Mr.. R. S. Eville on Hog Raising.

To make money raising hogs and
bacon no one can make much headway
without first obtaining good, strong,
healthy stock We had good success
with Berkshires, and now we are try
ing Hampshires. But any kind Of
strong, healthy stock will do. The
black and red hogs predominant every
where in the south. White hogs are
not popular. Chester white York
shire8 and 0. l. C's are seldom seen.
Where any one expects to make the
sale Of pigs for breeding, pork and ba-
con the main issue of the farm (and
by bacon | mean cured or smoked
meaO the land should be divided in
to small lots of FIVE to ten acres. with
good, tight fences around each lot.
Plow and plant some of the lots so as
to have plenty of green feed to turn
the pigs on as soon as they are five
or six weeks old. And as fast as
they eat most of the feed in one lot,
turn them into another, and always
plan to have the lots ready in success
sion, and so continue throughout the
wear Our main crop is Mexican Glow
er tRichardsonia Scarbal. We use
this for hog feed, for hay and pas
ture, and no other plant is equal to it
The analysis is very similar to red
clover.
Any Of the following plants will do
TO feed hogs: Cow peas. any of the
sorgums, pearl millet. velvet bears.
Johnson grass. sweet notntoes. min
d,ers' caSsava. turnips. kale, raue. bar

THE DECISIVE BATTLE OF
THE GREAT WAR.
New York World.)


1t is by no means improbable that
the decisive battle of the war has been
fought in the streets of Petrograd,
and that the issue of the conflict has
at last been determined by the Rus
sian revolution.
Russian autocracy has been dou-
Bile handicap to Great Britain and
France-a moral handicap and mill
rty handicap. While ostensibly war
ring for democracy against German
militarism, the British and French
have been compelled to bear the odium
of an alliance that made them the
partners of the most reactionary ana
besotted despotism in Europe. For
this partnership there have been no
compensating military advantages
during the last year.
No sooner did the Russian autocracy
perceive the rapid growth Of liberal
ism throughout the empire than it Sc
cretly cast its lot with the German
autocracy. While nonlinally carry
ing on war against the Central Pow
ers. it managed to paralyze the Rus
sian armies and render them practl-
cally useless. History presents no
other such record Of Government
cons piring against the nation and
working hand in glove with its enc
mics in rms.
At the same time the Germany au-
tocracy las been able to capitalize the
| British and French alliance at 100 per
cent. Of its propaganda value. Ger
mans. Austrians and Hungarians alike
visualize this war in terms Of Russia.
not in terms of Great Britain and
France. However adrotly the hatred
against ENGLAND has beon worked un
throughont the Central Emnires, Il Is
Russia that the ordinary GermoN o.
Austrian fears. i Is the advance of
Russian empire which he breads. l.
is resistance to Russian autocracT
which fans his patriotism and s-:n7u-
lates his valor. for the dancer has
long been 4 real danger. and the non
ace to everything which made life
worth while to him has been real
menace.

half an hour YOU would begin TO
realize that most of US overlook most
OF the blessings in life. They are so
common and so pleasant that they
are taken as a matter Of course, and
nobody thinks of realizing them as
special blessings One has 10 lie
still awhile, OF meet somebody like
this old Negress, TO comprehend
how many blessings most Of US
have, and how litt'o bought We take
OF them.
This reminds me IF an old lady
once met in "a southern city She
was go years of age and blind. She
had been fond OF society and still
enjoyed life as her inhrmities per-
mitted When someone commented
upon her misfortune-for her blind
ness was Of recent origin--the old
lady replied, briskly. My dear, L
blessings 10 think of that 1 have no
time 10 think Of anything else. It
occupies all my waking hours TO
count my blessings"
No wonder she was happy. She
expressed, in her way, what the old
Negress had said in her homely
fashion. We all have so many bless
ings 10 count that if we were 70
take them out Of their box and un-
roll the cotton wool from around
them and begin counting, we would
find all our time occupied and not
another minute TO spare for a sour
or sorrowful or repining thought. II
is counting blessings that creates the
smiles which illuminate the path of
age and make blindness merely an
inner instead Of an outer vision.

Negro woman, that I must tell about

them out before our eyes will make
us gasp. Blessings are not things

and without joy and thankfulnesS,
any more than diamonds are things
to be trampled on in a mine and
left uncut and unappreciated, 10
hide their rays where none might
see or enjoy them. Blessings are
twofold; they confer enjoyment
upon us, and, when they are count
ed and appreciated, they cast a ra-
dance from us upon all who come
within our reach.

NEIGHIBORHOOD


Some persons assume that any
sort Of neighbOrhood or community
ownership is in the realm of dreams
Ethiopian, idle fancyings Of imprac-
teal philosophers, all doomed 10
failure. True most of the attempts
at cooperative housekeeping have
failed, but il has not really been
proved conclusively that the plan is
not feasible. Indeed, many persons
think that within a few decades
something very like cooperative
housekeeping will be in extensive
practice throughout the land.
In the meantime neighborhood
ownership in certain expensive
labor-savin equipment is perfectly
possible. 1t has been put into OPP
Grafton and has proved a means Of
greater household efficiency in prac-
tically every instance. AS far as the
friction that one might naturally ex-
pect from the practice il has never
been any greater than the normal
amount that is a part of all our
housewifely operations.
Neighborhood ownership is al
ways most successful where a num-
Der Of persons Of similar tastes and
habits live within a limited area.
For instance il has been very sue
cessfully carried on by groups Of
professors families in a college
community, where there was friend
