TRAIN BOYS TO RAISE HOGS
Department Of Agriculture Gives In
structlons for Pig club-Some Of
Important Points.

In this time OF the shortage OF beef
raise more hogs.
That's Uncle Sans advice, given
through his department OF agriculture.
Gays the Kansas City Star. To be sure
the farmers won't forget II. he would
train them as boys and boys pig clubs
are his means OF education.
Any boy who has a pig can be a
member. Uncle Sam has prepared a
bulletin which tells him how to feed
and care for his stock.
Some Of the points to bear In mind
are the following:
"The feeding and care are as impor.
tant as the breeding in producing q
good hog. Plenty Of feed and care
may make a good hog out OF runt,
but lack OF II will always make runi
out OF good pig.
ITO make pork cheaply q permanent
pasture and forage crops must bs
used.
Young pigs must have n dry bed
and plenty OF sunshine.
Begin feeding the pig as soon as he
will eat. and keep him growing until
he 10 mature.
Always keep plenty OF clean fresh
water where the hogs may drink al
any time.
Quarantine all newly purchased
animals for three weeks.
"Never keep a brood SOW that will
not produce more than four strong
pigs at n litter.
Always keep n mixture OF charcoal
wood ashes. lime. sulphur. salt and
copperas before the hogs"

SPAIN COMPLAINS
OF GERMAN AGENTS
Bitter Campaign Against
France and England
Worked in Press.
TBy Cable to The Tribune. J

Madrid, Sept. 27.-The leading news
papers of this city complain about the
activities of German press agents who,
through irresponsible papers, espe-
Cially in the provinces of Spain, are
publishing sensational anti-British and
anti-French stories.
A story printed to-day says that the
residents Of Bordeaux are indignant on
account of the behavior of the French
officials transferred from Paris, who
are entertaining lavishly, while the
country is being ruined by the war.
The prosGermRn papers have also
found fault in the plan suggested by
the Spanish government TO receive in
Spanish territory a number Of wound
ed soldiers from any belligerent eoun-
try. These papers state that the gov
crnment could better devote It's ener-
gies to solve the labor crisis caused in
Spanish industry and agriculture by
the war.
In view of the opposition made by a
part Of the public and In order to avoid
international complications, the gov
eminent has abandoned the Plan t5 re-
ceive wounded men. Instead, the gov
ernment will serd medical force, with
supplies, to cooperate with each army
that will accept their services.

kets to the Spanish orange growers,

feat on French Territory.

London, Sept ga Sezanne dis.
patch to "The Daily Telegraph" dated
September 81, says:
"The first German army TO be thor
oughly whipped on French soil was
that Of the Crown Prince. It's rout
saved Paris.
"At the time Of their victory the
French did not know the extent OF the
damage they had indicted on the en-
emy. Actually they had smashed the
flower of German military power.
General Won Kluck's misfortunes
we're due directly to the rout OF the

of September 6. II actually retreated
twenty-four miles during that night.
ain the plan of the German opera
tions the path that promised the great
est glory was reserved for the Crown
Prince, but the French army opposed
him with splendid strategy. In retreat
they fought stubbo-nly over every inch
of ground, and when the time came for
the offensive they assumed 1t in the
most effective manner"
Describing the battle on September
6, the correspondent says: "The bat
tie began at daybreek and continued
Il.
ANYTHING in history. The shells were
timed as falling thirty in thirty Sec
onds.
"The losses, especially TO the Ger
mans, were enormous. One estimate
by a trained observer places as high
as 100000 the German casualties, of
which 10000 were killed. 1t must be
remembered that the battle front ex-
tended for nearly forty miles. 1t was
largely Of marsh lands, and here the
enemy suffered most.
"The French also suffered heavily.
One corps was entirely wiped out:
When night came neither side could
claim much advantage in position
gained and a tremendous quantity OF
ammunition had been expended.
"Then on the night of the 9th and
7th came the mysterious German re-
treat. Various theories were ad-
vanced to explain 1t. First, there may
have been a sortie from Verdun; such
an operation while the ain force was
heavily engaged would Sring havoc to
any army; second, the army transport
service may have broken down. This
after the enormous expenditure of
ammunition, might have compelled the
Crown Princes army to fall back or
be CAPTURED.
"Of course the lighting on this wing
continued for several days, but the
Germans were only trying to save what
was left of the badly crippled army
from complete destruction.
with the Crown Prince retreating,
there was nothing left for General Won
Kluck's and General Won Buelow's ar
mics but to execute the same ma
neuvre. This brought about the battle
Of the Disc and all subsequent fighting,
and the rumor persists that the Crown
Prince was wounded. Whether that is
so or not, his army almost disappeared
from the theatre of operations"
