GETS BOARs INTO CONDITION
to Get Too Fat Some Breeders
Walk Them Before FEEDING.

A boar that is put into show con-
dition or permitted to get too fat often
fails as breeder and after being re-
duced in flesh is still unreliable and
uncertain. American Swineherd tells
how some breeders handle their hogs
to get them in good shape after they
are too fat or have come back from
the fairs. Several walk them a mile
or two miles, sometimes in the morn
ing before feeding them, and have
very little corn the ration.
One herdsman purchased two we'll
known boars that either on account of
shipment or too frequent usage be-
fore refused to breed. The first one
he put in an by Is foot stall. then
permitted no one to annoy or strike
him. He cut down his feed and let
a sow run around near the pen. In
six or eight weeks he hau spirited up
until the herdsman was the only one
who could handle him and he always
used hurdle, on the ground that a
boar should never be i'll treated. Re-
suits were so good that the same plan
was followed when the second boar
came. In each case both animals
turned out tirst-class breeders after

TIE RING Is A CONVENIENCE
Useful Continuance Can &c Made Out
of Old Bride Rit-Allow Free
Hinged Movement of Rinu.

A tie ring at the barns one can en-
pIoy TO make a secure hitch without
knotting the tie Strap, is indeed a
useful contrivaDce. Such a one can
be easily made of an old bride bit.
Take cold chisel and cut the bit at
the hinge, or II 1t Is a stiff bit, cut 1t
near the middle. This will give US
two rings, with a shorthinged lever
on each-enough material for two tie
rings. Now fasten the rings to the
hitch posts, or to the barn walls at
convenient places, in such a manner
as TO allow a free-hinged movement
OF the ring. Use large nails to fasten
the rings to the barn or post, and fas-
ten in such manner that the lever
will be at the loweTmost part of the
ring.
IN using this tie ring double, the tie
strap and place the loop end through
the ring from the underneath side.
Lift the lever and place it through the
loop in the strap, Jerk the strap
sharply, TO bind it on the lever, and
the tie is effective. To make a secure
tie place the end OF the strap through
the ring, from the underneath side,
and give it two turns about the lever,
returning the free end down through
the ring, on the opposite side of the
lever. This makes a very secure tie,
and one that is easy to unfasten.
To unfasten either tie, lift the
lever, and slip the loop OF loops
from it.

DOUBLE ROW PLAN IN FAVOR
Celery Plants Grew With Unusual
Vigor and Averaged Larger Than
Those Set in Single Rows.

Last summer instead of planting
our celery in single rows as hereto
fore, we planted double rows, says a
writer in an exchange. The ground
is upland, and was in fairly good con-
dition, crop Of early potatoes having
already been harvested. It was not
replowed, but was well narrowed and
leveIed.
The rows where the celery was to
be set were spaded, two spades wide.
The upper soil was thrown to one
side and well-Totted manure, supple
mented with complete fertilizer, was
used in the row. This was well raked
in with the pronged hoe, the soil that
was thrown out was returned and the
plot Ieveled.
The plants were set by line. in
double rows six inches apart and the
plants six inches apart in the row.
The double rows were four feet apart.
The plants grew with unusual vigor
and averaged larger than those set
in single rows. and better than any
we have ever grown under the single
row system. The advantage lies in
the saving of labor in banking, and in
economy of space, as more plants can
be grown on the same lapd.

PLACE FOR SEED CORN
One of Most important Factors in
Increasing Yield.
Three Necessary Conditions for Stor-
ins-Air Circulation to Garry Off
Moisture, Even Temperature
and Early Selection.

After time has been spent selecting
seed corn, it would be folly TO store it
in place where il would not keep.
Freshly gathered seed corn should not
be left in piles in a warm room, or on
the floor. 1t will either sprout. mold
or do both. Always store seed corn
where there is a good circulation Of
air, so it will dry out quickly. Never
leave it in boxes, in piles, on the
porch or in the barn. 1t should be
taken care of at once.
There are only three necessary con-
ditiOns for storing seed corn; and, If
these are followed, one may be rea-
sonably sure that 95 per cent or more
of his corn will terminate, provided
it was properly matured. First, there
must be a good circulation of air
about each ear, to carry away the sur
plus moisture. Second, a temperature
must be maintained above freezing
until the seed is thoroughly dry.
Third, seed corn must be selected
early enough so that it may have
plenty of time to dry before cold
weather.
Many devices, easily and cheaply
built, are now in use whereby circu-
lation of air can be secured around
each ear of corn. Four very desirable
methods of storing seed corn on the
farm are here suggested. A frame Of

Germany Flatly Rejects Any In
demnity Claim.
REGRETS THE LOSS OF LIFE
Note to American Government Says
Submarine Commander Was JUS
titled in Action by Fear
of Attack.

Berlin (via Amsterdam). Sept. g.
Germany in her note to the United
States government on the sinking Of
the Arabic expresses regret for the
loss of American lives, but states pos
itively that no indemnity for such can
be granted.
The refusal to grant indemnity is
absolute and will stand even if the
submarine commander should have
been mistaken as to aggressive inten-
lions on the part of the Arabic.
Following is the text of the note,
made public tonight:
On August 10 a German submarine
stopped the English steamer Dunsley
about sixteen nautical miles south of
Kinsale and was on the point of sink
ing the prize by gunfre after the
crew had left the vessel. At this mo-
ment the commander saw large
steamer, as developed later, the Ara
bic. She was recognized as an enemy
vessel, as she did not fly any flag and
bore no neutral markings.
When she approached she altered
her original course, but then again
pointed directly toward the submarine.
From this the commander became con-
WINGED that the steamer had the in
tention of attacking and ramming him.
In order to anticipate this attack he
gave orders for the submarine to dive
and fired a torpedo at the steamer.
After firing he convinced himself that
the people on board were being res
cued in Is boats.
According to his instructions, the
commander was not allowed to attack
the Arabic without warning and with
out saving the lives unless the ship at
tempted to escape or offered resist
ance. He was forced, however, to con-
clude from the attendant circum-
stances that the Arabic planned vio-
lent attack on the submarine.
This conclusion is all the more OBJ
vious as he had been fired upon at a
great distance in the Irish sea on Au-
gust 14-that is, a few days before
by a large passenger steamer, appar-
emily belonging to the British Royal
had neither attacked nor stopped.
The German government most deep
ly regrets that lives were lost through
the action of the commander. 1t par
ticularly expresses this regret to the
government of the United States on
account of the death of American citi-
zens.
The German government is unable,
however, to acknowledge any obliga-
ton to grant indemnity in the matter,
even if the commander should have
been mistaken as to the aggressive in
tentions Of the Arabic.
If it should prove to be the case that
it is impossible for the German and
American governments to reach a har-
monious opinion on this point, the Ger
man government would be prepared to
submit the difference of opinion, as be-
ing a question of international law, to
The Hague tribunal for arbitration,
pursuant to article SO of The Hague
convention for the pacific settlement
of international disputes.
In so doing it assumes that as a mat
ter of course the arbitral decision shall
not be admitted to have the impor-
lance of a general decision on the per-
instability or the converse under in
ternational law, of German submarine
warfare.

Fowls, to Be Profitable, Should Reach
Laying Maturity Before Severe
Weather Sets In.

The farmer who would increase the
profits of his flock must Gull his pull
let's vigorously. One reason why fowls
are improbable during the fall and
winter months is that too many runty.
weak and undeveloped pullets are WIN
tered. To be profitable, the pullets
should reach laying maturity before
settled cold weather begins. If they
are not fully matured before cold
weather they will rarely lay until
spring.
The pullet that begins to lay in the
fall may be depended on to be q good
all-year-'rOund layer, and if no profit
is realized from the flock during the
fall and winter months, it is because
the fully-matured, laying puIlets have
to support too many drones-old hens
and immature pullets.
All pullets that lag behind those of
the same age IN growth, should be
marketed as soon as possible.

across his features. and he leaned
over the low fence inclosing a cot

COWS TORMENTED BY FLIES
Use Repellent of Some Kind
Increases Milk Flow.

Ever notice how cows come up on
their milk in fly time, when cool,
breezy spell that temporarily checks
the flies happens along? It's mostly
because the poor beasts get a chance
to feed without being driven to it by
actual hunger. and they lose less vi
tally from being tormented by the
flies.
Trouble is such spells don't come
often enough nor last long enough to
have much value, but you can gain
just about the same ends by putting
fly dope on the COWS. 1t costs little,
takes little time to apply and pays
well Try it.
