Hogs that have been fattening are rapidly
maturing for the butcher and many farmers
will slaughter fine ones that will largely make
provision for the winter. Pork is high at this
time and those who have any to sell are doing
we'll with it. This year, taken altogether, has
been an exceptionally good one for farmers.
The fine weather lately has been much ap-
preciated by farmers and they are pushing
the work of saving their corn crop as rapidly
as possible. Some say the indications point to
a mild winter and it is hoped their predictions
may come true. M

Serious Cunning Accidents.-Capt.D urm,

serious accident few days ago while cunning
with several friends at Cherry Hill, near
Westport. His dog chased rabbit and Capt.
Durm fired one barrel, killing the rabbit. He

bly,. The thumb and large portion of the
first two fingers were blown completely off,
and he was bleeding profusely when his friends
hurried for surgical assistance Dr.. Clam, Of
Mount Winans, was notified and dressed Mr..

has fair chance for recovery.
Chestnuts and Potatoes as Food
Chestnuts are food very similar to potatoes
in value, although or the side of nutrition the
advantage is with the nut. The latter has but
So per cent. water, while water in the potato
is found to the extent of 70 per cent. We are
Just beginning to learn generally in this coun-
try that the chestnut may be cooked exactly
as the potato is cooked, and that it is palata-
BILE either boiled, baked or roasted. All very
good and true But if the chestnut formed
any part of the staple food of Baltimore county
we would all go hungry, as the crop is small:
| the nut is small, with the worm the biggest
| part thereof and very much in evidence. But
| all the same the cultivation of the chestnut
should go on, especially in lands that will
raise nothing else.

seem to be as impossible a task az
teaching child not to cry or bos4

on record where dog was so taughA.
although it took the trainer three
years to accomplish it Then hs
thought he had a dog that differed
from all the other dogs in the worfa.
but in this he was mistaken, for there
are at least three varieties of dcgs
that never bark-the ion-headed dog
of Thibet, the shepherd dog Of Egypa
and the Australian dog. The law In
some countries is quite severe On
u4ght-barking dogs. In Japan, for H.
stance, the owner Of the dog is liable
to arrest and to a penalty of ona,
years work on the complaint Of any,
one who has been disturbed by thel
barking. There would be a good
many arrests made if law Of that

prices for it were high at Chica-
60, Minneapolis and other grain
centers. At this distance, it
appears that the farmers of the
North west have been losing
both ways in the game, unable,
as they have been, to ship their
products and alike unable to Sec
ure winter fuel.
Senator Hansbrough of North
Dakota, who was instrumental
in inducing the interstate COM
merce commission to begin an
investigation into tn. ca 8 of
prevailing conditions in the
Northwest, says that the ex
PLANTATION is found in the tx-
haustion of all hands enraged in
the operation Of the railroads.
He says they are all dead tired
and the situation has got the b t.
ter of them, in spite of tne4r
willingness tc meet emerge ,ci-s.
From preside n ) to switcnmen,
he says. they ar all over " orke /.
To explain Senator Harsbro Igh's
contention, it is SAID that the
railroads have been unable to
obtain labor to handle the bust
ness.
But it is not now so much who
is to blame for the conditions as
it is what can be done to ameli-
crate them Trains are running
on all the roads, and if coal is
not carried to the communities
which need itsnow it should be
possible to substitute coal trains
for other traffic for a while.
And: this undoubtedly will be
done if it is not found advisable
to add the coal trains to the ex-
listing schedules. The possibility
of billiards. which will block
the roads, makes action all the
more necessary at once. :. Four
