TWO WORLD FAMED GRANNIES
One Of These Talented Women Is
Sarah Bernhard and the Other
Ellen Terry.

Two famous grandmothers are dis
tinguished visitors of this countr-. Re-
ferring to these talented ladies the
Rochester Post Express says: "One of
the grandmothers is Nine. Sarah Bern
hardt; the other is Ellen Terry. Both
actresses have reached an age when it
is permissible to retire from active
life; but the French actress is said to
be as energetic as woman half her
age, while Ellen Terry is declared to
be as young as ever she was in the
palmy days when she and Henry Irv-
ing ruled the theatrical world of Eng
land. Miss Terry has retired from the
stage SO far as acting is concerned.
and has taken to lecturing on Shakes
peare's heroines. And who could do
better than she who has played SO
many of the womanly women of the
great dramatist? Readers of her
breezy biography know what she
thinks of Portia, Beatrice, VOLTA, Rosa
land and other famous women of the
tragedies and comedies, but no print
ed page could charm as does the won
dertully expressive features and the
velvet voice of the greatest living
English-speaking actress"

CIV W. H. UNDERWOOD


In raising pigs there are several
cult to secure In the right degree In
the winter time, and which sometimes
make the winter litter rather costly.
Hogs are great lovers of warmth
and they must have it for their eco
nomical growth. This has been fully
demonstrated by the experiment sta
tions in the different fattening trials.
The cost of the grain in several in
stances was almost double with out
side feeding as compared with warm
shelter. all other things being as near
ly equal as was possible.
Warmth is even more of a neces-
sity to the sucking pig, and to OBJ
tain that warmth and give the little
fellow sufficient amount of exercise
is where the difficulty comes in.
1t is an easy matter to make the
bed warm enough, but as soon as the
pig leaves the nest for exercise out in
the open, 1t becomes chilly and soon
returns to the warm bed. Not taking
exercise sufficient to keep it from be-
coming too fat. thumps follow and
death ensues. An abundance of exer-
else is necessary to avoid the thumps
In young pigs when they are getting
all the milk and other foods they can
eat.
In raising winter pigs there are
six really very important things to be
exercise, good feed. ventilated quar-
tiers, sunshine and good blood.
In order to have these warm and
quite roomy building. which will make
ventilation easier and allow the pigs
to play without going out in the open
is necessary When the weather is

sufficiently warm they should be out
of doors as much as possible, es-
pecially when the sun shines. Plenty
of sunshine is the greatest disinfectant
and invigorator known.
Some years ago | had couple OF
filters come early in the winter. The
weather was very cold and for want
OF a better place to keep them than
the one in which they were farrowed,
penned up little corner of the COW
stable in which were kept at night
80 head of cattle. The building was
35 by so feet and when closed at
night with the cattle in it was quite
comfortable. This proved to be al
most an ideal place for the pigs.
They were given fresh bedding
every night and fresh supply of bed
ding put in every day. Those pigs
grew exceedingly fast.
Under ordinary farm conditions 1t is
a doubtful proposition to attempt to
raise many winter pigs with good re-
suits, but under special conditions a
few filters may be made profitable.
The greatest obstacle is to provide
enough warm space for the pigs to run
about freely without becoming chilled
for lack of sufficient sunshine.
Scours and thumps often cause very
serious losses among young pigs. The
former is caused usually by over-feed-
ing. by providing badly spoiled feed,
by an abrupt change Of ration or by
a change in feed that affects the milk
of the dam. The latter is generally
brought about by overlooking and
lack of exercise.

RAISING FUEL

Systematic Planting and CuItiva-
tion Of Forest Trees Is Branch
Of Agriculture Yet IN
Infancy.

(By r. B. BUCKHAM, Salem. Mass.)
A very small acreage of woodland.
IL properly handled, can be made to
yield the necessary fuel for the house
hold. from year to year, and yet main
tain an average growth, or even in
crease in value.
The tree growth of the woodlot
should be encouraged in every possible
way. All dead wood should be con-
scientiously removed and added to the
woodpile. 1t will serve well as excel
lent kindling. at least, and does away
with one Of the chief sources OF dis
ease among growing wood. It has
been proven that q very large per-
centage Of all the ailments of forest
trees arises from the decaying dead
wood lying about them.
Thinning correctly is a second re-
quisite to making the woodlot most
profitable. Where the standing growth
is too close, all are compelled to suf-
fer for the lack of air and light.
Hence some can well be removed. to
the benefit of the remainder.
Where an area of any dimensions
has been laid bare. 1t should be re-
seeded Immediately. II the second
growth does not start satisfactorily.
1t Is as poor economy to allow parts

OF the woodlot to lie idle, as any other
portion of the farm.
The increase of the more valuable
trees should be encouraged, such as
the oak. pine, hickory and ash. Some
trees are of no value, save as stove
wood, and are poor, even at that.
Yet, strange enough, at the start they
are the most vigorous. and always sue
coed at making the most rapid growth
at the start; thus holding their own at
the expense of their competitors.
There are weeds among trees, as well
as among plants.
Forest tracts are indispensable to
the welfare and best interests of the
community. We cannot well do with.
out them, because of their salubrious
influence upon the climate. their con-
servation of the supply of moisture.
and their value for purifying the at.
mosphere. to say nothing of their com.
mercial value.
We must look to the farmer for
, the presence of the necessary amount
of forest trees. Upon them will fall
the burden of bearing this RESPONSE,
bility.
But that they will profit largely
therefrom Is well illustrated by the
fact that the artificial timber tracts
which already exist in what was for
merly the great. bare. wind-swept
western plains. are already Of incal-
culable value.

came was John Burton, the father Of
Josiah. In the year 1913 he settled
on tract of ground four miles east
OF Gosport In section now known as
Liberty Church neighborhood. The
country was then sparsely settled and
there were only mere bride paths
leading to the few settlements.
BY 1880 the country had become a
little more pepulous and there was
talk Of establishing church. There
were many denominations in the
neighborhood, and 1t was finally de-
cided to build church that should be
non-denominational. but with lean
ings toward the Methodist Protestant
creed. John Burton gave enough
ground for the building Of a church,
and another member of the new or
