LONDON, March 6.-Twelve per-
sons were killed and SS injured in
the zeppelin raid over the northeast
coast of England last night, it was
officially announced this afternoon.
Three zeppelins took part in the
raid instead of two, as was origin
ally reported. Forty bombs were
dropped by the aerial raiders.
The following statement was given
out by the admiralty:
THE number of zeppelins taking
part in the raid is believed TO have
been three. After crossing the coast
the airships took various courses and
from the devious nature of their
flight the pilots were apparently un-
certain as TO their bearings The
area visited included Yorkshire. Lin
colnshire, Rutland, HUNTINGDON.
Kent. About 40 bombs were drop
ped.
Five Children Killed.
Altogether the casualties so far
ascertained amount 10 three men.
four women and five children killed
and 80 persons wounded The ma
terial damage is two terraces and
houses destroyed, one office, one
public house and several shops part
ly destroyed. An aims house was
also damaged" ~
The eight counties include nearly
the whole area Of the northeast, east
and southeast coast. Yorkshire, Lin
colnshire, Norfolk. Essex and Kent
are on the North sea. Cambridge
shire. Rutland and Huntingdon are
inland.
From the mouth OF the Thames
(the northern border of Kentshire)
to Yorkshire is approximately 100
miles. 1t is 100 miles from London
to Yorkshire. The zeppelins pene-
trated from rs to So miles inland
from the coast
The German admiralty is feeling
with zeppelins in an effort to locate
the British, grand fleet. This is the
belief which exists in England today
as a result of the queer behavior Of
the zeppelins which took part in
Sundays raid over the northeast
coast. The German balloons pene-
trated far TO the north and followed
a zig-zag course which. at times,
took them far out over the sea.
1t is believed TO be the hope Of
the German admiralty Of locating
the grand fleet and then attacking
the dreadnaughts with bombs.
The whereabouts Of the high seas
fleet has been a mystery since the
the early days of the war It is
known that the coasts are guarded
by speedy cruisers and scouts and
destroyers. but the great super
dreadnaughts and battle cruisers Of
the home feet have been kept hid
den. 1t is possible that they may be
in we'll protected harbors on the west
coast. but many think that they are
in northern waters. This suspicion
receives some supI<rt from the fact
that many merchant ships which
have been seized were taken into
port at Kirkwall, Scotland.
The raid on Sunday was the 3Oth
made over English territory by the
Germans since the attack on Dec
"a. 1914 Two hundred and "a per
sons. many Of them women and chill
dren. have been killed during the
raids.

TRAPPING 4 PYTHON.
The Monster is a Victim of HE Own
Greedy Appetite.

4TSSdy -E%EH"eZa
The python's weak point is its stom-
ach: it is a glutton. Not satisfied with
a full supper. it will start at once on
next weeks breakfast if by chance
that future meal happens to be within
easy reach.
A python generally lives in a hole in
the ground or a hollow in a tree, but
il it can find an old ruin in the jungle
and there are many old ruins in In
dat likes to take up its sleeping
quarters there. because even in the
heaviest rains the water run off the
ruins quickly. whereas a hole in the
ground is likely to be flooded. The
python needs to eat only once a week.
and to get that meal it lies fat along
the bough of a tree near a stream and
waits for it's prey to come to drink.
When the natives see the long trail
that the python's body makes near the
bank and find a heap of ruins ear by
they make a hole in the ruined wall
just exactly big enough for the python
to get through. Then they tie a pig to
q stake near the hole on n side of

wall opposite the hole they tie another
pig to a stake. They also tie a wire
to the leg or the tail of the near side
pig, and as evening draws on they
twist it from a distance. and the pig
squeals. As the python comes home
to bed it hears the squeals.
So the python comes along merrily

Down goes the pig into the big snakes
throat, sucked in slowly by sheer mus
cular action. In about half an hour
the pig has passed completely down
the long neck. and in another half
hour it is down a couple of yards far
Their into the python's stomach.
Most animals would go to sleep right
away after a gorge like that. But
meanwhile the second pig on the other
side of the wall has realized its unhap-
DIV brothers woeful fate and has set
up a most distressing noise. The py-
thon puts its head through the hole
and sees it.
"Ah!" it says to itself. Here's my
next weeks breakfast"
And instead of waiting for next
week to come that greedy python swaI-
lows the second pig too. The willy ma
tiveS wait until the second pig is we'll

then they have the snake caught. Pig
No. l prevents it from advancing, and
pig No. 2 prevents it from retreating.

bird with a crow head, long neck or
weak knees should be permitted to
enter into the breeding pens, no mat
ter how good he or she may be in 9TH
err respects. Such defects will be re-
produced in the offspring to large
extent and will injure both the value
and appearance of the young stock.
The breeding pen is no place for any
bird that has ever had any serious
sickness or disease. To use such birds
will be to invite and foster the very
elements that will work havoc in the
flock i'm direct proportion to the num-
Der of such birds that are used. The
requisite of good health and strength
of constitution cannot be too strongly
emphasized when selecting birds for
the breeding pen, as it controls the re-
suits to very large extent.
Naturally it is desirable to select
females for the breeding pen that are
good layers so as to improve the lay
ing qualities of the flock generally. 1t
is impossible, however, to tell exactly
which birds are the best layers unless
trap nest or some device Is used
and this is impractical on the average
farm where the laying flock consists
of above 200 hens. Besides, in the
light of present day experiments the
theory that heavy layers transmit that
quality to their daughters in any
marked degree has not been demon
strated. Hens laying from $50 to 200
eggs year make better breeders
than those laying considerably over
200 eggs a year. In fact, such author
tiles as DIR. Pearl, of Maine, and 9th
ers, have demonstrated that males
from heavy-laying ancestry exert a
greater influence on the egg produc-
ing qualities of the flock that the fe-
male, and there is physiological rea-
son why this should be so. When a

should not be overfed. Overlooking
of the SOW often causes scours In the
pigs.
The pigs should be weaned at 6 or
8 weeks of age. By this time they
should be eating readily and should
be continued for two or three weeks
on the same mixture that their moth
er was receiving, after which the feed
can be changed gradually to a grow
ing, fattening ration If the pigs are
intended 70 rmarket. The addition OF
little sweet skim milk to their ra-
ton at weaving time is especially
helpful to young pigs. Castrating
should be done a week or ten days
before weaving. Spaying does not
pay.
Feeding
The best information on the feeds
available in the farmers locality can
be readily and accurately given by the
State experiment station. Pigs make
the best use of concentrates. These
can be fed in a self-feeder and can be
supplemented by various slaughter
house, bakery, or table by-products,
etc. A by-product to be economical
should be fairly concentrated, should
be moderate in price per 100 pounds
of nutrients, and should be fresh and
free from faint. During the winter,
leguminous hays fed in addition to
the concentrates help reduce the cost
of production. In the summer, pas
ture crops such as rape, alfalfa, bur
clover, crimson clover, rye, etc, make
very economical and efficient supple
ments for hog feeding. In practically
every farming district in the United
States cheap and efficient forage and
grain crops are available for hog pro-
duction. These should be diligently
studied by the farmer, with the aid of
the state and federal forces, and used
in the most profitable manner.
The self-feeder is greatly reducing
the labor cost in hog production, and
the principles governing its use
should become a part of every hog
growers equipment. 1t is especially
useful in feeding growing, fattening
stock, which is the largest part of hog
production on most farms.
Hogs require continually mineral
supplements to their feed. These
have been furnished in some of the
Southern States by allowing them
free access to the following mixture

made TO carry a surprisingly heavy
traffic for short time.
In contrast to the clay or gumbo
road, the sand road gives least trou-
bic during wet weather. On sandy
roads anything that will prevent the
free movement of the sand particles
will be of value. AS long as the road
is damp, the surface tension of the
capillary water acts as a binder and
holds the separate grains of sand in
place. All efforts should, therefore,
be directed toward preventing the
sand places from drying out, or to
adding some binder. The addition of
clay furnishes a positive binder and is
really the best permanent treatment.
The addition of any fibrous material
such as straw, spent tan bark, sage
brush or pine needles is of value and,
when spread on the road and covered
with thin coat Of sand or allowed to
work into the surface, will make an
almost impossible sand road fairly
fairly good for time. But the best
way to treat bad place, whether a
clay or sand road, is to treat it before
it gets bad. Immediate attention to
small injuries will prevent later pro-
longed attention and extensive repairs
to serious damages.

Breeding, narrowing, WEAVING
On the average farm there should
be radical Improvement in breeding
and the care of details during farrow-
ing. weaving, etc. There are many
complaints throughout the country
either of small litters or else a great
mortality in pigs. BY keeping the
production records of sows and select
ing from those that produce and raise
large average litters a breeder can
raise to its most efficient point the
size of his litters. This probably runs
between seven and eight to the litter.
The hog raiser can prevent losses,
other than those caused by disease,
by providing proper shelter for the
sow at narrowing time. In the South
this shelter can be constructed very
cheaply, and even in the North il can
be provided in most cases at moder-
ate cost. The farmer should always
be present at narrowing time, but
should not interfere with the sow un-
less necessity calls for his assistance.
The raiser should always cultivate the
confidence of his animals by quiet and
humane handling; this care and at
tention in times of necessity iwll pay
big returns. The pigs upon arrival
should be rubbed dry with a gunny
sack and quietly removed to place
of safety. For this purpose it is well
to provide a covered basket or hamper
containing gunny sacks. In cold,
damp weather it may be well to warm
brick, wrap it in a gunny sack, and
place it in the basket to warm up the
new arrivals. If the SOW is very long
in narrowing, it may be well after
two or three hours to place the little
pigs carefully and quietly where they
can get some nourishment and then
replace them in the basket until the
mother is through.
For IL hours before narrowing and
for "a hours afterwards the SOW
should have no feed. During this
period all the fresh, clean water that
she may desire should be accessible.
The water should have the chill taken
off. The first feed after narrowing
should be very light, preferably a
bran mash. The best Indicator of the
amount of feed necessary for a SOW
and her pigs is her condition and the
condition Of the youngsters themsel-
yes. The SOW should receive enough
to keep her and her pigs in fair
condition (not bony), and yet she

Hog-Raising Hints


The low prices received for hogs
during the past year have been dis
couraging to some of the hog raisers
Of the country. The hog should be a
paying animal. He requires less la
Dor, less equipment, less capital,
makes greater gains on 100 pounds
of concentrates, reproduces himself
faster and in greater numbers, and
returns the money faster than any
other farm animal. The fact remains,
however, that prices paid for hogs
are low and discouraging. In spite Of
these prices the animal that possesses
the above advantages can still lift
mortgages for his owner if the latter
will study and apply some of the
fundamental principles underlying
the business.
To begin with, the best can be
made of a poor market by having the
hogs ready at the time when they are
most wanted by the market. This
normally occurs during the spring and
again during early fall. The Septem-
Der and October market is usually the
highest. How can the farmer take
advantage of these facts to the great
est degree? In the first place, the
hog wanted by the market usually
runs between IT'S and 225 pounds.
Fortunately this is the most economi-
cal weight at which to dispose of the
hog. Up to this point his gains are
made very cheaply. Beyond 800
pounds it is doubtful if under general
conditions feeding can be made a pro-
fitable business. The hog, if properly
fed, can readily be put upon the mar
ket at 200 pounds in six or seven
months. Therefore have the pigs for
the September market dropped in the
latter part of February or during
March. This will require that the
breeding of the sows begin about the
latter part of October or November
first, continuing, if necessary, during
the first week in December. The pigs
can then be weaned before the Nov
ember breeding season starts. To
have the pigs dropped in early Sep
TENDER it will be necessary to breed
the sows during May or early June.
Under certain conditions it may be
impossible to bring hogs to the 200
pounds mark at six months; however,
a great effort should be made to at
tain this goal, as time means money,
and the longer hogs are held the
greater will be the labor and overhead
charges. The cost of feed for main
tenance also will be increased.
Further, In connection with the re-
lation of markets to hog raising, it
will be noticed in going over the his
tory of some of the leading markets
