London, May 24.-There's a murder
trial coming soon in London that will
hold the attention of the world, in
spite of the great war.
George Joseph Smith is a name that
carries as many shudders in England
these days as the most gruesome stor-
les Of the battlefield It's name that
suggests to every man and woman in
England the abysmal depths to which
the human mind can descend It's a
name that suggests anew, how, here
and there. among humanity. a being,
who looks like a man, talks like
man and goes his way among men,
unnoticed, may after ALL possess SO
little heart and soul and so little of

belong to him, and he stands, when
discovered an unnamed, unplaced
creature in the list of living things
Public Prosecutor Bodkin arose in the
Bow street police court and introduce
ed George Joseph Smith to the world
when he said:
This man will be charged with the
murder of three wives"
And then Bodkin told the story that
filled the London newspapers today
with the tale of alleged crime, crowd
ed the war news off the front pages
and gave England a topic that has
made it forget, for the time, the strug-
gle that is going on with the Germans
in France.
This story showed that there was
Just enough humanity in George Jo-
seph Smith to cause his heartstrings
to anchor themselves to one woman
from her side he went into the world
TO do unspeakable things, If Bodkins
story be true, but he always came
back to her; against her there was no
murder in his heart: other women died
in his presence, but he came back from
their graves to this one woman who
seems to have clutched and held him

Breeders Disagree on Age at

tbY H. u. w la OANES.t
There is a great difference in opin-
Ion among farmers-and good farm
ers at that-as to the age at which
sows should be bred. Some men breed
gifts at ten or eleven months, while
others do not bred until they are two
years old
Some farmers claim that a SOW
should not be bred after she is four
years old, as she is then apt to kill
her pigs by lying on them. This
trouble is generally due to the SOW
being too fat rather than her age.
Never select brood SOW with long
lean, narrow head and wicked little
eyes. She is apt to be nervous and
cross and a pig eater. It is a good
plan to feed little grain to the grow
ing pigs even though they are rum
ming on good pasture.

Their young hogs out into the swamps
along the rivers and creeks and pay
no attention to them during the en-
tire summer. rounding them up in the
fall only to feed them two or three
weeks before shipping them to mar
ket. Some surprisingly good results
are obtained in this way. too.
Sows with a young litter should be
watched carefully, for there are many
sows who do not give enough milk to
start the pigs off well. In such cases
the youngsters should be fed a little

The boar should always be con-
fined and never be allowed to run

Pigs fed on skim milk must also
have plenty of water. for milk will
not take the place of water. It turns
into solid food almost Immediately
after entering the stomach and if fed
on skim milk long enough they will
suffer greatly from thirst
When pigs are old enough to eat
they should be fed in a separate pen
from that in which their mother is

to admit the pigs and keep out the
mother should be placed in tie parti-
ton so they can come aud go at will.
