Here are the origins of some Of the

ing been the first company of an In

mated in the fact that In the old days
the holders of those ranks carried a
lance instead OF hdlberd, round the
head of which was twisted a slow
match. Their duties were to 60 round
the ranks with these torchlike lances
and give fire to the matchbox men just
before a battle took place.
The word "dragoon' was first used
OF regiment OF mounted infantry, SO
called from the dragons or short
muskets. with which they were armed:
the well known cavalry call of Boot

the old French signal, "Doute selle,"
or "Put on your saddles" Admiral"
comes from che Arabic sEmir of bagh,"
meaning Lord of the sea-; "commo-
doren comes from the Italian com
mandatore;n mate is from the Ice

1t is common knowledge that the
swine industry Of Maryland is and has
been for number of years at very
low ebb in SO far as the production Of
pork is concerned. Instead Of raising
on our farms enough hogs to supply
the citizens Of our towns and cities.
we are actually importing every year
from sister States vast quantities Of
pork and pork products to meet their
demands. Yet in the face of this evil
dence practically every hog breeder
within our borders will tell you that
for the money invested there is no
other animal on the farm which
will yield SO large profit. If
he merits this reputation, why is it
that our farmers pay so little at
tention to him? To answer the ques-
Non is dif1cult, but it is quite prob
able that the extension and spread Of
hog cholera and diseases generally are
largely responsible for existing condi-

there are any number Of farmers who

AN OLD DUTCH LEGEND.
How Jantie the 6eIlringer Saved sluis
From the Spaniards.

How Jantie the 5eIlringer Saved Sluis
From the Spaniards.
An old statue in the steeple near the
bells at Sluis, in Holland. which was
originally erected iii honor of Jantje
van Sluis, is worked by mechanical
means, which cause it to strike the bell
at every hour and half with ham,
mer.
Jantje was bellringer and watch
man during the eighty years. war with
Spain. On the night of June IL, 1906,
Du Terrail, Spanish captain, resolved
to recover Sluis, the principal fortress
of iceland, from Prince Maurice Of
Orange, who had conquered 1t two
years previously.
When the clock struck nine it was
arranged that the Spanish soldiers
should sound false alarm at one gate
in order to draw the Dutch soldiers
away from another, thus leaving a
means Of ingress for the enemy.
Providentially Jantje forgot to wind
up the clock till late in the evening,
and, being terribly afraid of ghosts, he
did it SO hastily that he damaged the
works. Another story AYERS that he
was intoxicated. the result of Sluis
fair, which had been held on that after
noon.
Be that as it may, Terrail waited in
vain to hear the familiar striking of
the old clock. and thus the attack was
put off till midnight. In the meantime
the garrison had suspected something
amiss and were on the alert. Conse-
quently the Spaniards were repulsed
with great loss.
Jantje had accidentally saved his
town, and to honor him his fellow cit
liens erected the bell ringing statue to
his perpetual memory. London Taller.

man, containing as 1t does, 45 per
cent Of protein and "a therms of en-.
ergy. Ordinarily it is not advisable
to feed more than to rs pounds per
day.
AS It Is constipating, some laxative
feed should be used in the ration with
cotton seed meal, such as bran, lin
seed meal, or the legume hays. Since
cottonseed is rich in protein, 1t viii
be economy to supply large part Of
the protein needed in the ration from
this feed.
The following grain mixtures are
suggested for grain production:
800 lbs. corn or hominy chop
100 lbs. wheat bran
100 lbs. cottonseed meal.
The above ration is calculated to be
fed when the roughage Is made up
Of silage and alfalfa or some other
legume hay such as clover, COW peas
or soy beans. A part Of the. silags
may be replaced by cut fodder In
case no legume hay can be had the fol.
lowing mixture will more nearly fin
the requirements:
200 lbs. corn or hominy chop
100 lbs. bran
100 lbs. cottonseed meal.
The grain mixtures should be fed at
the rate of one pound Of grain to three
pounds of milk produced. The COW
should be given all the roughage she
will consume without waste.
