Tbs Robeksh's Ball.

When the ladies' who belong to Ulls
Lodge, Daughters of Rebeksh, under
take to conduct social function, they
always make the affair a success, if en-
ergy and combined effort can do it.
Notwithstanding the storms and the
deep snow, the ladies who had charge
of the arrangements for the ball given
on st. Pataick's night, worked SO dill
gently that it was decided sussess,
and both ball and supper was pronoun-
ced by those in attendance, the most
pronounced social event of the season.
The one and only criticism to be made
was that the number who attended was
too large for the space, or, rather, that
the house was too small to make the
enjoyment of the dancers complete
Everybody who is anybody at a social
function in DeLamar was there and all
of them glad of it.
And, oh, the supper that the ladies
had prepared! There was not only en-
ough of it but that enough was all pre-
pared and provided at the ladies homes
and was an achievement worthy of the
occasion

Kathleen Mayournoen.

DeLamar certainly has good reason
to be proud of her home talent dram
attic company, if the hearty plaudits of
full house'which greeted the drama
of kathleen Mavourneen," last Satur-
day night can be accepted as evidence.
The play was put on the boards in good
shape and the ladies and gentlemen
who assumed both minor and leading
roles all played their parts SO well that
it was common remark from people
in the audience that they had seen
professionals who did not do nearly SO
well. No noticeable breaks were made
and where every one did SO well it
would scarcely be fair to make special
mention of any individual performer.
In order to give those who were on
night shift last week an opportunity to
see this beautiful Irish Drama, it will
be produced again week from to-
night, the Goth instant.

CHARCOAL FOR ooRN.FEp HOGS.

Whole corn is the hardest of all
grains to digest, as it is also the cheap
est carbonaceous food. 1t has less
husk. in proportion to size of kernel,
than any other grain. Neither is the
corn made more digestible by being
ground and fed in mush, cooked or
uncooked. as is often done. Then it
packs in the stomach in masses too
large for the gastric juices to pene-
trate, and, of course, the corn fer
ments or sours. Ole fashioned farm.
ers used to theorize about this in very
queer ways. The acid from che
stomach they often attributed to eat.
ing sour apples, as both the apple
feeding and the corn feeding came
about the same time. Then when this
acid rose to their mouths and made
their teeth sore they attributed that
to chewing hard corn off the cob. So
they fed soft corn or had the corn
ground and fed meal. But the teeth
continued just as sore as before until
the time for butcherlng came, and the
poor, overfed hog was merclfully put
out of his misery by the butchers s
knife. 1t was while suffering the dis.
order of stomach full of soured mat
ter that many farmers found that
feeding charcoal was good remedy.
Hogs will eat charcoal readily. 1t
contains beside its carbon some ash
which neutralzes acids. A little soda
mixed with their feed will do the work
still better. But this is only tenn
porary remedy. In the end soda will
demoralize the stomach worse than
will anything else. The true remedy
is never to overGeed even fattening
hog, and to give him variety, ospeci.
ally when corn fed.

THE VALUE OF COAL ASHES.

From my own experience and many
inquiries from neighbor farmers
have reached definite conclusion
that coal ashes have truly n CONNER
cial value. Some years ago we hauled
number of loads of coal ashes and
scattered them thickly on low. wet
piece of land. The following winter
the bottom was plowed for corn, the
ashes turned under, and the result
was that where the ashes were put
there was marked difference in the
yield. The following year the same
field was put in corn again, and as the
ashes had brought forth such wonder
full results we covered another plat
before plowing, and the same marked
difference the following year, in the
increase, was noted on both rlats that
were covered with ashes.
The most wonderful part of the fer
tility of coal ashes is yet to come.
After the second crop the bottom was
sown to wheat and grass, and while J.
will not say that any difference could
be noted on either wheat or grass, |
will say that after the land had re.
mained in grass for three years it was
again plowed and put in corn, and the
very spots that had been covered with
the ashes could be noticed in the
yield. This goes to show that they
are beneficial for years, as they had
now been in the ground four and five
years respectively.
Before the ashes were applied the
ground was heavy and soggy, but the
following summer in tending the crop
n marked difference was noted in the
condition of the ground. There is no
doubt whatever in this latitude. South.
ern Ohio, that coal ashes are beneficial
on wet or clavey land. As one farmer
puts the situation, while there may
not be much substance or fertilizing
properties in them they are an excel
lent neutralizer, and adds that he has
used them to marked advantage where
ground is heavy, as they have a
tendency to loosen it. A. Il. Harding,
