WALTON MAKES
COMMENTED HOGS

Hogs not only enjoy a place to
wallow, but water is necessary to
keep them cool during summer.
Most farmers provide some sort
of water hole for pigs to lie in,
but few provide a clean place.
The hog wallows in a filthy place
through necessity, not because he
wants to, for, contrary to gener-
al opinion, the hog is an animal
of clean habits if he is permitted
to exercise his wishes.
\. =. spencer; district agent
for the University of Florida FIX.
tension Division, suggests that
every hog farmer provide a con.
crete or wooden wallow for his
animals. Where the pens or pas.
lures are movable or where one
desires to move the walIow, wood
IS the best material with which
to build. \ team can be hitched
to it, and il can be taken to any
mart of the farm.

ARE BETTER
LAYERS THAN HENS

The man who desires dual
purpose fowl will find the Indian
Runner duck suitable. This duck
is especially adapted To the poul.
tryman who wishes to produce
eggs aud to raise some meat at
the same time. They are perhaps
not so good for meat as some Of
the other breeds. but they make
good roaStcrS. fricrs and brOilers
when they have been properly
fed. They are better layers than
the average hen. From 200 to 800
eggs it not an uncommon yearly
average for them under good care.
While hens usually reach their
maximum egg production in two
Years and then decline, the In.
dian Runners retain their normal
egg production up to seven or
eight years.
While they require good care
to make the best showing, they
are hardy, and do not need as
much care as chickens. Accor.
ding to \. p. Spencer, district
agent for the University of Flor.
ida Extension Division, they are
only slightly subject to diseases.
and parasites seldom trouble
them. Hawks do not bother
them, but if they are not kept
away from sinks and streams.
they will be caught by turtles.
These ducks enjoy pond Of
water, but it is not necessary for
them. II is best TO keep them
enclosed, for they drop their eggs
wherever the notion strikes
them. They do not care much for
nests.

BY using two inch plank, rein
forcing the corners, and by using
heavy nails, this wooden wallow
can be made durable. The cracks
may be calked, or they may be
allowed TO fill with mud.
Where a permanent wallow Is
desired concrete will be the best
material. About eight or ten bags
of cement and two loads Of coarse
sand will be required. Either
wallOw should be about ten to
twelve inches deep, and should
have one or two sloping sides so
that the hogs can get i'm and out
easily. For an ordinary herd n
wallow : by 10 will be large
enough, but larger herds will
need more room.
The wallOw should be cleaned
occasionally TO keep out the mud
and to prevent the water from be-
coming Stagnant. Ry pouring oil
over the surface it can be con-
verified into a dipping vat for lice.
This will also keep mosquitoes
from breeding in the water.

Berlin, Aug. 30, via London, 2:1O p. m.-The abandonment of part of Pennsylvania to the Rumanians is forecast in despatches from news paper correspondents at the Austrian army headquarters.
 Forecasting the strategy on the Ru- manian frontier, the correspondents intimate that the central powers will not attempt to defend the entire bor- der line, owing to it's crookedness and to the large number of troops which would be required for the adequate protection of a front half as long as the Russian battle line. On that ac- count, and inasmuch as Russia and Rumania are operating as a unit, the despatches say, it will be advisa ble to shorten the front by abandonment of certain parts of Pennsylvania

FUNERAL,
 LARGELY ATTENDED
Services for Late Superintendent of Streets Held This Afternoon-
 1ntcI1ncnt in Fairview.

Funeral services for the late Ed ward Wiegand, superintendent of streets, held from his home aft 71 Wallace street at 2 o'clock this aft ernooh were largely attended by his many friends, members Of the city government, business acuuaintances and fralernal brothers Rev How ard 5. Fox assistant pastor at the South church, conducted the services and interment was in Fairview cene- tery.
 Each fraternal order to which Mr. Wlegand was a member furnished one or more pail bearer and flower bearer. The bearers were Ernest N. Humphrey and William G. Mueller, representing the New Britain lodge of Elks; Roger BreWin and Fred Jost, representing Court Charter Oak, Foresters of America; Emil F. Brum- baum, from Mattabessett tribe, I. O. R. M., and Louis Walther, represent ing the COncOrdia Beenefit society.
 The flower bearers were as follows: Henry Emmett, New Britain lodge of Ill1s; William Laforte, Court Charter Oak; T. l.. Dajgle, Red Men; and Gustave Winger, Concordia society. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful, the several lodges sending large pieces and the city hall and city employees also sending a large tribute.
 There was hardly a dry eye dur ing the services. MT. Wiegand en- joyed the respect and esteem of hun dreds of acquaintances and friends. He was big hearted and generous to fault and his death was a severe blow to those who knew him. His consci- entious work as superintendent of streets will not soon be forgotten by city officials and his friendship for men in all walks of life will always be a cherished memorial to those With whom he came in contact.
