TEACHING THE COLT TO LEAD
Take the Little Fellows When They arc Young and Easily Taught
 Don't Get In . Hurry.
(Ry M. COYERDELLO

(By M COVERDELL.)
 You often see Q man kick and cu6 the colt around. every time 1t hap pens to get in his way.
 After a while you will notice this same fellow out with the family help ing him to hem up two-year-old colt. whle-he can put halter on him.
 For the first two or three times they get the halter on. they have a regular circus in teaching the animal to lead and be halterwise. It is mighty hard and dangerous work. too, this breaking in big. strong two-year- old colts.
 Why not take the little fellows in hand when they are small, easily handled and quick to learn? Slip the halter on the colt occasionally and by slow degrees get 1t accustomed to leading up. when the lead strap 10 frightened and you move.
 But don't get in hurry. The colt has been used to going ahead of you, so don't expect 1t to follow too soon.
 A lump of sugar. or few oats held in the hand just in front of the little fellow are much better trainers in teaching 1t to lead than dragging 1t by the lead strap and having someone behind 1t with a club or fishing pole to 'shoo" 1t along.

AGED BROOD SoWs ARE BEST
Regular Breeders With Large Litters and Who Take Good Care of Pigs
 Are Proper Ones to Keep.

Sows that are regular breeders, farrow large filters and take good care of the little pigs, should be kept until they fail to be good pro- ducers. The principal test of wheth- CT a SOW is a good milker or not is the thrift of her pigs, and her con- dition while sucking them. If they thrive, and she eats literally and keeps in good health and digestion, and at the same time becomes 8 lit- tie thin while nursing her pigs, 1t is pretty good evidence that she is good mother and should be kept as long as her usefulness lasts.
 A regular breeder and a good mother is worth fully $50, and is val uable animal
 The young brood SOW usually im- proves as she natures, so that better results may be expected the second year.
 Very little progress can be made in building up good herd of hogs if the policy is to dispose of the young sows after they have farrowed one or two filters. Young sows are,
The Spectator., 1915-01-15

as rule, not as dependable pro- ducers as matured sows. They will. however, develop as they mature. aud can often be retained a number of years to advantage.
 Young sows do not farrow as strong filters and they are usually smaller than those from the mature sows.
 Young sows that are growing should be fed more liberally than older ones. The latter. if they have a warm, dry pen to sleep in, with plenty of dry leaves or straw for bedding. will re- Quire very little food.
 We feed our brood sows principal ly on bran soaked in water and whole oats. We always raise few stock beets and cabbage to feed when grass cannot be had. Keep an abundant supply of wood ashes. char. coal made from burnt corncobs in the feeding room. One of our most sue cessful breeders keeps his brood sows in ten-acre woods and grass pasture the year round.

A bill to be recommended by the Railroad Commission will give the commission authority to order switch ing within the switching limits of a city, and power to fix rates for such switching At present, officers of the commission say, this kind of switching is only done in LittIe Rock and Fort Smith. and to get the railroads to move a car from one point to another in any other city it is necessary to pay intercity rates instead of switch ing rates.

HIS HOME DESTROYED

Dispatches from the war zone In
East Prussia during, the past few days,
tell Of the occupation and destruction
of the city Of Tauroggen, in Russia.
T%auroggen is the birthplace of Mr..
Ben Levy of Yorkville, and since the
severest fighting in East Prussia during
the past week has been around this
place, Mr.. Levy has, Of course, been
very much interested in the war news.
According to Mr.. Levy, Tauroggen
is a city about the size Of Rock Hill
It Is only q short distance from the
Namen river and but a few miles from
Russo-Prussian frontier. The city has
been shelled numerous times by both
Germans and Russians and practically
all tina remains Of the once thriving
little town are q few bare walls.
Although the city was in Russian
territory, practically all the popula-
ton were Germans, and the sympathy
of that entire section Is pro-German.
Mr.. Levy has no immediate kindred in
the war stricken territory, since all
the members Of his family have moved
to the United States many Year, ago.
He has an aunt living at Memel, a
thriving city near Tauroggen, and also
other relatives there. A number Of his
cousins are in the Russian army, not
because Of their Russian ~sympathies,
but due to the fact that since they
live in the territory Of the Russian
car, they have no alternative other
than to fight the enemies Of the Rus
sian ruler.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-03-26

Germany is feeling a little sore at
the United States because Of her enor-
nous trade with England and France
in munitions Of a There Is reason
to believe that Of all the warning
countries, Germany alone has a rea-
sonably adequate supply Of wal ma
terials, and hat France and England
are now dependent upon the United
States to make up for the shortage In
the capacity Of their W arsenals and
ammunition factories. 1t Is not diff
cult to understand how the few fac-
tories required to supply all needed
war munitions in time Of peace should
be utterly unable to meet the demands
Of war on such a tremendous scale as
it Is now being waged. Here Is Eng
land, for instance. using ten times as
many guns and rifles as she ever ex-
pected to use, and ten times as much
ammunition, and Of course she could
not build the necessary factories In
time to meet the sudden increased de-
mand. 1t is the same with France.
Germany alone Is supposed to have
been keeping pace in the matter OF
arms and ammunition on a scale any
where in keeping with her tremendous
army. The British say that ever the
Germans are running short Of ammu-
milton and becoming more saving on
that account; but the Germans say the
suggestion is ridiculous. Anyway the
British and French are buying mill
lions Of dollars worth Of war munitions
from America and the Germans are
feeling that If 1t were not for the
American supplies, their armies would
soon be at the end Of their row
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-03-26

In an article in the current issue OF
Commerce and Finance, Richard Spill
man quotes authorities in support of
the statement that If the consumption
of gun cotton continues at its present
rate for the balance Of the season, l.
500, 600 bales Of cotton will have been
consumed for powder alone. Formerly
sufi cient linters were available for all
the cotton required in the manufacture
of gun cotton; but now the demand
has become so urgent that the manu-
facturers are not willing to wait for
linters; but want the real article. And
another important consideration Is
that the actual belligerents are not the
only ones who want cotton, lots OF 1t
and right now; but all the neutral pow
ers are under the necessity Of increas-
ing their stocks Of powder and they
too are hungry for cotton. The figures
given are at best only an estimate;
but they are nevertheless interesting
to say significant. 1t means that
although the present crop Is the larg-
on record, there will be no surplus
Of raw cotton or manufactured
material. The surplus Is simply being
annihilated, wiped entirely
out Of existence. There are those who
think this situation Is having a tire
mendous effect on the advancing price
Of cotton, and the theory Is certainly
not unreasonable.
