Herr Hardwlck Retreats.

Herr Hardwick has made his first
retreat. He has failed to stand the
gaff, and he seems not to have retired
even in good order
In the United States senate on Fri
day there took place a debate that
gave the loyal members of that body
chance to let the few obstruction
lists know what they thought of them
And they took full advantage of the
opportunity. Some of the big guns of
the worlds most distinguished body
of deliberators were turned upon the
tom-tits and the gamecock. There was
q lot of oratory, and much of it was
aimed at the pigmy senator from Geor-
gia. He was so small target they had
ito sight long to get the range on him,
but John Sharp Williams, one of those
who numbered on the senator, who
50 wilfully and so unswervingly mis-
represents Georgia We read in the
New York Times:
While Senator Williams talked,
Senator Hardwick left the chamber and
paced up and down an ante-room, &C
casionally stopping at the door and
glazing at the Mississippian.
Senator Hardwick left the cham
ber" Retreat No. 1 for the doughty
little chap who has heretofore prided
himself that he didn't run away, but
stood by his principles, whether the
people liked them or not. But he
couldn't stand the big frame and the
deep voice and the whitening sarcasm
of the senator from Mississippi. It
was too much even for the following Of

HIGHER EDUCATION IS WORTH
10000, SAYS College Dean

State College, Pa, Dec. 26-
DR.. Arthur Holmes, dean of the
general faculty of the Pennsyl-
vania State College fixes the
monetary value of a college edu-
cation at from $1S, 900 to 500, 600.
His estimate was based on a
comparison of the salaries of
college, trained men with those
not having the same advantages.
According to Dean Holmes, the
average yearly salary of the col
lege man is $11S7, while $51S is
the average annual income of the
non-college man, a difference of
more than $3.50 in favor of the
man with higher training.
Thirty years work will make
this advantage worth $19, 500 ac-
cording to Dean Homes calcula-
ton.

A Pleasing Entertainment.

The Franklin Dramatic Club of
our neighboring town MERGERS
burg, presented the comedy,
David Garrick," in the high
school auditorium New Years
evening much to the pleasure of
a "full house." The players,
among whom was our own Hazel
Garland, were possessed of the
real spirit of Old England society
in the fourteenth century, and the
quaint costumes added to the fas-
cination of clever acting. No
unimportant part of the enter
tainment, was the selections rem
dered by the Mercersburg or
chestra. Business manager Har-
mon B. Hege, another Fulton
County product, proved himself
as capable in the play business
as in that of merchandising.
Our word for it: The town that
wants the Franklin Dramatic
Club on the profit sharing ba-
sis" will make no mistake in
hitching up with the bunch.

Sour Milk For Laying Hens.

While the production of eggs
during the fall and winter when
high prices prevail is the result
of proper breeding, Matching,
rearing and care. proper winter
feeding will always tend to stim-
ulate egg production at that sea-
son.
One reason why hens lay we'll
in spring and summer is that
they are able to obtain animal
protein in the form of bugs and
worms. During fall and winter,
therefore, the poultry feeder
should attempt to initiate sum
mer feed conditions. The com.
mercial poultryman supplies ami
NAL protein by feeding beef
scraps, but the farmer often fails
to provide this feed.
Skimmilk, preferably sour, is a
most excellent substitute for beef
scrap and will give good returns
when fed to laying hens. Nu-
merous experiments have shown
that laying hens fed skimmilk
will double in egg production
similar hens fed no form ofanimal
protein.
According to F. D. Crooks of
the Pennsylvania State College
school of agriculture and expert
ment station, the exact value of
sour milk as a source of protein,
is difficult to state. Numerous
feeding trials, however, place its
value at so cents to 81. 90 per 100
pounds.
Skimmilk lowers the cost of
producing a dozen eggs. On the
farm it may mean the difference
between profit and loss in con-
nection with the farm flock.
Sour milk has a medicinal effect
also. 1t keeps hens in good health
and helps prevent disease.

New Years Day.

New Years Day in McConnells
burg was not very different from
other days. Just as the town
clock struck the hour of midnight
the Court House bell and the
Lutheran church bell began to
ring out the "glad new year"
while for a half an hour there
was a din of cannon crackers,
fire arms, and other loud noises.
Then everything became quiet
the awakened children went to
sleep, and staid in bed a little Ia
ter next morning for the inter-
ruption.
Monday evening, everybody
went to the auditorium to hear
the Franklin Dramatic Club, and
with that the first day of 1917
came to. a close in McConnells-
hurp.

Hale and Hearty.

the County Seat last Saturday
attending to business was Mr..
Elijah Baldwin, Of Fort Littleton
-one of the men that do not
seem to get older as the wheels
Of time roll along. Mr.. Baldwin
was born at Myers Mills in Ad-
ans county, Pa. on the 25th day
Of January, 1881, and if spared
to see his next birthday he will
be sc years of age. Mr.. Bald
win has been a miller, practical
ly all his life. After coming to
this county, he milled five years
at Potts Mill in Ayr township;
then 10 years at Hunters Mill at
Webster Mills; then he purchas-
ed the mill at Fort Littleton, and
has had charge of that during
the last 46 years.

Winter Care Of Sheep Flock

Large lamb losses are due to
improper care of ewes previous
to lambing. The feeding prac-
tice followed at the Pennsyl-
vania State College is as follows:
Ewes are bred during Septem-
ber and October, iDsuring Feb
ruary and March lambs. The
latter part of November ewes
are taken off pasture and placed
in winter quarters. During the
first month they receive as much
clover or alfalfa hay as they will
consume with two and one half
to three pounds Of corn silage or
roots daily to each animal, in
addition to hay. About Janu-
airy first ewes receive a limited
grain ration varying from one
fourth to one half pound per day
depending on their condition.
Ewes receiving a grain ration
before lambing always produce
more milk for lambs. The grain
mixture used at State College
farm consists of 5 parts shelled
corn, 3 parts oats, 2 parts wheat
bran and l part of oil meal.
After lambs are born the eve
will not consume as much
roughage feed. More grain is
then necessary to give a milk
flow sufficient for the best growth
of the lamb. The grain mixture
should be increased therefore
one-half pound or more daily per
eve, depending on her condition
and also upon the number of
lambs she is raising.
Next to proper feeding, exer-
else is considered the most i'm
portant factor in keeping ewes
in good condition for lambing.
Exercise lots should be we'll
drained to prevent sore feet. 1t
is well to allow ewes to range on
pasture during the winter, since
exercise gives strength and en-
ables them to produce lambs with
less effort and of a stronger,
more vigorous type.
