generally known that splendid progress
had been made by the army engineers ir
digging the Panama canal. the statement
contained in the Canal Record. just at
hand. comes as a surprise tht all of the
excavation that was contemplated in the
original project has been completed.
Under that plan, 10S, $4,000 cubic yards of
raterial was to be removed and that has
BEEN done. f{5
But subsequently, In order to accommo-
date naval vessels of the Dreadnaught
type and the giant liners now under con-
slr,ction, the President ordered the
widening and deepening of the canal
prism. That involved the removal Of

that is all of the task of excavation that
confronts the engineers.

have announced advances. AS to the
other companies the agreement will be
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad

the steel corporation.
The Tennessee Company
Chairman e. H. Gary of the United
States Steel corporation announced Thurs
day that it had been decided the sub
sidiary companies of the corporation
would advance wages in May But this
action was not to apply to the Tennes-
see company until the officials of that
company had had further time to con-
slider the matter and determine just what
could be reasonably done.
The wage question is under considera-
ton at the offices of the Tennessee COM

Looking Back.

You will find, as you look back
upon your life, that the moments
that stand out-the moments when
you have really lived-are the
moments when you have done
things in spirit of love. AS men,
DRY scans the past, above and be-
yond all the transitory pleasures of
life there leap forward those su-

enabled to do unkindness to those
round about you, things too trifing

have entered into your eternal life

Too Much Grumblins.

A farmer was in our Office one
day last week and in talking about
the big crops said they (the crops)
are much better than the farmers
deserve. He said last spring when
the outlook was gloomy the farmers
grumbled about the cold. wet wealth
er, and the necessity of having to
plant their corn over two or three
times. Then again when the big
rains came in the last 10 days of
September there were grumblings
and mutterings about too much
rain. The corn would be kept green
so that frost would get it. We all
grumble too much, but the hand of
Providence deals exceedingly gen.
erous with us all in spite of our
erumblings and discomfort. Herald

Methods of Saving Corn Fodder.

The most valuable use of corn
fodder is obtained by putting it into
the siIo but only a few farmers in
this state have as yet thought it
necessary to build silo, Most of
the fodder is allowed to stand in
the field until the corn is gathered
and then pastured with cattle and
this is the most wasteful method
that can be thought of. Corn fod-
der cut and cured in shocks is q
valuable feed and where a shredder
is used and the fodder stored in the
barn or shed there is very little
waste, if the shredding is done as
early as the fodder is dry enough to
save. Fodder husked out by hand
as soon as the corn is dry enough
to crib may be tied in bundles and
stacked and will keep without much
loss if fed out by the time spring
rains set in.-Farmer and Breeder.

Four Hogs Killed by Snake.

Allen, Md. Hearing a noise near
the edge of the woods on the farm
of R. j. Stewart. near this place,
Stewart, Charles A. Cathell, j, Lind
ley Allen and Henry j. Crouch
went to the spot and found that a
number of hogs had been in a fight
with a large rattlesnake. The snake
literally was torn to pieces, three
hogs were dead and fourth was
dying. AS the last hog would
groan the snake would raise its
head, being unable to do anything
else. For thirty yards around the
grass and earth were torn up and
from appearances the snake must
have been nearly 7 feet long. The
hogs had demolished all its rattleS
except two.
1t undoubtedly was one of the
most terrific battles ever waged be-
tween member of the serpent FAM
lily and domesticated animals. That
it was as fast as it was furious is
an accepted fact, as Stewart had
been down to the woods and had
fed the hogs only about an hour
previous to hearing the commotiOn
among them, and it also was shown
that they had eaten more than half
of their feed when his snakeship
appeared on the scene.
