Little Weather Prophets.

If you go out on a summer
morning and find the ants busi-
ly engaged in clearing out their
nests and dragging the sand and
bits of earth to the surface, you
may be sure, no matter h 20 W
cloudy it is, that there will be no
rain that day, and possibly for
several days. If, however, in
the afternoon you see the ants
hurrying back to their nests, and
the sentinels hunting up the
stragglers and urging them to go
home, you may be certain that
there will be rain that afternoon
or night. How the ants know
we have no idea, but they do
know.

Grain for Hogs on Pasture.

While the cost of producing
pork may be reduced by the use
of green feed, it is desirable to
feed grain in addition. There is
no time that grain can be so prof
itably fed to a hog as when he is
young and running on pasture.
Under such conditions, it is pos
sible to secure Is pounds of gain
for each bushel of grain fed.
During the spring. summer, and
early fall months from oneIhalf
to three-fourths of a full feed of
grain will be sufficient for hogs
running on pasture.

Canning and EyapOrating rIants.

EDITOR PECK: Since coming
to Newville, many friends who
know of the favorable fruit con-
ditions found in the interior parts
of Fulton county, have asked
why canning and evaporating
plants have not been established,
green products reduced to mar
kentable form, stored, and, at
convenient time, taken to ship
ping points?
Since the foregoing is along
the line of argument frequently
used by the NEWS, | thought it
might encourage the business
men of the County to know that
others see this matter in the
same light.
The farmers of hilly sections of
your county would heartily agree
to support local canning and
evaporating plants. provided,
they be assured of permanency,
and "disinterested" manage
ment, in other words, cut out all
"axe grinding"
These farmers many of them
know that better use should be
made Of those old hills; but, un-
less you get that County Agent,
men who have time and talent to
promote such things will have 10
take the initiative in hand. Tn, n
watch the bank deposits growl

IRON ORE AND The
EUROPEAN WAR.

The iron ore deposits of France
are likely to be very important
factor in deciding when and how
terms of peace shall be agreed upon
by the European nations now at
war. Soon after war was declared,
The Iron Trade Review caller atten-
ton to the vast Importance of these
deposits and published a map show
ing the location of the iron ore of
France and iron and steel manufac-
turing plants in the district which
was taken possession of by Germany
early in the war. Later information
which we have received is to the eff
feces that while at first the Germans
used ordinary mining methods and
did not waste the ore, they recently
have been mining hurriedly with lit
tie or no regard for conservation of
valuable deposits. However this may
belt is clear that Germany will hold
on to the ore lands as long as pos
sible and get as much out of them
as it can.
Frank H. Simonds, one of the alb
lest writer's on the war, in an article
published recently, predicts that the
present conflict will last four years
from August l, 1914, and will end
inside German frontiers. He shows
very clearly that if peace is restored
now Germany would be the victor.
He tells of the success of Germany in
annexing the industrialized districts
of France, Belgium and Poland and
calls attention particularly to the
great iron ore deposits of France
still held by Germany. France"
have her lost lands and no French
o. IeM 7q1 :1o4Je suee1u,, 'sAes on
statesman will now consider a peace
which does not restore the Lorraine
iron districts, Saar coal districts and
the remarkable deposits of phos-
phate along the Vosges." Mr. ST.
monds adds:
ITO put it boldly: In two years
of war Germany has wrecked the
factory and industrial machinery
and plants of France and Belgium
and of Russian Poland; she has very
seriously crippled the shipping re-
sources of her only considerable RI
val on the seas. In doing all this,
she has been able to preserve her
machinery intact and her CONNER
cial fleets have not suffered proper
tionately to the British. Now, if
peace came tomorrow, her plants
her shipping, would be, with relation
to world commerce, in a far better
position than they were in August,
1914. Like all other great nations,
she would have incurred vast debt,
but, while she had crippled their
means of paying debt, she would
have preserved hers"
If the allies did not Immediately
perceive these important facts, they
certainly do now and we believe they
will not rest or sign any peace trea-
ties until they have put their coun-
tries in such condition industrially
that Germany will not have advan-
tage in the commercial struggle
which is bound to follow the pre-
sent war.

A Delightful Entertainment.

The visit to Shepherdstown last Thurs
day evening of Mr.. Folger McKinsey, the
BentZtown Bard, of The Baltimore Sun,
was an occasion to be remembered, and
those who braved the terrors ofthe worst
night OF the winter were more than re-
paid. Mr.. McKinsey gave reading in
the Shepherd College auditorium, where
ne had an audience ola couple OF hundred
very appreciative friends. They were
his friends already, because they had all
read for years the sweet, fragrant things
that he writes daily for the Sun, and their
regard was increased after they had heard
him for an hour or two in the interpreta-
ton of his own poems, MIR. McKinseY
took the audience on two delightful trips
to Childhood Town, and the people were
assuredly were with him in this most
pleasant journey. He asserts no claim as
an elocutIonist, but he has the qualities
of the best of readers, and no one could
have gotten more fully the appreciative
interest and sympathetic fellow-feeling
of his audience than he. We have never
had a more charming combination OF
author and interpreter, and his pleasing
personality and justified expression OF
his own best thought was simply delight
full. Mr.. McKinsey is talented and
graceful writer, but he is an equally &C
complished reader. Everybody says so.
The evenings programme was enjoy
ably varied with sweet music furnished
by friends from Martinsburg. Mr.. and
Mrs. Leon H. Ware, DR.. q. B. Geyer,
and Miss Eleanor Ashcom composed an
accomplished quartette OF excellent sing
ers who greatly pleased the audience.
Each sang a solo and in addition they
rendered two quartettes in splendid style.
The inslsteut encores showed how great
ly the audience appreciated the good mu-
sic they gave US. Miss Maggie Menells,
of Shepherd College, played their accom-
paniments most acceptablY.
Mr.. McKinsey and the Martinsburg
singers were entertained while in Shep-
herdstown by Mr.. H. L. Snyder, and af-
ter the performance Thursday night
reception was held at his home as a COM
pliment TO his guests. A large number
of persons from the town and community
were in attendance, and they were es-
peciaIIy gratified to find Mr.. McKinsey,
whom they had known in an impersonal
way, to be such friendly, genial gentle
man. We allinsiStupon return engage
ment and he generously promises that he
will come again.
