SPRING BRINGS BIG
RUSH OF BUSINESS
Merchants Are Unanimous in
Reporting Heavy Increase
of Trade.

Merchants Of the city report that the
business OF the past week was more
than satisfactory. For three or four
preceding weeks the weather had been
unsettled, and while trade was good,
all things considered. it was not nearly
up to what it would have been had
spring set in on schedule time. During
the past week, however, spring ap-
peared to have arrived bag and bag
gage, and the result was just what was
expected. The stores were crowded
daily and trade WIS correspondingly
| heavy.
From statements made by several big
| institutions yesterday it appears that
trade for the past three months has
been considerably better than it WIS
for the same period one year ago, de-
spite the fact that the weather was
moro propitious q year ago than it has
been SO far this year. One big cloth
ness for the past three months is from
10 to Is per cent better than it was
for the same period Of 1912. Another
big institution which handles both
wholesale and retail trade, reports that
its retail business has held its own, as
compared with former years, while the
wholesale trade has shown considerable
advance, as compared with the CORE
spending season in former years.
But the past week has been good to
everybody. When the weather man fin
ally became ashamed of himself and
decided on loosing the tap on the
spring weather, the people began to
descend upon the stores in flocks. De
partment stores, millinery establish
ments, dry goods stores and other in
stitutions, handling goods that appeal
especially to women, say that their
trade has been as good as they could
desire during the past week. Women S
suits, muslin underwear, linens, hats
Oxford shoes, white waists and other
accessories to milady's toilet have been
in heavy demand.
Hardware stores and other stores
that deal in hardware and sporting
goods also report an unusually heavy
for sporting goods, especially baseball |
supplies, and numerous coming Frank |
Chances, "Smokoy' Joe Woods and |
Christy Mathewsons have been laying
in supplies of bats, balls, suits, masks |
and other paraphernalia needed in the
great American game. In addition,
supplies have been sold in considerable
quantities to professional players.
There also has been heavy trade in
garden implements.
Furniture stores not only report
heavy trade during the past week, but
they also report that the people are
buying greater variety and higher
class of goods than usual. "We have
had the biggest and best trade, during
the past week, that we have had in
years. Is the way the manager Of one
large establishment put 1t.

REALTY DEALERS ARE

The real estate man Is now easily dis

over even the excellent business of n

While not many big deals were made

GOOD HINTS FOR
SWINE FEEDING
As Corn Contains Excess of Car.
bOhydrate Protein Must Be
Given in Other Feeds.

Hogs are not fitted by nature to
subsist entirely on waste products.
They do their best on a clean, we'll
balanced ration. There are, however,
some kinds of waste products, such
as apple and potato Feelings, table
scraps, etc, that can be utilized to
good advantage.
In the corn belt corn stands at the
head of hog rations, being the cheap
est and best feed available, writes c.
E. Wallace in the Farm and Home.
Feeds rich in protein should be fed
with it, for corn contains an excess of
carbohydrate, Skim milk grass and
especially the clovers, are excellent
sources of protein. The young grow
ing pig needs proportionally more
heterogeneous food than mature hogs.
When hogs reach the fattening stage
corn can be fed almost exclusively.
Clean waste scraps of fruit and vege.
tables may be fed with the foregoing
feeds, but it should be borne in mind
that the digestive apparatus Of no ami,
NAL is fitted to simulate soap suds and
other chemicals of like nature, which
are often thought by the poorly IN
formed to be excellent hog feed.

THEY NEVER SAW DRUNKARD
Only One Child in Crowd Of Two
Thousand at Sunday School Rally

There was a great Sunday school
rally in Maine a while ago, said Mrs.
Antoinette A. Hawley, editor Of the

RADIO, and two thousand children looked
into the face of a man who asked:
How many of you ever saw a drunk
en- mani? Only one child raised his
hand. Why? Because in March, 100
years ago, Neal Dow was born. A bank
director, identified with large corpora
tons and a conspicuous helper of his
fellow men; a general in the army that
served the Union; a Quaker, too,
which helped nightly, for Quakers are

that, sowing 1t heart deep with his

WORKING ON ANOTHER TACK
In Endeavor to Reform Drinking Man
Temperance People Now Trying to
Throttle Liquor Traffic.

Formerly temperance workers, says
Professor Ross of the University of
Wisconsin, devoted their efforts to an
endeavor to persuade a man not to
drink in the hope of reforming him.
Nowadays we see that the thing to do
is to throttle the liquor traffic In
accomplishing this latter and far more
difficult and dangerous task, we are
performing for society "once for ALL
service which will have hundreds and
thousands of boys and girls from
the temptations and allurements of the
liquor evil. While we recognize that
the rescue missions of our cities are
doing a work the value of which is
unreasonable, we must magnify the
necessity for the once for all" service
which shall render unnecessary large
part of this form of endeavor.

Bulls Of dairy strains at one year
old, the usual age for exhibiting, do
not I'll the eyes with the same effect
Of the beef type, so they do not appear
IN the prize list and are branded as
Inferior accordingly.
In latter years, a great change has
come over the cattle industry. Dairy
ing has advanced by leaps and bounds.
Breeders of pedigreed cattle have
awakened TO the fact OF a new posi-
ton in the dairy industry. Jersey and
Ayrshire cattle, having long been
bred for dairy cattle, do not come
under the ban already mentioned, but
pedigreed Shorthorns, although there
have always been deep mixers among
them, have been regarded with sus-
picion in the best dairying districts.
Latterly, the herds of Shorthorn
that were bred en- dairy lines have
been pushed very much to the 'front.'
COWS of this breed have appeared at
the dairy shows and have proven re.
peatedly that the right sort of Short.
horns can be firstclass dairy COWS.
The following are good dairy breeds;
The Jersey is Invariably admitted
to be the ideal COW for butter pro
duction. In all her points she shows
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1913-06-25

dairy capacity. Light in the flesh
she is big in the body, showing plenty
Of room for the vital organs and also
capacity for dealing with the full
supply Of food, so necessary for a
dairy COW. She Is an attractive COW
and a good seller.
Island.bred Jersey cows have an ap'
pearance Of delicacy but the cows
bred in the states seem to be quite
able to stand the climate. The Jersey
is occasionally very heavy mixer.
As a rule she milks reasonably well,
but her strong point is the richness
Of the cream.
The Ayrshire is a medium-sized COW.
Her strong point is the large average
milk yield. Ayrshire milk is not
usually rich in butterfat. 1t Is equal
ly serviceable for butter and cheese
making and for milk trade.
The point which recommends a milk
for cheese making is the small size
Of the fat globules in the milk When
they are small, as In the Ayrshire
milk, they do not rise quickly so that
they are caught in the curd when it
coagulates.
Jersey mill; has large, fat globules
which rise quickly making the milk
unsuitable for cheese making.

enhanced value of the individual
specimens of fruit. .
With this method of culture it is
especially desirable that the plants be
started early and transplanted two
or three times before moving to the
field. By moving a square or ball OF
undisturbed earth with each, plant
growth is scarcely checked.
We make 1t practice to remove a
large share Of the leaves when trans
planting in the beds and when moving
to the field, This tends to preserve 4
balance between root and branch,
largely preventing whiting of stalks
and minimizing check in growth.
Plants moved to tho field in this
manner are but little checked in
growth if the ground has been well
fitted and soil moist.
We have moved strong and stocky
plants that we're two feet high with no
resultant willing of either leaves or
stalks.
Such plants should be staked imme.
diately, the plant being tied to the
support below the first cluster of
buds. Tie again, later on, below the
second and third clusters. In tying
allowance must be made for the
growth of the stalk. Three full clus.
tiers Of fruit are enough for one plant
Branches must be removed as soon
as they appear
With this method plants may be
set as close as IS inches in the row
Rows should be four feet apart to al
low plenty of room for horse cultiva
ton.
, Cultivation should be frequent, but
shallow, as the roots Of tomato plants
seek the surface where the soil warns
up under the influence of the suns
rays. Mere stirring of the surface al
with a garden rake creates ideal sol
conditions among tomato plants.
For fancy market purposes or To-
the home garden this method of cul
ture cannot be too highly recon
mended.

GET EARLY LAYING PULLETS
First Egg From White Leghorn
Chicken at Four Months and Four
teen Days at Ohio College.

A single-comb White Leghorn pull
let, that laid her first egg just four
months and fourteen days from the
date Of her Matching, is one of the re-
suits of breeding for early maturity
obtained by the Ohio Agricultural
college. The usual age at which pull
let's begin laying is about six months.
This extraordinary fowl was one of a

This group began laying much earlier
than ordinary fowls, showing that 1t
pays to breed for early maturity.
They were from the Yesterlaid strain

1t may be interesting to know just
how this flock was fed, From the
first day to the sixth week they re-
ceived twice day a grain ration of
two pounds fine cracked corn and
three pounds cracked wheat. Up un'
til the twenty-frst day they also re-
ceived three times a day a moist
mash composed of four pounds rolled
oats, three pounds cornmeal, three
pounds wheat middlings, six pounds
wheat bran, four pounds sifted meat
scraps, two pounds alfalfa meal. one
quarter pound bone meal, one-quarteI
pound fine charcoal. This was mixed
with skim milk or buttermilk and fec
in shallow trays. From the sixth
week to maturity they received &
grain ration of two pounds cracked
corn and two pounds whole wheat, fec
In open hoppers. From the twenty
first day to maturity they received Q
mash composed of one pound rolled
oats, one pound corn meal; one
pound wheat middlings, two pounds

two ounces fine charcoal. This was
fed dry in open hoppers. In addition
