APPEAL BY BELGIUM
TO THE UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Belgium
legation made public a translation of
the note from the government hand
ed to Secretary Lansing yesterday,
protesting against the deportation of
Belgians to Germany for forced labor.
It was written nearly month ago
when the German drafts upon Belgian
workmen were just beginning and
since it was put into the mails, Minis
ter Havenith, on cacled instructions,
has presented a direct appeal for &C
tive intervention by the United States
to stop the deportations.
Afer reviewing the situation as it
existed at that time, the note says:
"The government of the king de-
nounces TO all civilized nations these
unworthy proceedings which throw on
the scrapheap the laws of humanity
as we'll as the established rules oil
war in regard to the power permit
ted to an occupier
"The government of the king pro-
tests, with its utmost energy, against
system which the vain explanations
CT the enemy cannot prevent from be-
ing marked and branded as the white
slave trade, an act Of shame browning
with dishonor the German occupation
which pretends to be so solicitious to
guard the legitimate rights of the peo-
pie of Flanders"
The farm in Stockbridge owned by
the late Charles L. Lynch was bought
by his great-grandfathe in 1856 from
an Indian named Solomonuhhaunnau-
waunmut and has been handed down
from father to son in the Lynch fami-
ly ever since then.

DON'T OVERLOOK PASTURES FOR
YOUR HOGS.

This Is a mighty good time to re
call that lecture by Tom. Dick and
Harry at the fair last fall. DO yop
remember IL? The chief thing to re-
member Just nov is the part tina,
good pasturage played in Toms big
gains. He was able 10 pay at the rate
OF sl.30 a month for his pastIrase
during the six months that he was on
1t. or course this was not made with
the pasturage alone, but in conjnc'
tion with good grain feed. The point
is that the pasturage made the grain
feeding more valuable.
But in order to get the advantage
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1916-04-24

of this pasturage we must prepare
for It. While the pasture that Tom
ranged over was not IA specially pre-
pared pasture, yet 1t was a little more
than just a piece OF ground with
fence around 1t. 1t conta,nel lot
of native grasses and he didn't have
to 60 very far to get all lie grass he
wanted. So II just ordinary grasses
will make this difference, think what
the gain would have been had this
pasture consisted of good hog.feeding
crops. Suppose 1t had been peanuts
or cowpeas, or sorghum, or for that
matter, rape. Don't you know Tom
would have paid even more literally
for it,
The moral is that II we want these
good results from raising and feeding
our pigs this year we must commence
right now preparing good pastures
for them by planting such crops as
we know will give the best results.
The list at our disposal is almost un.
limited. There are sorghum and the
grain sorghums and cowpeas and pea
nuts and sweet potatoes and rape.
Properly planned and planted in sep
arately fenced lots. such crops should
raise our pigs without any grain feed
ing except just enough to insure hard
fat. But they must be planned for
and planted now II we hope to get the
greatest benefits from them. 1t won't
do to depend upon native grasses, be-
cause you remember that in July and
August most of these become pretty
brown and dry from the drouth; but
q cultivated crop is at its best just
about this time, and II We have 1t tc
turn our pigs upon they will continue
growing and getting fatter instead of
standing still and requiring moro
grain. Don't overlook this this
spring. Be sure to plant some hog
pasture crops.--Progressive Farmer,
