Has the Day Come? ~A_day will come when_the only battlefield will be the market open to commerce and the mind opening to new ideas. A day will come when bullets and bombshells will be replaced by votes, by the universal suffrage of~ nations, by the venerable arbitration of a great sovereign senate, which will be to Europe what the parliament is to England, what the diet is to Germany, what the legislative assembly is to France. A day will come when a cannon will be exhibited in public museums, just as an instrument of tcrture is now, and the people will be astonished how such a thing could have been. A day will come when these two immense groups, the United States of America and the United States of Europe, shall be placed in the presence of each other extending the hand of fellowship across the ocean.—Victor Hugo, 1852. LIVC STOCK REDUCING COST IN FEEDING Farm By-Products Can Be Used More Extensively to Reduce Cost of Cattle Rations. (Prepared by the United States Department ot Agriculture.) That It is possible to feed beef cows In the corn belt more economically dicing the wiuter is Shown by a report of United States department of agriculture investigators who mad. a study of winter feeding costs on live repre- -oLilative farms In that section. This reduction In the cost of feeding -is possible without detriment to the cows or calves through lurger use of farm byproducts in the rations. Avokl feeding excessively, avoid costly rations, use more cheap roughages, such as straw and corn stover, feed silage where conditions make it more economical than corn fodder. The first farm used as an example Is in east central Iowa. The breeding herd consisted of a grade bull and 22 grade cows, from which 20 calves were obtained. The cows were given excessive amounts of high-priced feed for both of the years for which records were procured, says the bulletin. They were turned on stalks November 15. Winter feeding began a few days later and lasted until May 1, when the cows were again turned on pasture. During the 165-day interval each cow received the following: Stalks 11-5 acres at $1 an acre. Fodder 2-5 acre, at $35 nn acre. lAxed hay % ton, at $10 a ton. Corn 2 bus. at $0.65 a. bu. As the average yield of corn on this farm was 50 bushels to the acre, and as the best corn was cut for fodder, the cows, considering the corn in the fodder and the additional grain fed, received a total of 22 bushels per head. This is almost a fattening ration. If tho corn had been husked" from the fodder and only the stover fed, there would have been sufficient roughage for the cows. Estimating that three- fourths of a ton of stover was eaten per acre of stalks and that the stover from the fodder fed would go two tons to the acre, and allowing the cows -three bushels of corn each during the winter instead of 22, they would receive the following daily ration; Stover 20.6 pounds Mixed hay ,.... 9.0 pounds Corn 1.0 pound This ration would be sufficient for their needs. By merely eliminating the excessive amount of corn (19 bushels) from the ration a saving of $11.40 could have been made and the feed bill reduced very nearly one-half, or from $24 to $12.60 per cow. Rations on the fifth farm inspected by the investigators are pronounced very satisfactory. This farm (240 acres) is in northeastern Kansas. Seventy acres were in corn, 25 in oats, 25 in wheat, and 100 in pasture.

For the apple crop of 1918 a value of $230,000,000 has been estimated, or nearly three-eighths of the value of all fruits. With more orchardists than ever spraying their apple trees and otherwise giving them more careful attention than ever before, this season Haywood county apples ought to be better in quality than ever Therefore with due attention to harvesting and marketing, Haywood county apples, this season, ought to command better prices than ever. Haywood county apples ought to command as good prices as the much-vaunted "fancy" fruit raised in the Pacific coast states. That Haywood apple growers are unable to command "top notch" prices for their fruit, very probably is largely their own fault. Why not organize a Western North Carolina Apple Growers' association, in order that the world may know and enjoy the Western North Carolina apple— the best on God's green earth. Good Roads the Precursor of Prosperity. As sure as "Trade Follows the Flag", so prosperity follows good roads. For good roads are the forerunner—the precursor of prosperity. That the main thoroughfare in Haywood county—according to the present program—is to be considerably improved, is a matter for present congratulation and future hope. One does not need to draw on his imagination to predict that the inauguration of a system of good roads in Haywood county will insure for her an era of prosperity exceeding in magnitude any she has ever known. No need to seek further for an investment that will earn the greatest dividend in a reasonable length of time. Beyond all peradventure good roads is that investment-—safe and sane. And of this good roads movement no classes of men should be more optimistic promoters than the farmers, orchardists and stockmen.
