The fact remains, however, that prices
paid for hogs are low and discourage
ing In spite of these prices the ami
NAL that possesses the above advan-
tages can still lift mortgages for his
owner II the latter will study and apply
some OF the fundamental principles un-
derlying the business.
To begin with, the best can be made
OF poor market by having the hogs
ready at the time when they are most
wanted by that market This normal
ly occurs during the spring and again
during early fall The September and
October market is usually the highest
How can the farmer take advantage
OF these facts to the greatest degree?
In the first place. the hog wanted by
the market usually runs between It's
and 225 pounds. Fortunately this is
the most economical weight at which
to dispose of the hog. Up to this point
his gains are made very cheaply. Be-
yond 300 pounds it is doubtful II un-
der general conditions feeding can be
made profitable business. The hog
If properly fed, can readily be put upon
the market at 200 pounds in six or sew
en- 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, IL necessary. during
the first week in December. The pigs
for the April market should be dropped
in early September. These pigs can
then be weaned before the November
breeding season starts. To have the
pigs dropped in September 1t will be
necessary to breed the sows during
May or early June. Under certain con-
ditions it may be impossible to bring
hogs to the 200-pound mark at six
months; however. a great effort should
be made to attain 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 maintenance also will be in
creased.
Breeding, narrowing, Weanina.
On the average farm there should be
radical improvement in breeding and
the care of details during farrowing,
weaving, etc. There are many COM
plants throughout the country either

WAR review
FOR THE DAY

LONDON, Sept. 29.-Poundng their
way forward amidst shattered German
positions the allies have again scored
important gains on the Somme front.
A great movement to encircIe Ba-
paume, one of the three main objec-
tives of the allies has been launched.
While the French were advancing
on the Fregicourt-MorvaI line the
British captured strongly defended
farm 500 yards southwest of LeSars
in night battle.
Violent artillery dueis are in pro-
gress. Air observers reported a gi-
eantie explosion behind the German
lines southeast Of Bapaume as
though an ammunition magazine had
blown up.
On the eastern front new battles
have developed especially north Of the
GaIacan border as result Of the
counter offensive of the Germans.
Surging forward and backward the
German allies and the entente troops
are still locked in battle all along the
Macedonian front. The Bulgarisns,
unmindfuI of their heavy losses, tried
again to drive the Servians from their
positions at kaiamakcalan Heights, in
western Greek Macedonia, but failed.
The Bulgarian forces that occupied
Mangaiia on the coast of Dobrudja
have been bornbarded by Roumanian
squadron.
Developments are pending in
Greece. The Greek revoIutionists
have captured the island of..Hydra.
General DangIis, former Greek chief
Of staff, has gone to Saioniki to join
the revolutionary movement.

has deserted King Constantine.
Preparations for mobilization in
Greece are being completed rapidly, it

That Constantine has been won over

indicated by the recall of Prince

JAPAN WORKS
FOR PLACE As
TRADE FACTOR

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-Japan is bend
ing her every effort to become a great
world trade factor and apparently is
paying little attention to the war, ac-
cording to Judge Ebert H. Gary, chair
man Of the United States Steel cor
poration, who was here today on his
way back east after a visit to the
Orient.
"The Japanese are going along as
If there were no war;" he said. They
have taken up extensively manufac.
turers that were stopped in the bel
ligerent countries of the war Japan
is busy making clothing and shoes
and is becoming a great commercial
factor. l don't believe the Japanese
are taking sides In the war, now that
they have taken possession Of the ter
ritory formerly occupied by Germany.
Strange as it may seem, Japan is
really most interested in the outcome
of the election for president of the
United States. l saw nothing in Japan
to indicate an unfriendly feeling to-
word the United States, but rather
to the contrary. Leading men seem
anxious to recognize the wealth and
influence of the United States.'

PLACES MACHINERY
TO REMOVE GRAVEL
FOR NATIONAL ROAD

Preparatory to starting work on the
cementing of the National road through
Jackson township early next spring,
Contractor Kirkpatrick has started
placing machinery for removing
gravel on the James Boyd farm, west
of East Germantown.
The T. H. l. & E. traction company
is running spur to the pit. By rea-
son that the traction line runs along
the side of the entire stretch of road
which Mr. Kirkpatrick will improve,
he will dispense with wagon gravel
haulers entirely. The gravel will be
delivered where it is needed by the
traction company and it will be dump
ed from the car into the mixing ma
chine.
About $4,000 worth Of machinery
will be installed at the James A. Boyd
pit.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick has notified county
officials that he will start removing
gravel from the pit as soon as spring
opens.
