OTTAWA FEARS A ERoPlANE RAID.

OTTAWA. Feb 15.-Follow1ng the report of two aeroplanes having been seen flying over Canadian soil from the direction of New York state. the au- thorities have given preemptory orders for the shrouding of all lights in the capital, evidently fearing an aeropIane raid. For hours last night the city was shrouded in almost total darkness and the populace were hushed into silence by tho threatened danger. The House of Parliament and all public buildings passed the night with all shades drawn and lights masked. Nothing has since been seen of the aeros but il is all nounced that due precaution must be used and all street lighting will remain suspended until the danger has passed. The government is systematically searching the country for further news of the airmen.

Don't Be Misled
Progressive Farmer

TTO2reSSlNc FARMER
AS the planting season ap-
proaches cotton mounts upward,
new crop months in New Or
leans and New York now selling
around ten cents. Whether this
rise be due to speculative mani.
pulation, to larger consumption
OF cotton than was anticipated,
to prospects for reduced acre
age, or to combination OF these
factors, is difficult to say.
The point we wish 10 make
here is that this rise, coming at
this late date when probably
four-fifths of last years crop has
left the growers hands, may do
more harm than good. 1t most
certainly will if it be allowed to
mislead farmers into planting
another big cotton crop at the
expense of food and feed crops.
We are not quarreling with
the man who is doing good
farming-who is raising plenty
of bread, meat, potatoes, hay,
and legumes to enrich his land.
and then making cotton his sur
plus cash crop; but for the all
cotton farmer, be he landowner
or tenant, TO persist in doing as
he has done in the past is little
less than tragedy. Such men
have never raised cotton at a
real profit, and they never will,
be the price high or low.
DO we want another fall like
last fall? Are we going TO let
the South pass through such
another period of hard times?
We are at the parting of the
ways. The next six weeks will
determine whether Southern
farmers are going to commit
economic suicide. Surely, surely
our bitter lesson has not been in
IN vain; surely we are not to be
mlsled by the glittering bauble
OF high priced cotton when we

thoroughly dried in an old

steady in their frames as if they

Soldering a Gasoline Can.

Owens, colored, was repairing at
his shop yesterday morning ex-
ploded with a loud report. that
was heard all over town. He
was preparing to solder the
spout on the can, and had
emptied all the gasoline out of it
that he could and did not think
that there was enough left to do
any damage, bat as soon as the
hot iron touched the top of the
can the gasoline in the inside
caught fire and exploded at once.
No damage was done except 10

Breeding Scrub Sows

The Federal Division of Ami
NAL Husbandry has long sought
TO impress upon Southern
farmers the fact that their native
scrub cows when bred TO pure
bred bulls produce excellent
types Of beef animals. The same
principle applies to the Southern
scrub SoW-the razorback.
Examples of the successful
breeding of such sows to pure
bred boarS are not lacking.
Georgia can furnish an abun-
dance Of instances. James f..
DOWNING, plsruU Orgsts4sy1 fn
Georgia, is always ready TO tell
about razorback SOW owned
by S. l.. Bowling, seven miles
from Valdosta.
This sow was bred to a pure
bred Berkshire boar. The sow
produced three litters of pigs in
one year, and one of the gifts of
her first litter produced seven
pigs. The first litter numbered
eleven; the second, twelve; and
the third, twelve. This made a
total of forty-two pigs, all pro-
duced in one year. All of them
were strong, thrifty animals.
When slaughtered the eleven
pigs OF the first litter dressed an
average of l74 pounds. The
second litter of twelve dressed
an average of l46 pounds. Both
lots sold at ten cents a pound
a total of $4,000. The first litter
cost four cents a pound to pro-
duCe, and the second litter cost
two cents a pound. The total
cost of the two litters slaughter
ed was $l11.60. This amount.
subtracted from $366.6o. leaves
$255 as profit on the two litters.
When Mr.. Bowling visited the
farm to get these figures there
remained to be accounted for
the last litter of twelve pigs and
the gilt and her seven pigs--a
total of twenty to be slaughtered
and converted into money.

A Thief Defined.

From Billy Sundays Sermon on
tie Ten Commandments.
Thou shalt not steal" Listen
a minute. A man is thief when
he takes that for which he does
not give adequate return, either
in property, work or money. A
man is thief when he makes
false representations. A man is
a thief when he says: This is all
WOOL" and ii is half cotton. A
man is thief when he SAYS:
This is imported" when it was
made in Philadelphia. A man
is a thief when he says: This is
a pure article" when it is adult
Grated. If he knows it, under
stand he is a thief.
The employer that makes the
worklngman work for wages
that keep him on the verge of
starvation and don't begin to
pay him for the labor he expends
is thief; SO is the workingman
that doesn't give his employer
honest return for his wages a
thief. The church that holds a
lottery is a thief, too.
