berley of Cincinnati. A special invi-
tation has been extended to doubters

in which millions of men are inter-
ested in an Illuminating way. The
services are deepening in spiritual in
terest Last evening the evangelist
discussed what Is Salvation?" He
said in part:
Some men think they can be good
Christians and at the same time be
trick traders, unscrupulous employers,
wretched neighbors; but salvation
means a life freed from all mean
ness, fraud, trickery and unkindness.
Christ saves from cankerous care ard
worry over the body and its needs.
He makes happy homes here and
promises a heavenly home hereafter "

Tax Collections
Coming in Good

During the month of January this
year Tax Collector Mont J. Reid col
lected $4,000 in taxes, which is $4,
900 above the amount taken in during
the same period of 1913, according to
figures given out by Mr.. Reid this
morning.
A fact that is pleasing to the tax
collector is that the penalties on the
$4,000 were less than on the $4,000
collected in January, 1918, showing
that the taxpayers paid their first
installment better than a year ago.
Payments on the second installment
are coming in in good shape, stated
Mr.. Reid this morning, and there is
every reason to believe that the Janu
ary record will be kept up. The tax
collector wishes it to be known that
if all those who do not know what
their second installment amounts to,
will write to him he will be glad to
give them the information and that
his office is always ready to assist the
taxpayers at any and all times.

MULE MOST VALUABLE ASSET

Down South used to hear them say

recognize the value Of the mule as q
farm animal and would rather have
q team OF mules than a team Of

Mules are easy to raise, and don't
know of an easier way of making

them, says a Missouri writer In the
Farm Progress. Amy kind of a mule
team that is fairly sound is market

goes up along toward planting time In
the spring.

WATERING MILK FOR SWINE
Skimmilk Alone Is Poor Food and
often Results In Digestive Trou-
bIes-AIfalfa Is Best.

II would make anybody pretty hot
to know that the milk he is buying
is watered. Nevertheless, the addi-
ton Of water to milk fed to the hogs
is often advisable. Where milk is fed
exclusively, or in large amounts, as is
customary in most diaries, digestive
troubles often result among the swine.
Milk as an exclusive diet is harmful,
wasteful and unwise proposition, but
even when some other things are
given with, the addition OF about one
third water is usually beneficial.
Several of the best hog men add
this amount of water and let the milk
stand in barrel in as cool place as
possible during warm weather until
the mixture begins to sour and then
feed 1t. The advantage comes partly
in diluting the feed so that when a
hog has stomachful there will not be
the amount of food In 1t that there
would be If pure skimmilk were given.
1t also gives the weaker pigs better
chance at the food.
1t is good plan to have some cor
receive, like charcoal, wood ashes,
ETC., mixtures often recommended, be-
fore the hogs all the time, but this Is
especially necessary when much milk
is given.
AS matter Of fact, skimmilk alone
is poor business. Hogs are In de-
mand, and dairyman could raise
twice as many, and better ones, too,
If he fed some alfalfa with the milk,
and each pig would cost him less when
ready for the packer.
Alfalfa is best for hogs cut when
about two-thirds as far along as that
cut for cows. II Is more tender and
digestible, and as it is cut three times
for hogs to twice for cows, as much
can be secured per acre. The alfalfa
should be cured. but not dead dry.
A very tasty food is made by putting
about four pounds of salt with each
ton OF this, and the hogs will go to It
quicker than they will to green al
falfa. On a 20-cow dairy about twice
the hogs can be turned on per year
by such feeding OF one acre Of alfalfa,
as would be turned of II only skim
milk were fed. which is good bush
ness.

nanoIeon,a Vain Effort.

One hundred years ago Napoleon
found himself face to face with the
allied army under Prince Swartzen-
berg. The encounter took place be-
tween the towns Of Troyes and Arcis.
The meeting was something of a sur
prise to the French. for they had not
expected to come up with the enemy
so soon. Neither we're they prepared
TO find the foe so numerically strong.
The first charge Of the Russian cav
airy threatened Napoleon's person.
and a Polish battalion had scarcely
time to form In square for his protec-
ton. A few minutes afterward
shell fell at his feet and severely
wounded his horse. The French sol
diers, though only one against three.
fought everywhere with prodigious
valor. but all their efforts could only
succeed in rendering the result doubt
full. The action checked only momen-
tarily the onward march of the In
vaders.

People today have come to realize
the value and hygienic necessity of
plenty of fresh air. This has come
about through long education. The
fresh-air cure for consumption is even
now established as fact, and camps

needless to say that no member of
