RIGHT Treatment

When most farmers prepare to build
fences they set green posts and then
when they begin to rot off at the top
of the ground after four or five years
they grumble and fret a great deal
about the trials and tribulations of
fencing AS matter of fact, if the
posts are neatly piled in the dry and
allowed to thoroughly season, and then
are treated by charring the end which
is to be placed in the ground, and the
top, which should be slanting, is
painted with red lead and linseed oil,
they will last so or so years.

WARNING BRINGS ON CRISIS
Serious Situation Develops When Ber-
lin DiscIaims Responsibility for
Deaths in North Sea.

Washington, May S.-The question
of the immunity of American citizens
from harm in the naval war zone sur
rounding the British isles has come to
be the most serious between the Unit
ed States and Germany.
The White House and the state de-
partment learned with surprise that
Germany had taken a position antag-
onistic to the contentious of the Unit
ed States that Americans and Ameri-
can property, whether aboard neutral
or belligerent merchant vessels, shall
not be harmed by German submarines
or other war craft
The German embassy authorized
publication of notices warning Ameri-
cans that they would take passage on
British and French liners at their own
risk
By publishing this warming the Ger
man government has provided a basis
for disclaiming responsibility for any
harm which may come to American
passengers aboard liners of enemy
nationality which its submarines may
destroy.

TERRIER is A "PANDHANDLER''
Bubbles" Collected Pennies Enough
TO Pay the Price for His
License.

Warren, Mass.-For the license of
Bubbles, a dog owned by Edward w.
Burns, former proprietor of the Hotel
Ramsdell, 200 cents were paid to
Town Clerk William F. Duncan. Bub-
bles collected the cents himself from
travelling statesmen and other guests
in the hotel. He is Boston bull ter
rier, six years old, and is known to
every child here.
Bubbles will not be satisfied un-
less he is given cent. At all times
he will refuse silver. When cent
is thrown to him, he grabs it in his
teeth and runs to a corner of a room,
and then returns for more.
At the beginning of the year Mr..
Burns son began to save the cents
received by Bubbles. The cents are
on exhibition in the window Of Main

LAST OF JOHN BROWNS AIDS
Follower of Famous AboIitionist Lives
in Kansas and Is Hale and
Robust at Eiohty-Four.

Salina. Kan-Luke T. Parsons, who
has resided on farm near Salina for
fifty years, has the distinction of be-
ing the last of the survivors of all the
men directly associated with John
Brown and his famous border warfare
just preceding the war between the
states.
Parsons left his home in Massa-
chusetts in 1856 to aid the Free Soil
ers in the Kansas-Missouri border
warfare, following Brown through the
series of skirmishes which eliminated
i'm the famous battle Of Osawatomie.
He was then selected as one of the
ten picked men who were to accom-
pany Brown on his raid through Vir-
ginia; but, owing to the delay Of
nearly a year in completing the plans
for his adventure, he left the expedi-
ton at Cleveland, O., thus missing the
Harper's Ferry disaster by a few
weeks.
Parsons health at eighty-four years
Of age, is robust, and he is still able
to do as much work as the average
man. 1t was not until recent years
that he permitted himself to talk of
the John Brown affair and his con-
nection with it. Now all of his COM
patriots are dead, and he is the last
link connecting this tragic page in
American history with the present.

MAKING MONEY In
PORK PRODUCTION
Quality Is More important Than
Size in Breeders-Avoid
EIephantine Animal.

1t is mighty hard work to correct
your lack of ability as a feeder by
buying a coarse boned breeding boar.
The best type of swine have been
evolved from the experience of breed
ers and packers.
Quality is more important than size
in selecting the breeding stock
We are at the beginning of a pc
Rod of enlightenment concerning the
possibilities of hog farming.
Heavy feeding does not always pro-
duce propOrtionate gains.
At five months of age, the pigs most
valuable asset is about one hundred
and twenty pounds of bone and muscu-
lar development, aided and supported
by keen and natural appetite.
Avoid the elephantine hog or steer
they are freaks that cannot be re-
lied upon to give a carcass of great
value or weight
The liberty of pasture affords the
growing pigs the exercise necessary
to produce perfect health and body
development
6CI IdIlu, young Ludus anu raise
good hogs.
1t is a mistake to think we can
find profit in buying milk feeds to
supplement our corn crop, and neg
lect to provide pasture and forage
crops.
Coarseness indicates low vitality,
sluggishness and slow-feeding quail
ties.
The ideals of the breeder and pack
er are coming more and more toward
one common standard. The demands
of the packers are the reason for
show-yard excellence.
When farmers recognize the posi-
bility of exclusive pork production as
a specialized branch of animal indus
try, and evolve systems of farm man
agement adapted to the business, it
will become attractive as a business
proposition, and herds of well-bred
hogs will become common in many To-
calities where few good hogs are now
seen.

BUCKWHEAT IS BEST
GRAIN FOR POULTRY
Chickens and Turkeys Allowed to
Harvest Crop = TrampIing
Down Does No Damage.
(By A. j. LEGG.)

Buckwheat is the best grain crop
that we have ever tried to furnish a
foraging ground for poultry.
| SOW late in July and allow the
chickens and turkeys to harvest it.
They are all the better for the exer-
else and the only cost is for the seed
and work of preparing the soil and
sowing it.
Late in last July | sowed about one
acre where the chickens and turkeys
could have free access. They began
to work on it as soon as the grains
were filled and were at work on it for
nearly two months.
If it is trampled down on the ground
the grains will not damage unless it is
warm enough to sprout them. Buck
wheat will lie on the ground all win
ter and grow in the spring.
A buckwheat stubble makes an ex-
cellent feeding ground for poultry dur
ing pleasant days throughout the fall
and winter season and the poultry en-
joy the exercise.
Our hens, pullets and September
Matched chicks are all in fine condi-
ton, largely due to the buckwheat
to which they have free access

Sow a patch of rape. 1t will furnish
the growing pigs with wealth of pal
atable green feed, and if given a
chance to come back" will produce
crop after crop of excellent succu-
lence.
The most satisfactory method of
growing this crop for swine is to pro-
vide three yards of about equal size
and seed them three weeks apart with
one and one-fourth bushels of oats and
five pounds of rape to the acre The
first lot, of course, is generally sown
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1915-05-05

as soon in the spring as the ground is
dry enough to work.
The pigs can be turned on to the
first lot as soon as the rape is from
IA to 18 inches in height, and as soon
as they have eaten it down to four or
five leaves to the stock, the pigs are
transferred to the next patch and SO
rotated from one lot to the other
throughout the summer.
If well supplied with satisfactory
forage during the summer months,
pigs can be finished for market and
crop natures.

Paris, May 3-Bombardment of
Dunkirk was carried out by a specially
mounted naval gun at a distance of
nearly "a miles, according to an official
statement issued by the war office. The
gun was mounted near Dixmude The
cOmmunique follows:
a German deserter has reported
that for nearly two months engineers
from the Krupp works have been in
stalling in the neighborhood of Dix

has occurred for several months, a
naval gun capable of firing at long
range. This gun, he said, bombarded
Dunkirk, firing at range of about SO
kilometers.
Gun Believed Damaged.
Mine shells only were fired during
the second and last bombardment.
There is reason to believe that the
cannon was damaged as this kind of
fire is such that the most powerful
cannon cannot resist for long; or else
the continuous flights of French air
ships in this region have resulted in
the discontinuance of the firing.
