CHARCOAL AS CURE
FOR CONSTIPATION
Trouble Is Easily Started and
the Hog Breeder Must Be on
Constant Lookout.

The hog feeder must watch out for
constipation, because it is 30 easily
started, and can easily lead to other
troubles. A sure safeguard against
constipation and similar troubles is
proper feeding. 1t is best not to over
feed the pigs, but rather let them be
eager for their feed and clean it up
quickly. Allow them free access to
wood ashes and charcoal. The char
coal Is a tonic, and the wood ashes
build bone as we'll as keep them in
good condition. Bone ash Is good to
supply material for the bones.
The most convenient way to secure
the charcoal is to burn corncobs.
Rake the cobs into windrow, and
start them burning by means of cobs
dipped in kerosene and placed in the
windrow at short intervals. When
they have burned enough scatter
them so they will not burn any more.
1t Is a good plan to sprinkle little
salt over the charred cobs, but this
is not necessary.
Pigs should, of course, have pasture
when it is available. Besides the eff
feet of the pasture in balancing the
ration and causing growth, the exer-
else taken in getting the grass is bene
fetal to the pigs.

SWEET CLOVER GOOD
TO RENOvATE SOILS
One Of Best Crops Available to
Improve Land-Makes Fine
Green Manure Crop.

There are few plants which Will
put rundown farms into condition for
producing crops as quickly as the once
despised sweet clover.
Because of its nitrogen-gathering
habit and the fact that its deep tap
roots bring large quantities OF min
eral plant food up from the subsoil
it is one of the best crops available
to improve land II plowed under 1t
makes a fine green manure crop.
Sweet clover is a biennial plant and
may be used with profit in the rota-
ton Of crops 1t is being used more
extensively each year as forage crop.
1t makes excellent pasturage for
horses, sheep, cattle and hogs. 1t may
be pastured early and late, and live

they are turned into it early.
There is little danger Of bloating

avoid pasturing when the clover 10

crop. It is worth baled all the way
from 81 to Sc a ton.
My dwelling and barn are located on
ground much higher than the field on
which the straw stack stands and on
which the wheat crop was grown.
Threshing the wheat and stacking the
straw on the lower ground saved haul
ing It up a steep grade to the barn and
stock lots An open straw shelter and
fenced lot have been built for calves
and colts for the winter months. They
communicate with a large pasture In
which the animals Craze practically
all the year. The calves and colts
can come to the lot and shelter when
ever they desire to do so. When the
ground is covered with snow they are
confined in the lot about the straw
stack all the time, being watered and
given extra feed besides the straw
The shelter is we'll covered with
straw and has three tight pole and
straw sides, making 1t thoroughly COM
Portable in cold and stormy weather

all the animals this calf and colt shell

duce it to manure during the winter.
By keeping some of the farm animals
n min fhnV ppt a
good share of their living from the
straw and by the time spring comes
the straw stack will be reduced to
good manure.
Many farmers thresh their small
grain crops away from their barn
grounds to save hauling the wheat a
long distance, yet in so doing the
straw stack Is in such location that
it cannot be economically used 1t
stands out in the field for several
years, gradually rotting down, but al
ways occupying valuable field space.
In the end practically no good has
been derived from the straw. The
good farm manager who realizes the
possible value of straw will arrange
to feed it as soon as possible after
threshing, or use it for bedding or
for some other good purpose. 1t Is
better to spread it back on the land
or use it for filling gullies than to al
low it to stand in the stack and SLOW
ly decompose for three or four years.
Straw makes an excellent temporary
animal shelter; it is ideal bedding ma
terial and it is fairly good roughage
for winter feeding of horses, cattle
and sheep.

Bitter Cure.

A grimly humorous incident of the
war is told in letter written by q
soldier to his mother in England:
There's one chap in our company
that's got rippin cure for neuralgia,
but he isn't going to take out pat
emf because it's too risky and might
kill the patient. Good lucks one Of
the ingredients, and you can't always
be sure of that.
He was lying in the trenches the
other day, nearly mad with pain in
his face, when German shell burst
close by. He wasn't hit, but the ex-
plosion knocked him senseless bit.
My neuralgia's gone, says he when
he came round. And SOS six Of your
mates said l. His names Palmer.
and that's why we now call the Ger
man shells 'Palmers neuralgia cure"

Department OF State, Washington.
! December 10. 1915.
You are instructed to address
note to the Austro Hungarian minister
OF foreign affairs, textually as follows.
The government OF the United
States has received the note OF your
excellency relative to the sinking OF
the Ancona, which was delivered at
Vienna on December Is. 1915. and
transmitted to Washington, and has
given the note immediate and careful

partment of state report Of the Aus.
tro-Hungarian admiralty with regard
to the sinking OF the steamship An
coma. in which it was admitted that
the vessel was torpedoed after her
engines had been stopped and when
passengers were still on board.
This admission alone is, in the
view of the government Of the United
States. sufficient to fix upon the com
mander of the submarine which fired
the torpedo the responsibility for hav-
ing willfully violated the recognized
law OF nations and entirely disregard
ed those humane principles which ev-
cry beligerent should observe in the
conduct OF war at sea. In view OF
these admitted circumstances. the
government of the United States feels
justified in holding that the details Of
the sinking of the Ancona, the weight
and character of the additional testi-
mony coIroborating the admiralty's
report, and the number OF Americans
killed or injured are in no way essen
tial matters of discussion. The culpa-
bility of the commander is in any case
established, and the undisputed fact
is that citizens of the United States
were killed, injured or put in jeopardy
by his lawless act.
The rules of international law
and the principles of humanity which
were thus wilfully violated by the
commander of the submarine. have
been 80 long and so universally recog.
nized, and are so manifest from the
standpoint of right and justice that
the government of the United States
does not feel called upon to debate
them and does not understand that
the imperial and royal government
questions or disputes them.
The government OF the United
States therefore finds no other course
open to it but to hold the imperial
and royal government responsible for
the act OF its naval commander, and
to renew the definite but respectful
demands made in its communication
of the sixth Of December, 1915. 1t sin.
cerely hopes that the foregoing state
ment Of its position will enable the
imperial and royal government to per
ceive the justice Of these demands
and to comply with them in the same
spirit OF frankness and with the same
concern for the good relations now
! existing between the United States
and Austria Hungary which prompted
the government OF the United States
to make them.

On the ranch where wheat and 9th.
or small grains are grown, the straw
from the crops can be made to serve
some useful ends. The best way to
preserve straw is to blow II into q
barn or similar shelter at threshing
time. On the special grain farm,
where but few animals are kept, there
is usually much more straw than can
possibly be used and on such places
no attempt, as a rule. is made to save
this by-product. On the general farm,
where a relatively large number of
domestic animals is kept. the annual
crop Of straw is valued highly as
rough winter feed and for bedding the
animals, writes J. F. Harris in Denver
Field and Farm. In many cases all of
the straw is placed under shelter in

steel body of the U-boat could be
heard. Slowly. slowly. darkness gives
way to the friendly light OF the COM
ing day, Ghostlike the submarine
glides over the dark green waters of
the restless North sea, the search

reigns.
Along the coast in the early morn
ing we see the big Krupp monsters
opening their mouths, awaiting the on
slaught OF the enemy's navy. We
hear the sailors and marine infantry
tramping to their daily tasks; now
and again the sound Of command
on land reaches our ear. On the quay
we see our Een-of-war, their cannon
looking out of the gun holes as much
as to say. I'VE are waiting"
Behind the portfolios of the subma-

the sentries at the tanks keep silent
watch. their loaded rifles always
ready to shoot. Short commands and

on our guard: the eyes of the men are

We are going now forward at full
speed to meet our prey. Hours and
hours pass and our boat is still above
the water, steering towards the Brit
ish coast, but no enemy as yet is in
sight. 1t seems as If our little boats
had driven them away and into safe
harbors. Merchant ships appear, but
they move cautiously in the now dan
gerous North sea.
A day has passed. the sun has set
and darkness again rules over the
dark green waters. In the tower the
commandant and chief engineer are
examining charts controlling the man
on the lookout, taking the glass to
search for their prey.
We have now arrived in the heart
of the enemy's waters and have to be
doubly cautious.
Again hours passed Attention! a
ship is in sight, its lights are dim and
the U-boat follows in it's wake; an
other signal and the little monster
makes ready to fall upon its prey.
Signal after signal follows; the gaso-

Special care is needed when pullets
are first transferred to their winter
quarters. If the chickens have been
roosting in the open air through the
summer and are suddenly transferred
to close and stuffy quarters. they are
almost sure to contract colds or even
roup. The windows and the door OF
the chicken house, therefore, should
not be closed too tightly at night un'

II any difference is made it should be

that the load is farther front from the
