London. May 1O.-Thomas Sidell Of
New York. a survivor, said in London
today that he saw Alfred G. Van
derbnt on the deck of the Lusitania

gallantly took it of, Mr.. Sliden said,
and placed it around the body of a
young woman. Then he went away to
seek another life belt. The ship sank
a few seconds later.
Mr SldeH said that he and Herbert
Stone of New York were sitting in
the smoking room by themselves when
the first torpedo struck the ship.
Both men intuitively knew what had
happened, and simultaneously uttered
the word torpedo
Together they left the room and
went on deck. which already had
acutely tilted Mr.. Stone made for the
upper side of the deck, while Mr.. SHden
moved downward.
This was the last that Mr. Sliden

PROFIT FROM SMALL FLOCK
Wool Buyer Says It Costs Practically
Nothing to Keep Animals-Wool
Brings Higher Price.

For the encouragement of the farm
er who thinks keeping sheep would
be a fine thing if he could carry on
an extensive business, as is done on
the big western ranches, we quote a
Texas wool buyer, who says: "It would
be a great thing for the country if
every farmer owned small flock of
sheep. / buy a great deal of wool
at points where there are no ranches
near, the produce being grown by the
farmers who keep small flocks. ! have
been often told by such farmers that
it costs practically nothing to keep
sheep on a farm. They require very
little feed. They eat the weeds in
the fields and at the same time they
enrich the land. / find that the own
ers of small f1ocks, as a rule, keep
a better grade of sheep and the ami
mails are healthier than are those of
the large ranchmen, the woods from
the farms always CHASING higher than
ranch wools."

By JAMES G. FULLER. Wisconsin Ag-

Don't use a scrub boar.
Don't select brood .sows from twin"

Don't have fat, lazy sows; make
them exercise. Keep their appetites
we'll "whetted."
Don't feed the brood SOW too much
corn.
Don't forget to provide dry, warm,
well ventilated hog houses.
The colony house is cheap and eff
cient in case none other is available
Don't fatten pigs; keep them grow
ing.
Don't fail to provide green forage
for pigs. Alfalfa, rape, clover or rye
make first-class pasture for swine.
Don't let pigs drink from mud holes
and stagnant pools. Provide pure,
clean drinking water for them at all
times.
Keep floors, troughs and bedding
clean Disinfect occasionally. Dip to
prevent lice; vaccinate to prevent
cholera; place worm killing mixtures
within easy access at all times. An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure.

CAMERA MEN IN DANGER

Amateur photographers at the seaside or even
in London and other big cities must be more
careful than ever how they take snapshots during
wartime, for a thoughtless use of their cameras
may easily cause them to find themselves in
prison for a few days, to say the least, Pearsons
Weekly remarks.
In the early days of the war for instance a
perfectly innocent Hull ship chandler, holi-
day in London, with his wife, was arrested by
the police for taking photographs of Battersea
bridge. After being detained the best part of
the day, during which inquiries were made the
authorities were satisfied that he was merely
harmless snapshotter, but nevertheless they
warned him to keep his camera out of use until
the war is overt
There are probably many thousands of anna
teur photographers who, wishing to snap scenes
in the neighborhood of barracks, or other mill
tary or naval places, find themselves arrested
if they were spies. If they must take photo
graphs in these war days let them resort to the
woods and country lanes, as far from military

At the outset OF the war the military authori
ties issued order that no aeroplanes air
ships must be photographed at distance of
less than forty yards, of air station at all,
without the permission of the authorities.
Germany has always been the most dangerous
country for the amateur photographer, and more
than one tourist has found himself roughly han
died by the German police for innocently taking
photographs. special bill was passed few
years ago threatening tourists with fine OF ESQ
or two months Imprisonment who took photo
graphs without permission.
The French officials in the towns on the Fran
co-German frontier have always objected to any
taking snapshots, and, indeed many a tour
list has had his camera temporarily confscated,
to find afterward that his plates have all been
rendered useless.
Italy not only bars people taking photographs
near Notifications but forbids the use of
camera in most Of the picture galleries and mu-
seums.
