil meal, $2.89 in shorts and $3.27 in corn. Practically the feeder can supply separately oats, shorts and oil meal, allowing the pigs to select their own combination; or he can mix the feeds (grinding the oats) and use as la^ge a proportion of oil meal as the pigs will eat readily and without scouring. Quality is the big consideration. A VISITOR FROM NEW YORK Peter Howder of Syracuse, N. Y., __ here visiting frionds. In comparing Minnesota with New York state, Mr. Howder states that New York is the best state in the Union. Improved farms sell there for from '$30 to $100 an acre within 3 to 5 miles from cities of from 3,000 to 160,000 inhabitants. He claims that a New York farmer's gate is the door to the best market in the world. Po< RUCKER Mr. Brandt preached a good triqn in the Johnson school house last /riday evening.
