Alan had no argument with which to
gainsay him. Silently getting on his
feet, silently he CROPPED for Rose In the
darkness, momentarily becoming more
dense as the fall Of water shut out
the light, and drew her away with him,
up the slight incline that led back to
the bulkhead.
The hour that followed lived ever
in his memory as an hour in hell. No
ray Of hope lightened its impenetrable
biackness. He could say nothing to
comfort the girl; bravely though she
strove to keep up her heart, time and
again she shook in his arms like a mad
thing, when panic dread caught her
by the neck as a terrier catches a rat.

BROOD soWs NEED GOOD CARE

Now is the time to take good care of
the brood SOW for best results, accord
ing to B. L. Thompson, Associate Pro
lessor of Animal H%usbandry at State
College. If the brood SOW is to pro-
duce a large litter of strong thrifty
pigs, it is necessary during these cold
winter months to give her suitable
shelter, exercise, and liberal feeds
which include the nutrients required
by the pregnant sow.
"The shelter" a y Prof. Thompson,
should be well ventilated, dry and
well lighted. Portable houses may be
advantageously used part of the year,
but at narrowing time a well planned
and well built permanent structure Is
needed. Personally, l prefer a semi
monitor type of roof and one Of sufic-
lent width for two rows of pens with
a feed alley between. The pitch of the
roof should be such that the north row
of pens will get the suns rays during
the middle Of the day. This building
of course, should face the south"
Prof. Thmopson suggests that the
SOW may be exercised by feeding her
some distance from the sleeping quar-
ters, by scattering the grain thinly
over a clean feeding floor, or feeding
the grain in a hog motor. Feeds should
contain an abundance of mineral mat
ter and protein, in which elements
corr is low, therefore being unsatis-
factory alone. Corn does well when
supplemented whit skim milk, tankaga,
middlings, alfalfa and clover. Allow
about three pounds of milk to each
pound of corn. Allow one pound of
tankage to eight or ten pounds of
corn. Alfalfa furnishes a cheap and
satisfactory supplement to com, and
oats also when they are low in price.
"No matter what the ration may be,
the sows should be in good flesh by
narrowing time. Give plenty of warm
water regularly. AS narrowing time
approaches, place the sows in separate
w%ell-bedded pens so they will become
accustomed to the new quarters. Feed
thin slop containing bran or oilmeal
to keep the bowels open. Disturb
them as little as possible at narrowing
time, yet watch so that aid may be
given when necessary. Feed lightly
after narrowing a thin slop of shorts
or bran, increasing the feed only grad
.ually to avoid causing the pigs to
scour."

For months Brookings citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by
Brookings residents. Would these
prominent people recommend a rem

Would they confirm their statements

to be worthy of endorsement? The
following statement should carry con.

The timbering caught fire without de-

As Alan said his last mute farewell

Joseph T. Johnson, Jr, son Of Judge
Joseph T. Johnson, of the Western dis
trict Of South Carolina, has been ap-
pointed revenue inspector for South
Carolina, a job that is said to pay
about $4,000 a year, and the judge is
coming in for more criticism. The
place, it is understood, was first offered
to John w. Gregory Of Union, who re-
fused it because he feared that he did
not have sufficient knowledge of book
keeping, etc, to take care Of it. The
criticism iin Judge Johnson is based
on the /, that he should be satisfied
with the Jod job he has landed for
himself, without thinking of accepting
something in addition for his son.
Somehow we are unable to see any
good ground for a row in the matter.
If the job was created merely for the
pap that is in it, instead of for the
public service, then no man who Is
worth his salt would have it: but if it
be matter of giving value received
then young Johnson probably accepted
for the same reason that Mr.. Gregory
declined. and there appears to be but
little ground for justifiable criticism.
What they are quarreling about we
fail to see.

There are strong indications in the
Of the British press that the
British people are weakening some
what in their confidence in Lord Kitch-
ener, secretary of war, and Winston
Churchill, head of the admiralty. The
complaint against Lord Kitchener
seems to be that he is not taking the
people into his confidence sufficiently
and that he should tell them what is
going on at the front, no matter how
unfavorable. So strict is the British
press censorship that the English pa
pers are not able to get as satisfactory
information even as the American pa
pers. and the information that is being
published in the American papers Is
enough. There is dis
position to in some way blame Mr..
Churchill for the heavy losses the navy
has been sustaining and his failure to
curb the activities Of the German sub
marines. Within the past few days
there has been a organization OF the
British ministry by a coalition of the
various parties; but it is understood
that there are to be no radical changes
of policy. All parties stand for the
continued prosecution of the war as
energetically as possible.
