DR.. E. F. Phillips Of the U. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture, says that it
is conservative estimate to claim
that hte honey bee does more good
to agriculture in it's office as cross
pollinator than it does as a honey

this, and keep bees solely for the
benefits derived from cross -fertiliza- :

Special narrowing pens are provldeo
only when many breeding soWs are
kept. but where there is TO be re-

come thoroughly accustomed to her

There is considerable difference OF
opinion as TO why sows Kill and eat
their young and no doubt the causes
are as diverse as the theories ad-
yanced TO account for it. One OF
them, however. and not the least COM
mon, is insufficient space.
A SOW when she lies down in close
quarters is apt to catch an unfOrtu-
nate yOungster between her carcass
and the wall, against which she gen.
orally places her back when sucking
her pigs.
The farrowing pen should, Of
course, be regulated to some extent
by the size Of the breed kept but gen.
orally the space allowed is too limited
and we frequently see big, heavy sows
with hardly room to turn around in
the diminutive apartment that, previ-
Gus to farrowing, served them as
sleeping quarters.
Small breeds should be allowed a
space Of not less than eight feet by
eight feet, increasing in the case OF
the larger breeds up to IL feet by
feet or II feet by 10 feet, and to
prevent the young pigs from being
crushed aaginst the wall it is a good
plan to fix a strong rail around each
side Of the farrowing place, at a
height Of from seven to nine inches
from the floor and a similar dista nee
from the wall.

GRAFT AND GREED.-It is with
feeling of deep and heartfelt sympa
thy that 1 venture to express a few
thoughts on the great calamity that
has befaIIen Chicago by the sinking
of the Eastland.
To me the tragic fate of the vic
tins of the fatal ship is no surprise.
It is only the natural and inevitable
result of the profit system. tits sim
ply one more sacrifice to the mOlOch
of mammOn.
1t has been said long ago that for
a catain percentage capital would
risk any crime, no matter how das-
tardly. The sinking Of the ship at
that dreadful hour on Saturday is
nothing more than the gambling of
life for mere gain.
The owners of the boat, it's cap
tain, engineer and lot of other Of
ficials knew full well the condition it
was in, yet they allowed it to leave
the pier to its inevitable doom. No

the INSCRIPTIONS lust for. gain. Nay,
it will not even console the bereaved.
We may investigate and fix re-
sponsibiity, but so long as profit is
the end and aim of modern life the
invisible powers behind the thrones
will see to it that the guilty ones will
escape the hands of justice.
No amount of mourning will safe
guard the lives of people so long as
graft and greed are the keynOtes Of
the municipal affairs of Chicago.
There are thousands Of men whose
business is to kill, MAIN and hold up
innocent men and women at large
through the protection Of politics. So
long as we tolerate such state OF
affairs, why do we complain. about
disasters?

Germans AGAIN DROP
BOMB ON DUNKIRK
By The United Press.


LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE German
aerial activities continue to increase.
Dunkirk was again bombarded on
Sunday, ten German biplanes flying
across the city and dropping explo-
sives. A number OF buildings were
badly damaged and several persons
wounded. No one, however, was
killed, and the aviators were finally
driven off by the fort fire
These same aeroplanes, il is believ-
ed, were part of the same squadron,
which was reported as flying over the
English Channel earlier in the day.
At that time they were said to have
been accompanied by Q Zeppelin and
it is believed here that they were test
ing out the air currents and general
weather conditions. Every precau-
ton has been taken by the govern
ment for the anticipated air raid. Al
all of the coast stations new improved
high calibre aerial guns have been
mounted while British aviators witt

guns are on duty at strategic points.
